Methods of increasing the performance of radionuclide generators used in nuclear medicine radiotherapy and SPECT/PET imaging were developed and detailed for 99Mo/99mTc and 68Ge/68Ga radionuclide generators as the cases. Optimisation methods of the daughter nuclide build-up versus stand-by time and/or specific activity using mean progress functions were developed for increasing the performance o...

The GATA-1-like factor Ash1 is a repressor of the HO gene, which encodes an endonuclease that is responsible for mating-type switching in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A multi-step programme, which involves a macromolecular protein complex, the secondary structure of ASH1 mRNA and the cell cytoskeleton, enables Ash1 to asymmetrically localize to the daughter cell nucleus in late anaphase ...

A shear Alfvén wave parametric instability is observed for the first time in the laboratory. When a single finite ω/Ω_{i} kinetic Alfvén wave (KAW) is launched in the Large Plasma Device above a threshold amplitude, three daughter modes are produced. These daughter modes have frequencies and parallel wave numbers that are consistent with copropagating KAW sidebands and a low frequency nonresona...

I was educated as a chemist at the University of Lille, France. After a Master of Science at Georgetown University, Washington, DC, I arrived at the Pasteur Institute in 1971, where I am still...I only interrupted this long period for 3 months in 1973 for the birth of my first daughter, 1 year to teach biochemistry in Laos in 1974 and during which my second daughter was born; my third daughter ...
