Characterizing Water Pollution Potential in Life Cycle Impact Assessment Based on Bacterial Growth and Water Quality Models
Authors: Bai Shunwen , Wang Xiuheng , Zhao Xinyue , Ren Nanqi
Published: November 2018

For the life cycle assessment (LCA) of wastewater management, eutrophication is considered the most relevant factor. However, eutrophication is not the only pathway through which wastewater influences the environment, and merely characterizing eutrophication potential is not sufficient for the LCA framework to reflect the influence of wastewater. This study defines the Bacterial Depletion of Oxygen (BDO)—a new impact category that represents the oxygen depleting potential caused by the growth of microorganisms—and characterization models and characterization factors are developed for the application of BDO. Water quality models (both one- and two-dimensional) are incorporated into the BDO characterization models so that the LCA framework includes some spatially differentiated factors, and can be used to estimate the direct impact of wastewater on receiving environment (IBDO value). Based on three case studies, this study demonstrates how the BDO category can be applied for the evaluation of wastewater management. Results show that increases in the downstream distance and self-purification coefficients reduce the IBDO value, whereas the increase in water velocity raises the IBDO value. Future integration of the BDO category with water quality models must link the dilution effect of water bodies, the environmental carrying capacity of receiving water, and the distribution of water pollutants in eutrophication and bacterial oxygen depletion.

Contribution à l'étude de la mine d'Uranium de Limouzat (Massif des Bois˗Noirs)
Authors: Durand Georges
Published: November 2018

Des échantillons provenant de 7 prélèvements effectués en divers points de la mine de Limouzat ont été systématiquement analysés par voie chimique (Pb, U, Th), par spectrométrie de masse et enfin par spectrométrie gamma. Les résultats de ces analyses ont conduit à des conclusions de plusieurs ordres :

1. Une mesure d'âge absolu portant sur un seul échantillon n'a généralement pas de sens.

2. Les interprétations des spectres gamma doivent tenir compte des effets d'écran dus en grande partie au plomb, mais également aux autres éléments contenus dans les échantillons.

3. L'histoire de la minéralisation en uranium de la mine de Limouzat est simple : première venue il y a 265 M. A. (début du Permien), remaniement accompagné d'une mobilisation partielle de l'uranium il y a 65 M. A. (début du Paléocène).
Étude d'interprétation structurale de macles de l'anatase
Authors: Frey Michel , Monier Jean-Claude
Published: November 2018

Des pseudo˗éléments de symétrie d'une tranche de la structure atomique cristalline correspondant aux éléments de macle parallèles au P. C. O. (plan de composition originel) sont utilisés pour obtenir les positions relatives des atomes des deux individus dans chacun des types de macles étudiés. On admet que la croissance des formes auxquelles appartiennent les P. C. O. de ces macles s'effectue, pour chacune des faces, par croissance de couches successives. Les éléments de symétrie de macle se trouvent entre deux couches contiguës appartenant l'une au premier, l'autre au second individu.

On fait le bilan des liaisons du cristal perturbées dans les édifices maclés. L'énergie d'adhésion, par molécule TiO₂, d'un germe bidimensionnel sur une face (011) est calculée par la méthode de Madelung et celle de Hartman ; on obtient — 0,827 e² Å⁻¹ dans le cas du cristal, — 0,432 e² Å⁻¹ dans celui de la macle (112) par pénétration et — 0,375 e² Å⁻¹ dans le cas de la macle (011) par contact beaucoup plus rare que la précédente.

Published: November 2018

A basse température l'orthovanadate de cobalt est cubique, isomorphe des spinelles lacunaires ordonnés du type A₃B₂O₈. A 530° C cette variété se détruit pour donner la variété orthorhombique déjà décrite de l'orthovanadate. La transformation n'est pas réversible. Cette nouvelle forme se prépare par une réaction d'échange à l'état solide, du type de celle utilisée pour la préparation des germanates et titanates lacunaires.

Étude de la structure de quelques dérivés pyridiniques
Authors: Kupfer -Tsoucaris Danuta
Published: November 2018

Nous avons étudié par analyse radiocristallographique deux molécules douées de propriétés biologiques. La première est le bichlorhydrate de l'hydrazide de l'acide isonicotinique (isoniazide), qui est le plus puissant des médicaments antituberculeux. La seconde est le chlorhydrate de β˗pyridylcarbinol, qui est un médicament vaso-dilatateur périphérique. Le but de notre travail était de donner une description précise de la structure de ces molécules afin de pouvoir discuter leur mécanisme d'action pharmacologique.

Le bichlorhydrate d'isoniazide se présente sous deux formes cristallographiques. Nous avons pu comparer nos résultats à ceux de l'isoniazide base, dont la structure a été déterminée antérieurement, et obtenir pour chacune des caractéristiques moléculaires trois valeurs indépendantes.

Les caractéristiques du noyau pyridinique sont proches des valeurs observées dans d'autres dérivés pyridiniques.

Le groupe hydrazidique est plan. La valeur des liaisons C-O (1,23 ± 0,03 Å) et C-N (1,35 ± 0.03 Å) montre que ce groupe est le siège d'une résonance entre deux formules limites. L'une d'elles est susceptible de conduire à la formation d'un complexe cuivrique qui est à la base de la théorie actuelle du mécanisme d'action pharmacologique de l'isoniazide.

Le chlorhydrate de β˗pyridylcarbinol présente une formule chimique voisine de deux autres molécules biologiques : l'acide et l'amide isonicotinique. L'étude radiocristallographique a confirmé cette similitude et précisé les faits suivants :

Le noyau pyridinique présente des distances interatomiques et des angles valenciels proches de ceux d'autres dérivés pyridiniques. La valeur de l'angle C-N-C (121°) du chlorhydrate de β˗pyridylcarbinol est comparable à celle observée dans les deux formes du bichlorhydrate d'isoniazide (122°). Elle est nettement supérieure à la valeur moyenne (117°) observée pour les dérivés pyridiniques à l'état de base. Cette différence est due à la modification de la répartition électronique relative à l'azote lors de la salification.

La chaîne latérale est orientée en cis par rapport à l'azote pyridinique. Elle est coplanaire avec le noyau.

On peut rapprocher les analogies structurales et biologiques de ces trois substances.
Mégacristaux d'amphibole et basaltes alcalins associés. Problèmes de leurs relations pétrogénétiques et géochimiques
Authors: Liotard Jean-Michel , Boivin Pierre , Cantagrel Jean-Marie , Dupuy Claude
Published: November 2018

Quelques laves basaltiques tertiaires et quaternaires du Massif Central ainsi que les amphiboles associées ont été analysées pour les éléments majeurs, les éléments de transition et les éléments en trace suivants : Rb, Sr, Ba, Hf, Ta, Th, U, Terres Rares. Les rapports isotopiques du strontium ont été déterminés sur plusieurs couples Minéral/Roche. A quelques rares exceptions près, explicables en termes de contamination, les teneurs en éléments incompatibles et les rapports isotopiques des amphiboles et des laves hôtes sont corrélés et il semble possible de proposer des valeurs de coefficients de partage amphibole/liquide.

Certains faits (teneurs en Ni et Cr des amphiboles en particulier) suggèrent cependant que l'amphibole n'a pas cristallisé obligatoirement à partir de la lave hôte mais plutôt à partir d'un magma de composition similaire.
Henryite, a new copper-silver telluride from Bisbee, Arizona
Authors: Criddle Alan J. , Stanley Chris J. , Chisholm Jim E. , Fejer Eva E.
Published: November 2018

Henryite is a new mineral from the Campbell orebody, Bisbee, Arizona, U.S.A. In plane-polarized reflected light it is pale blue. It is isotropic. Colour values in air relative to the CIE illuminant C are : x 0.290, y 0.298, Y% 32.2-32.6, λd 478-479, Pe % 9.1-9.3. The Vickers microhardness (VHN₁₀₀) is 109-119. The strongest reflections in the henryite powder pattern [dhki (I) (hkl)] are : 2. 156 (10) (440), 3.043 (8) (400), 7.03 (6) (111), 2.348 (6) (511, 333), 1.3646 (6) (840), 1.2451 (6) (844). They are indexed on a face-centred cubic cell with a cell-edge of 12.20 ± 0.02 Å with a cell volume 1 815 ± 9 Å³. The probable cell contents, based on 32 close-packed Te atoms are 8[Cu3,77Ag3,01Te₄] giving a calculated density of 7.86 gcm⁻³. The powder intensities, unit cell and the atomic radii together suggest that the Ag atoms are ordered on octahedral sites.
La dervillite, Ag2AsS2, nouvelle définition de l'espèce
Authors: Bari Hubert , Cesbron Fabien , Moëlo Yves , Permingeat François , Picot Paul , Pierrot Roland , Schubnel Henri-Jean , Weil René
Published: November 2018

Dervillite was described in 1941 on the basis of the morphology of tiny crystals (≤ 0.3 mm) and qualitative chemistry as a compound of lead, sulphur and antimony, and possibly also bismuth. A reinvestigation of the original sample proves the chemical data to be erroneous and based on chemical tests on material that was apparently not extracted from the dervillite crystals ; the material was taken from powders prepared for X-ray work that owing to war circonstances could not be completed.

The holotype specimen from Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines (Haut-Rhin, France) (Mus. Nat. d'Hist. Nat. Paris, n° 1531) is the only one known, and carries few crystals. A restudy of 4 crystals has permitted a fully revised description. Goniometric study confirms the original measurements and authenticates the material used. Dervillite is monoclinic, P2/a, with : a = 6.833, b = 12.932, c = 9.638Å, β = 99°33', in good agreement with the goniometry. An X-ray powder pattern was fully indexed ; strongest diffractions : 3.075 (10) 013 ; 3.019 (8) 201, -132 ; 2.843 (5) -141, 023 ; 3.251 (3) -211 ; 2.659 (3) 230.

The reflectivity is a little less than that of the tetrahedrite group. VHN 19.5 kg/mm2 under 50-100 g load. Microprobe analysis gives Ag = 61.39 %, As = 19.35 %, S = 18.06 %, ∑ = 98.48 %, and the deficiency is believed to be mainly As lost by heating under electron beam. Pb, Sb, and Bi were not found. This gives the formula Ag2AsS2. The density could not be measured for lack of suitable and sufficient material. On the basis of the formula Ag8As4S8, and with Z = 2, dcalc. is 5.62. A crystal structure study is in progress.

The holotype specimen and a slide with a few crystals are preserved in the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle de Paris. An other slide with one crystal is preserved in the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Paris.
Apport de la fluidisation à la valorisation pyrométallurgique des grès à rutile et zircon du Massif armoricain

Published: November 2018

Recovery of titanium contained in the sands of the Massif Armoricain is possible using a reaction at 900 °C, in a fluidized bed, with thionyl chloride (SOCl2). The amount of extracted titanium is dependent on time and/or the temperature of treatment and on the particle size of ore. The fluidized bed allows the time of treatment to be reduced with respect to the static bed.
Enhanced single-isomer separation and pseudoenantiomer resolution of new primary rim heterobifunctionalized α-cyclodextrin derivatives
Authors: Tichá Iveta , Benkovics Gábor , Malanga Milo , Jindřich Jindřich
Published: November 2018

The synthesis of batch-to-batch reproducible cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives often requires functionalization at specific positions of the CD skeleton. However, the regioselective preparation of this type of CD derivatives remains a challenge in synthetic chemistry. Thus, the present study aimed to prepare all positional regioisomers on the primary rim of homobifunctionalized diazido-α-CDs by selective substitution on the primary rim. Specifically, three positional regioisomers 6A,6B-, 6A,6C-, and 6A,6D-diazido-α-CDs were prepared via different intermediates (using sulfonylation with capping agents, bromination and tosylation). Furthermore, heterobifunctionalized 6A-azido-6X-mesitylenesulfonyl-α-CDs were also synthesized, and all regioisomers were successfully separated by HPLC. Moreover, the heterobifunctionalized α-CD regioisomers were isolated in gram-scale quantities, isomers AB and AC in the form of a pseudoenantiomeric mixture. The pseudoenantiomers AC/CA and AB/BA were resolved on an analytical scale by HPLC–MS at 10 °C. Thus, the presented synthetic and analytical methods for homo- and heterodisubstituted α-CDs are efficient and reproducible for the preparation of various pure regioisomeric CD derivatives. Accordingly, our findings indicate, (i) the versatility of selectively modified azido and mesitylene CD skeletons in preparing new types of α-CD derivatives and (ii) the potential of using resolved α-CD pseudoenantiomers in other research fields such as organocatalysis.
Contralateral Routing of Signal Yields Significant Speech in Noise Benefit for Unilateral Cochlear Implant Recipients
Authors: Dwyer Robert T. , Kessler David , Butera Iliza M. , Gifford René H.
Published: November 2018

Background:Bilateral cochlear implantation is the standard of care for individuals with moderate sloping-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss who do not receive benefit from appropriately fit hearing aids. Because of financial, insurance, or medical reasons, some unilateral
cochlear implant (CI) recipients are unable to obtain a second CI. Here, we evaluated the first clinically available solution for individuals who have been unilaterally implanted and who do not or cannot use technology (e.g., hearing aid or CI) on the non-implanted ear.Purpose:We aimed
to investigate how the addition of a contralateral routing of signal (CROS) device could provide objective and/or subjective benefit to adult CI recipients with moderate-to-profound hearing loss in the non-implanted ear.Research Design:Single-center prospective study using a within-subjects
repeated-measures design.Study Sample:Participants included ten experienced unilateral CI recipients with severe-to-profound (n = 9) or moderate-to-profound (n = 1) sensorineural hearing loss in the non-implanted ear. At the time of study enrollment, participants did not use any technology
on the non-implanted ear. No other exclusion criteria were used.Intervention:Individuals were tested with and without a CROS device worn on the non-implanted ear.Data Collection and Analysis:We obtained measures of speech understanding in quiet (50 and 65 dBA) and in noise (+5-dB
signal-to-noise ratio with a 65-dBA speech signal) both with and without the CROS device in an acute listening condition. Subjective benefit was assessed via the Speech, Spatial and Qualities 12-item questionnaire before CROS fitting and after two weeks of continuous use. A mixed-model, repeated-measures
analysis of variance was completed with three talker locations and three presentation levels included as within-subjects factors and the presence or absence of a CROS device as a between-subjects factor.Results:There was an 11% improvement in speech understanding in noise with the addition
of the CROS device when speech was located at 0° azimuth. Subjective benefit in the speech domain of the SSQ was also observed.Conclusions:Use of CROS provided both subjective and objective speech recognition benefit for unilateral CI recipients who do not have access to bilateral
cochlear implantation.
MODELING RISKS IN REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS: A CASE FOR EGYPT
Authors: Marzouk Mohamed , Aboushady Ahmed
Published: November 2018

Risk analysis is a vital step in the succession of construction projects. However, no adequate researches have been conducted to assess, and quantify risk events in real estate projects in developing countries, and particularly in Egypt.This research recommends Fuzzy Quantitative Risk Assessment Model to quantify risk factors participated in real estate development projects. Model is composed of two components: 1) Fuzzy Fault Tree (FT) that determines root causes of each risk, probability of its occurrence, and probability of mitigation strategies failure; and 2) Fuzzy Event Tree (ET) that calculates crisp value of Expected Monetary Value (EMV) of allowance of mitigation of the identified risks. Causes of risk are determined through literature review and interviews with experts in field. Risk probability occurrence is determined using five linguistic terms, defined either triangular or trapezoidal membership functions which are developed using modified horizontal approach and an interpolation technique. Two-step Delphi technique is used to achieve consensus on the root causes and logical representation of the Fault Tree. Fuzzy importance analysis is performed to rank different root causes for identified risks according to their criticality to probability of occurrence. A Case Study is presented to evaluate results obtained from model, in terms of Expected Monetary Value (EMV), and fuzzy probability of failure for each risk participated in case study.
IDIOSYNCRATIC RISK AND SPILLOVER EFFECT IN REIT RETURNS
Authors: Hui Eddie C. M. , Wang Ziyou
Published: November 2018

Nowadays, idiosyncratic risk has substantial impacts on the risk control of portfolio construction. However, little research has been done on the spillover effect of idiosyncratic risk from global markets in REIT returns. A risk-return model is developed to examine the effects of idiosyncratic risk and its spillover on the short-run dynamics of REIT returns in 10 major REIT markets between 2001 and 2014. Variance decomposition provides evidence that idiosyncratic risk exceeds market risk most of the time. The risk-return models demonstrate that the spillover effect of idiosyncratic risk globally played a more significant role than idiosyncratic risk in the return dynamics during the subprime mortgage crisis. Furthermore, we analyse the asymmetric responses of volatility in REIT returns. The results show that the Netherlands is the most strongly preferred market in terms of earning excess returns, while the US market is unique in that the idiosyncratic risk and spillover effect tend to enlarge the fluctuations in REIT returns.

Published: November 2018

In this work we explore the possibility of using recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) in astronomical high-contrast imaging to statistically discriminate the signal of faint objects from speckle noise. To this end, we tested RQA on a sequence of high frame rate (1 kHz) images acquired with the SHARK-VIS forerunner at the Large Binocular Telescope. Our tests show promising results in terms of detection contrasts at angular separations as small as 50 mas, especially when RQA is applied to a very short sequence of data (2 s). These results are discussed in light of possible science applications and with respect to other techniques such as, for example, angular differential imaging and speckle-free imaging.

We present three maps of the millimeter-wave sky created by combining data from the South Pole Telescope (SPT) and the Planck satellite. We use data from the SPT-SZ survey, a survey of 2540 deg2 of the the sky with arcminute resolution in three bands centered at 95, 150, and 220 GHz, and the full-mission Planck temperature data in the 100, 143, and 217 GHz bands. A linear combination of the SPT-SZ and Planck data is computed in spherical harmonic space, with weights derived from the noise of both instruments. This weighting scheme results in Planck data providing most of the large-angular-scale information in the combined maps, with the smaller-scale information coming from SPT-SZ data. A number of tests have been done on the maps. We find their angular power spectra to agree very well with theoretically predicted spectra and previously published results.

Non-Linear Pathways to Social Transformation: Rosa Luxemburg and The Post-Colonial Condition
Authors: Hudis Peter
Published: November 2018

Rosa Luxemburg's The Accumulation of Capital, which spurred intense discussion and debate from the moment of its publication in 1913, has taken on new resonance in light of the global expansion of capitalism, the destruction of indigenous cultures and habitats, and capital's
reconfiguration of public and private space. No less important is a series of additional works by Luxemburg that address these themes, but which have received far less attention. These include her notes and lectures on pre-capitalist society that were composed as part of her work as a teacher
at the German Social Democratic Party's school in Berlin from 1907-14 and her Introduction to Political Economy, which first led her to confront the problem delineated in The Accumulation of Capital. These writings shed new light on the contributions as well as the limitations
of her understanding of the internal and external limits to capital accumulation, especially insofar as the ability of non-capitalist formations and practices to survive the domination of capital is concerned. Luxemburg's understanding of the impact of capitalism in undermining noncapitalist
strata has crucial ramifications for working out a viable alternative to capitalism today.
La fabrique des activités culturelles par les élus des comités d’entreprise : des choix militants ?
Authors: Béroud Sophie , Duchêne François
Published: November 2018

La gestion des activités sociales et culturelles relève des prérogatives des comités d’entreprise (CE) depuis leur création en 1946. Si ce domaine a été fortement investi dans les années 1950-1970 par les élus pour favoriser la diffusion des pratiques culturelles, il relève essentiellement aujourd’hui d’une approche marchande, les CE représentant un marché conséquent pour la consommation de biens culturels. Tous les élus se retrouvent-ils dans cette logique consumériste ? Comment pensent-ils plus particulièrement le périmètre des activités culturelles ? Quel sens leur donnent-ils par rapport à leur action en direction des salariés ? L’enquête restituée dans cet article déploie ces questionnements, en s’appuyant sur des données recueillies par questionnaire pour dresser un état des lieux des activités culturelles mises en œuvre par des CE en région Rhône-Alpes et repérer leur diversité, ainsi que sur des observations et des entretiens afin de mieux comprendre les pratiques concrètes des élus.
Analyse lacanienne ou psychanalyse ?
Authors: Denis Paul
Published: November 2018

Sur les points clés qui caractérisent la pratique psychanalytique telle qu’elle s’est élaborée à partir des travaux de Freud, Lacan et ceux qui le suivent de façon radicale, ont introduit une façon de voir qui les éloigne considérablement des « psychanalystes traditionnels ». Que ce soit sur la question du contre-transfert, du transfert, du désir, de l’organisation du moi, l’écart est considérable et plus considérable encore par rapport à la pratique clinique, celle qui recourt à des séances courtes et préconise la « scansion ». L’auteur en arrive à considérer qu’il existe parallèlement une « psychanalyse traditionnelle » et une « analyse lacanienne » profondément différentes.
Jacques Lacan et la théorie de l’interprétation
Authors: Diatkine Gilbert
Published: November 2018

Lacan a adhéré avec enthousiasme au projet de Claude Lévi-Strauss de bâtir une théorie structurale commune à l’anthropologie, à la linguistique et à la psychanalyse. Il espérait découvrir ainsi une nouvelle théorie qui justifierait sa pratique des séances brèves et de la ponctuation. En réalité, l’importation des concepts de la linguistique dans la psychanalyse l’a placé devant des difficultés considérables. Mais le dépassement de ces contradictions l’a amené à une compréhension nouvelle du rôle des mots dans l’interprétation qui est fructueuse pour tous les psychanalystes.

Published: November 2018

Sur le littoral Atlantique, les veuves participent à la plupart des activités en lien avec la mer. On les retrouve dans l’exploitation de l’estran, depuis la cueillette jusqu’à la conchyliculture, en passant par les pêcheries, largement ouvertes aux actrices de la pêche aux écluses d’Oléron et des huîtres pêchées « à la main de fer » sur tous les rochers du littoral. Productrices, les veuves des villages du littoral saintongeais étaient aussi des femmes d’affaires. C’est à la tête d’entreprises de transport, depuis le cabotage jusqu’à l’échelle du commerce international, que ces veuves ont finalement assumé les mêmes fonctions et responsabilités que les hommes, en Saintonge maritime.
Neonatal Cholestasis: A Primer of Selected Etiologies
Authors: Ananth Ranjani
Published: November 2018

Cholestasis refers to impairment in formation or excretion of bile. This can be due to defects in intrahepatic production of bile, defects in the transmembrane transport of bile, or mechanical obstruction to bile flow. Clinical features of cholestasis reflect the retention of components of bile (bilirubin, bile acids, cholesterol) in the body. In the neonatal period, hyperbilirubinemia can be categorized as either unconjugated (and often benign) hyperbilirubinemia, or conjugated hyperbilirubinemia due to cholestasis. It is for this reason that the first laboratory evaluation in a patient with jaundice, dark urine, and/or acholic stool is a fractionated bilirubin. This article serves as a practical primer for pediatric and neonatology trainees and covers common causes of neonatal cholestasis, as well as the diagnostic work-up and treatment. Causes that are discussed include biliary atresia, idiopathic neonatal hepatitis, gestational alloimmune liver disease, metabolic and genetic diseases, total parenteral nutrition cholestasis, and congenital infection.

Hepatobiliary Manifestations in Systemic Disease
Authors: Runde Joseph , Azzam Ruba K.
Published: November 2018

Liver disease in children occurs via a multitude of primary illnesses such as autoimmune hepatopathy, biliary atresia, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. However, jaundice, hepatitis, and alterations in liver tests can often be a manifestation of systemic diseases. The liver is involved in many critical functions such as circulation, immunity, toxin clearance, and metabolism; when the heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, immune system, or endocrine systems are compromised, the liver will be affected. This article reviews common causes of liver injury as well as highlights key associations that should not be missed when diagnosing and managing children with liver disease. Becoming familiar with patterns of liver injury and arranging clues in the context of a thorough history and physical examination can help providers navigate the broad differential diagnosis of secondary liver disease.

Authors: Komorowski Marlen , Wiard Victor , Derinöz Sabri , Picone Ike , Domingo David , Patriarche Geoffroy
Published: November 2018

La présente note de synthèse examine les caractéristiques de l’industrie des médias à Bruxelles du point de vue des clusters de médias et en évalue les implications pour la principale action stratégique de la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale à l’égard de cette industrie, à savoir, le projet décennal mediapark.brussels pour le développement urbanistique et immobilier du quartier Reyers, autour du site actuel des organismes publics de radiotélévision que sont la VRT et la RTBF. Les résultats de nos recherches mettent en lumière plusieurs configurations de clusters au sein de l’industrie des médias à Bruxelles, soulignent la diversité du personnel de ce secteur et donnent un aperçu de différents modèles de communautés de travailleurs et de leurs activités. Les orientations politiques qui président actuellement à la mise en place de mediapark.brussels sont exposées. Les connaissances acquises permettent d’évaluer les stratégies envisageables pour ce projet, compte tenu du fait qu’en Belgique, les médias relèvent de la compétence des Communautés, et non pas du gouvernement de la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale. Nous évoquons les tensions qui se manifestent dans le cadre de la mise en place de mediapark.brussels, opposant développement urbanistique et développement culturel, perspective locale et perspective internationale, cluster de médias couvrant un large éventail d’activités et cluster de médias spécialisé.
Is ride-hailing doomed to monopoly? Theory and evidence from the main U.S. markets
Authors: Carballa Smichowski Bruno
Published: November 2018

Cet article montre que l’irruption des plateformes numériques est en train de créer une dynamique winner-takes-all dans les marchés des VTC. On soutient que les marchés des VTC sont en train de devenir des marchés winner-takes-all pour deux raisons : la différenciation de produit n’est pas très pertinente pour créer des niches de marché et les effets de réseau indirects sont particulièrement forts dans les applis de VTC, spécialement car elles sont renforcées par l’effet « boule de neige de data » des usagers dans une plus grande mesure que dans d’autres plateformes numériques. On corrobore ce résultat en s’appuyant sur les données existantes des principales villes des États-Unis. Après avoir défini le marché pertinent des plateformes VTC, on compare les données existantes pour montrer que, comme attendu dans des marchés winner-takes-all, les parts de marché d’une seule firme (Uber) sont en train d’augment au détriment de celles de ses concurrents. Finalement, on montre que la stratégie d’Uber pour conquérir ces marchés semble être basée sur la prédation par les prix et on suggère trois manières à travers lesquelles Uber peut récupérer les pertes liées à la prédation de prix.

Authors: Qiu Xiaomin , Sha Dexuan , Meng Xuelian
Published: November 2018

Mapping land cover change is useful for various environmental and urban planning applications, e.g. land management, forest conservation, ecological assessment, transportation planning, and impervious surface control. As the optimal change detection approaches, algorithms, and parameters often depend on the phenomenon of interest and the remote sensing imagery used, the goal of this study is to find the optimal procedure for detecting urban growth in rural, forestry areas using one-meter, four-band NAIP images. Focusing on different types of impervious covers, the authors test the optimal segmentation parameters for object-based image analysis, and conclude that the random tree classifier, among the six classifiers compared, is most optimal for land use/cover change detection analysis with a satisfying overall accuracy of 87.7%. With continuous free coverage of NAIP images, the optimal change detection procedure concluded in this study is valuable for future analyses of urban growth change detection in rural, forestry environments.

Published: November 2018

Intelligent transport systems (ITSs) play a key role in people's daily activities. ITSs significantly improve mobility offering a variety of services to a vast number of users that increase on a daily basis, as more and new services are introduced. These services are based on advanced information and communication technologies (ICTs) and rely strongly on connectivity and computing resources. However, technical vulnerabilities of the technologies used in ITS, as well as the increase in users' awareness has brought security and privacy concerns to the forefront. This article aims at identifying a set of privacy concepts that provide the bases for designing trustworthy ITS services identifying possible threats and users' privacy concerns. A key contribution of the article is a roadmap that presents in detail how for every ITS function corresponding to privacy concepts can be realized for overcoming specific threats and users' privacy concerns in a smart city context.
Online Organization

Published: November 2018

Competitiveness has forced organizations to improve and adapt faster allowing the most capable individuals to fulfil organizational positions. Despite the need to overcome difficulties in resource management, the Portuguese Air Force still uses a method centered in hierarchical structure and career progress. Competencies within job positions are not yet typified, meaning that the individual that occupies a certain job position may not be the most capable. To solve this problem, this article studies an online organization model that represents the concepts of organizational entities, job positions, resource management and human resource management through competency management. The model describes each concept individually and the relationships between components. If validated and implemented, the model will allow an improvement in human resource management effectiveness, and efficiency.
Nurturing Collaborative Networks of Mobile Learning Researchers and Practitioners
Authors: Cochrane Thomas , Narayan Vickel
Published: November 2018

In this article, we present the development of a framework for supporting and facilitating collaborative networks of reflective practice using mobile social media. Developed throughout a two-year collaborative mobile learning project #NPF14LMD, the framework has subsequently been used to support two wider international networks of mobile learning researchers and practitioners. The #NPF14LMD project was a national project comprised of three universities and three polytechnics across New Zealand. One of the goals of the #NPF14LMD project was to create a collaborative network of practice across the six institutions participating in the project. The network provided a support and communication structure linking the six institutional communities of practice, enabling sharing of their experiences and a sense of belonging to a wider national and international community. This article outlines the use of mobile social media to facilitate the #NPF14LMD network, and the subsequent application of this framework to support two international networks.
A Review on Non-Asbestos Friction Materials: Material Composition and Manufacturing
Authors: Shinde Dinesh , Mistry Kishore N. , Jhavar Suyog , Pathak Sunil
Published: November 2018

The peculiar feature of friction materials to absorb the kinetic energy of rotating wheels of an automobile to control the speed makes them remarkable in automobile field. The regulation of speed cannot be achieved with the use of single phase material as a friction material. Consequently, the friction material should be comprised of composite materials which consist of several ingredients. Incidentally, the friction materials were formulated with friction modifier, binders, fillers and reinforcements. Due to its pleasant physical properties, asbestos was being used as a filler. Past few decades, it is found that asbestos causes dangerous cancer to its inhaler, which provides a scope its replacement. Several attempts have been made to find an alternative to the hazardous asbestos. The efforts made by different researchers for the impact of every composition of composite friction material in the field are reviewed and studied for their effect on the properties of friction material. Surface morphological studies of different friction material are compared to interpret the concept of surface wear and its correlation with material properties.

Published: November 2018

The aim of the this study to determine optimal process parameter for the hardness of direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) process as the hardness plays a significant role in to DMLS made components and die or mould. In this manner, research is focused around determining the effect of process parameters like laser power, scanning speed, layer thickness and hatch spacing on the hardness of CL50WS (maraging18Ni300 steel) material. A response surface methodology based numerical model was proposed to predict hardness, and the adequacy of the created model was checked through the analysis of variance technique. Additionally, optimized conditions were set up to maximize the hardness through the desirability function theory.
Bayesian zero-inflated spatio-temporal modelling of scrub typhus data in Korea, 2010-2014
Authors: Kang Dayun , Choi Jungsoon
Published: November 2018

Scrub typhus, a bacterial, febrile disease commonly occurring in the autumn, can easily be cured if diagnosed early. However, it can develop serious complications and even lead to death. For this reason, it is an important issue to find the risk factors and thus be able to prevent outbreaks. We analyzed the monthly scrub typhus data over the entire areas of South Korea from 2010 through 2014. A 2-stage hierarchical framework was considered since weather data are covariates and the scrub typhus data have different spatial resolutions. At the first stage, we obtained the administrative-level estimates for weather data using a spatial model; in the second, we applied a Bayesian zero-inflated spatio-temporal model since the scrub typhus data include excess zero counts. We found that the zero-inflated model considering the spatio-temporal interaction terms improves fitting and prediction performance. This study found that low humidity and a high proportion of elderly people are significantly associated with scrub typhus incidence.

Published: November 2018

Malignant mesothelioma (MM), a rare and very deadly tumour, can be due to asbestos exposure. To better understand the cause of incidence of MM, spatial autocorrelation analysis with reference to the quantity of asbestos-cement products in use and the localisation of former asbestos manufacturing plants was applied. Geostatistical analysis shows that strong spatial clustering of MM incidence (referring to the general population as well as females and males separately) during the period 1999-2013 in the administrative units of Poland (provinces and counties). Incidence hotspots were found to be concentrated primarily in southern Poland but also seen in the county of Szczecin, which stands out in local autocorrelation analysis in north-western Poland. High incidence rates were discovered, in particular with reference to counties around former plants manufacturing asbestos-containing products, mainly asbestos-cement manufacturers. The highest frequency of MM incidence rate was found in within a 55 km radius of plants in or near the towns Trzebinia, Ogrodzieniec and Szczucin in the South, where asbestos-cement products had been manufactured for close to 40 years. Areas with significantly high incidence rates were also discovered in the provinces of Śląskie, Małopolskie and Świętokrzyskie in southern Poland.
Effects of socio-economic and environmental factors on the spatial heterogeneity of dengue fever investigated at a fine scale

Published: November 2018

The spatial pattern of dengue fever cases is the result of complex interactions between the virus, the host and the vector, which may be affected by environmental conditions. The largest outbreak of dengue fever in Guangzhou city, China occurred in 2014 with case numbers 2.7 times the number of cumulative cases since 1978 and a significantly non-random spatial distribution. Selecting Guangzhou City as the study area, we used scan statistics to analyze the spatial heterogeneity of dengue fever and a generalized additive model to evaluate and examine the effects of socio-economic and environmental factors on spatial heterogeneity at a fine scale. The study found that the spatial distribution of dengue fever is highly heterogeneous and various factors differ in relative importance. The junction of the central districts of Guangzhou is a high-risk area with the urban village and urban-rural fringe zone formed by urbanization as important regional factors. The low gross domestic product per capita, the high population density, the high road density were perceived as risk factors. The Asian subtropical coastal area together with the socioeconomic and environmental factors were found to be the key drivers at the fine scale explaining the high spatial heterogeneity of dengue fever in Guangzhou City.

Authors: Lencioni Valeria , Cranston Peter S. , Makarchenko Eugenyi
Published: November 2018

This special issue provides an overview of recent advances in the study of chironomids (Diptera chironomidae), as an outcome of the 20th International Symposium on Chironomidae held in Trento (Italy), in July 2017. it includes 27 selected papers, representative of the six topics of the symposium: genetics and cytogenetics, taxonomy and systematics, autecology and physiology, toxicology and adaptive biology, ecology and biomonitoring, palaeolimnology. Most papers emphasise the value of chironomids in the monitoring programmes, mainly on Europe and case histories from South America and Africa. however, as our title indicates, the reported contemporary studies represent a range from the genetic through the autecological to the ecosystem scale. the aim of the volume is to give new insights on ecology and biology of non-biting midges, the freshwater insect family that comprises the highest number of species in the world, in both lentic and lotic habitats.

Canadian west coast earthquakes, 1952
Authors: Milne W G
Published: November 2018

Local earthquakes recorded on the seismographs at Victoria, Alberni and Horseshoe Bay, British Columbia are tabulated, continuing a listing begun in 1951. Those twelve earthquakes which were felt are discussed separately. Epicentres are plotted on two maps, the
first showing 1952 epicentres on a map of southern British Columbia, the second showing epicentres for both 1951 and 1952 shocks on a map of southern Vancouver Island. While it is yet too early to draw definite conclusions there appears to be a tendency for the epicentres to lie along definite
lines, some of which coincide with known faults.
