A single-beat algorithm to discriminate farfield from nearfield bipolar voltage electrograms from the pulmonary veins

Vincent Schlageter, Jean-Marc Vesin, Adrian Luca

Background Superimposition of farfield (FF) and nearfield (NF) bipolar voltage electrograms (BVE) complicates the confirmation of pulmonary vein (PV) isolation after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. Our aim was to develop an automatic algorithm ba ...

Frequency and time domains interactions in nanophotonics

Andrei Kiselev

In this thesis, we discuss the problems of scattering and optical manipulation related to nanosystems of different complexities. The multipolar decomposition method is used to represent scattering processes in nanosystems as a series of elementary excitati ...

Revealing the Formation Dynamics of Janus Polymer Particles: Insights from Experiments and Molecular Dynamics

Philip Robin Loche

Seeded emulsion polymerization is one of the best-known methods for preparing polymer particles with a controlled size, composition, and shape. It first requires the preparation of seed particles, which are then swollen with additional monomer (the same as ...

Constraining quasar structure using high-frequency microlensing variations and continuum reverberation

Frédéric Courbin, Vivien François Bonvin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Eric Gérard Guy Paic, Hung-Hsu Chan, Georgios Vernardos

Gravitational microlensing is a powerful tool for probing the inner structure of strongly lensed quasars and for constraining parameters of the stellar mass function of lens galaxies. This is achieved by analysing microlensing light curves between the mult ...

Active microrheology in corrugated channels: Comparison of thermal and colloidal baths

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

Hypothesis: The dynamics of colloidal suspension confined within porous materials strongly differs from that in the bulk. In particular, within porous materials, the presence of boundaries with complex shapes entangles the longitudinal and transverse degre ...
