Structure-dynamics-function relationships in Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) myoglobin. An optical spectroscopy and flash photolysis study on functi…
1993
In this work we report the thermal behavior (10–300 K) of the Soret band lineshape of deoxy and carbonmonoxy derivatives of Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) and horse myoglobins together with their carbon monoxide recombination kinetics after flash photolysis; the results are compared to analogous data relative to sperm whale myoglobin. The Soret band profile is modeled as a Voigt function that accounts for the coupling with high and low frequency vibrational modes, while inhomogeneous broadening is taken into account with suitable distributions of purely electronic transition frequencies. This analysis makes it possible to isolate the various contributions to the overall lineshape that; in…

Laser Cladding of TiC for Better Titanium Components
2011
Pure commercial titanium is widely used because of its high corrosion resistance and lower cost compared with other titanium alloys, in particular when there is no high wear requirements. Nevertheless, the wear resistance is poor and surface damage usually occurs in areas under contact loadings. Laser cladding is a suitable technique for manufacturing precise and defect free coatings of a dissimilar material with higher wear and corrosion resistance. In this work a good understanding of laser metal deposition mechanisms allowed to obtain defect free coatings of Ti6Al4V and TiC metal matrix composite (MMC) using a flash lamp pumped Nd:YAG laser of 1 kW. A complete investigation of the proces…
Porous architecture and thermal properties of thermal barrier coatings deposited by suspension plasma spray
2020
Abstract Besides the intrinsic low heat transfer capability of material, the thermal insulation property of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) also relies on their microstructures. For better understanding the relationship between process parameters, porous architecture, and thermal properties of coatings, YSZ coatings were firstly manufactured by suspension plasma spray (SPS). Afterwards their total porosities were characterized by using the technique of X-ray transmission, the nano/submicro pores in those coatings were detected with Ultra-Small Angle X-ray Scattering (USAXS), and the thermal properties of coatings were measured using the laser flash method. The results indicated that: i) the…
Ceramique/metal component elaborated by flash sintering for ballistic protection
2012
This dissertation describes the synthesis of new components for ballistic protection with the assistance of flash sintering. Indeed, the objective is to associate two compounds showing very different sintering temperatures – such as alumina and aluminum, two reference materials for ballistic protection applications.The first synthesis method tested was the elaboration of a bi-material via the sintering of aluminump owder on alumina bulks. This study permitted to observe the formation of the alumina/aluminum bonding by scanning and transmission electron microscopy and to optimize the assembly parameters in order to obtain a bimaterials howing a strong interfacial cohesion. Adapted characteri…
Technologies for cultivation and exploitation of microalgae in industrial applications
2020
This thesis work is focused on technologies for the development of the microalgal industry. During this 3-years PhD work several themes were addressed. Section 1 consists in a literature review concerning the general features of microalgae, their composition and a description of the photosynthetic process. Furthermore, themes such as biosynthetic pathways, growth kinetics, microalgae cultivation and their applications are reviewed. Section 2 focuses on the genetic manipulation of microalgae aimed at producing a vitamin B12-enriched food supplement. In this case, the human intrinsic factor gene, was inserted in the genome of the microalgae Chlamydomonas reinardhtii in order to integrate new …
Robust technique for 3D shape reconstruction
2017
Abstract In this paper a robust and simple scheme is presented for three dimensional (3D) shape reconstruction of real object. A novel composite pattern technique is proposed for projecting the light pattern on the object of interest. The proposed scheme reduces the number of patterns by combining the primary color coded channels into one composite format. Our approach uses both spatial and temporal intensity variation for calibration and construction phase. Gamma calibration is considered with the propose scheme. High quality depth map is obtained from the linear light reflected by the shape of object without complex calculations. Experimental results demonstrated that proposed technique i…
Naphthothiete und ihre Anwendung in der Heterocyclen-Synthese
1995
Naphtothietes and Their Application to the Synthesis of Heterocycles The three isomeric naphthothietes 5, 11, and 16 were prepared according to the reaction sequences shown in Schemes 1–3. The final step was in each case a flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) of the corresponding mercaptonaphthalenemethanol 4, 9, and 15, respectively. The thiete rings in 5 and 11 can be opened by gentle heating; the ring opening of the isomer 16 possesses a much higher activation barrier. A MNDO calculation of the ΔHf values of 5, 11, and 16 and the open isomers 5′, 11′, and 16′ provides an explanation for the different behavior. Photochemical ring opening represents a useful alternative. The reaction Schemes 4, 6,…
Iodine and mercury resonance lamps for kinetics experiments and their spectra in the far ultraviolet
2000
Electrodeless iodine and mercury iodide radio-frequency discharge lamps have been made to provide intense sources of resonance radiation of iodine and mercury in the 183-253 nm region. Production technology and emission spectra in the ultraviolet and vacuum ultraviolet regions are described. Both lamps (iodine and mercury iodide) are designed and used for monitoring the iodine 2P1/2 (206.163 nm) and 2P3/2 (183.038 nm) level population kinetics after flash photolysis of I2 or other precursor molecules in laboratory experiments. The technique is suitable for the investigation of the gas phase reaction kinetics following the photolysis of I2 in the presence of O3.
