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 ...

The single-electron devices (SEDs) are novel devices based on a new operation concept and technologies, with great scaling potential that has been fabricated and is under investigation. The SEDs are based on the controllable transfer of single electrons (SEs) between sm...

Magnetic resonance (MR) T and T* mapping allows quantification of liver relaxation times for non-invasive characterization of diffuse liver disease. We hypothesized that liver relaxation times are not only influenced by liver fibrosis, inflammation and fat, but also by ...

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...

Background: To compare conventional electrosurgery, LigaSure (Valleylab, Boulder, CO), and Harmonic scalpel (Ethicon Endosurgery, Cincinnati, OH) in terms of perioperative and postoperative outcomes during laparoscopic myomectomy (LM). Methods: We retrospectively studie...

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...

Ferroelectret-based piezoelectric transducers are, nowadays, commonly used in energy harvesting applications due to their high piezoelectric activity. Unfortunately, the processing properties of such materials are limited, and new solutions are sought. This paper presen...
