Abbeville Classic Fairy Tales
No full textI include this book in the collection solely because it joins three others in a boxed set titled Animal Fables. One strength of this simple but direct version of The Three Little Pigs is the individuation that Roederer gives to the three pigs by their clothing and accoutrements. Lederhosen seem to be all the fashion here. There is some confusion in this book, since the cover declares Roederer to be the illustrator, and the title-page has Illustrated by Agnès Mathieu.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)First editionThird printingBrothers Grim

Reviewing women’s philosophical works during the French revolution: the case of P.-L. Roederer
No full textThis paper looks at selected reviews of women’s philosophical (and literary) works by Revolutionary author and politician Pierre-Louis Roederer. This study occasions the following remarks. Women’s works, when they raised political radical and sometimes feminist agendas were not only read and reviewed, but considered part of the general Revolutionary effort to relieve social and political inequalities. Secondly Roederer appears, from these reviews, as committed to convincing the French intellectual community that works by women ought to be taken as seriously as works by men, and to combat the prejudices which meant that they often were not. I will highlight in particular his reading of Mary Wollstonecraft’s Maria, or the Wrongs of Woman as both a fictionalized continuation of the philosophical programme of her Vindication of the Rights of Woman, and as a contribution to the philosophy of emotions–for which he compares it to Sophie de Grouchy’s Letters on Sympathy. I will also look at an unpublished draft in which he compares and contrasts Grouchy, Germaine de Staël, Emilie du Chatelet and Suzanne Necker’s writings on love. © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group
Parsimonious Determination of the Optimal Infectious Dose of a Pathogen for Nonhuman Primate Models.
No full textThe nonhuman primate (NHP) model is often the best experimental model for testing interventions designed to block infection by human pathogens, such as HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria. A physiological model may require the use of a limiting dose of the infectious agent, where only a fraction of animals become infected upon any given challenge. Determining the challenge dose of the pathogen in such experiments is critical to the success of the experiment: using too-high or too-low a challenge dose may lead to false negative results and an excessive use of animals. Here I define an optimized protocol for defining the dose of pathogen that infects 50% of the time (AID50); other challenge doses, e.g. AID80, can be easily calculated from the same data. This protocol minimizes the number of animals, as well as resources and procedures, while providing an estimate of the AID50 within 1.5-fold of the true value
Estimating the infectivity of CCR5-tropic simian immunodeficiency virus SIVmac251 in the gut
No full textCD4+ T-cell depletion during acute human immunodeficiency virus infection occurs predominantly in the gastrointestinal mucosa. Using experimental data on SIV(mac251) viral load in blood and CD4+ T cells in the jejunum, we modeled the kinetics of CD4+ T-cell infection and death and estimated the viral infectivity. The infectivity of SIV(mac251) is higher than previously estimated for SHIV89.6P infection, but this higher infectivity is offset by a lower average peak viral load in SIV(mac251). Thus, the dynamics of target cell infection and death are remarkably similar between a CXCR4- and a CCR5-tropic infection in vivo.David P. Wilson, Joseph J. Mattapallil, Matthew D. H.

L/S-Band Frequency Reconfigurable Multiscale Phased Array Antenna With Wide Angle Scanning
No full textA frequency reconfigurable phased array element is presented. The operational band of the single port L/S-band antenna can be selected by modifying the element apertures with p-I-n diode switches. The antenna element satisfies strict requirements on its frequency band separation (2.2:1), size, feeding structure and control lines to be integrated into a phased array system. A multi-scale array topology is proposed to achieve wide angle scanning (±60°) in both operational bands of the array.Accepted author manuscriptMicrowave Sensing, Signals & System
Synthesis of Optimal 5G Array Layouts With Wide-Angle Scanning and Zooming Ability for Efficient Link Setup and High-QoS Communication
No full textAn irregular antenna synthesis technique with jointly optimized array subset layouts has been proposed for efficient beam setup and reliable communication in 5G. The proposed approach addresses both the electromagnetic and thermal challenges in 5G arrays by integrating zooming and wide-angle scanning functionality into interleaved-shared layout aperiodic arrays with low side lobes. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated via simulations by using a 64-element array and its smartly thinned subsets.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Microwave Sensing, Signals & System
Two-Port Dual-Band Microstrip Square-Ring Antenna for Radar Applications
No full textA novel two-port, dual-band square-ring microstrip antenna element for wide-angle scanning planar phased array is proposed. The two ports are used to operate the antenna array over the L and S radar bands. Microstrip square-ring radiators are chosen due to their smaller dimensions compared to the conventional microstrip patch. To extend operational bandwidth, the square rings placed into a single layer are fed by small coupling patches. The antenna elements demonstrate consistent radiation patterns and sufficient bandwidths in both operational bands. Due to its dimensions, the element is well-suited for application to wide-scan phased arrays.Accepted Author ManuscriptMicrowave Sensing, Signals & System
