Liquid Polymorphism and Density Anomaly in a Lattice Gas Model

open access: yes, 2004
We present a simple model for an associating liquid in which polymorphism and density anomaly are connected. Our model combines a two dimensional lattice gas with particles interacting through a soft core potential and orientational degrees of freedom ...

Tailoring the Properties of Functional Materials With N‐Oxides

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The properties of materials bearing N‐oxide groups are often dominated by the polar N+─O− bond. It provides hydrophilicity, selective ion‐binding, electric conductivity, or antifouling properties. Many of the underlying mechanisms have only recently been discovered, and the interest in N‐oxide materials is rapidly growing.

Biochar versus hydrochar as growth media constituents for ornamental plant cultivation

open access: yesScientia Agricola
Biochar and hydrochar have been proposed as novel materials for providing soilless growth media. However, much more knowledge is required before reliable advice can be given on the use of these materials for this purpose.

Two-stage gasification: fine characterisation of wood chips pyrolysis step in a continuous fixed bed reactor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Two-stage gasification is a proven technology for combined heat and power generation, particularly as it enables the production of a high quality, virtually tar-free gas.

Effect of Microwave and Thermal Co-pyrolysis of Low-Rank Coal and Pine Wood on Product Distributions and Char Structure

open access: yesEnergy & Fuels, 2019
Direct conversion of a low-rank coal into valuable chemicals or improving its char’s coking value became very demanding goals in coal utilization strategies.

Designing Thermally Compatible Template‐Coating Pairs Toward Dimensionally Stable 3D Porous Carbons with Tunable Density

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
3D porous carbons with tunable density are crucial for energy storage, separations, and load‐bearing applications; however, their fabrication is often constrained by shrinkage during pyrolysis. This study optimizes and demonstrates the versatility of a template–coating pair strategy, producing materials that largely retain their shape and hierarchical ...

Folie et société(s) au tournant du Moyen Âge et de la Renaissance

open access: yesBabel: Littératures Plurielles, 2012
Dans le chapitre d’ouverture de son Histoire de la folie, Foucault convoque pêle-mêle différents objets pour faire naître deux idées fortes : l’emblème que constitue la Nef des fous d’une part, et d’autre part le grand partage entre expériences cosmique ...

New Techniques for Context Modeling

open access: yes, 1995
We introduce three new techniques for statistical language models: extension modeling, nonmonotonic contexts, and the divergence heuristic. Together these techniques result in language models that have few states, even fewer parameters, and low message ...

A Scalable, Durable, Fire‐Safe All‐Day Passive Radiative Cooling Coating for Sustainable Buildings

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports a scalable, durable coating that combines a fire‑retardant copolymer adhesive, hollow glass microspheres, and boron oxide to achieve passive radiative cooling with over 94% solar reflectance and >95% mid‑infrared emissivity. The coating maintains performance after UV and rain exposure and exhibits UL‑94 V‑0 fire resistance, enabling ...
