The electrons found in Dirac materials are notorious for being difficult to manipulate due to the Klein phenomenon and absence of backscattering. Here we investigate how spatial modulations of the Fermi velocity in two-dimensional Dirac materials can give rise to locali...

Abstract eCHORD is an alternative method for orientation mapping in Scanning Electron Microscopy that involves channeling contrast observed in BSE images. The sample tilt being small (10°), eCHORD could be a promising method for large scale maps as it limits the image d...

This paper describes a transportable distance measurement system based on synthetic wavelength interferometry using two frequency-doubled Nd:YAG lasers. To eliminate polarization crosstalk issue, a different system has been set up from those usually described in the lit...

International audience; The design and characterization of amorphous alternating copolymers endowed with a satisfactory thermal stability are reported. These alternating poly(CTFE- alt -CEVE) copolymers are synthesized by radical copolymerization of chlorotrifl uoroethy...

This work was supported by the grants by the Region Aquitaine (to E.M.B) and PEPS (Initial Support for Exploratory Projects to E.M.B) and National Agency for Research (Grant ANR-14-CE19-0006-01 to E.M.B). Plasmodesmata are remarkable cellular machines responsible for th...

Postmortem (PM) meat tenderization is a complex biochemical process that involves multiple endogenous proteolytic enzymes and that is not completely understood. Cell death by apoptosis is recently proposed as a novel mechanism in this process. The signification of the c...

International audience; We described an efficient in situ generation of hydroxypyruvate from d‐serine catalyzed by a d‐amino acid oxidase from Rhodotorula gracilis. This strategy revealed an interesting alternative to the conventional chemical synthesis of hydroxypyruva...

International audience; This study presents a two-steps synthesis of novel additive or reactive phosphorus-and-sulfur-containing flame retardants (P-FR) for epoxy thermosets. The first step consists in totally epoxydizing the phloroglucinol. Then, the epoxy functions gr...

Abstract In this work we extend recently proposed observer designs based on high-gain to a more general first order quasilinear hyperbolic system of balance laws. This class of systems is written in an observable form with two states, two different characteristic veloci...

International audience; Trophic conditions and water temperature strongly influence bivalve physiological processes and metabolism. In black-lip pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera, these parameters have been shown to affect shell biomineralization. The present study in...
