Le traité De Principe rédigé par Giovanni Pontano dans la seconde moitié du Quattrocento vise à éduquer le futur souverain, Alphonse II et à lui offrir tous les outils pour conforter sa légitimité contestée par les barons napolitains. La rhétorique de l'éloge, conjuguée au discours didactique, sert ici la construction d'un idéal de souverain, appuyé sur les modèles antiques mais aussi nourri de références contemporaines, l'humaniste proposant une véritable parénèse vers l'accession à la sagesse, qui repose sur l'acquisition d'une solide culture, condition sine qua non pour que se développent les vertus. Mais cet apprentissage demeure incomplet si le prince ne sait pas en outre se doter d'une persona destinée précisément à faire apparaître ses qualités. L'attention portée au souverain en représentation, exposée d'après les modèles de l'orateur et de l'acteur, ouvre la voix à une nouvelle conception de l'exercice du pouvoir.

We study the problem of learning the importance of preferences in preference profiles in two important cases: when individual preferences are aggregated by the ranked Pareto rule, and when they are aggregated by positional scoring rules. For the ranked Pareto rule, we provide a polynomial-time algorithm that finds a ranking of preferences such that the ranked profile correctly decides all the examples, whenever such a ranking exists. We also show that the problem to learn a ranking maximizing the number of correctly decided examples (also under the ranked Pareto rule) is NP-hard. We obtain similar results for the case of weighted profiles when positional scoring rules are used for aggregation.

The hair follicle dermal papilla is critical for hair generation and de novo regeneration. When cultured in vitro, dermal papilla cells from different species demonstrate two distinguishable growth patterns under the conventional culture condition: a self-aggregative three dimensional spheroidal (3D) cell pattern and a two dimensional (2D) monolayer cell pattern, correlating with different hair inducing properties. Whether the loss of self-aggregative behavior relates to species-specific differences or the improper culture condition remains unclear. Can the fixed 2D patterned dermal papilla cells recover the self-aggregative behavior and 3D pattern also remains undetected. Here, we successfully constructed the two growth patterns using sika deer (Cervus nippon) dermal papilla cells and proved it was the culture condition that determined the dermal papilla growth pattern. The two growth patterns could transit mutually as the culture condition was exchanged. The fixed 2D patterned sika deer dermal papilla cells could recover the self-aggregative behavior and transit back to 3D pattern, accompanied by the restoration of hair inducing capability when the culture condition was changed. In addition, the global gene expressions during the transition from 2D pattern to 3D pattern were compared to detect the potential regulating genes and pathways involved in the recovery of 3D pattern and hair inducing capability.
