Mechanistic and Experimental Aspects of the Structural Characterization of Some Model and Real Systems by Nitrogen Sorption and Mercury Porosimetry by Carlos Felipe, Fernando Rojas, Isaac Kornhauser, Matthias Thommes, Giorgio Zgrablich

“…The experimental pore systems examined consisted of two substrates: (a) a globular solid composed of monodisperse silica spheres in a perfect rhombohedral arrangement and (b) a controlled pore glass solid. Comparisons between the experimental nitrogen sorption and mercury porosimetry pore-size distributions demonstrated: (i) the existence of several mechanistic effects responsible of irreversible capillary behaviour that influences the calculation of pore structure parameters; (ii) the choice of the right sorption process (i.e. condensation or evaporation) suitable for comparison with either intrusion or extrusion results; (iii) the types of porous structures capable of convenient pore-size characterization by either nitrogen sorption and/or mercury porosimetry methods; and (iv) the nature of the pore entities (i.e. chambers or necks) that control the incumbent capillary process.…”

Livres muets by Martine Créac’h

“…Known as “Les trois livres”, “Pile de livres” or “Nature morte aux livres”, this engraving is therefore considered a still life, and even the very first still life in European graphic art. However, the arrangement of the three books, and the way the stack is constituted, suggest interrupted reading.Also a poet and publisher, Pierre Lecuire (1922-2013) dreamed of creating a “Tombeau d’Hercules Seghers” with Nicolas de Staël. …”

Effect of Knee Arthritis Therapeutic Apparatus on Structure and NF-κB Inflammatory Pathway in Articular Cartilage of Rabbits with Knee Osteoarthritis by Guangwen WU, Jun CHEN, Caibin PAN, Mingxia WU

“…After 16 weeks, the cartilage morphological changes were observed by HE staining, and the degree of degeneration of cartilage was analyzed according to the Mankin's score, and the positive expression of NF-κB p65, IKK-β and IκB-α were measured by immunohistochemisty.Results:HE staining and Mankin's score showed that the arrangement of articular cartilage structure was improved and cartilage degeneration was reduced in the experiment group. …”

Long-term trends in water level fluctuations in lowland lakes in central Europe (Northern Poland) by Mariusz Ptak, Katarzyna Szyga-Pluta, Mariusz Sojka

“…On the other hand, there is a levelling of the highest levels (only five lakes showed an increasing trend, on average by 5.2 cm per decade) and amplitude of fluctuations. In the spatial arrangement, no clear patterns were recognised in the regional distribution of individual characteristics, and the factors determining water level fluctuations have a local character. …”

Cellular electron tomography of the apical complex in the apicomplexan parasite Eimeria tenella shows a highly organised gateway for regulated secretion. by Alana Burrell, Virginia Marugan-Hernandez, Richard Wheeler, Flavia Moreira-Leite, David J P Ferguson, Fiona M Tomley, Sue Vaughan

“…Using a combination of cellular electron tomography and serial block face-scanning electron microscopy (SBF-SEM) we have reconstructed the entire apical end of Eimeria tenella sporozoites; we report a detailed dissection of the three- dimensional organisation of the conoid and show there is high curvature of the tubulin-containing fibres that might be linked to the unusual comma-shaped arrangement of protofilaments. We quantified the number and location of rhoptries and micronemes within cells and show a highly organised gateway for trafficking and docking of rhoptries, micronemes and microtubule-associated vesicles within the conoid around a set of intra-conoidal microtubules. …”

Investigation of ANN Architecture for Predicting Load-Carrying Capacity of Castellated Steel Beams by Thuy-Anh Nguyen, Hai-Bang Ly, Van Quan Tran

“…Castellated steel beams (CSB) are an attractive option for the steel construction industry thanks to outstanding advantages, such as the ability to exceed large span, lightweight, and allowing flexible arrangement of the technical pipes through beams. In addition, the complex localized and global failures characterizing these structural members have led researchers to focus on the development of efficient design guidelines. …”
