4 pages; International audience; We have irradiated Li2NH powder with MeV electrons at room temperature and investigated the introduced defects with electron spin resonance. CESR indicates the presence of nanosize metallic Li colloids seen as a Lorentzian line with a g ...

Summary There is a number of publications on red blood cell deformability, that is, on the remarkable cell ability to change its shape in response to an external force and to pass through the narrowest blood capillaries and splenic sinuses. Cell deformability is postula...

International audience; In drop ejection systems one of the major issue is the control of the ejection speed as well as the detection and the rejection of the perturbations, such as nozzle clogging that modify the ejection speed. For that, a mathematical model which acc...

The field of quantum simulation, which aims at using a tunable quantum system to simulate another, has been developing fast in the past years as an alternative to the all-purpose quantum computer. So far, most efforts in this domain have been directed to either fully re...

International audience; Although modern wave-dominated shorelines exhibit complex geomorphologies, their ancient counterparts are typically described in terms of shoreface-shelf parasequences with a simple internal architecture. This discrepancy can lead to poor discrim...

Abstract: Grassland management type (grazed or mown) and intensity (intensive or extensive) play a crucial role in the greenhouse gas balance and surface energy budget of this biome, both at field scale and at large spatial scale. However, global gridded historical info...
