Matériaux terre crue-granulats végétaux: prédiction de la conductivité thermique par modélisation multi-échelle
Creators: name: Latapie, Séverine
Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2024

description: La terre crue est un matériau de construction exemplaire sur bien des aspects : disponibilité, recyclabilité, faible impact environnemental, performances mécaniques et hydriques reconnues. L’incorporation de granulats végétaux permet d’améliorer les performances thermiques. Cependant la diversité des co-produits agricoles ajoutée à celle des sols utilisés en tant que matrice liante conduit à des performances très variables selon les formulations et la nature des constituants. L’homogénéisation par champs moyens (schéma de Mori Tanaka) est ici proposée et évaluée en tant qu’outil de prédiction de la conductivité thermique de ces matériaux. S’appuyant sur une détermination adéquate des données d’entrée et un modèle inspiré de la structure du matériau, cette étude valide des modèles de prédiction en s’appuyant sur plusieurs campagnes expérimentales de la littérature. Ces travaux ouvrent la voie vers la possibilité d’une optimisation de la conductivité thermique d’un matériau terre-crue incorporant des granulats végétaux avant même l’étape de fabrication

description: Le comportement mécanique d’éléments de structure hybrides acier-bois est étudié par une approche couplant essais à échelle réelle et modélisation numérique. Les éléments considérés sont constitués de poutrelles métalliques IPE 270 assemblées à des membrures en bois lamellé-collé. Deux configurations sont étudiées : une configuration partiellement encapsulée (les membrures en bois sont insérées entre les semelles du profilé métallique) et une configuration totalement encapsulée (le bois recouvre la totalité du profilé). Les poutres ainsi assemblées sont testées en flexion 4 points. Des essais sont également réalisés sur les profilés métalliques et les membrures en bois isolés afin d’analyser la contribution respective de chaque matériau dans le comportement de l’élément mixte. L’analyse des résultats d’essais permet de mettre en évidence un effet « composite » non anticipé, qui se traduit par une capacité résistante de la poutre mixte supérieure à la somme de celles de ses composants. Un modèle numérique des éléments testés est réalisé. Les résultats obtenus sont comparés aux données expérimentales mais ne permettent pas de reproduire l’effet composite observé. Le modèle est alors utilisé pour effectuer une analyse de sensibilité des paramètres du modèle afin de mieux comprendre les phénomènes à l’origine de ce gain de résistance.

description: Abstract:
The rapid increase in the temperature of the Earth's atmosphere, caused by man-made factors, is one of the most serious threats of our time. The most important measure to mitigate this threat is to reduce carbon emissions through an energy transition, i.e. switching from fossil fuel energy sources to renewable energy sources that produce very limited, if not zero, carbon emissions. One such source of clean energy is thermoelectric generators that can directly convert thermal energy into electrical energy. In this presentation, we discuss the production process of a new ionic thermoelectric material - nanowood. We describe the technology of nanowood production, as well as its practical use in ionic thermoelectric supercapacitors. We show that, due to the nanoconfinement effect, nanowood-based supercapacitors allow generating thermoelectric voltages that are an order of magnitude higher than those for devices based on bulk electrolytes.

description: Strong gravitationally lensed quasars provide powerful means to study galaxy evolution and cosmology. Current and upcoming imaging surveys will contain thousands of new lensed quasars, augmenting the existing sample by at least two orders of magnitude. To find such lens systems, we built a robot, CHITAH, that hunts for lensed quasars by modeling the configuration of the multiple quasar images. Specifically, given an image of an object that might be a lensed quasar, CHITAH first disentangles the light from the supposed lens galaxy and the light from the multiple quasar images based on color information. A simple rule is designed to categorize the given object as a potential four-image (quad) or two-image (double) lensed quasar system. The configuration of the identified quasar images is subsequently modeled to classify whether the object is a lensed quasar system. We test the performance of CHITAH using simulated lens systems based on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey. For bright quads with large image separations (with Einstein radius $r_{\rm ein}>1.1"$) simulated using Gaussian point-spread functions, a high true-positive rate (TPR) of $\sim$90% and a low false-positive rate of $\sim$$3\%$ show that this is a promising approach to search for new lens systems. We obtain high TPR for lens systems with $r_{\rm ein}\gtrsim0.5"$, so the performance of CHITAH is set by the seeing. We further feed a known gravitational lens system, COSMOS 5921$+$0638, to CHITAH, and demonstrate that CHITAH is able to classify this real gravitational lens system successfully. Our newly built CHITAH is omnivorous and can hunt in any ground-based imaging surveys.

description: Background: Higher body weight individuals are frequently the targets of negative weight-based attitudes, at times resulting in discrimination. Workplace discrimination harms the well-being of larger individuals by increasing their stress levels and reducing their chances of being hired or promoted. Thus, understanding why people hold these negative attitudes is important. Further, little is known about the role personality characteristics (e.g., essentialist thinking) play in the formation of these attitudes. The aim of this study then was to examine how body weight affects competence-based judgements of female employees, and furthermore, to determine whether an individual’s personality features influence these judgements.Methods: College students (N = 161) from a northeastern university were recruited to participate in this study, and the study took place entirely online. Participants were mostly female (60.9%), the average age was 20.64 years (SD = 3.29), and the average BMI was 25.40 (SD = 5.06). Our sample was ethnically diverse, with participants identifying as White (45.3%), Black (29.8%), Hispanic (18.0%), Asian (9.3%), and other (3.7%). Participants responded to twelve images of three identically dressed women of varying body sizes. Participants were asked to rate each image on a 6-item global competence measure (Howelett et al., 2015), completed personality and bias measures, and were asked what they believed the study was about. Results: Most participants (82%) reported believing the study was about weight/physical appearance and how that influenced judgments of work ability or competence. Regardless of their understanding of the purpose of the study, participants still assigned significantly lower competence ratings when the target female was ‘obese’ (M = 4.30, SD = 1.15) than ‘overweight’ (M = 4.81, SD = 0.96) or ‘normal weight’ (M = 4.90, SD = 1.00; F(2, 159) = 26.53, p < .001, η2 = .14). Using Repeated Measures ANCOVAs, we found that Essentialist Entitativity beliefs had a small but not significant effect on competence ratings (F(2, 159) = 2.26, p = .108, η2 = .02), and Need for Cognitive Closure had a small significant effect (F(2,159) = 3.88, p = .022, η2 = .02).Discussion: These findings are consistent with past research revealing a link between ratings of competence and body size. Specifically, individuals with larger body sizes were deemed to be less competent than individuals with smaller body sizes.

These include significant changes in the mean number of transmissions and full counting statistics, as well as "bunching" and "anti-bunching" effects in the all-particles transmission channel. With several resonances involved, pseudo-resonant driving of the two-level system in the barrier, may result in sharp enhancement of scattering probabilities for certain values of temporal delay between the particles.

description: Afin de réduire l’impact carbone des constructions, l’utilisation de bétons bas carbone est de plus en plus fréquente. Ces bétons ont souvent une montée en résistance plus lente ce qui conduit à des délais de décoffrage plus longs. Trois formules de béton ayant un poids carbone différents sont utilisées pour la modélisation d’un voile de bâtiment. L’analyse maturométrique des courbes de dégagement de chaleur dans les voiles est utilisée pour estimer le temps de décoffrage de chaque voile. Les résultats montrent que cette technique permet d’optimiser les délais de réalisation et diminuer l’inconvénient lié à une montée en résistance plus lente des bétons bas carbone.

description: We show that topological transitions in electronic spin transport are feasible by a controlled manipulation of spin-guiding fields. The transitions are determined by the topology of the fields texture through an effective Berry phase (related to the winding parity of spin modes around poles in the Bloch sphere), irrespective of the actual complexity of the nonadiabatic spin dynamics. This manifests as a distinct dislocation of the interference pattern in the quantum conductance of mesoscopic loops. The phenomenon is robust against disorder, and can be experimentally exploited to determine the magnitude of inner spin-orbit fields.

description: Digital divide is defined as the gap between underserved communities that have poor or limited internet access and the communities that have relatively better access to broadband internet (25 megabits per second download/3 megabits per second upload speeds). While the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) claims that broadband internet is not available to 24.7 million people in the United States, data from Microsoft indicates that 162.8 million people (almost half of the population of the United States) do not use internet at broadband speeds (Hegle and Wilding, 2019). Broadband internet is still out of reach for many communities in Tennessee, with only 53.4 percent of residents adopting broadband in 2019 (FCC, 2019). With the shift to digital technology and widespread applications, access to broadband internet has become critical for economic development, specifically for education, work force, health care and recreation. Impacts of the digital divide have been broadly highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Where possible, employees have shifted to working at home. Similarly, K-12 schools, colleges and universities are offering classes online, and many residents are increasingly choosing online methods to order retail goods and services. Additionally, people need broadband internet to access up-to-date health care, prescriptions and health services information about COVID-19 from news and media outlets, as well as the state and federal government. The purpose of this publication is to inform Extension agents, local government leaders and economic development professionals about the digital divide, the relative measures of socioeconomic status and broadband infrastructure across Tennessee. This publication is to be used in conjunction with the county digital divide index profiles available at https://utextensionced.tennessee.edu/digital-divide-index/.

description: Background: ASD-related services can improve outcomes for children, but less is known about service outside of school settings during preschool age. We aimed to describe amount and category of community-based service use among 3–5-year-old children with ASD and examine differences by health insurance. Methods: We used cross-sectional data on 792 children with ASD diagnoses in the Study to Explore Early Development, a community-based study of neurodevelopment with enrollment between 2012-2016. Mothers reported current child service use and insurance status at study entry. We used log-Poisson and logistic regression to compare service use by insurance group. Results: Nearly 40% of children were not receiving community-based services at study entry. Children with public insurance had fewer total services than children with private or both insurances. After adjustment for sociodemographic confounders, insurance status was not associated with amount of different categories of community-based services. However, children with public insurance alone were least likely to receive community-based behavioral therapy and most likely to receive psychotropic medication compared to other insurances. Conclusion: Many preschool-aged children do not receive community-based services, with receipt of some service types associated with insurance type. Increasing access and availability for evidence-based service, especially for beneficiaries of public insurance, may improve service use and outcomes.

description: Le béton de chanvre est un matériau isolant utilisé depuis plus de 35 ans et avec une durée de vie estimée entre 50 et 100 ans. Malgré l’absence de gisement en déconstruction, il est essentiel d’anticiper la fin de vie de ces produits pour améliorer sa FDES et mieux écoconcevoir les formulations à venir. L’objectif du projet ValoBBio est d’apporter de premiers éléments autour des possibilités de déconstruction, de tri et de traitement, mais aussi autour de caractérisations, d’étude de faisabilité technique et des impacts environnementaux associés aux différents scénarios testés.


À partir de deux cas d’école avec des liants et des systèmes constructifs différents, l’étude présentée a testé des scénarios de recyclage, de valorisations organiques et énergétiques. Il apparait que des scénarios comme le recyclage ou la méthanisation sont prometteurs, quand la valorisation énergétique ou le compostage serait à écarter. D’autres pistes sont à l’étude, tout comme la mesure de l’impact environnemental de ces scénarios.

description: The observed isospin-symmetry breaking in light nuclei are caused not only by the Coulomb interaction but by the isovector one and two body plus isotensor two body nuclear interactions as well. Spectral distribution theory which treats nuclear spectroscopy and other structural properties in a statistical framework was earlier applied to isospin conserving Hamiltonians only. In this paper we extend that to include the nuclear interactions non-scalar in isospin and work out examples in sd shell to calculate the linear term in the isobaric mass-multiplet equation originating from these non-scalar parts.

description: OCR-VQGAN: Taming Text-within-Image Generation Synthetic image generation has recently experienced significant improvements in domains such as natural image or art generation. However, the problem of figure and diagram generation remains unexplored. A challenging aspect of generating figures and diagrams is effectively rendering readable texts within the images. To alleviate this problem, we present OCR-VQGAN, an image encoder, and decoder that leverages OCR pre-trained features to optimize a text perceptual loss, encouraging the architecture to preserve high-fidelity text and diagram structure. Here we provide the pre-trained model using Paper2Fig100k dataset, which performs a downsampling of factor f=16, using a discrete codebook of 16384 and vectors of dimension 256. Refer to github.com/joanrod/ocr-vqgan/ to see implementation and details. Our paper @WACV2023 presents how we design an OCR perceptual loss to be used in the VQGAN framework (OCR-VQGAN). In the paper, we also define the proposed Paper2Fig100k dataset.

description: Background: Many pregnant women in the United States have suboptimal vitamin D, but the impact on infant development is unclear. Moreover, no pregnancy-specific vitamin D recommendations have been widely accepted. Aims: Given the ubiquitous expression of vitamin D receptors in the brain, we investigated the association between early prenatal plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations and children’s social and emotional development in the Newborn Epigenetic Study, a prospective study of pregnancies from 2009 to 2011 in Durham, North Carolina. Methods: We measured 25(OH)D concentrations in first or second trimester plasma samples and categorized 25(OH)D concentrations into quartiles. Covariates were derived from maternal questionnaires. Mothers completed the Infant Toddler Social-Emotional Development Assessment when children were 12–24 months of age. We used multivariable linear regression to evaluate associations between 25(OH)D and specific behavior scores, adjusted for season of blood draw, maternal age, education, parity, smoking, marital status, prepregnancy BMI, and infant gender. We investigated effect-measure modification by race/ethnicity. Results: Of the 218 mother–infant pairs with complete data, Black mothers had much lower 25(OH)D concentrations as compared to White and Hispanic mothers. After adjustment, lower prenatal 25(OH)D was associated with slightly higher (less favorable) Internalizing scores among White children, but lower (more favorable) Internalizing scores among Black and Hispanic children. Lower prenatal 25(OH)D also appears to be associated with higher (less favorable) dysregulation scores, though only among White and Hispanic children. Conclusions: Though imprecise, preliminary results warrant further investigation regarding a role for prenatal vitamin D on children’s early social and emotional development.

description: In this letter, we investigate the problem of dynamic spectrum access for small cell networks, using a graphical game approach. Compared with existing studies, we take the features of different cell loads and local interference relationship into account. It is proved that the formulated spectrum access game is an exact potential game with the aggregate interference level as the potential function, and Nash equilibrium (NE) of the game corresponds to the global or local optima of the original optimization problem. A lower bound of the achievable aggregate interference level is rigorously derived. Finally, we propose an autonomous best response learning algorithm to converge towards its NE. It is shown that the proposed game-theoretic solution converges rapidly and its achievable performance is close to the optimum solution.

description: Mechanical forces control development in plants and animals, acting as cues in pattern formation and as the driving force of morphogenesis. In mammalian cells, molecular assemblies residing at the interface of the cell membrane and the extracellular matrix play an important role in perceiving and transmitting external mechanical signals to trigger physiological responses. Similar processes occur in plants, but there is little understanding of the molecular mechanisms and their genetic basis. Here, we show that the number and movement directions of cellulose synthase complexes (CSCs) at the plasma membrane vary during initial stages of development in the cotyledon epidermis of Arabidopsis, closely mirroring the microtubule organization. Uncoupling microtubules and CSCs resulted in enhanced microtubule co-alignment as caused by mechanical stimuli driven either by cell shape or by tissue-scale physical perturbations. Furthermore, micromechanical perturbation resulted in depletion of CSCs from the plasma membrane, suggesting a possible link between cellulose synthase removal from the plasma membrane and microtubule response to mechanical stimuli. Taken together, our results suggest that the interaction of cellulose synthase with cortical microtubules forms a physical continuum between the cell wall, plasma membrane and the cytoskeleton that modulates the mechano-response of the cytoskeleton.

description: Vegetal wools are performant sustainable insulation materials. However, their flammability can restrict their application, and therefore a fireproof treatment, that is environmentally friendly to respect their bio-based nature, needs to be done. This study aims to evaluate the impact of two phosphorus-based fireproof treatment methods, pulverization and impregnation, on the density and acoustic properties of hemp fiber stacks. Pulverized fibers had a higher residue amount, in the thermogravimetric analysis, which indicates a higher protection from the char layer. From the acoustic perspective, the treated fibers presented a lower sound absorption than the reference. The density can be lowered after the treatment, but no correlation with the treatment method or condition was observed.

description: The celebrated van der Waals model describes simple fluids in the thermodynamic limit and predicts the existence of a critical point associated to the gas-liquid phase transition. However the behaviour of critical isotherms according to the equation of state, where a gas-liquid phase transition occurs, significantly departs from experimental observations. The correct critical isotherms are heuristically re-established via the Maxwell equal areas rule. A long standing open problem in mean field theory is concerned with the analytic description of van der Waals isotherms for a finite size system that is consistent, in the thermodynamic limit, with the Maxwell prescription. Inspired by the theory of nonlinear conservation laws, we propose a novel mean field approach, based on statistical mechanics, that allows to calculate the van der Waals partition function for a system of large but finite number of particles $N$. Our partition function naturally extends to the whole space of thermodynamic variables, reproduces, in the thermodynamic limit $N\to \infty$, the classical results outside the critical region and automatically encodes Maxwell's prescription. We show that isothermal curves evolve in the space of thermodynamic variables like nonlinear breaking waves and the criticality is explained as the mechanism of formation of a classical hydrodynamic shock.

Martin Fleischmann - Bibliography from MARTIN FLEISCHMANN. 29 March 1927 — 3 August 2012

description: Martin Fleischmann was an electrochemist whose work revolutionized the subject. He was a consummate mathematician and inspired inventor of new experimental methods. His work led to the development of several important techniques in the field: ground-breaking studies of electrocrystallization stemming from the development of high-speed potentiostats; the discovery of the surface-enhanced Raman effect; the development of microelectrodes; the study of stochastic effects as a means to derive basic information about electrochemical reactions; and the systematic development of concepts of electrochemical engineering. But for many, his name is indelibly associated with the ‘cold fusion’ episode that took place at the end of his career in the late 1980s. Regarded by some as a blemish on Fleischmann's highly distinguished life in science, cold fusion continues even today to excite debate and controversy. Nevertheless, he is remembered with esteem and affection by his many colleagues and leaves a powerful legacy in his discipline.

description: We examined associations between child body mass index at 2–5 years and maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index, gestational weight gain, and rapid weight gain during infancy in children with autism spectrum disorder, developmental delays, or population controls. The Study to Explore Early Development is a multi-site case–control study of children, aged 2–5 years, classified as autism spectrum disorder (n = 668), developmental delays (n = 914), or population controls (n = 884). Maternal gestational weight gain was compared to the Institute of Medicine recommendations. Rapid weight gain was a change in weight-for-age z-scores from birth to 6 months > 0.67 standard deviations. After adjusting for case status, mothers with pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity were 2.38 times (95% confidence interval: 1.96–2.90) more likely, and mothers who exceeded gestational weight gain recommendations were 1.48 times (95% confidence interval: 1.17–1.87) more likely, to have an overweight/obese child than other mothers (P < 0.001). Children with autism spectrum disorder showed the highest frequency of rapid weight gain (44%) and were 3.47 times (95% confidence interval: 1.85–6.51) more likely to be overweight/obese as children with autism spectrum disorder without rapid weight gain (P < 0.001). Helping mothers achieve a healthy pre-pregnancy body mass index and gestational weight gain represent important targets for all children. Healthy infant growth patterns carry special importance for children at increased risk for an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis.
Percolation and jamming transitions in particulate systems with and without cohesion

description: We consider percolation and jamming transitions for particulate systems exposed to compression. For the systems built of particles interacting by purely repulsive forces in addition to friction and viscous damping, it is found that these transitions are influenced by a number of effects, and in particular by the compression rate. In a quasi-static limit, we find that for the considered type of interaction between the particles, percolation and jamming transitions coincide. For cohesive systems, however, or for any system exposed to even slow dynamics, the differences between the considered transitions are found and quantified.

description: Higher body-weight individuals are frequently stigmatized and face prejudice and discrimination.Additionally, experiences of weight stigmatization are associated with several negative consequences. However, less is known about effective means for reducing weight bias. One strategy that has shown success in other areas of prejudice reduction, yet is less tested for weight bias reduction, is intergroup contact. Other research has emphasized the importance of person-based factors (Social Dominance Orientation (SDO); Right Wing Authoritarianism (RWA); etc.) in the development of prejudice. Less is known, however, about the role these variables play in the formation of negative attitudes toward higher body weight individuals, or how these variables might influence attitude change in the contact context. Participants (N = 639) were recruited from a northeastern university, and the study was completed online. The sample was a majority female (75.1%) and the average age was 20.80 (sd = 4.81). As expected, SDO and RWA were both significantly positively correlated with weight bias (rs = 0.13-0.45). Additionally, positive contact was significantly negatively correlated with weight bias (rs = -0.32- -0.37) and negative contact was significantly positively correlated with weight bias (rs = 0.36-0.40). Also as expected, positive contact was more frequent (M = 4.73, sd = 1.31) than negative contact (M = 2.33, sd = 1.15). Finally, in a simultaneous regression predicting weight bias (R2 = .21, F (2, 637) = 85.88, p

description: Dans les structures mixtes, les connecteurs de cisaillement sont nécessaires pour assurer la collaboration mécanique entre la poutre en acier et la dalle en béton. Les connecteurs soudés à tête sont couramment utilisés. Les essais de cisaillement dits Push-out sont généralement réalisés pour déterminer la capacité de résistance, la ductilité et le mode de ruine de ces connecteurs. La présente étude s’intéresse à ce comportement en cisaillement et propose un modèle éléments finis 3D pour simuler l'essai Push-out des goujons soudés à tête. Le modèle est validé par comparaison avec des résultats d’essais existants [1]. Ce modèle permet d’obtenir les modes de ruine observés en considérant aussi bien la plastification des connecteurs que l’endommagement du béton. Le modèle validé est utilisé pour mener une étude paramétrique en faisant varier la résistance du béton et la limite d'élasticité des connecteurs pour analyser leurs effets sur le comportement des connecteurs de cisaillement conventionnels. Le modèle validé a pour objectif d’étudier et de proposer de nouvelles conceptions de connecteurs démontables permettant le démontage et le réemploi des éléments dans les structures mixtes.

description: The core of the UPSKILLS project is the production of learning content aimed at students in language- and linguistics-related fields (modern languages and cultures, translation, general linguistics, etc.) and lecturers who want to incorporate the developed content and/or add their own, into their teaching. The topics are selected in light of a comparative analysis of the current academic offer and the requirements the job market has for graduates in these areas, conducted under the UPSKILLS project. The main focus is on the knowledge and skills that are insufficiently covered in existing linguistics and language-related curricula but can open new job perspectives for students. The created learning content can be used as individual elements or as an integrated module. These guidelines are created to serve as:

Reference material for UPSKILLS project partners – the partners will consult the guidelines as they create the learning content in line with the project goals.

Teaching guides for those using the materials we create – those who wish to use our materials can gain insight into our approach and methodology

Learning content creation guides – for those who wish to create new materials based on the model we developed under UPSKILLS
Confronting Four Zero Neutrino Yukawa Textures with $N_2^{}$-dominated Leptogenesis
Creators: name: Zhang, Jue

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We consider a restricted Type-I seesaw scenario with four texture zeros in the neutrino Yukawa matrix, in the weak basis where both the charged-lepton Yukawa matrix and the Majorana mass matrix for right-handed neutrinos are diagonal and real. Inspired by grand unified theories, we further require the neutrino Yukawa matrix to exhibit a similar hierarchical pattern to that in the up-type quark Yukawa matrix. With such a hierarchy requirement, we find that leptogenesis, which would operate in a $N_2^{}$-dominated scenario with the asymmetry generated by the next-to-lightest right-handed neutrino $N_2^{}$, can greatly reduce the number of allowed textures, and disfavors the scenario that three light neutrinos are quasi-degenerate. Such a quasi-degenerate scenario of light neutrinos may soon be tested in upcoming neutrino experiments.
