Recherches sur les nécropoles occidentales de Cherchel (Caesarea Mauretaniae). 1880-1961
Authors: Leveau Philippe 
Published: July 2011

A la suite du départ des Français d'Algérie, des fouilles de sauvetage effectuées sur la nécropole occidentale de Cherchel étaient restées inédites. L'auteur, qui en 1967 a repris et publié une fouille effectuée sur cette nécropole, a cru utile de publier ce qui à ce moment subsistait du matériel et de la documentation réunie. Afin de préciser l'histoire de cette nécropole, il a mis ces données en rapport avec quelques documents inédits et quelques renseignements consignés dans des publications épigraphiques du XIXe siècle ou de l'Entre-deux-guerres. Cela permet de présenter une documentation intéressant la typologie des monuments funéraires (en particulier une variante locale de la cupule funéraire en blocage), la connaissance du matériel céramique et numismatique ou encore l'épigraphie funéraire. Au-delà, l'examen du plan d'ensemble des sondages montre qu'il n'y avait pas une seule nécropole mais des nécropoles avec des zones où prédominaient les areae (entre les sondages I et II, dans le sondage IV et dans la nécropole Hanafi), un secteur caractérisé par les cupules à niches et les stèles et une localisation des mausolées à gradins et socles pleins le long de l'emplacement probable de la voie romaine. A côté des nécropoles, certains espaces étaient consacrés à des activités artisanales.
Ces nécropoles ont été utilisées du Ier siècle ap. J.-C. à la fin de l'Antiquité. La plus intéressante paraît avoir été la nécropole Hanafi au nord de la route nationale : non seulement elle a livré un matériel remontant au Ier siècle ap. J.-C. et donnant l'impression que les premières tombes ont pu être placées sous la protection d'un sanctuaire de Saturne, mais elle était encore un lieu d'inhumation à l'époque tardive et un plan montre l'existence d'ensembles organisés de caveaux maçonnés analogues à ceux des nécropoles de Tipasa.
Le statut d'Avignon d'après un prétendu faux épigraphique de la cité d'Apt (Vaucluse)
Authors: Gascou Jacques 
Published: July 2011

In a recent article published in ZPE, 71, 1988, p. 229-249, Mr. Zarnht tried to demonstrate that the Apt epitaph CIL, XII, 1 120, mentioning a duovir of the colonia Iulia Hadriana Auenniensis was not authentic led to reconsider this document. None of the arguments emphasized by Mr. Zarnht is conclusive; besides, the use of the abbreviated form of the gens Volus. and Vol. for Volusius is attested. The use of the conjunction et to link the different duties performed by the men in office is not exceptional. The duty of sacerdos urbis Romae aeternae is found in several towns. The epithet Hadriana alone (without Aelia) to indicate a colonial promotion due to emperor Hadrian, appears on coins from Parion in Asia and Parlais in Galatia.
Therefore, the Apt epitaph must be credited with its whole value. A first century inscription recently discovered in Aries, and mentioning the colonia Iulia Augusta Auennio, shows that before being promoted by Hadrian, Avignon was an Augustian colony. Since quattuovirs are attested in Avignon at that time, it can be infered that this city was made a Latin colony by Augustus and was later transformed into a Roman colony ruled by duovirs by Hadrian. In the case of the Apt epitaph, the epithet Iulia is the abbreviated form of Iulia Augusta: the same abbreviation is attested in the Aquae Sextiae titulus.

Authors: Bohn Kathrin , Zell Roland , Schacke Michael , Wutzler Peter , Sauerbrei Andreas 
Published: July 2011

Background The thymidine kinase (TK) and DNA polymerase (pol) genes of herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) and type-2 (HSV-2) are important targets for genotypic determination of HSV resistance to antiviral drugs. The knowledge of gene polymorphism is an absolute requirement for the correct interpretation of genotypic findings. Methods In this study, the natural polymorphism of TK and DNA pol genes was examined by DNA sequencing in 56 HSV-1 and 12 HSV-2 strains sensitive to acyclovir. Results In 56 HSV-1 strains, 26 different non- synonymous polymorphism-associated mutations were detected in the TK gene. To our knowledge, 8 of them have never been reported in the literature. In the TK gene of 12 HSV-2 strains, 6 polymorphism-related non-synonymous mutations were observed, whereas there was 1 novel mutation in 1 strain. The DNA pol gene of 53 HSV-1 isolates contained 47 distinct polymorphism-associated amino acid substitutions and 11 substitutions were found in the DNA pol gene of 12 HSV-2 strains. Altogether, 31 novel substitutions could be identified in the DNA pol gene of HSV-1 and 3 in HSV-2 strains. In these strains, any resistance to foscarnet was excluded. Conclusions The 43 novel non-synonymous mutations enrich the knowledge about the natural genetic polymorphism of TK and DNA pol in clinical HSV strains. The findings have to be considered for genotypic analysis of HSV in case of clinical resistance.

Published: July 2011

The implantation of antibiotic-loaded cement spacers is established in the treatment of late hip joint infections, and the McPherson staging system has been widely used in this context. The aim of our study was to evaluate the relationship between the McPherson classification and complications at the site of hip spacer implantation. 60 patients were retrospectively identified who fulfilled our inclusion criteria. Using the McPherson classification, 12 patients were categorised as IIIA1, 4 as IIIA2, 19 as IIIB1, 7 as IIIB2, 12 as IIIC1, and 6 as IIIC2. Complications recorded were infection-associated, mechanical, systemic, general, and mortality. Statistical analysis was performed by means of the Mantel-Haenszel and the exact Fisher tests. In relation to complications with respect to the systemic host grade, the Mantel-Haenszel test revealed significant differences regarding only the emergence of a draining sinus. In relation to complications with respect to the local extremity grade, the exact Fisher test revealed significant differences regarding only the emergence of wound healing complications. All other complications showed no significant differences. The McPherson classification, in association with an increasing number of comorbidities, indicates a higher risk of occurrence of a postoperative draining sinus, whereas the grade of compromised local tissues is associated with wound healing complications. Improvement of the general medical condition of patients between stages as well as an anatomical dissection and closure of the wound may lead to a decreased incidence of these complications.

Published: July 2011

Objective To compare the success rates and complications of ultrasound and low-power Holmium laser-assisted ureteroscopy (URS) in managing middle-distal ureteral stones. Materials and Methods We retrospectively analyzed the records of 90 patients with middle-distal ureteral stones who underwent ureteroscopic lithotripsy at our institution from May 2006 to April 2010. 45 patients were treated with ultrasound (mean size 6.7 mm), 45 patients with low-power Holmium laser (mean size 7.4 mm). The same ureteroscope (9.5/8ch rigid-Storz) was used to treat all the patients. Patients were monitored before the hospital discharge with abdominal radiograph and ultrasonography, and as outpatients after 3 months with abdominal radiograph, ultrasonography and urography in selected cases. Results We obtained a complete immediate fragmentation of stones in 27/45 (60%) patients with ultrasound, and in 36/45 (80%) patients after laser treatment. A proximal migration of stones was observed in 12/45 (26.8%) patients with ultrasound and 3/45 (6.6) with laser. We observed a ureteral perforation after laser treatment and no patient developed urosepsis. 6/45 (13.3%) patients who were treated with ultrasound underwent auxiliary therapy such as alkalizing therapy, 9/45 (20%) patients a second ureteroscopy, 9/45 (20%) a shockwave lithotripsy. No patient underwent an auxiliary shockwave treatment after laser, 6/45 (13.4%) patients underwent a second ureteroscopy. Operating time (20.33 vs 28.85 minutes) and hospitalization (3.6 vs 5.1 days) were shorter with laser if compared with ultrasound treatment. Conclusion In our study the fragmentation rates of Holmium laser-assisted ureteroscopy were significantly better than with ultrasound in the middle-distal ureteral stones management. We did not have relevant complications using both procedures, and the need for auxiliary procedures was significantly less for Holmium laser-assisted ureteroscopy when compared with ultrasound.
Enhancing sentence‐level clustering with integrated and interactive frameworks for theme‐based summarization
Authors: Cai Xiaoyan , Li Wenjie 
Published: July 2011

AbstractSentence clustering plays a pivotal role in theme‐based summarization, which discovers topic themes defined as the clusters of highly related sentences to avoid redundancy and cover more diverse information. As the length of sentences is short and the content it contains is limited, the bag‐of‐words cosine similarity traditionally used for document clustering is no longer suitable. Special treatment for measuring sentence similarity is necessary. In this article, we study the sentence‐level clustering problem. After exploiting concept‐ and context‐enriched sentence vector representations, we develop two co‐clustering frameworks to enhance sentence‐level clustering for theme‐based summarization—integrated clustering and interactive clustering—both allowing word and document to play an explicit role in sentence clustering as independent text objects rather than using word or concept as features of a sentence in a document set. In each framework, we experiment with two‐level co‐clustering (i.e., sentence‐word co‐clustering or sentence‐document co‐clustering) and three‐level co‐clustering (i.e., document‐sentence‐word co‐clustering). Compared against concept‐ and context‐oriented sentence‐representation reformation, co‐clustering shows a clear advantage in both intrinsic clustering quality evaluation and extrinsic summarization evaluation conducted on the Document Understanding Conferences (DUC) datasets.

Published: July 2011

AbstractSolubility of carbon dioxide in a mixture of polyethylene glycol dimethyl ethers (Genosorb 1753) was determined at 298.15, 313.15, 323.15 and 333.15 K at pressures up to 7940 kPa. The obtained solubility data are compared with those of CO2 in other physical solvents. The results were correlated with the Peng–Robinson (Peng and Robinson, Ind. Eng. Chem. Fundam. 15, 59–64 1976) equation of state, and the interaction parameters are reported. Data at 323.15 K were predicted. Henry's Law constants were obtained from the data and the excess properties (excess Gibbs free energy, excess entropy and excess enthalpy) of the liquid mixture over the full range of composition were predicted at each temperature using the NRTL activity coefficient model. Enthalpy of solution and the enthalpy of mixing were determined at infinite dilution. In addition, the heats of absorption were determined using Clausius–Clapeyron equation.La solubilité du dioxyde de carbone (CO2) dans un mélange de polyéthylène glycol diméthyl éthers (Genosorb 1753) a été déterminée à 298.15, 313.15, 323.15 et 333.15 K à des pressions allant jusqu'à 7940 kPa.

Combustion and air emissions from co‐firing a wood biomass, a Canadian peat and a Canadian lignite coal in a bubbling fluidised bed combustor

Published: July 2011

AbstractThe effects of particle size, fuel blending ratio, moisture content and excess air ratio on combustion efficiency and air emissions (CO2, CO, SO2 and NOx) from the co‐combustion of white pine or peat with a Canadian lignite coal, were examined in a pilot‐scale bubbling fluidised bed combustor. Pelletising was important for the efficient combustion of wood due to its high volatile content. Co‐firing lignite and pine pellets gave a proportional reduction in SO2 and NOx emissions with blending ratio, while co‐firing of peat and lignite resulted in increased SO2 emissions, but decreased NOx emissions. Moisture promotes combustion but with increased CO emissions, and results in increased NOx emissions, and decreased SO2 emissions. High excess air decreased CO, but moderately increased SO2 and NOx emissions. © 2011 Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering

Published: July 2011

Background: Chronic diseases are common among intensive care unit (ICU) patients and may worsen their prognosis. We examined the prevalence and impact of pre‐admission/index morbidity among ICU patients compared with a general population cohort.
Methods: Our study encompassed all 28,172 adult patients admitted to ICUs in northern Denmark in 2005–2007 and 281,671 age‐ and sex‐matched individuals from the general population. We used a nationwide hospital registry to obtain a 5‐year history of 19 chronic diseases and computed Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) for each study participant and grouped them into low (CCI=0), moderate (CCI=1–2), and high (CCI=3+) morbidity levels. We computed mortality and mortality rate ratios (MRRs) adjusted for confounders, and compared the mortality between ICU patients and the general population cohort.
Results: Low, moderate, and high pre‐admission morbidity levels were present in 51.5%, 34.1%, and 14.4% of ICU patients, respectively. In these groups, 30‐day mortality was 10.8%, 18.4%, and 26.7%, respectively. Three‐year mortality was 21.3%, 43.1%, and 63.2%, respectively. The adjusted 30‐day MRR was 1.30 [95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.21–1.39] and 1.86 (95% CI: 1.71–2.01) for ICU patients with moderate and high morbidity levels, both compared with a low morbidity level. The general population had a lower morbidity level and mortality at all morbidity levels throughout the study period. Interaction between ICU admission and high morbidity level added 5.1% to the mortality during the second and third year of follow‐up.
Conclusion: A high pre‐admission morbidity level was frequent among ICU patients and associated with a worsened prognosis. Morbidity had more impact on mortality among ICU patients compared with a general population cohort.

Abstract

Background

sabR is a pleiotropic regulatory gene which has been shown to positively regulate the nikkomycin biosynthesis and negatively affect the sporulation of Streptomyces ansochromogenes. In this study, we investigate the mechanism of SabR on modulating nikkomycin production in Streptomyces ansochromogenes.

Results
The transcription start point of sabR was determined by high-resolution S1 nuclease mapping and localized at the nucleotide T at position 37 bp upstream of the potential sabR translation start codon (GTG). Disruption of sabR enhanced its own transcription, but retarded the nikkomycin production. Over-expression of sabR enhanced nikkomycin biosynthesis in Streptomyces ansochromogenes. EMSA analysis showed that SabR bound to the upstream region of sanG, but it did not bind to the upstream region of its encoding gene (sabR), sanF and the intergenic region between sanN and sanO. DNase 1 footprinting assays showed that the SabR-binding site upstream of sanG was 5'-CTTTAAGTCACCTGGCTCATTCGCGTTCGCCCAGCT-3' which was designated as SARE. Deletion of SARE resulted in the delay of nikkomycin production that was similar to that of sabR disruption mutant.

Conclusions
These results indicated that SabR modulated nikkomycin biosynthesis as an enhancer via interaction with the promoter region of sanG, and expanded our understanding about regulatory cascade in nikkomycin biosynthesis.

Burnout among Judo Coaches in Turkey: Selcuk Ge n c ay, et al. Department of Physical Education and Sport Teaching, School of Physical Education and Sport, Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University, Turkey—ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of professional burnout experienced by Turkish judo coaches and to compare possible differences in the three burnout dimensions based on coaching experience in years and satisfaction status of their sport administrators.MethodsThe data were obtained by using a threesection questionnaire including a socio demographic data form and the Turkish version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory from 65 judo coaches working in the Turkish Judo and Kurash Federation.ResultsIn the analysis of data, descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and one‐way ANOVA tests were used. This study showed that judo coaches have medium level burnout experience. The results also showed that there were significant differences in the emotional exhaustion levels of judo coaches based on coaching experience in years and satisfaction status from their sport administrators.ConclusionsBurnout appears to be a problematic issue for judo coaches. When coaches begin to feel emotionally depleted, they distance themselves from athletes, and experience a reduced sense of meaning about their work; it is likely to affect the quality of the athletic experience for both the coach and the athletes.

The being, the distribution and the diffusion area of cutter's workshops in Africa Proconsularis are very little known.
Here are examined two decorative motives often carved in marble. The analysis of their variations and diffusion through the province of Africa points to the being of workshops or, at least, of sculptor shifts using their own catalogue ; it seams to depend upon the political, social and administrative personality of the financers.
Alkylation Effects on the Energy Transfer of Highly Vibrationally Excited Naphthalene
Authors: Hsu Hsu Chen , Tsai Ming‐Tsang , Dyakov Yuri A. , Ni Chi‐Kung 
Published: July 2011

AbstractThe energy transfer of highly vibrationally excited isomers of dimethylnaphthalene and 2‐ethylnaphthalene in collisions with krypton were investigated using crossed molecular beam/time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer/time‐sliced velocity map ion imaging techniques at a collision energy of approximately 300 cm−1. Angular‐resolved energy‐transfer distribution functions were obtained directly from the images of inelastic scattering. The results show that alkyl‐substituted naphthalenes transfer more vibrational energy to translational energy than unsubstituted naphthalene. Alkylation enhances the V→T energy transfer in the range −ΔEd=−100∼−1500 cm−1 by approximately a factor of 2. However, the maximum values of V→T energy transfer for alkyl‐substituted naphthalenes are about 1500∼2000 cm−1, which is similar to that of naphthalene. The lack of rotation‐like wide‐angle motion of the aromatic ring and no enhancement in very large V→T energy transfer, like supercollisions, indicates that very large V→T energy transfer requires special vibrational motions. This transfer cannot be achieved by the low‐frequency vibrational motions of alkyl groups.
Self‐Assembly of Nanosized 0D Clusters: CdS Quantum Dot–Polyoxotungstate Nanohybrids with Strongly Coupled Electronic Structures and Visible‐Light‐Active Photofunctions

Published: July 2011

AbstractNanohybrids of CdS–polyoxotungstate with strongly coupled electronic structures and visible‐light‐active photofunctions can be synthesized by electrostatically derived self‐assembly of very small CdS quantum dots, or QDs, (particle size≈2.5 nm) and polyoxotungstate nanoclusters (cluster size≈1 nm). The formation of CdS–polyoxotungstate nanohybrids is confirmed by high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy, elemental mapping, and powder X‐ray diffraction analysis. Due to the strong electronic coupling between two semiconductors, the CdS–polyoxotungstate nanohybrids show a narrow bandgap energy of around 1.9–2.7 eV, thus reflecting their ability to harvest visible light. Time‐resolved photoluminescence experiments indicate that the self‐assembly between nanosized CdS and polyoxotungstate is very effective in increasing the lifetime of holes and electrons, thus indicating an efficient electron transfer between two‐component semiconductors. The hybridization results not only in a significant improvement in the photostability of CdS QD but also in the creation of visible‐light‐induced photochromism. Of particular importance is that the present nanohybrids show visible‐light‐driven photocatalytic activity to produce H2 and O2, which is superior to those of the unhybridized CdS and polyoxotungstate. The self‐assembly of nanometer‐level semiconductor clusters can provide a powerful way of optimizing the photoinduced functionalities of each component (i.e., visible‐induced photochromism and photocatalysis) by means of strong electronic coupling.
