Electrostatics of Planar Multielectrode Sensors with Application to Surface Elastometry

Systems of planar electrodes arranged on dielectric or piezoelectric layers are applied in numerous sensors and transducers. In this paper electrostatics of such electrode systems is presented and exploited in the analysis of distributed piezoelectric transducer dedicated to surface elastometry of biological tissues characterized by large Poisson modulus. The fundamental Matlab R © code for ana...

Graceful graphs with pendant edges

Polyethene with pendant 3-thienyl functionalities.

Polyethene with 3-thienyl functionalities pendant on short-chain branches was prepared by catalytic random copolymerisation of ethene and 3-(penten-1-yl)thiophene; the functionalities can be used to graft poly(3-hexylthiophene) onto the polyethene surface.

Infection au parvovirus B19 pendant la grossesse.

Résultats : La littérature publiée a été récupérée par l’intermédiaire de recherches menées dans PubMed et The Cochrane Library le 8 juillet 2013 au moyen d’un vocabulaire contrôlé (« parvovirus » et « pregnancy ») et de mots clés (« parvovirus », « infection », « pregnancy », « hydrops ») appropriés. Les résultats ont été restreints aux analyses systématiques, aux essais comparatifs randomisés...

Breakup of a pendant magnetic drop.

We report experiments on a millimeter-sized pendant drop of ferrofluid in a horizontal magnetic field. The initial drop size is chosen just below the breakup threshold under gravity. As the magnetic field is increased, the drop tilts in order to align with the direction of the total volume force that is exerted on it: weight plus magnetic force. The breakup is controlled by a generalized Bond n...
