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...

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; This paper deals with construction and convergence analysis of a finite volume scheme for compressible/incompressible (gas-water) flows in porous media. The convergence properties of finite volume schemes or finite element scheme are only known f...

International audience; Transparent and colorless CeO2-activated borogermanate glasses, with the nominal composition of 25B2O3–40GeO2–14Gd2O3–1CeO2–20MO (M = Ba, Sr, Ca and Mg), were synthesized by a melt-quenching method in air. Their optical properties including the t...

© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016. In the molecular field, researchers analyze dynamics of polymers by microscopy: several measurements such as length and curvature are performed in their studies. To achieve correct analysis they need to extract the c...

International audience; Exclusive binary annihilation reactions induced by antiprotons of momentum from 1.5 to 15 GeV/c can be extensively investigated at FAIR/PANDA [1]. We are especially interested in the channel of charged pion pairs. Whereas this very probable chann...

For many jellyfish, the magnitude and timing of medusae blooms are recognized to result from the benthic stage dynamics. However, information on the scyphistomae of jellyfish populations in the wild remains scarce. Here, bi-mensual underwater photoquadrat surveys were c...

Abstract. A Land Data Assimilation System (LDAS) able to ingest surface soil moisture (SSM) and Leaf Area Index (LAI) observations is tested at local scale to increase prediction accuracy for water and carbon fluxes. The ISBA-A-gs Land Surface Model (LSM) is used togeth...

International audience; Sphingolipid metabolism is tightly controlled by enzymes to regulate essential processes in human physiology. The central metabolite is ceramide, a pro-apoptotic lipid catabolized by ceramidase enzymes to produce pro-proliferative sphingosine-1ph...

International audience; The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation underground observatory, to be located in the USA, aiming at precise measurements of long-baseline neutrino oscillations over a 1300 km baseline, detection of supernova neutrino...
