Les frontiers de Leach au prisme des migrations birmanes ou penser la société en mouvement (2011)

À partir de deux migrations « birmanes », l’objectif de cet article est de rendre compte des mouvements affectant la société birmane. La migration n’est pas envisagée ici comme un acte fondateur mais comme un processus créateur de continuités et de discontinuités sociales. Elle nous permet d’étudier des « tensions » se créant entre la société d’origine des migrants et la société locale, ces « tensions » étant le résultat de l’appropriation de nouveaux environnements écologiques, socioculturels et ethniques. Mon hypothèse est que la continuité nécessaire entre la société d’origine et la société d’arrivée mobilise des structures sociales que la migration permet de révéler. Les discontinuités inhérentes au processus de socialisation des environnements conquis révèlent quant à elles des frontières de différentes natures (écologique, d’organisation sociale, culturelle, ethnique) permettant de structurer le paysage social. La relation birmane au kyé’zu’shin est ici mise en valeur comme structure de la continuité et puissant vecteur de birmanisation et de bouddhisation du delta de l’Irrawaddy. À l’extrême sud de la Birmanie, cette relation se transpose à celle de tokè et se modifie au contact des Moken (nomades d’origine austronésienne) entraînant des interactions agissant à la fois comme le creuset d’une différenciation sociale et le vecteur d’intégration de l’environnement insulaire à l’espace social birman.
181 Evaluation of feeding arginine in gestation and lactation on sow and litter performance (2019)

Abstract Two hundred sows (Camborough, PIC, Hendersonville, TN) at d 35 post-breeding were enrolled into one of four treatments to assess the required arginine level for sow reproduction. For gilts, the grams of arginine and standardized ileal digestibility (SID) per treatment consisted of: 102 g/0.69% (T1), 107 g/0.73% (T2), 112 g/0.77% (T3), and 121 g/0.83% (T4). For sows, grams of arginine and SID per treatment consisted of: 102 g/0.69% (T1), 107 g/0.73% (T2), 111 g/0.76% (T3), and 119 g/0.81% (T4). The lactation grams of arginine SID per treatment consisted of: 168 g/1.14% (T1), 176 g/1.20% (T2), 186 g/1.27% (T3), and 201 g/1.37% (T4). All diets were formulated to meet or exceed NRC. Sows were weighed farrowing and weaning weights, daily feed intake, and individual piglet and litter weights were collected. Data were analyzed as a randomized complete block design with parity as the block using the PROC MIXED procedure of SAS with the sow being the experimental unit. The feeding of different levels of SID arginine did not affect (P &gt; 0.05) sow average daily feed intake, wean-to-estrus interval, or stillborn percent. Increasing SID arginine resulted in a linear increase (P = 0.04) in sow weaning weights (-4.41, -3.44, -4.40, and 0.61). Increasing SID arginine resulted in a tendency for a linear decrease in percent bred (100.00, 100.00, 100.00, 95.83, P = 0.06) and pre 48-hr mortality (7.58, 5.12, 4.35, 5.86, P = 0.10). Increasing levels of SID arginine resulted in no differences in piglet growth characteristics or removal or mortality percentage. Overall, the feeding of increasing levels of SID arginine resulted in improved sow weight at the time of weaning.
Frequency analysis of task evoked pupillary response and eye-movement (2004)

This paper describes the influence of eye blinks on frequency analysis and power spectrum difference for task-evoked pupillography and eye-movement during an experiment which consisted of ocular following tasks and oral calculation tasks with three levels of task difficulty: control, 1×1,and 1×2 digit oral calculation.The compensation model for temporal pupil size based on MLP (multi layer perceptron) was trained to detect a blink and to estimate pupil size by using blinkless pupillary change and artificial blink patterns. The PSD (power spectrum density) measurements from the estimated pupillography during oral calculation tasks show significant differences, and the PSD increased with task difficulty in the area of 0.1 - 0.5Hz and 1.6 - 3.5Hz, as did the average pupil size.The eye-movement during blinks was corrected manually, to remove irregular eye-movements such as saccades. The CSD (cross spectrum density) was achieved from horizontal and vertical eye-movement coordinates. Significant differences in CSDs among experimental conditions were examined in the area of 0.6 - 1.5 Hz. These differences suggest that the task difficulty affects the relationship between horizontal and vertical eye-movement coordinates in the frequency domain.
An on-chip CMOS relaxation oscillator with power averaging feedback using a reference proportional to supply voltage (2009)

On-chip reference oscillators are required for low-cost single-chip applications including biomedical sensors, microcomputers, high-speed interfaces such as DDR l/F and HDMI (for initial negotiation), and SoCs. RC oscillators (including relaxation oscillators) were developed to realize on-chip oscillators with standard CMOS processes. In this paper, a power-averaging feedback (PAF) concept for accurate oscillators with low power and small area is presented.

Identification of collagen in synovial fluid (1969)

Abstract Collagen fibrils have been identified by electron microscopy and hydroxyproline assay in synovial fluid sediments from patients with a variety of joint diseases. Phase contrast and polarized light microscopy alone proved inadequate to distinguish these fibrils from fibrin strands. The potential sources and significance of the presence of collagen fibrils in synovial fluid sediments are discussed.
THE LYSIS OF GROUP A HEMOLYTIC STREPTOCOCCI BY EXTRACELLULAR ENZYMES OF STREPTOMYCES ALBUS (1952)

The lysis of group A hemolytic streptococci by extracellular enzymes of Streptomyces albus has been studied. The most favorable material for fractionation of the lytic enzymes was obtained by surface growth on shallow layers of liquid medium containing an acid hydrolysate of casein, glucose, and salts. The results of fractionation experiments show that the potent proetolytic enzyme of Streptomyces albus is not able to lyse group A streptococci, and that the initiation of lysis is dependent upon the action of a second, non-proteolytic enzyme. The nature of the non-proteolytic enzyme has not been determined. It does not appear to be a ribonuclease or a lysozyme-like enzyme.
A web interface to parallel program source code archetypes (1995)

This paper describes a set of tools for annotating and exploring program source code on the World Wide Web (WWW). These tools are part of a project to build an electronic textbook for parallel programming that exploits the Caltech Archetypes model of program construction. The tools provide a simple way for Fortran, HPF and C++ programmers to add special annotations to source codes that allow the source code to be converted automatically into WWW hypertext documents. In addition, special compiler based tools examine the source code and discover all subroutine call sites and automatically build the hypertext links to the appropriate subroutine definitions. In the case of parallel C++, a complete class browser has been constructed in HTML and the compiler based tools generates the data base of application specific type and program information.
Association Between Migraine Comorbidity and Psychiatric Symptoms Among People With Newly Diagnosed Focal Epilepsy (2021)

Among a sample of patients with newly diagnosed focal epilepsy, 21.2% had migraine. Migraine comorbidity was associated with higher incidence of depressive symptoms. Future studies should be performed to better assess these relationships and possible treatment implications.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli Heat-Stable Toxin Increases the Rate of Zinc Release from Metallothionein and Is a Zinc- and Iron-Binding Peptide (2020)

Enterotoxigenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> (ETEC) is a major diarrheal pathogen in children in low- to middle-income countries. Previous studies have identified heat-stable enterotoxin (ST)-producing ETEC as one of the major diarrhea-causing pathogens in children younger than five years. In this study, we examined iron and zinc binding by both human and porcine ST variants and determined how host metallothionein could detoxify ST. We found that ST purified from ETEC culture supernatants eluted as a doublet during C<sub>18</sub> reverse-phase chromatography. Leading edge fractions of the ST doublet were found to be devoid of iron, while trailing edge fractions of the ST doublet were found to contain measurable iron. Next, we found that purified ST could be reconstituted with iron under reducing and anaerobic conditions, and iron-bound ST attenuated the induction of cGMP in T84 epithelial cells. Moreover, we demonstrated that supernatants of ETEC 214-4 grown under increasing iron concentrations were only able to induce cGMP at iron concentrations greater than 5 μM. <i>In vitro</i> studies also demonstrated that ST binds zinc, and once bound, zinc removal from ST required denaturing conditions. Zinc-bound ST also failed to induce cGMP. We found that ST contributes disulfide bonds to the perceived oxidized glutathione pool, increases the rate of zinc release from metallothionein, and can be detoxified by metallothionein. Lastly, we showed ST induces transcriptional changes in genes previously shown to be regulated by deferoxamine. These studies demonstrate ST ETEC pathogenesis may be tied intimately to host mucosal metal status.<b>IMPORTANCE</b> Enterotoxigenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> (ETEC) is a major diarrheal pathogen in children in low- to middle-income countries, deployed military personnel, and travelers to regions of endemicity. The heat-stable toxin (ST) is a small nonimmunogenic secreted peptide with 3 disulfide bonds. It has been appreciated that dietary disulfides modulate intestinal redox potential and that ST could be detoxified using exogenous reductants. Using biochemical and spectroscopic approaches, we demonstrated that ST can separately bind iron and zinc under reducing conditions, thereby reducing ST toxicity. Moreover, we demonstrated that ST modulates the glutathione (GSH)/oxidized glutathione (GSSG) ratio and that ST should be considered a toxin oxidant. ST can be detoxified by oxidizing zinc-loaded metallothionine, causing free zinc to be released. These studies help lay a foundation to understand how diarrheal pathogens modulate intestinal redox potential and may impact how we design therapeutics and/or vaccines for the pathogens that produce them.
Wetting-Induced Polyelectrolyte Pore Bridging (2021)

Active layers of ion separation membranes often consist of charged layers that retain ions based on electrostatic repulsion. Conventional fabrication of these layers, such as polyelectrolyte deposition, can in some cases lead to excess coating to prevent defects in the active layer. This excess deposition increases the overall membrane transport resistance. The study at hand presents a manufacturing procedure for controlled polyelectrolyte complexation in and on porous supports by support wetting control. Pre-wetting of the microfiltration membrane support, or even supports with larger pore sizes, leads to ternary phase boundaries of the support, the coating solution, and the pre-wetting agent. At these phase boundaries, polyelectrolytes can be complexated to form partially freestanding selective structures bridging the pores. This polyelectrolyte complex formation control allows the production of membranes with evenly distributed polyelectrolyte layers, providing (1) fewer coating steps needed for defect-free active layers, (2) larger support diameters that can be bridged, and (3) a precise position control of the formed polyelectrolyte multilayers. We further analyze the formed structures regarding their position, composition, and diffusion dialysis performance.

Perceptual effects of noise reduction by time-frequency masking of noisy speech (2012)

Time-frequency masking is a method for noise reduction that is based on the time-frequency representation of a speech in noise signal. Depending on the estimated signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), each time-frequency unit is either attenuated or not. A special type of a time-frequency mask is the ideal binary mask (IBM), which has access to the real SNR (ideal). The IBM either retains or removes each time-frequency unit (binary mask). The IBM provides large improvements in speech intelligibility and is a valuable tool for investigating how different factors influence intelligibility. This study extends the standard outcome measure (speech intelligibility) with additional perceptual measures relevant for noise reduction: listening effort, noise annoyance, speech naturalness, and overall preference. Four types of time-frequency masking were evaluated: the original IBM, a tempered version of the IBM (called ITM) which applies limited and non-binary attenuation, and non-ideal masking (also tempered) with two different types of noise-estimation algorithms. The results from ideal masking imply that there is a trade-off between intelligibility and sound quality, which depends on the attenuation strength. Additionally, the results for non-ideal masking suggest that subjective measures can show effects of noise reduction even if noise reduction does not lead to differences in intelligibility.
Performance characterization of digital power division multiplexed transmission in fundamental mode of few-mode fiber (2020)

We experimentally demonstrate 25.33 Gbps digital power division multiplexed DD-OFDM transmission in 6.5 GHz bandwidth through 5.3 km few mode fiber to enable higher split-ratio and better spectral efficiency in short-haul links.
A Standardized Method for 4D Ultrasound-Guided Peripheral Nerve Blockade and Catheter Placement (2014)

We present a standardized method for using four-dimensional ultrasound (4D US) guidance for peripheral nerve blocks. 4D US allows for needle tracking in multiple planes simultaneously and accurate measurement of the local anesthetic volume surrounding the nerve following injection. Additionally, the morphology and proximity of local anesthetic spread around the target nerve is clearly seen with the described technique. This method provides additional spatial information in real time compared to standard two-dimensional ultrasound.
Fingerprinting of anti-alpha enolase antibodies in systemic sclerosis. (2020)

Anti-alpha enolase antibodies are very frequent in SSc but are not associated with clinical or serological features of the disease. Further studies on larger cohorts of patients are necessary to define their possible contribution in defining specific subsets of the disease.
Effects of joint macrocell and residential picocell deployment on the network energy efficiency (2008)

Rising energy costs and the recent international focus on climate change issues has resulted in a high interest in improving the energy efficiency in the telecommunications industry. In this paper the effects of a joint deployment of macrocells for area coverage and publicly accessible residential picocells on the total energy consumption of the network is investigated. The decreasing energy efficiency of todaypsilas macrocellular technologies with increasing user demand for high data rates is discussed. It is shown that a joint deployment of macro- and publicly accessible residential picocells can reduce the total energy consumption by up to 60% in an urban area with todaypsilas technology. Furthermore the impact of future technologies for both macro- and femtocells on the energy efficiency is investigated. It is shown that the benefits of a joint macro- and picocell deployment will increase further as both technologies mature, and will result in a significant reduction of the network energy consumption as the user demand for high data rates increases.
Portugal (1998)

Portugal comprises distinct geographical zones, a mountainous in the north, a lowland in the south, the dividing line being the river Tagus. The principal urban centres, Coimbra, Lisbon, Oporto and Silves, were riverside communities, as were many lesser settlements with a history of fishing, shipbuilding and maritime enterprise. The consciousness of Portuguese nationalism, portuguesismo, awoke with war: the battle of Aljubarrota, elaborately reported by chroniclers and further exalted by myth, marked its birth. Of all the elements forming Portuguese political structures, the royal office was the most important. Joäo I secured for the crown in 1402, when all cities came to be recognised as belonging to the crown; only Braga, seat of the primate of Portugal, eventually had its former independence restored, reverting to archiepiscopal control. The two reigns of Joäo I and Duarte reveal coherent continuity, a result of the fact that Duarte was associated with his father's rule in the last third of the latter's very long reign.
The Role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Investigation and Management of Invasive Lobular Carcinoma-A 3-Year Retrospective Study in Two District General Hospitals (2016)

Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) accounts for 5-15% of breast cancers. In comparison to other types of breast cancer, ILC is more likely to be associated with multifocal and contralateral breast involvement as well as a tendency to a diffuse infiltrative growth pattern which can represent a diagnostic challenge. The National Institute of Clinical Excellence guidelines in 2009 recommended the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the preoperative assessment of ILC. This study aims to assess compliance with the guidelines in two District General Hospitals and the utility of MRI in the investigation of ILC. All cases of ILC between 2011 and 2013 were retrospectively identified from the pathology database and their breast imaging findings, pathology report, and operative intervention were reviewed. A total of 126 patients were identified with ILC, of these 46 had MRI preoperatively (36.5%). MRI upgraded mammography/ultrasound diagnoses in 10 patients (21.7%). MRI showed multicentric unilateral disease in 17 patients (37.0%) occult on ultrasound/mammogram, with these patients undergoing mastectomy and 16/17 (94.1%) confirmed multifocality on pathology. MRI showed a contralateral lesion in 9 patients (19.6%), four (8.7%) of which were malignant and had bilateral surgery, and five (10.9%) were benign on further imaging/biopsy. MRI also downgraded three patients (6.5%) to unifocal disease with reported multifocal appearances on mammography/ultrasound, and these patients underwent breast-conserving surgery. MRI adds significant additional information to mammograms/ultrasound in ILC and should be undertaken in all such cases preoperatively assuming no contraindication.
Total internal reflection-based planar waveguide solar concentrator with symmetric air prisms as couplers (2014)

We present a waveguide coupling approach for planar waveguide solar concentrator. In this approach, total internal reflection (TIR)-based symmetric air prisms are used as couplers to increase the coupler reflectivity and to maximize the optical efficiency. The proposed concentrator consists of a line focusing cylindrical lens array over a planar waveguide. The TIR-based couplers are located at the focal line of each lens to couple the focused sunlight into the waveguide. The optical system was modeled and simulated with a commercial ray tracing software (Zemax). Results show that the system used with optimized TIR-based couplers can achieve 70% optical efficiency at 50 × geometrical concentration ratio, resulting in a flux concentration ratio of 35 without additional secondary concentrator. An acceptance angle of ± 7.5° is achieved in the x-z plane due to the use of cylindrical lens array as the primary concentrator.
Repurposing the Native Type I-F CRISPR-Cas System in Pseudomonas aeruginosa for Genome Editing (2020)

Repurposing the broadly distributed native CRISPR-Cas systems in prokaryotes for genome editing is emerging as a new strategy for genetic manipulations. We recently reported the establishment of a single plasmid-mediated, one-step genome-editing technique in a multidrug-resistant genotype of the opportunistic pathogen <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> by harnessing its endogenous type I-F CRISPR-Cas system. The platform is readily applicable in additional type I-F CRISPR-containing clinical and environmental <i>P. aeruginosa</i> isolates. Herein, we provide the detailed protocol for the methodology. For complete details on the establishment and exploitation of this protocol, please refer to Xu et al. (2019).
