Optofluidic sensor system with Ge PIN photodetector for CMOS-compatible sensing
No full textVertical optofluidic biosensors based on refractive index sensing promise highest sensitivities at smallest area footprint. Nevertheless, when it comes to large-scale fabrication and application of such sensors, cheap and robust platforms for sample preparation and supply are needed—not to mention the expected ease of use in application. We present an optofluidic sensor system using a cyclic olefin copolymer microfluidic chip as carrier and feeding supply for a complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor compatibly fabricated Ge PIN photodetector. Whereas typically only passive components of a sensor are located within the microfluidic channel, here the active device is directly exposed to the fluid, enabling top-illumination. The capability for detecting different refractive indices was verified by different fluids with subsequent recording of the optical responsivity. All components excel in their capability to be transferred to large-scale fabrication and further integration of microfluidic and sensing systems. The photodetector itself is intended to serve as a platform for further sophisticated collinear sensing approaches
Lebesgue constant for the Strömberg wavelet
No full textAbstractLet S denote the Strömberg wavelet in L2(R) and Ps,n(s∈Z,n∈Z∪{∞}), the orthogonal projection onto the space spanned by the functions 2r/2S(2rt−m), where r⩽s, m<n+1 (i.e. Ps,n are partial sums for the orthonormal wavelet basis generated by S). We show that the maximum of the norms of the extensions of the operators Ps,n onto L∞(R) is equal to 2+(2−3)2

The essays and novels of Oe Kenzaburo : an economy of violence
No full textCette thèse a pour objet l’analyse du discours développé dans ses essais par le romancier japonais Ôé Kenzaburô, Prix Nobel de Littérature 1994, et de la correspondance entre le thème central de la violence tel qu’il apparaît dans ces derniers et ses manifestations dans l’œuvre romanesque de l’auteur, à la lumière du contexte historique et politique dans lequel ce discours s’inscrit. La thèse propose, à partir des essais de l’auteur, de retracer son parcours personnel et son cheminement intellectuel, marqué par l’ambivalence entre une aspiration démocratique forgée par le nouveau système éducatif d’après-guerre et un désir d’auto-affirmation dans la violence et la mort hérité de celui d’avant-guerre. Elle s’attache ensuite à l’étude thématique de l’œuvre romanesque de l’auteur en s’intéressant principalement à la mise en scène à travers ses personnages des obsessions personnelles de l’auteur mises au jour à travers l’étude de ses essais : fascination pour la violence, désir de sacrifice, nostalgie de la guerre, sentiment apocalyptique. A travers une analyse suivie de ces thèmes et de leur évolution tout au long de l’œuvre romanesque de l’auteur, la thèse montre la prégnance du désir de sacrifice ainsi que d’une pensée fondée sur un rapport de force binaire, impliquant la violence infligée ou subie comme moyen privilégié d’autoréalisation de soi. En confrontant le discours de l’auteur déployé dans ses essais et son œuvre romanesque à sa critique ainsi qu’aux travaux des historiens spécialistes de l’immédiat après-guerre, la thèse propose une lecture de l’œuvre romanesque d’Ôé Kenzaburô au prisme de l’Histoire et de son influence sur son histoire personnelle.The topic of this thesis is a study of discursive techniques developed in his essays by the Japanese novelist Ôe Kenzaburo, Nobel Prize in Literature in 1994, and the correspondence between the portrayal of the central theme of violence in these essays and its appearances in the fictions of the author, as seen through the historical and political context in which these discourses take place. The thesis proposes, through these essays, to follow the personal path of the author and his intellectual growth, marked by the ambivalence between a democratic hope created by the new educative system of post-war Japan, and a desire of self-affirmation in violence and death inherited from the pre-war one. It then goes through a thematic study of the fiction works of Ôe while focusing on the representation, through the characters of the novels, of the personal obsessions of the author as shown through the studies of his essays: fascination of violence, desire of self-sacrifice, apocalyptical feeling, and nostalgia of war. Through a thorough analysis of these themes and of their evolution through the works of fiction of Ôe, the thesis shows the pregnancy of the desire of sacrifice and of a meditation based on a binary dynamic opposition, involving violence, active or passive, as a privileged way of self-accomplishment. By confronting the discourse of the author in his essays and his works of fiction against its criticism and the work of the historians focused on the postwar period, the thesis allows a reading of the fiction work of Ôe Kenzaburô through History and its influence on his personal history
Lone Star Geyser, the Hermit of Yellowstone Nat. Park, Wyo.
No full textLONE STAR GEYSER, THE HERMIT OF YELLOWSTONE. Although the greatest of the geyser basins are now behind us, the traveler is richly rewarded who turns aside from the main road about 3 miles S. of Old Faithful and makes a short side trip to see Lone Star Geyser in its sylvan setting amid the forests bordering Spring Creek. The eruptions of Lone Star, which occur about once in 3 hours and last for some 10 minutes, do not compare in magnitude with those of some of the monsters farther N., though there is grace and beauty in the slender 50-foot stream thrown from its central vent. But its erect cone, 12 ft. high and about 9 ft. in diameter, is the most symmetrical and perfect in the Park and of strikingly delicate external structure and coloring. Immediately beyond Lone Star Geyser begins a vast wilderness, embracing the whole Southwestern portion of the Park, which is less known than any other part of it. Indeed, this so-called "Cascade Corner" was never thoroughly explored until 1921, when many of the beautiful water falls of the Bechler River received their names and other interesting features were discovered among the forested valleys of the Falls River Basin and the immense uplands of Pitchstone Plateau. In that direction, too, lie other geyser basins, accessible by horseback trail, which are second in magnitude only to those of the Firehole and the Gibbon. Five miles S. of Lone Star, on the W. Shore of Shoshone Lake, is the Shoshone Geyser Basin. Its most notable features are Bronze Geyser, so named because of the metallic luster of its cone and Union Geyser, remarkable for possessing three active craters of which the central one plays to a height of 100 ft. (View looking S. Elev. 7,700 ft. Lat. 44° N.; Long. 111° W.
