Stochastic phase oscillator models for circadian clocks

Periodic environments like we experience on the surface of planet earth lead living organisms to evolve molecular anticipation devices known a circadian clocks. The word circadian refers to the period of these oscillations which last about (circa) one day ...

Adipose-specific knockout of raptor results in lean mice with enhanced mitochondrial respiration

Johan Auwerx

raptor is a specific and essential component of mammalian TOR complex 1 (mTORC1), a key regulator of cell growth and metabolism. To investigate a role of adipose mTORC1 in regulation of adipose and whole-body metabolism, we generated mice with an adipose-s ...

Laboratory and ALT-Evaluation of high stiffness underlayers with high percentage of re-use as developed in the NR2C- project

André-Gilles Dumont, Nicolas Bueche

New Road Construction Concepts (NR2C) is a project of FEHRL supported by the European Commission under the Sixth Framework Programme. This project aims at developing perspectives and specific innovations in different transport areas. One of the ideas conce ...

A telemetric pressure sensor system for biomedical applications

Philippe Renaud

A new implantable pressure sensor for long-term monitoring of intracranial pressure is presented. The sensor is powered by telemetry and can be interrogated wirelessly. A capacitive pressure transducer, whose capacitance is converted to a frequency-encoded ...

High efficiency NbN nanowire superconducting single photon detectors fabricated on MgO substrates from a low temperature process

Francesco Marsili, Alessandro Gaggero

We demonstrate high-performance nanowire superconducting single photon detectors (SSPDs) on bN thin films grown at a temperature compatible with monolithic integration. NbN films ranging from 150nm to 3nm in thickness were deposited by dc magnetron sputter ...

Skin epidermis lacking the c-myc gene is resistant to Ras-driven tumorigenesis but can reacquire sensitivity upon additional loss of the p21Cip1 gene

Peter Martin Beard, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Christelle Dubey

The target gene(s) required for Myc-mediated tumorigenesis are still elusive. Here we show that while endogenous c-Myc is surprisingly dispensable for skin homeostasis and TPA-induced hyperplasia, c-Myc-deficient epidermis is resistant to Ras-mediated DMBA ...

Lipid and bile acid analysis

Johan Auwerx

Lipids are important body constituents that are vital for cellular, tissue, and whole-body homeostasis. Lipids serve as crucial membrane components, constitute the body's main energy reservoir, and are important signaling molecules. As a consequence of the ...

Microclimatic factors influencing refugium suitability for Rhodnius prolixus

Thierry Jean Heger

Rehydration in the triatomine bug Rhodnius prolixus (Stal) is dependent on the blood meal, and water balance regulation is crucial for survival of starving bugs. In an experimental arena with zones at different climatic conditions, starved R. prolixus nymp ...

Na2V3O7: An unusual low-dimensional quantum magnet

Frédéric Mila

Results of present and previous measurements of the23Na NMR response, dc- and ac-magnetic susceptibilities and the specific heat ofNa2V3O7at low temperatures suggest that this material is close to a quantum critical point (QCP) atm0H¼0 T. The experimental ...

Analysis and interpretation of Tcs tests of the ITER Toroidal Field Conductor Insert

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Boris Stepanov, Rainer Wesche, Luca Bottura

The toroidal Field Conductor Insert (TFCI) coil was tested at 46 kA in the 13 T background magnetic field generated by the Central Solenoid Model Coil. The single layer TFCI coil uses a Nb3Sn cable-in-conduit conductor in a Titanium jacket. The object of t ...
