Epuration des lixiviâts de décharge par lit bactérien à ruissellement (1989)

Les effluents de sites d'enfouissement technique doivent, avant de retourner dans le milieu naturel subir un traitement permettant l'elimination de la majeur partie de la pollution. Des etudes ont ete engagees par le LCPAE de l'INSA de Lyon sur le traitement biologique par lits bacteriens a ruissellement. Nous avons, dans un premier temps, etudie la traitabilite du lixiviât du site d'enfouissement technique de Menneville (Pas-de-Calais) appartenant a la Societe FRANCE-DECHETS. Ce travail effectue sur un pilote semi-industriel a permis de confirmer l'efficacite des lits bacteriens a ruissellement pour l'epuration de ces lixiviâts contenant une pollution carbonee generalement due aux Acides Gras Volatils (AGY). La seconde partie du travail a consiste a apprehender les limites de concentration que pouvaient supporter de tels traitements. Nous avons teste quatre series de produits : des sels de sodium, des chlorures, des produits soufres et des metaux( lourds. Cette recherche s'est effectuee sur des maquettes au 1/100eme du pilote precedent. Nous avons concu un lixiviât synthetique de composition parfaitement definie. Le parametre suivi a ete la degradation des AGY. La cinetique suivant un ordre apparent 1, nous avons determine pour chaque experience kt, constante de la manipulation temoin et kp constante avec perturbateur. La comparaison des produits est basee sur la C0,5 concentration pour laquelle le rapport kp/kt = 0,5. Notre etude a confirme la toxicite de certains produits et a remis en cause la notion de toxique de reference pour CdCl2, 2,5 H20. Elle a de plus mis en avant la necessite de parler de la toxicite d'un produit et non d'un ion seul. Un developpement de cette etude pourrait permettre une meilleure connaissance de la capacite des lits bacteriens a supporter des toxiques
Fuel Cells: A Real Option for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Propulsion (2014)

The possibility of implementing fuel cell technology in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) propulsion systems is considered. Potential advantages of the Proton Exchange Membrane or Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEMFC) and Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFC), their fuels (hydrogen and methanol), and their storage systems are revised from technical and environmental standpoints. Some operating commercial applications are described. Main constraints for these kinds of fuel cells are analyzed in order to elucidate the viability of future developments. Since the low power density is the main problem of fuel cells, hybridization with electric batteries, necessary in most cases, is also explored.
Synthesis of thiaprostaglandin E1 derivatives. (1985)

A series of new thiaprostaglandins, 4-thia-, 5-thia-, 6-thia-and 7-thiaprostaglandin E1 methyl esters (3b, 4b, 5b, and 6b), was synthesized by a three-component coupling process using a chiral common synthon, (R)-4-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-2-cyclopentenone (1). Among these thiaprostaglandins, 7-thiaprostaglandin E1 methyl ester showed the most potent platelet aggregationinhibiting activity.
Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composites (2006)

Advanced cementitious composites can be designed to have outstanding combinations of strength (five to ten times that of conventional concrete) and energy absorption capacity (up to 1000 times that of plain concrete). This second edition brings together in one volume the latest research developments in this rapidly expanding area. The book is split
C++ TM Toolkit for DOS (2018)

This chapter introduces aminimal C++ programming toolkit for developing space image processing applications. The toolkit, named Thematic Mapper_DOS, is compatible with Thematic Mapper images from the Landsat satellites. The chapter explores the C++ code call low-level routines that serve as device drivers. Although it is possible to implement low-level functions in C++, most programmers agree that it is easier and more efficient to develop the low-level routines directly in Assembly Language and to call them from the high-level code. The chapter shows that two examples of interfacing C++ and Assembly Language code. The first one is based on the use of C++ compilers by Microsoft or IBM, and the second one on Borland compilers. Microsoft’s and Borland’s versions of C++ have a common interface characteristic: the SI and DI machine registers are used to store the values of variables defined with the “register” keyword.

Subcellular distribution of metformin in rat liver (1991)

The subcellular localization of metformin was studied in livers of 18 h fasted rats treated orally with [14C]metformin 20 microCi kg-1, 50 mg kg-1. Sequential determination of 14C radioactivity showed that maximum concentrations of metformin in plasma (about 15 mumol L-1) and liver (about 50 mumol kg-1) were achieved at 30-60 min and approximately half-maximal concentration were achieved at 4 h. At 30 min and 4 h after administration of [14C]metformin, livers were removed and homogenized. Nuclear, mitochondrial and lysosomal, mixed membrane, and cytosolic fractions were separated by ultra-centrifugation. Distribution of 14C was similar at both time points, being greatest in the cytosolic fraction (78% of total radioactivity, and 60-69% of relative specific activity). Small amounts of 14C were associated with the other fractions. The total radioactivity and relative specific activity were respectively 2-3% and 7-8% in the nuclear fraction, 9-10% and 7-10% in the mitochondrial and lysosomal fraction, and 8-9% and 13-14% in the mixed membrane fraction. The higher concentration of metformin in liver compared with plasma suggests that metformin enters hepatocytes via a specific mechanism, and is distributed mainly within the cytosol.
Polythiophene-g-poly(ethylene glycol) with Lateral Amino Groups as a Novel Matrix for Biosensor Construction (2015)

In the ever-expanding field of conducting polymer research, functionalized graft hybrid copolymers have gained considerable interest in the biomedical engineering and biosensing applications, particularly. In the present work, a new biosensor based on conducting graft copolymer for the detection of phenolic compounds was developed. Thereby, a robust and novel material, namely “polythiophene-g-poly(ethylene glycol) with lateral amino groups” (PT-NH2-g-PEG) hybrid conducting polymer was synthesized via Suzuki condensation polymerization and characterized with 1H NMR analysis, UV–vis spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and fluorescence spectroscopy. PT-NH2-g-PEG architecture was then applied as an immobilization matrix to accomplish extended biosensing function. In a typical process, Laccase was utilized as a model enzyme for the detection of phenolic compounds. Detailed surface characterization of PT-NH2-g-PEG/Lac was performed by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, fluorescence microscopy and scanning electron microscopy measurements. Optimum pH and polymer amount were found to be pH 6.5 and 0.5 mg polymer, respectively, with the linear range of 0.0025–0.05 mM and 132.45 μA/mM sensitivity. The kinetic parameters of PT-NH2-g-PEG/Lac are 0.026 mM for Kmapp and 7.38 μA for Imax, respectively. Furthermore, the PT-NH2-g-PEG/Lac biofilm was retained 82% of its activity for 12 days indicating excellent recovery as tested with artificial wastewater.
Structure-Based Design of Type II Inhibitors Applied to Maternal Embryonic Leucine Zipper Kinase (2014)

A novel Type II kinase inhibitor chemotype has been identified for maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase (MELK) using structure-based ligand design. The strategy involved structural characterization of an induced DFG-out pocket by protein-ligand X-ray crystallography and incorporation of a slender linkage capable of bypassing a large gate-keeper residue, thus enabling design of molecules accessing both hinge and induced pocket regions. Optimization of an initial hit led to the identification of a low-nanomolar, cell-penetrant Type II inhibitor suitable for use as a chemical probe for MELK.
Patterned Production of Silver−Mesoporous Titania Nanocomposite Thin Films Using Lithography-Assisted Metal Reduction (2009)

A simple method that allows selective positioning of nanoparticles into mesoporous monolayer or multilayer thin films is presented. This technique applies UV lithography in order to bring about in situ light-induced reduction of silver in templated cavities of TiO2. The nanoparticle lithography presented here provides a novel approach to hierarchical lithography patterning for multifunctional devices.
Interoperability among Service Registry Implementations: Is UDDI Standard Enough? (2008)

The aim of this paper is to reveal some intrinsic disadvantages of the current version of UDDI standard, which create problems in using it as a standard for private, in-house storage of enterprise services. Examples include: access control mechanisms in UDDI, limited rich queries capability, inappropriate mapping of Web service artifacts into UDDI entities, impossibility of managing classification system values, etc. For each disadvantage we consider, we give an illustrative example of its impact in an enterprise service environment. To overcome these disadvantages, some service registry implementations, based on UDDI introduce proprietary extensions to the standard, or embed additional programmatic logic in their client modules of UDDI, which decreases interoperability between them.
Nonlinear optical studies of the pure liquid/vapor interface: Vibrational spectra and polar ordering (1991)

Using infrared-visible sum-frequency generation we have obtained the vibrational spectra of CH stretches of methanol molecules at the interface between methanol vapor and liquid. This is the first vibrational spectrum ever observed from a neat liquid surface. The measured polarization dependence and phase of the nonlinear susceptibility allow us to conclude that the surface methanol molecules are polar oriented with the ${\mathrm{CH}}_{3}$ group pointing away from the liquid with a very broad orientational distribution.
134 sample multi-cathode source of negative ions by cesium sputtering (134 MC-SNICS) (1999)

A high-intensity cesium sputter negative ion source has been designed for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS). The source was developed for use in high-precision AMS as well as high-throughput AMS, with cathode change times of 2 seconds and typical beam current rise times of 3 seconds. The 134 MC-SNICS holds 134 samples in vacuum at one time. A wheel change and resumption of data acquisition takes 45 minutes or less. Wheel change is convenient and rapid. Mass analyzed 12C currents of over 100 μA are typical. The 134 MC-SNICS source has been delivered with a 5 MV Pelletron AMS System to CBAMS, Ltd., York, England, and acceptance tests have been completed. AMS performance data follows a description of the source.
A multi-band Noise-aware MAC protocol for underwater acoustic sensor networks (2013)

We present a MAC protocol for underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASN) able to overcome the shortcomings induced by the temporary presence of noise sources within, or close-by, the region covered by the UASN. Our solution, named NAMAC for Noise-aware MAC protocol, exploits the ability of nodes equipped with multi-band modems to rapidly switch the frequency band used for communications upon detecting an increase of the in-band noise. Neighboring nodes may collectively decide to migrate to a different band and, as soon as the noise source is no longer impairing communications, to switch back to the default one. NAMAC also ensures connectivity across regions operating on different frequency bands induced by a different impact of noise at different locations. Additionally, if nodes are equipped with acoustic sensors able to monitor low frequencies, i.e., in the range from 0 to 5 kHz, NAMAC can exploit this capability to detect the approaching of a noisy vessel in advance, since noise at low frequencies is audible at larger distances. In this way, nodes can be pre-alerted for a band switch. We perform an extensive comparative performance evaluation of NAMAC based on ns-2 MIRACLE simulations. The noise frequency spectrum used in our simulations reproduces that of existing powerboats. Our performance evaluation shows that NAMAC is able to significantly outperform existing noise unaware MAC protocols that use a single band, increasing the network reliability in the presence of temporary noise sources like passing-by noisy vessels.
Insulin Secretion during the Glucose Tolerance Test in Antisocial Personality (1983)

In 23 young male adults with antisocial personality, mostly guilty of violent crimes, insulin measurements during the glucose tolerance test showed an enhanced insulin secretion only in those with unsocialized aggressive conduct disorder. The hypothesis that in antisocial personality there are at least two aetiologically different groups is supported.
Alkane solubilization in soluble monolayers of 4(4′-alkylphenylazo) benzenesulfonates at the air-water surface (2007)

In the present contribution a series of 4-(4′-alkylphenylazo) benzenesulfonates (CnAzoSO3Na, where hydrocarbon chain Cn is from C8H17 to C12H25) were synthesized by generating lithioazobenzenes from bromoazobenzenes, which were then quenched with bromotrimethylsilane. The resulting trimethylsilylazobenzenes easily undergo an electrophilic reaction with sulfur trioxide-pyridine complex to give appropriate sulfonic acids which after neutralization provide the CnAzoSO3Na studied. Alkane which do not spread macroscopically on aqueous anionic surfactants can be mixed with the monolayer chains of ionic surfactants producing two-dimensional solutions. The surface concentration of n-alkane (octane, decane, dodecane) in the surfactant monolayer was determined using the surface tension method. Volume uptake of alkane and hydrocarbon layer thickness on the assumption of liquid-like model of mixed film was calculated. The premicellar aggregation occurring in the solution of the azobenzenecontaining surfactants was verified by the cyclic voltammetry. The influence of alkyl chain length and photochromic azobenzene grouping open the area occupied per surfactant and per alkane molecule in saturated surfactant monolayer was discussed.

Analgesic hypnotic treatment in a post-stroke patient (2021)

In recent years, hypnotic suggestions have been used in several clinical conditions. This treatment is often used for anxiety treatment, somatization, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Hypnotic analgesia is one of the most clinically useful phenomena of hypnosis. The article describes the case of a patient who underwent hypnotic treatments for hypersensitivity and chronic pain. Results showed an improvement of pain control and a decrease of pain hypersensibility. In addition, during rehabilitative treatments, the patient reported a high level of compliance with the multidisciplinary team. These findings suggest that hypnosis could be a useful treatment for post-stroke pain management.

A video digital signal processor with a vector-pipeline architecture (1992)

A 2-GOPS, 60-MIPS DSP with a new vector-pipeline architecture (VDSP: vector digital signal processor) has been developed for video CODEC systems, using 0.8- mu m CMOS technology. The VDSP is programmable and can be adapted to handle various standards for video coding, such as those of CCITT H.261, MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group), and JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group). It also contains a discrete cosine transform (DCT) core as one of the special processing units used to enhance performance. The 12.38-mm*12.90-mm VDSP, which consists of approximately 930 K transistors, operates at a maximum clock rate of 60 MHz. The encoder and the decoder specified in CCITT H.261 (full-CIF mode at 15 frames/s or more, 64 kb/s) can be realized with only two VDSP chips and only one VDSP chip, respectively.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Insulin pump therapy: acceptable alternative to injection therapy. (1996)

Initiation of insulin therapy is an exhilarating although anxiety-provoking experience for diabetic patients. It is, in a metaphysical sense, a time of rebirth. Patients are no longer victims of their diabetes but truly masters of it. No statement better illustrates how basic this change is than that of a patient who says, "What a difference it has made in my life to eat a meal because I want to, not because I have to." This article examines a means of insulin delivery that is growing in acceptance--insulin pump therapy.
Enhanced Performance and SRAM Stability in FinFET with Reduced Process Steps for Source/Drain Doping (2008)

Improved static noise margin in SRAM of 18% and decreased intrinsic inverter delay of 6% is demonstrated for the first time in double-gate CMOS finFET with gate- source/drain underlap doping. The excellent results are achieved by optimization of the spacer while simplifying the processing of source/drain region by skipping costly implants. Improved circuit and device performance with reduced processing steps make finFETs a more attractive option for 32 nm technology node and beyond.
Diversity in sphingolipid metabolism across land plants (2021)

Sphingolipids are essential metabolites found in all plant species. They are required for plasma membrane integrity, tolerance of and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, and intracellular signalling. There is extensive diversity in the sphingolipid content of different plant species, and in the identities and roles of enzymes required for their processing. In this review, we survey results obtained from investigations of the classical genetic model Arabidopsis thaliana, from assorted dicots with less extensive genetic toolkits, from the model monocot Oryza sativa, and finally from the model bryophyte Physcomitrium patens. For each species or group, we first broadly summarize what is known about sphingolipid content. We then discuss the most insightful and puzzling features of modifications to the hydrophobic ceramides, and to the polar headgroups of complex sphingolipids. Altogether, these data can serve as a framework for our knowledge of sphingolipid metabolism across the plant kingdom. This chemical and metabolic heterogeneity underpins equally diverse functions. With greater availability of different tools for analytical measurements and genetic manipulation, our field is entering an exciting phase of expanding our knowledge of the biological functions of this persistently cryptic class of lipids.

Determination of Local Packing Structure of Mesomorphic Form of Isotactic Polypropylene by Solid-State NMR (2015)

Understanding the local packing structures of a disordered mesomorphic phase is a challenging issue in polymer characterization. In this work, <sup>13</sup>C-<sup>13</sup>C through-space interactions, as well as a molecular dynamics analysis based on the reorientation of chemical shift anisotropy (CSA), were proposed for the evaluation of the local packing structure of the mesomorphic form of isotactic polypropylene (<i>i</i>PP). <sup>13</sup>C-<sup>13</sup>C double quantum (DQ) buildup curves of <sup>13</sup>C 15% CH<sub>3</sub> selectively labeled <i>i</i>PP and spin-dynamics simulations demonstrated that the local packing structures in the mesomorphic form were very similar to the packing in the β phase. Moreover, centerband only detection of exchange (CODEX) NMR proved that the correlation time ⟨τ<sub>c</sub>⟩ of the overall stem dynamics in the mesomorphic form followed the same Arrhenius line observed for the β phase, but it deviated from that for the α phase. Based on both structural and dynamic results, it was concluded that the local packing structure in the mesomorphic form was exceedingly close or the same as that of the β phase.
Argon plasma bridge neutralizer operation with a 10-cm-beam-diameter ion etching source (1978)

The plasma bridge neutralizer operating on argon offers a long-life, contamination-free method of neutralizing the ion beams of industrial etching and deposition sources. The neutralizer described herein is capable of neutralizing the 200-mA beam produced by the 10-cm-diameter ion source used for these tests. Beam plasma potential and electron temperature are essentially the same as those from an immersed thermionic emitter neutralizer. Lifetimes 3 to 5 times as great as immersed wires were obtained with the plasma bridge neutralizer in similar reactive environments.
Knowledge Distillation for Mobile Edge Computation Offloading (2020)

Edge computation offloading allows mobile end devices to put execution of compute-intensive task on the edge servers. End devices can decide whether offload the tasks to edge servers, cloud servers or execute locally according to current network condition and devices' profile in an online manner. In this article, we propose an edge computation offloading framework based on Deep Imitation Learning (DIL) and Knowledge Distillation (KD), which assists end devices to quickly make fine-grained decisions to optimize the delay of computation tasks online. We formalize computation offloading problem into a multi-label classification problem. Training samples for our DIL model are generated in an offline manner. After model is trained, we leverage knowledge distillation to obtain a lightweight DIL model, by which we further reduce the model's inference delay. Numerical experiment shows that the offloading decisions made by our model outperforms those made by other related policies in latency metric. Also, our model has the shortest inference delay among all policies.
EVOLUTION OF WHEAT STREAK MOSAIC VIRUS: Dynamics of Population Growth Within Plants May Explain Limited Variation (2003)

Like many other plant RNA viruses, Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) sequence diversity within and among infected plants is low given the large number of virions produced. This may be explained by considering aspects of plant virus life history. Intracellular replication of RNA viruses is predominately linear, not exponential, which means that the rate at which mutations accumulate also is linear. Bottlenecks during systemic movement further limit diversity. Analysis of mixed infections with two WSMV isolates suggests that about four viral genomes participate in systemic invasion of each tiller. Low effective population size increases the role of stochastic processes on dynamics of plant virus population genetics and evolution. Despite low pair-wise diversity among isolates, the number of polymorphic sites within the U.S. population is about the same as between divergent strains or a sister species. Characteristics of polymorphism in the WSMV coat protein gene suggest that most variation appears neutral.
