Morphological and chemical dynamics upon electrochemical cyclic sodiation of electrochromic tungsten oxide coatings extracted by in situ ellipsometry.
2020
The sodiation–desodiation process of sputtered amorphous electrochromic tungsten oxide coatings in an aqueous-based medium was simultaneously monitored over 99 cycles by cyclic voltammetry and in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry. This allowed extracting the evolution of optical and geometrical parameters upon cycling. The resulting electrochemical coloring-bleaching process was dynamically fitted in the 1.8–2.8 eV optical range with a four-phase model including a constrained spline parametrization of the dielectric function. This allows real time access to thickness, surface roughness, and dielectric function of N a x W O 3 . The temporal evolution of the latter in the fully colored state wa…
Depth matters : Effects of precipitation regime on soil microbial activity upon rewetting of a plant-soil system
2018
International audience; Climate change is predicted to affect not only the amount but also the temporal distribution of rain. Changes in frequency and amplitude of rain events, i.e. precipitation patterns, result in different water conditions with soil depth, and likely affect plant growth and shape plant and soil microbial activity. Here, we used 18O stable isotope probing (SIP) to investigate bacterial and fungal communities that actively grew or not upon rewetting, at three different depths in plant-soil mesocosms previously subjected to frequent or infrequent watering for 12 weeks (equal total water input). Phylogenetic marker genes for bacteria and fungi were sequenced after rewetting,…
Modeling lead input and output in soils using lead isotopic geochemistry
2004
The aim of this study is to model downward migration of lead from the plow layer of an experimental site located in Versailles (about 15 km southwest of Paris, France). Since 1928, samples have been collected annually from the topsoil of three control plots maintained in bare fallow. Thirty samples from 10 different years were analyzed for their lead and scandium contents and lead isotopic compositions. The fluxes are simple because of the well-controlled experimental conditions in Versailles: only one output flux, described as a first-order differential function of the anthropogenic lead pool, was taken into account; the inputs were exclusively ascribed to atmospheric deposition. The combi…
[div]Long-term dynamics of the atrazine mineralization potential in surface and subsurface soil in an agricultural field as a response to atrazine ap…
2012
Abstract The dynamics of the atrazine mineralization potential in agricultural soil was studied in two soil layers (topsoil and at 35–45 cm depth) in a 3 years field trial to examine the long term response of atrazine mineralizing soil populations to atrazine application and intermittent periods without atrazine and the effect of manure treatment on those processes. In topsoil samples, 14 C-atrazine mineralization lag times decreased after atrazine application and increased with increasing time after atrazine application, suggesting that atrazine application resulted into the proliferation of atrazine mineralizing microbial populations which decayed when atrazine application stopped. Decay …

Target 5G visible light positioning signal subcarrier extraction method using particle swarm optimization algorithm
2021
International audience; With the explosive growth of demand for Internet of Things (IoT) applications and the increasing dependence of users on wireless connections, indoor location based service(LBS) under 5G-Public-Private Partnership (5G-PPP) using cases have received more attention and get rapid development. Thanks to the safty, security and customization of 5G network pointed by 5G forum white paper, indoor positioning systems using unified 5G New Radio (NR) signals have become the focus of the next generation of visible light positioning (VLP) systems. In 5G New Radio(NR) frame, totally 192 subcarriers are used to carry positioning reference signal(PRS). In order to improve the positi…
Comparaison de différents plans de sondage et construction de bandes de confiance pour l'estimation de la moyenne de données fonctionnelles : une ill…
2012
Accepté pour publication dans Survey Methodology/Techniques d'Enquêtes.; Lorsque les variables étudiées sont fonctionnelles et que les capacités de stockage sont limitées ou que les coûts de transmission sont élevés, les sondages, qui permettent de sélectionner une partie des observations de la population, sont des alternatives intéressantes aux techniques de compression du signal. Notre étude est motivée, dans ce contexte fonctionnel, par l'estimation de la courbe de charge électrique moyenne sur une période d'une semaine. Nous comparons différentes stratégies d'estimation permettant de prendre en compte une information auxiliaire telle que la consommation totale de la période précédente. …
Nuevas perspectivas en el abordaje terapéutico de la psoriasis
2014
En la actualidad las enfermedades inflamatorias crónicas de la piel, como la psoriasis, tienen un impacto significativo en cuanto a la calidad de vida de los pacientes y sus familias, además de representar una carga económica considerable. Se estima que aproximadamente el 3% de la población mundial sufre psoriasis. Esta patología presenta tres componentes característicos: un desequilibrio entre la respuesta inmune local y sus mecanismos reguladores, una respuesta inflamatoria exagerada y una renovación epidérmica incrementada. A pesar del efecto beneficioso que ha supuesto la introducción de las nuevas aunque costosas terapias biológicas en el tratamiento sistémico de la psoriasis, el metot…
