Table ronde

Ariane Hudelet : Merci beaucoup aux organisatrices de m’avoir conviée à animer cette table ronde professionnelle. Nous allons aborder quatre approches différentes et des projets très divers. Je vais vous faire une brève présentation de nos intervenants et ensuite on passera en revue les grandes thématiques liées au traitement du paysage, dans une approche plus professionnelle, en les écoutant les uns après les autres. Je vais commencer avec Grant Montgomery. Il est chef décorateur en Angleter..

Istradefylline protects from cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and peripheral neuropathy while preserving cisplatin antitumor effects

Cisplatin is a potent chemotherapeutic drug that is widely used in the treatment of various solid cancers. However, its clinical effectiveness is strongly limited by frequent severe adverse effects, in particular nephrotoxicity and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Thus, there is an urgent medical need to identify novel strategies that limit cisplatin-induced toxicity. In the present study, we show that the FDA-approved adenosine A2A receptor antagonist istradefylline (KW6002) protected from cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and neuropathic pain in mice with or without tumors. Moreover, we also demonstrate that the antitumoral properties of cisplatin were not altered by istradefylline in tumor-bearing mice and could even be potentiated. Altogether, our results support the use of istradefylline as a valuable preventive approach for the clinical management of patients undergoing cisplatin treatment

Search for gravitational-lensing signatures in the full third observing run of the LIGO-Virgo network

Gravitational lensing by massive objects along the line of sight to the source causes distortions of gravitational wave-signals; such distortions may reveal information about fundamental physics, cosmology and astrophysics. In this work, we have extended the search for lensing signatures to all binary black hole events from the third observing run of the LIGO--Virgo network. We search for repeated signals from strong lensing by 1) performing targeted searches for subthreshold signals, 2) calculating the degree of overlap amongst the intrinsic parameters and sky location of pairs of signals, 3) comparing the similarities of the spectrograms amongst pairs of signals, and 4) performing dual-signal Bayesian analysis that takes into account selection effects and astrophysical knowledge. We also search for distortions to the gravitational waveform caused by 1) frequency-independent phase shifts in strongly lensed images, and 2) frequency-dependent modulation of the amplitude and phase due to point masses. None of these searches yields significant evidence for lensing. Finally, we use the non-detection of gravitational-wave lensing to constrain the lensing rate based on the latest merger-rate estimates and the fraction of dark matter composed of compact objects

Search for eccentric black hole coalescences during the third observing run of LIGO and Virgo

Despite the growing number of confident binary black hole coalescences observed through gravitational waves so far, the astrophysical origin of these binaries remains uncertain. Orbital eccentricity is one of the clearest tracers of binary formation channels. Identifying binary eccentricity, however, remains challenging due to the limited availability of gravitational waveforms that include effects of eccentricity. Here, we present observational results for a waveform-independent search sensitive to eccentric black hole coalescences, covering the third observing run (O3) of the LIGO and Virgo detectors. We identified no new high-significance candidates beyond those that were already identified with searches focusing on quasi-circular binaries. We determine the sensitivity of our search to high-mass (total mass M>70 M⊙) binaries covering eccentricities up to 0.3 at 15 Hz orbital frequency, and use this to compare model predictions to search results. Assuming all detections are indeed quasi-circular, for our fiducial population model, we place an upper limit for the merger rate density of high-mass binaries with eccentricities 0<e≤0.3 at 0.33 Gpc−3 yr−1 at 90\% confidence level

Ultralight vector dark matter search using data from the KAGRA O3GK run

Among the various candidates for dark matter (DM), ultralight vector DM can be probed by laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors through the measurement of oscillating length changes in the arm cavities. In this context, KAGRA has a unique feature due to differing compositions of its mirrors, enhancing the signal of vector DM in the length change in the auxiliary channels. Here we present the result of a search for U(1)B−L gauge boson DM using the KAGRA data from auxiliary length channels during the first joint observation run together with GEO600. By applying our search pipeline, which takes into account the stochastic nature of ultralight DM, upper bounds on the coupling strength between the U(1)B−L gauge boson and ordinary matter are obtained for a range of DM masses. While our constraints are less stringent than those derived from previous experiments, this study demonstrates the applicability of our method to the lower-mass vector DM search, which is made difficult in this measurement by the short observation time compared to the auto-correlation time scale of DM

Crystal structure of catena

International audienceIn the title coordination polymer, [CuCl2(C27H26N6O2S)]·CH3CN n , the copper(II) ion is fivefold coordinated, with an almost perfect square-pyramidal coordination sphere. In the equatorial plane, it is ligated to a pyridine N atom and an N atom of the triazole unit and to two Cl(-) ions, while the apical position is occupied by the carbonyl O atom of the tert-butyl carbamate group. In the crystal, the polymer chains propagate in the [11-1] direction, with the aceto-nitrile solvent mol-ecules linked to the chain by C-H(midline ellipsis)N hydrogen bonds. The chains are linked by C-H(midline ellipsis)Cl hydrogen bonds forming sheets parallel to the plane (011). The crystal packing is further consolidated by C-H(midline ellipsis)π inter-actions and offset π-π stacking inter-actions [inter-centroid distance = 3.6805 (15) ÅA], forming a three-dimensional supra-molecular structure

N,N′-Bis(4-bromophenyl)-N,N′-dimethylurea

The structure of the title compound, C15H14Br2N2O, at 180 K has monoclinic (P21/n) symmetry. It was obtained unexpectedly from the decomposition of the parent 4-bromo-N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-N-methyl-aniline. It exhibits an `endo' conformation with angles between the two aromatic rings slightly lower than the average values found for similar compounds on the Cambridge Structural Database. In the crystal, C—H...O hydrogen bonds and short Br...Br halogen bonds [3.444 (1) Å] are observed
