Gravitational instabilities exert a crucial role on the Earth dynamics and in particular on its differentiation. The Earth’s crust can be considered as a multilayered fluid with different densities and viscosities, which may become unstable in particular with variations in temperature. With the specific aim to quantify crustal scale polydiapiric in...
Adequate monitoring of automated systems is an essential aspect of procedure compliance, protective behaviour, and appropriate decisions in ultra-safe environments. In the air transport industry, the distribution of roles in a flight crew – Pilot Flying vs. Pilot Monitoring – reflects the importance of this task. Little is known about how pilot rol...
In the current literature, there is limited information on the influence of operating parameters on spatial mixing quality and how a secondary feed should be introduced into continuous oscillatory baffled reactors (COBR) to achieve good mixing quality. This work explores for the first time the impact of the position of a secondary feed (passive non...
Delafossite type Mg doped CuFeO2 thin films have been deposited on fused silica by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. As-deposited 300 nm thick films have been obtained and post-annealed between 350 and 750 °C under primary vacuum. The delafossite structure appears for the samples annealed above 550 °C. The microstructural analysis showed the pr...
The motion of a neutrally buoyant spherical particle along the axis of an axisymmetric stagnation point flow at a rigid and smooth flat wall (Hiemenz–Homann flow) is investigated in the presence of low-to-moderate inertia effects. The particle dynamics is elucidated using numerical simulation. At distances large compared to the characteristic thick...
Amaranthus cruentus is a promising raw material for the biorefinery of whole plant. Stems are composed of (i) a bark on their periphery (76% w/w), and (ii) a pith in their middle (24% w/w), both usable for material applications. It is possible to separate mechanically and continuously these two fractions thanks to a fractionation process developed ...

Background: The results of studies examining the response to experimental pain during the menstrual cycle are conflicting because of differences in the definitions of the menstrual period, outcome measures and types of experimental pain stimulation. So far, there have been only a few studies correlating experimental pain with the levels of gonadal ...
This paper is part of a multi-disciplinary research program on development and application of an integrated CO2 mineralization (ICM) framework for development of carbon mineralization as a CO2 mitigation solution. ICM is viewed as a three concentric layer system: technological, industrial integration, and decision-making. The search for viable ICM ...
The principle of quantitative acoustic microscopy (QAM) is to form two-dimensional (2D) acoustic parameter maps from a collection of radiofrequency (RF) signals acquired by raster scanning a biological sample. Despite their relatively simple structure consisting of two main reflections, RF signals are currently sampled at very high frequencies, e.g...
New Ag-Cu composite wires are developed for the winding of non-destructive pulsed magnets. Silver nanowires were mixed with a micrometric copper powder. Copper and 1, 5 and 10 vol. % silver-copper cylinders were prepared by spark plasma sintering. They served as starting materials for room temperature wire-drawing, enabling the preparation of condu...
