Animal Species Identification in Historical Parchments by Continuous Wavelet Transform–Convolutional Neural Network Classifier Applied to Ultraviolet–Visible–Near-Infrared Spectros... by Nicolas Roy, Henry Pièrard, Julie Bouhy, Alexandre Mayer, Olivier Deparis, David Gravis

“…Our study shows that the animal species signature is encoded in a wide band-convoluted wavelength range rather than in specific narrow bands, implying a complex phenotype expression that influences the light scattering by the material. Indeed, the overall skin composition, in both micro- and macroscopic physicochemical properties, is relevant for animal identification in parchment manuscripts.…”

Le Peire Rogier de Peire d’Alvernhe revisité par l’auteur de Flamenca : Guillem de Nevers, le troubadour au psautier by Katy Bernard

“…It seems that the author of Flamenca had fun fusing the troubadour Peire Rogier into his character in order to have him follow Peire d’Alvernhe’s advice, but redirecting the satire – which was aimed at the troubadour in the song –, towards the religious and, seemingly, courteous society of his novel : he sets up a particularly ingenious game about the symbolism of the psalter and that of the religious man. Indeed, the author amuses himself by making Guillem a cleric whose ordination has no other reason than the love he feels for Flamenca and by making the holy book the medium in which Guillem is able to foresee ̶ through bibliomancy  ̶ his love for Flamenca ; the medium also by which peace kisses foreshadow love kisses, and over which he exchanges words of love with Flamenca. …”

Prediction of the critical stress to crack initiation associated to the investigation of fatigue small crack by D. Marhabi, N. Benseddiq, G. Mesmacque, Z. Azari, J.M. Nianga

“…When the short cracks are hidden in the material, we shows that the number  cycles during small crack growth be significantly higher (Fig. 4) than the corresponding cycles of large cracks growth (ONI’s fatigue test) for the same physically crack size. Indeed its evolution can be blocked by a microstructural barrier (grain boundary, for example). …”

Some problems of investigating street fraud and the ways to solve them by K. D. Zaiats

“…In addition, in the context of open criminal proceedings, it is very difficult to form a system of evidence of the existence of a criminal intention in the actions of a fraudsters. Indeed, unlike other crimes, they are reflected not so much in material traces as in acts of intellectual nature: the reporting of false information, the use of fictitious documents, specific attributes, and many others. …”

The Mast Cell-Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Interplay at the Host-Microbe Interface by Claudio Costantini, Giorgia Renga, Vasilis Oikonomou, Giuseppe Paolicelli, Monica Borghi, Marilena Pariano, Antonella De Luca, Matteo Puccetti, Claudia Stincardini, Paolo Mosci, Andrea Bartoli, Teresa Zelante, Luigina Romani

“…Among the environmental components able to mold mast cells and fine-tune their effector functions, the microorganisms that colonize the human body, collectively known as microbiome, certainly play a key role. Indeed, microorganisms can regulate not only the survival, recruitment, and maturation of mast cells but also their activity by setting the threshold required for the exploitation of their different effector functions. …”

Oxytocin: co-evolution of human and domesticated animals by Yu. E. Herbeck, R. G. Gulevich, D. V. Shepeleva, V. V. Grinevich

“…Recent reports indicated possible contribution of OT to the formation of the social bond between domesticated mammals (dog, sheep, cattle) and humans. Indeed, social interaction between humans and a domesticated animal resulted in the elevation of peripheral OT levels (in blood, saliva or urine) and, in congruence, exogenous (intranasal) OT application led to more frequent contacts between the owner and the domesticated animal. …”
