ChIP-seq profiling of the active chromatin marker H3K4me3 and PPARγ, CEBPα and LXR target genes in human SGBS adipocytes

Transcription factors (TFs) represent key factors to establish a cellular phenotype. It is known that several TFs could play a role in disease, yet less is known so far how their targets overlap. We focused here on identifying the most highly induced TFs and their putative targets during human adipogenesis. Applying chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with deep sequencing (ChIP-Seq) in the human SGBS pre-adipocyte cell line, we identified genes with binding sites in their vicinity for the three TFs studied, PPARγ, CEBPα and LXR. Here we describe the experimental design and quality controls in detail for the deep sequencing data and related results published by Galhardo et al. in Nucleic Acids Research 2014 [1] associated with the data uploaded to NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus ().

This article presents and discusses the concepts, ideas and results of the Research Network on European Administrative Law (ReNEUAL) Project on EU administrative procedure. One of the central objectives of this project was to study means of achieving a double objective: Improving the realisation of constitutional principles in the de-centralised implementation of EU law whilst also simplifying the system of implementation of EU law and increasing intelligibility of rights and obligations for citizens and administrators alike. This article presents the major results and gives an overview over the solutions proposed by the ReNEUAL Model Rules on EU Administrative Procedures. [less ▲]

Le concept de dissolution, l’histoire des dissolutions de la Chambre des députés du Luxembourg et la coutume

Grâce à l’étude des matériaux parfois insolites du droit constitutionnel luxembourgeois, droit peu connu en-dehors des frontières de cet État, cet article invite à renouveler l’analyse scientifique de deux concepts-clés du droit constitutionnel : celui de dissolution du parlement et de coutume constitutionnelle. Suite à l’allégation, en 2013, par le Conseil d’État luxembourgeois, de l’existence d’une « coutume constitutionnelle » relative à la dissolution, la présente étude s’interroge non seulement sur le sens possible de cette formule ambiguë (en distinguant entre un sens fort et un sens faible de « coutume constitutionnelle »), mais aussi — ce qui est plus rarement fait — sur le fondement normatif qui puisse autoriser un acteur juridique à émettre une telle allégation. La recherche d’une norme « supérieure », fondant la coutume, explore quatre perspectives, parmi lesquelles il y a lieu de souligner le concept de « rule of recognition » défini par Hart. La controverse de 2013 a également mis en exergue le caractère faussement évident du concept de « dissolution ». Ses angles morts et incertitudes se révèlent une fois que l’on essaie de l’appliquer à la pratique, ici à la pratique historique du Luxembourg. Ainsi, une « dissolution de plein droit » est-elle, au sens strict du terme, une dissolution ? En quoi celle-ci se distingue-t-elle de la fin usuelle des mandats qu’est l’échéance du terme ? La cessation des mandats parlementaires peut-elle être due à deux causes juridiques : dissolution et échéance ? La distinction entre terme précis et terme imprécis, connue en droit privé, est-elle également opératoire en droit constitutionnel ? Est dégagée ainsi, au fil de l’analyse des cas originaux observables dans l’histoire luxembourgeoise, une vision théorique plus fine des divers types de fin collective des mandats parlementaires.

We developed a T-gate technology based on selective wet etching yielding 200 nm wide T-gate structures used for fabrication of High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMT). Major advantages of our process are the use of only standard photolithographic process and the ability to generate T-gate stacks. A HEMT fabricated on AlGaN/GaN/sapphire with gate length Lg=200 nm and double-stacked T-gates exhibits 60 GHz cutoff frequency showing ten-fold improvement compared to 6 GHz for the same device with 2 um gate length. HEMTs with a double-level-T-gate (DLTG) structure exhibit up to 35% improvement of fmax value compared to a single T-gate device. This indicates a significant reduction of skin effect losses in DLTG structure compared to its standard T-gate counterpart. These results agree with the theoretical predictions. [less ▲]

This book deals with music as a life time companion that serves several functions across the life span. The combination of music with age includes music practice, music listening, music therapy and music education. The contributions clarify the relations between music education, music animation and music therapy. They deal with music in a medical and in a geriatric environment. They give impressing insights about music therapy that helps people to die in dignity. An innovative form of therapy illustrates how music can be benefitial in relation to pain. Two contributions give examples of music education and its challenges for elderly people in proposing didactic models and in highlighting how choir singing becomes a matter of informal learning for seniors.
