Steven Matthews, Les Murray. Melbourne: Melbourne University Press, 2001. ISBN - 0522850057 [Book review]

subject: FOS: Languages and literature

description: Randall Jarrell’s incisive remark applies all too well to Les Murray, certainly Australia’s most recognised and recognisable living poet, though it seems that few in the wider community could point to a poem or book, in particular, that earned him the title. That said, it was at least for having written something that Murray came to the attention of the Australian public. His work on a proposed pre-amble for the Australian constitution in 1998, both underwritten and over-seen by John Howard’s prosaic and ideologically cramped hand, caused something of a stir in republican and literary circles. Neither the poetic virtues nor the political sentiment of the preamble stand much critical scrutiny but, in a way, the discussion that ensued from the episode was merely the most public manifestation of a debate that Murray’s work has provoked almost from the beginning. In essence, both critics and admirers have continuously argued over how much Murray’s poetry is informed, and perhaps even deformed, by his politics. As Matthews puts it, Murray’s “poetic gift, when treating his ‘proper’ subjects was to set him above other Australian poets, both contemporary and earlier. Yet, on the other hand, his work was often perceived to cross the boundaries into political immediacy and republican advocacy, a feature which was perceived to weaken it” (149).

description: This edition of Southerly, the oldest standing Australian literary journal, is an interesting revue of what constitutes contemporary Australian literary practice and its intrinsic and qualitative ethos. If Southerly is to be seen as an inclusive forum for Australian writers, if it is to be seen as representative of such writers, then we should imagine that contemporary literary practice is in a position to illuminate even the darkest recesses of what has been represented as a kind of cavity in our collective, social, heart.
Interaction of organic carbon, reduced sulfur and nitrate in anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) for fresh leachate treatment

description: Interaction of organic carbon, reduced sulfur and nitrate was examined using anaerobic baffled reactor for fresh leachate treatment by supplementing nitrate and/or sulfide to compartment 3. Nitrate was removed completely throughout the study mostly via denitrification (>80%) without nitrite accumulation. Besides carbon source, various reduced sulfur (e.g., sulfide, elemental sulfur and organic sulfur) could been involved in nitrate reduction process via sulfur-based autotrophic denitrification when DOC/nitrate ratio decreased below 1.6. High sulfide concentration not only stimulated autotrophic denitrification, but it also inhibited heterotrophic denitrification, resulting in a shift (11–20%) from heterotrophic denitrification to dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonia (DNRA). High-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis further confirmed that sulfur-oxidizing nitrate-reducing bacteria (soNRB) were stimulated with increase in the proportion of bacterial population from 18.6% to 27.2% by high sulfide concentration, meanwhile, heterotrophic nitrate-reducing bacteria (hNRB) and fermentative bacteria (FB) were inhibited with 25.5% and 66.6% decrease in the bacterial population.

description: I stank of wine and meat. Nine months as a vegan had ended ingloriously, drowned in a few too many glasses of cheap retsina.
 I felt disgust and repulsion for myself while I climbed the rough slope.
 I had deviated from the main path that circled the mountain in order to cut the distance to the monastery. I realized my mistake too late. I had already fallen repeatedly and the mud made my shoes heavy as lead.
 I turned on the torch. My palms were bloody. Fury and despair gagged my mouth. I angrily slung a stone at the sky. He returned it onto my forehead. I turned back onto the path I knew, and began again.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Historein is a Greek journal, although most of the articles are in English. Its contents could not be better described than with a quick note on the title: historein is the infinitive of the verb from which historia is derived, which means both history and story (like the German Geschichte). This double meaning circumscribes the broader cultural and intellectual concerns of the journal. The articles are invariably based on the conference organized every year by the editors, which guarantees a thematic unity.

description: The production of micro- and nanosized dry powder formulations of pharmaceutical drugs by spraying methods with high yields and desired rheological characteristics is typically challenging from laboratory up to commercial scales. In this work, supercritical CO2 was used in a supercritical enhanced atomization (SEA) process as a bottom-up method to create micro- and nanoparticles, with an enhanced control over their physicochemical properties, to produce injectable aqueous suspensions of itraconazole (ITZ). The existing drying chamber design was optimized to significantly improve the SEA process product yield. Additionally, a novel set-up was integrated for the continuous production of ITZ particles directly collected in an aqueous stabilizer media by the super-critical enhanced atomization-induced particle entrapment into suspension (SEA-PES) process. To evaluate the influence of various SEA-PES processing parameters on the particle size, morphology, residual solvent, and particle collection yield of each experimental run utilising the in-house built continuous set-up, a solvent screening study followed by a design of experiments (DoE) was carried out. Based on the given output parameters, tetrahydrofuran (THF) was selected as the optimum solvent for ITZ. The best excipient/s for stabilising ITZ micro- and nanoparticles in suspension, respectively, have previously been discovered to be vitamin E TPGS (0.5% w/w) in combination with PVP K30 (0.5% w/w). Using both the SEA and SEA-PES methods, homogeneous ITZ micro- and nanosuspensions (solid content of 200 mg/g) with D50 0.23 ± 0.06 μm and 3.5 ± 0.2 μm were produced, respectively. These suspensions were stable and resuspendable after 365 days of storage at 25 ◦C. Finally, utilising a newly developed discriminatory dissolution method, the in vitro release characteristics of ITZ micro- and nanosuspensions were evaluated. There was no significant difference between the SEA and SEA-PES methods to generate the drug micro- and nanosuspensions, according to both solid-state and in vitro release profiles analysis. This work provides proof of concept for establishing a cost-effective experimental platform for the continuous production of injectable micro-and nanosuspensions of ITZ.

description: Background: Inhaled glucocorticoids may increase the risk of pneumonia in adults. Thus, respiratory infections may be a potential explanation for the non-significantly increased mortality seen in the glucocorticoid group in the largest randomized trial on inhaled glucocorticoids for preventing bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants published to date (NEuroSIS). Objective: To evaluate the effect of inhaled budesonide on the risk of death due to respiratory infections in the NEuroSIS trial. Methods: We performed post hoc analyses of prospectively collected data from 856 preterm infants on presumed but not culture-proven sepsis and antimicrobial drug use. Additionally, pulmonary complications reported on adverse event forms, death certificates and autopsy reports were compared between study groups. Results: Treatment groups did not differ in the number of episodes with suspected sepsis (184/437 [42.1%] in the budesonide vs. 171/419 [40.8%] in the placebo group). Neither the number of patients receiving antimicrobial drugs nor the length of antimicrobial treatment differed between groups. Our analyses for pulmonary adverse events as well as for pulmonary complications reported on death certificates and autopsy reports did not suggest a negative impact of inhaled budesonide on these outcomes. Conclusion: The current analysis does not support the assumption that respiratory tract infections explain the increased mortality seen in the glucocorticoid group in the NEuroSIS trial.

description: Background: Arginine deiminase (ArcA) has been speculated to facilitate the intracellular survival of Streptococcus suis under acidic conditions. However, the physical and biological properties and function of SS2-ArcA have not yet been elucidated. Methods: Recombinant SS2-ArcA (rSS2-ArcA) was expressed and purified using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. Under various pH and temperature conditions, the enzymatic properties of purified rSS2-ArcA and crude native SS2-ArcA were determined. Results: The SS2-arcA-deduced amino acid sequence contained a conserved catalytic triad (Cys399-His273-Glu218). The optimum temperature and pH of 47-kDa rSS2-ArcA and crude native SS2-ArcA were 42°C and pH 7.2. The rSS2-ArcA and crude native SS2-ArcA were stable for 3 h at 4 and 25°C, respectively. The pH stability and dependency tests suggested that rSS2-ArcA and crude native SS2-ArcA were functionally active in acidic conditions. The L-arginine substrate binding affinity (Km) values of rSS2-ArcA (specific activity 16.00 U/mg) and crude native SS2-ArcA (specific activity 0.23 U/mg) were 0.058 and 0.157 mM, respectively. rSS2-ArcA exhibited a weak binding affinity with the common ArcA inhibitors L-canavanine and L-NIO. Furthermore, the partial inactivation of SS2-ArcA significantly impaired the viability and growth of SS2 at pH 4.0, 6.0, and 7.5. Conclusions: This study profoundly demonstrated the involvement of ArcA enzymatic activity in S. suis survival under acidic conditions.

description: Current computational methods used to analyze changes in DNA methylation and chromatin modification rely on sequenced genomes. Here we describe a pipeline for the detection of these changes from short-read sequence data that does not require a reference genome. Open source software packages were used for sequence assembly, alignment, and measurement of differential enrichment. The method was evaluated by comparing results with reference-based results showing a strong correlation between chromatin modification and gene expression. We then used our de novo sequence assembly to build the DNA methylation profile for the non-referenced Psammomys obesus genome. The pipeline described uses open source software for fast annotation and visualization of unreferenced genomic regions from short-read data.

description: Chromium (VI) is a priority pollutant in soil and water and poses serious threats to the environment. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs), as a sustainable technology, have been applied to treat heavy-metal-contaminated wastewater. To study MFC application in soil remediation, red clay soil and fluvo-aquic soil were spiked with Cr(VI) and packed into a cathode chamber of MFCs, which were then operated at external resistances of 100 and 1000 Ω for 16 days, with open circuit condition as a control treatment. After the operation, the concentration of dissolved Cr(VI) in supernatant and total Cr(VI) in soil was decreased. Soil type and external resistance significantly affected the current, removal efficiency of Cr(VI), and cathode efficiency. Reducing external resistance improved the removal efficiency. The red soil generated a higher current of MFCs, but showed a lower removal efficiency and cathode efficiency than fluvo-aquic soil, implying that the red soil may contain more electron acceptors that competed with Cr(VI) reduction reaction. Our study demonstrated that MFC-based technology has the potential to remediate Cr(VI)-contaminated soil; the efficiency varied between soil types and can be improved with high current.

description: The acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AChE) plays an important role in central and peripheral nervous systems. Acetylcholine (ACh) acts through the regulation of AChE activity, which can play a key role in accelerating senile amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) plaque deposition. Therefore, inhibition of the AChE enzyme can be used as a key principle to prevent ACh depletion. The present study has been emphasized to explore both ligand- and structure-based 3D QSAR, HQSAR, pharmacophore, molecular docking and simulation studies on a set of structurally diverse inhibitors to optimize prime structural features responsible for selective binding to AChE, and vis-à-vis inhibiting enzyme activity. The pharmacophore model showed the importance of HB acceptor and donor, positive ionization and hydrophobic features of the molecule for effective binding. Structure-based docking and simulation studies adjudged the significance of features obtained from ligand-based 3D QSAR, CoMFA (Q2 = .608, = .700), CoMSIA (Q2 = .632, = .734), HQSAR (Q2 = .850, = .693) and pharmacophore (Q2 = .839, ROCscore = .769) models. The aim of the present study is to identify the essential structural and physicochemical profiles of molecules that can provide therapeutic benefits with less toxicity. Structurally diverse compounds have been used for the study, and the generated models showed the large applicability domain.

description: This research evidences the usefulness of open big data to map mobility patterns in a medium-sized city. Motivated by the novel analysis that big data allow worldwide and in large metropolitan areas, we developed a methodology aiming to complement origin-destination surveys with à la carte spatial boundaries and updated data at a minimum cost. This paper validates the use of Twitter data to map the impact of public spaces on the different parts of the metropolitan area of Concepción (MAC), Chile. Results have been validated by local experts and evidence the main mobility patterns towards spaces of social interaction like malls, leisure areas, parks and so on. The Main Map represents the mobility patterns from census districts to different categories of public spaces with schematic lines at the metropolitan scale and it is centred in the city of Concepción (Chile) and its surroundings (∼10 kilometres).

description: The story of human beings building a complete and complex symbolic world through language -- in a sense creating a conscious virtual world that had not existed before and which clearly separated them from all the other animals -- might have been the metaphorical basis for a number of creation myths. Humans creating a virtual world with words became a metaphor for God or gods using words to create the world.
