Adhesive bonding is an excellent candidate for realising connections for secondary structures in structural applications such as offshore wind turbines and installations, avoiding the risk and associated welding problems. The strength of the adhesive layer is an important parameter to consider in the design process it being lower than the strength ...

Historically valuable canvas paintings are often exposed to conditions enabling microbial deterioration. Painting materials, mainly of organic origin, in combination with high humidity and other environmental conditions, favor microbial metabolism and growth. These preconditions are often present during exhibitions or storage in old buildings, such...
In many subtropical and tropical countries, the most significant food commodities produced are those that are grown from tubers and roots (R&T). The R&T include yams (Dioscorea spp. L.), cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), and sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) and edible aroids such as Taro (Colocasia esculenta Schott.) and Tannia (Xanthosom...

La recherche pour comprendre, évaluer et solutionner le fléau des atteintes anthropiques à la ressource archéologique patrimoniale française est récente. Elle suscite des questionnements qui enrichissent le débat : Quel est le cadre juridique et légal pour la protection du patrimoine archéologique français ? Comment est-il perçu par les publics? Co...
Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) are semiconductors with promising application in optoelectronic devices, particularly, in solar cell technologies. The chemical and electronic properties of MHPs at the surface and interfaces with adjacent layers dictate charge transfer within stacked devices and ultimately the efficiency of the latter. X-ray photoel...

DNA origami nanostructures provide precisely addressable substrates for in singulo experiments as well as for applications in nanotechnology. We report on experiments evaluating the stability of DNA origami upon irradiation with light at different wavelengths and buffer solutions. DNA is irradiated with nanosecond pulsed lasers and the damage is ev...

Damage accrual in SSc can be tracked using the Scleroderma Clinical Trials Consortium Damage Index (DI). Our goal was to develop a prediction model for damage accrual in SSc patients with early disease. Using patients with

Leaflet damage has been documented to occur while deploying a transcatheter aortic valve (TAV) due to mechanical loads during the crimping procedures. In this study, the impact of compressive stress on folded leaflets was measured to investigate the mechanism of traumatic leaflet tissue damage. Numerical simulation of TAV crimping procedure was ada...

15 MeV proton irradiation of vertical geometry NiO/β-Ga2O3 heterojunction rectifiers produced reductions in reverse breakdown voltage from 4.3 kV to 3.7 kV for a fluence of 1013ions·cm−2 and 1.93 kV for 1014 ions·cm−2. The forward current density was also decreased by 1–2 orders of magnitude under these conditions, with associated increase in on-st...
