Perception de la discrimination et adaptation psychologique à l'école des adolescents issus de l'immigration : rôle des stratégies du coping, de la socialisation et du soutien parental (2013)

Le monde des adolescents tourne autour de plusieurs axes dont la scolarité occupe une place primordiale. Étant considérée comme un microsystème écologique, l'école contribue à la mise en œuvre du processus d'insertion sociale chez les jeunes, surtout pour ceux qui sont issus de l'immigration. Avec une position identifiée comme ayant un « double handicap », être adolescent et immigré, la question de l'adaptation scolaire des adolescents de la seconde génération devient préoccupante à l'heure actuelle. Dans cette recherche, nous avons étudié deux indicateurs de l'adaptation psychologique, le bien-être à l'école et le stress, auprès de 125 adolescents de 12 à 16 ans provenant de plusieurs groupes culturels (Africains, Américains, Asiatiques, Européens, Maghrébins, Moyen-Orientaux) en les comparant à 131 adolescents Français de souche et en étudiant les influences de la perception de la discrimination sur ces adolescents. Pour cela, nous avons distribué à chaque participant un questionnaire à remplir afin de mesurer leur bien-être et le stress psychologique ainsi que leur discrimination perçue, leurs stratégies de coping, leur perception sur la socialisation et le soutien parental. Nous avons observé certaines différences au niveau du bien-être à l'école entre les jeunes immigrés de la seconde génération et leurs pairs Français de souche. Les résultats ont révélé également les impacts négatifs de la discrimination perçue sur le bien-être et le stress psychologique. Les effets néfastes de la perception de la discrimination sur l'adaptation psychologique sont exacerbés lorsque l'adolescent perçoit un rejet sentimental de la part des parents. Les stratégies de coping proactives et la socialisation parentale, quant à elles, semblent protéger l'adolescent contre le stress lié aux actes discriminatoires.
Is dengue a threat to the blood supply? (2009)

Dengue is the most common arthropod-borne infection worldwide, affecting at least 50 million people every year and endemic in more than 100 countries. The dengue virus is a single-stranded RNA virus with four major serotypes. Infection with one serotype confers homotypic immunity but not heterologous immunity, and secondary infection with another serotype may lead to more severe disease. The major route of transmission occurs through the Aedes aegypti mosquito vector, but dengue has also been transmitted through blood transfusion and organ transplantation. Infection results in a spectrum of clinical illness ranging from asymptomatic infection, undifferentiated fever, dengue fever, dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) to dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Dengue is spreading rapidly to new areas and with increasing frequency of major outbreaks. A trend has also been observed towards increasing age among infected patients. This will impact blood supply availability as more blood donors are deferred because of dengue infection or exposure to infection. The risk of transmission through transfusion of blood from asymptomatic viraemic donors will also increase. Although screening tests for dengue and effective pathogen reduction processes are now available for the blood supply, the value of implementing these costly measures needs to be carefully considered. Demand for platelets and fresh frozen plasma will rise with increasing number of DHF/DSS. Evidence-based guidelines for the clinical use of these blood components in the management of patients with DHF/DSS have not been well established, and inappropriate use will contribute to the challenges faced by blood services.
Production and Purification of Recombinant Human Insulin-like Growth Factor I from Escherichia coli (1994)

A cDNA encoding human insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. IGF-I was produced as a fusion protein with the 288 N-terminal residues of ß-galactosidase by a linker encoding hydroxylamine cleavage recognition sequence. The fusion protein was expressed with isopropyl-1-thio-beta-D-galactoside (IPTG) induction under the control of the inducible tac promotor in the form of insoluble inclusion bodies. After cleavage of the fusion protein with hydroxylamine, the released IGF-I was purified by a cation exchange chromatography, covalent chromatography, and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (rp-HPLC). The identity and purity of the purified IGF-I was confirmed by N-terminal sequence analysis, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and rp-HPLC The biological activity of the purified IGF-I has been demonstrated to be indistinguishable from the native IGF-I in thymidine uptake, protein synthesis and radioreceptor assay.
Study on biological characteristics of Trichiurus lepturus in the Arafura Sea of Indonesia (2009)

The Arafura Sea is one of the major fishing areas for distant-water fishery of China.Based on the data obtained from investigation made by otter board trawl in the Arafura sea of Indonesia during July and October 2008,the biological characteristics of Trichiurus lepturus were studied.The results show that maturity at stageⅡ Ⅲ of the gonad is dominant with percentage of 81.73;the feeding intensity is mainly in class 0 or class 1,totally 70.87%;the female-male ratio is near 1.2:1;the anus length range is 123-650 mm,the dominant length is 283-403 mm,the mean value is 339±31 mm,totally 77.89%;the difference of the distribution of anus length is obvious in the areas of 136.5°N-137.5°N and 6°S-6.5°S;the frequency of male is higher than female's in the dominant anus length grouping.According to the analysis,it can be deduced that the investigation area is the spawning ground for Trichiurus lepturus and still rich in fish resources.
Differential glucose repression in common yeast strains in response to HXK2 deletion (2010)

Under aerobic, high glucose conditions, Saccharomyces cerevisiae exhibits glucose repression and thus a predominantly fermentative metabolism. Here, we show that two commonly used prototrophic representatives of the CEN.PK and S288C strain families respond differently to deletion of the hexokinase 2 (HXK2) - a key player in glucose repression: In CEN.PK, growth rate collapses and derepression occurs on the physiological level, while the S288C descendant FY4 Deltahxk2 still grows like the parent strain and shows a fully repressed metabolism. A CEN.PK Deltahxk2 strain with a repaired adenylate cyclase gene CYR1 maintains repression but not growth rate. A comparison of the parent strain's physiology, metabolome, and proteome revealed higher metabolic rates, identical biomass, and byproduct yields, suggesting a lower Snf1 activity and a higher protein kinase A (PKA) activity in CEN.PK. This study highlights the importance of the genetic background in the processes of glucose signaling and regulation, contributes novel evidence on the overlap between the classical glucose repression pathway and the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway, and might have the potential to resolve some of the conflicting findings existing in the field.

Heat-induced tissue fusion for microvascular anastomosis (1996)

Laser tissue welding was compared with a crude method of bipolar coagulator-generated heat application for achieving the same heat-induced welding effect in rat microarterial anastomoses. Rat femoral arteries were anastomosed with three triangulated stay sutures and subsequent laser welding or bipolar coagulator application between each pair of stitches. Control (non-welded) vessels received nine stitches placed circumferentially. Laser-welded vessel patency at 1 or more days postoperatively was 90% (65/72) for vessels treated with 0.1-second laser pulses, not significantly different from controls (100%; 16/16) or coagulator-welded anastomoses (88%; 14/16). Pseudoaneurysm rates were higher in the welded vessels (9% and 14% for laser- and coagulator-treated vessels, respectively) than in controls (0%). Histologic and electron microscopic evaluation revealed good healing with no apparent differences between laser- and coagulator-welded repairs. These findings suggest that laser application for microvascular tissue welding is similar to poorly controlled welding with a bipolar coagulator.
A new CMOS readout circuit design for the IR FPA with adaptive gain control and current-mode background suppression (2002)

A new CMOS current readout structure for the infrared (IR) focal-plane-array (FPA), called the buffered gate modulation input (BGMI) circuit is proposed and analyzed. The new readout circuit can achieve a high charge sensitivity with the adaptive current gain and has a good immunity from threshold-voltage variations. Moreover, the readout dynamic range is dramatically increased by using a threshold-voltage independent current-mode background suppression technique. The BGMI circuit with current-mode background suppression has been designed and simulated it has been shown that high injection efficiency, high charge sensitivity, high dynamic range, large storage capacity, and low noise performance are achieved in a 50/spl times/50 um/sup 2/ pixel size. These advantageous traits make the BGMI circuit suitable for the applications with a large background current range.
Glutamate Fermentation By-product Activates Plant Defence Responses and Confers Resistance Against Pathogen Infection (2010)

In the food industry, glutamate fermentation by-product (GFB) is generated by purifying glutamate products from microbial fermentation. The potential applications of GFB for upgrading agricultural soil, for foliar fertility, and as plant plankton for shrimp have been studied. We examined the efficacy of GFB foliar application and determined that GFB treatment increased the resistance of Arabidopsis leaves to infection by bacterial pathogens. Microarray gene expression analysis of Arabidopsis leaves after treatment with GFB indicated that the expression of plant defence-related genes increased. In Corynebacterium fermentation, the active substances for induction of the defence response were extracted or solubilized after treatment with heating under acidic conditions. This extract was also effective in strawberry and grape leaves for the induction of hydrogen peroxide production. These findings suggest that foliar application of GFB that contains elicitor molecules derived from fermentation bacteria is useful for plant protection in agricultural fields.

Growth, disorder, and physical properties of ZnSnN2 (2013)

We examine ZnSnN2, a member of the class of materials contemporarily termed “earth-abundant element semiconductors,” with an emphasis on evaluating its suitability for photovoltaic applications. It is predicted to crystallize in an orthorhombic lattice with an energy gap of 2 eV. Instead, using molecular beam epitaxy to deposit high-purity, single crystal as well as highly textured polycrystalline thin films, only a monoclinic structure is observed experimentally. Far from being detrimental, we demonstrate that the cation sublattice disorder which inhibits the orthorhombic lattice has a profound effect on the energy gap, obviating the need for alloying to match the solar spectrum.
The development of a video database for language educational research projects (2007)

The analysis of classroom observation data is seen as increasingly important in research on the impact of high‐stakes language tests or new foreign‐language programmes on students, teachers and other stakeholders. Video‐recordings of language teaching and learning in classrooms impacted by such tests or programmes can provide revealing data, which, however, may be difficult to analyse in raw recorded form. The organisation of video‐recordings into an interactive database facilitates the retrieval and analysis of data in response to particular research questions. Informed by current research on the use of video in education, especially educational research, and by the relevant video database literature, this paper describes a video database developed by the University of Cambridge English for Speakers of Other Languages (Cambridge ESOL) Examinations operation, part of Cambridge Assessment, the new identity of the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES). This paper describes three Cambridge ESOL impact studies for which the data were collected, and discusses the video‐recording equipment used, approaches adopted and decisions made. It then outlines the aims, principles and approaches involved in the development of the impact research video database, including software selection, main design features and envisaged future uses. A step‐by‐step account for the likely video database user is included, along with sample screenshots.
Transient Rechargeable Batteries Triggered by Cascade Reactions (2015)

Transient battery is a new type of technology that allows the battery to disappear by an external trigger at any time. In this work, we successfully demonstrated the first transient rechargeable batteries based on dissoluble electrodes including V2O5 as the cathode and lithium metal as the anode as well as a biodegradable separator and battery encasement (PVP and sodium alginate, respectively). All the components are robust in a traditional lithium-ion battery (LIB) organic electrolyte and disappear in water completely within minutes due to triggered cascade reactions. With a simple cut-and-stack method, we designed a fully transient device with an area of 0.5 cm by 1 cm and total energy of 0.1 J. A shadow-mask technique was used to demonstrate the miniature device, which is compatible with transient electronics manufacturing. The materials, fabrication methods, and integration strategy discussed will be of interest for future developments in transient, self-powered electronics. The demonstration of a miniature Li battery shows the feasibility toward system integration for all transient electronics.
MicroRNA Profiling Implies New Markers of Chemoresistance of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (2014)

The abnormal expression miRNAs in TNBC are mainly chemoresistance related. This might be part of reason that TNBC likely to evade from chemotherapy resulting in early relapse and high risk of death. To alter their expression status might be a potential therapeutic strategy to improve the outcome of chemotherapy for TNBC patients.
Analysis and evaluation on fatty acid compositions of wild oil source plants rich in linolenic acids in Changbai Mountain area (2012)

To evaluate the fatty acid compositions of oil-source plants rich in linolenic acids in Changbai Mountain area, the seed oils from wild Manchurian Walnut, Korean Pine, Elderberry, Purple Perilla and Evening Primose were extracted by supercritical CO 2 fluid extraction and their fatty acids were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method. The results showed that six fatty acids were determined as palmic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid and linolenic acid; Linolenic acid from above seed oils distributed from 7%–60%, the highest content belonged to Purple Perilla; To unsaturated fatty acids, the highest content belonged to Manchurian Walnut; To essential fatty acid, the highest content belonged to Evening Primose. Manchurian Walnut, Korean Pine and Elderberry belonged to the same cluster by Hierarchical cluster analysis. The analysis and evaluations on the fatty acid compositions of oil from these plants should lay a basis for the further research on these plants exploitation.

Dissolved gas measurements in oceanic waters made by membrane inlet mass spectrometry (2005)

A method is presented for the shipboard analysis of dissolved gases (O2, CO2, Ar, N2, H2S, dimethylsulfide) in oceanic waters using membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS). Gases are extracted from seawater across a semipermeable membrane into the ion source of the mass spectrometer. The method can be used to simultaneously measure both major and trace gases in seawater samples in near real-time. In the case of DMS, low nmol L−1 detection limits can be achieved without any concentration step. Multiple calibration and method comparison exercises conducted in the subarctic Pacific Ocean show that the MIMS method provides gas measurements that are consistent with those obtained by standard techniques, with precision of replicate samples ranging from less than 1% to approximately 5% coefficient of variation (CV). To illustrate the usefulness of the MIMS approach, depth profiles are presented for O2, CO2, N2, and DMS at various coastal and open ocean stations in the subarctic Pacific. In addition to these discrete gas measurements, the MIMS system has also been used to continuously monitor gas concentrations along underway transects. High frequency gas measurements of O2, CO2, and DMS made along two coastal transects reveal a high degree of spatial and temporal variability in gas concentrations, likely resulting from the interplay of various biological, chemical, and physical forcings. The underway MIMS data provide insight into the biogeochemical controls on gas cycling in dynamic marine waters.
Investigation of the effects of heparin and low molecular weight heparin on E-cadherin and laminin expression in rat pregnancy by immunohistochemistry (2006)

Heparin and enoxaparin can reduce E-cadherin expression but not laminin expression in rat pregnancy. They might modulate trophoblast invasion. We suggest that this is the possible underlying mechanism involving in improvement of trophoblast invasion by the use of heparin and LMWH in patients with the history of miscarriage.
Distribution of 11q23 breakpoints within the MLL breakpoint cluster region in de novo acute leukemia and in treatment-related acute myeloid leukemia: correlation with scaffold attachment regions and topoisomerase II consensus binding sites (1996)

A major unresolved question for 11q23 translocations involving MLL is the chromosomal mechanism(s) leading to these translocations. We have mapped breakpoints within the 8.3-kb BamHI breakpoint cluster region in 31 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) de novo and in 8 t-AML patients. In 23 of 31 leukemia de novo patients, MLL breakpoints mapped to the centromeric half (4.57 kb) of the breakpoint cluster region, whereas those in eight de novo patients mapped to the telomeric half (3.87 kb). In contrast, only two t-AML breakpoints mapped in the centromeric half, whereas six mapped in the telomeric half. The difference in distribution of the leukemia de novo breakpoints is statistically significant (P = .02). A similar difference in distribution of breakpoints between de novo patients and t-AML patients has been reported by others. We identified a low- or weak-affinity scaffold attachment region (SAR) mapping just centromeric to the breakpoint cluster region, and a high-affinity SAR mapping within the telomeric half of the breakpoint cluster region. Using high stringency criteria to define in vitro vertebrate topoisomerase II (topo II) consensus sites, one topo II site mapped adjacent to the telomeric SAR, whereas six mapped within the SAR. Therefore, 74% of leukemia de novo and 25% of t-AML breakpoints map to the centromeric half of the breakpoint cluster region map between the two SARs; in contrast, 26% of the leukemia de novo and 75% of the t-AML patient breakpoints map to the telomeric half of the breakpoint cluster region that contains both the telomeric SAR and the topo II sites. Thus, the chromatin structure of the MLL breakpoint cluster region may be important in determining the distribution of the breakpoints. The data suggest that the mechanism(s) leading to translocations may differ in leukemia de novo and in t-AML.
Extracting Semantics Relationships between Wikipedia Categories. (2006)

The Wikipedia is the largest online collaborative knowledge sharing system, a free encyclopedia. Built upon traditional wiki architectures, its search capabilities are limited to title and full-text search. We suggest that semantic information can be extracted from Wikipedia by analyzing the links between categories. The results can be used for building a semantic schema for Wikipedia which could improve its search capabilities and provide contributors with meaningful suggestions for editing the Wikipedia pages. We analyze relevant measures for inferring the semantic relationships between page categories of Wikipedia. Experimental results show that Connectivity Ratio positively correlates with the semantic connection strength.
Pendrin, an anion exchanger on lung epithelial cells, could be a novel target for lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury mice. (2016)

Pendrin may be involved in pathological process of LPS-induced ALI. Inhibition of the pendrin function could be used to treat ALI. Airway epithelial cell may be a valuable therapeutic target for discovering and developing new drugs and/or new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of ALI/ARDS.
