Essor et déclin des télégraphes britanniques en tant que service public
No full textTHE RISE AND FALL OF GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPHY IN BRITAIN Charles R. Perry The first nationalization in England was that of the telegraph. This phenomenon, overlooked for many years by historians, is considered here by the author who analyses the government's arguments in the 1860s. He then reviews a complex and contrasting heritage (the rise and fall): social achievement but financial failure.ESSOR ET DECLIN DES TELEGRAPHES BRITANNIQUES EN TANT QUE SERVICE PUBLIC Charles R. Perry La nationalisation du télégraphe fut la première à intervenir en Angleterre. Ce phénomène, longtemps ignoré des historiens, est repris ici par l'auteur qui analyse d'abord ce que fut dans les années 1 860 l'argument des pouvoirs publics. Il s'attache ensuite au bilan (l'essor et le déclin) d'un héritage complexe et contrasté : une réussite sociale, mais un échec fiscal.Perry Charles R., Albaret Michèle.

Saving Rutgers Camden
No full textIn January 2012, Chris Christie, Governor of New Jersey, announced that the Camden campus of Rutgers, the State University, was to be severed from Rutgers and taken over by Rowan University. Every major political force in the state, Democratic and Republican, elected and behind the scenes, lined up in support of the plan. Nevertheless, Rutgers-Camden faculty, students, administrators, alumni, and trustees, and their allies, vigorously fought the plan, convinced that it made no sense and would be devastating to the campus and higher education in the State more generally. The campaign opposing the merger with Rowan was popular and political, but it ultimately depended on powerful legal arguments grounded in Rutgers’ distinct and complex history. By the end of June, the merger idea had been defeated. As one assistant professor put it, “The bad guys got outmaneuvered by a bunch of nerds.”
This article is a scholarly effort by three faculty participants to make sense of the struggle to save Rutgers-Camden and put it in theoretical context. The article narrates the story of the fight over the proposed merger and carefully analyzes the legal constraints on the plan. It also links the story to important broader questions about legal pluralism, the public/private divide, the relationship between state universities and state governments, and competing visions of the modern university faculty. Through this combination of case study, legal argument, and conceptual inquiry, the article provides a cautionary but hopeful tale about the importance of academic communities defending sound public policy and their own historical rights to self determination against the machinations that can infect our political culture and legislative process.Please direct any questions about this deposit to Charlotte Schneider ([email protected])

Alpha-synuclein deficiency in the C57BL/6JOlaHsd strain does not modify disease progression in the ME7-model of prion disease
No full textWe previously detailed how intrahippocampal inoculation of C57BL/6J mice with murine modified scrapie (ME7) leads to chronic neurodegeneration (Cunningham C, Deacon R, Wells H, Boche D, Waters S, Diniz CP, Scott H, Rawlins JN, Perry VH (2003) Eur J Neurosci 17:2147–2155.). Our characterization of the ME7-model is based on inoculation of this murine modified scrapie agent into C57BL/6J mice from Harlan laboratories. This agent in the C57BL/6J host generates a disease that spans a 24-week time course. The hippocampal pathology shows progressive misfolded prion (PrPSc) deposition, astrogliosis and leads to behavioural dysfunction underpinned by the early synaptic loss that precedes neuronal death. The Harlan C57BL/6J, although widely used as a wild type mouse, are a sub-strain harbouring a spontaneous deletion of ?-synuclein with the full description C57BL/6JOlaHsd. Recently ?-synuclein has been shown to ameliorate the synaptic loss in a mouse model lacking the synaptic chaperone CSP-?. This opens a potential confound of the ME7-model, particularly with respect to the signature synaptic loss that underpin the physiological and behavioural dysfunction. To investigate if this strain-selective loss of a candidate disease modifier impacts on signature ME7 pathology, we compared cohorts of C57BL/6JOlaHsd (?-synuclein negative) with the founder strain from Charles Rivers (C57BL/6JCrl, ?-synuclein positive). There were subtle changes in behaviour when comparing control animals from the two sub-strains indicating potentially significant consequences for studies assuming neurobiogical identity of both strains. However, there was no evidence that the absence of ?-synuclein modifies disease. Indeed, accumulation of PrPSc, synaptic loss and the behavioural dysfunction associated with the ME7-agent was the same in both genetic backgrounds. Our data suggest that ?-synuclein deficiency does not contribute to the compartment specific processes that give rise to prion disease mediated synaptotoxicity and neurodegeneration

Improved spectroscopy of molecular ions in the mid-infrared with up-conversion detection
No full text"Heterodyne detection, velocity modulation, and cavity enhancement are useful tools for observing rovibrational transitions of important molecular ions.\footnote{K.N. Crabtree, J.N.

J. 817 (2016) 138.} In the past, parasitic etalons and the lack of fast and sensitive detectors in the mid-infrared have limited the number of transitions we could measure with MHz-level precision. Recently, we have significantly reduced the amplitude of unwanted interference fringes with a Brewster-plate spoiler. We have also developed a detection scheme which up-converts the mid-infrared light with difference frequency generation which allows the use of a faster and more sensitive avalanche photodetector. The higher detection bandwidth allows for optimized heterodyne detection at higher modulation frequencies. The overall gain in signal-to-noise from both improvements will enable extensive high-precision line lists of molecular ions and searches for previously unobserved transitions."Made available in DSpace on 2017-01-26T21:38:42Z (GMT).
