After the publication of this work [1], we became aware of the fact that the frequency of theultrasound transmitter that we used for determining the elastic moduli of the trabecular bonespecimens was not correctly specified. The oscillation frequency of the ultrasound transmitter was2 MHz (and not 100 MHz as stated in our work) while we used a sampling rate of 100 MHz. In our<lb...

Telepresence or virtual presence has became more and more commonplace thanks to evolutionof technology which implies an opening to the telework capacities. Telework is essentially linkedto virtuality and telepresence and consequently linked to robotics and computing as well ascommunications. This work deals with the methods and the tools necessary to the achievementof a tele...

This is a correction of an earlier published article. Although Dr. Tchou-Wong and Dr. Rom were originally meant to be first and seventh authors, respectively, they were left off the authorship list when this manuscript was submitted to BMC Cancer [1]. We sincerely apologise to Dr. Tchou-Wong and Dr. Rom, and have reinstated them to their appropriate places within the author list. Funding source...

Glutathione/ glutathione disulfide and ascorbic acid /dehydroascorbateare two major redox pairs that control the redox-state in a developing seed.Recently these redox compounds have been shown to exert strong positive effectson embryo development in several plants including white spruce. A picture isemerging that early-stage embryo development occurs best in the presence of a<lb...

We report on the combination of slow light propagation with the resonanceproperties of a photonic crystal cavity and with the slow mode of a photonic crystalwaveguide.We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that slow light induced by theCoherent Population Oscillation (CPO) effect enables to have small-size and ultra-high quality (Q) factor cavity, regardless of ...

Telematics is an additional medium for learning and communication . The inclusion of thenew media in the language learning process takes time. On the other hand, the learningprocess can be dealt with easily and more effectively. The information industry is becominga mega-industry which is evolving into the engine of growth in today's demands of rapidinternationalization and glob...

Most patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in Ireland are referred to orthopaedic services by their general practitioners(GPs). We aimed to evaluate Irish GPs’ expectations for their patients’ perioperative experience and post-operative return tofunction. A questionnaire was mailed to 350 GPs in all provinces. This included questions relating to GPs’ expectations for the...

Model-Independent Measurement of the Neutral-Current Interaction Rate of SolarB Neutrinos with Deuterium in the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory by Karsten Miklas Heeger Chair of Supervisory Committee:Professor R.G. Hamish RobertsonPhysics With heavy water as a target medium the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) is de-signed to study solar neutrinos by measuring both the total flux...

In this work, three surface functionalization processes have been studied: the spontaneous grafting fromdiazonium salts, the chemically induced grafting from diazonium salts and the chemically induced graftingfrom diazonium salts in presence of vinylic monomers (which is Graftfast). These processes work at roomtemperature, atmospheric pressure, in aqueous medium and without any ext...
