Technico-economic modelling of maintenance cost for hydroelectric turbine runners
Authors: Lamothe Thibaud , Blain Michel , Gagnon Martin , Lonchampt Jérôme , Tahan Antoine 
Published: September 2018

Large utilities need to optimize the investment made to maintain their assets. For a utility like Hydro-Québec (37 GW) an important part of those investments are made to maintain their hydroelectric facilities. To minimize the maintenance cost, technico-economic model enabling the propagation of uncertainty associated with the degradation processes of a given component seems essential. Therefore, for Francis hydroelectric turbine runners, we developed two technico-economic models: one for crack propagation and one for cavitation. Since these are the main degradation mechanisms leading to failure of Francis runners, they enable us to study the effect of maintenance strategies on the maintenance cost of these components. The model has been created using VME, an asset management software developed by EDF R&amp;D (Électricité de France). VME uses Monte-Carlo simulations to generate stochastic failure dates and obtains probabilistic indicators of the net present value of a given management strategy. We will use a study case based on a Hydro-Québec (Québec, Canada) facility to illustrate the importance of the proper assessment of current and expected long-term reliability on maintenance cost.The paper will be structured as follows. First, an overview of the modelling strategy will be presented. Then, we will have a closer look on how VME, the tool used for Monte-Carlo simulations, derive its results. Finally, we will present a study case and discuss the results obtained in terms of the sensitivity to the reliability assessment uncertainties.

Bell pepper fruits fetches higher premium during early winter or late winter as off-season crops. An experiment was conducted during late winter (February to June) of 2013 at Uttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Pundibari, West Bengal, India to compare the performance of bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) in open field and agro shade net under different transplanting dates and pruning level which was laid out in split split plot design with 3 replications. The results revealed that agro shade net cultivation of bell pepper emerged as best in terms of highest plant height (52.42 cm), and higher number of fruit (11.18 plant-1). The interaction effect combining shade net cultivation with 1st February planting date coupled with 3 shoot pruning proved superiority with respect to growth and yield characters of bell pepper and resulted in many fold improvement in the form of higher fruit number (16.21 plant-1), individual fruit weight (107.54 g) and maximum fruit yield (1743.21 g plant-1).
A study on sanitation, hygiene practices and food safety knowledge among food vendors in different sectors of Chandigarh, India
Authors: Thakur Aradhana Thakur , Singh Uttara 
Published: September 2018

The present study were carried out to assess the hygiene practices and food safety among street food vendors in the city of Chandigarh. It includes 100 samples of vendors. Fifty vendors were mobile and other 50 was fixed vendors. A self planned questionnaire was used for data collection for the vendors. The questionnaire included questions about demographic information, hygiene practices and food safety. Thirty eight percent of vendors used stalls, but did not uphold their stalls well. Eighty-three per cent of the vendors had thrown garbage in the open vessel and 14.0% used dustbin for dispose garbage. Personal hygiene was also observed which indicated that the vendors never wear the head covers, handled food with bare hand and they did not wear overcoats/aprons as well. Street food vendors were not aware of hygienic and sanitary practice.

Published: September 2018

AbstractIn recent years, the aspect of hygiene has become increasingly important in all areas of daily life. Especially in the areas of gastronomy, nursing homes, kindergartens and hospitals, the hygiene aspect is of particular importance. This study deals with the examination of the hygienic performance of commercial dishwashers with a water replacement system (fresh water dishwashers) using Micrococcus luteus DSM 1790 and the carrier material oat flakes as test soil. After rinsing, the soil is detached from the test items using an elution solution. Furthermore, the sump and the back and side walls of the commercial fresh water dishwasher were examined by contact plates to obtain the microbial count. This approach has been tested for functionality in a series of empirical experiments. In addition, the influence of various commercial detergents on results was examined. It was found that the newly developed method emphasizes the difference between the tested programs. Furthermore, it was found that using a program with longer holding times led to a higher germ reduction in the upper basket than in the lower basket.

Published: September 2018

Keamanan dan kenyamanan merupakan hal yang perlu mendapat perhatian serius dalam membangun sebuah rumah. Sering terjadi kasus ambruknya rumah yang diakibatkan karena tidak kuatnya struktur rumah. Pemilihan material penyusun dinding menjadi penting diperhatikan karena penurunan struktur pondasi juga diakibatkan beratnya beban dinding. Terutama bangunan rumah pada daerah rawa atau tanah lunak. Bata ringan menjadi bahan baku alternatif dalam pekerjaan pasangan dinding. Perbedaan bentuk, ukuran dan berat pada bata merah dan bata ringan mempengaruhi beban yang ditanggung oleh elemen struktur bangunan seperti balok, kolom dan pondasi. Penelitian ini menganalisis pengaruh material dinding berupa bata merah dan bata ringan terhadap dimensi struktur bawah/pondasi dan harga untuk rumah tipe 54.
Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif dan komparatif. Metode deskriptif digunakan untuk mendeskripsikan bagaimana pengaruh material bata merah dan bata ringan terhadap dimensi struktur pondasi. Sedangkan metode komparatif digunakan untuk membandingkan hasil perhitungan harga rumah tipe 54 antara material dinding berupa bata merah dan bata ringan.
Berdasarkan analisis dan perhitungan, pondasi rumah yang pasangan dindingnya menggunakan material bata ringan dimensinya lebih kecil dan harga rumahnya lebih murah dibanding menggunakan material bata merah. Pada penggunaan bata merah harga bangunan rumah Rp 350.964.275. Sedangkan pada penggunaan bata ringan harga bangunan rumah
Rp 304.350.739. Kesimpulannya penggunaan material bata ringan menjadikan harga bangunan rumah lebih murah Rp 46.613,536 (13,28 %) dibanding menggunakan material bata merah

Abstract
The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping (OCCAM) survey aims to produce a comprehensive, uniform, infrared-based spectroscopic data set for hundreds of open clusters, and to constrain key Galactic dynamical and chemical parameters from this sample. This second contribution from the OCCAM survey presents analysis of 259 member stars with [Fe/H] determinations in 19 open clusters, using Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 14 (SDSS/DR14) data from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment and ESA Gaia. This analysis, which includes clusters with R
GC ranging from 7 to 13 kpc, measures an [Fe/H] gradient of −0.061 ± 0.004 dex kpc−1. We also confirm evidence of a significant positive gradient in the α-elements ([O/Fe], [Mg/Fe], and [Si/Fe]) and present evidence for a significant negative gradient in iron-peak elements ([Mn/Fe] and [Ni/Fe]).
Pour un enseignement explicite de la lecture interprétative… Oui, mais comment ?
Authors: Tailhandier Séverine 
Published: September 2018

L’enseignement de la littérature à l’école se caractérise aujourd’hui par des tensions entre l’évolution d’enjeux inscrits dans les programmes, en partie influencés par les apports de la recherche en lecture littéraire, et les pratiques de lecture effectives. On peut alors se demander si la compréhension des enjeux actuels liés à cet enseignement n’est pas une possible cause de ces constats. Une démarche d’apprentissage, nommée ISIS , est ainsi actuellement proposée à des enseignants de cycles 3, 4 et de FLS, dans le cadre d’une formation expérimentale, afin d’accompagner l’appropriation de ces enjeux dans leurs pratiques de lecture. L’une des spécificités de la démarche réside dans la mise en évidence des apports de stratégies de lecture interprétatives et du lien motivé entre ces différentes stratégies de lecture et la représentation mentale de l’élève. Des témoignages d’enseignants permettront d’apprécier certains des impacts de cet enseignement de la littérature en interrogeant notamment la pertinence de l’apprentissage de la lecture interprétative avec des publics d’élèves lecteurs de plus en plus hétérogènes.
Les programmes de français et l’enseignement de la littérature : ruptures et continuités depuis 1995
Authors: Clément Pierre 
Published: September 2018

L’article prend appui sur un ensemble de recherches menées au sujet des transformations du curriculum formel, c’est-à-dire la définition officielle des contenus d’enseignement, arrêtée dans les programmes, ainsi que les modalités de leur organisation et de leur articulation. À partir, notamment, d’un travail sur de nombreux fonds d’archives (syndicales, administratives, politiques, etc.) et d’entretiens approfondis avec les principaux acteurs impliqués dans l’élaboration des réformes des programmes, l’étude montre comment, depuis les années 1980, ont été définis de nouveaux dispositifs d’élaboration des programmes scolaires et comment a peu à peu émergé une nouvelle conception des contenus d’enseignement dont les mots d’ordre sont : Socle commun, compétences et approche curriculaire. La particularité de ce nouveau paradigme est qu’il a vocation à s’appliquer à l’ensemble des disciplines et des niveaux d’enseignement, de la maternelle à la fin du lycée. Cependant ses traductions s’avèrent variables selon les disciplines, car celles-ci exercent un effet de réfraction plus ou moins fort sur ces logiques globales, notamment dans le cas particulier des programmes de français et de lettres depuis 1995.
Penser la progression curriculaire d’une thématique « vivre en société ; participer à la société »
Authors: Di Rosa Geneviève , Lewi Olivia 
Published: September 2018

L’article analyse une thématique du cycle 4 « vivre en société » qui va de la classe de Cinquième à celle de Troisième et permet de travailler l’argumentation. Il vise ainsi à expliciter les logiques sous-jacentes aux choix des corpus afférents et aux variantes des questionnements déclinant l’entrée thématique par niveau de classe. L’intitulé « vivre en société » est une incitation à appréhender la dimension formative de la littérature qui ne serait pas simple reflet de la société mais lieu d’aptitude au vivre ensemble. Plus précisément, la mise au jour d’un enseignement de l’argumentation et des valeurs conduit à proposer une mise en œuvre de la thématique fondée sur des scènes de procès au théâtre et au cinéma.
Preferred Water Resource Information Sources and Learning Opportunities in the Pacific Northwest
Authors: Mahler Robert L. 
Published: September 2018

Core Ideas
This study evaluated how public information sources for water resource information have changed between 2002 and 2017.
Three identical survey questions assessed public information sources in 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017.
The Internet was the information source with the greatest increase in public use over this 15‐year period, increasing from 14.8% in 2002 to 63.0% in 2017.
Both formal education level and age of respondents affected their preferred information source choice.
The American public is overwhelmed by the amount of water resource information that they are exposed to every day. The purpose of this 15‐year study was to determine the information sources that are most widely used by the public and relate this information to water educators. A mail‐based survey process assessed: (1) public‐preferred water information sources, (2) public‐preferred learning opportunities, and (3) events that cause people to change their minds about a water issue. The same survey process was conducted in 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017 in the four Pacific Northwest states. All four surveys received a response exceeding 50%, resulting in a sampling error of less than 5%. In 2002 newspapers, television, and environmental agencies were the major water information sources used by the public. Only 14.8% of survey respondents considered the Internet a major water information source in 2002; however, by 2017 over 60% of adults were using the Internet for water information. The demographic factors of age and education level affected the usage of information sources. Visiting a website was not considered an important learning opportunity in 2002 (11.5%); however, by 2017 over 80% of the public considered visiting a website as their best learning opportunity for water information. Visiting websites also eclipsed reading printed fact sheets as the most popular learning opportunity by 2017. This study is important because it shows educators the best way to reach the public in the Pacific Northwest with water resource information.
Synthetic ozone deposition and stomatal uptake at flux tower sites

Published: September 2018

Abstract. We develop and evaluate a method to estimate O3
deposition and stomatal O3 uptake across networks of eddy
covariance flux tower sites where O3 concentrations and
O3 fluxes have not been measured. The method combines standard
micrometeorological flux measurements, which constrain O3
deposition velocity and stomatal conductance, with a gridded dataset of
observed surface O3 concentrations. Measurement errors are
propagated through all calculations to quantify O3 flux
uncertainties. We evaluate the method at three sites with O3 flux
measurements: Harvard Forest, Blodgett Forest, and Hyytiälä Forest.
The method reproduces 83 % or more of the variability in daily stomatal
uptake at these sites with modest mean bias (21 % or less). At least
95 % of daily average values agree with measurements within a factor of 2
and, according to the error analysis, the residual differences from measured
O3 fluxes are consistent with the uncertainty in the
underlying measurements. The product, called synthetic O3 flux or SynFlux, includes 43
FLUXNET sites in the United States and 60 sites in Europe, totaling 926 site
years of data. This dataset, which is now public, dramatically expands the
number and types of sites where O3 fluxes can be used for ecosystem
impact studies and evaluation of air quality and climate models. Across these
sites, the mean stomatal conductance and O3 deposition velocity is
0.03–1.0 cm s−1. The stomatal O3 flux during the growing
season (typically April–September) is 0.5–11.0 nmol
O3 m−2 s−1 with a mean of 4.5 nmol
O3 m−2 s−1 and the largest fluxes generally occur where
stomatal conductance is high, rather than where O3 concentrations
are high. The conductance differences across sites can be explained by
atmospheric humidity, soil moisture, vegetation type, irrigation, and land
management. These stomatal fluxes suggest that ambient O3 degrades
biomass production and CO2 sequestration by 20 %–24 % at
crop sites, 6 %–29 % at deciduous broadleaf forests, and
4 %–20 % at evergreen needleleaf forests in the United States and
Europe.
Understanding How Public Finances Are Spent Under Devolved System of Government: A Case of Constituency Development Funded Projects in Kasipul Constituency, Kenya
Authors: Andhoga Walter Otieno , Mose George N. , Mavole Johnson N. 
Published: September 2018

Devolved system of government in Kenya was introduced in 2010, when a new constitution was promulgated. This drastically changed the way that public funds are allocated, spent and monitored by oversight institutions. Changes in governance structures envisaged devolution as a panacea that would ensure good governance, equity and transparency in the utilization of finances. The study used a case study of a devolved development fund that is implemented by the national government, the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) in Kasipul constituency, Homa-bay County to understand public finance management under devolved system of government. The study employed mixed methods research design involving both quantitative and qualitative data. A total of 400 respondents were sampled using multi staged proportionate random sampling techniques involving project beneficiaries, project managers, local governmental officials and the National Government Constituency Development Fund committee members. Data was collected using questionnaires, focus group discussions and interview guides. Quantitative data was analyzed using statistical techniques with the help of STATA version 14. The study found that project financing had a statistically significant and positive effect on the effective management of NG-CDF funded projects. The estimated coefficient of project financing in the model was found to be 1.436 with a statistically significant. It’s therefore recommended that existing policies should be strengthened and a framework to improve the effectiveness of project management by increasing the levels of project financing. The existing financing model should be reformed to avoid the negative influence on the implementation of beneficiary projects to avoid systematic fund transfer delays.
