Plasma reactors can be applied to the conversion of waste, biomass and fuels to synthesis gas (mixture of hydrogen and carbon dioxide) with efficiencies as higher as 90-95% and low energy demand, depending on the design optimization. In this work, a multi-step approach was applied to the ... En savoir plus

The use of proton therapy for cancer treatment shows a growing trend, since the radiation dose delivered to the target volume is maximized and the dose to the surrounding healthy tissues is minimized. To direct the proton beam from all directions to the tumor in the patient, the last ... En savoir plus

Microwave impedance microscopy (MIM) is a novel mode of atomic force microscopy that can measure topography and local electrical impedance simultaneously and with nanometer spatial resolution [1]. This technique is typically used qualitatively, identifying defects in nanodevices or ... En savoir plus

定量分析生物颗粒形态的变化可以为疾病诊断提供依据。例如血红细胞形态的变化常常会伴随有相应的血液疾病[1]，细胞的癌变常常伴随有细胞核形态的变化[2]等等。无标记的光学显微成像技术已经可以对生物颗粒的尺度和形状进行直接测量。光声显微成像技术 (PAM) 利用生物颗粒固有的吸光本领，已经可以对单个生物颗粒（如细胞和细胞器）进行成像[3]。 最近，光声流式仪(the photoacoustic flow-cytometry)已经实现了对单个生物颗粒进行连续检测[4]。然而，为了在大量的生物颗粒中快速检测生物颗粒的形貌，最好的方法是并非对其进行直接成像，而是采用高频光声显微技术 ...

We describe the thermal modeling of a crate hosting boards with Associative Memories (AM) designed for the Fast Tracker Trigger (FTK) system of the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. FTK is a highly paralleled hardware system designed to provide global tracks reconstructed ... En savoir plus

In a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, it is necessary to excite the nuclei of a patient into coherent precession for imaging. This requires a coupling between the nuclei and a source of radio frequency (RF) power using a transmitter. To receive a meaningful signal, we also need ... En savoir plus

The main purpose of a drive unit is to transform the electrical signal at its terminals into acoustic waves via two transduction mechanisms: electro-mechanical and mechano-acoustical. In this paper only the electro-mechanical transformation is discussed in view of a future optimization ... En savoir plus

Vibration and music therapies are non-invasive treatments having effective results although their basics are still disputed. By the application of COMSOL Multiphysics® software for modeling and analysis, some of the nonlinear physical phenomena laying on these applications may be ... En savoir plus

Advances in 3D display technology relies heavily on the birefringence of light as it propagates through various optical components such as quarter-wave plates. While Jones matrix formulation is commonly employed as a convenient means to study optical systems involving such optical ... En savoir plus

所谓近场声学，是相对于远场声学而言。传统的声学理论，通常只研究远离光源或者远离物体的声场分布，一般统称为远场声学。远场声学在原理上存在着一个远场衍射极限，限制了利用远场光学原理进行显微和其它光学应用时的最小分辨尺寸和最小标记尺寸。而近场声学则研究距离光源或物体一个波长范围内的光场分布。在近场声学研究领域，远场衍射极限被打破，分辨率极限在原理上不再受到任何限制，可以无限地小，从而基于近场声学原理可以提高显微成像与其它光学应用时的光学分辨率。 声学超材料自问世之日起就受到了国内外科学家们的广泛追捧，在很多领域都可以看到其踪迹 ... En savoir plus
