"""Cleopatra"" from Portraits of Women by Philippe Sollers, translated by Armine Kotin Mortimer"
No full textPhilippe Sollers, a notoriously woman-oriented novelist, addresses the relations between the sexes as concerns real women in Portraits de femmes, published by Flammarion in 2013. “Cleopatra” is my translation of the twentieth chapter.
Sollers’s book engages in a gentle, good-humored polemic, expressing his delight and tranquil admiration for what women have brought him and especially for how the exceptional women he portrays stand out as admirable human beings. Thus his intensely personal assumption of Cleopatra, via Shakespeare, but the chapter conflates the Egyptian queen with his mistress of more than fifty years, Dominique Rolin, who as she faced death in 2012 bid her lover “Goodbye, little darling!”Open Restriction set for Item 94058 on 2016-10-18T17:19:15Z with date null by [email protected] by Armine Mortimer ([email protected]) on 2016-10-18T17:32:34Z

The Book of Mortimer Another Testament!
No full textabstract: The Book of Mortimer is a satirical account about the rise of a new modern day Mormon woman prophet named Champ. The mother of six—and wife to a very codependent man that can’t be left alone with a comfortable couch—believes a new testament is buried in a small field conveniently next to her kids’ bus stop. Taking place in a lower class area constructed entirely of beige apartments in Mesa, Arizona, The Book of Mortimer plays on similar themes of the early day Mormon Church and reimagines this American religion if it were discovered in the 21st century. Complete with an elite Home Owner’s Association, a corrupt frozen pizza company, a ten-year old capitalist, a trio of milk purveyors that hold a group of unfortunates hostage in the biggest grocery store in The United States, and an elementary school that is quite possibly run by a Neo-Nazi principal hiding his identity, The Book of Mortimer is an exhaustively entertaining novel, exploring themes of poverty and class, relationships and commitment, and figuring out one’s self-worth in an overwhelming world of persuasion and guilt.Dissertation/ThesisMasters Thesis Creative Writing 201
Mechanisms of toxic action of silver nanoparticles in the protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila: From gene expression to phenotypic events
No full textSilver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are highly toxic to aquatic organisms, however, there is no consensus whether the toxicity is caused solely by released Ag-ions or also by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Here, the effects of protein-coated AgNPs (14.6 nm, Collargol) were studied on viability, oxidative stress and gene expression levels in wild type strains (CU427 and CU428) of ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila. Viability-based 24 h EC50 values of AgNPs were relatively high and significantly different for the two strains: ∼100 mg/L and ∼75 mg/L for CU427 and CU428, respectively. Similarly, the expression profiles of oxidative stress (OS) related genes in the two strains were different. However, even though some OS related genes were overexpressed in AgNP-exposed ciliates, intracellular ROS level was not elevated, possibly due to efficient cellular antioxidant defence mechanisms. Compared to OS related genes, metallothionein genes were upregulated at a considerably higher level (36 versus 5000-fold) suggesting that Ag-ion mediated toxicity mechanism prevailed over OS related pathway. Also, comparison between Ag-ions released from AgNPs at EC50 concentration and the respective EC50 values of AgNO3 indicated that Ag-ions played a major role in the toxicity of AgNPs in T. thermophila. The study highlights the importance of combining physiological assays with gene expression analysis in elucidating the mechanisms of action of NPs to reveal subtle cellular responses that may not be detectable in bioassays. In addition, our data filled the gaps on the toxicity of AgNPs for environmentally relevant and abundant organisms. The parallel study of two wild type strains allowed us to draw conclusions on strain to strain variability in susceptibility to AgNPs

Microplastics and Associated Microorganisms in the Sea Sediment of the Sentina Regional Natural Reserve (Central Adriatic Sea, Italy)
No full text(1) Background: The large dispersion of microplastics (MPs) in the marine environment has effects on the health of living organisms [1,2,3]. The aim of this study was to identify MPs and their associated microorganisms in Adriatic Sea sediments and to evaluate the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of the microbial communities. (2) Methods: A beach transect, parallel to the shoreline where the waves break, was identified for the samplings. A protocol to perform MP isolation from sandy sediments at different seasons, suitable for biological sample upkeeping, and based on plastic floating in high salinity water, was optimized. From floating MPs, aerobic and anaerobic cultivable microorganisms were isolated and total DNA extraction was performed for the shotgun metagenomic analysis. Susceptibility to a panel of 14 antibiotics, belonging to 12 different categories, was assessed [4,5]. Chemical characteristics of the isolated MPs were analysed using a Thermo Nicolet 6700 FT-IR Spectrometer with “Smart Orbit” diamond micro-ATR accessory and Thermo Nicolet iN10 MX FT-IR microscope. (3) Results: Via chemical analysis, polypropylene microplastics were estimated in the highest percentage, followed by polyethylene, poly-methyl acrylate, and poly-vinyl chloride. Metagenomics data revealed differences in bacterial abundances during seasons and in floating MPs with respect to total sand. The differential gene analysis showed specific metabolic pathways in MP-associated microorganisms, including antibiotic resistance. Via microbial cultivation and MALDI-TOF MS identification, bacteria that are promising for plastic degradation, such as Lysinobacillus fusiformis, Exiguobacterium sp., and Pseudomonas oleovorans, were also found, as well as potential pathogens, like Clostridium septicum, Clostridium novyi, and Shewanella putrefaciens. Only 17.2% were found to be susceptible to all the tested antibiotics. High percentages of resistance were observed for penicillins (85.7%), monobactams (80.9%), and tetracyclines (64.3%). (4) Conclusions: MPs work as a vehicle for potential pathogens and antibiotic-resistant microorganisms in the Central Adriatic Sea
Transcriptomic responses to silver nanoparticles in the freshwater unicellular eukaryote Tetrahymena thermophila
No full textCurrently, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are being increasingly used as biocides in various consumer products and if released in the environment they can affect non-target organisms. Therefore, understanding the toxicity mechanism is crucial for both the design of more efficient nano-antimicrobials and for the design of nanomaterials that are biologically and environmentally benign throughout their life-cycle. Here, the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila was used to elucidate the mechanisms of action of AgNPs by analysing the gene expression profile by RNA-seq and the transcriptomic effects of AgNPs were compared to those induced by soluble silver salt, AgNO3. Exposure to AgNPs at sublethal concentrations for 24 h induced phagocytosis, transport pathways, response to oxidative stress, glutathione peroxidase activity, response to stimulus, oxidation-reduction, proteolysis, and nitrogen metabolism process. Based on gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), some biological processes appeared targets of both toxicants. In addition to many similarities in affected genes, some effects were triggered only by NPs, like phagocytosis, glutathione peroxidase activity, response to stimulus, protein phosphorylation and nitrogen metabolism process. This research provides evidence that AgNPs compared to AgNO3 at the same concentration of dissolved silver ions dysregulate a higher number of cellular pathways. These findings confirm that AgNPs can induce toxicity not only due to soluble silver ions released from the particles but also to particle intrinsic features. (C) 2020 The Author(s).
