Crystalline structures in foams: guided mechanical self-assembly of bubbles in fiber arrays by Marwan Chammouma, Manon Jouanlanne, Antoine Egelé, Damien Favier, Jean Farago, Aurélie Hourlier-Fargette

“…The long-range crystalline architectures achieved in samples spanning hundreds of bubbles are then quantified through a theoretical approach analysing the orientational order in the samples. This methodology, based on the decomposition of strut orientations via spherical harmonics, is inspired by the so-called Steinhardt’s coefficients , developed for quantifying rotational order in 3D liquids. …”

Non-target effects of ten essential oils on the egg parasitoid Trichogramma evanescens by van Oudenhove, Louise, Cazier, Aurélie, Fillaud, Marine, Lavoir, Anne-Violette, Fatnassi, Hicham, Perez, Guy, Calcagno, Vincent

“…In particular, we tested whether EOs affected parasitoid fitness either directly, by decreasing pre-imaginal survival, or indirectly, by disrupting parasitoids' orientation abilities. The effect of Anise, Fennel, Sweet orange, Basil, Coriander, Oregano, Peppermint, Mugwort, Rosemary and Thyme EOs were studied on five strains of T. evanescens. …”
