The ear doesn’t solely listen but it also speaks. Sounds formed in the inner ear which are measurable in the outer ear are called Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs). Some claim these are produced by the outer hair cells (OHCs), the amplifiers in the inner ear. Our hypothesis is that the OHCs ... Read More

Sensor integration in a workpiece can be used to characterize manufacturing processes but due to integration, a foreign element is added to the material which can alter its material properties [1]. This can lead to a high order of measurement uncertainty. Additionally, the extent of ... Read More

The integration of high level of stress in field effect transistors is performed through incorporation of intrinsically strained SiGe layers. With the help of COMSOL simulations, we performed two studies addressing the level of stress in the area of interest. In the first case, we ... Read More

We designed AlGaAs all-dielectric nanoantennas with magnetic dipole resonance at near-infrared wavelengths. These devices are shaped as cylinders of 400nm height and radii varying from 175 nm up to 230 nm. We analyzed volume χ(2) nonlinear effects associated to a magnetic dipole ... Read More

This paper study the mechanical response of a granular solid subject to an impulse force. The proposed model simulate the behavior of an airport pavement structure. The analysis is performed on a representative volume element (RVE) under thermo-mechanical actions, as those produced by ... Read More

Parallelization of microfluidic droplet generators is one of the major challenges that droplet microfluidics has to overcome to contribute significantly towards the sustainable manufacturing of advanced materials such as nanoparticles, quantum dots, active pharmaceuticals, etc. A ... Read More

It is well-known that metal nanoparticles (NPs) excited at the plasmon frequency not only exhibit peculiar optical properties (e.g., a peak in the extinction spectrum, an enhanced electromagnetic near-filed) but also heat up [1]. This phenomenon is highly investigated for medical ... Read More

Energy efficiency and harvest, speed and performance, flexibility and portability are key elements for innovation in the current consumer electronics markets. Thermoelectric Generators can convert energy from heat gradients into electricity. Every source of heat from an electronics ... Read More

The subject of the study is a bespoke rainscreen system designed for the Grand Theatre of Rabat, Morocco (Figure 1). The project presents a complex façade geometry and consists of a 1800-seat theater, an open-air amphitheater with a capacity of 7000 people, a rehearsal space and a ... Read More

Over the last years, the concrete technology has progressed in order to improve the quality of its use and mechanical performances. Despite the technical development known in the context of concrete, the esthetic aspect remains weakly treated. Among the esthetic problems, there is the ... Read More
