High arachidonic acid (20:4n-6) and low n-3 PUFA levels impair the capacity of cultured human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (hBMSCs) to modulate immune functions. The capacity of the hBMSCs to modify PUFA structures was found to be limited. Therefore, different PUFA supplements given to the cells resulted in very different glycerophospholipid (GPL) species profiles and substrate availab...

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a large group of environmental organisms with worldwide distribution, but only a relatively few are known to be pathogenic. Chronic, debilitating lung disease is the most common manifestation of NTM infection, which is often refractory to treatment. The incidence and prevalence of NTM lung disease are increasing in the United States and in many parts of the...

Human mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (hMSC) are increasingly used in advanced cellular therapies. The clinical use of hMSCs demands sequential cell expansions. As it is well established that membrane glycerophospholipids (GPL) provide precursors for signaling lipids that modulate cellular functions, we studied the effect of the donor's age and cell doublings on the GPL profile of human bone mar...

Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA) is an enzyme involved in both glycolytic and photosynthetic reactions in photosynthetic organisms. In prokaryotes, the bidirectional reaction proceeds in the same cellular compartment, i.e. the cytoplasm. Expression of the FBA gene, fbaA, is induced through two independent pathways, stimulated by continuous light and by glucose plus pulsed light (GPL), i...

The interaction mechanism between transverse domain walls TDWs in Permalloy nanowires and artificially patterned traps is studied using high-sensitivity spatially resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements and numerical simulations. T-shaped trap geometries are considered, where a DW traveling in the horizontal arm is pinned by the vertical arm. Pinning strengths as well as potential ene...

The paper introduces two resources for NLP, available with a GPL license: a dictionary of French compound words and a NooJ grammar which specifies a subset of compound patterns. Mots-clés : open source, ressources, dictionnaire, grammaire, mots composés

Areal interpolation is the process of transferring data collected over source zones to target zones. One of the applications of areal interpolation is to construct temporally consistent areal units for comparing socioeconomic data over time. Dasymetric modeling is the process of employing ancillary data to spatially refine the distribution of socioeconomic variables. In this paper, three areal ...

We introduce HP, an implementation of density-functional perturbation theory, designed to compute Hubbard parameters (on-site $U$ and inter-site $V$) in the framework DFT+$U$ DFT+$U$+$V$. The code does not require use computationally expensive supercells traditional linear-response approach; instead, unit cells are used with monochromatic perturbations that significantly reduce computational co...
