‘Des mémoires sur la vie de cet illustre philosophe’: George Leman Tuthill’s unwritten biography of Diderot by Warman, C

“…Tuthill later trained as a doctor and became renowned as a physician to various asylums; he therefore boasts an entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, but nothing appears there about his earlier ambitions with respect to Diderot, and Diderot scholarship has known nothing about his existence. This piece brings together these two worlds, supplementing the portrait with further information from his correspondence with the famed Sinologist Thomas Manning (1772–1840) and from their mutual friend the writer Charles Lamb (1775–1834). …”

Structural mimicry of the dengue virus envelope glycoprotein revealed by the crystallographic study of an idiotype–anti-idiotype Fab complex by Wong, Yee Hwa, Goh, Boon Chong, Lim, She Yah, Teo, En Wei, Lim, Angeline P. C., Dedon, Pete C., Hanson, Brendon J., MacAry, Paul A., Lescar, Julien

“…The crystal structure at a resolution of 2.5 Å of a complex between the Fab fragments of E1 and HM14c10 provides the first detailed molecular comparison of an anti-idiotype paratope specific for a human antibody with its analogous epitope, a discontinuous quaternary structure located at the surface of the viral particle that spans adjacent envelope (E) proteins. This comparison reveals that the footprints left by E1 and E on HM14c10 largely overlap, explaining why the formation of binary complexes is mutually exclusive. …”

“Materials Science” Challenges in the Additive Manufacturing of Industrial Parts by Hascoet, Jean-Yves, Marya, Surendar, Marya, Manuel, Singh, Virendra

“…Additive Manufacturing (AM), somewhat like fusion welding, brings into play: (1) complex and interacting physical phenomena such as heat and mass transfer, phase changes (including melting, solidification, allotropic transformations and diffusion phenomena such as epitaxial growth, grain growth), (2) a number of process variables associated to the moving heat source (e.g., its power, power distribution, relative speed, size, all affecting energy density), its paths (e.g., linear, circular, oscillatory), and added metal feed rate via powder, wire, or ribbon, all controlling deposit dimensions, aspect-ratios, and properties, including defects. …”

'Remaking Greater Britain': Cecil Rhodes and imperial politics, 1880-1902 by Hunt, DM

“…Rhodes is positioned as a case study for how settler states and their leaders related to Britain as the centre of imperial power and decision making and shows that Rhodes envisaged a closer constitutional arrangement for the British Empire, based on the principles of ‘Greater Britain’. This brings new emphasis to the political exchange between London and the settler states which has been explored less by the British world school in recent decades than other areas such as culture, identity and migration. …”
