Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) extracted from aerobic granular sludge are a promising source of gelforming biopolymers. Gaining insights on the charge distribution of these polymers was performed through a fractionation using anionic chromatography. A gelling factor (GF) based on the apparent gel volume and the reactivity of polymers to c...
The depletion of fossil fuels and increased atmospheric CO2 levels have precipitated a global energy and environmental crisis. The cultivation of microalgae offers a viable remedy by utilizing solar energy and assimilating CO2 for biofuel production via photosynthesis. Microalgae demonstrate rapid growth in diverse environments, rendering them a de...
The objective of this paper was to assess the possibility of estimating 6D ground reaction forces and moments during continuous double supports exercises using instrumented force insoles. Thanks to machine learning regression, the study evaluated the performance of an embedded solution in comparison to a reference laboratory grade force plate. Whil...
The conversion of plant cell walls into bioproducts offers a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based products by recycling atmospheric CO2 and reducing our reliance on fossil carbon. However, the resistance of plant cell walls to deconstruction, known as recalcitrance, significantly increases the cost and complexity of this conversion process. D...
Bioleaching is a promising and feasible option for metal extraction from sulfidic mine wastes. The main objective of this study was to investigate how the gas-liquid mass transfer phenomena affect the bioleaching of sulfidic mining wastes, with the ultimate goal of optimizing the gas supply. Experiments were performed in four continuous stirred tan...
This study provides a comparative overview of drinking water quality parameters in Africa and the United States, highlighting their implications for public health. Water quality encompasses physical, chemical, biological, and radiological characteristics, with significant variations influenced by source conditions and treatment processes. In Africa...
The DNA computing field consists in using DNA as dynamic building blocks. By interacting together, they can implement small algorithms and effectively compute. Many successful approaches were made. For instance, by implementing logical circuits where reconfigurations of DNA complexes progressively evaluate the network. Another approach is to attach...
Tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital heart disease affecting newborns and involves stenosis of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). Surgical correction often widens the RVOT with a transannular enlargement patch, but this causes issues including pulmonary valve insufficiency and progressive right ventricle failure. A monocusp valve can preven...

The objective of this work was to develop an integrated ultrasound-assisted deep eutectic solvent-based process for extracting astaxanthin-rich extracts (ARE) from dried biomass of the non-conventional aerobic Gram-negative marine bacterium P. carotinifaciens. Deep eutectic solvents (DES) composed of choline chloride (HBA) and carboxylic acids/alco...
