Abstract:

Dans un contexte de renouvellement de l'industrie chimique et de recherche de nouveaux débouchés pour la foresterie, les extractibles deviennent des molécules de plus en plus intéressantes, tant écologiquement que financièrement parlant. Afin d'évaluer la pertinence de ces molécules comme nouvelle ressource pour la chimie et potentiel débouché pour la foresterie, il est nécessaire de faire une évaluation préalable de la ressource. Ceci nécessite de connaître le volume des compartiments riches en extractibles, particulièrement les écorces et les nœuds. La présente étude s'intéresse donc à la modélisation des volumes d'écorce et de nœuds. Elle se concentre spécifiquement sur deux régions françaises, le Grand Est et la Bourgogne-Franche-Comté et six essences d'importance, Abies alba, Picea abies, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Quercus robur, Quercus patraea, Fagus sylvatica.Cette étude est rendue possible grâce à l'utilisation d'une grande base de données comprenant des mesures d'épaisseur d'écorce pratiquées à différentes hauteurs sur la tige de nombreux arbres. D'autre part de nouveaux échantillonnages ont eu lieu ce qui a permis d'obtenir, grâce à l'utilisation d'un scanner à rayon X, une image informatique des nœuds et d'en mesurer précisément le volume.Afin de modéliser la quantité d'écorce disponible trois types de modèles ont été construits, des modèles de prédiction du volume d'écorce, des modèles de prédiction de la surface d'écorce le long de la tige et des modèles de prédiction de l'épaisseur d'écorce à 1m30. Les premiers ont permis d'atteindre une racine de l'erreur quadratique moyenne relative (RMSErel) comprise entre 16.7 % et 27.5 % en fonction des espèces.L'étude portant sur les modèles de surface d'écorce a permis de mettre en évidence la possibilité d'utiliser un modèle indépendant du diamètre-sur-écorce mais que les modèles utilisant en entrée cet variable sont encore plus précis. Le RMSErel atteint par ces modèles de surface d'écorce varie entre 23 et 38 % en fonction de l'espèce et du modèle considéré. Ce travail a montré l'importance de l'utilisation de l'épaisseur d'écorce à 1m30 comme donnée d'entrée. Celle-ci n'étant aujourd'hui que rarement mesurée, elle a aussi été modélisée à partir du D130. Cela a permis de mettre en évidence une influence de l'altitude sur l'épaisseur d'écorce à 1m30 pour trois espèces : Abies alba, Picea abies, Fagus sylvatica. Les modèles obtenus atteignent un RMSErel allant de 26.8 % à 36 % en fonction de l'espèce considérée.Enfin, les volumes de nœuds ont commencé à être étudiés. Bien que ce travail n'ai pas été entièrement mené, il montre déjà l'importance de produire de nouveaux modèles de volume de nœuds. De plus leur quantité dans le bois semble, à ce stade de l'étude, trop peu importante pour dégager de grandes ressources en extractible, malgré leur grande richesse intrinsèque. Leur intérêt pourrait donc plus se trouver dans l'extraction de molécules spécifiques
In a context of renewal of the chemical industry and the search for new outlets for forestry, extractives are becoming increasingly interesting molecules, both ecologically and financially speaking. In order to evaluate the relevance of these molecules as a new resource for the chemical industry and a potential outlet for forestry, it is necessary to make a preliminary evaluation of the resource. This requires knowledge of the volume of compartments rich in extractable material, particularly bark and knots. The present study therefore focuses on modeling bark and knot volumes. It focuses specifically on two French regions, the Grand Est and the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, and on six important species, Abies alba, Picea abies, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Quercu robur, Quercus patraea, and Fagus sylvatica.This study is made possible, on one hand, by the use of a large database including numerous measurements of bark thickness made at different heights on the stems of many trees. On the other hand, new samplings have been made to allow X-ray scanning of nodes all along the stem and thus to determine precisely the volume on a computer picture.In order to model the available amount of bark, three types of models were built, models predicting the volume of bark, models predicting the surface area of bark along the stem and models predicting the thickness of bark at 1m30. The former achieved a relative root mean square error (RMSErel) of 16.7% to 27.5% depending on the species.The study of bark area models showed that it was possible to use a model independent of diameter-over-bark but that model using this variable are more accurate. The RMSErel achieved by these bark area models varied between 23 and 38% depending on the species and model considered.This work showed the importance of using the bark thickness at 1m30 as an input data. As it is rarely measured today, it was also modelled using the DBH. This allowed us to show the influence of altitude on bark thickness at 1.30 m for three species: Abies alba, Picea abies, Fagus sylvatica. The models obtained RMSErel of the models ranged from 26.8 to 36 % of RMSErel depending on the species considered.Finally, knot volumes have started to be studied. Although this work has not been fully completed, it already shows the importance of producing new models in order to fit the predicted knot patterns as closely as possible to reality. Moreover, the quantity of these compounds in the wood seems, at this stage of the study, to be too small to provide a large extractable resource, despite their great intrinsic richness. Their interest could therefore be more in the extraction of specific molecules

Abstract:

Ces travaux de thèse décrivent l’étude et la réalisation de résonateurs MEMS (Micro-ElectroMechanical Systems) acoustiques à couplage capacitif dits C-BAR (Capacitive Bulk Acoustic Resonator). Les C-BAR exploitent les modes d’extension-compression d’épaisseur en mode fondamental à 9, 45MHz. L’élément vibrant est constitué de Si-monocristallin purement résistif et d’orientation (100). Notre but consiste à transposer au monde des MEMS a` excitation capacitive les caractéristiques de stabilité des résonateurs piézoélectriques BAW utilisés dans les sources de fréquences embarquées. Notre stratégie de développement s’est fondée sur l’exploitation de deux concepts originaux dans les domaines respectifs électrique et acoustique : l’intérêt immédiat des résonateurs MEMS-Si capacitifs tient à la disponibilité du matériau, au faible coût unitaire, à la produire à grande échelle, ainsi qu’à la robustesse. A plus longue échéance, cet intérêt tient au potentiel d’intégration avec l’électronique de commande ; Cette recherche est motivée par la nécessité d’éliminer les pertes structurelles dans les résonateurs MEMS. Grâce à l’étude de la dispersion acoustique des ondes élastiques guidées dans une plaque de Si, nous avons pu contrôler les bandes d’arrêt par modification locale des caractéristiques de la propagation afin de confiner l’énergie acoustique au centre du résonateur. Une première partie de ces travaux est consacrée à la modélisation du C-BAR. Grâce à des simulations FEM appuyées sur des calculs analytiques, nous avons défini les limites imposées aux paramètres constructifs pour l’obtention de performances satisfaisantes pour les applications visées. Nous avons notamment quantifié le nécessaire compromis entre les quantités antagonistes constituées par le k2, limité par la rigidité statique de la plaque, et le Q, limité par les constantes de dispersion des modes exploités et le facteur d’aspect de la plaque. La deuxième partie est consacrée à la micro-fabrication du C-BAR exploitant les micro techniques disponibles au sein de la Centrale MIMENTO
This PhD work describes the study and realization of capacitive Bulk Acoustic Waves MEMS resonators (C-BAR) exploiting the thicknessextensional vibration modes at 9, 45MHz of a mono-crystalline silicon plate (100). The aim of this research consists in translated to the domain of capacitive MEMS the good performances of BAW resonators for embedded frequency sources. The proposed work proposes new resonant structures bearing some originality from electric and acoustic viewpoints : capacitive full Si-MEMS have some immediate interest in the field of material availability, low cost per item, volume production and robustness, notwithstanding their know ability for electronic integration ; This research was motivated by the need to eliminate structural losses to reach the limits imposed by the material itself. With help of a study of dispersion curves, we managed a control of acoustic confinement by means of a local patterning of the surface of the vibrating element. By a proper mastering of the stop band of guided elastic waves in the structure, we can overcome the intrinsic limitations of structural MEMS. The first lock of this work is dedicated to the modeling of the C-BARs. It uses a combination of analytic and FEA calculations to frame the actual design of the resonators. This permits us to determine the limits imposed to the performances of such structures. This part especially points out the contradictory requirements of the C-BARs in terms of electromechanical coupling factor and of surtension coefficient. The second lock describes the issues of the micro-fabrication of the C-BARs at MIMENTO clean room facility

Abstract:

The present study considers steady laminar two-dimensional incompressible flow over both in-line and staggered flat tube bundles used in heat exchanger applications. The effects of various independent parameters, such as Reynolds number (Re), Prandtl number (Pr), length ratio (L/Da), and height ratio (H/Da), on the pressure drop and heat transfer were studied. A finite volume based FORTRAN code was developed to solve the governing equations. The scalar and velocity variables were stored at staggered grid locations. Scalar variables (pressure and temperature) and all thermophysical properties were stored at the main grid location and velocities were stored at the control volume faces. The solution to a one-dimensional convection diffusion equation was represented by the power law. The locations of grid points were generated by the algebraic grid generation technique. The curvilinear velocity and pressure fields were linked by the Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations (SIMPLE) algorithm. The line-by-line method, which is a combination of the Tri-Diagonal Matrix Algorithm (TDMA) and the Gauss-Seidel procedure, was used to solve the resulting set of discretization equations. The result of the study established that the flow is observed to attain a periodically fully developed profile downstream of the fourth module. The strength increases and the size of the recirculation gets larger as the Reynolds number increases. As the height ratio increases, the strength and size of the recirculation decreases because the flow has enough space to expand through the tube passages. The increase in length ratio does not significantly impact the strength and size of the recirculation. The non-dimesionalized pressure drop monotonically decreased with an increase in the Reynolds number. In general, the module average Nusselt number increases with an increase in the Reynolds number. The results at Pr = 7.0 indicate a significant increase in the computed module average Nusselt number when compared to those for Pr = 0.7. The overall performance of in-line configuration for lower height ratio (H/Da = 2) and higher length ratio (L/Da = 6) is preferable since it provides higher heat transfer rate for all Reynolds numbers except for the lowest Re value of 25. As expected the staggered configurations perform better than the in-line configuration from the heat transfer point of view.

Abstract:

The global foreign exchange market is the largest financial market with turnover in this market often outstripping the GDP of countries in which they are located. The dynamics in the foreign exchange market, especially price dynamics, have huge implications for financial asset values, financial returns and volatility in the international financial system. It is therefore an important area of study. Exchange rates have often departed significantly from the level implied by fundamentals and exhibit excessive volatility. This reality creates a role for central bank intervention in this market to keep the rate in line with economic fundamentals and the overall policy mix, to stabilize market expectations and to calm disorderly markets. Studies that attempt to measure the effectiveness of intervention in the foreign exchange market in terms of exchange rate trends and volatility have had mixed results. This, in many cases, reflects the unavailability of data and the weaknesses in the empirical frameworks used to measure effectiveness. This thesis utilises the most recent data available and some of the latest methodological advances to measure the effectiveness of central bank intervention in the foreign exchange markets of a variety of countries. It therefore makes a contribution in the area of applied empirical methodologies for the measurement of the dynamics of intervention in the foreign exchange market. It demonstrates that by using high frequency data and more robust and appropriate empirical methodologies central bank intervention in the foreign exchange market can be effective. Moreover, a framework that takes account of the interactions between different central bank policy instruments and price dynamics, the reaction function of the central bank, different states of the market, liquidity in the market and the profitability of the central bank can improve the effectiveness of measuring the impact of central bank policy in the foreign exchange market and provide useful information to policy makers.

Abstract:

The bank vole (Microtus arvalis) develops glucose intolerance both when kept in captivity and in the wild state. Glucose intolerant bank voles kept in captivity exhibited polydipsia, polyuria, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, islet autoantibodies and a markedly changed islet structure resembling so–called hydropic degeneration. Islets showing hydropic degeneration have reduced β–cell mass. However, the relative islet size to total pancreas area was not changed. Pancreatic islet isolated from glucose intolerant bank voles had an altered islet function showing signs of being exposed to an increased functional demand on their β–cells. Also, islets from male bank voles seem more affected than the islets from females. Islets isolated from glucose tolerant male bank voles cultured for 5 days at 28 mM glucose did not reveal any change in insulin gene expression or insulin biosynthesis rate. However, islets from female bank voles displayed a glucose concentration dependent response. This suggests that there is gender difference in that, islets of female more easily than islets of males adapt to elevated glucose concentration. Furthermore, islets isolated from glucose tolerant males had reduced insulin gene expression after exposure to proinflammatory cytokines for 48 hrs. This effect seemed to be NO-independent since only a minor elevation of nitrite accumulation in the medium was seen, and the use of iNOS inhibitor could not counteract the cytokine effect. The observed response seen in bank vole islets upon exposure to various glucose concentrations or proinflammatory cytokines is similar to those seen in studies of human islets. The bank vole may therefore represent a novel animal model for the study of diabetes. An unresolved issue is the role of the Ljungan virus which is found in the bank vole colony. Bank voles developing glucose intolerance display features of both human type 1 and type 2 diabetes, where environmental factors seems to play an important role as determinant. Our findings suggest that bank voles bred in the laboratory may develop more of a type 2 diabetes. However, bank voles caught in nature instead may rather develop a type 1 form of the disease.

Abstract:

Subsurface volume loss takes place in many geotechnical situations, and it is inherently accompanied by complex stress and displacement fields that may influence the performance of engineered geosystems. This research is a deformation-centered analysis, it depends on soil compressibility and it is implemented using finite elements. Soil stiffness plays a central role in predicting ground deformation. First, an enhanced Terzaghi’s soil compressibility model is proposed to satisfy asymptotic conditions at low and high stress levels with a small number of physically meaningful parameters. Then, the difference between small and large strain stiffness is explored using published small and large-strain stress-strain data. Typically, emphasis is placed on the laboratory-measured stiffness or compressibility; however, there are pronounced differences between laboratory measurements and field values, in part due to seating effects that prevail in small-thickness oedometer specimens. Many geosystems are subjected to repetitive loads; volumetric strains induced by drained repetitive ko-loads are experimentally investigated to identify shakedown and associated terminal density. The finite element numerical simulation environment is used to explore the effect of localized subsurface mass loss on free-surface deformation and shallow foundations settlement and bearing capacity. A stress relaxation module is developed to reproduce the change in stress associated to dissolution features and soft zone formation. The comprehensive parametric study is summarized in terms of dimensionless ratios that can be readily used for engineering applications. Field settlement data gathered at the Savannah River Site SRS are back-analyzed to compare measured values with predictions based on in situ shear wave velocity and strain-dependent stiffness reduction. The calibrated model is used to estimate additional settlements due to the pre-existing cavities, new cavities, and potential seismic events during the design life of the facility.

The research is to understand the correlation between loan volumes of domestic banks and macroeconomy. In order to analyze the correlation, the statistics of money supply, industrial production index, unemployment rate, consumer price index, and TAIEX between the year of 2005 and 2014. Empirical results indicate that bank loan plays a vital role in economic development. Therefore, the government aggressively encourage banks to grant loans to quality customers. In order to understand if there is a correlation between loan volumes and macroeconomic, the methods of ADF, VAR, Causality Test, Impulse Response Analysis, and Variance Decomposition are implied.

As an island-type economy, foreign trade is the main driving force of economic growth for Taiwan. Bank is the major settlement channel of cash flow for international enterprises. By engaging in trade finance, banks can increase their total earnings through the collection of transaction fees, exchange gains and interest income. This research examines the current status of trade finance for Taiwanese banks. It also explores the factors affecting trade volumes for trade finance. We hope to provide constructive suggestions for the banks to increase foreign exchange earnings and market share, thereby strengthening their competitiveness and operating performance. This thesis first analyzes external environment. It then adopts a resource-based view to investigate the bank’s internal operation and identify the critical success factors, which are further confirmed by trade specialists having at least ten years of practical trade experience. Our investigation reveals that the top three critical success factors for trade finance are customized capability, professional competence and appropriate banking systems and policies. The capability to customize is the most important. Nonetheless, this capability is based on professional competence. It is also closely linked to appropriate banking systems and policies. Therefore, all three factors are indispensable to ensure the success of trade finance.

Abstract:

O seguinte projeto, construído para a dissertação de mestrado, tem como objetivo analisar o livro Chronicles: Volume One, escrito pelo compositor norte-americano Bob Dylan, sob a perspectiva da memória cultural. Para atingir este objetivo, o trabalho foi dividido em quatro capítulos. No primeiro capítulo, intitulado “Bob Dylan, a vida e a obra”, as origens do cantor e sua trajetória artística foram expostas para, em seguida, abordar o livro Chronicles: Volume One, desde sua concepção até sua estrutura narrativa. No segundo capítulo os estudos de memória e de cultura são tratados por meio de seus principais conceitos e autores, como a Memória Coletiva de Maurice Halbwachs, os Lugares de Memória de Pierre Nora, e a Análise de Cultura de Raymond Williams. No terceiro capítulo, a análise documental como metodologia de investigação foi apresentada para, em seguida, desenvolver a análise dos capítulos do livro Chronicles, que consiste em compreender como os conceitos de memória e a tradição seletiva se manifestam dentro dos trechos selecionados onde Dylan discorre sobre suas perspectivas culturais e sobre os lugares e as pessoas que contribuíram para seu amadurecimento artístico. O trabalho é concluído com uma reflexão acerca da importância desta obra para a preservação da memória cultural a partir das conclusões tiradas da análise da obra, e também da relação dos estudos de memória com o registro autobiográfico
The following project, written for the master's thesis, aims to analyze the book Chronicles: Volume One, written by the American composer Bob Dylan, from the perspective of Cultural Memory. To achieve this goal, this project was divided into four chapters. In the first chapter, entitled “Bob Dylan, life and work”, the singer's origins and his artistic trajectory were analysed as to, then, address the book Chronicles: Volume One, from its conception to its narrative structure. In the second chapter, memory and culture studies deal with their main concepts and authors, such as Maurice Halbwachs’ Collective Memory, Pierre Nora’s Places of Memory, and the Analysis of Culture by Raymond Williams. In the third chapter, document analysis as a research methodology was presented so as to develop the analysis of the chapters of the book Chronicles, which consists of understanding how the concepts of memory and selective tradition are manifested within the selected excerpts where Dylan discusses his perspectives on culture and the places and people who contributed to his artistic maturation. This project concludes with a reflection on the importance of this project for the preservation of cultural memory based on the conclusions drawn from the exploration of the object of study, and also on the relationship between memory studies and the autobiographical record.

During the studying period, students shop the welfare store quite often. To most of the students, the welfare store is an indispensable place in the campus. In all the sale products, the demand of perishable products takes the highest percentage. However, its ordering and storage control is always a perplexed problem. Thus, this research targets the forecast of sales volume of dairy products as the study issue to improve the management problem of a welfare store. The proposed model for the prediction integrates the grey theory, regression analysis and back-propagation neural network (BPN). First, the grey relational analysis is used to compute the grey relationship between the quantitative factors and sales volume. Secondly, a grey forecasting model is employed for the prediction of the quantitative factor, which has the highest grey relational value, and further the predicted value is regarded as an input of the following regression analysis. The regression analysis is to generate an equation for sales volume prediction. Besides, this research utilizes an expert questionnaire and the grey statistics to gain the influence of the non-quantitative factors. Finally, the BPN makes the prediction for the dairy products based on the quantitative and non-quantitative data. From the results, this research confirms that the grey forecasting model can improve the prediction accuracy of the regression analysis to time series data. Furthermore, the grey statistics allows the involvement of non-quantitative information to reduce the prediction error such that decision maker can do right judgment for ordering and storage control. In the experiments, there are two different types of input data used. One type is the original data set containing the whole transaction data from Monday to Sunday; the other type is the data set containing only the same day’s data. According to the results, the prediction errors of the BPN are 9.128%, 10.5421%, 12.9221% and 16.0294%, respectively, for these two different types of data sets.

The spread between loan and deposit relates the issue of price, whereas the interrelationship between the amounts of loan and deposit is the issue of volume. Both issues are key factors affecting the performance of bank operation. Concerning the volume issue, this study uses T-bank as sample for proxy for the general banking industry to investigate the long run and short run dynamic relationship between the amounts of loan and deposit. The methodologies include MTAR and MTECM elaborated by Enders and Granger (1998) and Enders and Siklos (2001), which are employed for the nonlinear asymmetric threshold cointegration and long run and short run dynamic Granger causality tests for the amounts of loan and deposit. The empirical finding shows that not any ‘lead-lag’ causal relation found in the short run when considering the asymmetric threshold effect. However, the uni-directional short run causal relation from the amount of deposit to the amount of loan (at the 1% significant level) exists in the ECM modeling. For the long run relationship, the amount of deposit also leads the amount of loan when the previous disequilibrium between them is too large and over a threshold level. The overall analyses by T-bank evidence illustrate that increasing and decreasing of the amount of deposit in T-bank will affect the amount of loan of T-bank during the short run and the long run when the amounts of deposit and loan depart too far. However, the amounts of deposit and loan are mutual independent when they are getting closer. Our finding hopefully can offer good references for government in making interest rate policy for financial industry and for professional financial institutes in controlling their deposit and loan.
