Habitat collectif « de standing » au cœur de Santiago du Chili : un modèle résidentiel vertical attractif ? by Line Henry

“…It moreover leads to a growth of the latter, and suggests the emergence for the Chilean upper class of a somehow positive view of apartment blocks. The simultaneous reality of these opposed residential migrations, which depend on the stage of one’s family life, and the generalized possession of secondary residences “on the beach or in the countryside” prevent us from concluding that a real ideal of apartment appeared, or that a new deep desire for density, which would be shared by the upper class of Santiago, rose. …”

Revealing systematic changes in the transcriptome during the transition from exponential growth to stationary phase by Hyun Gyu Lim, Ye Gao, Kevin Rychel, Cameron Lamoureux, Xuwen A. Lou, Bernhard O. Palsson

“…We find that (i) the transition to the stationary phase accompanies common transcriptome changes, including increased stringent responses and reduced production of cellular building blocks and energy regardless of the limiting element; (ii) condition-specific changes are strongly associated with transcriptional regulators (e.g., Crp, NtrC, CysB, Cbl) responsible for metabolizing the limiting element; and (iii) the shortage of each limiting element differentially affects the production of amino acids and extracellular polymers. …”
