Aging is a phenomenon that describes the change in contaminant bioavailability to soil-dwelling organisms with an increase in soil contact time.... Aging is usually a two-phase process; an early rapid sorption stage(e. g., to clay, soil humic acid, soil-derived metal oxides, etc.) followed by slower reaction processes(e. g., adsorption on condensed organic matter, diffusion into nano-pores, encapsulation). 1, record 3, English, - aging

Le vieillisemment est le phénomène par lequel la biodisponibilité d'un ou de plus d'un contaminant change avec une augmentation du temps de contact. [...] Le vieillissement se déroule habituellement en deux temps : une phase de sorption hâtive et rapide (p. ex., sur l'argile, l'acide humique du sol, les oxydes métalliques provenant du sol), suivie d'une phase de réaction plus lente (p. ex., adsorption sur la matière organique condensée, diffusion dans les nanopores, encapsulation) [...] 1, record 3, French, - vieillisement

... DECLIC is a new, modular, multi-user facility currently being designed and built by the French Space Agency, CNES, for use aboard the International Space Station. This facility is being designed to conduct microgravity investigations in critical phenomena and directional solidification of transparent alloys. Specifically, DECLIC will accommodate chemical-physical studies of supercritical pure fluids with a critical temperature lower than 100°C and a critical pressure lower than 100 bar... and supercritical pure fluids and solutions with a critical temperature lower than 600°C and a critical pressure lower than 500 bar... It will also accommodate microgravity investigations in morphological stability at the solid/liquid interface during crystal growth in transparent alloys. In addition, investigations in condensed matter physics requiring a long term microgravity environment can also take advantage of the capabilities offered by DECLIC. 3, record 5, English, - material%20sciences%20and%20fluid%20physics%20facility

Since the mesoscopic structure of many forms of soft condensed matter strongly scatters visible light, they appear opaque. My current research takes advantage of this multiple light scattering property for noninvasive study of opaque materials such as foams, emulsions, colloidal suspensions, granular media, and biological tissues that are inaccessible to traditional measurement techniques. From the average intensity of diffusely transmitted light we can monitor details of the mesoscopic structure, while from fluctuations in the transmitted intensity we can monitor motion within the structure itself. 2, record 7, English, - mesoscopic%20structure
