Eight potentially toxic trace elements were investigated together with the physicochemical characteristics of sediments collected upstream, downstream, and from various ponds from three adjacent carbonated agricultural catchments in southwestern France. Geochemical indices with local references and multivariate data analysis revealed a significant ...

We conducted a pilot study using a passive radio-wave-based home monitor in individuals with Parkinson disease (PD) with a focus on gait, home activity, and time in bed. We enrolled 7 ambulatory individuals to have the device installed in the bedroom of their homes over 8 weeks and performed standard PD assessments at baseline. We evaluated the abi...
Endogenous electric fields drive many essential functions relating to cell proliferation, motion, differentiation and tissue development. They are usually mimicked in vitro by using electrochemical systems to apply direct current or voltage stimuli to cell cultures. The many studies devoted to this topic have given rise to a wide variety of experim...
Porous carbonaceous materials have many important industrial applications including energy storage, water purification, and adsorption of volatile organic compounds. Most of their applications rely upon the adsorption of molecules or ions within the interior pore volume of the carbon particles. Understanding the behaviour and properties of adsorbat...
Densification and grain growth mechanisms of Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia sintered by Spark Plasma Sintering are investigated. Sintering trajectories of four commercial submicronic powders with different average particle sizes and yttria amounts have been established and sintering regimes determined. Densification mechanisms are determined in the reg...
Single and sequential extractions are current and useful tools for estimating the availability of metals in soils or sediments. Many chemical extraction procedures have been proposed in the literature, making the comparison difficult. This study compares the data consistency of the potential availability given by four chemical extractions commonly ...
Previous experimental results indicate that the humidification conditions at the anode have an impact on the liquid water distribution in the cathode gas diffusion layer. Numerical simulations are developed to reproduce and analyze this effect. Results consistent with the experimental results are first obtained by playing with the partition coeffic...
Vitrimers constitute a fascinating class of polymer materials that make the link between the historically opposed 3D networks (thermosets) and linear polymers (thermoplastics). Their chemical resistance, reshaping ability, and unique rheological behavior upon heating make them promising for future applications in industry. However, many vitrimers r...
Tris(dimethylsilyl)amine (TDMSA) is used in the presence of O2 and NH3 for the atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of conformal, corrosion barrier silicon oxynitride (SiOxNy) films at moderate temperature. Plausible decomposition pathways taking place during the process, as well as resulting gas-phase by-products, are investigated ...
The main environmental impact of olive oil production is the disposal of residues such as pomace and water vegetation. During the olive oil extraction process, the olive stone is milled and discharged within the olive pomace. However, olive stone flour can be valorized as filler for poly‐meric composites. A life cycle assessment of the olive pomace...
