We study the flux flow state in superconducting materials characterized by rather strong intrinsic pinning, such as Nb, NbN, and nanostructured Al thin films, in which we drag the superconducting dissipative state into the normal state by current biasing. We modify the vortex pinning strength either by ion irradiation, by tuning the measuring temperature or by including artificial pinning centers. We measure critical flux flow voltages for all materials and the same effect is observed: switching to low flux flow dissipations at low fields for an intermediate pinning regime. This mechanism offers a way to additionally promote the stability of the superconducting state. [less ▲]

Controlling the partial coalescence of a droplet on a vertically vibrated bath

A method is proposed to stop the cascade of partial coalescences of a droplet laid on a liquid bath. The strategy consists of vibrating the bath in the vertical direction in order to keep small droplets bouncing. Since large droplets are not able to bounce, they partially coalesce until they reach a critical size. The system behaves as a low pass filter: droplets smaller than the critical size are selected. This size has been investigated as a function of the acceleration and the frequency of the bath vibration. Results suggest that the limit size for bouncing is related to the first mode of the droplet deformation. [less ▲]

Controls of the surface water partial pressure of CO2 in the North Sea

The seasonal variability of the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) has been investigated in the North Sea, a northwest European shelf sea. Based on a seasonal and high spatial resolution data set the main controlling factors – biological processes and temperature - have been identified and quantified. In the central and northern parts being a CO2- sink all year round, the biological control dominates the temperature control. In the southern part, the temperature control dominates the biological control at an annual scale, since the shallow water column prevents stronger net-CO2 removal from the surface layer due to the absence of seasonal stratification. The consequence is a reversal of the CO2 seato- air flux during the spring bloom period, the only time, when CO2 is taken up from the atmosphere in the southern region. Net community production in the mixed layer has been estimated to 4mol Cm−2 yr−1 with higher values (4.3 mol Cm−2 yr−1) in the northern part and lower values in the southern part (2.6 mol Cm−2 yr−1).

Mon argument va en deux sens, il s’agit d’abord de montrer le caractère controversé et incertain de la gestion territorial en Amazonie; Et deuxièmement, de tester l’hypothèse constructiviste selon laquelle l’espace est produit, par l’intermédiaire d’instrument scientifiques et techniques, et non pas donné ontologiquement.
