Démonstratifs insolents. De quelques emplois du démonstratif dans le texte célinien
Authors: Bénard Jean 
Published: November 2007

Johanne Benard : Some specific uses of demonstratives in Céline's texts.
This article studies three different uses of the demonstrative in two novels by Louis-Ferdinand Céline. It argues that, in the three cases, the demonstrative cannot be reduced to its usual anaphoric and deictic values. First, I demonstrate that in the context of what one critic has described as a "deixis imitative" (for Guignol's band), the demonstrative has an exclamatory value. Secondly, I analyse the demonstrative with the "nom de qualité » , showing that in a text which is full of insults (like in the war novel Casse-pipe), the demonstrative and the definite are interchangeable. Thirdly, I examine the demonstrative in an excerpt written in the « style indirect libre », where it signals a double enunciation.
Réflexions sur la partition : les groupes nominaux partitifs et la relativisation
Authors: Kupferman Lucien

Lucien Kupferman: Partitive nominal phrases and relativization
It is proposed that the head of a partitive nominal phrase is a functional one, the word de, and that quantifying expressions are specifiers of QPs. It is also contended that so-called partitive complements are labelled as DPs, where N is the lexical head of the whole expression.
L'hypothèse de l'histoire et la sous-détermination grammaticale
Authors: Auroux Sylvain 
Published: November 2007

Sylvain Auroux : The Historical Hypothesis and the Grammatical Under-Determination of Language
Sylvain Auroux's work is an attempt at establishing the epistemologie al foundations of a scientific perspective integrating history as major data in the field of language sciences. Through a critical reading of the formalist reduction of linguistic creativity to linguistic recursivity, this article shows how empirical language belongs to history, and how linguistic interactions are only partly determined by grammar.
Russie/URSS : le discours national russe comme mémoire et refus
Authors: Paillard Denis 
Published: November 2007

Denis Paillard : Russia/SSSR : the Russian National Discourse as Memory and Rejection
Denis Paillard's contribution examines the latest aspects of the new political culture born in Russia after the collapse of communism. It shows that in the years 1986-1992 a « new » discourse on memory has appeared which is a hybrid product of the Russian traditional national discourse and of the remnants of Stalinist discourse. The text unveils the common logic that these two discourses share, discovering deep cultural continuities through the recent political upheavals.
« La traduction automatique : son utilisation par le "grand public" »
Authors: Loffler-Laurian Anne-Marie 
Published: November 2007

Anne-Marie Loffler-Laurian : « Machine translation : its use by the public at large »
The SYSTRAN machine translation system, which is widely used at the Commission of the European Community and in several large research centers and industrial firms, has been implemented on the French public videotex service, Minitel. We study the output of this system from a linguistic point of view. It clearly emerges that a system based on and aimed at technical translation (including technologies and
administration) cannot be used by the public at large without a great amount of development, if ever. The linguistic features of general speech are different from those of specialized discourses, therefore rules are not easily transferrable and the quality of the results of this machine translation are of a far lower quality than those obtained when it is used in technical environment.
Les enjeux de la manière
Authors: Dessons Gérard 
Published: November 2007

Gérard Dessons : What is at stake in the concept of manner
« Forgotten » by structuralism and the modern science of language, manner has yet been an important concept of literary individuation, like style and, later, ecriture.
Linked with the notions of continuity and globality, this concept relies on semantics, rather than on semiotics, according to the distinction of Emile Benveniste. For this reason, pastiche does'nt properly repeat a specific manner, but rather can approach and caricature it.
What is at stake with the concept of manner is historicisation and desacralisation of the infinite in language.
La forme d'une théorie du langage axée sur les termes supports
Authors: Ibrahim Amr Helmy 
Published: November 2007

Amr Helmy Ibrahim : Outline of a language theory based on support elements
This is a theory which actualizes elements by putting them into a more or less redundant matrix system with no limits drawn between lexicon, syntax and semantics, where the support verbs as metonymie actualizers function both to neutralize and to differenciate.
Stratégies de lecture pour les textes à consigne
Authors: Schmid Sabine , Baccino Thierry 
Published: November 2007

Two experiments on reading of procedural texts are described with the purpose to show the role of organisational /spatial layout (Title, paragraph marks. ..) on encoding strategies during reading. The first experiment used reading times and the second was an eye tracking study. Globally, the results show that the presence of a organisational layout on procedural texts (games rules) induced a hierarchic encoding of text information, it would facilitate the global coherence process needed for information integration. This hierarchic encoding strategy is elaborated at the beginning of reading when the text structure is available (text presented with a layout), reading time are longer on the first sentence. When the structure of the text is not available (justified text), the encoding strategy was rather temporal, text coherence would be established progressively during reading. The results are interpreted according to the Structure Building Framework Model (Gernsbacher, 1988)

Phenomenal characteristics of memories of daily actions in checking‐prone individuals
Authors: Zermatten Ariane , Van der Linden Martial 
Published: November 2007

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate memories of daily actions in checking‐prone participants. A sample of 419 non‐clinical participants completed a questionnaire evaluating Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and a questionnaire evaluating sensory details, emotions, vividness, confidence and memory perspective of seven everyday actions such as ‘brushing one's teeth’. The main results indicated that checking was related to low levels of visual, kinaesthetic and spatial details in memories for actions, more negative emotions and anxiety when performing actions and low confidence in memory quality. In addition, checking‐prone individuals more frequently reported their memories from the perspective of an external observer than non‐checking‐prone individuals. In general, these results seem to indicate that checking is associated with impersonal memories for everyday actions, as well as low confidence in these memories. The role of anxiety is also evoked, as it was significantly related to poor memory characteristics. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Aqueous Lithium‐ion Battery LiTi2(PO4)3/LiMn2O4 with High Power and Energy Densities as well as Superior Cycling Stability**
Authors: Luo J.‐Y. , Xia Y.‐Y. 
Published: November 2007

AbstractPorous, highly crystalline Nasicon‐type phase LiTi2(PO4)3 has been prepared by a novel poly(vinyl alcohol)‐assisted sol–gel route and coated by a uniform and continuous nanometers‐thick carbon thin film using chemical vapor deposition technology. The as‐prepared LiTi2(PO4)3 exhibits excellent electrochemical performance both in organic and aqueous electrolytes, and especially shows good cycling stability in aqueous electrolytes. An aqueous lithium‐ion battery consisting of a combination of LiMn2O4 cathode, LiTi2(PO4)3 anode, and a 1 M Li2SO4 electrolyte has been constructed. The cell delivers a capacity of 40 mA h g–1 and a specific energy of 60 W h kg–1 with an output voltage of 1.5 V based on the total weight of the active electrode materials. It also exhibits an excellent cycling stability with a capacity retention of 82 % over 200 charge/discharge cycles, which is much better than any aqueous lithium‐ion battery reported.
Blends of polyamide 6 with low‐density polyethylene compatibilized with ethylene–methacrylic acid based copolymer ionomers: Effect of neutralizing cations
Authors: Sinthavathavorn Wachiraphon , Nithitanakul Manit , Magaraphan Rathanawan , Grady Brian P. 
Published: November 2007

AbstractBlends of polyamide 6 with low‐density polyethylene compatibilized with sodium‐, zinc‐, and lithium‐neutralized ethylene—methacrylic acid ionomers were investigated at 11, 33, and 55 wt % neutralization of the ionomers. Blends of polyamide 6 with low‐density polyethylene without a compatibilizer had poor properties characteristic of incompatible polymer–polymer blends. After the addition of a compatibilizer, tensile properties improved, the modulus drop associated with melting increased to higher temperatures, and the dispersed phase size decreased. The improvement of the mechanical properties and thermomechanical properties was less with the acid copolymer than with the ionomers. Overall, ionomers neutralized with sodium, zinc, or lithium showed little difference in their compatibilization efficiency. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008

Authors: Rosół Kamila , Szczubiałka Krzysztof , Jachimska Barbara , Zapotoczny Szczepan , Nowakowska Maria 
Published: November 2007

AbstractNovel thermosensitive, cationic polyelectrolyte was obtained by grafting N‐vinylformamide onto hydroxypropylcellulose followed by the hydrolysis of the formamide groups to the amine groups. The effect of the ionic strength on the lower critical solution temperature of the polymers was studied. The interactions of the polymers with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a model anionic surfactant were studied. It was found by the measurements of the light scattering and fluorescence spectroscopy that the graft copolymers obtained strongly interact with SDS with the formation of polymer‐surfactant complexes. The values of critical association concentration (cac) of these polymer‐surfactant systems were found to be of the order of 10−5 mol/dm3 at pH = 6.5 and of the order of 10−6 mol/dm3 at pH = 2.5. The polymer was shown to be potentially useful for the purification of water from anionic surfactants. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008
pH‐ and temperature‐sensitive in vitro release of salicylic acid through poly(vinyl alcohol‐g‐acrylamide) membranes
Authors: Asman Gülsen , Şanlı Oya , Tuncel Didem 
Published: November 2007

AbstractIn this study, acrylamide (AAm) was grafted onto poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in solution with UV radiation, and membranes were prepared from the graft copolymer (PVA‐g‐AAm) for transdermal release of salicylic acid (SA) at in vitro conditions. Permeation studies were carried out using a Franz‐type diffusion cell. Release characteristics of SA through PVA and PVA‐g‐AAm membranes were studied using 2.0 mg/mL SA solutions. Effects of the presence of AAm in the copolymer, pH of donor and acceptor solution, and concentration of SA and temperature on the release of SA were investigated. Permeation of SA through the membranes was found to be pH‐dependent, and increase in pH generally increased the release percentage of SA, and the presence of AAm in the membrane positively affected the permeation. The effect of concentrations of SA on the permeation was also searched using saturated solution of SA, and permeated amount of SA was found to be less than in the case of unsaturated SA solution. Studies showed that the release of SA from PVA‐g‐AAm membranes was temperature‐sensitive and increase in temperature increased the permeation rate. 82.76% (w/w) SA was released at the end of 24 h at (39 ± 1)°C, and the overall activation energy for the permeation of SA through PVA‐g‐AAm membranes was found to be 19.65 kJ/mol. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Room temperature resistance relaxation behavior for carbon black filled conductive polymer composites
Authors: Zhou Jianfeng , Song Yihu , Zheng Qiang , Jiang Xian , Shui Bo 
Published: November 2007

AbstractRoom temperature resistance relaxation was studied with respect to carbon black (CB) volume fraction, the type of polymer matrix, and the environment. It was found that resistance of CB filled poly(methylvinylsiloxane) and polypropylene (PP) conductive composites changed at room temperature with different directions and amplitudes, depending on the filler volume fraction and the environment. The room temperature resistance relaxation was ascribed to the local Joule heat at the tunneling junction or the swelling effect of the solvents. On the other hand, CB filled immiscible PP/Nylon 1212 blends exhibited a stable electrical conduction due to the selective distribution of CB aggregates along the interface between polymer matrices. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of thermal treatment on the tensile and in‐plane shear behavior of carbon fiber‐reinforced poly(phenylene sulfide) composite specimens
Authors: Pantelakis Sp. G. , Katsiropoulos Ch. V. , Lefebure Patrice 
Published: November 2007

AbstractThe effect of PPS matrix evolution occurring during thermal treatment of carbon fiber‐reinforced PPS plies prior to their consolidation to laminates on the mechanical behavior of the composite material has been investigated. The thermal treatments were performed at temperatures and times, which are relevant for processing PPS composites. All thermal treatments were carried out in an oven in air to facilitate the presence of oxygen, while the subsequent consolidation was performed in an autoclave. The tensile and in‐plane shear behavior of both, thermal‐treated and untreated materials, was investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry and microscopy analyses were made to evaluate the effect of the performed thermal treatments on degree of crystallinity and porosity of the laminates. The mechanical tests carried out have shown an appreciable degradation of the mechanical properties investigated. The observed degradation increases with increasing thermal treatment temperature and time when thermal treatments were carried out on each single composite ply prior to the consolidation. On the other hand, when, prior to the consolidation, the whole set of plies was subjected to thermal treatment, improved mechanical properties were observed. The results were discussed under the viewpoint of PPS matrix evolution during processing of the composite plies in the presence of oxygen. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008
Development of sorafenib and other molecularly targeted agents in hepatocellular carcinoma
Authors: Zhu Andrew X. 
Published: November 2007

AbstractIt is well appreciated that hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents one of the most challenging malignancies of worldwide importance. In fact, HCC is the fifth most common cancer and the third most common cause of cancer‐related death globally. The incidence rates for HCC in the U.S. and Western Europe have been rising. Unresectable or metastatic HCC carries a poor prognosis, and systemic therapy with cytotoxic agents provides marginal benefit. Because of the poor track record of systemic therapy in HCC, there has been a sense of nihilism for this disease in the oncology community for decades. However, with the arrival of newly developed, molecularly targeted agents and the success of some of these agents in other traditionally challenging cancers, such as renal cell carcinoma, there has been renewed interest in developing novel systemic therapy in HCC. At the recent Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, results of a phase 3, randomized, placebo‐controlled trial were presented in which sorafenib demonstrated improved survival in patients with advanced HCC. This landmark study represents the first agent that has demonstrated an improved overall survival benefit in this disease and sets the new standard for first‐line treatment of advanced HCC. For this review, the author concisely summarized the current status of molecularly targeted agents that are under clinical development in advanced HCC. Cancer 2008. © 2007 American Cancer Society.

Authors: Galbiati Silvia , Chiari Marcella , Macellari Micol , Ferrari Maurizio , Cremonesi Laura , Cretich Marina 
Published: November 2007

AbstractIn this work a high‐throughput method based on the single‐nucleotide extension (SNE) reaction and multicolour detection in a DNA sequencer was developed to screen for eight mutations in the human beta‐globin gene: IVSI.110, cd39, IVSI.1, IVSI.6, IVSII.745, HbC, HbS and cd6. The method has been validated on a large number of samples for the two most common mutations causing beta‐thalassemia in the Mediterranean area (IVSI.110 and cd39). The development of a high‐throughput, fast and reliable method to assay beta‐thalassemia mutations represents a significant improvement in molecular diagnosis of this disease. The multicolour detection and the use of multiple injections further enhances the throughput of mutational screening by the DNA sequencer and facilitates automated genotyping for routine molecular diagnostics.

Published: November 2007

AbstractThis paper introduces a new substrate for reverse‐phase protein microarray applications based on macroporous silicon. A key feature of the microarray substrate is the vastly surface enlarging properties of the porous silicon, which simultaneously offers highly confined microarray spots. The proof of principle of the reverse array concept was demonstrated in the detection of different levels of cyclin E, a possible cancer biomarker candidate which regulates G1‐S transition and correlates with poor prognosis in different types of human cancers. The substrate properties were studied performing analysis of total cyclin E expression in human colon cancer cell lines Hct116 and SW480. The absence of unspecific binding and good microarray quality was demonstrated. In order to verify the performance of the 3‐D textured macroporous surface for complex biological samples, lysates of the human tissue spiked to different levels with cell extract overproducing cyclin E (Hct116) were arrayed on the chip surface. The samples were spotted in a noncontact mode in 100 pL droplets with spots sizes ranged between 50 and 70 μm and spot‐to‐spot center distances 100 μm, allowing microarray spot densities up to 14 000 spots per cm2. The different sample types of increasing complexities did not have any impact on the spot intensities recorded and the protein spots showed good homogeneity and reproducibility over the recorded microarrays. The data demonstrate the potential use of macroporous silicon as a substrate for quantitative determination of a cancer biomarker cyclin E in tissue lysates.

Published: November 2007

AbstractThis review, as a continuation of two earlier reports, gives an overview of the recent developments, over the period from 2005 until now, in the use of electrophoretically mediated microanalysis (EMMA) methodology for the on‐line study of enzymatic reaction and derivatization. The article is divided into two parts: (i) on‐line enzymatic reaction by EMMA and (ii) on‐line derivatization by EMMA. Following a brief introduction, a literature overview on enzymatic reaction is provided. The second part starts with an introduction of the purpose of derivatization and the nomenclature used in the area of in‐capillary derivatization based on EMMA. The development of more integrated analytical platform that combines in‐capillary derivatization and sample preconcentration is discussed. Reported derivatization procedures are summarized.
A space‐time model for joint modeling of ocean temperature and salinity levels as measured by Argo floats
Authors: Sahu Sujit K. , Challenor Peter 
Published: November 2007

AbstractThe world's climate is to a large extent driven by the transport of heat and fresh water in the oceans. Regular monitoring, studying, understanding and forecasting of temperature and salinity at different depths of the oceans are a great scientific challenge. Temperature at the ocean surface can be measured from space. However salinity cannot yet be measured by satellites, and space‐based measurements can only ever give us values at the surface. Until recently temperature and salinity measurements within the oceans have had to come from expensive research ships. The Argo float program has been funded by various nations to collect actual measurements and rectify this problem.A Bayesian hierarchical model is proposed in this paper describing the spatio‐temporal behavior of the joint distribution of temperature and salinity levels. The model is obtained as a kernel‐convolution effect of a single latent spatio‐temporal process. Additional terms in the mean describe non‐stationarity arising in time and space. Predictive Bayesian model selection criteria have been used to validate the models using data for the year 2003. Illustrative annual prediction maps along with their uncertainty maps are also obtained. The Markov chain Monte Carlo methods are used throughout in the implementation.

Published: November 2007

AbstractAn interaction between the premembrane (prM) and envelope (E) glycoproteins as prM‐E heterodimer is required for proper folding and transport of E during the formation and release of new flaviviral progeny. More evidence, however, is needed to confirm this interaction of prM and E during dengue virus replication. In this study, 2E11, a mouse monoclonal antibody (Mab) that specifically recognizes dengue prM‐E heterodimeric complex in either intracellular or secreted dengue virions, was generated and characterized. In immunofluorescence and immuno‐pull down assays, the Mab 2E11 recognized an epitope present in 293T transfectants that co‐expressed prM and the full‐length form of E in cis and in trans, but it failed to react with prM or E protein expressed individually. The reactivity of Mab 2E11 was diminished in transfected cells that co‐express prM together with a truncated form of E lacking the 84‐residue stretch at the C‐terminal transmembrane region, presumably essential for prM and E interaction. The Mab 2E11 described in this study is a novel Mab with a unique capability in detecting the conformational structure of prM‐E heterodimeric complex of dengue virus. It will be a new biological tool for identification and characterization of dengue prM‐E heterodimer as well as virus maturation and export. J. Med. Virol. 80:125–133, 2008. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
