Liquid spreading

L Leger, JF Joanny - Reports on Progress in Physics, 1992 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the wetting and spreading properties of simple liquids on solid surfaces, putting
emphasis on the role of the heterogeneities of the solid surface and on the spreading kinetics. …

The neuronal network responsible for paradoxical sleep and its dysfunctions causing narcolepsy and rapid eye movement (REM) behavior disorder

…, E Sapin, D Gervasoni, C Peyron, L Léger… - Sleep medicine …, 2011 - Elsevier
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterized
by the loss of muscle atonia during paradoxical (REM) sleep (PS). Conversely, cataplexy, …

Dynamics of entangled polymer chains

PG De Gennes, L Leger - Annual Review of Physical Chemistry, 1982 - annualreviews.org
Polymer melts flow like conventional (viscous) liquids if they are subjected to slowly varying
perturbations; but, at somewhat higher frequencies w, they behave like an elastic rubber. …

The multistage 20 metre shuttle run test for aerobic fitness

LA Leger, D Mercier, C Gadoury… - Journal of sports …, 1988 - Taylor & Francis
… In 1982, Leger and Lambert reported a correlation of 0.84 and a standard error of the
estimate of 10.5% for a newly designed 20 m multistage shuttle run test with 2 min stages …

A maximal multistage 20-m shuttle run test to predict O2 max

LA Leger, J Lambert - European journal of applied physiology and …, 1982 - Springer
… Three values for 1)O2 max are considered in this paper: the directly measured l)O; max, the
retroextrapolated ~zO 2 max and the 1)O2 max predicted from the maximal speed achieved …

Direct experimental evidence of slip in hexadecane: solid interfaces

R Pit, H Hervet, L Leger - Physical review letters, 2000 - APS
The boundary condition for the flow velocity of a Newtonian fluid near a solid wall has been
probed experimentally with a novel setup using total internal reflection–fluorescence …

Silanation of silica surfaces. A new method of constructing pure or mixed monolayers

P Silberzan, L Leger, D Ausserre, JJ Benattar - Langmuir, 1991 - ACS Publications
We present a quantitative study of different parameters of the silanation reaction (grafting of
long aliphatic chains on silica surfaces via trichlorosilane group). Some of them, such as …

Quantification of adipose tissue by MRI: relationship with anthropometric variables

R Ross, L Leger, D Morris… - Journal of applied …, 1992 - journals.physiology.org
This study had two objectives: 1) to establish magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a tool
for measuring total and regional adipose tissue (AT) distribution in humans and 2) to assess …

Slip transition of a polymer melt under shear stress

KB Migler, H Hervet, L Leger - Physical review letters, 1993 - APS
We present the first direct measurements of the local velocity of a sheared polymer melt within
the first 100 nm from the solid-liquid interface. For high enough shear rates we observe a …

Validity of the 20 m shuttle run test with 1 min stages to predict VO2max in adults.

L Leger, C Gadoury - Canadian journal of sport sciences= Journal …, 1989 - europepmc.org
The purpose of this study was to assess the validity of the 1 min stage version of the 20 m
shuttle run multistage test to predict VO2max in adults (53 males and 24 females, 19 to 47 …
