Abstract:
Abstract Cell pattern and ultrasculpture were examined by light and scanning electron microscopy in bulb tunics of 46 Allium species to determine the diagnostic value of micromorphological characters. The study examined the diversity of these characters, evaluated their usefulness at different taxonomic levels (species, section, subgenus), and considered the results in relation to the recent intrageneric classification of the genus. Detailed characteristics are provided for the investigated species, and taxa showing the presence of calcium oxalate crystals in bulb tunic cells are indicated. The results suggest that several bulb tunic characters are of taxonomic significance in Allium as their variation between specimens of the same species was negligible; they can be useful elements of species descriptions and determination keys. Allium subgenus Allium shows considerable variation of bulb tunic ultrasculpture and hexagonal or elongated cell patterns. Differences in ultrasculpture are sufficient to distinguish species within the Amerallium subgenus. Three subgenera (Anguinum, Butomissa, Reticulatobulbosa) are characterized by fibrous tunics with reticulate ultrasculpture. Rectangular to elliptic cells with thick walls, giving the bulb tunic an almost perforated structure, are characteristic for Allium subgenus Cepa. No specific pattern was found for Allium subgenus Melanocrommyum and Polyprason. The only representative of subgenus Microscordum (Allium monanthum) showed distinct herringbone ultrasculpture. The bulbs of Allium subgenus Rhizirideum representatives can be distinguished by their linear ultrasculpture following the long axis of the elongated cells. Allium bulb tunic ultrasculpture and cell pattern show some degree of variability. These characters are of potential use in taxonomic delimitation, species determination and further study of the relationships between species, particularly in members of subgenus Amerallium.

Abstract:
In <em>Actinidia arguta</em>, the I tunc layer is formed by four cell complexes which descend from single initials. These initials are positioned in a corner of their complex, around the meristem axis. The meristematic activity of the I tunic layer depends on the formative divisions of the initials; the entire I tunic layer above the youngest leaf primordia is formed during the time the initials undergo only 4-8 divisions. In light of the development of the twin cell complexes. it is impossible for cells to be displaced from the I tunic layer into the meristem. The supposition is set forth that the impermanent. mericlinal sectors on variegated perinclinal chimeras develop due to periclinal cleavages within the subcomplexes which derive from tissue mother cells. Whereas. the cell initials do not undergo periclinal divisions and are not displaced.

Abstract:
To characterize the ultraviolet (UV) light-absorbing function of the ascidian tunic, the light absorption spectrum was compared in 22 ascidian species collected from tropical and temperate waters. Non-photosymbiotic ascidians (17 species) had transparent tunics transmitting both visible and UV light, or pigmented or opaque tunics equally absorb both UV and visible light. However, a prominent absorption peak around 320 nm was exclusively found in the colonial ascidians hosting the algal symbiont Prochloron sp., and this absorption peak corresponded to absorption of UV-A (320–400 nm) and UV-B (280–320 nm). The UV-absorbing substances were extracted with methanol. They were mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs): mycosporine-glycine, palythine, shinorine, and porphyra-334. The MAAs are thought to be synthesized by the shikimic acid pathway that does not occur in animals. Since the isolated Prochloron cells contain MAAs, the symbionts are the most possible candidates as the source of the MAAs in the tunic. In Diplosoma virens, the composition of MAAs was different between isolated Prochloron cells and colony residue from which Prochloron cells were extracted.

Abstract:
Background:It has been previously reported that the tunic ofHalocynthia roretzi, mainly composed of cellulose, is actively deformed with mass transfer by the mechanical stimuli.Objective:In this study, how the tunic deforms in response to the mechanical environment was investigated.Method:The tunic specimen in the artificial seawater was still at 5˚C or underwent the mechanical stimuli at the temperature less than 10˚C. The mass and moisture content of the tunic, the concentrations of nitrate and dissolved organic matter in the artificial seawater used for the tunic, and the histological characteristics were evaluated.Results:The increase in mass of the tunic became lower as the region was closer to the bottom ofHalocynthia roretzi. However, the decrease in mass caused by the mechanical stimuli was not different between the adjacent regions. Also, the tunic of the siphon, the tubular tissue for influx and efflux of the seawater, increased the mass more slowly after the stimuli. The size of the layer covering the outside of the tunic was inversely related to the increment in mass. The change in mass was corresponding to that in water content. The concentrations of nitrate and dissolved organic matter in the artificial seawater were enhanced 5 days after the stimuli while the concentration ratio of dissolved organic matter to nitrate was kept constant.Conclusion:The water content in the tunic was used for controlling the mass response to the mechanical environment.

Full text
Abstract:
Amphipods of the genus Phronima are known to make a barrel-shaped house from the gelatinous matrix of pelagic tunicates or siphonophores. Among the seven barrels examined here, one barrel of Phronima curvipes was supposed to be made from a swimming bell of a siphonophore based on its morphology, while the other six barrels made by P. sedentaria were immunochemically and/or morphologically identified as tunicates (i.e. Thetys vagina, other salps and pyrosomas). Histological observation showed that the phronimids had completely eaten the animal tissues other than the gelatinous matrix (i.e. tunic or mesoglea). Tunic cells were found in the tunicate barrel and some were probably tunic phagocytes that appeared to be alive and functional. In the tunicate barrels, cuticular layers of the tunic were found on both the outer and inner side of the barrel wall. Tunic cuticle would be regenerated on the inner side after the epidermis was grazed by the phronimids. The cuticular layers would protect the tunic matrix from the invasion of microorganisms. In the barrel supposed to originate from Thetys vagina, there are minute protrusions on the tunic cuticle as found in the intact tunic of this species. In the barrel from a siphonophore, neither cells nor cuticle regeneration were found. No bacteria were observed in the barrel, suggesting that the barrel has some antibiotic system.

The study aimed to analyze the genetic diversity of the Indonesian shallots based on the bulb-tunic patterns. Thirty-five shallot genotypes from main production centers in Indonesia were used. The ultrasculptures of the bulb tunics were examined by light microscopy, including the inner surface and cell shape patterns of the bulb tunics. The phenotypic data, i.e. quantitative and qualitative traits were subjected to the descriptive statistics, principal component, correlation, regression, and clustering analyses. The results showed that the bulb-tunic cell patterns were varied, which shared almost identical with 13 <em>Allium</em> species. Total bulb weight per genotype showed the greatest variation (cv = 89.10%) and significant correlation with bulb weight per plant (r = 0.773). The principle component analyses showed the cumulative proportion of 78% of the total morphological variation in all shallot genotypes. Based on clustering analysis, the genetic variation of Indonesian shallots are grouped into twelve clusters with 50% genetic similarity. The study indicates that Indonesian shallots are genetically varied and could be useful for further utilization in their genetic improvement program.</p>

Abstract:
There were examined 119 patients of gastroenterological profile, who, according to the results of microbiological examination of scraping from tongue and biopsy material of digestive tract and stomach, were divided into three groups: 1 group – patients with oropharyngeal candidiasis and surface candidiasis of mucous tunic, 2 group – patients with invasion of Candida fungi in mucous tunic, 3 group – patients without oropharyngeal candidiasis and without growth of fungi in biopsy material. The status of iodine provision was studied in 78 persons. The results of research revealed that at structural changes of thyroid gland the dominating position in patients with candidiasis of mucous tunic occupies the nodular goiter– 29,31% and 36,36% for 1 and 2 group respectively, whereas in 3 group the frequency of nodular goiter was 11,76%, at that hyperplasia and nodular goiter in patients with fungi invasion in mucous tunic was revealed 2,6 times more often comparing with patients without candidiasis (χ2=4,01; р<0,05). In patients with oropharyngeal and surface candidiasis and invasive candidiasis of mucous tunic of the upper part of digestive tract the hard degree of iodine nutrition deficiency with thyroglobulin level higher than 40 ng/ml was revealed in more than half of cases. At that the frequency of hard iodine deficiency at fungi invasion in mucous tunic 4,2 times higher comparing with patients without candidiasis of mucous tunic (F=0,024; р<0,05). So, the concomitant comorbid state with pathology of thyroid gland and iodine deficiency is an aggravating factor in the course of candida infection that is necessary to be taken into account at clinical monitoring of patients with candidiasis of mucous tunic of the upper part of gastrointestinal tract.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractThe Bayeux Tapestry depicts three curious chequered garments. These garments are usually identified as gambesons, or some form of scaled armour. Several scholars have observed similar garments in the early twelfth-century Bible of Cîteaux. The Cîteaux garments are depicted in a pattern later used to represent fur (called ‘vair’) in heraldic art. This identification is confirmed by the pattern’s usage in cloak linings, but its simultaneous appearance as tunic material is unfamiliar in later art. The Cîteaux tunics suggest the possibility that the Bayeux garments may also have been intended to represent fur tunics. Reasons for that identification, as well as problems with the identification, are considered.

Full text
Abstract:
Many didemnid ascidians have calcareous spicules in the tunic. Since the spicules of each species have a specific shape and size-range, they are often regarded as an important character for taxonomy. To evaluate the taxonomic significance of tunic spicules, a quantitative survey of spicule size and shape was combined with a molecular phylogeny inferred from the partial sequence of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene in some groups of didemnid species that are supposedly closely related. This study revealed the presence of substantial intraspecific variations in the shape and size of tunic spicules. The spicules are, therefore, not always crucial features discriminating species, particularly among related species. Although tunic spicules are potentially valuable features for didemnid taxonomy, their intraspecific variation should be carefully considered before they are used as a key character for species identification.

Full text
Abstract:
This study is based on oral narratives collected during six months fieldwork from December 1989 to May 1990 in Tunis. The work examines the role and importance of story-telling in the lives of my three Beldi informants - all women from the city of Tunis - and explores the themes contained in their tales in the light of their personal histories and their own interpretations. Through the act of narration women produce a vision of themselves and of their moral and physical world. In the narratives discussed here, contradictory and competing pictures are painted. One narrator presents a conservative moralistic view of the role of women. The two others produce through their narratives a rebellious, racy and subversive view of women. These contradictory visions of women are produced by women for women. The introduction first reviews research into Tunisian story-telling, then relevant methodology and theory in general, and finally outlines the approach adopted in this thesis. Background information is also provided on story-telling in Tunis, the conduct of fieldwork and the three narrators used in this study. Chapters two and three concentrate on the narrators and their backgrounds. Chapter Two presents the social background of Beldi - people of the city of Tunis - who form the subject matter of the tales. Chapter Three concentrates on the relationship between the women and their tales. Chapter four, five and six identify and group the recurring themes contained in the tales. The thematic categories relate to power, honour and shame, fate and other topics of concern to women in their daily lives. Chapter seven, finally, concentrates on the use of formulae, asides and diminutives as salient features which give the tales their particular character. Appendix I contains the full list of stories and the English translations of the stories discussed in the body of the thesis. Appendix II contains the Arabic texts of selected stories.

Abstract:
La rue de Tunis au tournant des XIX et XXe sicèles. Tunis, capitale de la régence de Tunis (province ottomane), à l'instar d'autres capitales du monde musulman méditerranéen, est en pleine transformation sous l'effet d'un élan réformateur inspiré des Tanzimat ottomanes. La recherche est centrée sur l'évolution de la conception et de la fabrication des rues à Tunis à travers les grandes scansions de l'histoire urbaine de la ville et de ses mutations de 1835 à 1935. Dans le contexte de la prépondérance de l'influence européenne au XIXe siècle en Méditerranée et au Maghreb et de l'instauration du Protectorat français, le passage de la ville ancienne à la ville moderne est révélateur des résistances locales, de la survivance des institutions antérieures, des influences croisées et de la mise en place d'une nouvelle définition de l'espace urbain en rupture totale avec le passé. Cette nouvelle définition marque le changement de statut de l'espace et le passage de l'espace urbain à l'espace public au tournant du XXe siècle. Rues, édifices publics, architecture domestique, usages et significations connaissent alors des changements significatifs. Trois échelles d'analyse organisent l'observation des transformations urbaines et du réseau des rues. L'échelle globale des mutations, l'évolution proprement dite de la ville, l'analyse des formes d'espaces publics et des formes d'intervention qui composent l'espace urbaine et celles de leurs conséquences sur la production architecturale. Cette recherche fondée sur un bilan des transformations urbaines et de l'émergence de nouvelles conceptions édilitaires et viaires à Tunis de 1835 à 1935 souhaite contribuer à une meilleure connaissance de l'histoire urbaine de la ville, avant et après l'établissement du Protectorat français, au sein d'une période historique clé, dont l'analyse a été souvent recouverte d'un voile d'idéologie
The streets in Tunis by the of the 19th and 20th centuries. Tunis, capital of the Ottoman Tunis Province Regency, was, like many other capitals in the Mediterranean Muslim world, experiencing great changes as a result of the reform movement which took its inspiration from the Ottoman Tanzimat. The scope of the research is the study of the evolution of urban design in Tunis through the great scansions and changes of the town urban history in the period 1835-1935. In the context of the predominance of European influence over the Mediterranean and in the Maghreb in the 19th Century and the establishment of the French Protectorate, the transition from the old town to the modern town reveals/unveils/brings out local resistance, the survival of previous/older institutions, a mixture of influences, and the emergence of a new definition of urban space in total break with the past. This new definition represents a watershed with respect to space status and the transition from urban to public space by the turn of the 20th century. Streets, public buildings, domestic architecture, usage/uses and meanings change significantly. The observation of urban changes and of the transformation of the street network is organised around three levels of analysis. At general level, the actual changes of the town, the analysis of public space forms, and urban space dimensions and their impact on architectural production. The purpose of this research, which is based on the assessment of urban changes and the emergence of new municipal conceptions and urban infrastructure in Tunis in the period 1835-1935, is to contribute to the knowledge of the urban history of the town, before and after the establishmentof the French Protecorate, during a key/critical period, the analysis of which has been hidden under an ideological veil

Abstract:
La fabrication populaire des habitations et de leur aspect extérieur en particulier font l’objet de discrédit de la part des groupes dominants de la société. Considérée comme illégitime car produite en marge des procès de production officiels et architecturaux, l’esthétique vernaculaire actuelle des habitations populaires constitue pourtant la majeure partie du paysage urbain tunisois. Ce travail se veut une modeste contribution à la réhabilitation symbolique de cette fabrication et de son esthétique en particulier. L’aspect des façades telles qu’elles se présentent à la vue des passants à partir de l’espace public nous a conduite, en tant qu’architecte, à nous questionner au départ sur la façon de faire des habitants constructeurs pour fabriquer une esthétique sur la façade de leur habitation, tout en cherchant à nous enquérir de l’existence ou non d’une conscience de l’image ainsi renvoyée d’eux-mêmes à l’espace urbain. Les nombreux échanges menés avec nos interlocuteurs durant les enquêtes de terrain et l’analyse des données recueillies nous ont progressivement convaincue que les modalités de fabrication esthétique du côté habitant se basaient moins sur des considérations formelles que pratiques, ainsi que d’une considération grandissante de l’image de l’habitation telle qu’elle est renvoyée à l’espace public
The popular construction of dwellings and their appearance in particular are discredited by the dominant groups in society. Considered as illegitimate as it is produced on the margins of official and architectural production processes, the current vernacular aesthetic of popular dwellings however constitutes a major part of the Tunisian urban landscape. This work is a modest contribution to the symbolic rehabilitation of this production and its aesthetics in particular. The façades as they appear to bystanders from the public space has led me, as an architect, to initially question how the inhabitant builders proceed to create an aesthetic on the facade of their dwelling, while seeking to inquire about the existence or not of an awareness of the image thus returned to the urban space. The numerous consultations with our interlocutors during the field surveys and the analysis of the collected data gradually convinced us that the methods of aesthetic fabrication by the inhabitant were based less on formal than practical considerations, as well as a growing awareness of the image of the dwelling as it is sent back to the public space

Abstract:
La métropolisation, cette nouvelle étape dans l’histoire de l’urbanisation est en train de configurer l’espace-monde. Cette mutation spatiale, que les spécialistes l’appellent  « la territorialisation », est une œuvre de la mondialisation de l’économie et la modernisation de l’entreprise. Ce phénomène mondial se traduit à l’échelle locale par une concentration des fonctions (politiques, économiques, culturelles,…) et une redistribution de la richesse des ressources naturelles et humaines. La Tunisie n’échappe pas à ce phénomène. Sa capitale Tunis avec ses 2 247 000  habitants est en pleine phase de la métropolisation. L’espace rural périurbain est devenu le lieu de la projection de Tunis. Celle-ci s’étale au point de créer une véritable agglomération dite « le Grand Tunis » aux dépens des zones agricoles limitrophes. La présente recherche vise à préciser les tenants et aboutissants de cette métropolisation. Elle s’appuie sur l’analyse détaillée de la zone de Manouba, espace périurbain irrigué où l’impact de la métropolisation est de grande ampleur. La métropolisation s’y traduit par une polyfonctionnalité spatiale, une nouvelle pratique sociale et par conséquence une fragilisation de l’activité agricole.

Abstract:
AbstractAscidians are sessile tunicates, that is, marine animals belonging to the phylum Chordata and considered the sister group of vertebrates. They are widespread in all the seas, constituting abundant communities in various ecosystems. Among chordates, only tunicates are able to reproduce asexually, forming colonies. The high regenerative potentialities enabling tunicates to regenerate damaged body parts, or the whole body, represent a peculiarity of this taxon. Here we review the methodological approaches used in more than a century of biological studies to induce regeneration in both solitary and colonial species. For solitary species, we refer to the regeneration of single organs or body parts (e.g., siphon, brain, gonad, tunic, viscera). For colonial species, we review a plethora of experiments regarding the surgical manipulation of colonies, the regeneration of isolated colonial entities, such as single buds in the tunic, or part of tunic and its circulatory system.

Abstract:
AbstractAncient textiles are fragile and several factors can affect their integrity. In the present chapter, the main agents of deterioration of old and new textiles, namely physical-chemical (light, oxygen, heat, and humidity) and biological factors as well as human erroneous interventions will be explored. As far as the biological deterioration is considered, the effects of microbial growth, primary and secondary metabolites (acids, solvents, surfactants, pigments) and enzymes (lipases, proteases, and glycosidases) on textile strength and cleanliness will be described in details. The main fungal and bacterial species involved in the damage (textile discoloration, black and green spots, cuts) will be reported. Adhesive application during restoration procedures is discussed to highlight the risk of glue thickening giving rise to dull precipitates on the fabric.The main strategies for oil-stain and glue removal (both animal glue, such as fish collagen, and vegetal glue, i.e. starch) will be described in the paragraph devoted to biorestoration. Finally, a case study concerning an ancient Coptic tunic housed in the Egyptian Museum of Torino, Italy, and biocleaned by means of gellan-immobilized alpha-amylase from Bacillus sp. will be largely discussed by reporting historical data, adhesive characterization, methods for artificial aging of simulated sample and glue removal from the artwork.

Abstract:
This article describes the activity of a network of Corsican merchants and sailors active in the Western Mediterranean between the sixteenth and the seventeenth century, in particular in Tunis, Marseille, Leghorn and the areas of Corsica under Genoa’s rule. Based on early-seventeenth-century factums and memorials, and notary deeds and documents from the archives of the Record’s Office of the French Consulate in Tunis, this essay describes how several families of Corsican merchants – some naturalised French in Marseille, some converted to Islam in Tunis – were part of the political and economic elites of the Mediterranean area.

Abstract:
The tunic of Halocynthia roretzi is composed of cellulose Iβ, mostly in crystalline form. It was recently revealed that the tunic can actively deform in response to mechanical stimuli and acetylcholine and that the tunic has F-actin, elastic fibers, acetylcholinesterase, and neurofilaments, which are involved in this process. Most of the hemocytes in the tunic secrete an enzyme whose substrate is the same as that of α-chymotrypsin; however, the enzyme’s role has not yet been determined. In this study, it was hypothesized that the enzyme hydrolyzes the protein in the tunic to induce tunic deformation. The results show that administration of α-chymotrypsin results in deformation of the tunic in an inward direction. Tunic deformation can be induced by the secretion of hemocytes due to greater hydrolysis of protein in the inner rather than outer regions. The deformation pattern is the same as that induced by both mechanical stimuli and acetylcholine. Moreover, stimulation with an electrical field (3.4 × 102 V/m), which is too weak to deform cellulose, still causes tunic deformation, indicating involvement of the nervous system. These characteristics will be helpful for the design of an active composite material containing cellulose.
