Short-term reliability of high performance Q-band AlN/GaN HEMTs

R. Kabouche, K. Harrouche, Etienne Okada, F Medjdoub

We report on an on-wafer short-term 40 GHz RF reliability stress test comparison between a 3 nm versus 4 nm barrier thickness AlN/GaN HEMT technology showing state-ofthe-art power performances in the millimeter wave range. It is found that the barrier thickness in this highly strain heterostructure…

New Bacteriocins from Lacticaseibacillus paracasei CNCM I-5369 Adsorbed on Alginate Nanoparticles Are Very Active against Escherichia coli

Yanath Belguesmia, Noura Hazime, Isabelle Kempf, Rabah Boukherroub, Djamel Drider

Lacticaseibacillus paracasei CNCM I-5369, formerly Lactobacillus paracasei CNCM I-5369, produces bacteriocins that are remarkably active against Gram-negative bacteria, among which is the Escherichia coli-carrying mcr-1 gene that is involved in resistance to colistin. These bacteriocins present in…

Subcellular imaging during single cell mechanical characterization

Deniz Pekin, Gregoire Perret, Quentin Rezard, Jean Claude Gerbedoen, Samuel Meignan, Dominique Collard, Chann Lagadec, Mehmet Tarhan

We report a method for combining confocal microscopy with single-cell mechanical characterization. This method allows investigating the effect of subcellular deformation (e.g. membranes, cytoplasm, cytoskeleton and organelles as endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and nucleus) on cell mechanical…

Physicochemical characterizati on of the fuel by the ultrasound method

Said Soudani, Mohammed Mekkaoui, Georges Nassar, Ziane Derouiche

A physical medium, whatever its nature ,solid, liquid or gaseous is characterized by physicochemical parameter which are unique to it and which differentiate it from any other medium. But it can also be characterized and differentiated by its acoustic parameters: it’s like two sides of the same…

Hierarchical large-scale elastic metamaterials as an innovative passive isolation strategy for seismic wave mitigation

N. Kherraz, M. Miniaci, F. Bosia, A.S. S Gliozzi, M. Onorato, N.M. M Pugno

Large scale elastic metamaterials as an innovative passive isolation strategy for seismic waves has recently attracted increasing interest in the scientific community. In this work, we investigate the feasibility of an innovative design based on hierarchical organization of the unit cell, i.e. a…

Inducing dispersion curves with negative group velocity in inertially amplified phononic crystals through the application of an external state of prestress

M. Miniaci, M. Mazzotti, A. Amendola, F. Fraternali

In this paper, we report about the effect of the application of a state of prestress on the band structure of a periodic phononic crystal characterized by an inertial amplification mechanism. Through a numerical example, we show the possibility of inducing negative group velocity in an isolated…
