Elle fixe comme objectif général d’atteindre, à l’horizon 2015, un bon état écologique et chimique des masses d’eau souterraines et de surface, ces dernières incluant les eaux côtières (MEC) et les eaux de transition (MET). Pour évaluer l’état écologique d’une Masse d'Eau (ME), la DCE utilise la notion d’écart par rapport à une situation de référence. Les valeurs de référence, que l’on peut considérer comme niveau étalon du "très bon état écologique", ont été établies par type de ME et par élément de qualité biologique (phytoplancton, macrophytes (macroalgues et phanérogames marines), faune macro-invertébrée benthique et poissons (exclusivement dans les MET).
Ce rapport rend compte des résultats obtenus dans les herbiers de la masse d’eau « Arcachon amont » sur l’ensemble de la période d’étude et indique le classement de la masse d’eau « Arcachon amont » vis à vis de l’indicateur de qualité biologique « angiospermes ».
The Infinite Adjacency &1D Single Wavefunction Paradigm

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: In RSM, spacetime is modeled as a single, coherent superfluid lattice—a continuum in which one spatial dimension collapses, yielding “infinite adjacency” and instantaneous (zero-lag) phase locking. In this framework, quantum gravity resonance is enhanced as the vacuum approaches absolute zero, leading to the emergence of low-entropy (negentropic) pockets that underlie both cosmic phenomena (e.g., orbital resonances, dark matter–like anomalies, black hole vortex formation) and rapid neural synchrony. By applying a fractal recursion operator and defining bridging operators for phase amplification, RSM reinterprets dark matter “lumps,” variable light-speed measurements, and nonlocal neural coherence as artifacts of our discrete, vantage-limited sampling of a universal, frictionless wavefunction. Furthermore, the introduction of a Duality Principle explains how complementary ¨double states¨ (e.g., fluid vs. crystal, abstract vs. manifest, past & present) merge through intentional coupling, establishing consciousness as an active mediator and creative architect in the unfolding of reality. This paper presents the mathematical formalism, physical analogies, and philosophical implications of RSM, proposing that our observed anomalies arise from a limited (3D, stroboscopically sampled) vantage on an eternally unified, frictionless quantum field. The quest to reconcile quantum mechanics with gravity and to uncover the origins of macroscopic order has led to many bold hypotheses. The Resonance Synchronization Model (RSM) challenges our conventional picture by positing that spacetime may behave as a superfluid under near-0 K conditions. In RSM, one spatial dimension can collapse, leading to “infinite adjacency,” where every point along this axis is identical and phase variations vanish. Simultaneously, quantum gravitational excitations, whose resonance strength increases as the effective temperature drops, give rise to coherent “negentropic pockets” and exotic phenomena from planetary orbits to rapid neural phase synchronization.

description: Scale evolution of interactions between a Weyl fermion and a heavy magnetic impurity is calculated non-perturbatively using the functional renormalization group technique. Using an expansion around the vanishing pairing gap, we derive the flow equations for all possible quartic couplings in the system. We find that contrary to conventional perturbation theory, the usual spin-spin isotropic interaction necessarily splits into two invariant parts during the scale evolution, which are fully allowed by the $SU(2)$ spin-rotation symmetry. We also find the existence of an infrared stable interacting fixed point, which can be responsible for intermediate-coupling screening effects. The calculation scheme presented here is rather general and expected to be easily applicable to various spin-spin-like interactions in fermionic systems.

Active Ising Models of Flocking: A Field-Theoretic Approach

description: Using an approach based on Doi-Peliti field theory, we study several different Active Ising Models (AIMs), in each of which collective motion (flocking) of self-propelled particles arises from the spontaneous breaking of a discrete symmetry. We test the predictive power of our field theories by deriving the hydrodynamic equations for the different microscopic choices of aligning processes that define our various models. At deterministic level, the resulting equations largely confirm known results, but our approach has the advantage of allowing systematic generalization to include noise terms. Study of the resulting hydrodynamics allows us to confirm that the various AIMs share the same phenomenology of a first order transition from isotropic to flocked states whenever the self propulsion speed is nonzero, with an important exception for the case where particles align only pairwise locally. Remarkably, this variant fails entirely to give flocking -- an outcome that was foreseen in previous work, but is confirmed here and explained in terms of the scalings of various terms in the hydrodynamic limit. Finally, we discuss our AIMs in the limit of zero self-propulsion where the ordering transition is continuous. In this limit, each model is still out of equilibrium because the dynamical rules continue to break detailed balance, yet it has been argued that an equilibrium universality class (Model C) prevails. We study field-theoretically the connection between our AIMs and Model C, arguing that these particular models (though not AIMs in general) lie outside the Model C class. We link this to the fact that in our AIMs without self propulsion, detailed balance is not merely still broken, but replaced by a different dynamical symmetry in which the dynamics of the particle density is independent of the spin state.

Year: 2013

description: Recent advances in tests for the sexually transmitted protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis have increased opportunities for diagnosis and treatment of this important sexually transmitted infection. This review summarises currently available tests, highlighting their performance characteristics, advantages and limitations. The recent development of molecular tests for the detection of T vaginalis, including rapid antigen detection and nucleic acid amplification tests, has significantly improved the quality of diagnostics for trichomoniasis, particularly in women. In light of the expanded menu of testing options now available, improved recognition and better control of trichomoniasis are in sight, which should enable the eventual reduction of adverse reproductive consequences associated with T vaginalis infection.

description: The compounds $A_2$[FeCl$_5$(H$_2$O)] with $A=$ K, Rb, Cs are identified as new linear magnetoelectric materials. We present a detailed investigation of their linear magnetoelectric properties by measurements of pyroelectric currents, dielectric constants and magnetization. The anisotropy of the linear magnetoelectric effect of the K-based and Rb-based compound is consistent with the magnetic point group $m'm'm'$, already reported in literature. A symmetry analysis of the magnetoelectric effect of the Cs-based compound allows to determine the magnetic point group $mmm'$ and to develop a model for its magnetic structure. In addition, magnetic-field versus temperature phase diagrams are derived and compared to the closely related multiferroic (NH$_4$)$_2$[FeCl$_5$(H$_2$O)].

description: For over a decade there have been contradictory claims in the literature about whether the local bulk flow motion of galaxies is consistent or in tension with the $Λ$CDM model. While it has become evident that systematics affect bulk flow measurements, systematics in the estimators have not been widely investigated. In this work, we thoroughly evaluate the performance of four estimator variants, including the Kaiser maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) and the minimum variance estimator (MVE). We find that these estimators are unbiased, however their precision may be strongly correlated with the survey geometry. Small biases in the estimators can be present leading to underestimated bulk flows, which we suspect are due to the presence of non-linear peculiar velocities. The uncertainty assigned to the bulk flows from these estimators is typically underestimated, which leads to an overestimate of the tension with $Λ$CDM. We estimate the bulk flow for the CosmicFlows-4 data and use mocks to ensure the uncertainties are appropriately accounted for. Using the MLE we find a bulk flow amplitude of $408\pm165 \mathrm{km s}^{-1}$ at a depth of $49\, \mathrm{Mpc} h^{-1}$, in reasonable agreement with $Λ$CDM. However using the MVE which can probe greater effective depths, we find an amplitude of $428\pm108 \mathrm{km s}^{-1}$ at a depth of $173\, \mathrm{Mpc} h^{-1}$, in tension with the model, having only a 0.11% probability of obtaining a larger $χ^2$. These measurements appear directed towards the Great Attractor region where more data may be needed to resolve tensions.

description: RURITAGE involves 6 replicators, each associated with a specific Systemic Innovation Area (SIA). Each of them aims to pursue rural growth and sustainable regeneration in the context of the RURITAGE project, especially in relation to their SIA of reference. In this context and considering the overall objective of each heritage-led regeneration plan developed by the Replicators (Del 3.4), 7 videos have been developed (nne video per Replicator and one for the overall project). From M12 to M18, the Borghi Italia Tour Network (BITN) team made 6 trips to the Replicators’ territories (Appignano Del Tronto, Negova Castle - Kultprotur And Kibla, Route To Hemmaberg - Karawanken Geopark, Magma Geopark, Izmir Bűyűkșehir Belediyesi - Madra Geopark and Geo-Naturpark Bergstrasse-Odenwald) with the aim of capturing on film the uniqueness of these territories with particular attention to the different 6 SIAs (Resilience, Art & Festival, Pilgrimage, Local Food, Landscape and Migration). The itineraries of these trips were planned in collaboration with the Replicators’ teams, to enable joint co-creation of the plot of the videos and to develop a full understanding of the attractiveness of the places analysed. Furthermore, the site visits were also useful in facilitating valuable interviews, to collect and validate information about the destinations, and to obtain further indications on the economy, cultural and social aspects of these areas. In this way BITN was able to learn more about customs and traditions, laying the foundations for defining a future social development strategy and using the outcome also to enhance the development of the branding aspects, described in separate Deliverable 6.3.

description: Lipocalins are a structurally conserved and diversely functional family of proteins that are of potential importance in epididymis functions. The rat Lcn9 gene was cloned by in silico methods and genome walking based on homology to the rhesus monkey epididymal ESC513 and its polyclonal antisera were prepared. The rat Lcn9 gene is located on chromosome 3p13 spanning 7 exons, contains 2.3 kb and encodes 179 amino acids with a 17-amino acid signal peptide. Northern blot, western blot, and immunohistochemical staining analysis revealed that rat Lcn9 was a novel epididymis-specific gene, expressed selectively in the proximal caput region, influenced by luminal fluid testicular factors. Moreover, Lcn9 protein was modified by N-glycosylation and bound on the postacrosomal domain of caput sperm. In conclusion, the rat Lcn9 exhibited tissue-, region-, and temporal-specific expression patterns and its expression was regulated by luminal testicular factors. Its potential roles in sperm maturation are discussed.
Quantum critical fans from critical lines at zero temperature

description: Quantum critical phenomena influences the finite temperature behavior of condensed matter systems through quantum critical fans whose extents are determined by the exponents of the zero temperature criticality. Here we emphasize the aspects of quantum critical lines, as discussed previously, and study an exactly solved model involving a transverse field Ising model with added three-spin interaction. This model has three critical lines. We compute the spin-spin correlation function and extract the correlation length, and identify the crossovers: quantum critical to quantum disordered, or renormalized classical regimes. We construct the quantum critical fans along one of the critical lines. In addition, we also construct finite temperature dynamic structure factors. We hope this model will become experimentally realizable in the future, and our results could stimulate studies in many similar models.

description: During the last decade, we saw an explosion of studies investigating the role of lysine methylation/demethylation of histones and non-histone proteins, such as p53, NF-kappaB, and E2F1. These ‘Ying-Yang’ post-translational modifications are important to fine-tuning the activity of these proteins. Lysine methylation and demethylation are catalyzed by protein lysine methyltransferases (PKMTs) and protein lysine demethylases (PKDMs). PKMTs, PKDMs, and their substrates have been shown to play important roles in cancers. Although the underlying mechanisms of tumorigenesis are still largely unknown, growing evidence is starting to link aberrant regulation of methylation to tumorigenesis. This review focuses on summarizing the recent progress in understanding of the function of protein lysine methylation, and in the discovery of small molecule inhibitors for PKMTs and PKDMs. We also discuss the potential and the caveats of targeting protein lysine methylation for the treatment of cancer.

description: L’espadon (Xiphias gladius) de l’océan Indien est actuellement une ressource évaluée comme étant pleinement exploitée à l’échelle de cet océan, avec un risque de surexploitation dans le sud-ouest de l’océan Indien. Une précédente étude a permis de démontrer que les espadons de l’océan Indien ne formaient qu’une seule et même population génétique (conclusion du projet IOSSS – ESPADON). L’objectif de ce projet a été d’explorer la forme de 395 otolithes d’espadons collectés dans sept zones différentes de l’océan Indien pour identifier s’ils provenaient de stocks différents ou non.
Cette étude a permis de tirer 5 conclusions principales :
les otolithes gauche et droit de l’espadon sont significativement similaires.
1- il n’y a pas d’effet de la taille des espadons matures sur la forme de leurs otolithes
2- il n’y a pas de dimorphisme sexuel sur la forme des otolithes d’espadons matures.
3- il n’y a pas d’effet ou de biais de l’année d’échantillonnage sur la forme de l’otolithe d’espadon.
4- il n’existe pas une structure liée à l’origine géographique des espadons dans l’océan Indien
Cette étude réalisée à partir d’une analyse de formes des otolithes confirme donc les résultats préalablement mis en évidence par l’approche génétique, à savoir que les espadons de l’océan Indien forment un seul et unique stock. Ces résultats ont permis à la Commission des Thons de l’Océan Indien (CTOI) de considérer en 2014 et jusqu’à preuve du contraire, qu’il n’existait qu’un seul stock d’espadons dans l’océan Indien, une décision qui écarte pour un certain nombre d’années, la mise en place de mesures de gestion concrètes (eg TAQ) pour cette espèce dans le sud-ouest de l’océan Indien, mesures qui auraient pu pénaliser la flottille palangrière réunionnaise

description: Localized tissue hypoxia is a feature of infection and inflammation, resulting in the upregulation of the transcription factors HIF-1α and NF-κB via inhibition of oxygen sensing hydroxylase enzymes. Previous studies have demonstrated a beneficial role for the hydroxylase inhibitor dimethyloxallyl glycine (DMOG) in inflammatory conditions, including experimental colitis, by regulating the activity of HIF-1 and NF-κB. We have demonstrated in vivo that pre-treatment with DMOG attenuates systemic LPS-induced activation of the NF-κB pathway. Furthermore, mice treated with DMOG had significantly increased survival in LPS-induced shock. Conversely, in models of polymicrobial sepsis, DMOG exacerbates disease severity. DMOG treatment of mice promotes M2 polarization in macrophages within the peritoneal cavity, resulting in the downregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNFα. In addition, in vivo DMOG treatment upregulates IL-10 expression, specifically in the peritoneal B-1 cell population. This study demonstrates cell type specific roles for hydroxylase inhibition in vivo and provides insight into the mechanism underlying the protection conveyed by DMOG in models of endotoxic shock.

description: We employ the Quench Action Method (QAM) for a recently considered geometrical quantum quench: two free fermionic chains initially at different temperatures are joined together in the middle and let evolve unitarily with a translation invariant Hamiltonian. We show that two different stationary regimes are reached at long times, depending on the interplay between the observation time scale T and the total length L of the system. We show the emergence of a non-equilibrium steady state (NESS) supporting an energy current for observation time T much smaller than the system size L. We then identify a longer time-scale for which thermalization occurs in a Generalized Gibbs Ensemble (GGE).

description: The continued development of nuclear weapons and the potential for thermonuclear injury necessitates the further understanding of the immune consequences after radiation combined with injury (RCI). We hypothesized that sub-lethal ionization radiation exposure combined with a full thickness thermal injury would result in the production of immature myeloid cells. Mice underwent either a 20% total body surface area (TBSA) full-thickness contact burn or sham procedure followed by a single whole body dose of 5-Gy radiation. Serum, spleen and peripheral lymph nodes were harvested at 3 and 14 days post-injury. Flow cytometry was performed to identify and characterize adaptive and innate cell compartments. Elevated pro- and anti-inflammatory serum cytokines and profound leukopenia were observed after RCI. A population of cells with dual expression of the cell surface markers Gr-1 and CD11b were identified in all experimental groups, but was significantly elevated after burn alone and RCI at 14 days post-injury. In contrast to the T-cell suppressive nature of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) found after trauma and sepsis, myeloid cells after RCI augmented T-cell proliferation and were associated with a weak but significant increase in IFN-γ and a decrease in IL-10. This is consistent with previous work in burn injury indicating that a MDSC-like population increases innate immunity. RCI results in the increase of distinct populations of Gr-1+ CD11b+cells within the secondary lymphoid organs, and we propose these immature inflammatory myeloid cells provide innate immunity to the severely injured and immunocompromised host.

description: Since the invention of modern CT systems, metal artifacts have been a persistent problem. Due to increased scattering, amplified noise, and insufficient data collection, it is more difficult to suppress metal artifacts in cone-beam CT, limiting its use in human- and robot-assisted spine surgeries where metallic guidewires and screws are commonly used. In this paper, we demonstrate that conventional image-domain segmentation-based MAR methods are unable to eliminate metal artifacts for intraoperative CBCT images with guidewires. To solve this problem, we present a fine-grained projection-domain segmentation-based MAR method termed PDS-MAR, in which metal traces are augmented and segmented in the projection domain before being inpainted using triangular interpolation. In addition, a metal reconstruction phase is proposed to restore metal areas in the image domain. The digital phantom study and real CBCT data study demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves significantly better artifact suppression than other comparing methods and has the potential to advance the use of intraoperative CBCT imaging in clinical spine surgeries.

description: The instrumented sea-mammals program is the global network of open-ocean in-situ observations, being implemented by an international partnership of researchers. Instrumented sea-mammals provide trajectories and vertical profiles of various physical, biogeochemical variables in different regions around the globe. The program’s objective is to build and maintain a multidisciplinary global network for a broad range of research and operational applications including biology, climate and ecosystem variability and forecasting and ocean state validation. Sea-mammals data are publicly available. More information about the project is available at: http://www.coriolis.eu.org/Observing-the-Ocean/Marine-Mammals The main purpose of this document is to specify the format of the files that are used to distribute Sea-mammals data, and to document the standards used therein. This includes naming conventions, or taxonomy, as well as metadata content. This document is derived from the “Argo NetCDF user’s manual”, adapted and specialized to Sea-mammals in-situ observations (wheras Argo is specialized in floats ocean observations).

description: We report here a study of nitrogen and $α$-capture element (O, S, and Si) abundances in 18 Damped Ly$α$ Absorbers (DLAs) and sub-DLAs drawn from the ESO-UVES Advanced Data Products (EUADP) database. We report 9 new measurements, 5 upper and 4 lower limits of nitrogen that when compiled with available nitrogen measurements from the literature makes a sample of 108 systems. The extended sample presented here confirms the [N/$α$] bimodal behaviour suggested in previous studies. Three-quarter of the systems show $\langle$[N/$α$]$\rangle=-0.85$ ($\pm$0.20 dex) and one-quarter ratios are clustered at $\langle$[N/$α$]$\rangle= -1.41$ ($\pm$0.14 dex). The high [N/$α$] plateau is consistent with the HII regions of dwarf irregular and blue compact dwarf galaxies although extended to lower metallicities and could be interpreted as the result of a primary nitrogen production by intermediate mass stars. The low [N/$α$] values are the lowest ever observed in any astrophysical site. In spite of this fact, even lower values could be measured with the present instrumentation, but we do not find them below [N/$α$] $\approx$ $-1.7$. This suggests the presence of a floor in [N/$α$] abundances, which along with the lockstep increase of N and Si may indicate a primary nitrogen production from fast rotating, massive stars in relatively young or unevolved systems.

description: Signaling networks regulate cellular responses to environmental stimuli through cascades of protein interactions. External signals can trigger cells to polarize and move in a specific direction. During migration, spatially localized activity of proteins is maintained. To investigate the effects of morphological changes on intracellular signaling, we developed a numerical scheme consisting of a cut cell finite volume spatial discretization coupled with level set methods to simulate the resulting advection-reaction-diffusion system. We then apply the method to several biochemical reaction networks in changing geometries. We found that a Turing instability can develop exclusively by cell deformations that maintain constant area. For a Turing system with a geometry-dependent single or double peak solution, simulations in a dynamically changing geometry suggest that a single peak solution is the only stable one, independent of the oscillation frequency. The method is also applied to a model of a signaling network in a migrating fibroblast.

description: The vascularized nasoseptal flap has become a principal reconstructive technique for the closure of endonasal skull base surgery defects. Despite its potential utility, there has been no report describing the use of the modern nasoseptal flap to repair traumatic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks and documenting the outcomes of this application. Specific concerns in skull base trauma include septal trauma with disruption of the flap pedicle, multiple leak sites, and issues surrounding persistent leaks after traumatic craniotomy. We performed a retrospective case series review of 14 patients who underwent nasoseptal flap closure of traumatic CSF leaks in a tertiary academic hospital. Main outcome measures include analysis of clinical outcome data. Defect etiology was motor vehicle collision in eight patients (57%), prior sinus surgery in four (29%), and assault in two (14%). At the time of nasoseptal flap repair, four patients had failed prior avascular grafts and two had previously undergone craniotomies for repair. Follow-up data were available for all patients (mean, 10 months). The overall success rate was 100% (no leaks), with 100% defect coverage. The nasoseptal flap is a versatile and reliable local reconstructive technique for ventral base traumatic defects, with a 100% CSF leak repair rate in this series.

description: Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck most commonly metastasizes to the lymph nodes, lung, bone, and liver. Many other rare sites of metastatic disease have been reported. To date, metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck to the orbital apex has not been described. Presented are two cases, one tonsil and one parotid primary with metastatic disease to the orbital apex. Many tumors have been found to metastasize to the eye and orbit, but head and neck neoplasms are rarely reported. A review of the literature is presented in addition to the detailed case reports with their radiologic findings and clinical course. Surgical resection followed by postoperative radiotherapy appears the treatment of choice at this time.

description: We develop a self-supervised ensemble learning (SSEL) method to accurately classify distinct types of phase transitions by analyzing the fluctuation properties of machine learning outputs. Employing the 2D Potts model and the 2D Clock model as benchmarks, we demonstrate the capability of SSEL in discerning first-order, second-order, and Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transitions, using in-situ spin configurations as the input features. Furthermore, we show that the SSEL approach can also be applied to investigate quantum phase transitions in 1D Ising and 1D XXZ models upon incorporating quantum sampling. We argue that the SSEL model simulates a special state function with higher-order correlations between physical quantities, and hence provides richer information than previous machine learning methods. Consequently, our SSEL method can be generally applied to the identification/classification of phase transitions even without explicit knowledge of the underlying theoretical models.

description: The nuclear level densities of $^{194-196}$Pt and $^{197,198}$Au below the neutron separation energy have been measured using transfer and scattering reactions. All the level density distributions follow the constant-temperature description. Each group of isotopes is characterized by the same temperature above the energy threshold corresponding to the breaking of the first Cooper pair. A constant entropy excess $ΔS=1.9$ and $1.1$ $k_B$ is observed in $^{195}$Pt and $^{198}$Au with respect to $^{196}$Pt and $^{197}$Au, respectively, giving information on the available single-particle level space for the last unpaired valence neutron. The breaking of nucleon Cooper pairs is revealed by sequential peaks in the microcanonical caloric curve.
