Pheromone Emission Rate by Rhyzopertha dominica (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) in Response to Adult Starvation and Presence of Conspecifics
Authors: Edde P A , Phillips T W 
Published: August 2010

Abstract
Males of Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) produce the aggregation pheromones dominicalure-1 (DL1) and dominicalure-2 (DL2), which attract both sexes of the beetle to food source and for mating. The insect only releases these male-produced pheromones during feeding, and volatile emissions from other insect or plant species are not known to contain DL1 or DL2. Studies have suggested that overcrowding and the nutritional state of the adult could have an important effect upon life history parameters such as longevity, mating, and reproduction in the insect. In the current study, we used quantitative gas chromatographic techniques to examine the effect of temporary starvation and beetle density on pheromone dynamics in the insect. R. dominica males that were unfed immediately before testing released less quantity of pheromones compared with fed insects, but pheromone release returned to normal over time on resumption of feeding. Pheromone signaling in the beetle was affected by the interactions between food quantity and male density. The interactive effect showed that by increasing the quantity of food, thus reducing the density of males per quantity of food, the hitherto low rate of pheromone release observed in the insect was reversed and individual males release more pheromone, and thus a stronger signal for responders, as if they were alone with adequate food. The study also showed that the quantity of pheromone emitted per male declined with increasing beetle density and that this effect is stronger in the presence of other males than of females.
Multi-Island Endemicity: Phylogeography and Conservation of Coelus pacificus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) Darkling Beetles on the California Channel Islands

Abstract
The California Channel Islands have been the focus of multiple conservation studies on charismatic vertebrates and plant species, but very few studies have focused on insects. In this study we examined the phylogeography of Coelus pacificus Fall (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), a dune-inhabiting darkling beetle, endemic to the islands. Our aim in this study is to decipher the relationships between C. pacificus and the congeneric species Coelus ciliatus Eschscholtz that is distributed on the mainland, to examine the biogeographic relationships of the islands and augment the conservation efforts on the islands with insect data. We sequenced 235 specimens of Coelus for the cytochrome oxidase I mitochondrial gene. We performed phylogenetic analyses to assess the historical relationships of the different species and islands. We also examined the connectedness of the islands by using pairwise φst and hierarchical analysis of molecular variance to test alternate hypotheses of geographical structure, Based on the phylogenetic analyses, C. pacificus is a valid, multi-island endemic species. Haplotypes were grouped into two clades: one clade composed of Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, San Miguel, and San Nicolas; and the other clade composed of Santa Catalina and San Clemente. The highest haplotypic diversity was observed in San Clemente and San Nicolas islands, but all islands had unique haplotypes. Two haplotypes morphologically indistinguishable from C. pacificus formed a sister clade to C. ciliatus, suggesting either an ancient hybridization event or cryptic speciation. The California Channel Islands should be managed on a system wide basis, at least for some of the organisms or habitats and each island's population requires separate management to protect genetic integrity.
The Ethical Obligations of Researchers in Protecting the Rights of Human Research Subjects
Authors: Blackmer Jeff 
Published: August 2010

AbstractPost World War II trials of Nazi crimes against humanity also exposed the horrific and deadly experiments conducted by the Nazi physicians on prisoners in the concentration camps. These trials resulted in the adoption of the “Nuremberg Code” for medical research, which was codified and adopted by the 18th World Medical Association (WMA) General Assembly, Helsinki, Finland, in June 1964. The “Declaration of Helsinki,” as it became known, and its amendments and clarifications represent a universal standard for the conduct of research and human subject care. Assurance of scientific integrity, appropriateness and utility of research, and protection of human subjects are at the core of ethical principles to be upheld regardless of the geographic location where research is conducted.

Abstract
The bis(melaminium) sulphate dihydrate, 2,4,6-triamine-1,3,5-triazin-1,3-ium tartrate monohydrate, 2,4,6-triamine-1,3,5-triazin-1-ium hydrogenphthalate, 2,4,6-triamine-1,3,5-triazin-1-ium acetate acetic acid solvate monohydrate, 2,4,6-triamine-1,3,5-triazin-1-ium bis(selenate) trihydrate, melaminium diperchlorate hydrate, melaminium bis(trichloroacetate) monohydrate and melaminium bis(4-hydroxybenzenesulphonate) dihydrate were discovered recently as perspective materials for nonlinear optical applications. On the basis of X-ray structures for eight melaminium compounds the time dependent Hartree Fock (TDHF) method was used for calculation of the polarizability, and first and second hyperpolarizability. Detailed directional studies of calculated hyperpolarizability for all investigated melaminium compounds are shown. The theoretical results are compared with experimental values of β.
Comparison of IFCC and NGSP methods for determination of glycated haemoglobin using advanced regression techniques

Published: August 2010

Abstract
The objective of this work was a correct statistical comparison of two assay methods for determination of glycated haemoglobin HbA1c. The immunoturbidimetric determination of HbA1c was performed in two ways: using an automatic analyser Hitachi 912, calibrated according to the IFCC reference system (International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine) and using an analyser Advia 1200 and the NGSP reference system (National Glycohaemoglobin Standardization Program). For statistical comparison of these two analytical methods several advanced regression methods were used, which respect random errors of both compared methods. Specifically, Deming regression with and without weights, orthogonal regression, and Passing-Bablok regression were employed. The results demonstrate that the investigated analytical assay methods do not correspond to each other. The summarized results indicate usefulness of better harmonisation of two existing reference systems.

A Partial Trisomy 2p(p21→pter) Derived from a Paternal t(2;4)(p21;q33) KaryotypeWe describe a 7-year-old boy with additional material on 4q whose karyotype was 46, XY, der(4) t(2;4)(p21: q33). The father's karyotype was 46, XY, t(2;4)(p21;q33) and the mother's was normal. These results indicate that the extra material on 4q in the patient originated from the father's chromosome 2p. The patient had dysmorphic facial features, prominent ears, long fingers, developmental delay, speech delay and suffered from seizures.

Unique Presentation of an 8p Deletion in a Discordant Twin with Atrioventricular Canal Defect and Prolonged HypoglycemiaWe report on a del(8)(p22) in a severe intrauterine growth retarded newborn with balanced atrioventricular canal defect and prolonged hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy. Atrioventricular septal defects are associated with terminal deletions of chromosome 8p. Hyperinsulinism during infancy represents a group of clinically, genetically and morphologically heterogeneous disorders and is also associated with mutations in several genes. However, such 8p deletions are not associated with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy.

Trisomy 21 with a Small Supernumerary Marker Chromosome Derived from Chromosomes 13/21 and 18We describe a trisomy 21 with a small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC) derived from chromosomes 13/21 and 18 in which the karyotype was 48, XY, +der(13 or 21)t(13 or 21;18)(13 or 21pter→13q11 or 21q11.1::18p 11.21→18pter),+21. Of the 35 case reports in the literature for a karyotype 48, XN, +21,+mar, in only 12 was the origin of the sSMC determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and only one was a der(13 or 21) and none were derived from two chromosomes. The influence of the partial trisomy 18p on the clinical outcome was hard to determine, however, there are reports on clinically healthy subjects for partial trisomy 18p.
A Method of Parametric Evaluation of The Technical Object Reliability

A Method of Parametric Evaluation of The Technical Object Reliability
This work presents a practical and effective method to evaluate the reliability status of an object basing on the observation of changes in its functioning (automatics) and its technical condition (diagnostics). It has been observed that changes of the functioning condition potential could serve to determine the symptoms of transient (momentary) damages and the changes in the potential of the technical condition to determine the symptoms of parametric damages (non-total). Such an information, as it turns out, is sufficient to calculate reliability characteristics before dangerous catastrophic damages occur and to calculate reliability characteristics for every single object without having to deal with a numerous set of objects. The presented computer-aided method can be of a substantial practical importance in coordination of adjusting/control functions, diagnostics and reliability actions and thanks to that it can improve the level of organisation of a system operation.

Geochemistry, petrology and tectonomagmatic significance of basaltic rocks from the ophiolite mélange at the NW External-Internal Dinarides junction (Croatia)

Published: August 2010

Geochemistry, petrology and tectonomagmatic significance of basaltic rocks from the ophiolite mélange at the NW External-Internal Dinarides junction (Croatia)At the NW inflexion of the Sava-Vardar Suture Zone ophiolite mélanges, known as the Kalnik Unit, form the surface of the slopes of several Pannonian inselbergs in the SW Zagorje-Mid-Transdanubian Zone. The Mt Samoborska Gora ophiolite mélange, thought to be a part of the Kalnik Unit, forms a separate sector obducted directly onto Dinaric Triassic carbonate sediments. Basaltic rocks, the only magmatic rocks incorporated in the mélange, include Middle-Triassic (Illyrian-Fassanian) alkali within-plate basalts and Middle Jurassic (uppermost Bathonian-Lower Callovian) tholeiitic basalts. The latter sporadically constitute composite olistoliths, and are geochemically divided into N-MORB-like (high-Ti basalts) and transitional MORB/IAT (medium-Ti basalts). These geochemically different rocks suggest crystallization at various tectonomagmatic settings, which is also indicated by the rock paragenesis and host clinopyroxene compositions. Alkali basalts reflect melts derived from an OIB-type enriched mantle source [Ti/V= 62.2-82.4; (La/Lu)cn= 6.4-12.8] with Nd-Sr isotope signatures close resembling the Bulk Earth [εNd(T=235 Ma)= + 1.6 to + 2.5]. They are recognized as preophiolite continental rift basin volcanic rocks that closely predate the opening of the Repno oceanic domain (ROD) of the Meliata-Maliac ocean system. The high-Ti and medium-Ti basalts from composite blocks derived from a similar depleted mantle source (εNd(T=165 Ma) = + 6.01 vs. + 6.35) succesively metasomatized by expulsion of fluids from a subducting slab leading to a more pronounced subduction signature in the latter [Ti/V=31.6-44.8 and (Nb/La)n=0.67-0.90 vs. Ti/V=21.5-33.9 and (Nb/La)n=0.32-0.49]. These composite blocks indicate crust formation in an extensional basin spreading over the still active subducting ridge. The majority of high-Ti basalts may represent the fragments of older crust formed at a spreading ridge and incorporated in the mélange of the accretionary wedge formed in the proto-arc-fore-arc region. The Mt Samoborska Gora ophiolite mélange represents the trailing edge of the Kalnik Unit as a discrete sector that records the shortest stage of tectonomagmatic evolution related to intraoceanic subduction in the ROD.

Magneto-, and isotope stratigraphy around the Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary in the Vysoká Unit (Malé Karpaty Mountains, Slovakia): correlations and tectonic implications
Magneto- and isotope stratigraphic studies in the Vysoká Nappe (Hlboča section, Fatric Unit, Malé Karpaty Mts, Slovakia) were performed. A generally decreasing δ13C isotope curve is interpreted as a primary trend from the Late Oxfordian (3.3 ‰ V-PDB) to the Late Tithonian (1.8-1.4 ‰ V-PDB). Data from the Tithonian part of the Tegernsee Formation probably reflect "local" basin processes connected with the breccia formation in the latest Tithonian/earliest Berriasian and/or with possible diagenetic overprint. The C-isotope record of the Berriasian Padlá Voda Formation is more homogeneous (1.4-1.8 ‰ V-PDB) and assumed to be primary. Magnetostratigraphic investigations were focused on the Jurassic/Cretaceous (J/K) boundary strata. Upper Tithonian nodular limestones of the Tegernsee Formation differ substantially from Lower Berriasian calpionellid limestones of the Padlá Voda Formation in rock magnetic properties. Hematite is present in the Tegernsee Formation, while magnetite is the only magnetic mineral of the Padlá Voda Formation. Additionally, the latter formation contains superparamagnetic magnetite, which significantly influences its magnetic susceptibility. Correlation of normal and reversed magnetic intervals with the Late Tithonian global polarity time scale was supported by microfossil stratigraphy. M21n to M20n magnetozones were distinguished, including the short reversed Kysuca (M20n1r) Subzone within M20n. Interpretation of Lower Berriasian magnetostratigraphy was more complex due to presence of breccia horizons and a stratigraphic gap at the J/K boundary in the lower part of the Padlá Voda Formation embracing M19r and most of M19n magnetozones. This formation was also partially affected by remagnetization. Detailed correlation between the isotope- and magnetic stratigraphy of the Tithonian-Berriasian interval between Hlboča and Brodno sections is also complex due to J/K stratigraphical gap within the Hlboča section. The primary B component accounts for counter-clockwise rotation of the Vysoká Unit with a magnitude of ca. 50°. Since the paleodeclination of Paleogene and Karpatian-Eggenburgian rocks in the area is similar, the rotation must have taken place after Early Miocene. The paleoinclinations of several Upper Tithonian-Berriasian sections of the Central Western Carpathians and western part of the Pieniny Klippen Belt are consistent and indicate paleolatitude of 27-30°N.
Genèse et structure d'un capital institutionnel européen
Authors: Georgakakis Didier , de Lassalle Marine 
Published: August 2010

Résumé Ce texte rend compte d’une enquête sur les hauts fonctionnaires européens et, plus particulièrement, d’une étude prosopographique des directeurs généraux et directeurs généraux adjoints de la Commission européenne. Celle-ci peut être analysée comme un espace de positions relativement structuré, notamment par la production et l’inégale distribution d’un crédit d’institution pour partie autonome. Une telle perspective va au rebours des interprétations qui en font une « multi-organisation » mouvante et imprévisible et permet de poser en d’autres termes la question des « orientations » politiques collectives ou individuelles de ses agents. La première partie de l’article revient sur les processus socio-historiques de démarcation d’un corps de fonctionnaires communautaires et sur l’émergence d’un crédit spécifiquement européen. La seconde porte sur les oppositions qui s’instaurent entre des pôles communautaires/nationaux et généralistes/sectoriels et sur le renversement tendanciel des hiérarchies au sein de cet espace au profit des pôles communautaires et généralistes.
Ferragus, une « sociologie-fiction » de la confiance
Authors: Lagneau-Ymonet Paul 
Published: August 2010

Résumé	Balzac raconte dans Ferragus l’ascension et la disparition des époux Desmarets dont la trajectoire au sein de la bourgeoisie d’affaires parisienne, sous la Restauration, illustre trois formes entrelacées de capital symbolique : le crédit professionnel, la confiance conjugale et l’honorabilité mondaine.	Cette fable sociale constitue une véritable sociologie-fiction de la confiance, et permet une analyse socio-historique des conditions d’émergence d’une catégorie particulière de bourgeois parisiens : les agents de change, ces officiers ministériels et commerçants investis du monopole de la négociation des titres admis à la cote officielle de la Bourse de Paris.
Impérialisme économique et impérialisme militaire américains
Authors: Mann Michael 
Published: August 2010

Résumé Cet article propose une typologie des différentes formes d’empire de l’ère moderne et cherche à y situer l’impérialisme américain. Il analyse ensuite deux phases récentes d’intensification de cet impérialisme : l’offensive néolibérale de détachement du dollar par rapport à l’étalon-or menée par les États-Unis dans les années 1970, et l’impérialisme militaire qui a connu un regain au cours des années 1990 et 2000. Ces deux phases sont-elles liées, comme l’avancent les théories du système-monde ? L’article répond par la négative, et suggère qu’elles ont été portées par différents groupes d’intérêt, mus par des motivations différentes, avec des conséquences différentes. Tandis que la phase d’intensification économique de l’impérialisme américain était soigneusement calibrée autour d’intérêts nationaux et parvint à préserver la domination globale exercée par les États-Unis, l’intensification militaire, beaucoup plus idéologique et émotionnelle, se révéla être un échec qui fragilisa dans une certaine mesure cette même domination.
Crimes de guerre et politiques impériales
Authors: Dezalay Sara 
Published: August 2010

Résumé Ce trend report vise à relater, par le biais de portraits de personnages emblématiques et d’extraits inédits, certains grands débats qui traversent actuellement l’espace académique juridique aux États-Unis, autour de questions liées aux interventions armées et juridiques pour gérer les violences du Sud. Ces productions académiques sont produites au croisement des champs militant, médiatique et surtout politique. Elles constituent des prises de position par rapport à la politique menée par l’Administration Bush en Irak et dans le cadre de sa « guerre contre le terrorisme ». La trajectoire de Samantha Power est ainsi emblématique de la mobilisation d’une combinaison de ressources – juridiques, politiques et médiatiques – qui expliquent en partie la place qu’occupe actuellement aux États-Unis le débat sur la qualification de « génocide » de la situation au Darfour pour justifier une guerre « juste ». Les prises de position de juristes libéraux se révèlent plus ou moins proches du cœur de l’ establishment juridique américain, qui se retranche derrière les règles de l’État de droit pour critiquer les pratiques de torture et de déni de justice de l’Administration Bush. Enfin, les portraits de Chérif Bassiouni et Juan Méndez illustrent une combinaison de ressources, académiques et militantes, dans l’espace américain, qui offre une clé d’explication de la force du processus de « judiciarisation » des conflits.
L'accompagnement à la création d'entreprise
Authors: Darbus Fanny 
Published: August 2010

Résumé Avec la montée du chômage, les créations d’entreprises individuelles ne cessent de se multiplier. Porté par l’État et relayé par des praticiens de terrain dès le début des années 1980, l’auto-emploi fait l’objet de divers dispositifs qui aboutissent à la construction d’un secteur d’aide et d’accompagnement à la création d’entreprise. Bien que concernant peu de bénéficiaires, les dispositifs et les organismes qui émergent de ce secteur préfigurent les nouvelles politiques d’emploi. Cet article entend montrer comment les récentes technologies sociales et juridiques qui en sont issues permettent aux aspirants entrepreneurs de voir leurs conditions d’emploi se sécuriser en se rapprochant de la condition salariale, alors que, par ailleurs, les protections associées à cette dernière ne cessent de s’effriter. Ainsi, les cadres proposés pour entreprendre se multiplient et se complexifient pendant que les profils de ceux qui sont conduits à les rejoindre se « normalisent ».
L'enquête des Gaston ou les sociologues au travail

Published: August 2010

Résumé En 1954 Bernard Mottez et Jacques Dofny, alors apprentis sociologues, partaient, supervisés par Alain Touraine et Jean-Daniel Reynaud, arpenter les laminoirs de Mont-Saint-Martin pour enquêter sur la perception du changement technique par les ouvriers. Cette enquête phare de la sociologie du travail française d’après-guerre, dont c’était là la première phase, ne sera finalement publiée sous forme d’ouvrage qu’en 1966. Cet article vise à dégager, si ce n’est tous, du moins certains des différents « états » (comme on dit d’une peinture), cachés derrière la seule façade visible de l’ouvrage de 1966. Son matériau est constitué, outre des différents rapports intermédiaires, du carnet d’enquête tenu par les deux jeunes chercheurs, qui s’appelaient eux-mêmes les Gaston. Ce précieux document permet d’étudier la sociologie « en train de se faire » et de montrer comment l’ouvrage final traduit l’enquête selon les normes d’écriture de l’exposé sociologique de cette période.
