Full textNanorobots represent a nanoscale devices where proteins such as DNA, carbon nanotubes could act as motors, mechanical joints, transmission elements, or sensors. When these different components were assembled together they can form nanorobots with multi-degree-of-freedom, able to apply forces and manipulate objects in the nanoscale world. In this work, we investigated the design, assembly, simulation, and prototyping of biological and artificial molecular structures with the goal of implementing their internal nanoscale movements within nanorobotic systems in an optimized manner. The thesis focuses, mainly on two approaches. The first one involves multiscale modeling tools (quantum mechanics, molecular dynamics, continuum mechanics) coupled to virtual reality advanced techniques. In order to design and evaluate the characteristics of molecular robots, we proposed interactive nanophysics-based simulation which permits manipulation of molecules, proteins and engineered materials in molecular dynamics simulations with real-time force feedback and graphical display. The second approach uses a novel co-prototyping methodology. The optimization of engineered nanorobotic device is coupled to experimental measurements and force field modeling algorithms

Full textA process for the production of biobased bituminous binders by hydrothermal conversion of microlagal biomass is investigated in perspective of the post petroleum era. The hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) process used is characterized by a moderate temperature of 260°C, resulting in a subcritical state of the water media. An instrumented reactor, thermally controlled, has been developed. It allows studying the impact of both the residence time and the heating and cooling steps on the formation process of biobitumen. Its composition results from a hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) step during heating, followed by a liquefaction step during the isotherm at 260°C. The rheological properties of the hydrophobic material obtained are strongly influenced by the fraction of solid residues. These later partially consist of minerals presumably coming from the microalgae cultivation media. With a view to model the thermokinetics of the process, an energy balance allowed estimating the exothermic reaction enthalpy form measurements made on the reactor. Concurrently, the concept of reaction ordinate allowed comparing the processing conditions leading to biobitumen, to those leading to biochar by HTC, biocrude by HTL, but also to petroleum and pyrobitumen formed by the geological processes that inspires HTL

Full textThis Ph.D. thesis is particularly intended to treat two types of problems : clustering and the multiple alignment of sequence. Our objective is to solve efficiently these global problems and to test DC Programming approach and DCA on real datasets. The thesis is divided into three parts : the first part is devoted to the new approaches of nonconvex optimization-global optimization. We present it a study in depth of the algorithm which is used in this thesis, namely the programming DC and the algorithm DC ( DCA). In the second part, we will model the problem clustering in three nonconvex subproblems. The first two subproblems are distinguished compared to the choice from the norm used, (clustering via norm 1 and 2). The third subproblem uses the method of the kernel, (clustering via the method of the kernel). The third part will be devoted to bioinformatics, one goes this focused on the modeling and the resolution of two subproblems : the multiple alignment of sequence and the alignment of sequence of RNA. All the chapters except the first end in numerical tests

Full textSince the early 1960s, the growth of yellowfin has been enjoyed a particular attention both in the research field and for fisheries management. In the Indian Ocean, the management of yellowfin stock, under the jurisdiction of the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC), suffers from much uncertainty associated with the growth curve currently considered. In particular, there remain gaps in our knowledge of basic biological and ecological processes regulating growth. Their knowledge is however vital for understanding the stocks productivity and their resilience abilities to fishing pressure and oceanographic changes underway.Through modelling, this study aims to improve current knowledge on the growth of yellowfin population of the Indian Ocean and thus strengthen the scientific advice on the stock status. Whilst most studies on yellowfin growth only rely on one data source, we implemented a hierarchical Bayesian model that exploits various information sources on growth, i.e. direct age estimates obtained through otolith readings, analyzes of modal progressions and individual growth rates derived from mark-recapture experiments, and takes explicitely into account the expert knowledge and the errors associated with each dataset and the growth modelling process. In particular, the growth model was coupled with an ageing error model from repeated otolith readings which significantly improves the age estimates as well as the resulting growth estimates and allows a better assessment of the estimates reliability. The growth curves obtained constitute a major improvement of the growth pattern currently used in the yellowfin stock assessment. They demonstrates that yellowfin exhibits a two-stanzas growth, characterized by a sharp acceleration at the end of juvenile stage. However, they do not provide information on the biological and ecological mechanisms that lie behind the growth acceleration.For a better understanding of factors involved in the acceleration of growth, we implemented a bioenergetic model relying on the principles of Dynamic Energy Budget theory (DEB). Two major assumptions were investigated : (i) a low food availability during juvenile stage in relation with high intra and inter-specific competition and (ii) changes in food diet characterized by the consumption of more energetic prey in older yellowfin. It appears that these two assumption may partially explain the growth acceleration

Full textProduction of bio-oils through thermochemical biomass conversion is a promising process for biorefining. While gas phase kinetics of bio-oil conversion has been improving, its liquid phase reactivity is currently poorly understood. The aim work of my thesis is about the understanding of detailed kinetics mechanism of biomass thermochemical decomposition at low temperature range in the liquid phase. As mentionned by Basu (June 2010); Nakamura et al. (2007a,b); Kawamoto (2017) a liquid phase is observed during the initial stage of biomass pyrolysis. In this study, we will try to model the initial stage of biomass pyrolysis. To our knowledge, no modelling study of the rate of reactions in the liquid phase has been proposed for biomass pyrolysis. The investigation of liquid phase reactions of such complex systems requires a good knowledge of solvent effects. We compared the prediction capabilities of COSMO-SAC with those of the Abraham solvation model, by considering the COMPSOL database of Moine (2017) as the reference data. We then proposed a re-parametrization of these COSMO-SAC models that leads to much better predictions, and extended these models to CPCM cavities(Nait Saidi et al. (2020)). Predictive methods based on ab initio calculations can be very accurate for predicting gas phase thermochemical properties and are usually more versatile than group contribution methods. An extension of Paulechka and Kazakov (2017) ab initio prediction method of enthalpies of formation was proposed in this study (Mielczarek et al. (2019)) and used for biomass compounds. We then used Reaction Mechanism Generator (RMG) to investigate the possible reaction mechanism of different Tar surrogate compounds of biomass decomposition. The surrogate compounds that we chose are Creosol, guaiacol and methoxy vinylphenol to model the lignin. This work can be considered as an extension of the gas phase reaction mechanism of pyrolysis proposed by Ranzi(2017a,b) taking in consideration the primary tar recombination/polymerisation reaction that occur in the temperature range 100°C to 300°C.To model the kinetics of the key reaction, we investigated the transitional state using Gaussian 09 and ORCA. We then estimated the kinetics parameters using Transitional State Theory with Kisthelp tool (Canneauxet al. (2014)) and liquid phase kinetics approach based on the gas phase kinetics and solvation free energies correction (Jalan et al. July 2013)

Full textThis PhD thesis aims at optimizing lipid accumulation by oleaginous yeast, and most particularly by the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica from glucose. This optimization is addressed from a mathemantical point of view based on automatic control laws, where model-based control strategies are proposed. The bibliographic review compiles and evaluates previous works to identify the different existing methodologies to attain the optimization, which is divided in three main axes: modeling, control strategies, and monitoring. In this context, five different models are proposed to describe lipid accumulation. The first model is based on Monod and inhibition kinetics (unstructured), and the second on the Droop quota model (quota) previously used for microalgae. The last three are dynamic metabolic models that combine kinetics with metabolic models based on the stoichiometry of metabolism. These three models used a reduced metabolic network decomposed into elementary flux modes. The five models were successfully calibrated and validated with different experimental data. Nonetheless, the dynamic metabolic models presented highlighting features such as the description of metabolic shifts. Two approaches of multi-objective control strategies aiming at maximizing lipid productivity and lipid content fraction were proposed. In the first, the two objectives were weighted by static calculation of Pareto fronts, and integrated to the control strategy by dynamic optimization algorithms with a dynamic metabolic model. The second strategy used a constant weighed objective function solved by piecewise linear functions by integrating the quota model. The simulation results of the optimization attained lipid contents between 0.21 – 0.26 gLIP.gX-1 and productivities between 0.78 – 1.02 g.(L-h)-1 shortening the culture time to 20 h. Soft-sensors were developed by correlating on-line measurements (i.e. pO2 and the added base for pH) through support vector machines in order to overcome the lack of measurements. The perspective is to experimentally validate the control strategies

Full textThe role of clouds on the atmospheric chemical composition is still poorly known. The chemical compounds under the form of particles and gases are efficiently transformed in the cloud by photochemical and microbiological processes. The thesis objectives were to analyze the efficiency of these processes in the transformations of the chemical compounds using the multiphase cloud chemistry model CLEPS (CLoud Explicit Physico-chemical schema). The first work consisted in studying the cloud oxidizing capacity based on comparisons between HO• radical production rates for irradiated cloud water sampled at the puy de Dôme station determined experimentally in the lab data and modeled with CLEPS. These comparisons showed that the model overestimates the contribution of the iron photolysis in the production of HO• radicals. This is due to the complexation of iron in cloud water samples that is not considered in the model due to the lack of data. The model also showed that the photolysis of hydrogen peroxide represents the major source of the HO• radicals in the aqueous phase. Secondly, the new protocol for cloud aqueous phase oxidation of organic compounds developed to build the CLEPS model was validated based on irradiation experiments of a target compound, the tartronic acid that were simulated by the model. The experimental work confirmed the formation of glyoxylic acid predicted by the aqueous phase mechanism in the model. It reproduces the temporal evolution of the concentrations of tartronic acid and of its first oxidation product, the glyoxylic acid but underestimates the formation of formic acid which is one of final products of the tartronic acid oxidation. Finally, the model was developed to take into account biodegradation rates measured in the laboratory. The model allows comparing the efficiency of the chemical and microbiological processes for the degradation of four chemical species and testing the effect of key environmental parameters (temperature, actinic flow). The biological activity was recognized as more effective in the summer case than in the winter case and the contribution of microorganisms the night is dominant for both scenarios. A sensitivity test demonstrated that the contribution of the microbial activity in the degradation of the chemical compounds is strongly increased in comparison with the photochemical reactivity when the iron is supposed to be totally complexed

Full textThis study deals with the modeling and the dynamic simulation of quadrupeds, inspired from the nature. In this optic, experiments have been carried out with the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle (MNHN) of Paris. The long-term objective is to bring elements which could improve the legged robotic, and to try to find invariants parameters of the quadruped locomotion. For the MNHN, the interest is a better mechanical comprehension of the quadrupeds walk, by analyzing the animals from a robotics engineer point of view, and the realization of a parameterized model in which geometrical data of disappeared species could be inserted in order to obtain realistic films of their locomotion. The position of the problem lies in the complexity of legged robotic, and especially the infinity of possible solutions of locomotion. This is where comes the idea to take as a starting point a system which proved its efficiency and which has million years in advance on us, the nature

Full textThe conventional heat transfer models are not sufficiently suitable for thermal characterization of bio-sourced thermal insulating materials due to their strongly hydrophilic nature. The proposed work in this PhD thesis aims to answer this problem with experimental and theoretical approaches of coupled heat-moisture transfers. In the experimental approach, a thermal insulating material based on Flax Fiber Felt (FFF) is developed and then characterized at different hygrometric conditions with an asymmetric hot plate device. The humidity diffusion characterization of the samples is done using the GAB, GDW and Park theoretical moisture adsorption isotherm models. In the theoretical approach, a physical model of heat and mass transfer is proposed. It is solved numerically, in transient 3D configuration, by the finite element method under COMSOL Multiphysics and, in transient 1D configuration, by the finite difference method under MATLAB. The Levenberg-Marquardt method coupled with the 1D transient direct model and the measured temperatures made it possible to estimate the apparent thermal conductivity of the studied sample with a relative error of less than 6% compared to the experimental measurements, thus validating the theoretical models

Full textDiscontinuities and non-convexities are among the fundamental specificities of the relationship between agriculture and environment. Whereas it concerns groundwater pollution, the erosion of soils or salinity, the externalities associated to the process of agricultural production are complex and mostly non-linear. To evaluate them through the simple way of the usual rules of internalisation is not completely satisfactory. Thus we have adopted a multidisciplinary approach, associating economics and agronomy via a model coupling a bio-physical simulator and an economic programme, optimising the producers behavioury. This model introduces some sophistications, namely a dynamic recursif approach. .

Full textThe behavior of dioxygen included in a variety of systems including a metal cation was investigated, with a special focus on both the singlet and triplet spin states of the systems. In a first part, a comparative study was carried out on a series of small [MO2]n+ cation-dioxygen complexes. The role of the cation on the singlet-triplet energy gap was evaluated and the sensitivity of the results to the methodology examined. A survey of potential strategies for modeling the active centers and previous results obtained on these systems is then presented. It is used to introduce the study of two closely connected bio-inspired copper (I) complexes, namely Cu(TMPA)+ and Cu(TREN)+. These were chosen regarding the ability of their dioxygen adduct to perform the oxidation of phenolic species to quinoleic ones. In a first step, the formation of an adduct including both dioxygen and the phenolic substrate bond to the copper center was investigated and the chronology of the coordination steps discussed. We next focused on a potential H-transfer step from the phenol molecule used as a model substrate to the dioxygen. Two transfers were examined, either originating from a C-H bond of the cycle, or from the O-H group of the alcohol function. The surface crossing between the singlet and the triplet energy surface was found to occur during OH attack. In conclusion, the additional steps necessary to complete the reaction sequence are discussed, in particular the mechanism for the transfer of an O2H group to the aromatic cycle of the substrate

Full textDetection of airborne biological agents has become a major challenge especially in hospitals and the protection against bioterrorism. In this context, the miniaturization of analytical devices allows to consider their direct use in the field. To obtain a representative and concentrated sample, air filtration remains a delicate point. Among the various principles used to collect airborne particles, the use of electrical forces seems to be promising to improve performance beyond these of devices that are based on inertial forces.In this study, a detailed model of electrostatic collectors was developed in the wire/cylinder geometry. It first describes the hydrodynamic flow fields carring inclusions in which a corona discharge is imposed. Afterwards, the possible injection of steam into the collection chamber required the determination of the temperature and vapor concentration fields. An inspectionnal dimensional analysis justified the omission of two strong coupling terms. Therefore, in this study, the involved physical phenomena could be classified according to a non-reciprocal influences cascade and the numerical model is become simpler. Four different flow patterns, characterized by their electrohydrodynamic secondary flows, were identified and their impact on the collection efficiencies was quantified. In addition a design procedure of electrostatic filters, based on a representative efficiency Deutsch number, has been developed. This procedure shows the interest of parallelizing small collectors to filter important airflows. This study was completed by the analysis of the effects of steam into the collection chamber. It provides the basis for an explanation of the collection efficiencies increase related to this injection

Full textA tensegrity structure is an assembly of elements in compression (bars) and elements in tension (cables, springs) held together in equilibrium. Tensegrity has been known in architecture and art for more than a century and is adapted to the modeling of living organisms. More recently, tensegrity mechanisms have been studied for their promising properties in robotics such as low inertia, natural flexibility and deployment capability. A tensegrity mechanism is obtained when one or more elements are actuated, in our case by cables. This thesis is part of the AVINECK project, in which biologists and roboticians are involved with a dual goal: to have a better understanding of nature and bird necks, and also to draw inspiration from nature in order to design innovative bio-inspired manipulators. First, a study was conducted on the kinematics of bird vertebrae. A modeling of the contacts between articular surfaces allowed to reconstruct in 3D the movement of any bird vertebra with respect to another, based on 3D scans of real vertebrae. Then, several simple mechanisms were compared in order to determine the best candidate for modeling the kinematics of bird necks. Secondly, two 1-degree of freedom (DDL) tensegrity mechanisms potentially interesting for bird neck modeling and manipulator realization were modeled. Starting from an optimal design approach, two optimal mechanisms according to a given criterion were dimensioned and then compared in order to determine the most interesting mechanism from a manipulator design point of view. The 1 DDL mechanism chosen was an antagonistically actuated anti-parallelogram, called the X mechanism. A prototype of a 2 DDL manipulator was then designed and built. A study of the geometrical model of such a manipulator revealed interesting phenomena such as the cuspidal behaviour of the robot under certain conditions. A kinetostatic study of the manipulator was then carried out. As the behavior of the manipulator strongly depends on the actuation strategy, these were listed and some of them were compared. The results obtained were verified and highlighted on a prototype. Finally, the modeling of plane manipulators was extended to N DDL manipulators. A complete dynamic model was obtained, and a design process was carried out to obtain the dimensions and specifications of a 10 DDL bio-inspired planar manipulator

Full textScientific research on biomimetic design methodologies now faces the major challenge of implementing it in innovation practices. In this context, and in the face of the many obstacles that result, this doctoral thesis raises the question of the occupations associated with the practice of biomimetics. More specifically, the absence of professionals trained in biomimetic design and life sciences makes access and analysis of biological data particularly complex. Through a series of descriptive and prescriptive studies, the profile of the biomimetician, a professional specializing in biomimetics and biology, is formalized. The recommendation of its practical activities, including concepts, methods and tools derived from biology, then leads to the definition of the skills of this new member of the biomimetic design teams. To ensure its integration, an interdisciplinary technology-pull biomimetic design process and a tool accompanying the collaborative practice of the teams are proposed

Full textThe eukaryotic lipid kinase phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase III alpha is a ubiquitous enzyme that synthesizes the plasma membrane pool of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate. This important phosphoinositide has key roles in different signalization pathways, vesicular traffic and cellular compartment identity. Moreover, PI4KA is an essential factor for hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication. Indeed, PI4KA's interaction with the non-structural HCV protein NS5A at the endoplasmic reticulum membrane leads to formation of a “membranous web” giving to the membrane the signature necessary to the formation of viral replication machineryPI4KA is a large protein (2102 residues, 240 kDa for human PI4KA) with the kinase domain making up the ca 400 C-terminal residues preceded by an Armadillo domain for which no function is known. There is essentially no structural information about the 1500 N-terminal residues and no clue as to the function of most of this region of PI4KA.We use computational methods in order to delineate fragments of human PI4KA amenable to soluble production in Escherichia coli and insect cells. We clone and express these fragments and evaluate the soluble fraction of each construction. Our results further suggest that PI4KA can be described as a two-module protein. The N-terminal module (1100 residues), is composed of two domains which one is an alpha solenoid. Their potential arrangement was defined by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS).The second module (1000 residues), the C-terminal module, is the core enzyme. Its analysis leads us to identify similarities with the serine/threonine kinases PIKKs, as mTor, homologous to phosphatidylinositol-3-kinases. Three putative domains were delineate at the beginning of this C-terminal module. We name the DI, DII and DIII. Our collaborators have shown their necessity to the kinase activity of PI4KA and the HCV replication. DI domain was characterized and allowed the validation of a new parametrization of the N, N-dimethyl-dodecylamine oxide molecule (LDAO) for simulation of molecular dynamics. Finally, the full-length human PI4KA was expressed in insect cells, purified and a first interaction experiment with membranes have been initiated

Full textThe major part of this PhD consists in the creation of a methodology to model biological systems. This methodology considers models based on differential equations, and uses formal methods (interval solver, verification of STL formula), analytical methods (study of stability) and numerical methods (optimization algorithm, statistical analysis). Moreover, many kind of data, like behavioral response to perturbation, or quantitative data (metabolite half-life and concentration) can be incorporated. In collaboration with a biologist team, this methodology is successfully applied to the iron homeostasis network : we study the response of the system to an iron depletion, at the intracellular level, based on specific regulatory proteins (IRP proteins). A major output of this study is insight into the level of iron cells need to proliferate : this concentration is pointed out by the study of the model, and is experimentally validated.The second part of the PhD is the creation of a tool to model genetic regulatory networks, using Thomas' formalism. This tool, developed using ASP (Answer Set Programming) programming language, can integrate many kind of data, like mutation data, or the existence of many steady states. It automatically avoids inconsistency in case of contradiction between different hypotheses. It also infers biological properties such as relationships between kinetic parameters

Full textThe overall objective of this work is to develop a generic model able to better account and predict the transfer of radionuclides in the soil / soil solution / plant. The first part of the work was devoted to the critical analysis of the models available in the literature to describe the cesium adsorption on clay minerals (the process that mainly controls its availability in the soils). This analysis enabled us to propose a new mechanistic model combining two approaches: surface complexation and cation exchange. Our approach has been tested in order to model the adsorption of Cs on several natural clay substrates, in a wide range of Cs concentrations and physicochemical conditions. This work allowed to validate the proposed mechanistic model and to demonstrate that it constitutes a major advantage over the various existing models. The second part was devoted, to the performing of a series of experiments, carried out in controlled environments on dynamic systems and modeling the (bio)availability of Cs in these systems. Following these tests, the observed interactions between solid and solution could be correctly reproduced with the proposed model taking into account only the clay fraction of the soil. These simulations were also compared with simulations obtained using a empiric (Kd) kinetic models (E-K approach). Finally, the development of a numerical tool for coupling the description of geochemical interactions with transfer to the plant (Michaelis-Menten approach) allowed to reproduce adequately the trials carried out in Rhizotests coupling soil, solution and plant, and to better characterize of the Cs fraction available for plants

Full textIn France, where fishing rights are non-transferable, the management of fishing quotas is essentially delegated to producer organizations (POs). POs are granted collective allocations based on the aggregate fishing rights of their members and are then responsible for managing their fishing opportunities. The goal of this research, which contains theoretical developments as well as empirical analyses applied to the Bay of Biscay sole fishery, is to determine how outcomes of fisheries management are altered by the presence of POs within institutions as compared to alternative governance systems such as individual transferable quotas (ITQs). This dissertation notably brings together bio-economic approaches and institutional analyses to better anticipate the ecological, economic and social impacts of potential governance options. The research questions are the following: (1) What mechanisms could ensure a high level of compliance and what are the potential gains of placing the POs between the regulator and the fishermen? (2) What are the distributional effects of catch share management by POs? (3) What is the added value of integrating institutional arrangements involving POs into bio-economic modelling for the impact assessment of catch share management options? The analyses that were developed establish the ability of institutional design to influence outcomes in catch share systems in terms of compliance, distribution, and ecological-socioeconomic trade-offs achieved by alternative management options

Full textBiologists use zebrafish as an animal model to study the effects of genetic or environmental factors related to human locomotor diseases in order to develop pharmacological treatments. The general objectives of the project were 1) to develop a numerical model based on real-world data capable of accurately simulating the escape swimming of the zebrafish eleuthero-embryo and 2) to provide, in addition to swimming kinematic parameters, a fine estimate of the energetic performance of locomotor behavior to enrich experimental studies on locomotion. Furthermore, an experiment-based numerical modeling might enhance the understanding of locomotor behavior. For this purpose, a computational fluid dynamics code describing the fluid flow around a moving and deforming immersed body was used to reproduce in silico the experimental escape response of a five-day post-fertilization eleuthero-embryo. The solution of the mechanistic model, governed by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and Newton's laws was approximated on a Cartesian mesh while the solid body represented by a level-set function, was described implicitly by a penalization method. As for the deformation kinematics, it was estimated directly from experimental locomotion videos by a Procrustes analysis. A first approach has been considered to extract the deformation velocity, in two dimensions, based on optimal transportation. In order to be faithful to three-dimensional (3D) physics, the morphology of the zebrafish eleuthero-embryo and the experimental escape kinematics were reconstructed in 3D, by tracking Lagrangian markers on the surface of the zebrafish body. Thus, a new approach has been developed to estimate the deformation velocity from experimental real data obtained by ultra-high-speed imaging after electric field pulse stimulation. Zebrafish eleuthero-embryo exhibits a highly stereotyped and complex escape behavior consisting of three swimming modules: C-bend, counter-bend and fast-swimming cyclic phase. The developed approach enables high-performance and realistic numerical simulations of real locomotion. After performing a numerical validation of the model based on each component, a study was conducted on the energetic performance of the zebrafish's escape response, challenged by a change in fluid viscosity. A linear response of the cost of transport, associated with a constant energy expenditure, regardless the fluid environment, was thus demonstrated. This energy study can be extended to any immersed, moving and deformable body and in particular, to any biological experiment such as exposure to a neuro-toxicant, which would alter the locomotor behavior of the eleuthero-embryo. Thus, numerical simulation may enrich the quantitative assessments of biological conditions and pharmacological treatments which lead to disturbing or recovering the locomotor behavior

This PhD showcases two major contribution to this theme. A first contribution works on the modelling and simulating of a realistic spreading of the tumour cells in Glioblastoma Multiforme from a patient’s diagnosis. This work models tumour induced angiogenesis. A numerical scheme and algorithmare used to ensure positivity of solutions. Finally, simulations are compared to empirical knowledge from Medicine. A second contribution is on parameter estimation for reaction-diffusion models. The developed method solves inverse problems by solving two partial differential equation systems with a functional constraint, without using statistical tools. Numerical resolution of such problems is given and showcased on two examples of models with synthetic data. This method enables to calibrate parameters from a model using sparse data in time

Full textMonitoring the phytoplankton concentrations and the suspended sediment concentrations (SSC) by the use of remote sensing tools was studied for years by the « water color » scientific community, especially in open oceans and in coastal areas. Contrastingly, the use of satellite products to follow the transfer of suspended particulate matter (SPM) within inland waters was poorly achieved. Since 2003, the National Observation Service HYBAM collect water samples and perform radiometric measurements in the entire Amazon basin, in order to retrieve the SSC and estimate the optical response of the sediment load at various stations. This dataset allowed to establish consistent relationships between apparent optical properties (AOPs) and SSC, and an operational monitoring of SSC by remote sensing was instituted. However a part of these relationships remains not fully understood, and this variability was not explained yet. To better understand this variability among large river basins, we performed a detailed analysis of the optically active components of the suspended sediments, in terms of mineralogical determination and estimation of particle size distribution (PSD). A method of SPM characterization into 15 distinct mineralogies was developed using dispersive energy X-ray spectroscopy measured with scanning electron microscopes and analysed with machine learning tools (PAM, randomForest). Measurements showed a great spatial and temporal consistency on the Solimões River and the singularity of the Madeira River (Brazil). A modeling procedure induced the simulations of the optical properties as functions of the characteristics of mineralogy and grain size of the suspended sediments. Those simulations allowed to highlight the important contributions of the imaginary part n’ of the refractive index of the particles and of the proportion of small particles (less than 10 µm diameter) in the absorption and backscattering capacities of the middle. The physical and chemical characteristics of the suspended material explained the variability observed in the Amazon River basin between two different periods of the hydrological cycle. Notably, our results showed that the hysteresis observed on the Rrs-SSC relationship of the Madeira River at infra-red wavelengths can be explained by the seasonal changes in grain size and mineralogy, and particularly a decrease of n’ values and a shift towards finer particles in rising water stage. A comparative study was realized on the Bagré reservoir (Burkina Faso) in the Volta River basin, where the SSC were defined as spatially and temporally highly contrasted. Measurements of AOPs were realized and water samples were collected and analysed in August 2015, covering large ranges of values. This study allowed an evaluation of various satellite sensors performance (Spot5 (Take5), Landsat 8 OLI, Sentinel-2 MSI), to quantify the SSC from mono-band or multi-bands algorithms. This analysis lies on in situ measurements and on bio-optical modeling procedure locally calibrated. The use of the band ratio Near Infra-Red / Red (such as Rrs850/Rrs670) was found as the most reliable in high SSC estimation (> 100 mg.l-1) from satellite reflectances

Full textFusariotoxins, natural substance synthesized by various Fusarium spp. Are involved in several sanitary and commercial issues. This thesis summarizes the biology of two major lepidopteran corn pests, Ostrinia nubilalis Hüb. And Sesamia nonagrioides Lef. It reviews the main fungal micro-organisms producing mycotoxins, mainly diverse Fusarium spp. And the diverse mycotoxins produced. An international bibliographical review helps to describe the relations between lepidopteran borers, grain contaminations by Fusarium spp. And mycotoxin levels. Experimental work was conducted on two field trial networks. Results show various possibilities to reduce mycotoxins in harvest content : chemical treatments or genetic control with maize genetically modified for insect resistance. At harvest time, the efficacies of these two methods are compared and discussed according to the contamination by Fusarium spp. The main species involved were Fusarium verticillioides, F. Proliferatum, producing fumonisins and F. Graminearum synthetizing trichothecens B and zearalenone. The genetic method was more efficient than pesticide use to control F. Proliferatum contamination and limit fumonisin B1/B2 levels at the harvest. This efficiency is correlated with full efficacy of genetic control on lepidopteran borers in the field. However, the effect of genetic control operated by GM Bt maize on trichothecen B and zearalenone are less clear. A competition phenomenon between F. Proliferatum and F. Graminearum is discussed. A research for relevant descriptors is carried out by a modelization approach. A forecast model of mycotoxins risk is proposed in the final part

Full textIn subsurface environments, a large number of biogeochemical reactions have a kinetics controlled mainly by bacteria. In these environments, nutrient fluxes and solute concentrations can be highly variable over space and time. These variations can generate bio-geochemical reaction kinetics that differ significantly from the cases measured in homogeneous environmental models. The general objective of this work is, using microfluidic experiments and based only on physical descriptors, to quantify the couplings between flow heterogeneity, solute transport/mixing, reactions and biological activity. Our experiments are coupled with numerical modeling and demonstrate the coupling of nutrient transport with bacterial growth on surfaces. Observations at the scale of bacterial cells and at high acquisition rates show the effect of velocity gradients on the patterns of surface colonization by bacteria in the early stages of development of a population subjected to laminar flow. We also reveal a dependence of the properties of bacterial attachment to surfaces on the imposed shear forces. This bacterial adaptation influences their growth rate. Finally, we develop an analytical study framework describing the improvement of reaction kinetics through mixing processes

Full textThe aims of this thesis are two-fold, and centered on synthetic metabolic circuits, which perform sensing and computation using enzymes.The first part consisted in developing reinforcement and active learning tools to improve the design of metabolic circuits and optimize biosensing and bioproduction. In order to do this, a novel algorithm (RetroPath3.0) based on similarity-guided Monte Carlo Tree Search to improve the exploration of the search space is presented. This algorithm, combined with data-derived reaction rules and varying levels of enzyme promiscuity, allows to focus exploration on the most promising compounds and pathways for bio-retrosynthesis. As retrosynthesis-based pathways can be implemented in whole cell or cell-free systems, an active learning method to efficiently explore the combinatorial space of components for rational media optimization was also developed, to design the best media maximizing cell-free productivity.The second part consisted in developing analysis tools, to generate knowledge from biological data and model biosensor response. First, the effect of plasmid copy number on sensitivity of a transcription-factor based biosensor was modeled. Then, using cell-free systems allowing for broader control over the experimental factors such as DNA concentration, resource usage was modeled to ensure our current knowledge of underlying phenomenons is sufficient to account for circuit behavior, using either empirical models or mechanistic models. Coupled with metabolic circuit design, those models allowed us to develop a new biocomputation approach, called metabolic perceptrons.Overall, this thesis presents tools to design and analyse synthetic metabolic circuits, which are a novel way to perform computation in synthetic biology

Full textRegarding to data provided by the International Agency for Prevention of Blindness, 253 million people suffer some kind of visual impairment around the world. There is a group of diseases that affect the photoreceptors causing millions of impairment cases around the world that do not have an efficacious treatment. Retinal prostheses have proved to electrically stimulate the remaining cells of the retina by means of implantable microelectrode arrays to elicit their response and therefore visual perception. This PhD work tries to study two aspects of these devices: first, new electrode geometries that stimulate the cells in a more efficient manner; and second, the ageing of the different material used for the fabrication of the microelectrodes. For the first aspect new electrode geometries have been developed based on the state of the art. This development has been divided in different phases beginning with a FEM modeling of the electrode, followed by the microfabrication of the structures and their test in-vivo. In order to study the ageing of the microelectrode materials, a characterization bench that reproduces the conditions that an implant has to face during its implantation has been developed. This bench allows us to study in a comparative manner the evolution of the characteristics of the different materials thanks to the measurement of their electrochemical impedance

Full textHealthy living is a main contemporary concern of the construction field, extended to the environment. It has significant concerns about health, energy consumption, environmental impact and sustainability of building materials. The preliminary selection of materials used for construction plays an important role in the success of high environmental quality projects. In this context, it remains essential to predict the temperature and humidity fields inside porous building materials, where bio-based materials are subject to a strong interest due to their environmental qualities.As bio-based materials are hygroscopic, they tend to absorb or restore moisture, which respectively generates swelling or shrinkage. At the microscopic scale, moisture takes place either by absorption of bound water by the fibers, or by the existence of free water in the pores. The complexity of microscopic phenomena in bio-based materials will lead to strong interactions between the mechanical aspect on one side and heat and mass transfers’ aspects on the other side. The existence of this coupling may significantly alter the building's thermal performance, as well as its durability.The objective of this thesis work is to study the microscopic hygric behavior of porous building materials. The mechanical aspect coupled to the hygric one is studied, taking into consideration the local swelling and shrinkage strains, and their impact on the hysteresis phenomenon. Understanding this coupling is very important in order to improve the quality of habitat and evaluate the durability of these structures.The PhD project consists on working on all aspects, modeling, characterization and measurement of hygric transfers. Quantification of these phenomena is achieved through experimental campaigns based on 3D imaging techniques (X-ray micro-tomography). The use of X-ray diffraction (XRD), digital volume correlation, as well as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) allows a better understanding of the interactions between the solid matrix and bound and/or free water. The corresponding results have led to a microscopic morphological characterization of spruce wood, as well as to a better estimation of the various dimensional variations of the cell walls, and their chemical components.The numerical results achieved on the real 3D structure of the material have been coupled to the experimental ones, using digital volume correlation technique (X-ray tomography), in order to identify the intrinsic properties of the material.These thesis works provide a scientific basis allowing the improvement of modeling of the mechanical coupling with heat and mass transfers in bio-based materials

Full textBiomass fast pyrolysis is a promising process for the preparation of bio-oils dedicated to energy production. Inorganic species originally present in biomass are known to induce problems such as bio-oil instability, deposits and fouling. The purpose of the present work is to better understand the mechanisms of inorganic species transfer from biomass to bio-oils in fast pyrolysis processes. A methodology is developed for quantifying alkali and alkali-earth species (K, Ca, Mg, Na) distribution in the products (chars and bio-oils) issued from wheat straw and beech wood fast pyrolysis. Two complementary devices are used: a pilot plant fluidized bed reactor, and a horizontal tubular reactor. Mass balances closures are accurately achieved. 99 wt.% of the inorganic species originally contained in biomass are recovered in the chars. Thanks to an original bio-oils fractional condensation device, it is shown that more than 60 wt.% of the inorganic content of overall bio-oil is contained in the aerosols. Different assumptions of possible origins of the aerosols are discussed. Inorganic content of bio-oil is strongly connected to the presence of fine chars particles which are not efficiently separated by the cyclones, and, hence recovered in the bio-oils. The possibilities of upstream or downstream treatments are discussed in order to lower inorganic content of bio-oils. Finally, the mechanisms of inorganics transfers between char particles and a liquid phase, during bio-oil storage, are quantitatively described on the basis of side experiments associated to a model
