Photon Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Reflection Scanning Microscopy
1991
The Photon Scanning Tunneling Microscope (PSTM) is the photon analogue to the Electron Scanning Tunneling Microscope (ESTM). It uses the evanescent field due to the total internal reflection (TIR) of a light beam in a prism modulated by a sample attached to the prism. The exponential decay of the evanescent field is characterized by the penetration depth dp and depends on the angle of incidence θ, the wavelength and polarization of the incident beam. Changes in intensity are monitored by a probe tip scanned over the surface, and the data are processed to generate an image of the sample. Images produced by a prototype instrument are shown to have a vertical resolution of about 3 A and a late…
TGFβ-induced EMT requires focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling
2007
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a crucial process, occurring both during development and tumor progression, by which an epithelial cell undergoes a conversion to a mesenchymal phenotype, dissociates from initial contacts and migrates to secondary sites. We recently reported that in hepatocytes the multifunctional cytokine TGFβ induces a full EMT characterized by (i) Snail induction, (ii) E-cadherin delocalization and down-regulation, (iii) down-regulation of the hepatocyte transcriptional factor HNF4α and (iv) up-regulation of mesenchymal and invasiveness markers. In particular, we showed that Snail directly causes the transcriptional down-regulation of E-cadherin and HN…

Les construccions encapsuladores en anglès i la doble funció en l'emmagatzematge de la informació
 Aquest treball se centra en les propietats funcionals i estructurals d’un tipus de fórmules focals en anglès: les construccions del tipus N-be-that (Schmid 2001), com en The problem is that he is jealous, a les quals denominem fórmules amb encapsuladors (FFSNs, segons la denominació en anglès). La funció dels noms en aquest patró consisteix a crear closques conceptuals (Schmid 1997) dins de les quals s’encapsula el contingut proposicional, una operació afavorida pel vincle coreferencial que hi ha entre les dues parts del patró. Les dades proporcionades pel BNC mostren dues manifestacions …

Effect of three different irrigation solutions applied by passive ultrasonic irrigation
2015
Objectives This study evaluated the maximum depth and percentage of irrigant penetration into dentinal tubules by passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI). Materials and Methods Thirty extracted human teeth were instrumented and divided into three groups. According to final irrigation regimen, 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (Group A, NaOCl), 2% chlorhexidine (Group B, CHX) and saline solution (Group C, control group) were applied with Irrisafe 20 tips (Acteon) and PUI. Irrigant was mixed with 0.1% rhodamine B. Sections at 2 mm, 5 mm, and 8 mm from the apex were examined with confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The percentage and maximum depth of irrigant penetration were measured. Kruskal-Wall…
Aportación de nuevas metodologías multitécnica en el estudio y conservación de patrimonio numismático de procedencia subacuática
2019
Este trabajo presenta un estudio del estado de conservación de monedas con base de cobre procedente del Museo Nacional de Arqueología Subacuática. La metodología multitécnica incluye instrumentación convencional como microscopía óptica, espectroscopia FTIR y técnicas avanzadas nanoinvasivas como voltamperometría de micropartículas y haz de iones focalizados-FESEM-EDX. Así se ha podido identificar el tipo de aleación, productos de corrosión, depósitos superficiales y antiguas intervenciones. Cabe señalar la identificación de mecanismos de alteración atípicos como la formación de complejos carboxilados de iones metálicos generados en los procesos electroquímicos de corrosión del metal o aleac…
Classification par méthodes d’apprentissage supervisé et faiblement superviséd’images multimodales pour l’aide au diagnostic du lentigo malin en derm…
2021
Carried out in collaboration with the Saint-Étienne University Hospital, this work provides additional information to help the skin diagnosis by providing new decision methods on Lentigo Maligna and Lentigo Maligna Melanoma pathologies. To this end, the modalities regularly used in clinical conditions are made available to this work and are orchestrated within a multimodal process. Among image modalities, may be mentioned the clinical photography, the dermatoscopy, and the confocal reflectance microscopy. Initially, the first steps of this manuscript focus on reflectance confocal microscopy as the work in computer diagnostic assistance is relatively underdeveloped, in particular on the dete…
