Parity in bacterial communities and resistomes: Microplastic and natural organic particles in the Tyrrhenian Sea

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Sylvain Coudret

Petroleum-based microplastic particles (MPs) are carriers of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in aquatic environments, influencing the selection and spread of antimicrobial resistance. This research characterized MP and natural organic particle (NOP) ...

Autonomous oil flow generated by self-oscillating polymer gels

Vito Cacucciolo

The previously reported gel and polymer actuators require external inputs, such as batteries, circuits, electronic circuits, etc., compared with autonomous motions produced by the living organisms. To realize the spontaneous motions, here, we propose to in ...

Printing on liquid elastomers

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Pierre-Thomas Paul Brun

In recent years the research community has paid significant attention to geometrically engineered materials. These materials derive their unique properties from their structure rather than their chemistry alone. Despite their success in the laboratory, the ...

Transpiration on the rebound in lowland Sumatra

Mitsunori Nomura, Thomas Guillaume

Following large-scale conversion of rainforest, rubber and oil palm plantations dominate lowland Sumatra (Indonesia) and other parts of South East Asia today, with potentially far-reaching ecohydrological consequences. We assessed how such land-use change ...

"Divergent Total Synthesis of (-)-Rhazinilam, (-)-Leucomidine B and (+)-Leuconodine F" and "Synthetic Studies Towards Sarpagine-Related Indoles"

Dylan Jean Robert Dagoneau

The work presented in this thesis focuses on the synthesis of monoterpene indole alkaloids. The first part describes the divergent total synthesis of (-)-rhazinilam, (-)-leucomidine B and (+)-leuconodine F, three structurally distinct natural products of t ...

Healing of a glass fibre reinforced composite with a disulphide containing organic-inorganic epoxy matrix

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades, Wouter Post

We report the development of an intrinsic healing glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite based on a disulphide-containing organic-inorganic thermoset matrix. Thermomechanical experiments showed that the newly developed matrix has a combination of ...

Economical Analysis of a Pressurized Fluid-Based Process Applied for Phytochemicals Recovery in a Sustainable Biorefinery Concept for Brazilian Ginseng Roots

François Maréchal

A growing number of technologies are being developed in order to produce different high added value products, such as phytochemicals, ethanol and other chemicals from biomass, representing an important trend that needs to be evaluated. The use of pressuriz ...

Sensitivity and resistance of soil fertility indicators to land-use changes: New concept and examples from conversion of Indonesian rainforest to plantations

Thomas Guillaume

Tropical forest conversion to agricultural land leads to a strong decrease of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. While the decrease of the soil C sequestration function is easy to measure, the impacts of SOC losses on soil fertility remain unclear. Especial ...

Advanced Materials Enabling High-Volume Road Transport Applications of Lightweight Structural Composite Parts

Véronique Michaud, Ignaas Herman Johannes Verpoest

Current applications of carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) can be found mostly in sectors where their use is not principally cost-driven and which have limited production volumes, such as aerospace and sports cars. In order to achieve a step-change in ...

Integrated active tracking detector for MRI-guided interventions

Giovanni Boero, Jens Anders, Paul Sangiorgio

We present a fully integrated detector suitable for active tracking of interventional devices in MR-guided interventions. The single-chip microsystem consists of a detection coil, a tuning capacitor, an intermediate frequency downconversion receiver, and a ...
