Crohn's Disease, Diagnosis, and Management
Crohn's disease is a rare chronic inflammatory bowel diseases. The cause could be genetic factors, infection, immunology and psychological factors. The exact diagnosis is determined by colonoscopy and histopathology examination
Distribution of samples shown to harbour coinfection of CLCuKoV-Bur and ToLCNDV across Pakistan.
The map shows the origin of collected cotton plant samples with CLCuD symptoms. Plants shown by diagnostic PCR to contain both CLCuKoV-Bur and ToLCNDV are shown as red dots, whereas plants shown only to contain CLCuKoV-Bur are shown as blue dots. The map depicting putative boundaries is drawn by the author and provided here for illustrative purpose only.</p
Rational descriptive classification of duricrusts
The term duricrust appears to be extending itself to include calcareous, gypseous, and saline crusts, in addition to crusts composed dominantly of silica and/or of sesquioxides of iron and aluminium, with or without significant contents of dioxides of manganese or titanium. This latter group can be distinguished as duricrusts proper. Its nomenclature is highly confused, and its classification, in writings in the English language, defective. The relevant problems can be resolved, at least in considerable part, by the introduction, adaptation, and extension of modern terms current in tropical pedology, to give a descriptive classification free of genetic implications. When content of SiO₂, Al₂O₃, and Fe₂O₃ is used as a primary basis for the classification of duricrusts proper, plots on a ternary diagram justify the recognition of seven named types in the fersiallitic range

Les peuplements castraux de la montagne du Doubs
Texte intégral accessible uniquement aux membres de l'Université de LorraineThis thesis is part of a research programme at the University of Nancy under the supervision of M. Bur. by associating both ground and textual study, it aims to make a thorough list of the castle settlements in the Doubs, a district bordering Switzerland and whose make-up is 75% mountains. In the first volume, the author strives to bring underline the main features of the grouping together around a castle phenomenon which took place after the year thousand. Except for Montbeliard which appears in the 10th century, and, a few other sites (Rougemont, Vercel...), the dates are generally the thirteenth and beginning of the fourteenth century. These can be explained by the late development of the mountains and the plateau, and, by the initiatives of some noble lineages Chalon, Montfaucon and later Neufchatel exploit the lack of county and episcopal power from the end of the 12th century onwards. Consequently most of these burghs undergo a difficult development exacerbated by the choice of site, characterized in 90% of cases by dominant relief. Sub-equipped religiously speaking, a little better off commercially speaking, they are characterized by extreme modesty, 57% of them are smaller than two hectares. There is only one town, Montbeliard. The other places are just big villages which will become district country towns. Such conditions make it difficult to talk about the set-up of a second urban network. these burghs are very fragile: almost one out of two (45%) are abandoned between the end of the 15th. and the beginning of the 19th century. the three other volumes present the 71 sites selected according to a structure which is always identical: firstly a topographical summary or a map to a scale of 1/2500e, based on the present cadaster, then a note including a description of the site, a body of texts and pictures followed by historical background and finally a bibliography.Cette thèse s'inscrit dans un programme de recherche de l'université de Nancy II, dirigé par M. Bur. Elle vise à inventorier d'une manière exhaustive, en associant l'étude du texte et celle du terrain, les peuplements castraux du Doubs, un département aux trois quarts montagnard, limitrophe de la Suisse. Dans le premier volume, l'auteur s'efforce de dégager les principaux traits du phénomène de regroupement des hommes autour du château après l'an mil. À l'exception de Montbéliard qui apparait au dixième siècle, et de quelques autres sites (Rougemont, Vercel...), les dates sont généralement le treizième et le début du quatorzième siècle. Elles s'expliquent par une mise en valeur tardive des plateaux et de la montagne et par les initiatives de quelques hauts lignages, Chalon, Montfaucon, plus tard Neuchâtel, qui profitent de la carence du pouvoir comtal et épiscopal à partir de la fin du douzième siècle. En conséquence, ces bourgs connaissent pour la plupart une croissance difficile, encore accrue par le choix du site, un relief dominant dans quatre-vingt-dix pour cent des cas. Sous équipés sur le plan religieux, un peu mieux dotés sur le plan commercial, ils se caractérisent par leur extrême modestie. Cinquante-sept pour cent d'entre eux n'atteignent pas deux hectares. On ne connait qu'une ville, Montbéliard. Les autres localités sont de gros villages, qui deviendront des chefs-lieux de canton. Dans ces conditions, il est difficile de parler de mise en place d'un second réseau urbain. Ces bourgs sont enfin des organismes fragiles : presque un sur deux (45 %) est abandonné entre la fin du XVe siècle et le début du XIXe siècle. les trois autres volumes présentent les soixante et onze sites retenus selon un canevas toujours identique : d'abord un relevé topographique ou un plan au 1/2500e basé sur le cadastre actuel, ensuite une notice qui comprend une description du site, un corpus de textes et d'images suivi d'un historique, enfin une bibliographie

Castanea sativa Bur: An undervalued by-product but a promising cosmetic ingredient
Castanea sativa fruit processing generates high amounts of by-products, mostly bur. Currently, the cosmetic industry has a great interest in natural extracts as antioxidant sources. In the present study, C. sativa bur extract was used as the active ingredient, in different amounts, in topical hydrogels. The formulations were characterized regarding total phenolic and flavonoid contents (TPC and TFC, respectively), antioxidant activity (DPPH radical scavenging capacity and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP)) and technological and microbiological properties. The same parameters were evaluated after 30 days of storage at 4 °C (T 30/4 °C) and 20 °C (T 30/20 °C). At time 0 (T 0 ), the TPC ranged between 0.79 and 9.65 mg of gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g gel, while TFC varied from 0.05 to 1.23 mg of catechin equivalents (CAE)/g gel. Antioxidant activity was high for both assays, with values at T0 ranging between 98.41 and 1013.43 mol of ferrous sulphate equivalents (FSE)/g gel and varying between 431.96 and 990.84 g of Trolox equivalents (TE)/g gel for FRAP and DPPH assays, respectively. No formulation exceeded the defined criteria in microbiological counts. All formulations showed similar technological profiles but particular attention should be given to pH. The gel with 50% of extract (F3) was selected as the best one for potential cosmetic applications. (c) 2017 by the author
