We report a defect state based guided-wave photoconductive detector at 1360-1630 nm telecommunication wavelength directly in standard microelectronics CMOS processes, with zero in-foundry process modification. The defect states in the polysilicon used to define a transistor gate assists light absorption. The body crystalline silicon helps form an inverse ridge waveguide to confine optical mode....

Establishing a definitive diagnosis for any form of alopecia can be challenging. Adding to the diagnostic complexity is the fact that many patients have more than one form of alopecia contributing to their hair loss. We conducted a review of 1360 consecutive scalp biopsy specimens submitted for the evaluation of scalp hair loss over a 16-month period, demonstrating that 12.5% of cases had a com...

2014 Experimental values are reported for the distortion viscoelastic and elastic ratios for a homologous series of nematic Schiff’s bases : APAPAm (m = 1-5, 9) and OHMBBA as a function of temperature. In the experiments the homodyne photoelectric self-beat technique was used to detect noise intensity spectra and to determine the angular distribution of laser light scattered by the nematic liqu...

This paper discusses the results of a survey on a concrete case of eParticipation, i.e. a campaign to get teenagers to participate in the Youth Council of the City of Lausanne. We analyse both the traditional tools (billboard ads, newspapers, official communication through schools) and the online tools (Web page, Facebook, YouTube). During our survey we used mixed methods: an online questionnai...

NGC1360 is a large planetary nebula (PN) without an obvious shell morphology. We have analyzed Hα images and high-dispersion echelle spectra of NGC1360 in order to construct spatio-kinematic models and to determine its density distribution. The best-fit model indicates that NGC 1360 is a prolate ellipsoidal shell whose major axis is twice as long as its minor axis and is tilted by 60 with respe...
