[1] In this paper, we analyze water ice occurrences at the surface of Mars using near‐ infrared observations, and we study their distribution with a climate model. Latitudes between 45°S and 50°N are considered. Data from the Observatoire pour la Minéralogie, l’Eau, les Glaces et l’Actitité and the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars are used to assess the presence of surface w...

Chloride in sweat is an important diagnostic marker for cystic fibrosis (CF), but the implementation of point-of-care systems for diagnosis is hindered by the prohibitive costs of existing chloride sensors. To enable low cost diagnostic solutions, we recently established a citrate-derived synthesis platform for the development of new fluorescence sensors with high selectivity for chloride. As a...

Cet article présente le projet “Orthoglide” de l’IRCCyN. Ce projet a pour but la réalisation d’un prototype de machine-outil rapide à trois degrés de translation. La particularité de cette machine est une architecture cinématique parallèle optimisée pour obtenir une volume de travail compact et où les performances sont homogènes. Pour cela, le critère principal de conception qui a été utilisé e...

Inflatable space structures need to maintain in a desired shape in space in order to achieve satisfactory performance. The active shape control technique has shown its advantages in solving this problem. Due to strong non-linear properties of the inflatable structures, it is a challenging task to model the inflatable structure properties and to find optimal control output. In this paper, a sche...

Aim: The primary aim of the present study was to screen salt tolerant calli and optimization in-vitro regeneration protocol from selected calli.
 Methodology: cotyledonary leaf explants sterilized by using 1% Bavistin, 0.1% Mercuric chloride 70% ethanol followed washing with distilled water. Sterilized were cultured on Murashige Skoog (MS) medium supplemented different concentration NaCl (...

To meet competitive market for the electronics consumer products, the integrated circuit is process at the semiconductor fabrication factory which is the most complex and challenging areas in manufacturing. This is due to semiconductor manufacturers will require to process 300 to 1000 steps depends on products, 60,000 WIP and 400 pieces equipment for typical 200mm wafer size technology. Due to ...

We investigated the effect of height of a robot on comfortableness of verbal interaction with the robot. We created a robot whose height could be changed continuously, and carried out dialog experiments with humans at varying robot heights. We employed 19 participants to evaluate “comfortableness of dialog”, and investigated the height at which the participants felt the dialog was most comforta...

Using a combination of small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) measurements we have determined the role of the H3 and H4 histone tails, independently, in stabilizing the nucleosome DNA terminal ends from unwrapping from the nucleosome core. We have performed solution scattering experiments on recombinant wild-type, H3 and H4 tail-removed mutants and...

The authors of this experimental research work have made an attempt to experimentally investigate the ultimate flexural load of ferrocement slabs of size 700mm. X 200mm. X 15mm. (thickness) reinforced with PVC coated steel weld mesh, and compare the results with slabs using GI-coated steel weld mesh, by varying the number of layers from 1-3. Ordinary Portland Cement, locally available river san...
