Heat in Normandy, types of atmospheric circulation and climate change (1970 - 2019)

2020

Heat in Normandy, synoptic circulation patterns and climate change (1970-2019). This article focuses on the role and the evolution of the different kinds of synoptic circulation patterns in the occurrence of hot days in Normandy. Heat is here, very dependent on the presence of action centres over central Europe as well as, air flow coming from NE and E. Contemporary climate change expresses itself by a rise in thermal efficiency of all synoptic circulation patterns (more heat for the same flow). Lastly, the north of Cotentin stands out by being a real “cool island” during summer because of its peninsula position which imposes on any air mass, regardless of its origin, a cooling from its bot…

Switchable Spin-Crossover Hofmann-Type 3D Coordination Polymers Based on Tri- and Tetratopic Ligands

2018

[EN] Fe-II spin-crossover (SCO) coordination polymers of the Hofmann type have become an archetypal class of responsive materials. Almost invariably, the construction of their architectures has been based on the use of monotopic and linear ditopic pyridine like ligands. In the search for new Hofmann-type architectures with SCO properties, here we analyze the possibilities of bridging ligands with higher connectivity degree. More precisely, the synthesis and structure of {Fe-II(L-N3)[M-I(CN)(2)](2)}center dot(Guest) (Guest = nitro-benzene, benzonitrile, o-dichlorobenzene; M-I = Ag, Au) and {Fe-II(L-N4)[Ag-2(CN)(3)][Ag(CN)(2)]}center dot H2O are described, where L-N3 and L-N4 are the tritopic…

Butyrate-Induced Growth Arrest of GH3-Cells is not Linked to a Distinct Morphological Phenotype

1983

N-butyric acid is known to be a potent proliferation-inhibitor of a great number of cell types, both normal and neoplastic (1). In many cases growth arrest is accompanied by striking changes in morphology, e.g. formation of cell processes or increased spreading (1). These changes can be traced back to altered glycolipide and glycoprotein patterns of the plasma membrane and to a reorganization of the cytoskeleton (2, 3).

In vivo imaging and quantification of the continuous keratin filament network turnover

2008

Keratin polypeptides are major components of the epithelial cytoskeleton forming a filamentous 3D-network. Like intermediate filament polypeptides of other cell types, keratins make up a stable, but elastic network that is responsible for mechanical stress resilience. At the same time the keratin network is able to change its shape during development, cell division, metastasis and cell migration.

Lattice fluid model generalized for specific interactions: An application to ternary polymer solutions

2011

Abstract The phase diagram of the Poly- l -Lactic-Acid (PLLA), dioxane and water system was derived by using the lattice fluid model generalized for specific interactions. A qualitative analysis of Hansen solubility parameters together with empirical observations were adopted to reduce the number of adjustable parameters. The as-selected model parameters were derived by fitting a set of cloud point curves; consequently, the complete phase diagram of the system was computed. The use of specific interactions between species gave out a quantitative agreement with a set of experimental data, whereas changing the polymer polydispersity the agreement is only qualitative. In principle, the present…

Screening of ligands for the Ullmann synthesis of electron-rich diaryl ethers

2012

In the search for new ligands for the Ullmann diaryl ether synthesis, permitting the coupling of electron-rich aryl bromides at relatively low temperatures, 56 structurally diverse multidentate ligands were screened in a model system that uses copper iodide in acetonitrile with potassium phosphate as the base. The ligands differed largely in their performance, but no privileged structural class could be identified.

Hypusinated eIF5A is required for the translation of collagen.

2021

ABSTRACT Translation of mRNAs that encode peptide sequences with consecutive prolines (polyproline) requires the conserved and essential elongation factor eIF5A to facilitate the formation of peptide bonds. It has been shown that, upon eIF5A depletion, yeast ribosomes stall in polyproline motifs, but also in tripeptide sequences that combine proline with glycine and charged amino acids. Mammalian collagens are enriched in putative eIF5A-dependent Pro-Gly-containing tripeptides. Here, we show that depletion of active eIF5A in mouse fibroblasts reduced collagen type I α1 chain (Col1a1) content, which concentrated around the nuclei. Moreover, it provoked the upregulation of endoplasmic reticul…

Independent Generation of Aβ42 and Aβ38 Peptide Species by γ-Secretase

2008

Proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein by beta- and gamma-secretase generates the amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptides, which are principal drug targets in Alzheimer disease therapeutics. gamma-Secretase has imprecise cleavage specificity and generates the most abundant Abeta40 and Abeta42 species together with longer and shorter peptides such as Abeta38. Several mechanisms could explain the production of multiple Abeta peptides by gamma-secretase, including sequential processing of longer into shorter Abeta peptides. A novel class of gamma-secretase modulators (GSMs) that includes some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has been shown to selectively lower Abeta42 levels withou…
