Le confucianisme et la Chine actuelle : l'héritage de Zhang Dainian (1909-2004) (2011)

<titre>Résumé</titre>Le nouveau retour au confucianisme en Chine continentale depuis la fin des années 1980 est le résultat d’un long processus qui a nécessité des efforts de plusieurs générations de penseurs et de chercheurs. Nous essayons de rendre compte de la richesse et de la diversité de la recherche actuelle en ce domaine, tentée par une synthèse du confucianisme traditionnel et de la philosophie occidentale. L’accent est plus particulièrement mis sur le « nouveau matérialisme » représenté par Zhang Dainian (1909-2004) et quelques-uns de ses disciples.
Pore structure controlling the carbonation of a hardened cement matrix blended with mineral admixture (1999)

The pore size that controls the rate of carbonation of hardened cement matrix is identified. The rate of carbonation of mortar with and without mineral admixture (pulverized fuel ash (PFA) and ground granulated blastfurnace slag (GGBS)) is shown to depend on the total volume of pores having a radius > 450 Å present in the hardened matrix prior to accelerated carbonation. The greater the volume of pores above the critical radius in the hardened matrix prior to accelerated carbonation, the faster is the rate of carbonation, and vice versa. The above relationship also holds for plain cement concrete and concrete blended with PFA and GGBS, as both concrete and mortar of similar type (water/binder (w/b) ratio, PFA or GGBS content) follow an identical carbonation trend. The results of the present study also demonstrate that the rate of carbonation of hardened cement matrix, apart from depending on the total volume of pores having a radius > 450 Å, is also controlled by the parameters (cementitious content, type and proportion of mineral admixture in the mix) that control its alkalinity. The present study also emphasizes the need to precure the hardened cement matrix with and without PFA and GGBS in water for a minimum period of 7 days to minimize the pore volume above the critical radius (> 450 Å), and thereby to optimize the resistance of the matrix to carbonation. The total volume of pores having a radius > 450 Å is also shown to be linearly related to the 7 day compressive strengths of mortar blended with and without PFA and GGBS.

An introduction to arrays (2001)

DNA microarrays are a new technology that allows the analysis of large numbers of genes at a high resolution by the hybridization of labelled DNA, which may be reverse-transcribed from mRNA, to a substrate containing thousands of spotted cDNAs or oligonucleotides. The amount of hybridized target is analysed, giving information on gene expression, polymorphisms or mutations present and allowing the gene profiling of different subtypes of disease. This technique has massive implications for the further understanding of the complicated genetic alterations involved in tumourigenesis and other disease processes and also for the generation of accurate prognostic information and optimization of treatment in these situations.
A Specialized Home Care Team Does Make a Difference (1992)

Results of a study done in a large teaching and research facility in Alberta reveal that a specialized home care team can substantially lower the cost of caring for people who are ventilator dependent. With the assistance of a pulmonary physician, the Respiratory Home Care program has shown excellent results. Patients report that they "feel as safe at home as in the hospital", and the savings to the health care system are estimated to be about $2,000,000 per year.

Efficacy of Imiquimod Cream Administered Intraperitoneally for Ovarian Metastases in Colorectal Cancer (2016)

In this case report, we sought to determine the efficacy of intraperitoneal Imiquimod cream for the treatment of persistent ovarian metastases in colorectal cancer after Avastin-based chemotherapy failure. Topical Imiquimod cream is an immune response modifier. It could trigger skin Langerhan cells (naive dendritic cells) as the priming responsive cell type and initiate a strong Th1-switched anti-tumor cellular immune response. This is a 50-year-old woman with rectal cancer with liver, lung, left adrenal gland and ovarian metastasis, and pelvic carcinomatosis. CEA level decreased after the initial optimal debulking surgery and 12 cycles of chemotherapy. However, CEA level persistently elevated, and CT scan showed progressed carcinomatosis, malignant ascites and diffused metastasis. After intraperitoneal immunomodulatory therapy (IMT) administration with intraperitoneal Interleukin-2 mix Thymoxin on Day 1, and intraperitoneal Imiquimod cream (5% 250 mg in normal saline 2 ml) on Day 2, the amount of drainage ascites gradually decreased, and CEA level dramatically decreased after IMT.

Indoor Mapping and Positioning Using Impulse Radios (2006)

This paper describes a self-localisation technique suitable for impulse radios operating indoors. Given the times of flight (TOFs) of dominant echoes measured in self-to-self radio channels, we present the algorithms to map typical indoor environments comprising four walls in relation to the radio. This is achieved as follows: first, the type of individual echoes, i.e. a single reflection or a double reflection, and the correspondences among them are identified; based on these, substructures of the surrounding environment can be reconstructed; by combining these substructures, a complete 2D map outlining the environment can be derived. When there is more than one radio, mapping information in individual radios can be exchanged and combined to show a more complete representation of the surrounding environment. The technique can be extended to solve more complex scenarios. Index Terms-Radiolocation, Impulse radio, UWB, Mapping
Effects of Temperature on the Accuracy of Aqueous Engine Coolant Freezing Point Determination by Refractometer (1993)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">The refractive index of ethylene and propylene glycol-based coolants is directly proportional to the concentration/freezing point of coolant in aqueous solution. A complicating factor in concentration measurement by refractive index is the temperature dependence of this physical property. The degree of change in refractive index due to changes in temperature is also concentration dependent. Accurate measurements require temperature equilibration between the refractometer, sample and environment. A refractometer which is able to sense temperature and automatically apply a correction factor greatly increases accuracy.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">Data showing the effect of temperature on a range of concentrations of commercial coolants aid pure ethylene and propylene glycol solutions is presented. The method and means of automatic temperature compensation necessary for obtaining the highest degree of accuracy are described.</div>
Renal Endothelial Dysfunction in Diabetic Nephropathy (2014)

Endothelial dysfunction has been posited to play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Due to the heterogeneity of endothelial cells (ECs), it is difficult to generalize about endothelial responses to diabetic stimuli. At present, there are limited techniques fordirectly measuring EC function in vivo, so diagnosis of endothelial disorders still largely depends on indirect assessment of mediators arising from EC injury. In the kidney microcirculation, both afferent and efferent arteries, arterioles and glomerular endothelial cells (GEnC) have all been implicated as targets of diabetic injury. Both hyperglycemia per se, as well as the metabolic consequences of glucose dysregulation, are thought to lead to endothelial cell dysfunction. In this regard, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) plays a central role in EC dysfunction. Impaired eNOS activity can occur at numerous levels, including enzyme uncoupling, post-translational modifications, internalization and decreased expression. Reduced nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability exacerbates oxidative stress, further promoting endothelial dysfunction and injury. The injured ECs may then function as active signal transducers of metabolic, hemodynamic and inflammatory factors that modify the function and morphology of the vessel wall and interact with adjacent cells, which may activate a cascade of inflammatory and proliferative and profibrotic responses in progressive DN. Both pharmacological approaches and potential regenerative therapies hold promise for restoration of impaired endothelial cells in diabetic nephropathy.
Petri nets for modelling and evaluating deterministic and stochastic manufacturing systems (2002)

This paper is dedicated to the modelling and the evaluation of discrete event systems. We focus on manufacturing systems. The first part of the paper concerns cyclic manufacturing systems. The model of such a system is an event graph which encapsulates both the physical and the decision making system models. We propose approaches which aim at maximising the productivity while minimising the Work-In-Process (WIP) in both the deterministic and the stochastic cases. The second part of this paper addresses acyclic manufacturing systems. The Petri net model of such a system is different from the Petri net model of a cyclic system in the sense that only the physical parr of the system and the related constraints are modelled using Petri nets. We show that such a model perfectly fits with a hierarchical management of manufacturing system.
JAK3 associates with the human interleukin 4 receptor and is tyrosine phosphorylated following receptor triggering. (1995)

In human B cells, interleukin 4 (IL4) acts in regulating proliferation, antigen expression, isotype switching and differentiation. These different effects are mediated through the IL4R complex including the IL2R gamma chain (gamma c) and a specific p130/140 binding unit referred below as human Interleukin 4 Receptor (IL4-R). Here, we studied the signal transduction events following IL4R activation and leading to CD23 expression on resting B cells. We demonstrate that IL4R triggering induced the tyrosine phosphorylation of JAK3 and of a p170 protein. Coimmunoprecipitation of JAK3 with the IL4R suggests a physical association which exists prior to IL4R complex stimulation. Orthovanadate treatment, while having no effect on IL4-induced p130 phosphorylation, leads to the hyperphosphorylation of the p170 and inhibits IL4-induced CD23 expression. These suggest that two mandatory steps exist in early IL4 signaling: one controlled by JAK3 activation and the other by the p170 phosphoprotein.
Improved virtual oscillator control for parallel operation inverter systems (2016)

An improved virtual oscillator control for wireless parallel connected inverters was proposed. The inverters with virtual oscillator control in parallel system are equal to the oscillator itself. Oscillator model is given by digital controller. Optimize the topology and control function of the oscillator, achieved the purpose of synchronization. Calculate the output power of oscillator circuit, and the state of power sharing decide compensation amount for load current disturbance, increases the quality of output voltage. Simulation results verify feasibility of the proposed control method.
[Can the tumor stage of prostate carcinoma be determined with the aid of prostate-specific antigen?]. (1995)

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is known to correlate with tumor grading, tumor volume, and lymph node and osseous metastases. If PSA concentrations exceed 20 ng/ml, the risk of extracapsular tumor extension increases greatly, and above 50 ng/ml organ-confined disease is extremely rare. Due to a considerable overlap in PSA concentrations between various tumor stages, the prediction of tumor stage with PSA alone is barely possible. In combination with other preoperative diagnostic findings, e.g. digital rectal examination or histological grade in multiple biopsies, the predictive value of PSA in terms of tumor stage determination can be increased to a large extent.
Ellagic Acid and Ellagitannins Affect on Sedimentation in Muscadine Juice and Wine (2002)

A mechanism for the formation of water-insoluble sediments in wines and juices made from red and white muscadine grapes (Vitis rotundifolia) was investigated as a function of processing methodology and storage. Sediments are considered quality defects in muscadine grape products, and their presence may influence consumer acceptability and expansion of retail markets. Processing regimes included both hot (70 degrees C) and cold (25 degrees C) press techniques for wine or juice production, and fermentations in contact with grape skins for 3, 5, and 7 days. Relationships between free ellagic acid (FE), total ellagitannins (ET), and total ellagic acid (TE) concentrations were evaluated initially in each product and in sediments that formed during storage for 50 and 120 days at 20 degrees C. Processing techniques influenced initial concentrations of these compounds and the extent of sediment formation. Following storage, juices generally had higher concentrations of FE in sediments compared to wines, but sedimentation was independent of initial FE or TE concentrations. Decreases in ET were observed for hot-pressed juice and skin-fermented wines after storage indicating their hydrolysis during storage and possible contribution to FE in sediments. However, quantitative analysis of the collected sediments revealed that no more than 12% FE by weight was actually present in the sediments, with the remainder consisting of either unidentified compounds or conjugated forms of ellagic acid. This work elucidated a potential mechanism for the presence of FE in muscadine wine and juice sediments through ellagitannin hydrolysis and suggests that sedimentation from mechanisms other than ellagic acid precipitation may also contribute to wine and juice quality.
Osteoarthritis antirheumatic drug trials. III. Setting the delta for clinical trials--results of a consensus development (Delphi) exercise. (1992)

Defining the minimum clinically important difference or delta to be detected in a clinical trial depends on a number of factors including the research hypothesis, patient characteristics, the nature of the intervention and the trial design. In 2 studies, we have developed standardized procedures for conducting outcome measurement based on current Food and Drug Administration and European League Against Rheumatism guidelines for osteoarthritis clinical trials, and determined the standard deviation for these outcome measures. In the final component of this series of studies, we have used a Delphi technique to establish estimates for delta, and calculated the sample size requirements under 2 different conditions of Type I and Type II error probabilities.
An Electronic Strain Gauge for Measuring Oral Forces (1948)

N UMEROUS instruments have been devised for measuring the maximum biting force. The literature prior to 1938 has been adequately covered by Brawley and Sedgwick 2 who found thirty-one references to different instruments for measuring biting force. The principles involved in construction of these devices included use of simple levers, springs, manometers or combinations of these principles, and steel ball impressions. Since that date, instruments have been developed by Worner,3 Boos,4 and Losch,' and a technic was suggested by Baker, Brekhus, and Dowell.6 In Worner 's device, the biting force was transmitted from a plunger to a liquid and registered on a pressure gauge. The equipment employed by Losch consisted of a Sylphon bellows through which pressure was applied to a liquid and registered on a manometer. It was similar to the equipment used by Brekhus and Armstrong7 and by Waugh.8 The device prepared by Boos was applicable only for measuring forces between dentures. The technic suggested by Baker, Brekhus, and Dowell are similar in principle to that recommended by Koehler and Etling.9 It seems evident that the most suitable instrument for measuring biting force will be one with the minimum size for the part on which the force is exerted. During actual chewing the teeth are very nearly in contact when the maximum forces are being exerted. For this reason the bite element should be thin enough to permit observations to be made when there are only a few millimeters of bite opening. Of course, a thin basic element can be adapted to experiments where greater bite opening is desired. The element should also be narrow enough to permit measurements to be made on any tooth in the mouth. Furthermore, it would be desirable to have the bite element not connected to heavy or bulky equipment and to have it capable of withstanding sterilization. The completed instrument should have adequate precision. It is interesting that essentially these requirements were set forth by the Rotterdam Dental Society in 1911 in an effort to stimulate development of a suitable instrument.10 Their size requirement was that the bite element should be small enough to enter an aperture 1 cm. square. Regarding precision, they stipulate an error not over six pounds below 120 pounds, and not over twelve pounds between 120 and 330 pounds. There is no record that these requirements were ever met. Many of the instruments which have been reported for measuring oral forces could not be applied to measurements on a single tooth without modification. Those designed by Friel, Black,'2 Johnson and Hatfield,13 Brawley and
The Effect of Annealing Temperature on the Bandgap of Bi<sub>3.25</sub>La<sub>0.75</sub>FeTi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>12</sub> Powders (2015)

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the bandgap engineering of ferroelectric oxides to improve absorbance of the solar spectrum, which is governed by their band gap. To enhance the photovoltaic efficiency by tuning the optical bandgap of complex oxides, an attempt was recently made to reduce the optical band gap of iron doping of lanthanum-modified Bi4TiO12-based oxides (Fe-BLT) using oxygen vacancy doping. To study the tunability of the optical band gap from the generation of oxygen vacancies, the thermal treatment time and temperature were controlled during heat treatment under a vacuum environment. The structural, optical properties of the synthesized podwers were examined by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. Typically, an oxygen vacancy in a complex oxide can alter their structure very easily. On the other hand, the ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra of iron-doped bismuth titanate ceramics under optimal conditions (12 h, 800 °C) showed a decrease in optical bandgap. from 2.02 eV to 1.8 eV without a corresponding change in their crystallographic structure. This study suggests that optimal control of the thermal treatment time and temperature critically effects the optical band gap of complex oxides.
Scanning electron microscopy studies of bone marrow. (1982)

This paper reviews scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations of bone marrow, based on our findings on the marrow of rat femur and tibia. The marrow sinuses are lined by an endothelium, of which the cell juncture is undulated and overlapping. The endothelium is backed by a thin sheet of adventitial cells which is discontinuous because of large perforations. Mature blood cells pass through the discontinuous parts of the adventitial cells and then penetrate the endothelium at its parajunctional zone. Mature megakaryocytes reveal the demarcation membrane system in their cracked surfaces, and its orifices in their surface. The platelet liberation is visualized by a bunch of ribbons projected from a megakaryocyte into the sinus lumen; these ribbons become beaded and then separate into platelets. After puncture perfusion into the parenchyme of marrow, erythroblastic islands can be clearly demonstrated by SEM. Erythroblasts with rhopheocytotic pits are embraced by a nursing cell which, with its filopodia and lamellipodia, corresponds to the macrophage and clearly differs from the reticular cell. The nursing cell differs in size from island to island and occasionally shows indications of cell death. The erythroblasts in an island may be in a uniform maturation stage or in a few different stages. Adipose cells in the marrow are observed and their relation to reticular cells is discussed.
