High CO2 content in hydrothermal vent water at the Snake Pit area, Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Creators: name: TRUCHOT, Jean-Paul

Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)
Year: 1998

description: Carbon dioxide contents and partial pressures were measured during the MAR 93 cruise on several water samples
 collected from black smoker chimneys and around mussels and shrimps at the Snake Pit (MARK) vent field (Mid-Atlantic
 Ridge). High end-member values for total CO2 (10.63 mmol l-1) and CO2 partial pressure (335 Torr directly measured at
 33°C; 1 Torr = 0.133 kPa) were recorded for black smokers samples. Water sampled in close proximity of organisms was
 found moderately but significantly enriched in carbon dioxide.

description: We study the localization problem of one-dimensional interacting spinless fermions in an incommensurate optical lattice, which changes from an extended phase to a nonergoic many-body localized phase by increasing the strength of the incommensurate potential. We identify that there exists an intermediate regime before the system enters the many-body localized phase, in which both the localized and extended many-body states coexist, thus the system is divided into three different phases, which can be characterized by normalized participation ratios of the many-body eigenstates and distributions of natural orbitals of the corresponding one-particle density matrix. This is very different from its noninterating limit, in which all eigenstaes undergo a delocaliztion-localization transtion when the strength of the incommensurate potential exceeds a critical value.

description: BitPeople is based on pseudonym events, global and simultaneous verification events that occur at the exact same time for every person on Earth. In these events, people are randomly paired together, 1-on-1, to verify that the other is a person, in a pseudo-anonymous context, over video chat. The event lasts 15 minutes, and the proof-of-unique-human is that you are with the same person for the whole event. The proofs, valid for a month, can be disposed of once no longer valid, and are untraceable from month to month.

Show, Don't Tell: The Politics of Visibility in Media Representations of Invisible Disability
Creators: name: D'Souza, Javin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Invisible disabilities tend to lack recognition not only within mainstream society, but even from members of disabled communities. There are only a few researchers that have clearly marked their articles for the invisibly disabled, or people who do not presenta physically markable illness on their body (i.e. their disability is not obvious0. The lack of investment into research for this community likely stems from the "literal" invisibility of the community: if people have invisible illnesses or illnesses that are rendered invisible due to disbelief, they may not be able to find others, much less have solidarity with others, that also have invisible illnesses. Therefore, to understand the lack of recognition of this group, we need greater understanding of how invisible disabilities are perceived. To investigate this issue, my research analyzes how the invisibly disabled experience is represented in mediated platforms.
The Race Talk on Reddit: “China Virus” and its Effect on Asian-Americans

Year: 2020

description: As news of the rapid rise in deaths due to the coronavirus first trickled into the U.S. just after the Lunar New Year, concern mounted with the possible looming threat of a “China virus” or the “Wuhan virus.” The World Health Organization (WHO) soon released updated information about the disease with a new name, coronavirus, which was assigned according to its crown-like shape, and then renamed it COVID-19 in February, as a means to avoid association to any “geographical location, an animal, [or] an individual or group of people” as per WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus's explanation in a media briefing (WHO 2020). Despite these efforts to remove a sense of associated threat between the virus and the Chinese people, President Donald Trump’s tweet on March 16, 2020 revived the usage of incriminating language that points blame to the Chinese people while simultaneously striking a border between the “we” of Americans and the Chinese.
Cosmic magnetization out from the vacuum

description: The large-scale magnetic fields we observe today in galaxies and galaxy clusters could be the result of a pure quantum effect taking place during inflation, to wit, the creation of particles (photons) out from the vacuum in a curved spacetime. We show that, whenever the conformal invariance of electromagnetism is broken during inflation, the actual magnetic field spectrum, in the classical limit, is given by $B_k \simeq k^2 \sqrt{n_{\mathbf{k}} }$, where $n_{\mathbf{k}} \gg 1$ is the number of created photons with wavenumber $k$. In particular, a scale-invariant magnetic field of order of $10^{12}$G can emerge in the simplest model of cosmic magnetogenesis, the one where the inflaton is kinetically coupled to the photon. Moreover, and contrarily to the general belief, we show that such a model is free from the so-called strong-coupling and backreaction problems. This conclusion follows, indirectly, from the observation that post-inflationary electric currents, which in the literature are incorrectly supposed to freeze superhorizon magnetic fields after inflation, are indeed vanishing on superhorizon scales due to causality.

description: We describe two specimens of an octopod from a hydrothermal vent of the East Pacific Rise (13°N, 2640 m)
 collected during the French cruise HOT 96 (CNRS/IFREMER). They are two males, one immature and one mature. The
 diagnosis of this new genus is as follows: benthic animals with a muscular and semi-translucent body; lack of any type of
 chromatic elements in the skin; eye with no trace of an iris; presence of a large white body covering the eye-ball, the optic
 nerves and the optic lobe; digestive gland multilobulate; presence of a black bulb, here called dark swelling, in proximal third
 of the intestine; presence of a crop and absence of an ink sac. The new species Vulcanoctopus hydrothermalis is a small benthic
 animal up to 35 mm mantle length. The posterior part of the mantle is mitre-like. Arms 2.5-4 times the length of the mantle.
 Right arm III hectocotylized. Ligula short (9.5 % of the hectocotylized arm), lance-shaped and without transverse ridges.
 Calamus short (17.9% of the ligula length). In adult males enlarged suckers absent, and the diameter of the largest sucker is
 about 6% of the mantle length. Depth of the largest sector of the web about 4.8% of the longest arm. Gills with eight lamellae
 per demibranch. The possibility of raising a new sub-family (Vulcanoctopodinae) of Octopodidae, the ecology and adaptations
 of these vent animal are discussed.
On and Off Screen:Race in Buddy Cop Films

Year: 2020

description: both Lethal Weapon and Men in Black have a white and Black buddy while Rush Hour has a Black and Chinese buddy. Though the interracial buddy cop film offers many opportunities for racial commentary, films in this genre with buddies of the same race or with two characters from differing non-white races provide similar experiences related to racial issues, especially with the formation of racial stereotypes. To contextualize the importance of race in these films, and in the larger context of Hollywood, I provide an overview of Blacks in early film and theater. Specifically, the current study will: 1) examine the histories of Blacks in cinema and racism in Hollywood, 2) introduce buddy films, 3) provide a review of relevant literature, 4) conduct an analysis of seven buddy cop films, and 5) discuss the findings of this study as well as address the implications of buddy cop relationships as they relate to the current events of police brutality that disproportionately impact black males.
description: The buddy cop film is a staple of American cinema. Known for its comradery, action, and comedy, this genre has maintained relevance for over fifty years with constant reboots and franchise continuations. Popular films include Lethal Weapon (1987), Men in Black (1997), and Rush Hour (1998)—all of which have spawned several series of at least three films. Each film stars a pair of interracial buddies

The potential capability of the newly derived inequalities is demonstrated by establishing less conservative stability conditions for a class of linear discrete-time systems with an interval time-varying delay in the framework of linear matrix inequalities. The effectiveness and least conservativeness of the derived stability conditions are shown by academic and practical examples.

The Identity of Activism: How Gender and Racial Identity Relate to Activism Among African Americans
Creators: name: Ball, Ja'Chelle
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: In response to the murders of several unarmed African American citizens by police officers and the emergence of movements such as #BlackLivesMatter in the past 10 years, there has been a resurgence of activism in the African American community. Research shows that racial identity influences an individual’s motivation for engagement in activism while gender predicts the type of activism that one might engage. The current study examined gender differences in activism and the associations between gender, racial identity, racial discrimination, and activism. The study included 326 college students (142 men and 183 women) who completed a survey that assessed perceived discrimination, racial identity, and black activism. Correlation and regression analyses were used to examine the associative questions, and an independent t-test was used to examine gender differences in activism. The results indicated that private regard and perceived discrimination are positively associated with activism, however, racial centrality and gender did not predict activism. The findings suggest that racial identity and experiences of discrimination are important determinants of activism. Therefore, this research is relevant as awareness of the interrelatedness of social identities is becoming more prevalent to contemporary activist motivation.
The Tocquevillian Historical Sociology as a Critical Perspective
Creators: name: Arens, Nicolas
Publisher: name: Cambio. Rivista sulle Trasformazioni Sociali
Year: 2017

description: This contribution aims to analyse how at the beginning of the historical sociology lies, already for precursors from the XIX century, a critical perspective. Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) is one of the founders of this approach. His uses of the long-term perspective as well as of the European scope enable him to qualify critically the French Revolution. This paper argues that the Old Regime and the Revolution (Tocqueville 1856) presents the French revolution neither as a real Revolution, since it is an on-going process of the longue durée, nor as a French event, since it is a European one. This significance allows then to relate Tocqueville’s thought with “critical cosmopolitanism” (Delanty 2006) since the nineteenth-century author was trying to associate both the universal movement of equalization and the definition of an open political community.

description: We present a three epoch survey for transient and variables in the extended Chandra Deep Field South at 5.5 GHz with the Australia Telescope Compact Array. A region covering $\sim$0.3 deg$^{2}$ was observed on timescales of 2.5 months and 2.5 years and typical sensitivities 12.1 $-$ 17.1 $μ$Jy beam$^{-1}$ (1$σ$) were achieved. This survey represents the deepest search for transient and variable radio sources at 5.5 GHz. In total 124 sources were detected above the 5.5$σ$ level. One highly variable radio source was found with $ΔS > 50%$ implying a surface density of $\sim$3 deg$^{-2}$. A further three radio sources were found with lower levels of variability equating to a surface density of $\sim$13 deg$^{-2}$ above a detection threshold of 82.3 $μ$Jy. All of the variable sources have inverted radio spectra (between 1.4 and 5.5 GHz) and are associated with active galactic nuclei. We conclude that these variables are young gigahertz peaked-spectrum sources with active and self-absorbed radio jets. We explore the variability completeness of this sample and conclude that the fairly low levels of variability would only be detectable in 3$-$25% of all sources within the field. No radio transients were detected in this survey and we place an upper limit on the surface density of transient events $ < 7.5$ deg$^{-2}$ above a detection threshold of 68.8~$μ$Jy.

description: Cystic fibrosis is characterized by dehydration of the airway surface liquid layer with persistent mucus obstruction. Th2 immune responses are often manifested as increased mucous cell density (mucous cell metaplasia) associated with mucus obstruction. IL-33 is a known inducer of Th2 immune responses, but its roles in mucus obstruction and related phenotypes in a cystic fibrosis-like lung disease model (i.e., Scnn1b-Tg-positive [Tg+]) mouse, remain unclear. Accordingly, IL-33 knockout (IL-33KO) Tg+ mice were examined and compared with IL-33 heterozygous (IL-33HET) Tg+ mice. As compared with IL-33HET/Tg+ mice, IL-33KO/Tg+ mice had complete absence of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid eosinophilia, accompanied with significant reduction in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid concentration of IL-5, a cytokine associated with eosinophil differentiation and recruitment, and IL-4, a major Th2 cytokine. As compared with IL-33HET/Tg+ mice, IL-33KO/Tg+ mice had significantly reduced levels of Th2-associated gene signatures (Slc26a4, Clca1, Retnla, and Chi3l4), along with complete loss of intracellular mucopolysaccharide staining in the airway epithelium. As compared with IL-33HET/Tg+ mice, although the IL-33KO/Tg+ mice had significantly reduced levels of MUC5AC protein expression, they showed no reduction in the degree of mucus obstruction, MUC5B protein expression, bacterial burden, and neonatal mortality. Interestingly, the histological features, including subepithelial airway inflammation and alveolar space enlargement, were somewhat exaggerated in IL-33KO/Tg+ mice compared with IL-33HET/Tg+ mice. Taken together, our data indicate that although IL-33 modulates Th2 inflammatory responses and MUC5AC protein production, mucus obstruction is not dependent on IL-33.

Mucus, mucins, and cystic fibrosis

Year: 2019

description: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is both the most common and most lethal genetic disease in the Caucasian population. CF is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene and is characterized by the accumulation of thick, adherent mucus plaques in multiple organs, of which the lungs, gastrointestinal tract and pancreatic ducts are the most commonly affected. A similar pathogenesis cascade is observed in all of these organs: loss of CFTR function leads to altered ion transport, consisting of decreased chloride and bicarbonate secretion via the CFTR channel and increased sodium absorption via epithelial sodium channel upregulation. Mucosa exposed to changes in ionic concentrations sustain severe pathophysiological consequences. Altered mucus biophysical properties and weakened innate defense mechanisms ensue, furthering the progression of the disease. Mucins, the high-molecular-weight glycoproteins responsible for the viscoelastic properties of the mucus, play a key role in the disease but the actual mechanism of mucus accumulation is still undetermined. Multiple hypotheses regarding the impact of CFTR malfunction on mucus have been proposed and are reviewed here. (a) Dehydration increases mucin monomer entanglement, (b) defective Ca2+ chelation compromises mucin expansion, (c) ionic changes alter mucin interactions, and (d) reactive oxygen species increase mucin crosslinking. Although one biochemical change may dominate, it is likely that all of these mechanisms play some role in the progression of CF disease. This article discusses recent findings on the initial cause(s) of aberrant mucus properties in CF and examines therapeutic approaches aimed at correcting mucus properties.

Scottish Exceptionalism? Normative Codes of Scottish Nationalism in the British and EU Crises
Creators: name: Law, Alex
Publisher: name: Cambio. Rivista sulle Trasformazioni Sociali
Year: 2017

description: Scotland has thus far proved immune to the appeal of right-wing populism present in many European neoliberal democracies. This paper argues that changing tension balances in the crises facing the UK as a union state cannot be reduced to an understanding of the supposedly internal challenge of Scottish sub-state nationalism. Instead sub-state nationalism needs to be situated in the shifting long-term, inter-state power balances of Britain as a union state and a rising and falling world power. Such an approach builds on the promise offered by the historical sociology of Norbert Elias to account for the over-functioning of the normative humanist we-ideals of Scottish civic nationalism in the British and EU crises.

Which Culture(s) for Europe? The Contrasting Conceptions of the Council of Europe and the European Union from 1949 to the Present Day
Creators: name: Calligaro, Oriane
Publisher: name: Cambio. Rivista sulle Trasformazioni Sociali
Year: 2017

description: Two European organizations of a very different nature have taken action to promote and support European culture: the Council of Europe and the European Union. This article aims to show that, despite common symbolic references and mutual influences, the two organizations’ conceptions of culture do not coincide. A socio-historical and comparative analysis of the emergence and evolution of their respective cultural programmes allows us to reconstruct on the long term their visions and usages of culture. Both organizations initially resorted to European culture in a celebratory and legitimizing manner but their approach soon became distinct. The European Commission has durably proposed top-down, elite-driven and static narratives of European culture, which repeatedly drew criticism, also from other actors within the EU institutions. The CoE, on the contrary, has very soon conceptualized culture as open, decentralized and with porous boundaries. These divergent visions will also be observed in the two organizations’ interactions in the cultural domain, which oscillate between competition and collaboration. In contemporary academic debates, the question of the historical and cultural boundaries of Europe are often explored in close connection to the EU’s political agenda and institutional frame. As a contribution to the “provincializing” of the EU, a socio-historical approach including an understudied European organization, the Council of Europe, makes it possible to critically reassess the understanding and usage of culture in the context of European integration.

description: A current-mode CMOS design is proposed for realizing receive mode multi-beams in the analog domain using a novel DFT approximation. High-bandwidth CMOS RF transistors are employed in low-voltage current mirrors to achieve bandwidths exceeding 4 GHz with good beam fidelity. Current mirrors realize the coefficients of the considered DFT approximation, which take simple values in $\{0, \pm1, \pm2\}$ only. This allows high bandwidths realizations using simple circuitry without needing phase-shifters or delays. The proposed design is used as a method to efficiently achieve spatial discrete Fourier transform operation across a ULA to obtain multiple simultaneous RF beams. An example using 1.2 V current-mode approximate DFT on 65 nm CMOS, with BSIM4 models from the RF kit, show potential operation up to 4 GHz with eight independent aperture beams.

description: Background: While protein therapeutics are invaluable in managing numerous diseases, many require frequent injections to maintain therapeutically effective concentrations, due to their short half-life in circulation. PolyXen™, a platform and patented technology employing biodegradable, non-immunogenic and hydrophilic Polysialic Acids (PSA) for drug delivery, is being utilized to overcome such limitations, thereby potentially enabling the clinical utility of a broad range of protein therapeutics. Here, we report the recent progress on two development candidates, polysialylated deoxyribonuclease I (PSA-DNase) and polysialylated erythropoietin (PSA-EPO). Methods and Results: Chemical polysialylation of DNase I (DNase) using PSA with different chain length at various conjugation sites led to improved stability against proteases and thermal stress, and slightly reduced enzymatic activity. Polysialylation of EPO resulted in retention of protein structure and PSA-EPO remained biologically active. PSA-EPO had a significantly prolonged circulating half-life (e.g. t 1/2 of PSA-EPO = ~400 h in patients after subcutaneous administration, aimed for once monthly administration, vs. t 1/2 of EPO = ~22 h
description: administered twice or thrice weekly), and retained in vivo efficacy. Conclusion: This approach has been clinically validated in phase I (in healthy volunteers) and II studies of PSA-EPO [for managing anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD)].

RÉGÉNÉRATION DES NÉPHRIDIES THORACIQUES DE SABELLA PAVONINA SAVIGNY (ANNÉLIDE POLYCHÈTE)
Creators: name: KOECHLIN, Noémi
Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)
Year: 1964

description: The regeneration of the pair of thoracic nephridia of Sabella pavonina begins with two symetrical masses with a mesodermic origin, on the 4th day of existence of the blastema. From the 4th to the 7th sets up a hollow organ which later differentiates into nephrostomia, ciliated branch, nephridian sacking and excretory duct. The later one joins its symetrical duct and opens outsider on the 9th day. The cellular multiplications happens in the coeloma, anterior to the nephrostomia, in the nephrostomia and the ciliated branch, not in the sacking which is made through the sliding of the anterior cells. The extern nephridian layer elaborates itself during its travelling through successive dissepiments and depends on coelomatic cells which are torn from them. The growing of the nephridia is over on the 60th day nearly, when it occupies the totality of the transformed thorax.

description: We initially consider two simple situations where inflationary slow roll parameters are large and modes no longer freeze out shortly after exiting the horizon, treating both cases analytically. We then consider applications to transient phases where the slow roll parameters can become large, especially in the context of the common `fast-roll' inflation frequently used as a mechanism to explain the anomalously low scalar power at low $l$ in the CMB. These transient cases we treat numerically. We find when $ε$, the first slow roll parameter, and only $ε$ is large, modes decay outside the horizon, and when $δ$, the second slow roll parameter, is large, modes grow outside the horizon. When multiple slow roll parameters are large the behavior in general is more complicated, but we nevertheless show in the 'fast-roll' inflation case, modes grow outside the horizon.

LES AMPHIPODES DES FACIÈS SABLEUX INTERTIDAUX DE ROSCOFF. APERÇUS FAUNISTIQUES ET ÉCOLOGIQUES
Creators: name: TOULMOND, André
Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)
Year: 1964

description: The Amphipoda living in the intertidal sandy facies of several localities near RoscofT (Finistère-Nord) are the object of a general faunistic study. 43 species, belonging to the sub-order Gammaridae, are to be found in this area.
Among these, 29 are found only in the sand, the others proceeding accidently or normally from the rocky facies. The observation of the populations, the general conditions and the granulometry authorize to distinguish two types of beaches among those which have been prospected.
The granulometric study shows the existence of 6 types of sand, each of them characterized by the species or the genus Which is there the most abundant: Corophium arenarium sand, Bathyporeia sand, Urothoe brevicornis sand, Ampe- lisca brevicornis sand, Talitrus saltator sand, Leptocheirus pectinatus sand.
The neighbourhood of the rocky facies and the occurrence of Zostera causes, in some cases, a greater abundance of the populations, qualitatively and quantitatively.
The level has a great influence on the distribution of several species. For instance, in the beaches belonging to the first type, the bottom of which is made chiefly of Bathyporeia sand, there is a zonation of the different species of this genus from top to bottom of the beach.

description: With more than 150,000 deaths per year in the US alone, lung cancer has the highest number of deaths for any cancer. These poor outcomes reflect a lack of treatment for the most common form of lung cancer, non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) is the most prevalent subtype of NSCLC, with the main oncogenic drivers being KRAS and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Whereas EGFR blockade has led to some success in lung ADC, effective KRAS inhibition is lacking. KRAS-mutant ADCs are characterized by high levels of gel-forming mucin expression, with the highest mucin levels corresponding to worse prognoses. Despite these well-recognized associations, little is known about roles for individual gel-forming mucins in ADC development causatively. We hypothesized that MUC5AC/Muc5ac, a mucin gene known to be commonly expressed in NSCLC, is crucial in KRAS/Kras-driven lung ADC. We found that MUC5AC was a significant determinant of poor prognosis, especially in patients with KRAS-mutant tumors. In addition, by using mice with lung ADC induced chemically with urethane or transgenically by mutant-Kras expression, we observed significantly reduced tumor development in animals lacking Muc5ac compared with controls. Collectively, these results provide strong support for MUC5AC as a potential therapeutic target for lung ADC, a disease with few effective treatments.

Hypertension, endothelial tyrosine hydroxylase, and hypoxia
Creators: name: Nygren, Johan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: A hypothetical disturbed feedback loop during chronic hypertension, occlusion of vasa vasorum causes infarction of vessel wall and necrosis. The endothelium might interpret the necrotic tissue similar to how it interprets hypoxia, as a cue for failed blood perfusion, and have reflexes to activate the endothelium-adrenaline-heart axis to order the heart to supply blood. The activation of this axis then increases hypertension, worsening the occlusion of vasa vasorum and the infarction of the vessel wall, and this increases the endothelium-adrenaline-heart axis, causing the condition of chronic hypertension.

description: Nitric oxide (NO)-releasing chitosan oligosaccharides were modified with ester functional groups to examine how the mucoadhesive nature of the scaffold impacts the ability of NO to degrade mucins from human bronchial epithelial cell cultures and clinical sputum samples collected from patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Agarose gel electrophoresis experiments indicated that the mucoadhesive NO-releasing chitosan oligosaccharides degraded both the purified mucins and sputum, while control scaffolds (without NO release or mucoadhesive ligands) had no effect on mucin structure. Microscopic observations of sputum treated with the mucoadhesive NO-releasing chitosan oligosaccharide confirmed degradation of the mucin and DNA networks. Similarly, the viscosity and elasticity of sputum were reduced upon treatment with the mucoadhesive NO-releasing chitosan, demonstrating the potential utility of these NO-releasing scaffolds as mucolytic agents.

description: The Search for Extra-terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) using radio telescopes is an area of research that is now more than 50 years old. Thus far, both targeted and wide-area surveys have yet to detect artificial signals from intelligent civilisations. In this paper, I argue that the incidence of co-existing intelligent and communicating civilisations is probably small in the Milky Way. While this makes successful SETI searches a very difficult pursuit indeed, the huge impact of even a single detection requires us to continue the search. A substantial increase in the overall performance of radio telescopes (and in particular future wide-field instruments such as the Square Kilometre Array, SKA), provide renewed optimism in the field. Evidence for this is already to be seen in the success of SETI researchers in acquiring observations on some of the world's most sensitive radio telescope facilities via open, peer-reviewed processes. The increasing interest in the dynamic radio sky, and our ability to detect new and rapid transient phenomena such as Fast Radio Bursts (FRB) is also greatly encouraging. While the nature of FRBs is not yet fully understood, I argue they are unlikely to be the signature of distant extra-terrestrial civilisations. As astronomers face a data avalanche on all sides, advances made in related areas such as advanced Big Data analytics, and cognitive computing are crucial to enable serendipitous discoveries to be made. In any case, as the era of the SKA fast approaches, the prospects of a SETI detection have never have been better.

Crustacés Amphipodes des sources hydrothermales : bilan des connaissances
Creators: name: BELLAN-SANTINI, Denise
Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)
Year: 1998

description: Amphipod Crustaceans from hydrothermal vents: present knowledge. Since 1989 several works were devoted to
 Crustacea Amphipoda collected in hydrothermal vents. Twenty six species have been identified and described by different
 authors. Some of them are strictly linked to the hydrothermal vents communities, others are active necrophages with larger
 distribution. The present work attempts to undertake a most complete census and to be as precise as possible in distinguishing
 species harvested in the proximity of fluid emissions or associated with the other organisms living around hydrothermal sites
 or in the surrounding region for both Pacific and Atlantic sites. The number of endemic species is high but it is evident that
 the studied material is often reduced and only a small number of species has been found at multiple sites. Eleven families of
 gammaridean amphipods have so far been found, among those Lysianassidae are particularly well represented, especially in
 the Pacific. Clouds of pardaliscid amphipods and the extreme abundance of the lysianassid Ventiella sulfuris seem to be
 strictly limited to sites in the Pacific. Atlantic sites do not seem to present the same trophic structures. Our present knowledge
 indicates the Atlantic sites seem less rich than the Pacific in both number of species and individuals.
Bell inequalities from group actions: Three parties and non-Abelian groups

description: In a previous publication, we showed how group actions can be used to generate Bell inequalities. The group action yields a set of measurement probabilities whose sum is the basic element in the inequality. The sum has an upper bound if the probabilities are a result of a local, realistic theory, but this bound can be violated if the probabilities come from quantum mechanics. In our first paper, we considered the case of only two parties making the measurements and single-generator groups. Here we show that the method can be extended to three parties, and it can also be extended to non-Abelian groups. We discuss the resulting inequalities in terms of nonlocal games.
