Amidase-responsive controlled release of antitumoral drug into intracellular media using gluconamide-capped mesoporous silica nanoparticles. Nanoscale, 4(22), 7237. doi:10.1039/c2nr32062b ; [EN] A new delivery microdevice, based on hydrophobic oleic acid¿capped mesoporous silica particles and able to payload release in the presence of surfactants, has been developed. The oleic acid functionalization confers to the system a high hydrophobic character, which avoids cargo release unless surfactant molecules are present. The performance of this oleic¿acid capped microdevice in the presence of different surfactants is presented and its zero¿release operation in the absence of surfactants is demonstrated.

Although it hasn't much been considered as such, the Digital Humanities movements (or at least the most theoretically informed parts of it) offers a critique "from within" of the recent mutation of the higher education and research systems. This paper offers an analysis, from a Critical Theory perspective, of a key element of this critique: the theory vs. practice debate, which, in the Digital Humanities, is translated into the famous "hack" versus "yack" motto, where DHers usually call for the pre-eminence of the former over the latter. I show how this debate aims to criticize the social situation of employment in academia in the digital age and can further be interpreted with the Cultural industry theoretical concept, as a continuance of the domination of the intellectual labour (ie. yack in this case) over the manual labour (hack). Nevertheless, I argue that, pushing this debate to its very dialectical limit in the post-industrial academic labour situation, one realizes that the two terms aren't in opposition anymore: the actual theory as well as the actual practice are below their very critical concepts in the academic labour. Therefore, I call for a reconfiguration of this debate, aiming at the rediscovering of an actual theory in the academic production, as well as a rediscovering of a praxis, the latter being outside of the scientific realm and rules: it is political.

robots become slightly more involved in human and social activities every day, at such a point that in the last US presidential election one of the declared candidates was also Watson, IBM's supercomputer. In the area of justice, the latest progress in the field of legaltechs calls for the robotisation of justice to be taken seriously. In this sense, on 24 October 2016, British and American researchers published the results of work to create artificial intelligence capable of guarding court decisions. Faced with almost 600 cases decided by the European Court of Human Rights, their algorithm adopted eight out of ten the same solution as magistrates. The fact that a magistr-robot most often operates the mix of choices made by human judges accrediting the vision of a forest-based justice system, against the thesis of justice abandoned to the subjectivity of each magistrate. Furthermore, this algorithmic justice experience raises questions about the possibility and appropriateness of a futurejustice rendered by computer or, at least, computer-assisted. Lastly, the so-called 'justicepredictive' services, which develop in the United States but also in France around algorithms, can also be aid for defence and legal advice by enabling anyone to measure the likelihood of winning a possible trial. ; International audience British and American researchers have just created an artificial intelligence capable of predicting court decisions. In almost 600 cases judged by the European Court of Human Rights, the algorithm has adopted the same solution as judges eight times out of ten. The fact that a judge-robot most often makes the same choices as human judges credited the thesis of a syllogistic and mechanical justice, not the thesis of a justice left to the subjectivity of the judges. Moreover, this algorithmic justice experience raises the question of a computer-assisted justice. Finally, predictive justice, which is developing particularly in the United States, can also help lawyers by allowing them to estimate the ...

In this paper we consider the role of ideology and different forms of interpellation in the presidential electionsof 2015 in Argentina. We start analyzing two crossed imputations: one, sustained by Kirchnerism, stresses the influence of mass media over popular sectors, which would have conducted them to vote against their own interests. The leftist answer to that imputation insists on a series of material reasons of thesesectors to be unsatisfied with Kirchnerism. Kirchnerism, affected by a "political myopia" , would have misrecognized the real situation of popular sectors during his government as well as during the electoral campaign, leaving them consequently exposed to an interpellation that we call "myopic individualism". We argue that these mutual imputations of individualism constitute an ideological field by itself whose common ideological presupposition is individualism. We try to understand the historical political conditions in the Argentinean history of the XXth century of these foundationalideologicalevidences of the Argentine of the XXIth century ; En este trabajo abordamos del papel de la ideología y distintas formas de interpelación en las elecciones presidenciales de Argentina en 2015.Partimos de dos imputaciones cruzadas: la que surge del kirchnerismo, enfatizando el rol de los medios de comunicación masivos sobre los sectores medios y populares, y la respuesta progresista que insiste en una serie de motivos materiales de insatisfacción de estos sectores, a los que el kirchnerismo, afectado por una "miopía política", no atendió durante su gobierno y a los que desconoció en su discurso de campaña electoral, dejándolos librados a la interpelación por una forma de "individualismo miope". Insistimos en que estas atribuciones cruzadas de ideologismo constituyen un campo ideológico por sí mismo, cuyo presupuesto común es el individualismo. A partir de allí intentamos comprender las condiciones histórico-políticas en la Argentina del siglo XX que hacen del individualismo una evidencia ideológica ...

From the inception of modern, petrochemical-derived synthetic plastics to the contemporary situation in which over 300 million tons of plastic are produced each year, media assemblages and plastics constitute a range of intra-actions that contribute to our understanding of contemporary material politics. This article explores a number of issues surrounding entanglements of media and plastics, including the formation of vast oceanic plastic garbage patches, the treatment of highly toxic electronics waste, the usage of thermal papers that disrupt the human endocrine system, and the formation of technical fossils whose lack of biodegradability forms one strand of evidence within discourses of the Anthropocene. The material politics of plastics places into conversation temporal scales ranging from geological rhythms, which are measured in millions of years, to the hyperconsumption of 24/7 global capitalism, asking pertinent questions about how we conceptualize contemporary ethical and biopolitical issues surrounding humans and other living systems.

Systematic or multiple reproduction or distribution to multiple locations via electronic or other means is prohibited and is subject to penalties under law We have proposed, fabricated and demonstrated experimentally a set of Coherent Direct Sequence-OCDMA en/decoders based on Super Structured Fiber Bragg Gratings (SSFBGs) which are able to compensate the fiber chromatic dispersion at the same time that they perform the en/decoding task. The proposed devices avoid the use of additional dispersion compensation stages reducing system complexity and losses. This performance was evaluated for 5.4, 11.4 and 16.8 km of SSMF. The twofold performance was verified in Low Reflectivity regime employing only one GVD compensating device at decoder or sharing out the function between encoder and decoder devices. Shared functionality requires shorter SSFBGs designs and also provides added flexibility to the optical network design. Moreover, dispersion compensated en/decoders were also designed into the High Reflectivity regime employing synthesis methods achieving more than 9 dB reduction of insertion loss for each device. © 2012 Optical Society of America.
