Human aldolase C: gene transcriptional regulation and protein functional role
Creators: name: Serio, Laura
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2011

description: Aldolase C is the brain-specific aldolase isoenzyme. In the human brain, aldolase C messenger and protein are expressed in a stripe-like pattern in the Purkinje cells of the cerebellum, in the inferior olives and in the Goll and Burdach nuclei of the posterior horn in the spinal cord. Notwithstanding numerous studies have been conducted on aldolase C transcriptional regulation, promoter regions governing brain- and cell-specific expression in human are not yet precisely known. 
We analysed transcriptional regulation of human aldolase C gene through in vitro and in vivo systems. We previously demonstrated that cAMP increased human aldolase C gene expression in PC12 cells through NGFI-B binding to element D in the distal promoter region of the gene. Here we demonstrate that NGF up-regulates human aldolase C gene expression in PC12 cells. We identified the element E in the distal promoter region as responsive to NGF treatment and demonstrated that USF1 binds to this region thus mediating transcriptional up-regulation. We also analyzed the transcriptional regulation of the human aldolase C gene using transgenic mice as in vivo model. We found that the construct pAldC2500-LacZ, containing the cis-elements A, B, C, D and E in the promoter region, was able to direct specific, high levels AldC/LacZ hybrid messenger expression in the brain of transgenic mice, as well as stripe-like expression in the Purkinje cells of the cerebellum. Construct pAldC1500-LacZ, containing elements A, B and C in the proximal promoter region, plus element D of the distal region, was able to direct low levels brain-specific AldC/LacZ and also the stripe-like expression in the Purkinje cell layer. Here we analysed three new transgenic mice lines carrying constructs containing different deleted promoter regions of human aldolase C gene fused to LacZ reporter gene, in order to further point out the role of distal and proximal regions in governing brain-specific and stripe-like expression in vivo. Our results indicate that proximal region contains all the elements required for low-levels, stripe-like expression of aldolase C in the cerebellar Purkinje cell layer; the distal region is responsible for high-levels, stripe-like expression in the cerebellum and in distinct brain areas. 
The second part of this thesis focuses on the functional role(s) of aldolase C protein. To improve our knowledge on the canonical glycolytic role of aldolase C, linking isozyme structure with function, we produced recombinant aldolases by swapping Isozymes Specific Residues (ISRs) from aldolase A to C and viceversa and we analysed their kinetic properties. Finally, to shed light on the putative additional functions we have long intended aldolase C exert, we started a project aimed to the production of a conditional aldolase C knockout mouse.

description: We present precision measurements with MHz uncertainty of the energy gap between asymptotic and well bound levels in the electronic ground state X $^1Σ_{\mathrm{g}}^+$ of the $^{39}$K$_2$ molecule. The molecules are prepared in a highly collimated particle beam and are interrogated in a $Λ$-type excitation scheme of optical transitions to long range levels close to the asymptote of the ground state, using the electronically excited state A $^1Σ^+_{\rm u}$ as intermediate one. The transition frequencies are measured either by comparison with I$_2$ lines or by absolute measurements using a fs-frequency comb. The determined level energies were used together with Feshbach resonances from cold collisions of $^{39}$K and $^{40}$K reported from other authors to fit new ground state potentials. Precise scattering lengths are determined and tests of the validity of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation for the description of cold collisions at this level of precision are performed.

description: The Arecibo L-band Feed Array Zone of Avoidance Survey (ALFA ZOA) will map 1350-1800 square degrees at low Galactic latitude, providing HI spectra for galaxies in regions of the sky where our knowledge of local large scale structure remains incomplete, owing to obscuration from dust and high stellar confusion near the Galactic plane. Because of these effects, a substantial fraction of the galaxies detected in the survey will have no optical or infrared counterparts. However, near infrared follow up observations of ALFA ZOA sources found in regions of lowest obscuration could reveal whether some of these sources could be objects in which little or no star formation has taken place ("dark galaxies"). We present here the results of ALFA ZOA precursor observations on two patches of sky totaling 140 square degrees (near l=40 degrees, and l=192 degrees). We have measured HI parameters for detections from these observations, and cross-correlated with the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED). A significant fraction of the objects have never been detected at any wavelength. For those galaxies that have been previously detected, a significant fraction have no previously known redshift, and no previous HI detection.

description: [Abridged] We have been exploring a spectroscopic unification for all known types of broad line emitting AGN. The 4D Eigenvector 1 (4DE1) parameter space shows promise as a unification capable of organizing quasar diversity on a sequence primarily governed by Eddington ratio. This paper considers the role of CIV 1549 measures with special emphasis on the CIV 1549 line shift as a principal 4DE1 diagnostic. We use HST archival spectra for 130 sources with S/N high enough to permit reliable CIV 1549 broad component (BC) measures. We find a CIV 1549 BC profile blueshift that is strongly concentrated among (largely radio-quiet: RQ) sources with FWHM(H beta BC) < 4000 km/s (which we call Population A). Narrow line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1, with FWHM H beta < 2000 km/s) sources belong to this population but do not emerge as a distinct class. The systematic blueshift, widely interpreted as arising in a disk wind/outflow, is not observed in broader lined AGN which we call Population B. We find new correlations between FWHM(CIV 1549 BC) and CIV 1549 line shift as well as the equivalent width of CIV 1549. They are seen only in Pop. A sources. CIV 1549 measures enhance the apparent dichotomy at FWHM(Hbeta BC) approx. 4000 \kms\ (Sulentic et al. 2000) suggesting that it has more significance in the context of Broad Line Region structure than the more commonly discussed RL vs. RQ dichotomy. Black hole masses computed from FWHM CIV 1549 BC for about 80 AGN indicate that the CIV 1549 width is a poor virial estimator. Comparison of mass estimates derived from Hbeta BC and CIV 1549 reveals that the latter show different and nonlinear offsets for population A and B sources. A significant number of sources also show narrow line CIV 1549 emission. We present a recipe for CIV 1549 narrow component extraction.

description: We report the observations of spontaneous Raman scattering in silicon photonic crystal waveguides. Continuous-wave measurements of Stokes emission for both wavelength and power dependence is reported in single line-defect waveguides in hexagonal lattice photonic crystal silicon membranes. By utilizing the Bragg gap edge dispersion of the TM-like mode for pump enhancement and the TE-like fundamental mode-onset for Stokes enhancement, the Stokes emission was observed to increase by up to five times in the region of slow group velocity. The results show explicit nonlinear enhancement in a silicon photonic crystal slow-light waveguide device.

description: This overview paper defends an augmented cognitively oriented generic-design hypothesis: there are both significant similarities between the design activities implemented in different situations and crucial differences between these and other cognitive activities; yet, characteristics of a design situation (related to the design process, the designers, and the artefact) introduce specificities in the corresponding cognitive activities and structures that are used, and in the resulting designs. We thus augment the classical generic-design hypothesis with that of different forms of designing. We review the data available in the cognitive design research literature and propose a series of candidates underlying such forms of design, outlining a number of directions requiring further elaboration.

description: We study the chiral transformation properties of all possible local (non-derivative) interpolating field operators for baryons consisting of three quarks with two flavors, assuming good isospin symmetry. We derive and use the relations/identities among the baryon operators with identical quantum numbers that follow from the combined colour, Dirac and isospin Fierz transformations. These relations reduce the number of independent baryon operators with any given spin and isospin. The Fierz identities also effectively restrict allowed baryon chiral multiplets. It turns out that the chiral multiplets of the baryons are equivalent to their Lorentz representation. For the two independent nucleon operators the only permissible chiral multiplet is the fundamental one $(\frac12,0)\oplus(0,\frac12)$. For the $Δ$, admissible Lorentz representations are $(1,\frac12)\oplus (\frac12,1)$ and $(\frac32,0)\oplus(0,\frac32)$. In the case of the $(1,\frac12)\oplus (\frac12,1)$ chiral multiplet the $I(J)=\frac32(\frac32)$ $Δ$ field has one $I(J)=\frac12(\frac32)$ chiral partner; otherwise it has none. We also consider the Abelian ($U_A(1)$) chiral transformation properties of fields and show that each baryon comes in two varieties: 1) with Abelian axial charge +3; and 2) with Abelian axial charge -1. In case of the nucleon these are the two Ioffe's fields; in case of the $Δ$, the $(1,\frac12)\oplus (\frac12,1)$ multiplet has Abelian axial charge -1 and the $(\frac32,0)\oplus(0,\frac32)$ multiplet has Abelian axial charge +3.

A Monte Carlo simulation of the intergalactic absorption and the detectability of the Lyman continuum from distant galaxies

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We have made a Monte Carlo simulation of the intergalactic absorption in order to model the Lyman continuum absorption, which is required to estimate the escape fraction of the Lyman continuum from distant galaxies. To input into the simulation, we derive an empirical distribution function of the intergalactic absorbers which reproduces recent observational statistics of the Lyman $α$ forest, Lyman limit systems (LLSs), and damped Lyman $α$ systems (DLAs) simultaneously. In particular, we assume a common functional form of the number evolution along the redshift for all types of absorbers. The Lyman series transmissions in our simulation reproduce the observed redshift evolution of the transmissions excellently, and the Lyman continuum transmission also agrees with an observed estimation which is still quite rare in the literature. The probability distribution of the Lyman $α$ opacity in our simulation is log-normal with a tail towards a large opacity. This tail is produced by DLAs. The probability distribution of the Lyman continuum opacity in our simulation also show a broad tail towards a large opacity. This tail is produced by LLSs. Because of the rarity of LLSs, we have a chance to have a clean line of sight in the Lyman continuum even for $z\sim4$ with a probability of about 20%. Our simulation expects a good correlation between the Lyman continuum opacity and the Lyman $α$ opacity, which may be useful to estimate the former from the latter for an individual line of sight.

description: The dynamics of a spinning fluid in a flat cosmological model is investigated. The space-time is itself generated by the spinning fluid which is characterized by an energy-momentum tensor consisting a sum of the usual perfect-fluid energy-momentum tensor and some Belinfante-Rosenfeld tensors. It is shown that the equations of motion admit a solution for which the fluid four-velocity and four-momentum are not co-linear in general. The momentum and spin densities of the fluid are expressed in terms of the scale factor.
Lateral ventricle size, smooth pursuit eye tracking and neuropsychological test performance in chronic schizophrenia
Creators: name: Tallman, Karen Shepard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The relationships between lateral ventricle size, smooth pursuit eye tracking, and neuropsychological test performance were investigated using a sample of 30 chronic schizophrenic inpatients. There were no significant correlations between any of the measures. Compared to a control group of normal volunteers, the schizophrenic patients showed abnormally poor eye tracking accuracy but did not show lateral ventricular enlargement. Compared to a group of age matched non-schizophrenic psychiatric patients, the schizophrenic patients were impaired on six out of ten neuropsychological tests. As there was no evidence of lateral ventricle enlargement, it is clear that eye tracking impairment and deficits on neuropsychological tests may occur independently of enlarged lateral ventricles. The absence of relationships between impairments on the neuropsychological tests and poor eye tracking is not thought to be the result of restricted performance ranges for any of the measures. The most parsimonious conclusion is that there is no relationship between eye tracking and the variety of neuropsychological functions assessed in this study. However, an alternative possibility is that the study sample was too homogeneously impaired, and a relationship between eye tracking impairment and neuropsychological deficits might emerge in a more diverse sample representative of the range of individuals currently diagnosed as schizophrenic.

description: The suppression of relic gravitational waves due to their conversion into electromagnetic radiation in a cosmological magnetic field is studied. The coupled system of equations describing gravitational and electromagnetic wave propagation in an arbitrary curved space-time and in external magnetic field is derived. The subsequent elimination of photons from the beam due to their interaction with the primary plasma is taken into account. The resulting system of equations is solved numerically in Friedman-LeMaitre-Robertson-Walker metric for the upper limit of the intergalactic magnetic field strength of 1 nGs. We conclude that the gravitational wave conversion into photons in the intergalactic magnetic field cannot significantly change the amplitude of the relic gravitational wave and their frequency spectrum.

In this paper we consider one particular manifestation of the violation of Lorentz invariance, namely modified dispersion relations for massive neutrinos. We show how such modified dispersion relations may affect atmospheric neutrino oscillations. We then consider how neutrino telescopes, such as ANTARES, may be able to place bounds on the magnitude of this type of Lorentz invariance violation.

description: A finite element simulation of the mechanical behaviour of woven textile materials at the scale of individual fibers is proposed in this paper. The aim of the simulation is to understand and identify phenomena involved at different scales in such materials. The approach considers small patches of woven textile materials as collections of fibers. Fibers are modelled by 3D beam elements, and contact-friction interactions are considered between them. An original method for the detection of contacts, and the use of efficient algorithms to solve the nonlinearities of the problem, allow to handle patches made of few hundreds of fibers. The computation of the unknown initial configuration of the woven structure is carried out by simulating the weaving process. Various loading cases can then be applied to the studied patches to identify their mechanical characteristics. To approach the mesoscopic behaviour of yarns, 3D strains are calculated at the scale of yarns, as post-processing. These strains display strong inhomogeinities, which raises the question of using continuous models at the scale of yarns.

description: Many born-digital collections are created with access and shareability in mind, shaped by varying technical capacity and resources. At the same time, institutional moves towards digital submission procedures, e.g. university e-theses, can inadvertently encourage compression, encryption, hyperlinked content, and web-optimisation, as depositors mitigate upload constraints or rights management in the digital environment.  

This poster highlights some early findings from a project looking at e-thesis deposits as a case study for the practical decisions needed to balance inclusivity with stakeholder capacity in repository management. Data is drawn from a survey and discussions designed to understand how and why depositors select file formats for saving and sharing projects, as well as the practical, technical and social implications of this for preservation management of born–digital assets.

description: The spatial turn as epistemological figure. A consideration from the political geography of modernity
Taking on the spatial turn as an interpretive category of Geography, we show the epistemological nature and, consequently, the relevance in the historical evolution of thought and disciplinary practice. The main focus of our reflection is the passage of the Political Geography from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, identifying in the spatial turn a regressive process in the organization of this ancient form of knowledge. The scene involves great personalities, from Botero to Montesquieu, from Machiavelli to Voltaire, from Hobbes to Kant. But the representation also takes in consideration the interpreters, namely who have accepted and validated the contents of a political geography of modernity. Finally it imposes the need for a reflexive epistemology in defining and continuously updating the status of ideological and cognitive knowledge foundation of Western scientific tradition.

Le tournant spatial comme figure epistemologique. Meditation a partir de la geographie politique de la modernite

En assumant le tournant spatial comme une catégorie interpretative de la Géographie, nous en montrons la nature épistémoligique et, par reflex, la pertinence dans l’évolution historique de la pensée et de la pratique disciplinaire. Le point crucial de notre méditation c’est le passage de la Géographie Politique du Moyen Âge à la Renaissance, en ciblant le spatial turn comme un processus regressif dans l’organisation de cette forme de savoir, pourtant si ancienne. Bien sûr, on voit une scene comblée de personnages importants: de Botero à Montesquieu, de Machiavelli à Voltaire, de Hobbes à Kant. Purtant, la représentation convoque non seulement les grands protagonistes mais aussi les interprètes: ceux qui ont credité – et en quelques
sortes officialisé – les contenus de la Géographie Politique de la modernité. L’exigence s’affirme ainsi d’une épistémologie réflexive pour definir et perenniser la mise à jour du statut idéologique et cognitif d’une connaissance fondationnelle de la tradition scientifique occidentale.

L’equivoco dello Spatial Turn

Publisher: name: Semestrale di studi e ricerche di geografia

description: The misunderstanding of the Spatial Turn
The text aims to rethink the so-called “spatial turn”, pointing out the ambiguities and misunderstandings of this expression. It is not uncommon, in fact, think of the space as “geometric” and to the place as “the place lived”; it is not uncommon that you have understood that the other one is like the abstract to the concrete, as the empty to full. The work of De Certeau, who acts as a guide to this essay, tells us that the space as a “unity of multipurpose places” is always “live” (although often it is denied), and the place can always be perceived as “geometric”, as non-place. De Certeau is telling us that there is neither the “geometric space” of Descartes, nor the “non-places” of Marc Augé, or, at least, that we risk confusing the products of the history of ideas with the natural properties of things.

Le malentendu du Spatial Turn
Le texte vise à repenser la soi-disant “tournant spatial”, soulignant les ambiguïtés et les malentendus de cette expression. Il ne est pas rare, en effet, penser l’espace comme une forme abstraite, “géométrique” et vide, et le lieu comme “vécu”, plein et concrète. Le travail de De Certeau, qui on a pris comme point de départ pour ce sage, nous dit que l’espace, comme une “unité de lieux polyvalents”, est toujours “veçu” (bien que souvent refusé), et que le lieu peut toujours être perçu comme “géométrique”, comme non-lieu, comme étranger à les proximitées et contradictions de l’espace. En termes encore plus clairs, de Certeau nous dit qu’il n’y a ni “l’espace géométrique” de Descartes, ni les “non-lieux” de Marc Augé; ou, au moins, que nous risquons de confondre les produits de l’histoire des idées avec le propriétés naturelles des choses.

The paper deals with the question of the place as a result of socio-historical action on the territory by individuals and communities. Starting point of reflection is a text of Augustin Berque entitled Écoumène. Introduction à l’étude des milieux humains. In the first chapter of this book the French geographer says that throughout modernity the place was almost exclusively represented by cartography, while the opposite it takes on a deeper meaning that differentiates it from the concept of locality with which it is often confused. In the same way, the concepts spatiality and territoriality, often combined in a single meaning, in practice taking a deep geographical difference between them.

Dans le tournant spatiale: lieu et localité, espace et territoire
L’article traite de la question du lieu effet de l’action socio-historique sur le territoire par des individus et des communautés. La réflexion a comme point de départ un texte par Augustin Berque appelait Écoumène. Introduction à l’étude des milieux humains. Au premier chapitre de ce volume, le géographe français affirme que tout au long de la modernité le lieu a été presque exclusivement représenté par la cartographie, alors qu’en fait, il prend une signification plus profonde qui le différencie de la notion de la localité dans laquelle elle est souvent confondue. De façon similaire, les concepts d’espacialité et de territorialité, souvent combinés dans un seul sens, montrent une profonde différence entre elles dans la pratique géographique.

description: We discuss a technique and a material system that enable the controlled realization of quantum entanglement between spin-wave modes of electron ensembles in two spatially separated pieces of semiconductor material. The approach uses electron ensembles in GaAs quantum wells that are located inside optical waveguides. Bringing the electron ensembles in a quantum Hall state gives selection rules for optical transitions across the gap that can selectively address the two electron spin states. Long-lived superpositions of these electron spin states can then be controlled with a pair of optical fields that form a resonant Raman system. Entangled states of spin-wave modes are prepared by applying quantum-optical measurement techniques to optical signal pulses that result from Raman transitions in the electron ensembles.

description: Modern recommender systems employ various sequential modules such as self-attention to learn dynamic user interests. However, these methods are less effective in capturing collaborative and transitional signals within user interaction sequences. First, the self-attention architecture uses the embedding of a single item as the attention query, making it challenging to capture collaborative signals. Second, these methods typically follow an auto-regressive framework, which is unable to learn global item transition patterns. To overcome these limitations, we propose a new method called Multi-Query Self-Attention with Transition-Aware Embedding Distillation (MQSA-TED). First, we propose an $L$-query self-attention module that employs flexible window sizes for attention queries to capture collaborative signals. In addition, we introduce a multi-query self-attention method that balances the bias-variance trade-off in modeling user preferences by combining long and short-query self-attentions. Second, we develop a transition-aware embedding distillation module that distills global item-to-item transition patterns into item embeddings, which enables the model to memorize and leverage transitional signals and serves as a calibrator for collaborative signals. Experimental results on four real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed modules.

Realization and optimization of organic electronic devices manufactured by innovative technique: inkjet printing

description: Inkjet printing is a nascent technology that is evolving from text and graphic printing into a major topic of scientific research and R&D, where it can be used as a highly reproducible non-contact patterning technique to deposit liquid functional materials at high speed on either small or large areas of flexible and non-flexile substrates. It is a low cost technique because minimizes the waste products and reduces the process steps.
Nevertheless, the inkjet printing technology has some intrinsic limits, mainly related to the drying process of the printed droplet. In detail, during the drying process the fast evaporation of the solvent at the contact line induces an outward convective flow of the solute to compensate the evaporation losses and, in turn, transports the suspending solute to the edge region. This effect is known as “coffee-stain effect”.
Objective of this PhD thesis was to analyze the critical states of this deposition method and to identify the working parameters for optimizing the deposition conditions. The study on the ink formulation through the definition of its chemico-physical properties, on the wetting of the ink/substrate system through the employment of surface treatments, on the ink processing through the definition of the printing parameters supplies the fundamental elements for controlling the droplet drying and, hence, the quality of the printed material.
The printing parameters act differently on different ink/substrate systems. Therefore, studying the optimization of the deposition for different applications allows to understand how the printing conditions differently affect the working of different devices. In particular, the research activity pertains the employment of the inkjet printing (IJP) technology for optical and electronic applications, specifically focusing on the realization of optical structures, like microstructuring and microlenses, and organic electronic devices, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) sensors, organic field effect transistors (OFETs) and organic solar cells (PSC).

description: A musical performance renders an acoustic realization of a musical score or other representation of a composition. Different performances of the same composition may vary in terms of performance parameters such as timing or dynamics, and these variations may have a major impact on how a listener perceives the music. The analysis of music performance has traditionally been a peripheral topic for the MIR research community, where often a single audio recording is used as representative of a musical work. This paper surveys the field of Music Performance Analysis (MPA) from several perspectives including the measurement of performance parameters, the relation of those parameters to the actions and intentions of a performer or perceptual effects on a listener, and finally the assessment of musical performance. This paper also discusses MPA as it relates to MIR, pointing out opportunities for collaboration and future research in both areas.

description: Nowadays industrial areas have to face many problems, linked not
only to the global economic context but also to local issues, such as social
and environmental ones. In particular, industrial accident risk represents
one of the most critical issues that industry needs to consider and manage for its own development and survival. This article explores the issue, presenting an overview of the European legislation concerning industrial accident prevention and management and analysing some experiences, with a special focus on the SIMAGE system, the integrated system for environmental monitoring and emergency management developed for the petrochemical industrial area of Porto Marghera, Venice. From the analysis arises a reference model for industrial risk management in terms of scale of action, phases to be considered in integrated way, governance systems linking private and public institutions to be developed, technical and organizational structure to be realised, technological dimension to be widened and economic sustainability to be achieved.

De nos jours les zones industrielles doivent faire face à de nombreux
problèmes qui ont partie liée non seulement au contexte économique
global, mais aussi au contexte social et environnemental. En particulier,
le risque d’accidents industriels représente l’un des thèmes les plus sensibles que l’industrie doit prévenir et gérer pour son développement et
sa survie; et cela non seulement pour répondre aux normes qui sont
toujours plus sévères, mais aussi, dans une perspective plus active, pour
garantir un équilibre dans le rapport délicat avec le territoire. Cet article
explore ce sujet, en présentant une vue d’ensemble des politiques de
gestion du risque industriel qui ont été développées au niveau européen.
Il analyse, par ailleurs, quelques expériences qui ont été réalisées
en Italie et à l’étranger par le biais des données du SIMAGE - Système
Intégré pour le Monitorage de l’Environnement et la Gestion des Urgences
– déjà opératoire dans le pôle pétrochimique du Port de Marghera,
près de Venise. De cette analyse de la gestion du risque industriel, il
émerge un modèle de référence, qui précise l’échelle à laquelle il faut
agir, les phases à gérer de façon intégrée, les systèmes de gouvernement
à développer entre les acteurs privés et publics, la structuration technique
et l’organisation à réaliser, la dimension technologique à approfondir
ainsi que la durabilité économique à atteindre.

description: One of the main issue of the 20th century was the interest of art in
city and urban development. This interest was re-launched after September
11, event representing a black hole for artists and collective imaginary. The different languages of art have a deep relationship with city and its dwellers. Art is able to understand the complexity of city and metropolis and to investigate the different relations between its dwellers. The artists address the contradictory nature of city, its unstable balance, the ongoing tension between the high speed of communication flows and the un-reality of places, involving local and specific identities. The artist help us in finding how to put together the events of history and how to rethink the today’s living.

L’intérêt de l’art à l’égard de la ville et de son développement de
plus en plus complexe a été l’un des sujets pricipaux du XXe siècle. Ce
n’est pas par hasard si on constate un nouveau regain d’intérêt dans les
grandes expositions internationales après le 11 septembre, véritable
trou noir dans l’imaginaire collectif et individuel des artistes. L’art, en
tant que pluralité de langages, se met en relation donc avec la ville et
les individus qui l’habitent. Il est à même de saisir tant la complexité de
l’ensemble habitatif –ville puis métropole- que les interactions des individus qui l’habitent. Les artistes perçoivent la contradiction de la ville
moderne, son équilibre instable, en tension perpétuelle entre la vitesse
du flux de communication et l’irréalité d’un lieu où les identités spécifiques
et locales s’affirment et en même temps nous suggèrent des raccomodages possibles conditionnant les plis de l’histoire et rendant possible le ”maintenant” de notre vie individuelle et collective.

description: The first part of the paper gives a new proof of self-duality for Selmer groups: if A is an abelian variety over a number field K, and F/K is a Galois extension with Galois group G, then the Q_pG-representation naturally associated to the p-infinity Selmer group of A/F is self-dual. The second part describes a method for obtaining information about parities of Selmer ranks from the local Tamagawa numbers of A in intermediate extensions of F/K.
