An estimated 70% of the electricity in the United States currently passes through power conversion electronics, and this percentage is projected to increase eventually to up to 100%. At a global scale, wide adoption of highly efficient power electronics technologies is thus anticipated to have a major impact on worldwide energy consumption. As desc...
Cet article s’intéresse à la mise en langage de la cause écologique élaborée par les ingénieurs français engagés dans les organisations militantes. Si la délimitation du problème pris en charge s’inscrit dans un diagnostic façonné par les autorités et les entrepreneurs de cause scientifiques, l’explicitation des chaînes causales de responsabilité e...

The Heavy Photon Search experiment (HPS) at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility searches for electro-produced dark photons. We report results from the 2016 Engineering Run consisting of 10608/nb of data for both the prompt and displaced vertex searches. A search for a prompt resonance in the $e^+e^-$ invariant mass distribution betwe...

Plant pathogens destroy crops and cause severe yield losses, leading to an insufficient food supply to sustain the human population. Apart from relying on natural plant immune systems to combat biological agents or waiting for the appropriate evolutionary steps to occur over time, researchers are currently seeking new breakthrough methods to boost ...
Virtual laboratories (VL) have had a special interest in recent years in which immersive education is attractive to students and complements the teaching and learning processes in institutions of diverse educational levels. Although there are several types of virtual laboratories used at various educational levels, there are important challenges fo...
El presente artículo traza una revisión de lo que actualmente se entiende por ciencia, arte y tecnología para poder mostrar cómo la ingeniería moderna y en particular la ingeniería civil, es un compendio de los tres componentes, siendo el medio necesario para la sostenibilidad ambiental y social hoy requeridas. La ingeniería se enfrenta a problemas...
