Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) in the SEM: applications to microstructures in minerals and rocks and recent technological advancements
(Sociedad Española de la Mineralogía, 2008-09-16)Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is based on the principle that a beam of electrons generated in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) is the source of randomly scattered electrons in a specimen. The backscattered ... -
Electron beam therapy at extended SSD: a Monte Carlo investigation of output fom a Siemens Oncor linear accelerator
(2008)Electron-beam therapy is used to treat superficial tumors at a standard 100 cm source-to-surface distance (SSD). However, certain clinical situations require the use of an extended SSD. In the present study, Monte Carlo ... -
Electrostatically tunable axisymmetric vibrations of soft electro-active tubes
(Elsevier, 2020-05-28)Due to their unique electromechanical coupling properties, soft electro-active (SEA) resonators are actively tunable, extremely suitable, and practically important for designing the next-generation acoustic and vibration ... -
Electrothermal equivalent three-dimensional finite-element model of a single neuron
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-09-14)Objective: We propose a novel approach for modelling the interdependence of electrical and mechanical phenomena in nervous cells, by using electrothermal equivalences in finite element (FE) analysis so that existing ... -
The EMEP Intensive Measurement Period campaign, 2008-2009: characterizing carbonaceous aerosol at nine rural sites in Europe
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2019-04-03)Carbonaceous aerosol (total carbon, TCp) was source apportioned at nine European rural background sites, as part of the European Measurement and Evaluation Programme (EMEP) Intensive Measurement Periods in fall 2008 and ... -
Emergence of instability-driven domains in soft stratified materials
(Nature Research, 2022-05-02)Nature frequently employs the buckling phenomenon to facilitate the formation of complicated patterns across length-scales. Current knowledge, however, is limited to a small set of buckling-induced microstructure transformations ... -
Employee's performance and Kaizen events' success: does supervisor behaviour play a moderating role?
(Emerald, 2023-12-05)The study's goal was to identify the factors contributing to the practical completion of Kaizen events (KEs). The effect of the work-study man's characteristics, the supervisor's conduct and the autonomy of the Kaizen team ... -
EndoCOM : Conception d un banc in vitro de simulation des anévrismes de l aorte abdominale
(2009)(FR) Le traitement des anévrismes de l'aorte abdominale par voie endovasculaire est aujourd'hui prédominant à plus de 65 % mais comporte encore des risques. Le suivi postopératoire devient alors crucial. Le projet de ... -
ENDOCOM: Abdominal aortic aneurysm test bench for in vitro simulation
(IEEE, 2007)An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a dilatation of the aorta at the abdominal level, whose rupture is a life threatening complication. Recent treatment procedures of AAA consists in endovascular treatment with covered ... -

Engineering a therapeutic lectin by uncoupling mitogenicity from antiviral activity
(Elsevier, 2015-10-22)A key effector route of the Sugar Code involves lectins that exert crucial regulatory controls by targeting distinct cellular glycans. We demonstrate that a¿¿single amino-acid substitution in a banana lectin, replacing ... -
Engineering recombinant antibodies for polymer biofunctionalization
(Wiley, 2015-08-18)The attachment of recognition elements such as antibody fragments to polymeric substrates can be used to mediate cell- or protein-specific interactions. In this work, single-chain Fv (scFv) antibody fragments were isolated ... -
Enhanced photostability of a Ruthenium(II) Polypyridyl Complex under highly oxidizing aqueous conditions by its partial inclusion into a cyclodextrin
(Wiley, 2016-01-08)The complex [Ru(bpy)2L]2+, where bpy=2,2′-bipyridine, L=4-(phenylethynyl)-2,2′-bipyridine, was prepared in its racemic and resolved forms (Δ and Λ). The phenylethynyl unit on the bipyridine for the complex acts as a binding ... -
