Un modèle de navire romain au musée de Sparte
No full textLucien Basch, Un modèle de navire romain au Musée de Sparte. — Un modèle de galère cataphracte en terre cuite, bien conservé, actuellement au Musée de Sparte, a été trouvé fortuitement en mer, au large du cap Malée, en 1950. Cet ex-voto représente probablement une quinquérème romaine (de la fin du Ier s. avant ou du début du Ier s. après J.-C). H fournit des indications sur les formes de coque, les épotides, le point d'appui des rames, les ornements de poupe et, peut-être, les hypozomata. Un modèle de galère, probablement hellénistique, au Corpus Christi College (Cambridge), est apparenté au précédent. Il éclaire également la problème des hypozomata.Basch Lucien.

Theoretical predictions and single-crystal neutron diffraction and inelastic neutron scattering studies on the reaction of dihydrogen with the dinuclear dinitrogen complex of zirconium [P2N2]Zr(mu-eta(2)-N-2)Zr[P2N2], P2N2=PhP(CH2SiMe2NSiMe2CH2)(2)PPh
No full textA single-crystal neutron diffraction analysis along with density functional calculations and incoherent inelastic neutron scattering studies has conclusively shown that the dihydrogen adduct of [P2N2]Zr(mu-eta(2)-N-2)Zr[P2N2] (1) (where P2N2 = PhP(CH2SiMe2NSiMe2CH2)(2)PPh) is [P2N2]Zr(mu-eta(2)-N2H)(mu-H)Zr[P2N2] (2), the complex with a bridging hydride and a N-N-H moiety, and not the dihydrogen complex [P2N2]Zr(mu-eta(2)-N-2)(mu-eta(2)-H-2)Zr[P2N2] (3), as was proposed on the basis of X-ray crystallographic data. In addition, DFT calculations show that the reaction of 1 with both H-2 and SiH4 is exothermic while an endothermic reaction is found for the reaction of 1 with CH4
Readability of colorectal cancer online information: A brief report
No full textPurpose: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. A decline in deaths caused by CRC has been largely attributable to screening and prompt treatment. Motivation, shown to influence cancer-related screening and treatment decisions, can be shaped by information from the Internet. The extent to which this information is easily readable on cancer-related websites is not known. The purpose of this study was to assess the readability levels of CRC information on 100 websites. Methods: Using methods from a prior study, the keyword, “colorectal cancer,” was searched on a cleared Internet browser. Scores for each website (n = 100) were generated using five commonly recommended readability tests. Results: All five tests demonstrated difficult readability for the majority of the websites. Conclusions: Online information related to CRC is difficult to read and highlights the need for developing cancer-related online material that is understandable to a wider audience
Reaction of H<sub>2</sub> with a Binuclear Zirconium Dinitrogen Complex − Evaluation of Theoretical Models and Hybrid Approaches
No full textMolecular orbital and hybrid ONIOM (both IMOMO and IMOMM) calculations have
been carried out on the important reaction of H2 with a binuclear zirconium dinitrogen complex
to test the efficacy of several structural models of the ancillary ligand. The complete experimental
ligand, PhP(CH2SiMe2NSiMe2CH2)2PPh, in the zirconium complex has been treated at the
IMOMM level, while two smaller approximations of the ligand, HP(CH2SiH2NSiH2CH2)2PH and
(PH3)2(NH2)2, have received the full molecular orbital treatment. The mechanism of dihydrogen
addition has been compared with our earlier study (Basch, Musaev, and Morokuma J. Am. Chem.
Soc. 1999, 121, 5754−5761). We find that the substituent effects do cause some small changes
in both the structures of the complexes studied and the activation energies of the transition
structures. However for the most part the potential energy profiles are very similar to our earlier
study and lend support to our use of simple theoretical models to represent moderately large
experimental structures
Motivating Factors Associated With Receipt of Asymptomatic Colonoscopy Screening
No full textBackground: Colonoscopy is the preferred screening method for colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to identify factors motivating a beneficial health behavior, that is, the decision to complete a colonoscopy.
Methods: We surveyed 91 primarily urban minority health care workers who were ineligible for a large randomized controlled trial due to self-reported asymptomatic colonoscopy screening. Participants were asked an open-ended question about what made them get screened. Responses were classified as external or internal motivations.
Results: The most commonly reported external motivation was a primary care physician′s recommendation (n = 60, 65.9%). Other external motivations were familiarity with CRC or polyps through family or work (n = 16, 17.6%) and pressure from relatives or friends (n = 8, 8.8%). Seventeen respondents were deemed self-motivated; these individuals were more likely have income over $50K/year (P < 0.05) and to be US born (P = 0.05); they were more likely to mention being age-appropriate for screening (P < 0.05); knew more people who had colonoscopies (P < 0.001); they were less likely to believe that most of the age-appropriate population in New York City has been screened (P < 0.01) and less likely to be deterred from colonoscopy by work schedule (P < 0.001) or by having to take a powerful laxative (P < 0.001).
Conclusions: A primary care physician′s recommendation may be the most prevalent motivating factor in patients′ decisions to receive a colonoscopy, but a subgroup seeks CRC screening on their own. Analysis of the motivations of individuals who have sought colonoscopy screening may offer useful insights into motivating those who have not
Impact of conservation tillage on wheat performance and its microbiome
No full textWinter wheat is an important cereal consumed worldwide. However, current management practices involving chemical fertilizers, irrigation, and intensive tillage may have negative impacts on the environment. Conservation agriculture is often presented as a sustainable alternative to maintain wheat production, favoring the beneficial microbiome. Here, we evaluated the impact of different water regimes (rainfed and irrigated), fertilization levels (half and full fertilization), and tillage practices (occasional tillage and no-tillage) on wheat performance, microbial activity, and rhizosphere- and root-associated microbial communities of four winter wheat genotypes (Antequera, Allez-y, Apache, and Cellule) grown in a field experiment. Wheat performance (i.e., yield, plant nitrogen concentrations, and total nitrogen uptake) was mainly affected by irrigation, fertilization, and genotype, whereas microbial activity (i.e., protease and alkaline phosphatase activities) was affected by irrigation. Amplicon sequencing data revealed that habitat (rhizosphere vs. root) was the main factor shaping microbial communities and confirmed that the selection of endophytic microbial communities takes place thanks to specific plant-microbiome interactions. Among the experimental factors applied, the interaction of irrigation and tillage influenced rhizosphere- and root-associated microbiomes. The findings presented in this work make it possible to link agricultural practices to microbial communities, paving the way for better monitoring of these microorganisms in the context of agroecosystem sustainability
