De Cratyle à la TME : une longue tradition dans le débat sur la motivation ou l’arbitraire des mots
2016
In the specialized literature, the concepts of motivation and arbitrariness refer to very different realities. Using some essential readings, we endeavour to clarify these points in the "motivated vs arbitrary nature of lexical forms" debate inaugurated in Plato's Cratylus. Amongst other things, these reveal that the lexical motivation phenomenon is more complex than the supporters of the Saussurian doxa of arbitrariness would have us believe. Even if a considerable amount of time separates the first forms of language from the most ancient linguistic forms available to us and any attempt to reconstruct these original forms is based upon an illusion, it is, nevertheless, possible to decipher…
Teoria malarstwa abstrakcyjnego a Platońska koncepcja sztuki
2016
Tezą artykułu jest twierdzenie, że w założeniach teoretycznych malarstwa abstrakcyjnego odnajdujemy Platońską koncepcję sztuki. Jest to interesująca zbieżność, tym bardziej że jest ona niezależna, nie wynika z inspiracji abstrakcjonistów filozofią Platona, czy odwoływania się do jego koncepcji sztuki. Także Platon nie zakładał rozwoju takiego kierunku w sztuce, a mimo to u podstaw teoretycznych malarstwa abstrakcyjnego odnajdujemy te same prawdziwościowe, poznawcze założenia co w Platońskiej koncepcji sztuki. Określają one zarówno jej istotę, jak i funkcję oraz wartość. Stanowią także wyraz negatywnego stosunku Platona do malarstwa naśladowczego.
Aavesärkyä kertomuksen rakenteissa : kerronnalliset ja sukupuoliset rajanylitykset Taneli Viljasen teoksessa "Kaikki tilat ovat täynnä aaveita"
2020
Taneli Viljasen romaani kutsuu tarkastelemaan itseään tekstitilana, jossa äänet kaikuvat. Teos hyödyntää tekstuaalisia strategioita, jotka tekevät ääniä yksilöivän paikantamisen ja kokemuksellisuuteen perustuvat tulkinnat lähes mahdottomiksi. Kertomuksen kehyksiin sekä aikaan, tilaan ja kausaalisuuteen liittyvät antimimeettiset ratkaisut toimivat siinä myös queeristi, rikkoen oletuksia sukupuolen luonnollisuudesta, pysyvyydestä ja helposta tulkittavuudesta. peerReviewed
Emerging Therapies For Raising Hdl-C And Augmenting Hdl Particle Functionality
2013
High-density lipoprotein particles are highly complex polymolecular aggregates capable of performing a remarkable range of atheroprotective functions. Considerable research is being performed throughout the world to develop novel pharmacologic approaches to: (1) promote apoprotein A-I and HDL particle biosynthesis; (2) augment capacity for reverse cholesterol transport so as to reduce risk for the development and progression of atherosclerotic disease; and (3) modulate the functionality of HDL particles in order to increase their capacity to antagonize oxidation, inflammation, thrombosis, endothelial dysfunction, insulin resistance, and other processes that participate in arterial wall inju…
Yeast Killer Toxin-Like Candidacidal Ab6 Antibodies Elicited through the Manipulation of the Idiotypic Cascade
2014
A mouse anti-anti-anti-idiotypic (Id) IgM monoclonal antibody (mAb K20, Ab4), functionally mimicking a Wyckerhamomyces anomalus (Pichia anomala) killer toxin (KT) characterized by fungicidal activity against yeasts presenting specific cell wall receptors (KTR) mainly constituted by β-1,3-glucan, was produced from animals presenting anti-KT Abs (Ab3) following immunization with a rat IgM anti-Id KT-like mAb (mAb K10, Ab2). MAb K10 was produced by immunization with a KT-neutralizing mAb (mAb KT4, Ab1) bearing the internal image of KTR. MAb K20, likewise mAb K10, proved to be fungicidal in vitro against KT-sensitive Candida albicans cells, an activity neutralized by mAb KT4, and was capable of…

Why are wasps so intimidating: field experiments on hunting dragonflies (Odonata: Aeshna grandis)
2003
Abstract The mechanisms of aposematism (unprofitability of prey combined with a conspicuous signal) have mainly been studied with reference to vertebrate predators, especially birds. We investigated whether dragonflies, Aeshna grandis, avoid attacking wasps, Vespula norwegica, which are an unprofitable group of prey for most predators. As a control we used flies that were painted either black or with yellow and black stripes. The dragonflies showed greater aversion to wasps than to flies. Black-and-yellow-striped flies were avoided more than black ones, suggesting that aposematic coloration on a harmless fly provides a selective advantage against invertebrate predators. There was no signifi…
Study of [2-(2’-pyridyl)imidazole] complexes to confirm two main characteristic thermoanalytical behaviors of transition metal complexes based on imi…
2016
Abstract Imidazole derivative ligands are recognized as useful models for biomimetic complexes. Among the inorganic–organic hybrid complexes, those with derivatives of imidazole heterocyclic N-donor ligands are interesting for their framework. In previous studies of complexes with imidazole derivative ligands, our group reported two main thermally induced decomposition behaviors supporting two different systematic decomposition trends. In this work, one of these characteristic decomposition mechanisms was again found. The final goal of these serial studies is the possibility to provide, by the experimental evidences, a prediction model of thermal stability and decomposition typical behavior…
Role of Surface Chemistry in the Superhydrophobicity of the Springtail Orchesella cincta (Insecta:Collembola)
2020
Collembola are ancient arthropods living in soil with extensive exposure to dirt, bacteria, and fungi. To protect from the harsh environmental conditions and to retain a layer of air for breathing when submerged in water, they have evolved a superhydrophobic, liquid-repelling cuticle surface. The nonfouling and self-cleaning properties of springtail cuticle make it an interesting target of biomimetic materials design. Recent research has mainly focused on the intricate microstructures at the cuticle surface. Here we study the role of the cuticle chemistry for the Collembola species Orchesella cincta (Collembola, Entomobryidae). O. cincta uses a relatively simple cuticle structure with prima…
