Fractional-Order Control of a Micrometric Linear Axis by Luca Bruzzone, Pietro Fanghella

“…This paper discusses the application of a particular fractional-order control scheme, the PDD1/2, to the position control of a micrometric linear axis. The PDD1/2 scheme derives from the classical PD scheme with the introduction of the half-derivative term. …”

Planetary formation and early phases by Crida, Aurélien

“…In this review, we describe the structure and properties of such disks, and the various phenomenons that lead to the final product: a planetary system. First, micrometre dust settles and coagulates. Then, a complex interplay between the gas and centimetre aggregates leads to efficient phenomenons such as the streaming instability and the pebble accretion. …”

Micron-scale imaging using bulk ultrasonics by Loheshwaran Chandran, Mohamed Subair Syed Akbar Ali, Bradley Bobbs, Chandan Dutta, Joseph JD, Enakshi Bhattacharya, Prabhu Rajagopal

“…The development and performance of the silicon-based Fabry–Perot type metalenses with an array of 10 micrometre square holes are discussed. Challenges in wave reception are addressed by a custom-developed micro-focal laser with a sub-micron spot size and an innovative experimental set-up together with physics based signal processing. …”

Mitigation of human factor in tomographic post processing of additive manufactured critical parts for aviation application by Stefano Benuzzi, Davide Borghi, Maria Grazia Righi, Natanaele Galavotti, Fabio Esposito

“…Simultaneously to the development of AM fabrication, tomographic systems have also adapted to meet the needs of application-dependent inspection: from micro-focus and nano-focus systems for finding micrometre-sized discontinuities, to linear accelerators for inspecting large components built in high-density alloys, the current range of machinery allows for traversing and inspecting current production by filling the gap generated by the manufacturing paradigm shift. …”

Effects of oxidative weathering on Raman spectra of charcoal and bone chars: consequences in archaeology and paleothermometry by Deldicque, Damien, Rouzaud, Jean-Noël, Vandevelde, Ségolène, Medina-Alcaide, Maria Ángeles, Ferrier, Catherine, Perrenoud, Christian, Pozzi, Jean-Pierre, Cabanis, Manon

“…Nonetheless, it remains possible to estimate the formation temperature of a charcoal when some fragments are preserved at the micrometre scale. Furthermore, we propose an original tool that enable us to distinguish the vegetal or animal origin of ancient and oxidized chars. …”

Des « brocarts appliqués » dans la sculpture savoyarde by Lelong Florence, Pouyet Emeline, Champdavoine Sophie, Guiblain Thomas, Martinetto Pauline, Walter Philippe, Rousselière Hélène, Cotte Marine

“…It combines macro- and micrometer surface observations, non-invasive analyses using portable instrumentation, and nondestructive analyses of micrometric samples using synchrotron radiation. This approach allowed identifying the motifs, techniques and materials used to manufacture the « applied brocades », thus unraveling local singularities. …”

Quantitative Multiparameter Evaluation of Vacuoles in Intraocular Lenses Employing a High-Magnification Digital Microscopy Method by Vincent Spiezio, Bennett N. Walker, Don Calogero, Ilko K. Ilev

“…As small imperfections with micrometric sizes, fluid-filled vacuoles, also referred to as glistenings, in intraocular lenses (IOLs) have been known to induce significant unwanted light scattering that in several cases presumably cause complaints and sometimes lead to IOL explantation and replacement. …”
