SJS/TEN 2019: From Science to Translation

Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) are potentially life-threatening, immune-mediated adverse reactions characterized by widespread erythema, epidermal necrosis, and detachment of skin and mucosa. Efforts to grow and develop functional international collaborations and a multidisciplinary interactive network focusing on SJS/TEN as an uncommon but high burden disease will be necessary to improve efforts in prevention, early diagnosis and improved acute and long-term management. SJS/TEN 2019: From Science to Translation was a 1.5-day scientific program held April 26-27, 2019, in Vancouver, Canada. The meeting successfully engaged clinicians, researchers, and patients and conducted many productive discussions on research and patient care needs

Laser-induced forward transfer techniques for printing functional materials and photonic devices

The subject of this thesis is to study the Laser-Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT) tech-nique using a time-resolved method in order to gain a better insight into the dynamics of the transfer process and to use the technique for rapid prototyping of photonic devices and printing piezoelectric materials for energy harvesting applications. A nanosecond shadowgraphy technique was used to study the triazene polymer (TP)-dynamic release layer (DRL) assisted LIFT technique for solid-phase ceramic materials namely gadolinium gallium oxide (Gd-Ga-O)and ytterbium doped yttrium aluminium oxide (Yb:YAG). The dependence of the distance travelled by the shockwave and the ejected donor material, their velocities and the quality of the ejected donor pixel on the laser fluence, the thickness of the TP-DRL and donor film thickness was studied and is discussed. Segmented channel waveguides, X-couplers and mode-filters based on titanium (Ti) in-diffused lithium niobate (LN) have been fabricated using the LIFT technique. The segment separation was found to be the key factor in determining mode profiles of waveguides. The corrugations due to the segmented nature of the deposits was observed to introduce non-adiabatic behavior in the mode filters which was further confrmed by theoretical modeling. Forward transfer of donor films with patterns to be transferred machined into them prior to LIFT have been investigated. This technique allows debris-free printing of thicker and fragile donors films with extremely smooth and uniform edges in intact and solid-phase without the need of any sacrificial layer. Results of debris-free printing of micro-pellets of zinc oxide (ZnO) with extremely good quality edges from donor films pre-machined using focused ion beam (FIB) are presented. Printing and post-transfer characterization of both lead zirconate titanate (PZT) and non-lead based ZnO piezoelectric materials for energy harvesting applications using the LIFT and TP-DRL assisted LIFT techniques have been studied and discussedEThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo

40-GHz Optical-Pulse Generation based on Electroabsorption Modulator driven by low-power MMIC

International audienceThis paper reports on the design of an optical-pulse source at a 40-Gb/s repetition rate integrating a single electro-absorption modulator (EAM) sinusoïdally driven by a 40-GHz low-power MMIC driver specifically designed to match the electro-optical response of the EAM. The 40-GHz MMIC HEMT driver has been designed to optimize the required control voltage of the InP-based MQW-EAM in order to generate optical pulses with a narrow pulse width and high extinction ratio from a very-low-power drive

Fifth International Workshop on Human Factors in Modeling / Modeling of Human Factors (HuFaMo\u2721)

Studying human factors and experiences in modeling helps to gain knowledge on the process and use of modeling in practice to optimize system outcomes and user well-being. Moreover, to better support the human aspects of stakeholders and end-users of the software, incorporating the human aspects into software engineering processes from the early modeling and design stages is essential. Considering human factors in software design involves not only 1) studying in detail the interactions between users (humans), but also 2) studying the human factors of the end-users of the system. The HuFaMo workshop was established in 2015 to promote this form of research by creating a venue to discuss and disseminate these topics. The HuFaMo Workshop originally aimed at studying human factors for software systems (implemented or not) allowing humans to model. Hosted within the MODELS conference, the first four editions of the workshop benefited from a high-quality audience, allowing significant progress on this issue. For this fifth edition, we have widened the scope of the workshop to consider the modeling of human factors during the design of the software as well. This helps to study all types of relationships that modeling and human factors can have and their impact on processes, products, and end-users as well as others that might be affected by the system
