Truchement, transfert, figures de la folie chez Jacques Ferron
Authors: Kègle Christiane 
Published: July 2012

Résumé
À plusieurs reprises, Ferron récusa Le Pas de Gamelin, oeuvre dans laquelle la transposition littéraire accusait selon lui quelque difficulté. Cette " catastrophe • fut suivie d'une dépression qui le conduisit au • 6e du General Hospital: Au-delà des éléments autobiographiques, il s'agit de montrer comment la rhétorique du discours vient éclairer le problème de la transposition littéraire chez Ferron. Cherchant à rendre compte de la folie (celle des recluses de Gamelin), le médecin-écrivain privilégie le détour métonymique par lequel s'institue un glissement du sujet, les failles du -truchement", les ratés de la transposition laissent entrevoir une adéquation transférentielle à la folie de l'Autre.

Réédité l'an dernier dans la prestigieuse collection du Nénuphar, les Convergences demeurent encore aujourd'hui un témoignage essentiel sur la Révolution tranquille et la période qui la prépare. Par-delà son incontestable valeur documentaire, en quoi sa relecture peut-elle encore nous intéresser aujourd'hui? C'est à cette question actuelle que l'article tente de répondre.
Pour une relecture des Légendes canadiennes de Casgrain
Authors: Lord Michel 
Published: July 2012

Résumé
Pendant près d'un siècle, l'institution littéraire a tenu en haute estime les Légendes canadiennes (1860-1861) de Henri-Raymond Casgrain. Mais autour des années 1960, commence à diminuer la fortune de ces textes, qui se voulaient fondateurs de la littérature canadienne par le truchement de la récupération des vieilles histoires que le peuple se racontait. Après une revue de la réception critique des Légendes canadiennes, Michel Lord propose une relecture des trois textes de Casgrain. Il met l'accent sur les stratégies discursives très personnelles mises en oeuvre par Casgrain dans la construction des « légendes », des figures du Canadien et de l'Indien, et dans l'organisation de la croyance au surnaturel. L'article a pour but de montrer que, sous le couvert d'une forme simple (la légende), Casgrain manipule savamment le discours narratif, sans pour autant qu'il en résulte un effet de richesse dialogique, mais plutôt une forme de monologisme conforme à l'idéologie unificatrice (ultramontaine) de l'époque, dont Casgrain se fait le défenseur acharné. Les Légendes canadiennes de Casgrain apparaissent ainsi moins comme le résultat d'une entreprise vouée à la sauvegarde des vieilles légendes, que comme une illustration du modèle exemplaire de ce que devait alors être la littérature canadienne.
Les pèlerinages de Henri-Raymond Casgrain : de la référentialité à l’intertextualité
Authors: Rajotte Pierre 
Published: July 2012

Résumé
La tension dialectique entre l'espace du réfèrent, en tant que réalité, et l'espace de sa construction discursive constitue sans doute la plus grande difficulté que pose l'écriture du récit de voyage. Face à cette difficulté, Henri-Raymond Casgrain recourt à diverses stratégies de substitution intertextuelle par lesquelles il rend l'espace lisible. Ses écrits de voyage prennent alors la forme de voyages dans le temps ou encore celle de voyages dans les livres. L'expérience du voyage se transforme en pèlerinage culturel, ce qui atténue l'effet d'infraction occasionné par le passage de la référentialité à l'intertextualité.
Le rythme dans la poésie d’Albert Lozeau. Contribution à l’étude du vers régulier symboliste
Authors: Lemaire Michel 
Published: July 2012

Résumé
Cet article étudie l'oeuvre du poète québécois Albert Lozeau (1878-1924) en la situant dans le cadre de l'évolution de la versification française du romantisme au symbolisme. Héritier des recherches du symbolisme français visant une libération du vers régulier, Lozeau a développé une technique du vers marquée par l'utilisation de trimètres variés et par un emploi complexe des enjambements sur la césure. Il a ainsi créé un vers musical remarquable par sa fluidité, son expressivité et sa douceur murmurée.
L’histoire dans les romans de Laure Conan. Lecture sémiotique de l’idéologie de la langue gardienne de la foi
Authors: Roy Fernand 
Published: July 2012

À l'encontre de la thèse de l'influence abusive de l'abbé Henri-Raymond Casgrain sur Laure Conan, il s'avère que l'instance d'énonciation d'Angéline de Montbrun pratiquait déjà spontanément une écriture orientée vers la valorisation de l'histoire. En se fondant sur une analyse sémiotique de la narration et de renonciation des romans historiques de la première romancière du Québec, le présent article propose l'hypothèse suivante : un roman argumente en vue de l'attribution (par le lecteur) d'une valeur ajoutée au fait de raconter (par écrit). La stratégie enonciative consiste à appeler la valorisation de l'histoire — liée à l'écriture — au moyen de la mise en oeuvre d'une interaction verbale fictive. L'article en arrive à la conclusion que si, comme le prétend l'idéologie libérale depuis I960, ces romans historiques relèvent de notre préhistoire, c'est parce qu'ils faisaient une équation d'identité entre littérarité et historicité. De la littérature comme constitution du « patrimoine sacré de la langue française » à celle qui se fait moderne en faisant le pari d'un « pays à inventer » d'abord dans les mots, il y aurait simplement prise de conscience de ce que l'histoire est à faire — et affaire d'écriture. Rien ne servirait d'essayer, en retour, d'établir une équation d'identité entre historicité et littérarité.
Ici comme ailleurs : le territoire de la traduction dans Les reines de Normand Chaurette
Authors: Huffman Shawn 
Published: July 2012

À partir de son projet de traduire Richard III de Shakespeare, projet qui n'a pas abouti, Normand Chaurette utilise les personnages féminins du dramaturge anglais pour écrire une nouvelle pièce de théâtre, soit Les reines. L'emploi de la traduction comme processus créateur relativisant le paradigme identitaire classique du Même et de l'Autre radicalise les concepts d'origine et d'appartenance territoriale et langagière pour souligner un exil féminin ressenti comme étant intérieur à l'espace et à la langue. Le « rapatriement » des personnages chaurettiens à la langue et au territoire anglais par Linda Gaboriau dans sa traduction, The Queens, permet de vérifier le bien-fondé de cette hypothèse. Traduction d'une pièce originale née elle-même d'une traduction, la version en langue anglaise réinvente les altérités élaborées dans le texte du dramaturge québécois.
Piezotronics and Piezo‐Phototronics
Authors: Wang Zhong Lin 
Published: July 2012

Abstract

Most of the current electronics are operated by an externally applied voltage, which tunes the charge transport inside the device. Here, we introduce a new concept that uses the generated potential in a crystal to control the charge transport in the device, which is a new principle for fabricating new electronics that are controlled by externally applied strain/stress. As a result of the polarization of ions in a crystal that has noncentral symmetry in materials such as the wurtzite‐structured ZnO, GaN, and InN, a piezoelectric potential
(piezopotential)
is created in the crystal by applying a stress. Because of the simultaneous possession of piezoelectricity and semiconductor properties, the piezopotential created in the crystal has a strong effect on the carrier transport at the interface/junction.
Piezotronics
is about the devices fabricated using the piezopotential as a “gate” voltage to tube/control charge carrier transport at a contact or junction. The
piezo‐phototronic effect
is about using the piezopotential to control the carrier generation, transport, separation, and/or recombination to improve the performance of optoelectronic devices, such as the photon detector, solar cell, and light‐emitting diode (LED) devices. The objective of this review article is to introduce the fundamentals of piezotronics and piezo‐phototronics. A perspective is given about their potential applications in sensors, human–silicon technology interfacing, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), nanorobotics, and energy sciences.
Mold Fabrications
Authors: Morena John J. 
Published: July 2012

Abstract
The production of advanced composite molds is composed by different steps: mold design, mold engineering, materials choice, preparation of master models, and molds and production of mold accessories, fittings, support tools, and fixtures. These steps are presented in this article. In particular, as regards the step of mold engineering, techniques for recording designs such as CAD and CAM are presented.
In conclusion to this article, a discussion on quality control and the inspection of advanced composite molds and tools is reported; these important aspects, which are usually considered at the end of materials and process manufacturing, should also be considered at the very beginning of a structural and conceptual engineering design, even before the mold and tool design process is chosen.
Short‐Fiber‐Reinforced Polymeric Composites: Structure–Property Relations
Authors: Wetherhold Robert C. 
Published: July 2012

Abstract
Short‐fiber‐reinforced polymeric composites are an extremely useful class of heterogeneous materials that can be produced from a wide variety of materials and using a wide variety of manufacturing processes. The local inhomogeneity and variability of the material produces difficulties in the prediction of effective composite properties and in the prediction of the sensitivity of those properties to variations in the constituent volume fractions, properties, and morphology. To avoid costly testing programs, models have been developed which enable efficient composite property prediction. In this article, the description of fiber orientation and its prediction and measurement is summarized. A summary is given for three major methods of composite property prediction: the laminate analogy employing the Halpin‐Tsai empirical model, the prediction of unidirectional fiber properties using an inclusion method followed by an orientation averaging procedure, and numerical solutions using the finite element method. A brief discussion is given of the effect of fiber length distribution, the “skin‐core” effect, and three‐phase systems such as those found in typical automotive applications. Most of the emphasis of this article is placed on the prediction of thermomechanical properties, although a short summary of strength properties via the use of fiber efficiency factors is included.
Peak Oil and Transition Towns
Authors: Hopkins Rob 
Published: July 2012

AbstractIf economic growth is only possible with the availability of cheap energy, what happens as production of oil peaks, and petroleum extraction declines? Rob Hopkins, an activist behind the Transition movement, argues for a new bottom‐up approach to economic development that is also more localised and nourishing. Shifting the emphasis from sustainability towards resilience, he seeks a rethinking of the way local communities feed, house and power themselves.
Water‐soluble chitosan intercalated montmorillonite nanocomposites for removal of basic blue 66 and basic yellow 1 from aqueous solution

Published: July 2012

AbstractWater‐soluble chitosan intercalated montmorillonite (wCTS/MMT) nanocomposites were modified and characterized by using Fourier transform infrared, thermogravimetric analysis, and X‐ray diffractometer techniques. Two types of wCTS, namely, low molecular‐weight chitosan (L‐wCTS) and hydroxyethylacryl chitosan (H‐wCTS) were synthesized and applied. The batch adsorption experiments on these nanocomposites were conducted by using basic dyes, that is, Basic Blue 66 and Basic Yellow 1 (BY1). The adsorption capacities of sodium montmorillonite (Na‐MMT), chitosan, L‐wCTS/MMT, and H‐wCTS/MMT were measured and compared. The results showed that the adsorption capacities of wCTS/MMT nanocomposites were higher than those values of Na‐MMT and chitosan. The adsorption kinetics of wCTS/MMT nanocomposites for BY1 were studied. It was described that the adsorption processes were better fitted by pseudo‐second‐order equation. The Langmuir and the Freundlich models were used to fit the adsorption isotherm. It was indicated that the adsorption isotherms followed the Langmuir model. The values of the maximum adsorption capacity of L‐wCTS/MMT and H‐wCTS/MMT adsorbents were at 188.7 and 294.1 mg/g, respectively. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci., 2013
Temperature dependence of the mechanical properties and the inner structures of natural rubber reinforced by in situ polymerization of zinc dimethacrylate
Authors: Xu Chuanhui , Chen Yukun , Wang Yanpeng , Zeng Xingrong 
Published: July 2012

AbstractIn this work, the tensile property of natural rubber (NR) reinforced by zinc dimethacrylate (ZDMA) at various temperatures was studied. The results showed that the strain‐induced crystallization of NR chains at larger elongation and the ionic crosslinks are two of the main reasons for the high tensile strengths of the NR/ZDMA composites, and they afforded the apparent tensile strength at different temperature range. Strain–stress curves revealed that the composites could not undergo strain‐induced crystallization above 80°C. The results of Rubber Process Analyzer 2000 (RPA2000) confirmed that the effective ionic crosslinks were weakened and destroyed by high temperatures. The crosslink density, determined by an equilibrium swelling method, was used to characterize the structure variation during stretching at different temperatures. At last, the results of thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) indicated that the ionic crosslinks improved the thermal stability of the NR/ZDMA composites to some extent. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermal behavior and dielectric property analysis of boron nitride‐filled bismaleimide‐triazine resin composites
Authors: Zeng Xiaoliang , Yu Shuhui , Sun Rong 
Published: July 2012

AbstractBismaleimide‐triazine (BT) resin/hexagonal boron nitride (h‐BN) composites are prepared, and the effects of h‐BN content on the thermal and dielectric properties are studied in the view of structure–property relationship. It is found that the introduction of the BN in the BT resin dramatically improve the thermal conductivity of BT resin. The thermal conductivity of the composites is up to 1.11 W/m.K, with an h‐BN concentration of 50 wt %, which is increased by six times compared with the pure BT resin. The BT resin/h‐BN composites also exhibit excellent thermal properties, with the glass transition temperatures above 200°C, and thermal decomposition temperatures over 390°C. Moreover, the composites possess good dielectric properties. Their dielectric constant and loss tangent (tan δ) are less than 4.5 and 0.015, respectively. The results indicate that the BT resin/h‐BN composites are promising as efficient heat‐releasing materials in the high‐density electronic packaging technology. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.

AbstractThe pancreatic islets of Langerhans are highly vascularized structures scattered throughout the pancreas that contain a capillary network 5–10 times denser than that of the exocrine pancreas. A simple method for three‐dimensional (3D) analysis of this intricate intraislet vasculature has been difficult because of the intrinsic opacity of the pancreas. We developed a whole‐mount imaging technique that allows relatively easy visualization of the islet vasculature. In combination with confocal microscopy and the use of 3D imaging software, we were able to readily reconstruct the 3D architecture of an islet, allowing delineation of the islet volume, length of the intraislet vessels, and the number of vessel branch‐points. This technique allows for straightforward 3D image analysis that may help toward understanding islet function. Anat Rec, 2012. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Abatacept for lupus nephritis: Alternative definitions of complete response support conflicting conclusions
Authors: Wofsy David , Hillson Jan L. , Diamond Betty 
Published: July 2012

AbstractObjectiveRecent clinical trials in lupus nephritis have all used different criteria to assess complete response. The objective of this analysis was to compare several previously proposed criteria, using the same data set from a large trial of abatacept in lupus nephritis (IM101075). In so doing, we sought to determine which criteria are most sensitive to differences among treatment groups and to further examine the potential of abatacept in lupus nephritis.MethodsPatients in the IM101075 trial received abatacept at 1 of 2 different dose regimens or placebo, both on a background of mycophenolate mofetil and corticosteroids. Using data from this trial, we assessed rates of complete response at 12 months according to 5 sets of criteria, from 1) the trial protocol, 2) the Aspreva Lupus Management Study (ALMS) trial of mycophenolate mofetil, 3) the Lupus Nephritis Assessment with Rituximab (LUNAR) trial of rituximab, 4) an ongoing National Institutes of Health trial of abatacept (Abatacept and Cyclophosphamide Combination: Efficacy and Safety Study [ACCESS]), and 5) published recommendations of the American College of Rheumatology.ResultsAccording to the complete response definition from the IM101075 study protocol, there was no difference among treatment groups in the IM101075 study. In contrast, according to the ALMS, LUNAR, and ACCESS criteria, rates of complete response among patients in the IM101075 study were higher in both treatment groups relative to control. The largest differences were obtained with use of the LUNAR criteria (complete response rate of 6% in the control group, compared to 22% and 24% in the 2 abatacept groups).ConclusionThe choice of definition of complete response can determine whether a lupus nephritis trial is interpreted as a success or a failure. The results of this analysis provide an evidence‐based rationale for choosing among alternative definitions and offer a strong rationale for conducting further studies of abatacept in lupus nephritis.

AbstractObjectiveIt is generally believed that muscle weakness in patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis is due to autoimmune and inflammatory processes. However, it has been observed that there is a poor correlation between the suppression of inflammation and a recovery of muscle function in these patients. This study was undertaken to examine whether nonimmune mechanisms also contribute to muscle weakness. In particular, it has been suggested that an acquired deficiency of AMP deaminase 1 (AMPD1) may be responsible for muscle weakness in myositis.MethodsWe performed comprehensive functional, behavioral, histologic, molecular, enzymatic, and metabolic assessments before and after the onset of inflammation in a class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC)–transgenic mouse model of autoimmune inflammatory myositis.ResultsMuscle weakness and metabolic disturbances were detectable in the mice prior to the appearance of infiltrating mononuclear cells. Force contraction analysis of muscle function revealed that weakness was correlated with AMPD1 expression and was myositis specific. Decreasing AMPD1 expression resulted in decreased muscle strength in healthy mice. Fiber typing suggested that fast‐twitch muscles were converted to slow‐twitch muscles as myositis progressed, and microarray results indicated that AMPD1 and other purine nucleotide pathway genes were suppressed, along with genes essential to glycolysis.ConclusionThese data suggest that an AMPD1 deficiency is acquired prior to overt muscle inflammation and is responsible, at least in part, for the muscle weakness that occurs in the mouse model of myositis. AMPD1 is therefore a potential therapeutic target in myositis.
The Effect of Temporal Distance on Attitudes toward Imprecise Probabilities and Imprecise Outcomes
Authors: Onay Selcuk , La‐ornual Dolchai , Öncüler Ayse 
Published: July 2012

ABSTRACTMany personal, managerial, and societal decisions involve uncertain or ambiguous consequences that will occur in the future. Yet, previous empirical research on ambiguity preferences has focused mainly on decisions with immediate outcomes. To close this gap in the literature, this paper examines ambiguity attitudes toward future prospects, particularly how they may differ from the attitudes toward comparable prospects in the present. On the basis of a recent paradigm, we first distinguish between two types of ambiguity: imprecise probabilities and imprecise outcomes. Then, in accordance with construal level theory, which shows that temporal distance increases the relative importance of outcomes over probabilities in evaluating prospects, we conjecture that temporal distance would moderate attitudes toward imprecise probabilities but amplify attitudes toward imprecise outcomes. Through a series of experiments, we demonstrate that when the prospects are in the future, individuals are less averse toward imprecise probabilities and more seeking toward imprecise outcomes. However, the effect is most prominent for prospects where both the probability and outcome dimensions are concurrently imprecise. The paper ends with a discussion on how dimension salience may have contributed to this result. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Histone acetyltransferases: Rising ancient counterparts to protein kinases
Authors: Yuan Hua , Marmorstein Ronen 
Published: July 2012

AbstractProtein kinases catalyze phosphorylation, a posttranslational modification widely utilized in cell signaling. Histone acetyltransferases (HATs) catalyze a counterpart posttranslational modification of acetylation which marks histones for epigenetic signaling but in some cases modifies non‐histone proteins to mediate other cellular activities. In addition, recent proteomic studies have revealed that thousands of proteins are acetylated throughout the cell to regulate diverse biological processes, thus placing acetyltransferases on the same playing field as kinases. Emerging biochemical and structural data further supports mechanistic and biological links between the two enzyme families. In this article, we will review what is known to date about the structure, catalysis and mode of regulation of HAT enzymes and draw analogies, where relevant, to protein kinases. This comparison reveals that HATs may be rising ancient counterparts to protein kinases. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Biopolymers 99: 98–111, 2013.
