Abstract The presented investigation focuses on the correlation between concrete physical quantities and resulting modifications. The idea is that not the different manufacturing processes itself produce the modifications but the generated physical and chemical loads. T...

We study the effect of thickness on the structural and magnetic properties of permalloy thin films, evaporated on glass substrate. The films thicknesses range from 16 to 90 nm. From X-ray diffraction spectra analysis, we show that the thinner films present a ‹1,1,1› pre...

Abstract Rarely polymer-grafted nanoparticles are shown to be able to self-assemble into stable nanostructures of different morphologies. The driving force for the assembly is a competition between a short-range attraction of the nanoparticles and long-range repulsion o...

International audience; Installation of an Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion pilot plant (OTEC) off the Caribbean coast of Martinique is expected to use approximately 100 000 m 3 h-1 of deep seawater for its functioning. This study examined the potential effects of the co...

The sustainability of energy production can be increased by combusting waste-derived solid fuels, alone or as blends with coal. This paper investigated whether two thermochemical processes (hydroth...

Abstract Engineered nano-bio cellular interfaces bring together well-defined nanoscale material morphologies with organic living systems. These extraordinarily complex interfaces are set to produce radical advances in the life sciences, through fundamental research in t...

AbstractMonitoring vessel traffic in coastal regions is a key element of maritime security. For this reason, additional ways of detecting moving vessels are explored by using the unique structure of their wake waves based on pressure measurements at the seabed. The expe...

Creating increasingly realistic groundwater models involves the inclusion of additional geological and geophysical data in the hydrostratigraphic modeling procedure. Using multiple-point statistics (MPS) for stochastic hydrostratigraphic modeling provides a degree of fl...

We investigate the use of Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) for signal detection in underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) systems. We present an analytical photon counting model for the SiPM and clarify the related noise sources. Then, for a typical UWOC link,...
