Internet et le Grand Siècle : les recueils collectifs de poésie au regard du Web by Christophe Schuwey

“…While printed books never became quite as adaptable as web pages, still booksellers in the ancien régime saw multi-authored poetry collections as an opportunity to keep with swiftly changing literary trends. Finally, in the same way as digital readers tend to access poems outside their original collections, likewise, readers in the past rarely read a poetry collection from cover to cover, choosing instead this or that poem with a view to sharing it with other readers. …”

Loading monocytes with magnetic nanoparticles enables their magnetic control without toxicity by Laura Mödl, Laura Mödl, Lucas R. Carnell, Rene Stein, Andrea Kerpes, Felix Pfister, Barbara Wirthl, Wolfgang A. Wall, Christoph Alexiou, Christina Janko

“…Here, we investigated the loading of monocytic THP-1 cells with SPIONs, analyzed their impact on the viability and cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and their magnetic enrichment. Finally, we compared and confirmed the experimentally generated magnetic enrichment data with computational simulations.Methods and resultsWhen THP-1 cells were incubated with citrate-coated SPIONs (SPIONCitrate) or citrate-stabilized gold-coated SPIONs (SPIONGold), cells ingested the particles, as determined via transmission electron microscopy and atomic emission spectroscopy. …”
