Repetitive regime of highly focused liquid microjets for needle-free injection

Christophe Moser, Paul Delrot, Jan Krizek

Fast liquid jets are investigated for use as a needle-free drug delivery system into an elastic tissue such as skin. Using smaller jet diameters in a repetitive regime can mitigate bruising and pain associated with current injectors. In this study, we aim ...

A Simple Theoretical Model of Importance for Summarization

Maxime Jean Julien Peyrard

Research on summarization has mainly been driven by empirical approaches, crafting systems to perform well on standard datasets with the notion of information Importance remaining latent. We argue that establishing theoretical models of Importance will adv ...

A field-based modelling framework of the ecohydrology of schistosomiasis

Francisco Javier Perez Saez

Successful control of schistosomiasis, a water-borne parasitic disease, is challenged by the intricacy of the wormâ s lifecycle, which depends on aquatic snail intermediate hosts, and involves environmental, ecologic, and socio-economic factors. Current s ...

Scaling as a key conceptual tool for the interpretation of empirical and experimental patterns in ecology and biology

Silvia Zaoli

This thesis is concerned with regular patterns found in ecology and biology, their linkages and the statistical description of their fluctuations around average trends. Among such patterns, often conforming to power laws, well-known examples include the Sp ...

Needle for invasive medical use and needle assembly

Simon Nessim Henein, Charles Baur

A needle for invasive medical use includes a long extended cylindrical needle shaft having an axis and an outer surface area, with a short shaft end at a first end of the shaft with a beveled tip with a pointed end, and a needle hub attached to a second en ...

Experimental realization and characterization of unstretched planar one-dimensional diffusion flames

Peter Monkewitz, Etienne Robert

A burner configuration that allows the creation of nearly unstretched one-dimensional diffusion flames has recently been introduced. This paper presents the first detailed characterization of flames produced in such a burner to assess how well they approac ...

A microchip emitter for solid phase extraction – gradient elution – mass spectrometry

Hubert Girault, Mohammad Reza Pourhaghighi, Liang Qiao, Dmitry Momotenko, Natalia Gasilova

A microchip electrospray emitter with a magnetic bead trap has been designed for solid phase extraction-gradient elution-mass spectrometry (SPE-GEMS). The goal of this method is the detection of analytes at low concentrations and it is here demonstrated us ...

Simplified models for LHC new physics searches

Roberto Franceschini, Yang Bai, Jing Shu, Tao Han, Yue Zhao, Tao Liu

This document proposes a collection of simplified models relevant to the design of new-physics searches at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the characterization of their results. Both ATLAS and CMS have already presented some results in terms of simplif ...
