Effet de cycles hydriques sur la perméabilité de matériaux limono-sableux compactés
L'application de cycles hydriques sur des sols compactés statiquement à 95% de l'optimum Proctor normal, a des effets sur les propriétés du sol compacté. L'expérience menée jusqu'à 6 et 12 cycles en utilisant du limon sableux B5 en provenance d'une digue de Loire, a montré une augmentation de la perméabilité, une augmentation de la macroporosité as...

Shrinkage behaviour of a compacted lime-treated clay
Shrinkage of expansive soils may cause serious problems to geotechnical and geo-environmental structures. In this study, the shrinkage behaviour of compacted clay treated with 4% lime was investigated. The samples of compacted clay without lime-treatment were also tested for the purpose of comparison. Besides, changes in microstructure were analyze...
Biodegradable zinc-containing mesoporous silica nanoparticles for cancer therapy
...
Triple-negative breast cancers are extremely aggressive with limited treatment options because of the reduced response of the cancerous cells to hormonal therapy. Here, monodispersed zinc-containing mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs-Zn) were produced as a tuneable biodegradable platform for delivery of therapeutic zinc ions into cells. We demo...
