La bibliothèque dans Le Silence de la mer, un espace symbolique by Nathalie Gibert-Joly

“…Chaque soir, cet homme cultivé comble le silence, forme de résistance de ses hôtes, par ses monologues illusoires exprimant son espoir d’union entre l’Allemagne et la France. Quand il apprend finalement les véritables intentions de son pays, il se résigne, ce que le narrateur réprouve hautement, s’engage pour le front de l’est et quitte à jamais la nièce, symbole dans son esprit de cette France digne qu’il admire et aime tant.Ce livre incontournable, posé librement aujourd’hui sur les étagères des bibliothèques publiques et privées, a été largement commenté. …”

Murine DX5+NKT Cells Display Their Cytotoxic and Proapoptotic Potentials against Colitis-Inducing CD4+CD62Lhigh T Cells through Fas Ligand by Jens M. Werner, Michael Damian, Stefan A. Farkas, Hans J. Schlitt, Edward K. Geissler, Matthias Hornung

“…Furthermore, DX5+NKT cells after polyclonal stimulation showed an upregulation of FasL on their cell surface (15 ± 2% vs. 2 ± 1%; P=0.0286). Finally, FasL was blocked on DX5+NKT cells, and therefore, the extrinsic apoptotic pathway abrogated the activation of caspase-3 in CD4+CD62Lhigh cells. …”

Factors influencing utilization of municipal solid waste compost among urban farmers in western Uganda by Juliet Kiiza Kabasiita, Geoffrey Maxwell Malinga, Julius C. W. Odongo, Emmanuel Opolot

“…Conclusions The findings call for government investment in policies aimed at increasing the level of utilization of the MSW compost by improving accessibility to soil conditioners, creating opportunities for maximizing household incomes, farmer-to-farmer experience sharing, dissemination of information through extension programmes and other innovative communication approaches, operationalization of farmers’ groups and introduction of subsidy schemes on the price of compost through operational tax waivers in urban areas of Uganda. Finally, to guarantee quality and to improve the adoption of compost generated at the CDM plants, there is a need for research to assess the quality of MSW compost, undertake a supply chain analysis and cost–benefit study and set a price commensurate with the quality, and develop guidelines and rates of application of the MSW compost.…”

Optimizing in vitro spherulation cues in the fungal pathogen Coccidioides by Christina M. Homer, Elena Ochoa, Mark Voorhies, Anita Sil

“…We defined a critical role for the dispersant Tamol in both early spherule formation and prevention of the accumulation of a visible film around spherules. Finally, we examined how the conditions under which arthroconidia are generated influence their transcriptome and subsequent development into spherules, demonstrating that this is an important variable to control when designing spherulation experiments. …”
