PRECISION LOW-COST COMPACT MICRO-DISPLACEMENT SENSORS BASED ON A NEW ARRANGEMENT OF CASCADED LEVERS WITH FLEXURAL JOINTS

Precision Low-Cost Compact Micro-Displacement Sensors Based on a New Arrangement of Cascaded Levers with Flexural Joints

Existing displacement sensors of micrometers to sub-micron precision are expensive and have various limitations.This paper reports the design 1073spx and development of a new contact type compact micro-displacement sensor of sub-micron precision for a fraction of the cost of commercial devices.The basic concept of the new sensor system applies a me

Actinorhizal Alder Phytostabilization Alters Microbial Community Dynamics in Gold Mine Waste Rock from Northern Quebec: A Greenhouse Study.

Phytotechnologies are rapidly replacing conventional ex-situ remediation techniques as they have the added benefit of restoring aesthetic value, important in the reclamation of mine sites.Alders are pioneer species that can tolerate and proliferate in nutrient-poor, contaminated environments, largely due to symbiotic root associations with the N2-f
