Indices in Ivory: Inspiring Affective Piety with a Walrus Ivory Christ
Authors: Hafer Mia 
Published: March 2022

The Crucified Christ (Figure 1), now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, captures both Christ’s serene acceptance of death and the graphic reality of mortality in a way rarely seen in medieval ivory carvings. Crafted by a Parisian artisan working in either England or Cologne around 1300, the seven-inch-tall statue now stands devoid of its arms and the small crucifix to which it was originally attached.1 Christ is depicted with his head falling slightly forward, the smooth S-curve of his body emphasizing his youthful form and artfully crossed legs. Scant remains of gold leaf on Christ’s hair and beard encircle the figure’s face in a heavenly light, emphasizing Christ’s calm dignity which was maintained even in death. Remnants of red paint accentuate Christ’s side wound and trail downward, mimicking the appearance of a trickle of dried blood. What makes this piece notable, however, is not the style in which it was carved, but the medium itself—walrus ivory. I argue that the material of the Crucified Christ, as manipulated by the sculptor, lends itself to affective contemplation, shaping the viewer’s devotional experience. By examining how sight, light, touch, and theology shaped a viewer’s perception of the work, I demonstrate how such pieces served to close the gap between the absent divine and the affective devotee.
Sight, Sound, and Silence at the Oratorio of San Bernardino in Clusone
Authors: Verduci Angelica 
Published: March 2022

Recently, Chiara Frugoni has reiterated this lauda-fresco relationship, also briefly mentioning that the disciplini might have gathered in front of the Triumph of Death and Dance of Deathmural to read and recite “Io sono per nome chiamata morte.”8 Building on these observations, my contribution in this article is to specifically explore the performative ways in which the Bianchi could have interacted with the images on the façade of their oratory while reciting the lauda “Io sono per nome chiamata morte” aloud. My in-depth analysis of several passages from this vernacular poem confirms that the narrative in the fresco was modeled on the content of this text. I argue that, by incorporating and engaging with images that foreground the senses of sight and hearing, the iconography of the Clusone fresco becomes a multi-sensory meditation on “Io son per nome chiamata morte.” In particular, I posit that the conversation between Death and the disciplino, as conveyed in this lauda, is primarily envisioned in the representation of Mors triumphans standing on the uncovered sarcophagus at the top of the fresco. Death in triumph not only defiantly faces its onlookers—the Bianchi—by establishing eye contact with them but it also opens its jaw in a sign of speech. The words pronounced by Death, reported on two of the four scrolls at the top of the Clusone painting, correspond to those voiced by the personification of Death in “Io son per some chiamata morte.” I thus suggest that these verses inscribed in the fresco would have functioned as a memory prompt for each disciplino, who, in turn, would have recalled and recited aloud the other lines from the same lauda, thus activating a dialogue with Death.
Embodying Violence, Manipulating Space: The Irony of Valloton's Police States
Authors: Hillman Jordan 
Published: March 2022

In the last decades of the nineteenth century, the visual and experiential character of the French capital was being reshaped as the urban street took on renewed social significance. Though considered a politically charged site of demonstration and insurrection since the Revolution, widespread social protests in the 1890s exacerbated the perceived danger of proletarian crowds. Propelled by heightened tensions between the bourgeois establishment and increasingly radical social reformers, the anarchist movement also reached a fever pitch around 1895. The arch of anarchism’s rise in France coincided with Vallotton’s arrival there and the height of his illustrious graphic career working for popular and fine art ventures alike. The candor and irony of Vallotton’s art has not been lost on art historians, though much of the scholarship has tended to focus on his uneasy relationship to the Nabis and his later painting career, which became the artist’s primary focus after 1899. When studies have addressed his graphic work, it has typically been in the context of his virtuosic handling of the woodcut medium or his prolific illustrations for the popular press. Recently, however, scholars like Richard Thomson and Bridget Alsdorf have undertaken more sustained examinations of Vallotton’s graphic interest in violence and the law. Building on and diverging from these studies, I argue that the seeming violence of Vallotton’s spatial interventions in his police prints—the transposition of space into form and back again—works not as hyperbole but rather as an astute expression of the unpredict-able and shifting experiences with police in the streets of Paris.

Aims: The acute adjustments on the contractile function and the intracellular calcium (Ca2+) handling in the cardiomyocytes of the right ventricle (RV) after an acute aerobic exercise session are not known. Our aim was to investigate the acute responses of the contractile function and the intracellular Ca2+ handling in isolated RV cardiomyocytes after a swimming exercise session.
Methods: Ten-week-old female Wistar rats were randomly allocated into two groups: control (C; n = 5) and exercise (Ex; n = 7). It was performed a swimming exercise session for 30 min. with an overload of 4% relative to the body weight attached to the tail. The rats were sacrificed after the exercise session for the analysis of the RV contractile function parameters and the intracellular Ca2+ handling by the isolated cardiomyocyte technique.
Results: Body and heart weights, as well as sarcomere length were similar between the groups. Also, it was not observed differences between the groups for RV cardiomyocyte contractile parameters. However, the systolic and diastolic intracellular Ca2+ concentration was significantly lower in the Ex group compared to C with maintenance of Ca2+ amplitude.
Conclusion: An acute swimming aerobic exercise session promotes cardiomyocyte contractility maintenance even with systolic and diastolic intracellular Ca2+ concentration reduced in the RV cardiomyocytes, reflecting an improvement in the intracellular Ca2+ handling.

Published: March 2022

Single molecule localization (SML) and tracking (SPT) techniques, such as (spt)PALM, (u/DNA)PAINT and quantum dot tracking, have given unprecedented insight into the nanoscale molecular organization and dynamics in living cells. They allow monitoring individual proteins with millisecond temporal resolution and high spatial resolution (&lt;30 nm) by precisely localizing the point spread function (PSF) of individual emitters and tracking their position over time. While SPT methods have been extended to study the temporal dynamics and co-organization of multiple proteins, conventional experimental setups are restricted in the number of proteins they can probe simultaneously and usually have to tradeoff between the number of colors, the spatio-temporal resolution, and the field of view. Yet, localizing and tracking several proteins simultaneously at high spatial and temporal resolution within large field of views can provide important biological insights. By employing a dual-objective spectral imaging configuration compatible with live cell imaging combined with dedicated computation tools, we demonstrate simultaneous 3D single particle localization and tracking of multiple distinct species over large field of views to be feasible without compromising spatio-temporal resolution. The dispersive element introduced into the second optical path induces a spectrally dependent displacement, which we used to analytically separate up to five different fluorescent species of single emitters based on their emission spectra. We used commercially available microscope bodies aligned one on top of the other, offering biologists with a very ergonomic and flexible instrument covering a broad range of SMLM applications. Finally, we developed a powerful freely available software, called PALMTracer, which allows to quantitatively assess 3D + t + λ SMLM data. We illustrate the capacity of our approach by performing multi-color 3D DNA-PAINT of fixed samples, and demonstrate simultaneous tracking of multiple receptors in live fibroblast and neuron cultures.

Published: March 2022

A novel valine-based isocyanonaphthalene (NpI) was designed and synthesized by using an easy method and enabled the selective fluorescence detection of Hg2+. The chemodosimeter can display an immediate turn-on fluorescence response (500-fold) towards target metal ions upon the Hg2+-mediated conversion of isocyano to amino within NpI. Based on this specific reaction, the fluorescence-enhancement probe revealed a high sensitivity toward Hg2+ over other common metal ions and exhibited excellent aqueous solubility, good antijamming capability, high sensitivity (detection limit: 14.2 nM), and real-time detection. The response mechanism of NpI was supported by NMR spectroscopy, MS analysis and DFT theoretical calculation using various techniques. Moreover, a dipeptidomimetic NpI probe was successfully applied to visualize intracellular Hg2+ in living cells and monitor Hg2+ in real water samples with good recoveries and small relative standard deviations.
Efficient Coagulation Removal of Fluoride Using Lanthanum Salts: Distribution and Chemical Behavior of Fluorine

Published: March 2022

Abstract: La-loaded absorbents have been widely reported for fluoride removal due to the strong affinity of La3+ towards fluoride ion. Herein, chemical removal of fluoride from flue gas scrubbing wastewater using lanthanum salt is investigated. The retaining free F− concentration, phase composition and morphology of filtration residues, and the distribution of fluorine have been investigated using ion-selective electrode, analytical balance, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffractor. The results show that at La/F molar ratio ≥1:3.05, the majority of fluorine exists as LaFx3−x complexes, leading to the failure of fluoride removal. At 1:3.20 ≤ La/F molar ratio ≤1:3.10, the formation of LaF3 is facilitated. However, co-existing LaFx3−x tends to absorb on the surface of LaF3 particles, leading to the formation of colloidal solution with large numbers of LaF3·LaFx3−x suspended solids. At an optimized La/F molar ratio of 1:3.10, a fluoride removal of 97.86% is obtained with retaining fluorine concentration of 6.42 mg L−1. Considering the existing of positively charged LaFx3−x and LaF3·LaFx3−x, coagulation removal of fluoride is proposed and investigated using lanthanum salts and negatively charged SiO2·nH2O colloidal particles, which is in-situ provided via Na2SiO3 hydrolysis at pH near 5.5. At a La/F molar ratio of 1:3.00 and Na2SiO3 dose of 0.50 g L−1, a fluoride removal of 99.25% is obtained with retaining fluorine concentration of 2.24 mg L−1. When Na2SiO3 dose increases to 1.00 g L−1, the retaining fluorine concentration could be further reduced to 0.80 mg L−1.

Downstream fining of riverbed gravels is generally linked with the processes of hydraulic sorting and abrasion. Hydraulic sorting is when larger gravel clasts stop moving in response to decreasing flow energy, whereas, finer grains will continue to be carried downstream. Furthermore, transportation of gravel clasts causes abrasion, bringing about a gradual decrease in grain size. Hydraulic sorting and abrasion have different dominant effects on the downstream fining of clasts in rivers with different climatic and tectonic backgrounds. At present, most studies focus on humid areas, and relatively few studies have explored this issue for the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau in arid and semi-arid areas. Detailed investigations of the grain size, lithology, and roundness of riverbed gravels have been performed here along the Taolai, Hongshuiba, and Fengle Rivers, which flow across the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau and debouch into the arid inland of North China. The obtained data were subsequently employed in a hydraulic pattern of grain-size distribution of riverbed gravels in this area, which is characterized by the combined influences of tectonic activity and climatic aridity. Analysis reveals that there is no new rock type appearing in the lithological compositions of riverbed gravels along these rivers, only showing fluctuations in proportions of lithology even though they are adjacent to uplifting mountains. Fresh gravel material from these mountains does indeed mix into the fluvial bedload, inducing a notable decrease in roundness in the Taolai and Hongshuiba bedloads downstream from here. The downstream fining of gravel along the three rivers, with median grain sizes above 128 mm and falling into the range from 20 to 128 mm, can probably be attributed to hydraulic sorting and abrasion. Further analysis suggests that the former presents a high correlation with channel gradient, which may be sustained by fault activity at the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau. The grain-size distribution in these riverbed gravels thus provides insights into the evaluation of fluvial responses to active tectonic uplift.

The search for room temperature superconductivity has accelerated in the last few years driven by experimentally accessible theoretical predictions that indicated alloying dense hydrogen with other elements could produce conventional superconductivity at high temperatures and pressures. These predictions helped inform the synthesis of simple binary hydrides that culminated in the discovery of the superhydride LaH10with a superconducting transition temperatureTcof 260 K at 180 GPa. We have now successfully synthesized a metallic La-based superhydride with an initialTcof 294 K. When subjected to subsequent thermal excursions that promoted a chemical reaction to a higher order system, theTconset was driven irreversibly to 556 K. X-ray characterization confirmed the formation of a distorted LaH10based backbone that suggests the formation of ternary or quaternary compounds with substitution at the La and/or H sites. The results provide evidence for hot superconductivity, aligning with recent predictions for higher order hydrides under pressure.

IntroductionIn Europe, primary hyperparathyroidism is mainly considered an asymptomatic disorder, although there is evidence that patients’ health-related quality of life is impaired. This aspect is mostly evaluated using Pasieka’s Questionnaire: a disease-specific diagnostic tool. The purpose of this study was to translate the Pasieka’s Questionnaire into the Greek language and adapt it to the Greek population.Materials and MethodsPasieka’s Questionnaire consists of 13 questions. Two bilingual, native Greek experts were selected for step one, each of whom offered a blinded Greek version of the questionnaire. In the second step, these two versions were merged into one which was retranslated back into the English language (step three) by two bilingual translators (English native speakers). In the fourth step, a committee was formed to draft the pre-final version of the questionnaire which was then submitted to the co-authors for final approval. Finally, after the approval of the final version, 50 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism were recruited for the pilot study of the questionnaire.ResultsAll 13 questions of the Pasieka’s Questionnaire were translated without any major discrepancy. A high level of internal consistency was achieved (Cronbach’s alpha was 0.904) and agreement between test-retest was excellent for every question.ConclusionThe Greek version of Pasieka’s Questionnaire was validated and can be applied to evaluate the health-related quality of life of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism in Greek-speaking populations.

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) seriously affects the environment, climate, and human health. Over the past decades, the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region (BTH) has been severely affected by pollutant gas and PM2.5 emissions caused by heavy industrial production, topography, and other factors and has been one of the most polluted areas in China. Currently, the long-term, large-scale, and high spatial resolution monitoring PM2.5 concentrations ([PM2.5]) using satellite remote sensing technology is an important task for the prevention and control of air pollution. The aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrieved by satellites combined with a variety of auxiliary information was widely used to estimate [PM2.5]. In this study, a two-stage statistical regression [linear mixed effects (LME) + geographically weighted regression (GWR)] model, combined with the latest high spatial resolution (1 km) AOD product and meteorological and land use parameters, was constructed to estimate [PM2.5] in BTH from 2013 to 2020. The model was fitted annually, and the ranges of coefficient of determination (R2), root mean square prediction errors (RMSPE), and relative prediction error (RPE) for the model cross-validation were 0.85–0.95, 7.87–29.90 μg/m3, and 19.19%–32.71%, respectively. Overall, the model obtained relatively good performance and could effectively estimate [PM2.5] in BTH. The [PM2.5] showed obvious temporal characteristic within a year (high in winter and low in summer) and spatial characteristic (high in the southern plain and low in the northern mountain). During the investigated period of 2013–2020, the high pollutant areas ([PM2.5] &gt; 75 μg/m3) in 2020 significantly narrowed compared to 2013, and the annual average [PM2.5] in BTH fell below 55 μg/m3, with a drop of 54.04%. In particular, the [PM2.5] in winter season dropped sharply from 2015 to 2017 and declined steadily after 2017. Our results suggested that significant achievements have been made in air pollution control over the past 8 years, and they still need to be maintained. The research can provide scientific basis and support for the prevention and control of air pollution in BTH and beyond.

Phosphorus (P) is a non-renewable source, requires in large amount for maintaining better crop growth and development. The excessive P fertilizer contributes to the accumulation of P in the soil and results in increased soil total P and Olsen P. However, the spatio-temporal variation of soil P remains unclear in pomelo orchard systems. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the temporal and spatial variation of soil P in pomelo orchards and future to predict P pool from 1985 to 2100, based on the dynamic P pool simulator (DPPS) model. We found that an average of 282.23 kg P ha−1 yr−1 accumulated in pomelo orchard soil, resulting in increased concentration of Olsen P (i.e., 5–212 mg kg−1) and total P (i.e., 80–1883 mg kg−1) in the topsoil. It showed that Olsen P and total P pools increased in topsoil about 42 and 25 folds, respectively from 1985 to 2015. Soil P accumulation occurred not only in topsoil but also found in deeper soil horizon of pomelo orchard. Compared with the natural forest, the concentration of Olsen P and fractions (Al-P and Fe-P) in 20-year-old pomelo orchard increased significantly in soil depth of 0–120 cm, while Sol-P increased significantly in 0–60 cm soil depth. Scenario analyses from 1985 to 2100 indicated that the P application rate at 31 kg P ha−1 could maintain pomelo yield at its optimum level. These findings could provide the synthesized novel insight for understanding the soil P status and its sustainable management in the pomelo orchard systems.
