description: Les résultats présentés dans cet article illustrent le comportement mécanique et thermique d’un calcaire lutécien (pierre de St-Maximin) représentatif du calcaire de la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris. L’effet des hautes températures de l’incendie sur les caractéristiques mécaniques et thermiques du calcaire après refroidissement est évalué. Des mesures mécaniques dynamiques par analyse modale impulsionnelle et par propagation des ondes ultra-sons sont réalisées et comparées à des mesures mécaniques quasi-statiques de compression uni-axiale et de flexion trois points. L’évolution des paramètres (module d’élasticité, coefficient de Poisson, résistance en compression et en traction, conductivité thermique) est estimée sur une plage de température allant de 20 °C à 800 °C grâce à la comparaison et à la complétion réciproque des mesures dynamiques non destructives et des mesures quasi-statiques destructives

description: In this paper, we use the parameter retrieval method together with an analytical effective medium approach to design a well-performed invisible cloak, which is based on an empirical revised version of the reduced cloak. The designed cloak can be implemented by silver nanowires with elliptical cross-sections embedded in a polymethyl methacrylate host. This cloak is numerically proved to be robust for both the inner hidden object as well as incoming detecting waves, and is much simpler thus easier to manufacture when compared with the earlier proposed one [Nat. Photon. 1, 224 (2007)].

description: L’objectif visé à travers cette étude est de parvenir à dimensionner de manière optimale les épaisseurs des murs en blocs de terre stabilisée (BTS), pour obtenir un confort thermique satisfaisant à l’intérieur des constructions avec ce matériau. Pour ce faire, une méthode analytique des admittances basée sur le complexe de Fourier est utilisée. L’analyse des résultats a mis en exergue les principaux facteurs influents sur le dimensionnement idoine pour parvenir à assurer un confort thermique satisfaisant à l’intérieur de ces constructions en terre. Parmi ces facteurs, on relève les caractéristiques thermo-physiques intrinsèques des matériaux utilisés et d’autres paramètres tels que le facteur de décrémentation (DF), le décalage temporel (TL), l’admittance (U), la transmittance (Y). Les résultats obtenus ont montré de meilleure performance thermique pour la configuration de mur (W3) ayant une épaisseur de 40 cm, composée de matériau en blocs BTS-3. Par conséquent, des valeurs de 15,49 heures et 0.088 ont été obtenus pour le déphasage thermique (TL) et le coefficient de décrémentation (DF), respectivement.

description: L’adobe est un matériau à inertie thermique importante, mais il se caractérise par une faible résistance mécanique soit en compression ou en flexion. L’utilisation d’adobe salin confectionné à l'aide d'un sable salin dans les bâtiments traditionnels dans la zone saharienne de l’Algérie présente une meilleure protection de ces bâtiments vis-à-vis des intempéries et offre une bonne isolation thermique au bâtiment. Nos mesures expérimentales effectuées sur les bâtiments traditionnels existants montrent que l’ambiance intérieure est tempérée et la température intérieure est quasi constante variant entre 31 et 33 °C, alors que celle de l’extérieure dépasse les 50 °C, marquant ainsi un écart journalier d'environ 17 °C. Cela influe positivement sur le confort thermique des habitants. Ce matériau apporte, par conséquent, une solution idéale aux habitants du Sahara, et apporte du confort thermique à l’intérieur du bâtiment sans recours à la climatisation électrique

description: Over the past years several authors have used the approach of generalized modeling to study the dynamics of food chains and food webs. Generalized models come close to the efficiency of random matrix models, while being as directly interpretable as conventional differential-equation-based models. Here we present a pedagogical introduction to the approach of generalized modeling. This introduction places more emphasis on the underlying concepts of generalized modeling than previous publications. Moreover, we propose a shortcut that can significantly accelerate the formulation of generalized models and introduce an iterative procedure that can be used to refine existing generalized models by integrating new biological insights.

description: Lack of appropriate social housing is a great challenge in most developing countries. Afghanistan is one of them, where in the capital, Kabul, population growth very rapidly, resulted in a high demand for affordable social housing, and construction of illegal houses and private modern townships. This has dramatically changed the form of the housing and view of the city [5]. One of the solutions to overcome this high housing demand is to use the local material that has been used traditionally for years in Kabul. It is environmentally friendly and easily available on construction site. In previous paper, three soils of the Kabul region were studied and the best earthen element was selected [5]. In this paper an architectural model from the selected element that should be responsive for Kabul climate, will be developed and analysed. According to Köppen climate classification, Kabul has cold desert climate, with dry cold winter and dry warm summer. This study, optimize design strategy for social housing program in Kabul city. Compressive earth block (CEB) walls in various thickness (100-1000) mm designed and thermally analysed to find the optimum wall thickness. Soil-straw plaster applied to protect the CEB wall from rain. Auto desk (Revit and Archiwizard) and WUFI pro softwares are used to optimize wall thickness and validate energy demand and thermal performance of the model. This research paper will enable the architects and builders to practically design earth buildings and optimize earthen wall’s thickness.

description: De nos jours, la priorité est au développement de matériaux et de technologies respectueux de l’environnement. C’est dans cette optique que s’inscrit cette étude réalisée en partenariat avec la société Constructions 3D. Cette dernière, dont le but premier est de vendre des imprimantes 3D à travers le monde, est soucieuse de l’impact environnemental que les mortiers imprimables peuvent avoir. Ainsi, des matériaux alternatifs au ciment tels que le métakaolin et le laitier de haut-fourneau ont été choisis afin de formuler une encre plus éco-responsable dont le taux de substitution du ciment s’élève à 70%. En vue des applications souhaitées, ce mortier à liant ternaire se doit d’être imprimable (c’est-à-dire pompable, extrudable et constructible). En effet, le matériau doit dans un premier temps être assez fluide pour être extrudé de la buse puis changer rapidement de comportement afin de supporter le poids des couches successives. Formulé à partir d’une encre de référence à liant uniquement cimentaire et en travaillant à maniabilité constante, le mortier à liant ternaire y est comparé afin d’en apprécier les propriétés à l’état frais et à l’état durci. De ce fait, les essais permettant d’évaluer l’imprimabilité et la constructibilité du mortier tels que le fall cône, l’essai d’étalement et l’impression manuelle au laboratoire sont utilisés. Des essais de résistance mécanique en flexion et compression à 2, 7, 28 et 90 jours ainsi qu’un suivi dans le temps du comportement au retrait des deux matériaux sont effectués. Enfin, des tests d’impression à l’échelle 1 sont réalisés afin de valider ou non le caractère imprimable de l’encre à liant ternaire dans le but ensuite d’imprimer des objets à plus grande échelle. Il apparaît que l’encre à liant ternaire est bien imprimable à échelle 1 dans les mêmes conditions que l’encre de référence. Elle sera donc utilisée sur chantier pour en évaluer les propriétés en conditions réelles.

description: Optical selection rules for one-dimensional graphene nanoribbons are analytically studied and clarified based on the tight-binding model. A theoretical explanation, through analyzing the velocity matrix elements and the features of wavefunctions, can account for the selection rules, which depend on the edge structure of nanoribbon, namely armchair or zigzag edges. The selection rule of armchair nanoribbons is ΔJ=0, and the optical transitions occur from the conduction to valence subbands of the same index. Such a selection rule originates in the relationships between two sublattices and between conduction and valence subbands. On the other hand, zigzag nanoribbons exhibit the selection rule |ΔJ|=odd, which results from the alternatively changing symmetry property as the subband index increases. An efficiently theoretical prediction on transition energies is obtained with the application of selection rules. Furthermore, the energies of band edge states become experimentally attainable via optical measurements.

description: The history of men's intramurals at Utah State University has been one of improbable beginnings with unrecognized goals . It has grown to a program of very positive beginnings, and very recognizable goals.
This was done by implementing far reaching and forward looking ideas. Of Course, there were many times during the course of the departmental history when miscalculations were made; but in general, they were for the best.
The program now encompases three campus-wide leagues with some thirty to sixty teams, depending upon the sport.

description: Le béton de ciment Portland est le premier matériau de construction dans le monde car il est facile à produire, résistant mécaniquement et a fait ses preuves de durabilité quand il était bien formulé par rapport à son exposition. Cependant, son impact environnemental est important du fait de l’utilisation de ciment Portland dont son constituant principal, le clinker, est grand consommateur d’énergie et fort contributeur en gaz à effet de serre. Des solutions permettant de diminuer les quantités de clinker sont donc recherchées dans le monde entier. L'Équateur est l'un des pays situés dans la ceinture de feu du Pacifique avec de très nombreux volcans. Or, les cendres volcaniques, présentes en quantité très importantes, sont connues pour améliorer les propriétés des matériaux cimentaires grâce à leur réactivité en milieu basique. Cependant, cette réactivité peut différer de manière notable selon les cendres utilisées. L’objectif de cet article est de qualifier plusieurs essais de laboratoire afin d’évaluer la réactivité de ces cendres volcaniques. Pour cela, 9 cendres, provenant de 5 volcans différents et broyées à la même finesse, ont été étudiées. Les essais pratiqués sont chimiques (essais Chapelle, analyse thermique sur pâtes ou mortiers hydratés), calorimétriques (suivi de la chaleur d’hydratation) ou mécaniques (essais sur mortiers de ciment ou de chaux à différentes échéances). Les résultats montrent la variabilité des résultats de réactivité selon le type d’essai pratiqué et le type de cendres. Les résultats obtenus confirment l’intérêt de ce type de matériau, présent à grande échelle, pour améliorer les performances des ciments en Equateur ou dans d’autres régions volcaniques, notamment sur le plan environnemental.

description: Les géopolymères constituent l’une des alternatives au béton hydraulique à base de ciment Portland connu pour son aspect polluant. La présente étude a pour objectif d’étudier la faisabilité d’un béton géopolymère à base d’argile calcinée à température ambiante en l’activant par une solution de NaOH à 12 mol/l. Pour se faire, une partie de l’argile calcinée a été remplacée par des composés riches en CaO notamment le carbure de calcium résiduel (CCR), une chaux commerciale éteinte (LME) et une chaux commerciale vive (LMA) aux taux massiques de 0 à 25%. Les aspects étudiés sont les propriétés à l’état frais (ouvrabilité et temps de prise), la masse volumique et la résistance en compression à 7 et 14 jours. Les résultats indiquent que le temps de prise augmente avec l’ajout du CCR. Comparé à ce dernier, l’ajout de la chaux industrielle (LME ou LMA) tend à diminuer le temps de prise. Par ailleurs, l’ouvrabilité du béton diminue avec l’ajout du CCR alors que l’ajout de la chaux industrielle n’a pas d’effet significatif sur l’ouvrabilité du béton géopolymère qu’elle soit sous forme vive (LMA) ou éteinte (LME). La masse volumique des bétons restent légèrement inférieures à ceux des bétons ordinaires. En ce qui concerne les résistances à la compression, il en ressort que les taux optimaux de substitution de l’argile calcinée sont de 15% pour le CCR et le LME et 5% pour le LMA. Les résistances augmentent avec l’âge pour toutes les formulations.

description: O comportamento das equipes no ambiente de trabalho tóxico: as estratégias psicológicas para lidar com toxicidade da equipe laboral, mas analisar concretamente a percepção dos colaboradores sobre as condições adversas do ambiente de trabalho e como podem afetar o estado psicológico dos colaboradores. Tal análise toma por base a denominação ambiente de trabalho tóxico. Em ambientes corporativos altamente competitivos, muitas vezes, o profissional pode ser relegado ao simples papel de provedor de resultados sem considerar, neste ambiente, os objetivos pessoais e as condições psicológicas adversas a que as pessoas são submetidas. O estímulo da competitividade entre os colaboradores, as exigências impostas interferem diretamente na autoestima, gerando incertezas, aborrecimento e medo. São os objetivos deste trabalho mostrar a relação entre a implementação de estratégias psicológicas e a redução do comportamento tóxico nas equipes de trabalho, analisar a eficácia das estratégias psicológicas para lidar com equipes em ambientes de trabalho tóxicos, avaliar os impactos do comportamento tóxico nas equipes e na organização, explicar os mecanismos psicológicos subjacentes ao comportamento das equipes em ambientes de trabalho tóxicos. A metodologia utilizada foi conduzida por meio de elementos da pesquisa bibliográfica. Foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica para revisão e análise crítica da literatura existente sobre o comportamento das equipes no ambiente de trabalho tóxico e as estratégias psicológicas para lidar com essa realidade. A pesquisa bibliográfica permitirá uma análise aprofundada dos estudos, teorias, modelos e práticas existentes no campo da psicologia organizacional e do comportamento humano no trabalho. Neste estudo, abordou-se o comportamento das equipes em ambientes de trabalho tóxicos e a eficácia das estratégias psicológicas para lidar com essa questão. A análise destacou a complexidade do problema, os impactos negativos reconhecidos, a relevância social e organizacional e a necessidade de intervenções adequadas e sobre os mecanismos psicológicos subjacentes, como ameaça psicológica percebida e estresse ocupacional, bem como a importância da liderança autêntica e do desenvolvimento de habilidades interpessoais. Este estudo fornece uma visão abrangente sobre o comportamento das equipes em ambientes tóxicos e a eficácia das estratégias psicológicas. Para futuras pesquisas, é crucial explorar a eficácia prática dessas estratégias em ambientes de trabalho reais, contribuindo para a promoção de ambientes saudáveis e produtivos.

description: We calculate the decay rate of the lightest heavy Majorana neutrino in a thermal bath using finite temperature cutting rules and effective Green's functions according to the hard thermal loop resummation technique. Compared to the usual approach where thermal masses are inserted into the kinematics of final states, we find that deviations arise through two different leptonic dispersion relations. The decay rate differs from the usual approach by more than one order of magnitude in the temperature range which is interesting for the weak washout regime. This work summarizes the results of Ref. [1], to which we refer the interested reader.

description: La dernière Réglementation Environnementale (RE 2020) encourage le recours aux modes constructifs permettant le stockage temporaire du carbone comme c’est le cas des bétons à base de granulats végétaux. Les liants qui sont utilisés pour leur fabrication sont très souvent des chaux formulées qui contribuent de manière prépondérante à l’impact carbone global. Il est donc pertinent de privilégier l’utilisation de matériaux pouzzolaniques en combinaison avec une faible proportion de chaux hydratée pour la conception du liant. Tenant compte de la raréfaction des ressources minérales non renouvelables et du potentiel de la région Hauts-de-France, cette étude propose l’évaluation d’une nouvelle voie de valorisation des sédiments de dragage marins en association avec la chaux hydratée pour la formulation de liants bas-carbone. Trois sédiments issus du GPMD (Grand Port Maritime de Dunkerque) et de composition différente (proportion de la fraction sableuse et des fines argilo-limoneuses) ont été micronisés par broyage à jet d’air à lit fluidisé en visant un diamètre médian identique (de l’ordre de 2 microns). Ils ont constitué par la suite 70 à 90% en masse d’un liant chaux-sédiment conservé en conditions endogènes à 20°C ou 50°C. Le durcissement, la cinétique de réaction (chaux fixée par ATG) et les produits d’hydratation (DRX) ont été suivis jusqu’à 365 jours et le réseau poral (poro-Hg) a été examiné après 180 jours. Les résultats ont montré des écarts notables entre les performances mécaniques des liants selon le sédiment utilisé et une résistance à la compression de 13 MPa après 365 jours à 50°C avec le liant incorporant le sédiment le plus riche en quartz (⁓73% de SiO2). Par ailleurs, la teneur en chaux optimale s’est révélée être de 20% en masse du point de vue de la cinétique de durcissement jusqu’à 180 jours.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked financial devastation for airlines. As travel restrictions eases, it is important for airlines to gather and assess the opinions of passengers in order to meet new expectations. With the availability of online electronic platforms, it has become feasible to collect customer reviews on a large scale. Collecting, processing and deciphering textual data remain a challenge to most. This thesis details the collection of textual review data from SkyTrax and Trip Advisor. Subsequently, it demonstrates the use of quantitative sentiment scoring of the textual reviews, exploratory data analysis and statistical modelling to ascertain factors that affect passenger perceptions of airlines services. Specifically, we developed a linear mixed model with passengers and airline as random to rank various airlines with respect to sentiment scores, while confirming fixed factors which affect these scores. The application of this model allows for interpretability to the expectations and recommendations made by various passengers of airlines, measures the performance of airlines with respect to customer experience.
title: A Preliminary Experimental Study of the Turbulence Decay in the Wake of a Hemisphere in Free-Surface Flow
Creators: name: Lee, Jiin-jen
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1966

description: Flows observed in open channels are usually turbulent. The word "turbulent" describes a motion in which an irregular velocity fluctuation (mixing or eddying motion) is superimposed on the main stream motion. The essential characteristic of turbulent flow is that the turbulent fluctuations are random in nature.
If Reynold's rule of averaging is used, the Navier-Stokes equations for laminar flow may be transformed into the Reynold's equations, which hold true for turbulent mean motion. The solution of Reynold's equations will properly describe turbulent flow. Unfortunately, the number of unknowns exceeds the number of equations; therefore the use of mathematical method to solve turbulent flow problems is extremely difficult and not possible at present.
The details of turbulent flow are so complicated that a statistical approach must be used. Extensive research has been done in this regard during the last few decades. G. I. Taylor (1935) presented a statistical theory of turbulence based on the assumption of homogeneous isotropic turbulence. He introduced various concepts such as turbulence intensity, correlation coefficient, scale of turbulence, and energy spectrum. Kolmogoroff (1941) introduced the theory of locally isotropic turbulence. He postulated that turbulent motion at large Reynold's number is locally isotropic whether or not the large scale motions are isotropic. He also introduced the concept that the small scale motions are mainly governed by viscous forces and the amounts of energy which are handed down to them from the large eddies. Other investigations of isotropic turbulence have been made by Karman (1938), Heisenberg (1948), Lin (1948), etc. Even for the simplest type of turbulence (i.e. isotropic turbulence) , it is not possible to obtain the general solution to the equations because the details of turbulence are so complicated. Present knowledge about the statistical distribution of non-homogeneous turbulence is even less extensive. Therefore, before real use can be made of the statistical theory of turbulence much work must be done.

description: The development of alkali-activated materials for construction has grown over the past 20 years due to the reduction of environmental impact compared to cementitious materials. In case of materials with high calcium content (limestone) activated by soda solution (without silicate), it is possible, with an optimized formulation, to obtain mortars with compressive strength of 20MPa. The activation products are pirssonite and portlandite. However, due to their solubility, these materials lose much of their mechanical strength in high humidity environments. In order to resolve this problem, finely grinded glass, from recycling bottles, was added at different amounts. The impact of this addition was studied in terms of reaction process, fresh and hardened properties. The addition of grinded glass led to formation of new products, probably hydrated, which are responsible of a significant reduction of mortar porosity but the compressive strength, at 28 days, decreased overall 23% compared to mortars without grinded glass. However, the behavior in humidity environments was significantly improved and the compressive strength was maintained after a leaching test.

Assuming a particular factorization, we compute an n-point generating function and write it in terms of a Fredholm determinant. For long times the generating function converges to a limit, which is established to be equivalent to the standard expression of the n-point distribution of the Airy process.

description: Among the unique contributions made by Benjamin Britten to music literature are his Lehstuecke, or teaching plays, The Little Sweep and Noye's Fludde. Written in a style that has wide appeal for people of all ages, these opera-like forms have as their aim the fostering of enjoyment of music through participation and involvement in the performance.
This report deals with Noye's Fludde, its place in music history and in the music of Britten. Also discussed are the formal organization of the music and an analysis of the sections. The analysis includes the elements of text, melody, harmony, structure, orchestration, and coloristic devices employed by Britten.
It is the hope of the candidate that his brief summary and analysis will show the importance of Noye's Fludde in music history and choral music of the twentieth century.

description: Concrete recycling has become a major challenge for the construction industry. Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) in structural applications is limited due to their often lesser mechanical and durability performances. Alkali-silica reaction (RAS), in particular, is a pathology which could affect recycled concretes to an even larger extend than in the original concrete, due to the higher alkalis content of these aggregate. The present work attempts to study the effects of RCA carbonation in order to reduce the quantity of alkali hydroxides and the mobility of the alkali ions in the cement paste for preventing water-swelling gel formation. Concrete samples were produced from reactive natural aggregates, crushed at different expansion levels and the obtained RCA were submitted to CO2. Their alkali reactivity was assessed through an autoclave mortar bar test and comparison with not carbonated RCA and original natural aggregates was performed. Reactivity of carbonated RCA is less important that the one of original natural reactive aggregates, but however higher than the acceptable limit. Carbonation enables to still reduce this reactivity by 20 to 50%.

title: Organization and Administration of the State AAA Wrestling Tournament Held at Utah State University
Creators: name: Carlson, Robert Duane

description: Amateur wrestling is one of our finest interscholastic sports. Although it is one of many sports that involves both individual and team competition, the individual wrestler classified according to weight, seems to receive more recognition than in many other sports .
Hence, the ultimate of individual expression in wrestling is the tournament. The growing emphasis on multi-team wrestling tournaments, has presented a problem in organizing and administering such a tournament. Little has been done in the past to help the inexperienced coach obtain the necessary information needed to help him feel confident about volunteering to direct and host a tournament.
It is being recognized that the organization and administration of multi-team events is not something that is hit or miss, trial and error, or merely a matter of experience. There is evidence to show that well-organized sports competitions provide for increasingly better competition and allows more freedom to coaches, participants, and spectators.
The good organizer and/or administrator will get the job done by clear and exact procedures . It is hoped that this paper will be of some help in the multi-team tournament, both in organizing and coordinating of a team tournament.
At least a person possessing the ability to organize all the details prerequisite to a smooth running, successful tournament, is necessary. The athletic director, coach, or director of the tournament, cannot assume personal responsibility for all the myriad of details concerned with a well-organized wrestling tournament. He must delegate specific duties to other responsible, hard working, individuals
title: Energy Development and Differential Migration Intentions of High School Seniors in Rural Utah in 1975
Creators: name: Seyfrit, Carole L.

description: This analysis of the relationship between energy development and short and long-term migration intentions indicate that seniors in highly energy impacted counties are just as likely to intend to leave their counties as those in non-impacted counties. Furthermore, these findings apply to groupings of students based on father's occupation, student's educational aspirations, occupational aspirations, number of places lived, sex, and religion.
The findings were based on an analysis of survey data collected from about 900 1975 high school seniors in rural Utah. Level of energy impact was treated as a factor that might operate to increase economic opportunities and hold students to a community. The relationship was elaborated because of the possibility that energy development would be more likely to hold some groups of students to a greater degree than other groups. Lee's (1966) theoretical framework (and empirical research which studied various aspects of energy development and/or migration and migration differentials) was employed in constructing the hypothesis. The study suggests that rural leaders, interested in policies aimed at holding youth to their communities, will have to look beyond the creation of new employment possibilities and develop a different perspective of the decision making process in determining migration intentions of youth.

description: We consider the extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model by Dirac masses for the gauginos. We study the possibility that the same singlet that pairs up with the bino, to form a Dirac fermion, is used to generate mu and Bmu terms through its vacuum expectation value. For this purpose, we assume that, in the Higgs potential, the necessary R-symmetry breaking originates entirely from a superpotential term cubic in the singlet and discuss the implications for the spectrum of the model.

description: We present high resolution (R=55,000) optical spectra obtained with MIKE on the 6.5 m Magellan Clay Telescope as well as Spitzer MIPS photometry and IRS low resolution (R~60) spectroscopy of the close (14 AU separation) binary, HD 101088, a member of the ~12 Myr old southern region of the Lower Centaurus Crux (LCC) subgroup of the Scorpius-Centaurus OB association. We find that the primary and/or secondary is accreting from a tenuous circumprimary and/or circumsecondary disk despite the apparent lack of a massive circumbinary disk. We estimate a lower limit to the accretion rate of > 1x10^-9 solar masses per year, which our multiple observation epochs show varies over a timescale of months. The upper limit on the 70 micron flux allows us to place an upper limit on the mass of dust grains smaller than several microns present in a circumbinary disk of 0.16 moon masses. We conclude that the classification of disks into either protoplanetary or debris disks based on fractional infrared luminosity alone may be misleading.

description: Agricultural intensification has been driving declines in avian biodiversity across the globe, however, research has shown that human-managed agriculture lands can provide habitat and resources to avifauna in addition to supporting sustainable avian populations. Coffee agroforestry has been spotlighted as an agroecological system that supports the abundance and richness of avifauna, though there is limited research on whether these systems support breeding populations and how management decisions impact avian nest success. This study seeks to fill gaps in the literature by comparing avian reproducible success in a shaded coffee farm and a neighboring sun-grown coffee farm. It investigates whether differences in habitat heterogeneity impact nesting success by measuring canopy cover, and vertical structure, and constructing a complexity index. It was hypothesized that the less intensely managed shaded coffee agroforestry system would have a higher probability of daily nest success than the more intensely managed sun-grown coffee. Results from this study found that nests in the agroforestry system (n=25) had a 5% higher daily nest survival rate than nests found in the sun-grown coffee system (n=18). Additionally, results suggest a negative correlation between vertical structure surrounding the nest and the success of nests, implying a trade-off between nest concealment and risk of failure.

description: Les canalisations d’adduction d’eau en fonte ductile sont protégées par un revêtement cimentaire pouvant induire une augmentation transitoire du pH de l’eau. Ce phénomène dépend de différents paramètres, dont celui de l’équilibre calcocarbonique de l’eau en contact avec le revêtement. Cette étude vise à identifier et comprendre les interactions géochimiques entre une matrice cimentaire de CEM III et des eaux potables de différentes duretés. Il s’agit d’évaluer, en fonction de la composition chimique initiale de l’eau (i) les amplitudes et les cinétiques d’évolution du pH et de relargage d’ions cimentaires dans l’eau, et (ii) les mécanismes d’altération de la pâte de ciment. Les pâtes de CEM III ont été soumises à des essais de lixiviation par de l’eau ultra pure et de l’eau minéralisée. Ces essais ont été réalisés en batch successif avec renouvellement régulier de la solution pendant 1 mois. Le pH des solutions de lixiviation est suivi en continu et les concentrations en ions en solution sont analysées à chaque renouvellement. Les modifications minéralogiques, microstructurales et chimiques des matériaux lessivés sont analysées à la fin de l’expérience par DRX et MEB+EDS.

description: The Hipparcos orbiting observatory has revealed a large number of helium-core-burning "clump" stars in the Galactic field. These low-mass stars exhibit signatures of extra-mixing processes that require modeling beyond the first dredge-up of standard models. The 12C/13C ratio is the most robust diagnostic of deep mixing, because it is insensitive to the adopted stellar parameters. In this work we present 12C/13C determinations in a sample of 34 Galactic clump stars as well as abundances of nitrogen, carbon and oxygen. Abundances of carbon were studied using the C2 Swan (0,1) band head at 5635.5 A. The wavelength interval 7980-8130 A with strong CN features was analysed in order to determine nitrogen abundances and 12C/13C isotope ratios. The oxygen abundances were determined from the [O I] line at 6300 A. Compared with the Sun and dwarf stars of the Galactic disk, mean abundances in the investigated clump stars suggest that carbon is depleted by about 0.2 dex, nitrogen is enhanced by 0.2 dex and oxygen is close to abundances in dwarfs. Comparisons to evolutionary models show that the stars fall into two groups: the one is of first ascent giants with carbon isotope ratios altered according to the first dredge-up prediction, and the other one is of helium-core-burning stars with carbon isotope ratios altered by extra mixing. The stars investigated fall to these groups in approximately equal numbers.
