description: The district of Cugno Case Vecchie is located about 3 km in the north-west of the modern town of Canicattini Bagni, in the province of Siracusa. This territory has been occupied from Prehistory to the present day because of the abundant presence of raw materials and water courses and its strategic location along the ancient Via Acrense. In Cugno Case Vecchie, in fact, is located a small necropolis of the Early Bronze Age, a second cemetery dating to the Late Bronze Age and a rocky settlement of Late antiquity and Medieval Age, populated in later times by shepherds and farmers. The purpose of this article is to present the first results of a survey conducted in September 2008 during which two tombs with pseudo-pillars and one tomb with pilasters dating XVIII century A.D. were found.
description: Situata a circa 3 km a nord-ovest del moderno centro abitato di Canicattini Bagni in provincia di Siracusa, la contrada Cugno Case Vecchie è stata occupata dall’uomo in maniera quasi ininterrotta dalla Preistoria sino ai nostri giorni per via dell’abbondante presenza di risorse, corsi d’acqua e grazie alla posizione strategica lungo l’antica Via Acrense. Nel Cugno Case Vecchie si trova, infatti, una piccola necropoli della fine del Bronzo Antico, una seconda necropoli databile al Tardo Bronzo e un insediamento rupestre di età tardoantica e medievale, molto frequentato anche in epoca posteriore da pastori e contadini. Lo scopo di questo articolo è quello di presentare per la prima volta i risultati di una ricognizione effettuata nel settembre 2008 nel corso della quale sono state individuate due tombe a finti pilastri e una tomba a pilastrini di epoca castellucciana.

description: The Neolithic necropolis of Birgusa has the largest number of “Domus de Janas” grave chambers among those found in the municipal area of Thiesi, in the province of Sassari. The necropolis is located at the southern edge of the Corraile plateau (480 m asl), the burial area is part of the dense settlement that characterized the north central area of Sardinia between the fifth and fourth mill. BC (Culture of San Michele Ozieri). The eight graves of the necropolis, plus a small natural cave, present characteristics similar to those of the main necropolis of the territory for both the architectural lines. Some tombs are characterized by their monumental and symbolic elements closely linked to the cult.
description: La necropoli neolitica di Birgusa è la più vasta per numero di tombe a domus de janas fra quelle presenti nel territorio comunale di Thiesi, in provincia di Sassari. Localizzata ai margini meridionali del pianoro di Corraile (480 m slm), l’area funeraria s’inserisce nella fitta maglia d’insediamenti che ha caratterizzato la Sardegna centro-settentrionale tra il V e IV secolo a.C. (Cultura di San Michele di Ozieri). Le otto tombe che la compongono, alle quali si aggiunge una piccola grotta naturale, presentano per le linee architettoniche caratteri simili a quelli delle principali necropoli del territorio. Alcune tombe si distinguono per la monumentalità e per la presenza di elementi simbolici strettamente legati al culto.

description: Within the field researches carried out on the Bronze age site of Solarolo, the University of Bologna has started a program of experimental archaeology including the cultivation of ancient cereals. The main aim stress on the reconstruction of ancient economic aspects an particularly the production of crops. The use of several kinds of cereals not modified by modern genetic transformations, similar to those found during the excavations in the Bronze Age site, allows to start a discussion on main topics concerning ancient cultivations during the Bronze Age, supported by methodological, technical and ethnoarchaeological parameters. The scientific method applied along the experimental activities, accompanied by computations of productivity, offers elements to verify the estimations recorded by classical sources.
description: Nell’ambito delle ricerche condotte nell’abitato dell’età del Bronzo di Solarolo dall’Università di Bologna (scavo stratigrafico e Laboratorio di Archeologia Sperimentale), è stata realizzata una sperimentazione di coltivazione dei cereali con lo scopo di approfondire le problematiche della gestione economica ed in particolare della produttività agricola antica. La coltivazione di sementi non modificate geneticamente, analoghe a quelle di età protostorica, permette di affrontare la discussione sui vari aspetti tecnici, metodologici e etnoarcheologici dell’agricoltura nell’età del Bronzo. Il procedimento scientifico adottato durante la sperimentazione, corredato di misurazioni sulla produttività agricola, mette a disposizione dati per la verifica di quanto noto dalle fonti classiche.

description: To evaluate the replantation surgery success along with the potential utility of residual blood existent in the amputated part in easier vascular localization and faster preparedness prior to main surgery in clean cut, crush and avulsion type Tamai zone I fingertip amputations. It's a retrospective study. A total of 37 patients who underwent replantation surgery due to Tamai zone I fingertip amputations were included. Data on patients demographics, ASA score, type of amputation, amputated digit, type of anesthesia, the help of redirecting the residual blood in the amputated part from the pulp towards the wound borders in defining vessel location prior to main surgery, duration of postoperative follow up and replantation outcome were recorded. The avulsion amputation (51.4%) was the most common type of amputation Average follow up was 13.5 months, and replantation outcome was successful in 64.9% of 37 cases and in 61.5% of 39 digits. The maneuver of redirecting the residual blood in the amputated part from the pulp towards the wound borders helped to define vessel location in 44% of cases, particularly in clean cut or crush fingertip amputations. In conclusion, our findings revealed successful outcome of replantation surgery in nearly two-thirds of Tamai zone I fingertip amputations with higher likelihood of failure in case of crush vs. avulsion and clear cut amputations.
Artificial neural networks in downscaling and projections of long term future precipitation and development of future intensity-duration-frequency curves
Creators: name: Kueh, Sze Miang
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This research presented a holistic approach for downscaling of precipitation in both space and time dimensions. Two novel neural network models were developed for spatial downscaling of climate variables and projection of future precipitation. A temporal downscaling method was then used to estimate intraday precipitation from the projected daily precipitation. This information has enabled estimation of future annual maxima precipitation quantiles to be made. As a result, the Intensity-Duration-Frequency curves of future precipitation were plotted. Outcomes of this research are beneficial for policy-makers, in terms of providing valuable input for mitigation and adaption strategies, along with better water resources management.

description: Mercury (Hg) is still a focus of environmental research, since its levels in fish frequently exceed the Environmental Quality Standard (EQS) of 20 Ţg/kg for biota defined by the European Water Framework Directive (Directive 2008/105/EC). Current Hg levels in Abramis brama from German rivers are in the range of 73-346 Ţg/kg wet weight (2009) and exceed the EQS by a factor of 3.7-17.3. Therefore, it is important to identify the sources of Hg pollution in the aquatic environment and to develop effective strategies for reducing the input into associated river systems. The aim of the present study was to analyze Hg in the urban water cycle of the city of Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Samples were taken from the river Main crosscutting the city and its tributaries. In addition, precipitation, stormwater runoff, effluents of two municipal WWTPs, and stormwater management structures such as combined sewer overflows and stormwater retention basins have been analyzed. Loads of Hg have been determined based on the measured concentrations and a Hg mass balance for the aquatic system was created. A total of 160 water samples were analyzed by cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (CVAFS) according to US EPA Method 1631. Results from the mass balance have shown that approximately 5 kg Hg/a enter and 15 kg Hg/a leave the study area of Frankfurt am Main via the river Main. The largest amount of Hg (24.58 kg/a) throughout the urban water cycle of Frankfurt am Main is transported via wastewater. However, municipal WWTPs in Frankfurt am Main have been identified as the largest Hg sink, since 99.7% (24.5 kg/a) of the Hg is shifted from the sewage water and stormwater during treatment into the sewage sludge. Thus, the increase of the Hg load in the river Main from 5 to 15 kg/a has to be attributed to other sources such as 3 industrial WWTPs, groundwater and non-treated stormwater runoff during heavy rain events.Quelle: http://www.mdpi.com
From logo-centrism to corporate branding?: the (r)evolution in organisational identity

description: When the archaeologists of the next millennium dig down into the landfills of the past 100 years, in between the mountains of perfectly preserved disposable diapers and other detritus of our instant civilisation, they will find mounds of unused business cards, envelopes, and letterheads. These costly rejects of corporate revamps litter the last decade of the millennium as the fall-out of countless restructuring exercises. It is not surprising that cynicism about the point of all this frenetic activity is widespread. Consultants grow fatter as corporations get leaner and meaner (but with mare up-market typefaces). In this paper, I explore the various historical phases of organisational identity work and consider what direction it might take in the future.
A robust MIMO terminal sliding mode control scheme for rigid robotic manipulators

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In this paper, a robust multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) terminal sliding mode control technique is developed for n-link rigid robotic manipulators. It is shown that an MIMO terminal switching plane variable vector is first defined, and the relationship between the terminal switching plane variable vector and system error dynamics is established. By using the MIMO terminal sliding mode technique and a few structural properties of rigid robotic manipulators, a robust controller can then be designed so that the output tracking error can converge to zero in a finite time, and strong robustness with respect to large uncertain dynamics can be guaranteed. It is also shown that the high gain of the terminal sliding mode controllers can be significantly reduced with respect to the one of the linear sliding mode controller where the sampling interval is nonzero.

description: Two important things to be studied in the joining of thermoplastic composite materials using microwave irradiation are the relationship between the microwave energy and the matrix of the composite as well as that between the reinforcing fibre filaments and microwave irradiation. The characteristics of the thermoplastic matrix of the composite, eg structure, crystallinity, glass transition and heat-distortion temperatures are related to the heat transfer in the material during joining process. Microscopy study is used to find out the microstructural characteristics along and around the bondline of the welds. The separation distance of the reinforcing carbon filaments was varied and heat transfer in the material during joining was studied. The reasons why the thermoplastic matrix composite materials were weakened by prolonged microwave irradiation were also studied and analysed.

description: We study the Kondo screening effect generated by a single-electron transistor or quantum dot embedded in a small metallic ring. When the ring circumference L becomes comparable to the fundamental length scale ξK0 = ħυF/TK0 associated with the bulk Kondo temperature, the Kondo resonance is strongly affected, depending on the total number of electrons (mod4) and magnetic flux threading the ring. The resulting Kondo-assisted persistent currents are also calculated in both Kondo and mixed-valence regimes, and the maximum values are found in the crossover region.

Paraffines

description: La DSC à compensation de puissance mesure directement le flux de chaleur entre deux fours indépendants, alors que l'Analyse Thermique Différentielle (ATD) mesure la différence de température entre un échantillon et une référence dans un seul four. La DSC à compensation de puissance fournie des valeurs d'énergie plus précises grâce à une sensibilité et une exactitude plus grandes.

Dans cette étude, deux paraffines, la RT28HC commercialisée par Rubitherm et le PCM28-Slurry de MicroCaps, dont la température de fusion est d'environ 28$^{\circ}$C, ont été caractérisées par ces deux techniques préalablement étalonnées. Chaque paraffine a été soumise à un cycle de chauffage/refroidissement à deux vitesses différentes : 10$^{\circ}$C/min et 0,5$^{\circ}$C/min.

Nos conclusions principales sont :

1. Des températures d'onset de pic de fusion différentes.

2. Des pics moins larges en DSC à compensation de puissance.

3. Des valeurs d'enthalpies de changement de phase différentes entre technique et variant plus fortement avec la vitesse en ATD.

4. Des températures de cristallisation apparaissant à des températures plus basses en ATD.

5. Une forme du pic de cristallisation pouvant avoir une forme inattendue en remontant en température en ATD, ce qui n'est pas observé en DSC à compensation de puissance.

En ATD, à cause de l'exothermie de la cristallisation, une augmentation de la température est mesurée lors du refroidissement ; cette augmentation de température n'est pas observée en DSC à compensation de puissance puisqu'elle pilote la puissance afin de garder un écart de température nul entre l'échantillon et la référence.

Dans la littérature, les températures et les enthalpies de changement de phase peuvent varier selon les appareils, les conditions de mesure et d'analyse.

Functional dependencies, from relational to XML

Year: 2024

description: The flexibility of XML allows the same data to be represented in many different ways. Some representations may be better than others in that they require less storage or have less redundancy. In this paper we define functional dependencies in XML (XFDs) and investigate their effect on the design of XML documents. We then define two subtypes of XFDs, namely partial and transitive XFDs, which cause the same problems in XML document design as the corresponding types of FDs in relations. We further show that the removal of such types of XFDs can lead to a better document design. On the basis of this, we define the concept of upward XFDs and analyze its use in maximizing the nesting levels in XML documents without introducing redundancy. We further propose guidelines to nesting elements in XML documents.

description: Tuberculosis preventive treatment (TPT) is essential for the End TB Strategy, but shorter and better-tolerated regimens are urgently needed to boost its coverage and acceptance. Male silicosis patients aged 18 years to 65 years received a novel 1H3P3 regimen (400 mg isoniazid and 450 mg rifapentine, thrice-weekly for 4 weeks) under direct observation, and were actively followed up for 3 years. The safety and efficacy were compared to the 3-month, once-weekly isoniazid/rifapentine (3HP) group and observation group from our previous trails. A total of 279 eligible participants were enrolled, and 238 participants provided informed consent. All eligible participants had a median age of 56 years (IQR 52–60), 163 (68.5%) participants had a Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine scar, and 74 (31.1%) participants were QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube positive. There were 88 adverse events from 66 (27.7%) participants and only one (0.4%) participant had a Grade 3 adverse event. The completion rate was 92.0% (219/238). Six (2.5%) participants were diagnosed with active TB, five of which were bacterial confirmed TB cases. The cumulative active TB rate was 1.67 cases per 100 person-years. Compared to previous study, 1H3P3 regimen significantly reduced 3-year cumulative active TB rate than observation group (HR = 0.26, Log-rank P = 0.02), and was comparable with 3HP group (HR = 0.74, Log-rank P = 0.69), while significantly reducing adverse events. 1H3P3 TPT regimen was both safe and effective among Chinese silicosis patients. Further work is necessary to test the regimen in other high-risk populations. ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT03900858. Trial registration:ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03900858..

description: Hooded Vultures Necrosyrtes monachus are Critically Endangered, with numbers decreasing due to illegal poisoning, hunting for belief-based use and food, and habitat loss. In The Gambia, human activities currently benefit commensalism between humans and Hooded Vultures, as these birds primarily feed on carcasses and organic waste found around human settlements. This study aimed to identify suitable habitats for Hooded Vultures in The Gambia and assess the importance of environmental variables for habitat suitability. We surveyed 791 km of roads by car in 2017 and 2021 for signs of vulture occurrence (n = 179). Occurrence data were combined with 15 environmental variables using the Maximum Entropy species distribution model (MaxEnt) to predict suitable habitats. We found that 43.7% of the country is unsuitable as habitat for Hooded Vultures, 27.1% is of low suitability, 17.6% is of moderate suitability, and 11.6% is of high suitability. Highly suitable vulture habitats were identified in the western region and the greater Banjul area. The likelihood of vulture occurrence increased with the density of built-up areas and proximity to roads but decreased with the density of water bodies. Vulture habitats are limited across the country and are constrained to certain climatic conditions in areas of intense human settlement, such as arid and semi-arid regions with low rainfall and high temperatures. Although the commensal relationship with humans brings benefits to the vultures, it also exposes them to human-caused threats that can reduce their survival. Our results suggest that urban planning, waste management, and climate impacts should be considered in their long-term conservation planning.

description: Almost universally, raptors exhibit some degree of sexual size dimorphism, with many species also having substantial sexual dimorphism in plumage patterns. The monophyletic clade ‘booted eagles’ generally do not, except for the Crowned Eagle Stephanoaetus coronatus, which are believed to have sex-specific wing patterns suitable for field identification. We challenge this long-established norm of field identification of sexes of Crowned Eagles based on their wing bar patterns. Photographs of seven adult Crowned Eagles were translated to a standardised digital template to facilitate a systematic comparison. There was significant individual variation in the wing pattern of Crowned Eagles, and these did not appear to be linked to sex. Alternative explanations for the underwing patterns include plumage polymorphism and individual plumage variation. We demonstrated that Crowned Eagles cannot be reliably sexed by the number of bars on the wing and we established a foundation for ongoing investigation, especially regarding the stability of this pattern in ageing individuals.

description: Despite the importance of the poultry sector in Nigeria, limited research has explored free-ranging poultry farmers’ attitudes towards raptors and the factors influencing these perceptions. Perceptions, whether grounded in evidence or not, can shape behaviours and influence conservation outcomes, as people often act on beliefs rather than facts. We surveyed 199 free-ranging poultry farmers across 12 of 17 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Plateau State using structured questionnaires in 2021 and 2022. Our analysis revealed that place of residence was the only significant predictor of perception towards raptors, with perceptions not significantly influenced by poultry loss, age, gender or education level. Farmers in Jos East, near the Amurum Forest Reserve, exhibited more negative opinions compared to other regions, potentially due to perceived raptor predation on poultry and mistrust towards conservation efforts at the AP Leventis Ornithological Research Institute (APLORI). Regardless of accuracy, such perceptions can undermine conservation efforts and potentially lead to increased, unwarranted raptor persecution. We recommend further research incorporating empirical data on predation rates and enhanced community engagement to address misconceptions.

description: This paper describes a research project, which seeks to showcase the experience base of practitioners with technology-enhanced teaching and learning. A particular focus of this investigation is how the use of information and communications technology is influencing teaching practices and students' approaches to learning at the University of Melbourne. This investigation is a naturalistic inquiry into the experience base of academics who have been engaged in technology-enhanced teaching and learning. Our goal has been to look beyond objective data and to ascertain how information and communications technology is fundamentally influencing the nature of the teaching and learning transactions. As such we are interested in the 'untold' stories of practitioners and participants in this work.

 RESUMO
 FUNDAMENTO - Yoga é uma prática psicofísica com enfoque na conexão entre mente, respiração e corpo (RAUB, 2002). OBJETIVO - analisar a literatura científica publicada sobre alterações cardiovasculares em postura invertida, em praticantes de Yoga, utilizando as bases de dados completas da Science Direct, PubMed/MEDLINE, CENTRAL (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials), LILACS (BIREME), IndMED e Scielo; essas bases foram escolhidas pela representatividade, abrangência internacional e relevância e impacto dentro da pesquisa médica. MÉTODO - Os termos de busca utilizados incluíram combinações entre as palavras-chave yoga, inversion, blood pressure, heart rate, Sarvangasana e Sirsasana, em inglês e português. RESULTADOS - A partir do conjunto de combinações de termos, 5 artigos foram identificados e selecionados para estudo. A análise considerou periódico, natureza do estudo, número de participantes, população investigada, amostra, parâmetros cardiovasculares investigados, métodos de aferimentos utilizados, e resultados obtidos. Dois dos artigos foram publicados na Indian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, um no Jounal ofApplied Physiology, um no BMC Research Notes e um no Ancient Science of Life. Cinco pesquisas foram quantitativas (100% dos estudos selecionados), com um total de 71 participantes (média de participantes=14,2). As populações de estudo foram, em sua maioria, jovens não-portadoras de doença cardiovascular preexistente, sem lesões musculo esqueléticas ou doenças crônicas, predominantemente do sexo masculino (67 dos participantes). Os estudos foram conduzidos em dois países diferentes, Índia (n=4) e Suécia (n=1). O método de coleta de dados foi através de aferimento direto com equipamentos específicos (n=5). Somente dois avaliaram os voluntários durante a inversão. Os parâmetros investigados foram frequência cardíaca (n=4), pressão arterial (n=4), variação de frequência cardíaca (n=2), intervalos sistólicos (n=1), medidas anatômicas (n=1) além de medidas não-cardiovasculares complementares para fins de elucidação sobre controle neurológico (n=2). CONCLUSÕES - 1) a prática de posturas invertidas, tanto sozinhas, quanto em sequências com outras posturas, pode resultar em redução da frequência cardíaca de repouso em pessoas sadias imediatamente após a execução das mesmas, assim como no médio prazo. 2) Os resultados sugerem que há aumento de pressão arterial sistólica e diastólica braquial na inversão postural, com retorno aos seus valores de repouso após a cessão da postura.

description: Background and aims: In many jurisdictions, where gambling services are provided, regulatory codes require gambling operators to apply a duty of care toward patrons. A common feature of these provisions is some expectation that venue staff identify and assist patrons who might be experiencing problems with their gambling. The effectiveness of such measures is, however, predicated on the assumption that there are reliable and observable indicators that might be used to allow problem gamblers to be distinguished from other gamblers. Methods: In this study, we consolidate the findings from two large Australian studies (n = 505 and n = 680) of regular gamblers that were designed to identify reliable and useful indicators for identifying problem gambling in venues. Results: It was found that problem gamblers are much more likely to report potentially visible emotional reactions, unusual social behaviors, and very intense or frenetic gambling behavior. Discussion and conclusions: This study shows that there are a range of indicators that could potentially be used to identify people experiencing problems in venues, but that decisions are most likely to be accurate if based on an accumulation of a diverse range of indicators.

title: Etude énergétique et environnementale des systèmes de production d'eau chaude sanitaire en France : lequel du chauffe-eau thermodynamique ou du chauffe-eau solaire est le plus soutenable ?

description: La consommation d'énergie due à la production d'eau chaude sanitaire ECS en France est évaluée à 75 TWh. Actuellement, les cumuls électriques et les chauffe-eau thermodynamiques représentent 51 \% des systèmes de production d'ECS en fonctionnement avec une consommation d'environ 20 TWh. Selon un scénario de RTE [1], l'électrification des usages et le remplacement des cumulus électriques par des chauffe-eau thermodynamiques conduiraient à réduire à environ 16,5 TWh, soit une économie d'énergie de 3,5 TWh. D'autre part, les chauffe-eau solaires contribuent actuellement à économiser environ 2,4 TWh. Or si l'on se fixe comme objectif d'atteindre la moyenne européenne en termes de nombre de systèmes installés par habitant, il nous faudrait multiplier par un facteur 3 le nombre de chauffe-eau solaires [2]. Ceci correspondrait donc à une économie de 7,2 TWh, soit une économie 2 fois plus importante que ce que prévoit RTE. Nous comparons pour l'ECS dans l'habitat à l'échelle de la France un scénario d'électrification des usages thermiques à un scénario de développement du solaire thermique en termes énergétique et environnemental. L'impact de ces systèmes est évalué sur la base d'émissions de CO2, de consommation d'énergies non renouvelables et d'épuisement des ressources matérielles naturelles. Une précédente étude avait montré le caractère frugal du chauffe-eau solaire [3]. Nous déterminons ici les demandes d'énergies non renouvelables et de matériaux non recyclés cumulées sur l'ensemble du cycle de vie de ces différents systèmes en focalisant notre attention sur le chauffe-eau thermodynamique et le chauffe-eau solaire. Il s'agit d'estimer l'influence sur les résultats de différents paramètres tels que le taux de recyclage des matériaux, l'énergie du recyclage, le contenu CO2 de l'énergie électrique, la situation géographique... On montre ainsi l'intérêt du recyclage et on quantifie les émissions de CO2 associées à la production d'eau chaude sanitaire. Un véritable gain aussi bien environnemental qu'énergétique pourrait être obtenu en favorisant davantage le chauffe-eau solaire.

description: Brian McFarlane reviews Kenneth Lonergan's film 'Manchester by the Sea'. Kenneth Lonergan's Manchester by the Sea, only his third feature in fifteen years, arrived in Australia garlanded with award nominations and justified praise from overseas reviewers. It is an uncompromising piece of work that resists the temptation to cosy up to us as its often-daunting story unfolds. This doesn't mean that it’s depressing - rather, it squarely faces from the emotional and character challenges it sets itself, while also featuring some sharply comic moments. The film seems to have been shot entirely on location in Massachusetts, and mainly in the seaside town of Manchester, even down to interiors such as the bar where the protagonist lets fly, which gives the film a wonderful look of authenticity. Not that this would be enough to sustain our interest over two-and-a-quarter hours if the locations weren’t superbly used to distinguish the social layers at work in the film.

description: Construction projects are embarked upon with multiple but specific objectives to be achieved, one of which is to fulfill the client’s needs and meet their expectations. The aim of the study is to evaluate and compare the current and desired level of the satisfaction of clients with the quality of projects delivered. 115 responses were received from construction professionals working in clients’ organizations, and the data were collated and analyzed. The findings revealed that clients relate quality to compliance with specification and design standards. The results also showed that factors influencing project quality in the Nigerian construction industry are management commitment, regular inspections, and audits, skilled workforce. It is evident from the analysis that the current level of project quality delivery is quite lower than the desired level, and with wider gaps between the two factors of cost and timeliness. It is recommended that every participant in the construction project team should be conscious that projects must comply with specification and design standards which are significant to clients’

description: La performance d'un système Photovoltaïque/Thermique (PVT) est définie par deux principaux facteurs : la puissance électrique générée par le module Photovoltaïque (PV) et la puissance thermique extraite du module thermique. Pour augmenter la production globale d'énergie, des générateurs de vortex (VGs) ont été ajoutés pour intensifier les transferts convectifs et une stratégie de Modèle Economique de Contrôle Prédictif (EMPC) mise en place. Dans cette étude, des simulations volumes finis ont permis de déterminer les corrélations de pertes de charge et d'échanges nécessaires à la construction d'un modèle dynamique sous Dymola de PVT amélioré (avec VG). Celui-ci a ensuite été utilisé via Matlab/Simulink avec un contrôleur EMPC. Des simulations sont réalisées avec des journées types d'été et d'hiver dans le nord de la France, avec deux scénarios d'utilisation d'énergie : (i) sans récupération de chaleur (NHR) et (ii) avec récupération de chaleur (HR). Les résultats ont montré que lorsque l'on utilise un contrôleur EMPC avec un scénario de récupération de chaleur, le gain d'énergie augmente de 174 \% et 234 \% respectivement pour les cas de canal lisse standard et celui du cas amélioré avec générateurs de vortex.
