Dark City, White City: Chicago’s World Columbian Exposition, 1893 by Hélène Valance

“…L’Exposition Universelle de Chicago s’ouvre, en 1893, sur un spectacle inédit: la Cour d’Honneur de l’Exposition, illuminée par des milliers d’ampoules à incandescence, bientôt connue sous le nom de "White City". Pour des millions de visiteurs, "White City" est une révélation, et la prolifération des vues nocturnes de la Cour d’Honneur, en images comme dans les textes, atteste de l’importance de l’événement. …”

Improving of Surface Quality of Metal Reflector Mirrors Machined by Single Point Diamond Turning by G. A. Gusakov, G. V. Sharonov

“…The use of high-temperature heat treatment of AMg2 alloy substrates allows, in comparison with unannealed samples, to reduce the surface roughness from 1.5 to 0.55 nm, to increase the reflectivity of mirrors at a wavelength of 1064 nm from 0.89 to 0.92, and to increase the laser damage threshold from 3.5 to 5 J / cm2.…”

La photogrammétrie subaquatique pour l’étude des habitats en cours d’eau by Guillaume FORGET, Alan BAZIN, Karl KREUTZENBERGER, Émilien LASNE, Jean-Marc ROUSSEL, Alain CRAVE, Olivier DÉZERALD

“…En effet, les ammocètes, potentiellement menacées par les activités humaines, ont besoin d'habitats spécifiques pour leur développement, mais les caractéristiques clés de ces habitats restent peu connues. Les résultats obtenus par photogrammétrie permettent une caractérisation millimétrique des variations de surface du substrat et apportent des éléments supplémentaires pour la compréhension de l’écologie des juvéniles de lamproie. …”

Influence of lemongrass and oregano essential oils and their combination on in vitro ruminal fermentation and greenhouse gas emissions in total mixed ration for dairy cows by Sara Glorio Patrucco, Alessandro Lotto, Martina Dorigo, Rita Fornaciari, Antonio Sagliano, Nicola Martinelli, Alessandra Cosani, Khalil Abid, Salvatore Barbera, Hatsumi Kaihara, Sonia Tassone

“…LEO reduced pH (−0.6%, p=0.004), while OEO increased oxidation capacity (+4.2%, p=0.004), but both parameters remained within physiological ranges. Canonical discriminant analysis confirmed distinct EOs effects, highlighting their potential as natural additives for improving ruminal fermentation and mitigating ruminant environmental footprint.…”

‘What a perennial delight is in hearing the French language spoken!’: Class, Language and Taste in the Maison de Molière’s French Performances in London (1871–1893) by Ignacio Ramos Gay

“…Through an examination of the reviews and impressions published by an array of professionals, including leading theatre critics at the time, dramatists, actors and aficionados, the research analyses the sociological, political, and aesthetic implications associated with the firm presence of the French language and French canonical plays in late Victorian London. The responses of theatre professionals inevitably raise the matter of high art by implicitly questioning which of the two theatrical traditions best reflect and recreate, through their language, such cultural standards: How is a language stylized to answer simultaneously to dramatic conventions and to expectations related to national sentiment? …”

Unveiling the signal valve specifically tuning the TGF-β1 suppression of osteogenesis: mediation through a SMAD1-SMAD2 complex by Ying-Wen Wang, Ching-Wei Luo

“…Results Distinct from the TGF-β1 inhibition on adipogenesis through canonical SMAD2/3 signaling, we clarified that TGF-β1 suppresses osteogenesis by inducing the formation of previously unidentified mixed SMADs mainly composed of SMAD1 and SMAD2, in which SMAD2 recruits more TGF-β1-induced co-repressors including HDAC1, TGIF1 and ATF3, whereas SMAD1 allows directing the whole transcriptional suppression complex to the cis-elements of osteogenic genes. …”
