Figures de l’aventurière dans The Eustace Diamonds, d’Anthony Trollope (1873) : le refoulement d’un retour by Jacqueline Fromonot

“…This study first undertakes to assess the influence of the Thackerayan paradigm on Trollope’s creation. The two novelists indeed portray female adventurers — manipulative, immoral social climbers and materialistic, merciless predators, as is made particularly obvious with Lizzie’s intention to keep her husband’s inheritance, the eponymous jewels.Secondly, the resurgence of a former model in Trollope appears through the aesthetic treatment of the heroine, which relies on semantic fields that already pervade Thackeray’s novel — the animalization of the two deceitful characters and the theatricality of their behaviour. …”

Exploitation des données de diagnostics en tranchées mécaniques par l’analyse spatiale by Sylvain Badey, Xavier Rodier

“…The aim of this methods is to overcome the division imposed by the trial trenches, and consider the whole area.Results show that it is possible to test interpretive hypothesis on the distribution of the remains. Indeed spatial analysis reveals patterns by periods, confronted to the essential archaeological interpretation. …”

Adaptive Control Design for Human Handwriting Process Based on Electromyography Signals by Imane Mahmoud, Ines Chihi, Afef Abdelkrim

“…Both cases have presented unsatisfactory results in generating cursive letters and forms. Indeed, we propose, as a second approach, an adaptive PI controller with varying Integral Ki gain, according to EMG signals, in order to deal with operation changes.…”

What if writing rock history was also writing with “ifs”? Or how Lester Bangs liked playing a trick on his reader’s perception of time by Maud Berthomier

“…In other words—as a tour de force—not only did it allow a wide variety of time-distortions, but it also reoriented the reader’s attention from history to fiction. What if indeed, writing rock history was also writing with “ifs”? …”

Ecrire et souffrir : L’inspiration partagée de Constance Fenimore Woolson et de Henry James by Jeannine Hayat

“…Henry James probably had in mind Miss Grief, a story by his dead friend, before writing some of his books. Indeed, Woolson had been the first to develop the image of “the figure in the carpet,” which was later transformed by Henry James. …”

Evaluation of Glucose Uptake in Normal and Cancer Cell Lines by Positron Emission Tomography by Francesca Maddalena, Giacomo Lettini, Rosj Gallicchio, Lorenza Sisinni, Vittorio Simeon, Anna Nardelli, Angela Assunta Venetucci, Giovanni Storto, Matteo Landriscina

“…Human colon and breast carcinoma cell lines and mouse embryo fibroblasts were evaluated for [ 18 F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([ 18 F]FDG) uptake by PET and autoradiography and 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) incorporation by colorimetric assay and analyzed for the radiotoxic effects of [ 18 F]FDG and the expression levels of glucose transporters. Indeed, [ 18 F]FDG incorporation on PET was comparable to [ 18 F]FDG uptake by autoradiography and 2-DG incorporation by colorimetric assay, although radiotracer-based methods exhibited more pronounced differences between individual cell lines. …”

Linking Epigenetics to Human Disease and Rett Syndrome: The Emerging Novel and Challenging Concepts in MeCP2 Research by Robby Mathew Zachariah, Mojgan Rastegar

“…While MeCP2 was originally found to bind methylated DNA and interact with repressor complexes to inhibit and silence its genomic targets, recent studies have challenged this idea. Indeed, depending on its interacting protein partners and target genes, MeCP2 can act either as an activator or as a repressor. …”

Chemigenetic Ca2+ indicators report elevated Ca2+ levels in endothelial Weibel-Palade bodies. by Julian Terglane, Nicole Mertes, Sarah Weischer, Thomas Zobel, Kai Johnsson, Volker Gerke

“…Here, we employed a chemigenetic approach to circumvent the problems of Ca2+ imaging in an acidic environment and show that WPB indeed also harbor elevated Ca2+ concentrations. We also show that depletion of the Golgi resident Ca2+ pump ATP2C1 resulted in only a minor decrease of luminal Ca2+ in WPB suggesting additional mechanisms for Ca2+ uptake into the organelle.…”

Marie Corelli, Wormwood, and the Diversity of Decadence by Jessica DeCoux

“…Her great popularity and the apparently moralistic elements of her work have excluded her from the ranks of the fin-de-siècle British Decadents, a group (such as it exists) traditionally defined by its rejection of mainstream middle-class values and its desire to appeal to a select readership of aesthetically-minded intellectuals. Indeed, Corelli’s novel Wormwood is generally read as an anti-Decadent creed, or at the very least a novel which disingenuously castigates Decadence while titillating readers with themes and tropes “co-opted” from works of that genre.In fact, Wormwood is so often read in these terms because it eludes easy interpretation, a quality that marks it as a distinctly Decadent text. …”

Indeed, MHC and costimulatory molecule up-regulation was inhibited in immature DC, whereas apoptotic phenomena were favored in mature DC and consequently in responder T cells. …”
