description: The ancient hydrographical network and geomorphological framework of the fluvial and coastal plain encompassed between the Livenza and Piave Rivers in the mainland of Venice (Northeastern Italy) were reconstructed, based on historical maps, georeferenced, and overlaid on available geomorphological maps and aerial photographs. A selection of 59 maps was accurately analyzed (32 from the sixteenth century, 31 from the seventeenth century, and 6 from the eighteenth century). They were selected by author, commitment, date, and scale, from among more than 1000 maps edited by Savi e Esecutori alle Acque (the ‘hydrographical’ service during the Republic of Venice) in the 16th and seventeenth century. The most representatives (7 from the sixteenth century and 6 from the seventeenth century) were georeferenced and redrawn. Finally, four 1:50.000 maps were created, picturing the ancient morphology and hydrographical network in the years 1550, 1600, 1650, and 1700, covering an area of about 130 square kilometers. Geographical information was compared with historical documents and geological, geomorphological, and geochronological data. Further comparison of geodetic maps from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century produced new maps with important information on the paleogeographical and environmental framework across two centuries, and particularly on the artificial diversion projects performed by the Venetian Republic, their effectiveness, and the geomorphological changes both related to human intervention and recent climatic changes.

description: La création de "Don Giovanni" en 1787 à Prague n’est qu’une étape dans la longue file des avatars de ce qui pourrait bien être un mythe caractéristique de la culture européenne. Celui-ci ne cesse de donner vie à des incarnations dont la diversité pourrait relever de l’incohérence si le simple nom de Don Juan n’avait pour fonction de nous rappeler l’aptitude du personnage à traverser les siècles dans les constantes d’un caractère et de questionnements qui ne cessent de concerner notre vie publique et privée.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Greenhouse gases (GHG), mainly methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), can be generated in agricultural activities, not only in waste but also in the process of breathing of livestock. The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) is an innovative Russian methodology that allows finding the solution to a problem raised. This paper presents the use of two TRIZ tools to design a non-invasive prototype that detects CH4 and CO2 emitted by cattle in real time. The tools were the matrix of technical contradictions and the nine-screen analysis with which the parameter to be improved (A) was found and the best possible solution to design a prototype that allows quantifying gases for animal welfare, Final Ideal Result (IFR) a wireless module with a sensor system for each of the gases placed on the bovine head, which convert the detected gas into an electrical signal to be sent wirelessly to a range of 1.5 km in free space at a receiver for its visualization representing the parts per million (ppm) of CH4 and CO2 that the bovine is generating during the measurement.
title: Approximate postbuckling analysis of shear deformable laminates
Creators: name: Schilling, Jakob Christian

Publisher: name: Wiley-VCH
Year: 2024

description: In the lightweight design of aircraft, spacecraft and marine vessels, often advanced materials are utilised. Advanced materials such as laminated composites made of fibre‐reinforced plastics show transverse shear deformations if they are considered "thick" or possess little transverse shear stiffness. In most cases, the effect of the shear deformations is neglected, and few computational models exist that consider the closed‐form approximate analysis of the postbuckling behaviour. Thus, a new computational model based on high‐order shear deformation theories is introduced. The solution is derived based on the principle of the minimum of the total elastic potential and is evaluated in comparison to finite element analyses. The highly efficient approximate computational model is developed to offer a valuable tool for the preliminary design of lightweight structures utilising shear deformable advanced materials.

description: This trial aimed to study the separate effects of nano-fertilizers and sugar alcohols in mitigating salt-stress on eggplant (Solanum melongena L) crop. For this purpose, two different concentrations of lithovit®-guano25 (A1:0.5 g L -1 and A2:1 g L -1 ) and sorbitol (B1:5 g L -1 and B2:10 g L -1 ) were sprayed on eggplant irrigated by three NaCl solutions (EC1:1.5 dS m-1 , EC2:3 dS m-1 and EC3 6 dS m-1 ). Control plants were salt-stressed without any product. Results revealed an inhibitory effect of increasing in salt-stress on vegetative traits (plant height, leaf number, weights of plant parts and root mass fraction), reproductive traits (fruit number, fruit weight, yield plant-1 , fruit diameter) and photosynthetic pigments. Control plants at EC6 had the highest cell electrolyte leakage (51.26%). Plant height and fruit number were maximized by A1 at all salinity levels. Additionally, A2 increased fruit weight by 89.98g, 85g and 92.3g compared to control respectively at 1.5, 3 and 6 dS m-1 . Yield plant-1 increased by this treatment at all EC levels. At 3 and 6 dS m-1 , A2-treated plants had the highest chlorophyll a (respectively 1.67 and 1.4mg g-1 fresh weight), total chlorophyll (respectively 2.38 and 1.9mg g-1 fresh weight) and carotenoids (respectively 193 and 172µg g-1 fresh weight) contents. A2-treated plants had the lowest cell electrolyte leakage at 1.5 dS m-1 (14.27%), 3 dS m-1 (25.31%) and 6 dS m-1 (37.78%). Treating plants with B1 and B2 maximized respectively fruit diameter at 1.5 dS m -1 and water content in all plant parts at 3 dS m-1 . Both products helped plants reducing the adverse effects caused by salinity.
“A style which defies convention, tradition, homogeneity, prudence, and sometimes even syntax”

Year: 2020

description: Combining the methods of stylistics and literary criticism, this essay takes a fresh look at two texts that have been analysed ad nauseam: Henry James’s The Portrait of a Lady and Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence. I use James’s late style as a touchstone to compare and contrast the two texts. Analysing syntax by means of close textual analysis of the novels’ opening paragraphs as well as metaphorical language, employing the corpus analysis programme AntConc to survey the entire texts, I aim to show that James’s 1881 text anticipates his late style and Wharton’s 1920 text appropriates it to suit her own agenda. However, in respectively anticipating and appropriating this style, James and Wharton create different effects. James intensifies his female protagonist’s “world of thought and feeling,” creating a fictional world with literary equality for both genders, while Wharton subverts gender roles in a scathing critique of Gilded Age society, which did not allow for this other “world of thought and feeling”. In addition to positioning both novels as inherently feminist and progressive, this essay compares Wharton’s writing to James’s, but without presupposing the latter’s influence on the former. Instead, acknowledging the fluidity of style, I hope to put forward a convincing case that there are subtle differences that make these authors’ styles Jamesian and Whartonian, respectively.

description: The practice of separating grain mixtures with the use of the difference in the aerodynamic properties of their components has proved that the process of separating mixtures in the aspiration separator is the most promising one with regard to the improvement of quality and intensification of production. The authors have developed a new improved design of aspiration seed separators, in which the work process of separating seed material is performed with the use of vibration processes. In this seed material separator, the constant force air flow that acts on the sail members on the central pipe of the separator, when seeds are fed for processing, generates self-excited oscillations in the pipe, which produces centrifugal forces of inertia in the seed feeding system. As a result of the mentioned effect, the propelling force in the process under study substantially increases, accelerating the seeds of different fractions, which differ in their masses, to different velocities. The motion paths of the seed particles change accordingly, heavier particles moving closer to the vertical axis of the aspiration channel, which provides for increasing the efficiency of separation of the seeds of different fractions from each other. In this paper, a new mathematical model is developed for the motion of a seed mixture material particle in the operating space of the separator’s aspiration channel. The mathematical modelling of the process of vibration and aspiration separation has indicated that the separation of the motion paths of the medium and heavy fractions takes place within the range of 20–40 mm; the flying speed of the particles is equal to 3.2–8.0 m s–1, respectively; and their acceleration is equal to 1.8– 3.3 m s–2, which provides the necessary conditions for the accurate and high quality separation into the required fractions. In view of the found differences between the kinematic characteristics of the separated fractions of the grain mixture, the diameter of the pipeline for the medium fraction is to be within the range of 90–100 mm, for the heavy fraction – 50–70 mm.

description: Nitrate contamination of drinking water sources has become one of the most important water quality concerns across the United States. Nitrate presents unique water treatment challenges and small water systems are particularly affected by the high costs of addressing nitrate impacted supplies. The goal of this investigation was to provide an overview of nitrate treatment options, highlighting the most recent advances and elucidating costs and common problems in application. No single treatment option is ideal for all situations; new technologies continue to be investigated to effectively remove nitrate while limiting cost and maximizing sustainability.

description: Cement factory machines operating at 120 Hz thermal energy generations using three-phase squirrel cage machines is presented. A cement is an adhesive chemical substances used for construction that set, hardens and adheres to other materials to bind them together. Cement manufacturing is a complex process that begins with mining and then grinding raw materials that include limestone and clay which is then heated to a sintering temperature as high as 1450 °C in a cement kiln. It is a finely ground powders that, when mixed with water it set and hardened mass. Thermal energy is the energy that comes from hot temperature of matters. Heat is the flow of thermal energy and three types of thermal energy are conduction, radiation and convention. Convection is a cyclical process that only occurs in fluids. Squirrel cage machines are machine whose rotor is cylindrical mounted on the shaft of copper or aluminum bars. Due to its ruggedness in construction and low maintenance found applications in industrial drives, mills, turning machines, pump, fan and blowers. The inadequate generating capacity, frequent grids collapses, and power outages in developing countries has made the call for distributed generation imperative. Electromagnetic three-phase squirrel cage machine of electrical and mechanical design energy generation depend on the heat transfer within the various parts of the three-phase squirrel cage machine. The thermal effect in three-phase squirrel cage machine is complex, non-linear, and difficult and the behavior is differently from other conventional machines electromagnetically. The rotor speed shows that the speed of the machine drops at time equals 0.5s due to load application, the torque increases from 0Nm to 31Nm which is the value of the mechanical load torque. The transient period of the machine dies down about 0.15s after start-up and the magnitude of the steady state value of the stator phase currents increases as the load is applied at time equals 0.5s.The investigation finds application where critical temperature of the three-phase squirrel cage machine parts during and after machine load ability is imperative. The thermal properties of the materials used in designing of the three-phase squirrel cage machines and the constant heat transfer coefficients parameters were determined from developed thermal model information. The electrical and mechanical thermal model development in addition to computer simulation show that the cement factory electrical thermal effect energy generation to operate from 120 Hz using three-phase squirrel cage machines is very effective for the smooth plant operation and recommended for cement factories and energy generating industries

description: The traditional mining sector uses resource assessments to estimate the mineability of natural resources. The results are communicated to investors, authorities and corporate management boards in a standardized manner, at least on a country level. The recycling sector also requires estimates of recoverable anthropogenic resources. Evidence-based resource assessment, including the selection of parameters for characterising resources and methods for assessing their recoverability, is essential to obtain comparable estimates over time and across scales. Within this report, the COST Action MINEA presents a practical and user-friendly knowledge base for facilitating anthropogenic resource assessments. The fouces is on extractives industry residues, residues in landfills, residues from municipal solid waste incineration as well as construction & demolition waste flows. The key objectives are: To relate current knowledge levels, gaps and future needs to assessments of viability of anthropogenic resource recovery. To review case studies that demonstrate anthropogenic resource assessment in combination with resource classification in order to communicate the viability of anthropogenic resource recovery. We encourage academics, businesses and government organisations to use this report for: designing and developing case studies, future planning, developing standards for characterizing resource quantities and evaluating their recoverability, and collecting and harmonizing resource statistics. ************* The “Mining the European Anthroposphere” (MINEA) is a pan-European expert network, which received funding from the COST Association between 2016 and 2020. The network pools knowledge for estimating the future recoverability of raw materials from anthropogenic resources.

The presentation examines the subjective perceptions and mitigation practices of the relational risks of renting. Drawing on relational and cultural theories of risk and methodologically on 114 qualitative questionnaires with tenants and landlords, I argue that the Romanian private renting sector works as a 'tenant market' not least because financial checks on tenants are socially unacceptable, even ‘socially legitimate’ evictions are rare, in-tenancy rent increases are uncommon and tenants tend to feel at home in their rented properties.

description: Caulerpa racemosa is a marine Chlorophyta widely distributed in tropical areas, introduced into the Mediterranean Sea since 1990. It has been invading the Mediterranean Sea causing ecological problems. This invasive event can be considered as one of the most serious in the history of species introduced into the Mediterranean Sea, even if C. racemosa has not triggered as much attention as the famous ‘killer alga’ Caulerpa taxifolia. The aim of this work is to analyse phytochemically C. racemosa in the northern Sardinia area for secondary metabolites. Marine algae shows the molecular pattern of bis-indole alkaloids, sesquiterpenes, diterpenes and sterols. The intention is to expand phytochemical analysis in order to understand just how significant the anti-tumour, anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive actions can be.
The Department of Defense, Offset Strategies, and the Prioritization of Great-Power Threats: An Organizational Analysis
Creators: name: Canter, Samuel M.
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2024

description: This work explains that the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) shifted priorities toward the Great-Power threats of Russia and China between 2014 – 2018 largely as a result of organizational factors. It argues that the 2014 – 2018 priority shift belongs to a long-term dynamic in U.S. defense policy dating back to the 1950s, wherein shifting organizational trends affect the timing for the DoD prioritization of Great-Power threats more so than changes to the external threat environment. To move beyond the threat-based narrative, this thesis draws from the Offset Strategy concept to identify two previous iterations of Great-Power prioritization within the DoD: Eisenhower’s New Look strategy (1953-58) and post-Vietnam policy and doctrine reforms (1971-79). A comparative analysis of the two case studies is employed to identify key organizational trends, which are then explicitly applied to a new organizationally-focused assessment of the 2014 – 2018 priority shift that challenges the threat-based narrative. The comparative approach offers new explanatory value by contextualizing Great-Power threat prioritization within the DoD as a discrete organizational phenomenon, driven primarily by a temporally-specific confluence of five internal factors: (1) a service-level threat assessment that gradually gains broader influence; (2) a wave of institutional self-reflection resulting from an ambiguously concluded war; (3) the emergence or maturation of a new military technology deemed conducive to Great-Power deterrence or warfare; (4) an acute reduction to the defense budget; and (5) an associated reorganization of national security processes.

description: Responsible policies, which are essential for the achievement of sustainable consumption and production (SDG12), take the material resources required for human health and well-being into consideration. Extraction of natural resources and utilization of residues can be optimized to achieve the SDGs, but we need to develop systems to enable sustainable practice. The systems we currently use to manage natural resources are entirely different from those used to manage anthropogenic resources derived from wastes; security of supply and economic profitability are the focus of the former while prevention of harmful impacts on human health and the environment are the concern of the latter. COST Action MINEA developed this Strategic Roadmap to realize the vision (Desired End Point) of sustainable management of anthropogenic resources established on a common footing with natural resources. The Strategic Roadmap traverses a landscape in which a number of supportive elements already exist, including the Circular Economy Package of the European Commission and a considerable number of research projects funded by the Horizon 2020 programme. The recommendations associated with the Strategic Roadmap is linked to the United Nations Framework Classification for Resources (UNFC) to form the core of a new globally relevant United Nations Resource Management System (UNRMS). The Strategic Roadmap recommends the following: Developing case studies
 Action 1: Mapping and bridging of the case studies to align with the UNFC.
 Action 2: Development of new pioneering case studies.
 Action 3: Updating existing case studies.
 Action 4: Extending the scope of case studies. Harmonizing and developing anthropogenic resource assessment, classification and reporting
 Action 5: Development of a generic harmonized procedure to estimate and communicate the viability of resource recovery. Providing information systems

description: The isolation of secondary metabolites from a methanolic extract of Kaempferia rotunda yielded 12 compounds (1–12), including a new polyoxygenated cyclohexane compound, (–)-3-acetyl-4-benzoyl-1-benzoyloxymethyl-1,6-diepoxycyclohexan-2,3,4,5-tetrol (1). The structures of the isolated compounds were determined based on their spectroscopic data and comparison with references. All of the isolated compounds were tested for their cytotoxic activity against pancreatic (PSN-1) and breast (MDA-MB231) cancer cell lines. Compound 12 showed moderate cytotoxic activity against PSN-1 and MDA-MB231 without showing any cytotoxicity against the normal cell line, TIG-3.

title: Wozzeck : une traversée des siècles
Publisher: name: Université Toulouse - Jean Jaurès
Year: 2021

description: 'Wozzeck', le seul opéra achevé de Berg, s’est imposé comme un jalon majeur de l’histoire de la musique au XXe siècle. Il partage avec 'Pelléas et Mélisande' de Debussy la réputation d’avoir su prendre en compte les héritages, les usages et les recettes d’un spectacle aristocratique devenu bourgeois, pour lui rendre la force moderne et subversive de ses origines. S’il est quelque peu surfait de considérer cette œuvre commencée en 1912 et créée en 1925 comme œuvre de rupture, elle pousse néanmoins les limites du cadre traditionnel. L’action dramatique suit une allure dédaignant les coups de théâtre à l’italienne et les longueurs méditatives wagnériennes, avançant au rythme de séquences brèves et dynamiques qui nous rappellent l’écriture cinématographique.

description: This study aimed at the determination of chemical composition of essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation, and to evaluate their phytotoxic and antifungal activities. Leaves of Ruta chalepensis L. were collected from the region of Tensift Al Haouz (High Atlas Mountains) Marrakech, Morocco. The essential oil (oil yield is 0.56%) was analysed by GC-FID and GC/MS. Twenty-two compounds were identified and accounted for 92.4% of the total oil composition. The major components were undecan-2-one (49.08%), nonan-2-one (33.15%), limonene (4.19%) and decanone (2.71%). Antifungal ability of essential oils was tested by disc agar diffusion against five plant pathogenic fungi: Fusarium proliferatum, Fusarium pseudograminearum, Fusarium culmorum, Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium polyphialidicum. The oils were also tested in vitro for herbicidal activity by determining their influence on the germination and the shoot and root growth of two weed species, Triticum durum and Phalaris canariensis L.

description: The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant capacity, radical scavenger activity, lipid oxidation protection and antimicrobial activity of grape extracts from 12 different red grape varieties cultivated in Portugal. The mean values of total phenolic content quantified in grape extracts varied from 833.7 to 2005.6 mg/L gallic acid. Antioxidant capacity results showed different values for each grape variety ranging from 3.96 to 32.96 mm/L Fe(II). The scavenger activity values ranged from 15.99% to 54.82% for the superoxide radical and from 11.79% to 29.67% for the hydroxyl radical. The grape extracts with the highest antioxidant capacity had a positive effect on the lipid oxidation protection and induced low peroxide values in butter samples. Finally, concerning antimicrobial activity, grape extracts from Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz grape varieties had significant antimicrobial activity, especially notable for total mesophilic aerobics.
IMPLEMENTING HYBRID PDE SOLVERS

subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We investigate the possibility that we effectively combine both conventional deterministic PDE solving methods and traditional probabilistic Monte Carlo approaches for solving linear Elliptic Partial Differential Equations. Our objective is to provide a robust and easy to use implementation that allows further experimentation on this new type of PDE solvers in order to elucidate their capabilities and computational characteristics. We first present the general formulation of the algorithm, then describe its implementation in C++ for a class of model problems in two and three space dimensions, we analyze its performance and we finally discuss possible extensions.

description: In this study, the optimisation of horse chestnut seed extraction was performed to determine the best extraction solvent in the recovery of pharmacologically active escin from raw material. All extracts were obtained by accelerated solvent extraction and were analysed for their antioxidant potential (DPPH test), phenolic content (Folin–Ciocalteu (FC) assay) and escin content (ESI-TOF-MS extracts profiling). Methanol was found to recover the highest amount of escin from the plant matrix as well as to produce the most active antiradical solutions rich in polyphenols. Radical scavenging properties of methanol extracts were calculated as 2 GAE in DPPH test and 23 GAE (mg/g) in FC assay. Quantitative analysis of extracts performed by ESI-TOF-MS measurements in ion-positive mode confirmed the presence of four major escin isomers in the extracts and showed that the high antioxidant potential of methanolic extracts went hand in hand with the highest content of escin (8.92%).
