Influence of size and charge of carbon quantum dots on corneal penetration

Ines de Hoon, Alexandre Barras, Mike Wels, Bernd Vanmeerhaege, Stefaan de Smedt, Felix Sauvage, Sabine Szunerits

Purpose : Corneal blindness is the fourth leading cause of blindness. Currently, corneal transplantation is the only remaining therapeutic option as pharmacotherapy remains limited. As the cornea has several physiological and anatomical barriers, direct delivery of therapeutics into the eye remains…

Adsorption-reduction of Cr(VI) onto unmodified and phytic acid-modified carob waste: Kinetic and isotherm modeling

Kenza Bouaouina, Alexandre Barras, Nacer Bezzi, Mohammed Amin, Sabine Szunerits, Rabah Boukherroub

Carob waste (CW) is an agro-biomass material abundant in nature with potential use for eco-friendly remediation. However, like many biomass-based adsorbents, it suffers from its low adsorption capacity for organic/inorganic pollutants. Therefore, modification using physical and/or chemical means is…

[Review] Lessons from neonatal β-cell epigenomic for diabetes prevention and treatment

Amar Abderrahmani, Cécile Jacovetti, Romano Regazzi

Pancreatic β-cell expansion and functional maturation during the birth-to-weaning period plays an essential role in the adaptation of plasma insulin levels to metabolic needs. These events are driven by epigenetic programs triggered by growth factors, hormones, and nutrients. These mechanisms…

Fullerene‐<span style="font-variant:small-caps;">C₆₀</span>/<span style="font-variant:small-caps;">NH₂</span>: A recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for the green synthesis of chromene and pyrimidine derivatives and antibacterial evaluation

Maryam M. Mirza‐Aghayan, Marzieh Mohammadi, Rabah Boukherroub

An effective procedure for the synthesis of amino-functionalized fullerene with diethylenetriamine (C60-NH2) is described. The obtained material was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray…

SIT: Stochastic Input Transformation to Defend Against Adversarial Attacks on Deep Neural Networks

Amira Guesmi, Ihsen Alouani, Mouna Baklouti, Tarek Frikha, Mohamed Abid

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have been deployed in a wide range of applications, including safety-critical domains, owing to their proven efficiency in solving complex problems. However, these systems have been shown vulnerable to adversarial attacks: carefully crafted perturbations that threaten…

Innovative millimetre‐wave resonators based on slow‐wave coplanar stripline components

Abdelhalim Saadi, Marc Margalef‐rovira, Youcef Amara, Loïc Vincent, Sylvie Lepilliet, Christophe Gaquière, Philippe Ferrari

In this paper, the slow-wave coplanar stripline (S-CPS) technology is utilised to design high performance and small footprint resonators operating within the millimetre-wave band from 50 to 80 GHz. The proposed resonators are designed based on high quality factor quasi-lumped capacitances and…

P-CRITICAL: a reservoir autoregulation plasticity rule for neuromorphic hardware

Ismael Balafrej, Fabien Alibart, Jean Rouat

Backpropagation algorithms on recurrent artificial neural networks require an unfolding of accumulated states over time. These states must be kept in memory for an undefined period of time which is task-dependent and costly for edge devices. This paper uses the reservoir computing paradigm where an…

A CNN-Based Methodology for Cow Heat Analysis from Endoscopic Images

Ruiwen He, Halim Benhabiles, Feryal Windal, Gaël Even, Christophe Audebert, Agathe Decherf, Dominique Collard, Abdelmalik Taleb-Ahmed

In cattle farming, the artificial insemination technique is a biotechnology that brings to farmers a wide range of benefits namely health security, genetic gain and economic costs. The main condition for the success of artificial insemination within cattle is the heat (or estrus) detection. In this…
