Simulation and Performance Study of Silicon Nanowire (Si-NW) Field-Effect Transistor (FET) pH Microsensor
In modern industry which is characterized by very small scales and sizes, the Silicon nanowire Ion-Sensitive Field-Effect Transistors Sensors (Si-nw-ISFET) are considered as a pioneer in this field. These sens...

An empirical model for predicting the color variation of biologic molecules as a function of irradiation dose
The effect of 60Co source γ-radiation on β-carotene and chlorophyll-b solutions and on methyl blue dye fixed on cotton fabric has been investigated by colorimetric measurements. For the three reactive pigments, t...

Decay resistance against Coriolus versicolor in Sessile oak ( Quercus petraea Liebl.): analysis of the between-tree variability and correlations with extractives, tree growth and other basic wood properties
Weight loss due to fungus Coriolus versicolor has been measured on 614 samples according to the NF EN 113 norm. Up to eight samples were cut at breast height (two opposite radii×four radial positions in heartwood...

Durability of European oak (Quercus petraea and Quercus robur) against white rot fungi (Coriolus versicolor): relations with phenol extractives
Knowledge on wood natural durability is required in order to be able to decide if we can use a certain type of wood outdoors. For instance, when used outside, oak wood is subjected to the leaching of its water...

Color stability of heat-treated wood during artificial weathering
The color change of wood after exposure to UV light may produce aesthetical damages. The stability of the color to light exposure is an important issue. This study describes experiments of testing the color st...
