PyridineLa pyridine ou azine, de formule brute , est un composé hétérocyclique simple et fondamental qui se rapproche de la structure du benzène où un des groupes CH est remplacé par un atome d’azote. Elle existe sous la forme d’un liquide limpide, légèrement jaunâtre ayant une odeur désagréable et pénétrante (aigre, putride et évoquant le poisson). Elle est très utilisée en chimie de coordination comme ligand et en chimie organique comme réactif et solvant. Les dérivés de la pyridine sont très nombreux dans la pharmacie et dans l’agrochimie.
Computational anatomyComputational anatomy is an interdisciplinary field of biology focused on quantitative investigation and modelling of anatomical shapes variability. It involves the development and application of mathematical, statistical and data-analytical methods for modelling and simulation of biological structures. The field is broadly defined and includes foundations in anatomy, applied mathematics and pure mathematics, machine learning, computational mechanics, computational science, biological imaging, neuroscience, physics, probability, and statistics; it also has strong connections with fluid mechanics and geometric mechanics.
Electrolytic capacitorAn electrolytic capacitor is a polarized capacitor whose anode or positive plate is made of a metal that forms an insulating oxide layer through anodization. This oxide layer acts as the dielectric of the capacitor. A solid, liquid, or gel electrolyte covers the surface of this oxide layer, serving as the cathode or negative plate of the capacitor. Because of their very thin dielectric oxide layer and enlarged anode surface, electrolytic capacitors have a much higher capacitance-voltage (CV) product per unit volume than ceramic capacitors or film capacitors, and so can have large capacitance values.
Hétérocyclevignette|150px|Carbocycle de la pyridine : chaque sommet est occupé par un atome, dont un est l'azote (N) et les cinq autres le carbone. Les hétérocycles ou composés hétérocycliques sont les composés organiques comportant un cycle constitué d'atomes d'au moins deux éléments différents. Il s'agit généralement de carbone et d'un hétéroatome tel l'oxygène, l'azote, le phosphore ou le soufre.
Aluminum electrolytic capacitorAluminum electrolytic capacitors are polarized electrolytic capacitors whose anode electrode (+) is made of a pure aluminum foil with an etched surface. The aluminum forms a very thin insulating layer of aluminum oxide by anodization that acts as the dielectric of the capacitor. A non-solid electrolyte covers the rough surface of the oxide layer, serving in principle as the second electrode (cathode) (-) of the capacitor. A second aluminum foil called “cathode foil” contacts the electrolyte and serves as the electrical connection to the negative terminal of the capacitor.
