To combine the basic solutions in different coordinate systems, the generalized Fourier method is used. …”

Recent advances in oblique plane microscopy by Kim Jeongmin

“…Together with oblique lightsheet illumination, OPM can make conventional lightsheet imaging fully compatible with standard biological specimens prepared on microscope slides. OPM is not only an excellent high-speed volumetric imaging platform by sweeping oblique lightsheet illumination without mechanically moving either the sample or objective lens in sample space, but also provides a solution for direct oblique plane imaging along any orientation of interest on the sample in a single shot. …”

Quelles organisations de la mobilité plus durables et moins dépendantes de la voiture dans les espaces ruraux à faible densité ? L’exemple du Parc naturel régional Loire-Anjou-Tour... by Marie Huyghe, Hervé Baptiste, Jean-Paul Carrière

“…Two phenomena will in the next years hinder the rural populations’ mobility practices: the environmental recommendations of the French law “Grenelle 2”, which encourages the development of the most accessible areas only; the increasing cost of energy and fuel. In such a context, the excessive reliance on car for mobility is not a solution anymore: the poorly-served areas may then have to face a recessive dynamics, or even a new rural depopulation. …”
