How to improve the efficiency of a traditional dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (dDNP) apparatus: Design and performance of a fluid path compatible dDNP/LOD-ESR probe

Andrea Capozzi, Jean-Noël Hyacinthe, Thanh Phong Kevin Lê

Dissolution Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (dDNP) was invented almost twenty years ago. Ever since, hardware advancement has observed 2 trends: the quest for DNP at higher field and, more recently, the development of cryogen free polarizers. Despite the DNP ...

Robust and sustainable cultivation of microalgae: recycling of nitrogen from liquid digestate and control of biological contamination

Adrian Pulgarin

The present doctoral thesis aimed to achieve a robust cultivation of microalgae by recycling nitrogen from a liquid digestate. However, the use of non-sterile nutrient source increases the risks of contamination of undesired organisms such as bacteria, vir ...

Online Robust Regression via SGD on the l1 loss

Nicolas Henri Bernard Flammarion, Scott William Pesme

We consider the robust linear regression problem in the online setting where we have access to the data in a streaming manner, one data point after the other. More specifically, for a true parameter , we consider the corrupted Gaussian linear model $ y=\la ...

Polybenzimidazole copolymer derived lacey carbon film for graphene transfer and contamination removal strategies for imaging graphene nanopores

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Luis Francisco Villalobos Vazquez de la Parra, Mostapha Dakhchoune, Shiqi Huang, Guangwei He, Wan-Chi Lee

The study of the nanometer-scale vacancy defects (nanopores) in graphene by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is severely hindered by the presence of polymeric residues originating from the graphene-transfer-step to the TEM grid. The state-of-the-art ...

Assessment of human exposure to pesticides by hair analysis: The case of vegetable-producing areas in Burkina Faso

Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Edouard René Gilbert Lehmann, Christelle Oltramare, Jean-Jacques Stéphane Nfon Dibie

The present work assesses human exposure to pesticides in vegetable-producing areas in Burkina Faso, using hair as an indicator. The study design includes a comparison between operators who are occupationally exposed while working in the fields and a refer ...

Note: Small anaerobic chamber for optical spectroscopy

Majed Chergui, Adrien Alexis Paul Chauvet, Rachna Agarwal

The study of oxygen-sensitive biological samples requires an effective control of the atmosphere in which they are housed. In this aim however, no commercial anaerobic chamber is adequate to solely enclose the sample and small enough to fit in a compact sp ...

Compressed Sensing with Probabilistic Measurements: A Group Testing Solution

Martin Vetterli, Amin Karbasi, Ali Hormati, Mahdi Cheraghchi Bashi Astaneh

Detection of defective members of large populations has been widely studied in the statistics community under the name ``group testing'', a problem which dates back to World War~II when it was suggested for syphilis screening. There the main interest is to ...

Nanostencil-based lithography for silicon nanowires fabrication

Jürgen Brugger, Christian Santschi

We propose a novel lithography method based on local deposition through miniature shadow-masks (nanostencils) for the fabrication of silicon based nanoelectronics devices. The method allows patterning of sub 100nm scale metal structures in a reproducible w ...

Conditionally least-informative distributions: The case of the location parameter

Stephan Morgenthaler

We extend a basic result of Huber's on least favorable distributions to the setting of conditional inference, using an approach based on the notion of log-Gâteaux differentiation and perturbed models. Whereas Huber considered intervals of fixed width for l ...
