Etude du potentiel de valorisation energetique ou matiere de composes organiques extraits de lixiviats de dechets menagers

Les contraintes techniques et economiques induites par la gestion des lixiviats de dechets menagers et assimiles (LDMA) pourraient etre minimisees en considerant le LDMA non plus comme un dechet mais comme un co produit partiellement valorisable. Parmi la diversite des constituants des LDMA, la matiere organique dissoute (MOD) presente 2 interets majeurs une forte charge et des processus de transformations comparables a ceux de la matiere organique naturelle (MON) Ce travail de these s'attache donc a extraire cette MOD des LDMA selon son caractere hydrophobe et a identifier des axes de valorisation. Seules les fractions de type hydrophobe (HPO* et transphilique (TPH* de par leurs caracteristiques et leur reactivite, ont ete considerees dans cette etude et 2 voies de valorisation ont ete testees une valorisation energetique et une valorisation matiere par amendement sur un sol en deficit de carbone organique (Corg).La caracterisation des fractions de MOD anthropiques et leur comparaison a des fractions de MON a confirme l'interet majeur de leur valorisation. En effet, elles sont (i) physiquement et chimiquement comparables a la MON, (ii) quantifiables a des concentrations jusqu'a plus de 1000 fois superieures a la MON permettant ainsi un potentiel d'extraction consequent en comparaison aux matrices environnementales telles que les eaux de surface, et (iii) plus facilement biodegradables que la MON, tout en ne presentant aucun caractere phytotoxique avere.Un test BMP optimise et adapte au LDMA a ete developpe via un plan d'experience, puis utilise pour mettre en evidence l'impact du caractere hydrophobe de la MOD du LDMA sur la digestion anaerobie, et notamment la production de methane. Selon les resultats obtenus, les molecules organiques de type transphilique favorisent la production de biogaz. De plus, la fraction hydrophile, faiblement aromatique, diminue la teneur en methane du biogaz, contrairement a la fraction hydrophobe.Enfin, l'amendement de fractions organiques extraites de LDMA presente un reel interet dans le cas d'un sol initialement pauvre en Corg. La fraction HPO* permet un apport de Corg plus important compare a la fraction TPH* tandis que les composes transphiliques favorisent l'activite biologique du sol.Ce travail de these a ainsi mis en evidence l'interet d'extraire les fractions hydrophobe (HPO* et transphilique (TPH* de la MOD de LDMA afin de les engager dans des processus de valorisation energetique et agronomique.
Mask pressure effects on the nasal Bridge during noninvasive Ventilation: impact of mask design, Ventilator Settings and body position

Masks for noninvasive ventilation (NIV) must provide a good seal but can exert high pressure on the face, particularly over the nasal bridge (NB) which can limit treatment tolerability. We assessed the effects of different mask models, ventilator settings and body position on NB skin pressure.  The pressure exerted by the NIV mask on the NB was measured with an I Scan system in 20 healthy volunteers in a seated position with 4 different commercially available masks. Each mask was measured in a seated position with the NIV ventilator set at IPAP/EPAP: 15/5 cmH 2 0, 20/5 cmH 2 0 and 25/5 cmH 2 0 in a random order. Additionally NB pressure was measured in the supine position at 20/5 cmH 2 0. Air leak was kept  The 4 different masks resulted in very variable NB pressures between median 37 mmHg (IQR: 23 59) in an oronasal dual wall cushion mask and 94 mmHg (IQR: 53 129) in a gel cushioned mask. There was no significant change in NB pressure with the different IPAP levels. NB pressure was similar (3 masks) or significantly lower in the supine position (1 mask) Subjective discomfort was correlated with both, IPAP level and NB pressure.  Mask choice does not have to be adapted to the IPAP level. Mask fitting in the supine position can be considered in the clinical routine. A range of different masks should be available within an NIV service to reduce pressure effects over the nasal bridge.

Taking foreign policy personally personal values and foreign policy attitudes

Previous research shows that, when it comes to foreign policy, individuals have general orientations that inform their beliefs toward more specific issues in international relations. But such studies evade an even more important question: what gives rise to such foreign policy orientations in the first place? Combining an original survey on a nationally representative sample of Americans with Schwartz's theory of values from political psychology, we show that people take foreign policy personally: the same basic values that people use to guide choices in their daily lives also travel to the domain of foreign affairs. Conservation values are most strongly linked to "militant internationalism," a general hawkishness in international relations. The value of universalism is the most important value for predicting "cooperative internationalism," the foreign policy orientation marked by a preference for multilateralism and cosmopolitanism in international affairs. This relatively parsimonious and elegant system of values and foreign policy beliefs is consistent across both high and low knowledge respondents, offering one potential explanation for why those people who are otherwise uninformed about world politics nonetheless express coherent foreign policy beliefs.

Prototyping an Automated Video Surveillance System Using FPGAs

Because of increasing terrorist activities, the resolution of video cameras and the number of cameras deployed for surveillance are increasing exponentially producing huge amount of video data. Manual analysis of this large volume of video data by human operators for crime scene and forensic analysis is neither reliable nor scalable. This has generated enormous interest in research activities related to automation of video surveillance systems which allows real time automatic extraction and analysis of information from live incoming video streams and enables automatic detection and tracking of targets without human intervention. To meet the real time requirements of automated video surveillance systems, very different technologies and design methodologies have been used in literature. These range from use of General Purpose Processors (GPPs) or special purpose Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) or Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) or Applications Specific Instruction Set Processors (ASIPs) or even programmable logic devices like Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) FPGAs provide real time performance that is hard to achieve with GPPs/DSPs, limit the extensive design work, time, and cost required for ASICs, and allow algorithmic changes in later stages of system development. Due to these features FPGAs are being increasingly used for prototyping automated video surveillance system quickly. In this paper we present the top level description of a complete automated video surveillance system along with the elaboration of different challenges/issues involved in its design and implementation, a comparative analysis of design methodologies and existing FPGA platforms, complete design flow for prototyping the FPGA based automated video surveillance system, and details of various primary input/output interfaces required for designing smart automated video surveillance systems for future.
The Multifaceted Roles of HY5 in Plant Growth and Development.
Venue: Molecular plant

HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5) a member of the bZIP transcription factor family, inhibits hypocotyl growth and lateral root development, and promotes pigment accumulation in a light dependent manner in Arabidopsis. Recent research on its role in different processes such as hormone, nutrient, abiotic stress (abscisic acid, salt, cold) and reactive oxygen species signaling pathways clearly places HY5 at the center of a transcriptional network hub. HY5 regulates the transcription of a large number of genes by directly binding to cis regulatory elements. Recently, HY5 has also been shown to activate its own expression under both visible and UV B light. Moreover, HY5 acts as a signal that moves from shoot to root to promote nitrate uptake and root growth. Here, we review recent advances on HY5 research in diverse aspects of plant development and highlight still open questions that need to be addressed in the near future for a complete understanding of its function in plant signaling and beyond.

Urease immobilized polymer hydrogel: Long term stability and enhancement of enzymatic activity.
Venue: Journal of colloid and interface science

A method has been developed in which an enzyme namely urease was immobilized inside hydrogel matrix to study the stability and enzymatic activity in room temperature ~27 30degC) This urease coupled hydrogel (UCG) was obtained by amine acid coupling reaction and this procedure is such that it ensured the wider opening of mobile flap of enzyme active site. A systematic comparison of urea urease assay and the detailed kinetic data clearly revealed that the urease shows activity for more than a month when stored at ~27 30degC in case of UCG whereas it becomes inactive in case of free urease (enzyme in buffer solution) The aqueous microenvironment inside the hydrogel, unusual morphological features and thermal behaviour were believed to be the reasons for unexpected behaviour. UCG displayed enzyme activity at basic pH and up to 60degC. UCG showed significant enhancement in activity against thermal degradation compared to free urease. In summary, this method is a suitable process to stabilize the biomacromolecules in standard room temperature for many practical uses.
Academic Cloud ERP Quality Assessment Model

In the past few decades, educational institutions have been using conventional academic ERP system to integrate and optimize their business process. In this delivery model, each educational institutions are responsible of their own data, installation, and also maintenance. For some institutions, it might cause not only waste of resources, but also problems in management and financial aspects. Cloud based Academic ERP, a SaaS based ERP system, begin to come as a solution with is virtualization technology. It allows institutions to use only the needed ERP resources, without any specific installation, integration, or maintenance needs. As the implementation of Cloud ERP increases, problems arise on how to evaluate this system. Current evaluation approaches are either only evaluating the cloud computing aspects or only evaluating the software quality aspects. This paper proposes an assessment model for Cloud ERP system, considering both software quality characteristics and cloud computing attributes to help strategic decision makers evaluate academic Cloud ERP system.
AMA: Static Code Analysis of Web Page for the Detection of Malicious Scripts

JavaScript language, through its dynamic feature, provides user interactivity with websites. It also pose serious security threats to both user and website. On top of this, obfuscation is widely used to hide its malicious purpose and to evade the detection of antivirus software. Malware embedded in web pages is regularly used as part of targeted attacks. To hinder detection by antivirus scanners, the malicious code is usually obfuscated, often with encodings like hexadecimal, unicode, base64, escaped characters and rarely with substitution ciphers like Vigenere, Caesar and Atbash. The malicious iframes are injected to the websites using JavaScript and are also made hidden from the users perspective in order to prevent detection. To defend against obfuscated malicious JavaScript code, we propose a mostly static approach called, AMA, Amrita Malware Analyzer, a framework capable of detecting the presence of malicious code through static code analysis of web page. To this end, the framework performs probable plaintext attack using strings likely contained in malicious web pages. But this approach targets only few among many possible obfuscation strategies. The evaluation based on the links provided in the Malware domain list demonstrates high level accuracy
Modern Web Page Generation by Using Exclusively SuperSQL
Venue: IDEAS

Generation of modern web pages is a difficult task for novice programmers because requiring to be familiar with many programming languages, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc. SuperSQL, a project of Toyama laboratory, is an extension of SQL that automatically formats data retrieved from the database into various kinds of structured documents as an output of a query. In this paper, we propose an approach to generate a modern web page by uniquely using a single SuperSQL query. We propose to change the semantic of SuperSQL by defining 5 kinds of expressions: layout expression, function expression, design expression, dynamic expression, and responsive expression. By this approach, we show that we can generate modern web pages with various expressions by short query sentence.
A pooled analysis of post diagnosis lifestyle factors in association with late estrogen receptor positive breast cancer prognosis
Venue: International journal of cancer

Lifestyle factors have been well studied in relation to breast cancer prognosis overall; however, associations of lifestyle and late outcomes >5 years after diagnosis) have been much less studied, and no studies have focused on estrogen receptor positive (ER+ breast cancer survivors, who may have high risk of late recurrence and mortality. We utilized a large prospective pooling study to evaluate the associations of lifestyle factors with late recurrence and all cause mortality among 6,295 5 year ER+ Stage I III breast cancer survivors. Pooled and harmonized data were available on clinical factors and lifestyle factors (pre to post diagnosis weight change, body mass index (BMI) (kg/m2) recreational physical activity, alcohol intake and smoking history) measured on average 2.1 years after diagnosis. Updated information for weight only was available. Study heterogeneity was evaluated by the Q statistic. Multivariable Cox regression models were stratified by study. Adjusting for clinical factors and potential confounders, =10% weight gain and obesity (BMI, 30 34.99 and =35) were associated with increased risk of late recurrence (hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) 1.24 (1.00 1.53) 1.40 (1.05 1.86) and 1.41 (1.02 1.93) respectively) Daily alcohol intake was associated with late recurrence, 1.28 (1.01 1.62) Physical activity was inversely associated with late all cause mortality (0.81 (0.71 0.93) and 0.71 (0.61 0.82) for 4.9 to <17.4 and =17.4 metabolic equivalent hr/week) A U shaped association was observed for late all cause mortality and BMI using updated weight (1.42 (1.15 1.74) and 1.40 (1.09 1.81) <21.5 and =35, respectively) Smoking was associated with increased risk of late outcomes. In this large prospective pooling project, modifiable lifestyle factors were associated with late outcomes among long term ER+ breast cancer survivors.
Effect of Different Cultural Conditions for Phytase Production by Aspergillus niger in Submerged Fermentation

In agriculture, phytase is one of the most important monogastric animal sources of nutrient components because it effectively catalyzes the release of phosphate from phytate and phosphorylated compounds. In present work, Aspergillus niger strain (own collection) was used. Various physical and chemical factors have been known to affect the growth and the production of phytase. The effect of carbon and nitrogen sources, temperature and pH for extra cellular phytase production was investigated. Maximal phytase activity of Aspergillus niger was detected in media with 1.0% sucrose as a carbon source. Among the inorganic and organic nitrogen sources, ammonium nitrate in concentration of 0.5% was found to be a favorable nitrogen source for phytase production in Aspergillus niger. Optimum temperature and pH for phytase production by Aspergillus niger were 30degC and 5.5.

EORTC QLQ COMU26: a questionnaire for the assessment of communication between patients and professionals. Phase III of the module development in ten countries
Venue: Supportive Care in Cancer

PurposeCommunication between patients and professionals is one major aspect of the support offered to cancer patients. The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Group (QLG) has developed a cancer specific instrument for the measurement of different issues related to the communication between cancer patients and their health care professionals.MethodsQuestionnaire development followed the EORTC QLG Module Development Guidelines. A provisional questionnaire was pre tested (phase III) in a multicenter study within ten countries from five cultural areas (Northern and South Europe, UK, Poland and Taiwan) Patients from seven subgroups (before, during and after treatment, for localized and advanced disease each, plus palliative patients) were recruited. Structured interviews were conducted. Qualitative and quantitative analyses have been performed.ResultsOne hundred forty patients were interviewed. Nine items were deleted and one shortened. Patients' comments had a key role in item selection. No item was deleted due to just quantitative criteria. Consistency was observed in patients' answers across cultural areas. The revised version of the module EORTC QLQ COMU26 has 26 items, organized in 6 scales and 4 individual items. EORTC COMU26 questionnaire can be used in daily clinical practice and research, in various patient groups from different cultures. The next step will be an international field test with a large heterogeneous group of cancer patients.
Mesenchymal stem cell therapy associated with endurance exercise training: Effects on the structural and functional remodeling of infarcted rat hearts.
Venue: Journal of molecular and cellular cardiology

We tested the effects of early mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy associated with endurance exercise on the structural and functional cardiac remodeling of rats with myocardial infarctation (MI) Male Wistar rats (40 days old) were divided into 6 groups: control and exercise sham; control and exercise MI; and control and exercise MI MSC. MI was surgically induced and bone marrow derived MSCs were immediately injected via caudal vein (concentration: 1 x 10(6 )cells) Twenty four hours later ET groups exercised on a treadmill (5 days/week; 60 min/day; 60% of maximal running velocity) for 12 weeks. Structural and functional changes were determined by echocardiography. Contractility and intracellular global calcium [Ca(2 ]i) transient were measured in myocytes from the left ventricular (LV) non infarcted area. Calcium regulatory proteins were measured by Western blot. MI increased (p 0.05) heart, ventricular and LV weights and its ratios to body weight; LV internal dimension in diastole (LVID D) and in systole (LVID S) and LV free wall in diastole (LVFW D) but reduced the thickness of interventricular septum in systole (IVS S) ejection fraction (EF) and fractional shortening (FS) MI augmented (p 0.05) the times to peak and to half relaxation of cell shortening as well as the amplitude of the [Ca(2 ]i transient and the times to peak and to half decay. Early MSCs therapy restored LVFW D, IVS S and the amplitude and time to half decay of the [Ca(2 ]i transient. Early endurance exercise intervention increased (p 0.05) LVFW S, IVS S, EF and FS, and reduced the times to peak and to half relaxation of cell shortening, and the amplitude of the [Ca(2 ]i transient. Exercise training also increased the expression of left ventricular SERCA2a and PLBser16. Nevertheless, the combination of these therapies did not cause additive effects. In conclusion, combining early MSCs therapy and endurance exercise does not potentiate the benefits of such treatments to structural and functional cardiac remodeling in infarcted rats.
