Generalized bloch equations for optical interactions in confined geometries

By combining the field-susceptibility technique with the optical Bloch equations, a general formalism is developed for the investigation of molecular photophysical phenomena triggered by nanometer scale optical fields in the presence of complex environment ...

Liquid-core capsules as a tool in biotransformations

The aim of this thesis was to develop a new type of liquid-core capsules obtained by co-extrusion using the laminar jet break-up technique. These capsules, composed of an organic phase as the core and a hydrogel membrane, were meant to be applied as an in- ...

Band structure and quantum conductance of nanostructures from maximally localized wannier functions: The case of functionalized carbon nanotubes

Nicola Marzari

We have combined large-scale, Gamma-point electronic-structure calculations with the maximally localized Wannier functions approach to calculate efficiently the band structure and the quantum conductance of complex systems containing thousands of atoms whi ...

Immobilized bacterial spores for use as bioindicators in the validation of thermal sterilization processes

Urs von Stockar, Ian William Marison, David Serp

Spores of Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6051 and Bacillus stearothermophilus NCTC 10003 were immobilized in monodisperse alginate beads (diameter, 550 microm +/- 5%), and the capacity of the immobilized bioindicators to provide accurate and reliable F-values for ...

The role of radial electric fields in linear and nonlinear gyrokinetic full radius simulations

Olivier Sauter, Laurent Villard, Alberto Bottino

The pivotal role played by radial electric fields in the development of turbulence associated with anomalous transport is examined by means of global gyrokinetic simulations. It is shown that the stabilizing effect of E x B flows on ion temperature gradien ...

Comparison of radiative properties of InAs quantum dots and GaInNAs quantum wells emitting around 1.3 mu m

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Marc Ilegems, Ursula Oesterle, Jean-Daniel Ganière

The emission properties of self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) and lattice-matched GaInNAs quantum wells (QWs) emitting around 1.3 mum were investigated by temperature-dependent and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL). The QDs have much higher PL effic ...

Cross-talk between fatty acid and cholesterol metabolism mediated by liver X receptor-alpha

Johan Auwerx, Stefano Alberti

LXR alpha (liver X receptor, also called RLD-1) is a nuclear receptor, highly expressed in tissues that play a role in lipid homeostasis. In this report we show that fatty acids are positive regulators of LXR alpha gene expression and we investigate the mo ...

Inflammatory alterations in mesenteric adipose tissue in Crohn's disease

Johan Auwerx

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Abnormalities of fat in the mesentery including adipose tissue hypertrophy and fat wrapping have been long recognized on surgical specimens as characteristic features of Crohn's disease. However, the importance, origin, and significance ...

Prevention or treatment of type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease with ppar modulators

Johan Auwerx

This invention relates to methods and compositions for the prevention and treatment of Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease with diabetic or pre-diabetic conditions or symptoms associated therewith using both a PPAR gamma agonist and a PPAR alpha ago ...

Disturbed state concept for partially saturated soils.

Lyesse Laloui, Laurent Vulliet

A general elasto-plastic model for partially saturated soils is proposed, based on the disturbed state concept (DSC). This model is unified and simplified, includes both saturated and unsaturated states and is able to capture some typical features of parti ...
