Francitan vs. Standard French Pronunciation in Southeastern France
Alain Thomas
Nov 19, 2013
This article presents the results of a survey on French pronunciation in the Nice (France) area, which attempts to determine whether southern pronunciation is being lost in that region and, if so, to what extent, on which...
Negative differential conductance materials for flexible electronics
Alain Nogaret
Dec 15, 2014
The need for electronics that is compatible with life is driving the search for electronically active materials that may be used for transferring integrated circuits onto flexible substrates. One route is to build transistors...

Inhibition Delay Increases Neural Network Capacity through Stirling Transform

Inhibitory neural networks are found to encode high volumes of information through delayed inhibition. We show that inhibition delay increases storage capacity through a Stirling transform of the minimum capacity which...

Sep 30, 2014
In this article, we present the partial results of a survey of French pronunciationin southeastern France, where the local variants are more and more threatened bystandard French (SF). In order to document this process, we have...

Stimulus-Dependent Polyrhyhms of central pattern generator hardware
Le Zhao, Alain Nogaret
Jan 01, 0001
We have built universal central pattern generator
(CPG) hardware by interconnecting Hodgkin-Huxley neurons with
reciprocally inhibitory synapses. We investigate the dynamics of
neuron oscillations as a function of...

Piezoresistance of flexible tunneling-percolation networks
We model changes in the conductivity of flexible composite films stressed by bending. By treating stress as a perturbation of the effective medium conductivity, we obtain an expression of the piezoresistance as a function of...

Negative differential resistance in graphite-silicone polymer composites
We report a robust negative differential resistance in silicone rubber filled with graphite nanoparticles. The sharp increase in resistance at high electric field is interpreted as the opening of energy gaps at the K points of...

Direct pressure sensing with carbon nanotubes grown in a micro-cavity
We report on the growth of multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) at the centre of a bow tie micro-cavity and describe the change in resistance of these CNTs under gas pressure loading (ΔR/R ≅ 16%/atm). By adapting the...

Effect of size and configuration on the magnetization of nickel dot arrays
We report experimental results on magnetic properties of our fabricated nickel nanodot arrays studied with magnetic force microscopy (MFM) and magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE). Arrays of nickel dots with different size and...

Experimental observation of multistability and dynamic attractors in silicon central pattern generators
Le Zhao, Alain Nogaret
Nov 16, 2015

We report on the multistability of chaotic networks of silicon neurons and demonstrate how spatiotemporal sequences of voltage oscillations are selected with timed current stimuli. A three neuron central pattern generator was...

Graphite-polydimethylsiloxane composite strain sensors for in-situ structural health monitoring

Here we describe the synthesis and testing of miniature sensors for structural health monitoring. The sensors were incorporated into building materials to detect strain relaxation events within the region of elastic...
