Abstract:

A unique opportunity exists to create instream water rights on national forest lands in Montana as a result of the US Forest Service Reserved Water Rights Compact between the US Forest Service (USFS) and the state of Montana, which went into law in 2007. Instream water rights on national forest lands are important because they have the potential to protect streamflows that support many vital ecosystem functions in our forests from water development pressures. Montana Trout Unlimited has an interest in advancing and accelerating this effort by providing stream recommendations to the USFS for the establishment of future water rights. The primary purposes of this paper are to offer recommendations to Montana Trout Unlimited for streams in Montana that would benefit the most from a US Forest Service instream water right and why, to develop an effective process for doing so, and to identify how Montana Trout Unlimited can help in this larger effort. Through the solicitation of stream recommendations from biologists and fisheries manager across the state and the development of a ranking worksheet to prioritize these recommendations, the final product of this research was a ranked stream list to help guide future efforts to establish USFS instream water rights. The USFS need to act on these recommendations and increase their investment in this effort before new water development pressures adjacent to national forests occur. Establishing water rights will enable the USFS to be a legal stakeholder in the water resources on national forest lands in Montana and ensure the long term health of our forests in the state.

Abstract:

Lidar is fast becoming one of the most widely used and accurate remote sensing tools for forest inventory. The means by which the lidar data is used to accomplish these inventories varies greatly. This study examines the use of individual tree detection and attribution to assess various forest characteristics, along with testing two alternative methods of determining canopy cover from lidar. Individual stem detection was accomplished using a local maxima algorithm. The total number of stems detected by lidar was 6% lower than field tallied stems, with regression analysis yielding an R2 of 0.59 and RMSE of 188/ha. The difference in number of lidar versus field trees also differed by density. For those plots with a density greater than 600 trees/ha, the number of stems detected by lidar was 26% lower than field measured stems. For those plots with less than 600 trees/ha, lidar detected a much larger number of small stems (< 35 cm diameter), leading to a larger estimate of tree density overall (~25% more lidar trees). Field based measures of mean and maximum height were highly correlated with the lidar data, resulting in R2 values of 0.85 and 0.89, and RMSE values of 1.6 and 1.7 respectively. Overall mean diameter and basal area were closely estimated by lidar, with both field and lidar mean diameter at 27.8 cm and total basal area at 77.3 m2 for lidar and 77.4 m2 field data. Plot-level comparisons of these 2 attributes showed some variation however. Mean for the diameter had an R2 of just 0.56 and an RMSE of 4.7 cm. For the plot level basal area, R2 was 0.57 with an RMSE of 0.8 m2/0.1 ha. Canopy cover was found to be most accurately estimated using the intensity (i.e. returned energy) of the lidar pulses and calculating the ratio of canopy intensity to total intensity. The high correlation between lidar-based estimates and field-based estimates suggests that lidar data can be effectively used to help provide complete wall-to-wall data for key forest inventory attributes.

Abstract:

There are many challenges associated with student retention. Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) has focused on determining the factors affecting student retention across its campus and distance course delivery formats in order to improve student retention. The purpose in this study was to explore the extent to which age, course delivery, technical ability, and financial background determine retention at SMWC. Retention and attrition models of Tinto and Walleri laid the foundation of this study. Qualitative data on technical ability were collected from 69 students who responded to the survey instrument on Survey Monkey. Quantitative data on retention, age, course delivery, and financial background on students who had graduated over the past 10 years were gathered from the offices of financial aid and the registrar. For quantitative data analysis, the influences of age and financial background on student retention were examined through multiple regression; the influence of course delivery on student retention was examined through 2-tailed t tests for comparing the 2 population means. Qualitative data were analyzed through a narrative approach. The findings of quantitative data analysis were that student age and financial standing were not significant predictors of student retention and that retention for distance course delivery was significantly lower than that of online delivery. The finding for qualitative analysis was that students with higher technical ability showed higher retention across both course deliveries. The social change implications include a better understanding by SMWC's administrators and faculty of course delivery and design in order to improve student retention, thus benefitting the local economy and community by creating a more skilled and employable workforce and a stronger reputation for SMWC.

Full text

Abstract:

A review of litigation and appeals over timber sales on the Lolo National Forest for the years 1999 thru 2008 revealed that of the 157 timber sales that could have been appealed or litigated, 27%, representing 55% of the timber volume in all the reviewed sales, had some form of appeal or litigation.. The categories of timber sales with the highest percentage of appeals and/or litigation in relation to their representation within the population as a whole were those that were performed to improve forest health or to meet stewardship goals. The silvicultural prescription that had the highest percentage of appeals and/or litigation in relation to their representation within the population as a whole were thin from above prescriptions while the least frequent was a clear cut. This study intends to serve as a source of information about appeals and litigation on the Lolo National Forest over timber sales by discussing reasons why environmental groups litigate and appeal timber sales. Additionally, this study hopes to give individuals, the Forest Service, private interest groups, or citizen groups involved with attempting to decrease the number of timber sales appealed or litigated as well as the volume of wood appealed or litigated, a point of comparison to evaluate the effectiveness of their efforts.

Abstract:

This study assessed the changing mission of the Industrial College of the Armed Forces as it evolved from the institution's founding as the Army Industrial College in 1924 to its 70th anniversary in 1994. The study drew heavily from archival materials in the Special Collections of the National Defense University in Washington, DC. The problem investigated in this research was to analyze how and why the institution's mission changed over time within the context of internal and external forces and events. Based upon the historical method of research, the study identified six periods in the institution's development over seven decades: its origins in the aftermath of World War I from 1918 to 1924; its growth in the interwar years, 1924 to 1940; the institution's temporary closure and subsequent reconstitution as the Industrial College of the Armed Forces during and after World War II, from 1940 to 1947; a formative period during the Cold War from 1947 to 1962; its continuing evolution throughout the Vietnam era from 1962 to 1974; and finally the College's modern development as a joint service educational institution from 1974 to 1994. The study found that the institution has changed dramatically over much of this century, just as the world and the country's national security concerns have changed profoundly in the same period. The mission of the College has evolved from a narrow focus on training military officers in procurement and industrial mobilization to that of a graduate institution dedicated to educating a select group of promising senior military and civilian officials in the political, economic, and resource dimensions of national security. Over time, the focus has shifted from training to education, from military to national issues, from internal and external educational programs to primarily internal ones, and from a predominant interest in domestic issues to an equally strong concern for international matters. The study finds that a variety of internal and external events and forces have impelled these changes. A wide range of influential individuals and stakeholders, bureaucratic power structures, governmental agencies, special review boards, and various political, economic, military, and social considerations have influenced the mission of the College. The study also concludes that several factors have likely contributed to the institution's relatively unusual longevity as a government entity. Its dual identity as an educational institution and a government organization set apart from the mainstream bureaucracy has had a favorable influence. So too has the institution been aided by the unique service it has provided to multiple customer constituencies. In fact, the College's mission has made it unique as an institution of adult education and learning in this country and perhaps the world.

Abstract:

Thesis advisor: Ana M. Martinez Aleman
Colleges and universities within the United States are continuously looking at ways to assess and measure student outcomes, academically as well as psychosocially. Student engagement measures have come to the forefront of assessment tools as a way for college administrators to determine whether their students are actively engaged in programs and activities on campus and whether this participation actually affects their retention and persistence. Women's colleges have been studied extensively as an alternative to the coeducational college environment for women. Founded on the premise of providing a higher education to an underserved population of women, women's colleges have evolved to providing an educational environment that serves to empower and enlighten their female students. However, over time, the number of women's colleges have declined through closure, merger or coeducation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a significant difference in engagement levels of female students who attended former women's colleges and those who attended historically coeducational colleges or women's colleges. Exploring the engagement levels of students attending coeducational colleges that were founded as women-only, with the corresponding woman-centric educational experience, it can be determined whether that history and commitment continue and result in an educational environment that engages women significantly more than an institution that was coeducational from its inception. Using the NSSE benchmarks, HLM and ANOVA was used to determine any relationship between time from coeducational transition or male enrollment percentage and engagement levels. Interaction effects were also explored. Results of this study reveal three conclusions. First, consistent with the literature, students attending women's colleges are reporting higher engagement levels across all benchmarks when compared to their peers attending former women's colleges and historically coeducational colleges. Second, the engagement levels of female students attending former women's colleges are split along academic and psychosocial lines. Third, consistent with the "chilly climate" literature, increasing male enrollment percentage was linked to lower reported engagement levels by women attending former women's colleges

Abstract:

Research suggests that the relatively low rates of former foster youth enrolling in and graduating from a postsecondary institution may be related to lack of foster care system support. This study examined whether perceived support from the foster care system was related to the postsecondary enrollment and academic performance of former foster youth, and whether males and females differed in perceived support from the foster care system. Forty-five former foster youth aged 18-24 years who had transitioned from a southeastern state completed a measure of social support and reported whether they had attended a postsecondary institution and, if so, their cumulative grade point average (CGPA). Analysis showed no significant relationships between participants' perceptions of foster care system support and their postsecondary attendance or performance. Analysis also showed no difference between genders in perceived support from the foster care system based on gender. Two notable results of the study were that over half the sample reported they had attended or were attending a postsecondary institution, with over 90% of those planning to continue, and nearly 40% reported a college GPA of 3.0 or above, suggesting considerable success in postsecondary classes. A limitation of the study was its reliance on self-report data. Recommendations included repeating the study by surveying former foster youth in several states to obtain ample participants. A social change implication was that a number of former foster youth are overcoming the unique challenges they face that might hinder their postsecondary attendance and success.

Abstract:

The Distributed Hydrology-Soil-Vegetation Model (DHSVM) was applied to the Eightmile Creek watershed in western Montana. The purpose of this research was primarily to assess the applicability of the model as a cumulative effects assessment tool in the post-fire landscape of a forested watershed in this region. The model was first calibrated to the pre-fire watershed conditions using six years of historic streamflow data. DHSVM was able to accurately simulate the general shape of the measured hydrograph for each of the six simulated water years, and the normalized median absolute error statistics were below the target threshold of 50% for each year simulated. This relative success of the calibration efforts is particularly surprising when one considers the significant limitations presented by the lack of any sub-daily or high-elevation meteorological data for use in driving the calibration simulations. Because the accuracy of DHSVM simulations were greatly improved through rigorous calibration, this research demonstrates the need for model calibration to a watershed of interest, prior to hydrologic simulations of different landscape scenarios. Next, two different calibrated versions of DHSVM, including DHSVM version 2.0.1 and the DHSVM fire model, were each used to simulate runoff in the Eightmile Creek watershed following a near catchment-wide stand-replacing forest fire. Due to weather anomalies and limited, discontinuous streamflow data, no decisive conclusions could be made regarding the performance of either version of the model in the validation efforts. Results do suggest, though, that the DHSVM fire model has the potential to outperform the standard model version in fire-affected landscapes. Further research utilizing the DHSVM fire model with more substantial post-fire streamflow records for model validation is warranted.

Most tissues in the body are under mechanical tension, and while enzymes mediate many cellular and extracellular processes, the effects of mechanical forces on enzyme reactions in native extracellular matrix (ECM) are not well known. Previous studies have shown that elastin remodeling in the lung occurs during the progression of emphysema, a disease that involves enzymatic cleavage of various ECM proteins of the parenchyma. Here we hypothesize that physiological levels of mechanical forces are also capable of modifying the activity of collagenase, a key remodeling enzyme of the ECM, leading to increased collagen deterioration, which results in decreased ECM stiffness. To test this, we measured the changes in mechanical properties of lung tissue strips under various conditions of stretch and digestion. Specifically, we analyzed the stiffness and nonlinearity index of tissue strips tested under uniaxial static stretch (amplitudes of 0, 20, 40, and 80% strain), as well as cyclic mechanical loading (amplitudes of ±10% and ±20% superimposed on 40% static stretch, and frequencies of 0.1 and 1Hz). We also used confocal and electron microscopy to determine and quantify changes in ECM structure. In particular, we observed qualitatively the effect of mechanical loading on enzyme activity through the increased destruction seen in our confocal and electron images. We also analyzed the changes in equivalent diameter and distortion index measurements of the alveolar structures through analysis of the confocal images. The decline in stiffness during digestion positively correlated with the increase in equivalent diameters and negatively correlated with the distortion index. These results suggest that the decline in stiffness results from collagen rupture within and of the alveolar wall, and changes in shape of the airspaces subsequent to local tissue failure. In general, from these studies, we found that mechanical forces accelerated collagen digestion and lead to increased destruction of ECM structure of the alveoli. This research may provide new understanding of the role of collagen degradation in general tissue remodeling and disease progression.

Abstract:

This study examined the curriculum evolution process of the Industrial College of the Armed Forces (ICAF) and its predecessor, the Army Industrial College (AIC), as it was influenced by a variety of factors between the years 1924 and 1988. Most of the published material used for this study was found in the library of the National Defense University, Fort Lesley J. McNair, Washington, DC. Additionally, current and past College faculty and staff members were interviewed. Six main questions served to guide and focus inquiry for this study. These questions concerned how the curriculum evolution process was affected by (1) various influential persons, (2) recommendations of commissions and boards, (3) social, economic, and political phenomena, (4) military and civilian faculty, (5) educational philosophy, and (6) technological advances. Using the historical method, the study identified five distinct periods in ICAF's curriculum history: 1924-1941, during which AIC's original curriculum sought to forestall a recurrence of industrial mobilization problems; 1943-1964, which saw the emergence of economic mobilization as the overarching curriculum theme; 1964-1975, a time when a strong leader completely restructured the curriculum theme to emphasize management and active learning; 1975-1984, a period when NDU was created as the joint college umbrella, applied behavioral science was introduced, and the curriculum theme returned to mobilization; and 1984-1988, during which the conceptual frameworks of joint and combined warfare and the systems approach guided the continuing search for academic excellence and rigor. The study found that each of the potential change agents affected the way the curriculum evolved. However, the most influential factor was the occasional person who interpreted the significance of a multiplicity or phenomena in an innovative fashion, and consciously chose to restructure curriculum. Commandant, Lieutenant General August Schomburg and Dean of Faculty and Academics, Colonel Barry M. Landson, were the two most effective individuals in this regard. Consequently, the study concluded that, for the most part, curriculum planning was not an orderly, systematic, and analytical process. Generally, curriculum change was found to be incremental and often based on which subjects received greatest media attention or the relative argumentative forcefulness of proponents.

Abstract:

Pale, soft, and exudative (PSE) poultry originates during rigor mortis when the muscle pH drops rapidly in high temperature carcasses. This condition results from antemortem stress and/or genetic material in the live animal. PSE poultry is pale in color, has low water-holding capacity, and forms products that are unappealing, dry, and unacceptable to consumers. Since value added products processed with PSE turkey meat display poor protein bind, color, and water retention, enhanced usability could add value to this low value raw material through locating a niche for PSE meat currently utilized in further processed products. Experiment 1 consisted of four broiler breast treatments: 100% PSE, 100% PSE + 1.5% chicken collagen, 100% normal, and 100% normal + 1.5% chicken collagen to test the effects of raw material and chicken collagen. Incorporation of collagen improved (p<0.05) protein bind and CIE L* values in both PSE and normal broiler breast treatments, while decreasing (p<0.05) the cooking and chilling loss of PSE broiler breast treatments. Experiment 2 consisted of four turkey breast treatments: 100% PSE, 100% PSE + 1.5% turkey collagen, 100% normal, and 100% normal + 1.5% turkey collagen to test the effects of raw material and turkey collagen. Addition of turkey collagen improved (p<0.05) the protein bind and CIE L* values in both PSE and normal broiler breast treatments, while decreasing (p<0.05) the cooking and chilling loss of PSE turkey breast treatments. Experiment 3 consisted of five turkey breast treatments: 100% PSE, 100% PSE + 1.5% collagen, 100% PSE + 0.30% kappa/iota carrageenan, 100% PSE + 1.5% soy protein concentrate, and 100% normal to test the effects of raw material, turkey collagen, soy protein concentrate, and carrageenan. Addition of soy protein and turkey collagen both decreased (p<0.05) cooking and chilling loss and increased (p<0.005) the protein bind of 100% PSE. Purge loss was decreased (p<0.05) in PSE raw material when turkey collagen, soy protein concentrate, and kappa/iota carrageenan were utilized. Treatments with collagen displayed similar (p>0.05) CIE L* and CIE a* values to that of normal treatments. No differences (p>0.05) in consumer acceptability existed among the treatments.

Full text

Abstract:

Erosion from forest roads is a known problem in mountainous terrain. To abate these negative consequences, physical Best Management Practices (BMPs) are implemented, sometimes with no knowledge of erosion hot spots. With the need to minimize water quality impacts while at the same time accounting for multiple considerations and constraints, road BMP planning at the watershed scale is a difficult task. To assist in this planning process, a methodology is presented here that combines WEPP: Road erosion predictions with simulated annealing optimization. Under this methodology, erosion predictions associated with BMP options for a segment comprise the objective function of an optimization problem. This methodology was tested on a watershed in the Lake Tahoe Basin. WEPP: Road input data was gathered through road surveys. Modeling results predicted relatively little sediment leaving the forest buffer, as a result of numerous well-maintained BMPs and the dry climate found in the watershed. A sensitivity analysis for all WEPP: Road input parameters is presented, which provides insight into the general applicability of these erosion estimates as well as the relative importance of each input parameter. After evaluating erosion risk across the entire watershed, applicable BMPs were assigned to problem road segments and WEPP: Road was used to predict change in sediment leaving the buffer with BMP implementation at a given site. These predictions, combined with budget constraints as well as equipment scheduling considerations, were incorporated into an algorithm using simulated annealing as its optimization engine. Three modeled scenarios demonstrate the viability of this methodology in reducing total sediment leaving the road buffer over a planning horizon. Of the 173 segments surveyed, 38 segments could be treated using generic BMPs. For all three scenarios, BMP-SA reduced sediment leaving the buffer by as much as 70% over the course of a 20-year planning horizon. For the 38 segments treated with BMPs, sediment was reduced by greater than 90% over the planning horizon. This methodology is a viable approach for streamlining watershed-scale road network BMP planning, despite its heavy reliance on road erosion estimates.

Abstract:

This mixed research study evaluated the spacing effect theory on the academic performances of students enrolled in introductory level Computer Literacy courses by comparing course grades and mock IC3 certification exam scores in semester-length and quarter-length courses at Prince Georges Community College. The study was ingrained on the spacing effect theory which posits that mammals will tend to recall material learned over time (spaced presentation) than material concepts learned over shorter periods (massed presentation). A t test analysis revealed that students in the quarter-length formats had significantly higher grades than those in the semester format but the analysis presented no significant difference on their mock IC3 scores. A Pearson correlation conducted also revealed no significant relationship among students' course grades and their mock IC3 scores overall or by format (semester vs. intensive).

Abstract:

Road decommissioning is increasingly recognized as a critical first step in the restoration of terrestrial and aquatic habitats. In the past two years alone, the United States Congress has appropriated $90 million for road removal and watershed restoration. Despite this relatively large public investment, little is known about the efficacy or ecological effects of road-removal practices. One particularly important issue is the impact of post-road-removal revegetation strategies. This study evaluated 1) short-term effects of road decommissioning on plant community composition, 2) effects of seed-mix seed origin (native vs. nonnative), species diversity, and seeding density on vegetative establishment, and 3) impact of overstory canopy and coarse woody debris on revegetation success on recently decommissioned roads. Total vegetative cover declined by 60% one-year after decommissioning, with nonnative plants showing the greatest declines (ca. 90%). Although managers often justify the use of nonnative seed mixes by the need for rapid establishment of plants on disturbed sites, we did not find significant differences in percent cover of total vegetation between plots seeded with native versus nonnative species, one year after treatment. Furthermore, cover of native species was significantly higher on plots seeded with natives compared to other treatment plots (12.3% vs. 7.8%, respectively). On treatments seeded with nonnative species, 18% of total vegetative cover was due to cover of seeded species; in comparison, seeded species accounted for 43% of total vegetative cover on native treatments. These findings suggest that native seed mixes actually may outperform nonnative ones in terms of vegetative establishment after disturbance associated with road removal.

Abstract:

Tendons are collagen-based fibrous tissues that connect muscles to bones. Tendon injury is common, but currently available treatments for damaged tendons are limited, and often fail to restore pre-injury function. The cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying tendon formation are not completely understood, and a detailed understanding of the processes involved would facilitate new therapeutic strategies. Work presented in this thesis had two aims: to investigate the role and mechanisms of cell-generated force during tendon development, and to examine the effect of external force applied to tendon tissue. The rationale to investigate micro-mechanical aspects of tendon development came from observations that tendons are intrinsically tensioned, presumably to transmit force efficiently. Tension is also critical for the formation and regulation of the primary cell-matrix interaction structures seen in embryonic tendon, known as fibripositors. In initial experiments cell-generated force was disrupted with the non-muscle myosin II (NMII) inhibitor blebbistatin. NMII inhibition prevented formation of tendon tissue in a 3D cell culture system (tendon-construct). Cell-contraction was also shown to shape the ECM and generate a crimped collagen structure characteristic of tendon. These observations highlight the importance of cell-generated force in tendon development. Further investigation using novel microscopy techniques suggested that fibripositors contained newly formed collagen fibrils, and that fibrils in the ECM were internalised and fragmented in a NMII/MT1-MMP dependent pathway. It is proposed that these fragmented fibrils are re-secreted into the matrix, where they seed fibril growth. This pathway is disrupted in MT1-MMP deficient mice, which have half normal size tendons with fewer collagen fibrils. Investigations using a mechanical rig showed that external application of force to tendon-constructs stimulated matrix maturation that more closely mimicked embryonic development. Taken together these results show that both cell-generated force and external force have important roles during tendon development. Experiments in this thesis aimed to elucidate the role of force at the tissue level (generation of mechanical properties, crimp structure), the microscopic level (cell-matrix interactions) and the molecular level (role of NMII and MT1-MMP in ECM collagen fibril handling). Given the complexity of the developmental system being investigated the multi-level experimental approach used here is necessary to generate a holistic understanding of the important developmental processes involved. Therapeutic tissue regeneration may be facilitated by application of external force or modulation of cell-generated force. Furthermore, the identification of a fibril amplification pathway has implications for medical conditions characterised by excessive collagen fibril formation (fibrosis, some cancers) or by slow or inadequate fibril formation (tendon healing).

Abstract:

As the human population in Florida continues to expand, development follows, and tree farms give way to homes and businesses. As parks are established, restoration of these semi-natural plantations may provide critical habitat for species conservation. This study evaluates vegetation response to restoration treatments at two study sites, formerly tree farms, now preserves in NE Florida. Treatments included thinning, clearing, or control (no treatment) within 10m^2 plots. Thinning reduced tree canopy to 20% (2-3 pines/plot) and removed all other vegetation; clearing treatments removed all biomass to bare soil; no herbicides were used. Within these plots richness and abundance was assessed by establishing two parallel transects and counting ramets on a bi-annual basis. Tree diameter at breast height (dbh) was also measured (cm). It was hypothesized that release of resources (thinning and clearing) would increase overall diversity (more so in graminoids and forbs), and encourage more robust tree growth versus control groups. Diversity ANOVA (Simpons & Shannon indices) showed significant differences due to survey date (p< 0.05) at the McGirts Creek site and a significant (p= 0.056) effect for the interaction term at the Tigers Point site. Tree dbh also increased at a significantly greater rate in thinned, versus control groups at the Tigers Point site (p= 0.03) perhaps due to higher initial tree density, but not at the McGirts Creek site (p= 0.85). Placing species into guilds revealed both sites reflected high levels of graminoids in cleared plots, which is consistent with early successional species (pioneer plants). McGirts followed hypothesis as forbs and graminoids were dominant in both thinned and cleared plots and the Tigers Point site had higher levels of vines and shrubs than expected. Restoration goals of increasing vegetative diversity, especially in r-selected species, and robust growth can be met by techniques used in this study.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to assess the extent to which community colleges have implemented major post-Virginia Tech campus safety recommendations. In addition to gaining a comprehensive overview of the safety policies and practices in place, this study assessed if campus safety policy implementation levels at the community colleges correlated with institutional characteristics, and the internal and external forces that helped drive the implementation of these policies. Focusing specifically upon the Virginia Community College System, data on the policies and practices in place at each of the 23 Virginia community colleges were collected from institutional websites and through follow-up telephone calls. Interviews were then conducted with a small group of administrators from various Virginia community colleges. Analysis of the data indicated that large variance exists across the community colleges, as some have implemented most of the major campus safety recommendations that currently exist, while other have only implemented far less. The results also revealed potential support for larger community colleges with more resources and more campuses implementing more campus safety recommendations. Interview data detailed that external mandates and internal college leadership are the most important forces driving campus safety policy change among the community colleges. A number of policy implications arose regarding where community colleges need to improve their campus safety and how to best drive campus safety policy changes in the future.

Abstract:

Background: Officers in the Swedish Armed Forces educates their soldiers in various skills and arenas. The Officers get their educational training in officer training courses conducted by the Swedish Armed Forces or the Swedish national defence college. The aim of this study was to find out how the cadets, belive that they are formed into educators, their views on the literature being used in the Swedish armed Forsces, and their views on leadership and educational science.

Methods: The data for analysis were collected in spring 2010, by use of a questionnaire among cadets studying the tactical/operational program Ta/Op 07/10 at the Swedish national defence college. The respons rate was 69, 6 %.

Results: The majority of the cadets thought that experience was the most important factor in becoming a good educator. Most of the cadets also thought that the literature being used by the Swedish armed forces was good, however, few cadets stated that they will use the material for reflection on their own teaching when working as officers.

Conclusions: The Cadets had a positive attitude towards the educational philosphy and literature being used, but few will use the literature in reflecting on themselves as teachers. Cadets belive that they mainly will become good educators through experience, and that it is important that leaders and managers in Swedish armed forces have knowledge about educational science.

Le Téléthon est un format adapté avec succès à la télévision française par le binôme Groupe France Télévisions – Association française contre les myopathies depuis 1987, et à la télévision mexicaine depuis 1997 par le groupe de télévision Televisa, membre de la Fundación Teletón mexicaine. Le sujet de cette thèse porte sur la comparaison de l’adaptation de ce format qui est reproduit annuellement en différentes parties du monde, en se focalisant sur ces deux cas précis et leur contexte. Pour la réaliser, le corpus hétérogène est composé principalement d’une expérience sur le terrain, du matériel audiovisuel des émissions diffusées en 2006, et de deux publications officielles et commémoratives du Téléthon.

L’étude comparée s’installe alors dans un cadre conceptuel afin de comprendre l’Autre et ainsi de mieux définir le Téléthon dans sa complexité. Chacune des émissions est analysée séparément pour montrer ce que le format offre actuellement à la visibilité du handicap. S’inspirant de la Déclaration universelle de l’UNESCO sur la diversité culturelle, adoptée en 2001, le dialogue agit alors comme une condition majeure tout au long de l’étude, et, par conséquent, introduit un débat à partir des apports de la télévision sur la santé publique. Finalement, on verra que le Téléthon se retrouve corrélé avec la lutte contre la maladie parmi d’autres collectes et qu’il concerne l’éducation pour la santé
The Telethon is a program that has been successfully adapted to French television by the tandem of Groupe France Télévisions – Association française contre les myopathies (French Muscular Dystrophy Association) since 1987, and to Mexican television since 1997 by the Televisa television group, which is a member of the Mexican Fundación Teletón. This thesis compares the adaptation of this format that is repeated annually in various parts of the world, and focuses on these two specific cases and their contexts. To accomplish this, the heterogeneous support was mainly composed of experience in the field, audio-visual material from the programs broadcast in 2006, and two official publications to commemorate the Telethon. This research is based on the comparing researcher's views and highlights her awareness of her subjectivity in its interpretation. This comparative study is thus part of a conceptual framework in order to understand the Other and consequently to define the complexity of the Telethon more clearly. Each of the programs is individually dissected to show what the format currently offers for the visibility of the handicap. Inspired from the UNESCO universal declaration on cultural diversity that was adopted in 2001, the dialogue thus intervenes as a major condition throughout the study and as a result introduces into the debate the contribution of the television to public health. Finally, it can be seen that the Telethon is correlated with the combat against the illness among the other fundraising events and that it also concerns health education

Le lecteur joue un grand rôle dans la production et dans l'élaboration du sens. En effet, dès le premier contact avec un énoncé littéraire, le lecteur réel est engagé dans une " communication interactionnelle " avec l'auteur réel, surtout lorsqu'il s'agit de saisir le sens d'un récit " déroutant ". Pourtant, nous ne pouvons pas toujours préciser les types de lecteurs réels et leur capacité dans l'activation de l'acte de lecture qui doit être productif. La thèse essaye de mettre en lumière les particularités de la lecture littéraire et la difficulté d'approcher un énoncé littéraire, qui demeure un défi et une contrainte au vu de sa spécificité.

Abstract:

Cette étude vise à une meilleure compréhension des phénomènes rencontrés en filtration des aérosols nanométriques, c’est-à-dire inférieurs à 100 nm, neutres et/ou chargés. Pour ce faire, trois différents types de média ont été étudiés : des grilles, en acier et matières synthétiques, des filtres non tissés, en fibres de verre ou polymériques, et des lits granulaires, constitués de billes d’acier ou de zéolithe. Il ressort des résultats expérimentaux obtenus que quel que soit le média testé, l’efficacité de collecte des particules augmente lorsque le diamètre de l’aérosol diminue, et ce jusque 4 nm. Ceci entre en contradiction avec l’approche théorique dite du rebond thermique, développée par Wang et Kasper en 1991, selon laquelle l’efficacité de collecte serait susceptible de diminuer en-dessous de 10 nm. La vérification des calculs de Wang et Kasper permet d’expliquer cette incohérence, et montre, à partir de valeurs plus réalistes de l’énergie d’adhésion particule-fibre, que si le rebond thermique existe, celui-ci ne pourra se manifester qu’en-dessous de 1 nm, au mieux. Ainsi, les perméances expérimentales des différents médias testés ont pu être modélisées en tenant compte des mécanismes de collecte par diffusion et/ou par effets électrostatiques. Une étude originale sur les performances, dans le domaine nanométrique, de filtres en fibres de verre intentionnellement percés complète ce travail. Pour un même média fibreux, la perméance augmente avec le diamètre de perforation réalisée. Par ailleurs, pour une taille de perforation donnée, la perméance devient indépendante du diamètre des particules en-dessous d’une taille limite, fonction de la dimension de la perforation. Il a enfin été mis en évidence que la baisse d’efficacité est d’autant plus importante que la résistance à l’écoulement de l’air du filtre est importante. Un modèle semi-empirique, fondé sur la différenciation du flux d’aérosol traversant la fuite du flux traversant le matelas fibreux résiduel du filtre, permet de bien représenter ces états de fait
This study aims to better understand the mechanisms encountered in nanoparticles aerosol filtration, the particles being charged or not. Three different types of media were studied: stainless steel or synthetics wire screens, unwoven filters in glass or polymer fibres, and at last, granular beds made from steel or zeolite balls. Experimental results show that, whatever the media, collection efficiency increases as the particle diameter decreases down to 4 nm. This point conflicts with the so-called thermal rebound effect developed by Wang and Kasper in 1991, according to which collection efficiency could decrease below 10 nm. The checking of Wang and Kasper’s calculations enables to explain this discrepancy and shows from more probable particle-to-fibre adhesion energy values that if thermal rebound phenomenon exists, it would only be measurable below 1 nm. Then, experimental points can be modelled from both diffusion and electrostatic forces collection mechanisms. An investigation on the filtration behaviour of fibreglass filters in the nanometric domain when intentionally-pierced with calibrated needles completes the above-mentioned works. For a same media, penetration increases as the leak diameter does. On the other hand, for a given hole size, penetration becomes independent of the particle diameter below a critical scale, which is a function of the leak diameter. It was lastly shown that the efficiency of a pierced media decreases all the more that its air flow resistance is higher. A semi-empirical model based on the differentiation between the aerosol flow across the leak and the one through the residual fibrous bed of the filter enables to well represent these points

This research work has as its object of study the relationship established between the Colégio Militar de Campo Grande, created in 1993, and the historical context in South mato-grossense ensues with the end of the cold war (1947-1991). To do so, establishes the links between the armed forces and their occupation geopolitics in Mato Grosso do Sul, the significance of this presence to the social organization of sul-mato-grossenses, power relations, the formation processes of teaching and how these elements materialize in the Colégio Militar de Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, in the field of history of School Institutions. The assumption that its creation during the last decade of the 20th century correlates with the formation of a new role as established by the armed forces after the military Government (1964-1985). The occupation of the southern territory of Mato Grosso, particularly after the war of Paraguay (1865-1870), was always associated with the issue of security and defence policy of intensifying national military presence in the State of Mato Grosso uno with the installation of the 9th military region of the army in 1921, in the city of Campo Grande. We reviewed the Constitution of the professionalization of the military in the new State and its alignment to North American geopolitics after World War II through the development of the national security doctrine by Escola Superior de Guerra. Thus, the hypothesis that guides our research part of the understanding that the presence of the armed forces in the South of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul, until 1988, was linked to the geopolitical conception of capitalist occupation of territory and at the same time, the protection of cultural and political values of the so-called "Western Christian civilization." Thus, after the end of military dictatorship (1985) and the so-called "real socialism" (1991) the Brazilian military strategy has changed as a result of the new role assigned to the armed forces, whose traces can be observed in the creation of the Colegio Militar de Campo Grande. This College stands out from other public high schools in the State in the face of your infrastructure, your organization and your defense of hierarchy and discipline seated moral principles advocated by Émile Durkheim. In summary, we seek to answer the following questions: as if built historically the presence of military in Mato Grosso do Sul? How the internals of the College expressing the strategy adopted by the armed forces in this new role? What are the constituent elements of the school? The sources used were obtained through interviews and questionnaires, semistructured documents and bibliographies in both physical and virtual support. The basic theory analysis based explanatory theoretical Gramscian stance.
O presente trabalho de pesquisa tem como objeto de estudo a relação que se estabeleceu entre o Colégio Militar de Campo Grande, criado em 1993, e o contexto histórico sul-matogrossense advindo com o fim da Guerra Fria (1947-1991). Para tanto, estabelece os nexos entre as Forças Armadas e sua ocupação geopolítica em Mato Grosso do Sul, o significado dessa presença para a organização social dos sul-mato-grossenses, as relações de poder presentes, os processos de formação de ensino e como estes elementos se materializam no Colégio Militar de Campo Grande – Mato Grosso do Sul, inserindo-se no campo da História das Instituições Escolares. Partimos do pressuposto de que a sua criação durante a última década do século XX correlaciona-se com a constituição de um novo papel estabelecido pelas Forças Armadas após os governos militares (1964-1985). A ocupação do território sulista de Mato Grosso, particularmente após a Guerra do Paraguai (1865-1870), sempre esteve associado à questão da política de defesa e segurança nacional intensificando a presença dos militares no estado do Mato Grosso uno com a instalação da 9ª Região Militar do Exército, em 1921, na cidade de Campo Grande. Analisamos a constituição da profissionalização dos militares no Estado Novo e seu alinhamento a geopolítica norte- americana após a II Guerra Mundial por meio do desenvolvimento da Doutrina de Segurança Nacional pela Escola Superior de Guerra. Desta forma, a hipótese que norteia a nossa investigação parte da compreensão de que a presença das Forças Armadas no sul de Mato Grosso e Mato Grosso do Sul, até 1988, estava ligada à concepção geopolítica de ocupação capitalista do território e, ao mesmo tempo, à defesa dos valores culturais e políticos da chamada ―civilização ocidental cristã‖. Assim, após o fim da ditadura militar (1985) e do chamado ―socialismo real‖ (1991) a estratégia dos militares brasileiros mudou em decorrência do novo papel que foi atribuído às Forças Armadas, cujos traços podem ser observados na criação do Colégio Militar de Campo Grande. Este Colégio destaca-se de outros colégios públicos do Estado em face de sua infraestrutura, organização e de sua defesa da hierarquia e disciplina assentada nos princípios da moral preconizada por Émile Durkheim. Em síntese, buscamos responder as seguintes questões: como se construiu historicamente a presença dos militares em Mato Grosso do Sul? Como os elementos internos do colégio expressam a estratégia adotada pelas Forças Armadas nesse novo papel? Quais são os elementos constitutivos da escola? As fontes utilizadas foram obtidas por meio de entrevistas e questionários semi-estruturados, dos documentos e bibliografias tanto em suporte físico quanto virtual. A análise privilegiou a teoria gramsciana como base teórica explicativa.

Abstract:

L’objectif de ce travail était de caractériser la variabilité saisonnière des échanges gazeux des arbres de la canopée en forêt tropicale humide guyanaise confrontés à des saisons sèches.L’étude s’est orientée sur la mesure des flux de carbone et d’eau au cours des saisons sèches dans deux habitats contrastés du point de vue hydrique, afin de préciser leur sensibilité et réponse à la sècheresse. Nos résultats montrent qu’une proportion non négligeable d’arbres ne subit pas de sécheresse marquée en saison sèche, malgré la forte diminution de la teneur en eau du sol en surface. Nous faisons l’hypothèse que ces arbres possèdent alors des racines en profondeur qui leur permettent d’accéder aux horizons qui restent humides malgré la faible pluviométrie. Durant les longues saisons sèches, nous observons une diminution de l’assimilation nette de CO2 foliaire, de l’efflux de CO2 des troncs ou de la densité de flux de sève, et dans une moindre mesure de la respiration foliaire. Cette diminution concerne un nombre plus important d’arbres, quand l’intensité de la sécheresse est plus forte (2008 par rapport à 2007). Néanmoins, de grandes différences de réponse à la sècheresse du sol ont été observées, suggérant des sensibilités et des mécanismes de réponse différents entre ces arbres. En habitat de bas-fond, nous montrons une plus faible diminution des flux carbonés et hydriques en saison sèche, suggérant un accès pour ces arbres aux horizons humides, proches de la nappe phréatique. Par ailleurs, nos résultats suggèrent pour certains arbres un effet négatif des conditions d’anoxie sur ces flux en saison des pluies.Si l’accentuation de l’intensité des saisons sèches en forêt tropicale humide Amazonienne se confirme, comme suggérée par les modèles climatiques, ce travail suggère des modifications rapides de la composition spécifique des forêts, au profit des espèces plus résistantes aux contraintes hydriques
The aim of this work was to characterize the seasonal variations in leaf and trunk gas exchange of tropical rainforest canopy trees exposed to dry seasons. This study focused on measuring gas exchange (CO2 and H2O) at the leaf and trunk level during dry seasons in a Terra firme forest and in a seasonally flooded forest in order to specify their sensitivity and response to drought.Our results showed that part of the studied trees do not encounter a large reduction in soil water content during dry seasons, suggesting that they display deep rooting systems.During long dry periods, we recorded a decrease in leaf photosynthesis, trunk CO2 efflux or sap flow density, and foliar respiration to a lesser extent, for a majority of the trees. Nevertheless, large differences among trees in their response to these conditions were observed, suggesting distinct sensitivities and response to soil drought among trees. Furthermore, these variations were greatest when soil drought was highest (2008 as compared to 2007).In seasonally flooded forest, the decrease in gas exchange was less, suggesting that these trees do have access to wet layers during the dry season, close to the groundwater. However, during wet seasons, we observed a negative effect of anoxia for some trees, whereas others did not display any response, suggesting large differences in tolerance to anoxia among trees abundant in these seasonally flooded forests.We conclude that would seasonal soil droughts increase over the next decades, large vegetation changes might occur because of the large differences among trees in their functional response to soil drought conditions

Notre thèse s’est donnée pour objectif de réaliser une étude systématique de l’évolution architecturale du Château et de la Citadelle de Nice dans le contexte géopolitique du duché de Savoie de la fin du XIIIe siècle au début du XVIIIe siècle, passant des ouvrages des maîtres d’œuvre médiévaux à ceux des ingénieurs de l’époque moderne. Notre recherche a porté sur les constantes et sur les différences, sur la complexité du site remodelé au cours des siècles dans une topographie contraignante toute particulière. La prise en compte de l’espace et du temps a constitué un élément déterminant dans l’étude de cet ensemble architectural imposant, à une période où l’architecture militaire a connu une évolution fulgurante.Cette place forte a été également resituée dans l’ensemble fortifié pluriel se développant de la frontière des États italiens à celle de la Provence orientale, composé d’anciennes places fortes médiévales, modernes ou de transition. Pour tenter de restituer l’image, la forme et les transformations successives du Château de Nice aujourd’hui disparu, notre travail s’est appuyé sur l’étude des textes, de l’iconographie et sur une approche archéologique comparée du site.La réalité historique du Château de Nice peut ainsi retrouver sa place dans sa globalité architecturale, temporelle et géographique
The objective of our thesis was the systematic study of the architectural evolution of the Castle and Citadel of Nice against the geopolitical backdrop of the Duchy of Savoy from the late 13th century to the early 18th century, covering the work of the medieval master builders to those of the engineers of the modern era. Our research focused on the continuity and differences, and on the complexity of a site that was remodeled throughout the centuries in a quite particular and constrained topography. The concern for space and time was an integral component in the study of this imposing architectural estate, erected at a period when military architecture was undergoing a dramatic evolution. This fortified town was also reexamined as part of a manifold ensemble of fortifications composed of former medieval, modern or intermediate fortified towns, which expanded from the border of the Italian states to that of eastern Provence. In an attempt to revive the image, form, and successive transformations of the now destroyed Castle of Nice, our work drew on the study of texts and iconography, and on a comparative archeological study of the site.The historical reality of the Castle of Nice can therefore reclaim its architectural, temporal, and geographical unity

Abstract:

O uso múltiplo florestal é apontado na literatura científica como mais uma das estratégias win-win de conservação e desenvolvimento local. Porém, pode haver limitações, as quais ainda não foram totalmente elucidadas. A ausência de múltiplos produtos florestais não madeireiros (PFNM) disponíveis em um contexto local e a falta do interesse e capacidade das pessoas de coletarem tais produtos restringe o sucesso dessa estratégia. Este estudo teve, portanto, o objetivo de avaliar como diferentes fatores afetam esses aspectos citados e, consequentemente, a viabilidade da coleta de múltiplos PFNM, assim como o potencial de geração de renda monetária. Foram avaliados fatores ambientais, socioeconômicos, culturais e de percepção no contexto de sete localidades da Reserva Mamirauá, na Amazônia Central. A disponibilidade (ocorrência e abundância) dos PFNM fornecidos por cinco espécies de importância comercial na região (frutos de açaí, buriti e camu-camu, e sementes de andiroba e murumuru), o potencial econômico desses PFNM e os fatores ambientais foram avaliados no nível da localidade. O interesse e a capacidade das pessoas coletarem os múltiplos PFNM, bem como o fator de percepção (gosto pela coleta), foram avaliados no nível do indivíduo. Já os fatores socioeconômicos e culturais foram avaliados no nível da unidade doméstica. Para avaliar a disponibilidade, foram estabelecidos um total de 24 transectos entre as sete localidades, onde também foram estimados três fatores ambientais (radiação solar, topografia e quantidade de matéria orgânica no solo). O potencial econômico foi estimado a partir da abundância das espécies, da taxa anual da produção de frutos e sementes e do preço dos produtos. O interesse e a capacidade dos indivíduos de coletar, bem como os fatores socioeconômicos, culturais e de percepção (gosto pela coleta) foram estimados através de survey, por meio de entrevistas. Ao todo foram realizadas 195 entrevistas, sendo 75 no nível da unidade doméstica e 120 no nível do indivíduo. Notou-se que a ocorrência e abundância das espécies variaram entre as localidades, sendo que apenas E. precatoria e A. murumuru são abundantes em todas as localidades. Além disso, a disponibilidade dos PFNM também varia de acordo com a frutificação das espécies, que pode ser baixa em determinado ano. Portanto, a disponibilidade de PFNM pode ser o primeiro fator limitante para geração de renda monetária com a coleta de múltiplos PFNM. As variações nos fatores ambientais parecem afetar a concentração dos indivíduos das espécies, que possuem distribuição agregada. Em todas as localidades, a maioria dos indivíduos declarou interesse em coletar os cinco PFNM pesquisados, exceto o murumuru. Além das pessoas terem mais interesse em coletar os produtos que são mais consumidos e vendidos, o gosto pela coleta também é importante. Por último, a maioria dos indivíduos das sete localidades é apta a coletar todos os produtos avaliados, apesar das dificuldades envolvidas na coleta. Portanto, os resultados sugerem que os principais fatores limitantes para a coleta de múltiplos PFNM nas sete localidades da RDS Mamirauá estão relacionados a pouca quantidade de árvores ou palmeiras e à falta de interesse em coletar, que é desencadeada, por sua vez, pela falta do gosto de coletar, assim como pelo não costume de consumir e pela dificuldade de comercializar os PFNM.
The use of multiple forest resources has been pointed in the scientific literature as one of the most win-win strategies for conservation and local development. However, the limitations of this approach have not been completely determined. The unavailability of diverse non-timber forest products (NTFP) in a local context as well as the lack of motivation and ability of people to collect such products limits the success of this strategy. In this regard, our study aimed to evaluate the contribution of different factors to the above mentioned aspects, including the feasibility of the collection of multiple NTFP and its potential generation of monetary income. We evaluated the environmental, the socioeconomic, the cultural and the perception factors in seven sites of the central Amazon, at Mamirauá Reserve. In a local context, the economic potential and availability (presence and abundance) of NTFP provided by fruits and seeds of five important species found specifically in that region (açaí, buriti, camu-camu, andiroba and murumuru) were examined. In an individual level, we evaluated the personal motivation and ability of collecting the multiple NTFP, in addition to the perception factor (characterized by the pleasure of collecting). Further, we investigated the socioeconomic and cultural factors in the context of the domestic units. In order to measure the availability, 24 transects where established in seven Amazon sites. Environmental factors such as solar radiation, topography and the amount of organic compounds in the soil were also accessed. In order to estimate the economic potential, we considered the abundance of the species, the annual rate of fruits and seeds production and the product prices. To better address the individual motivation and ability in collecting the products and the socioeconomic, cultural and perception factors, surveys and interviews were performed. A total of 195 interviews were done: 75 at the domestic unit level and 120 at the individual level. Our study demonstrates that the presence and abundance of the species vary among the different localities, being the E. precatoria and A. murumuru the common species found in all the localities. Moreover, the availability of NTFP vary seasonally, according to the characteristics of fructification of every species. Hence, the availability of the NTFP might be the first limiting factor compromising the generation of monetary income. Changes in the environmental factors were found to affect the concentration of the individual of the species, which show an aggregated distribution. In all the localities, the vast majority of the subjects demonstrated to be interested in collecting the species, except the murumuru. We observed a higher motivation of people in collecting that products with a higher consumption and commercial rates. Finally, we found that a significant amount of subjects in the seven sites were able to collect all the products evaluated, regardless the difficulties underlain the collection process. In conclusion, our data suggest that the main limiting factors for the collection of multiple NTFPs in the seven localities of the Mamirauá RDS are related to a small number of trees or palms and the lack of motivation in collecting, which is triggered in turn by the lack of pleasure of collecting as well as for the non-habit of consuming and for the difficulty of commercializing.

Abstract:

Utvecklingen av yrkesofficersutbildningen, och de militära skolorna, är ständigt pågående för att möta Försvarsmaktens föränderliga behov. De senaste åren har förändringen skett i snabb takt och i stor omfattning. Utvecklingen av ett flerbefälssystem, en insatsorganisation med anställda soldater och akademiseringen av officersutbildningen har inte minst bidragit till denna utveckling och förändring. När många förändringar sker samtidigt kan det vara svårt att hålla ihop helheten och få alla delar att samspela för att uppnå en högre effekt. Vi har i denna studie studerat de nya yrkesofficerarnas arbetssituation, samt markstridsförbandens förutsättningar för att ge de nya kollegorna en gynnsam start på sin karriär. Vi har valt ett arbetsgivarperspektiv för vår studie, då vi uppfattar att det perspektivet saknas, i ett annars ganska välstuderat område. Vår förhoppning är att studien kan bidra i det fortsatta utvecklingsarbetet med Försvarsmaktens organisation, arbetsmetoder och styrdokument. Vår övergripande slutsats är att rådande omständigheter, huvudsakligen personalbristen, gör det mycket svårt för förband och chefer att följa Försvarsmaktens inriktande styrdokument och tillgodose de nya yrkesofficerarnas fortsatta behov av handledning och kompetensutveckling.
The development of the military educational system, and the military schools, is constantly ongoing to meet the changing needs of the Swedish Armed Forces. In recent years, the change has taken place at a rapid pace and to a large extent. A new rank system with officers and NCO’s has been launched, a new organization with employed soldiers have been implemented and the introduction of officers with a bachelor’s degree in military science have all contributed in a really big way to this development and change. When many changes occur at the same time, it can be difficult to keep the whole together and have all parts interact to achieve a higher effect. In this study we have studied the work situation of the new officers and NCOs, and the conditions, for the ground combat units, to give the new colleagues a favorable start to their career. We chose an employer perspective for our study, since that was the perspective we saw was missing, in this otherwise well studied area. Our intention with the study is to be able to contribute in the continued development work within the Swedish Armed Forces organization and guiding documents. Our overall conclusion is that the prevailing circumstances, such as staff shortages, make it very difficult for the units and managers to follow the Swedish Armed Forces guiding documents and meet the new officers' and NCO’s continuing need for guidance and skills acquisition.

Abstract:

Un rapport sénatorial de Juin 2019 estime le parc d’ouvrages vieillissants de la France à plus de 25000 ponts routiers. Une des solutions préconisées pour éviter la ruine de ces structures est leur renforcement par collage de matériaux composites. Cette solution technique permet d’augmenter la durée de vie des ouvrages tout en prenant en compte de nouvelles sollicitations (augmentation drastique du trafic et risques sismiques). Cependant, elle est efficace que lorsque le joint de colle est bien exécuté et exempt de tout défaut ou endommagement. Ainsi, son utilisation est limitée par une méconnaissance de la qualité réelle des joints de colle sur site. L’objectif de cette thèse est de proposer à partir d’une technique non destructive, les acoustoultrasons, une méthodologie de détection et d’identification des principaux types de défauts rencontrés dans des assemblages collés. Les deux types de substrats les plus communément utilisés en génie civil à savoir l’acier et le béton ont été étudiés dans cette thèse. Par le biais d’une analyse monoparamétrique et d’une analyse statistique en composantes principales (ACP), l’ensemble des défauts créés dans des assemblages d’acier-composite et de béton-composite ont été détectés avec succès. L’identification de ces défauts a été obtenue grâce aux outils de l’intelligence artificielle (IA) à travers l’algorithme de classification de la forêt d’arbres décisionnels. Les facteurs pouvant influencer cette méthodologie ont été passés en revue avant qu’elle ne soit validée sur des échantillons de plus grande échelle, proches des réalisations sur site. Enfin, via une simulation par éléments finis de la propagation du signal dans un assemblage collé, nous soulignons les perspectives que peut offrir cette technique dans la constitution de bibliothèques d’apprentissage pour l’application des techniques de l’IA au diagnostic et au pronostic de l’état de joints de colle
A Senate report from June 2019 estimates France’s ageing structures at more than 25,000 road bridges. One of the recommended solutions to prevent the collapse of these structures is their bonding reinforcement of composite materials. This technical solution allows us to increase their lifeservice by taking into account new acquired stresses (drastic increase in traffic and seismic risks). However, the reinforcing is effective only when the adhesively bonded joint is well executed and free of defects or damages. Thus, the use of this method is limited by a lack of knowledge of the real quality of adhesive joints on site. The objective of this thesis is to propose from a nondestructive technique, the acousto-ultrasonics, a methodology of detection and identification of all types of defects encountered in adhesively bonded assemblies.We studied the most common types of substrates used in civil engineering: steel and concrete. Through a mono-parametric analysis and a statistical principal components analysis (PCA), all the elaborated defects in compositesteel and composite-concrete assemblies were successfully detected. The identification of these defects was obtained using Machine Learning tools through the Random Forest classification algorithm. The factors that could influence this methodology were studiedbefore it was validated on specimens of a larger scale, closer to the on-site achievements. Finally, through a finite element simulation of signal propagation in a bonded assembly, we underline the perspectives that this technique can offer in building learning libraries for the application of Machin Learning techniques to the diagnosis and prognosis of the state of adhesively bonded joints

Abstract:

Ce travail, visant la complexite morphogenetique, historique et ecologique des forets hydromorphes developpees sur les limons des plateaux et terrasses du bas-dauphine, s'inscrit dans le cadre des etudes des relations vegetation - sol - milieu - fonctionnement. Le facteur temps (paleopedogeneses) et l'anthropisation (importance des taillis de chataignier) sont integres et hierarchises dans cette approche ecologique et fonctionnelle des ecosystemes forestiers. Les forets sur limons sont toutes developpees sur des sols de type pseudogley ou redoxisol, a caracteres morphologiques engendres par les processus d'hydromorphie : traces d'oxydo-reduction, concretions ferro-manganiques, glosses ou langues de degradation. Or la diversite floristique, traduisant des differences de fonctionnement des ecosystemes, s'oppose a cette homogeneite morphologique des profils. Suite a l'analyse phytoecologique des forets collineennes sur materiaux tertiaires et quaternaires du piemont des alpes septentrionales francaises, cinq stations hydromorphes sur limons sont mises en evidence (rattachees aux lonicero periclymeni-carpinenion betuli rameau 81 et aux quercenion robori-petraeae (br. -b1. 32) rivas-martinez 82), definies et determinees par le pedoclimat (regime hydrique) et l'acidite minerale. Le fonctionnement des forets hydromorphes est interprete par : - analyse et hierarchisation des facteurs du milieu en fonction de leur role sur le determinisme stationel : geomorphologie, topographie, microtopographie et diversite lithologiqaue (synthese des travaux de bornand (1978) sur les alterites des materiaux fluvio-glaciaires et molassiques - etude physico-chimique et micromorphologique de coupes de limons polyphases), - caracterisation phytoecologique et pedologique des stations. La pedogenese actuelle et le fonctionnement hydrodynamique des sols, masques par l'heritage de paleopedogeneses, sont abordes a l'aide d'indices granulometriques et cristallochimiques (distribution des formes du fer, type et evolution des mineraux argileux). Les divergences morphologie/pedogenese, donc les differences pedoclimatiques des stations forestieres, sont verifiees par l'analyse comparee de profils de porosites : l'hydromorphie est, soit de surface (pedoclimat contraste - pseudogley), soit profonde ou fossile (pedoclimat non contraste - sol lessive a pseudogley ou sol brun).

Abstract:

Les particules atmosphériques sont un sujet d’importance dans plusieurs couches de la société. Leur présence dans l’atmosphère est aussi bien une problématique météorologique et climatique qu’un enjeu de santé publique, notamment de par l’accroissement des maladies cardiovasculaires. En particulier, les particules radioactives émises dans l’atmosphère à la suite d’un accident nucléaire peuvent polluer les écosystèmes durant plusieurs années. Le récent accident du Centre Nucléaire de Production d’Électricité de Fukushima Daiichi en 2011 nous rappelle que, même aujourd’hui, le risque zéro n’existe pas. À la suite d’une émission dans l’atmosphère, les particules nanométriques diffusent et s’agglomèrent alors que les particules de plusieurs micromètres sédimentent. Les tailles intermédiaires vont, quant à elles, pouvoir être transportées à l’échelle globale dont le mécanisme principal de rabattement au sol provient des interactions avec les nuages et les précipitations. Afin d’améliorer la connaissance de la contamination des sols consécutive à de tels accidents, la compréhension de la capture des aérosols par les nuages est alors essentielle. Dans ce but, un modèle microphysique est implémenté dans ce travail, considérant les mécanismes microphysiques qui interviennent dans la capture des aérosols par des gouttes de nuage, notamment les forces électrostatiques dès lors que les radionucléides ont pour propriété de fortement se charger. Des mesures en laboratoire sont alors réalisées à l’aide de In-CASE (In-Cloud Aerosols Scavenging Experiment), expérience conçue dans ce travail, afin de comparer le modèle développé aux observations, et ce, toujours à une échelle microphysique où les paramètres d’influence régissant la capture au sein du nuage sont contrôlés. Par ailleurs, des systèmes de charge des particules et des gouttes sont conçus pour soigneusement maîtriser les charges électriques, tandis que l’humidité relative est précisément pilotée. Les nouvelles connaissances de la capture des particules par des gouttes de nuage qui en découlent, concernant entre autres les effets électrostatiques, sont ensuite incorporées au modèle de nuage convectif DESCAM (Detailed SCAvenging Model). Ce modèle à microphysique détaillée décrit un nuage de sa formation jusqu’aux précipitations, permettant d’étudier l’impact des nouvelles données sur le rabattement des particules à méso-échelle. De plus, des modifications sont apportées à DESCAM pour élargir l’étude aux nuages stratiformes qui constituent en France, la majorité des précipitations. À terme, cette étude ouvre la voie à l’amélioration de la modélisation du rabattement atmosphérique des particules, et notamment à la contamination des sols dans les modèles de crise de l’Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire
Atmospheric particles are a key topic in many social issues. Their presence in this atmosphere is a meteorological and climatic subject, as well as a public health concern since these particles are correlated with the increase of cardiovascular diseases. Specially, radioactive particles emitted as a result of a nuclear accident can jeopardise ecosystems for decades. The recent accident at the Fukushima Daiichi’s nuclear power plant in 2011 reminds us that the risk, even extremely unlikely, exists.After a release of nuclear material in the atmosphere, nanometric particles diffuse and coagulate, while micrometric particles settle due to gravity. Nevertheless, the intermediate size particles can be transported at a global scale when the main mechanism involved in their scavenging comes from the interaction with clouds and their precipitations. To enhance the ground contamination knowledge after such accidental releases, the understanding of the particle in-cloud collection is thus essential. For this purpose, a microphysical model is implemented in this work, including the whole microphysical mechanisms acting on the particle collection by cloud droplets like the electrostatic forces since radionuclides are well-known to become significantly charged. Laboratory measurements are then conducted through In-CASE (In-Cloud Aerosols Scavenging Experiment), a novel experiment built in this work, to get comparisons between modelling and observations, once again at a microphysical scale where every parameter influencing the particle in-cloud collection is controlled. Furthermore, two systems to electrically charge particles and droplets are constructed to set the electric charges carefully while the relative humidity level is also regulated. These new research results related to the particle collection by cloud droplets following the electrostatic forces, among others effects, are thus incorporated into the convective cloud model DESCAM (Detailed SCAvenging Model). This detailed microphysical model describes a cloud from its formation to the precipitations, allowing the study at a meso-scale of the impact of the new data on the particle scavenging. Moreover, some changes are made in DESCAM to expand the study to stratiform clouds since the major part of the French precipitations come from the stratiform ones. Finally, this work paves the way for the enhancement of the atmospheric particle scavenging modelling, including the ground contamination in the crisis model used by the French Institute in Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety

Abstract:

L’Histoire des écoles d’horlogerie de Besançon est inhérente à la naissance et à la continuité d’une industrie spécifique très localisée sur un territoire. Avec elles nous partons de l’ère « proto-industrielle » qui plonge ses racines dans les idéaux révolutionnaires de 1793 pour aboutir aux bouleversements technologiques de l’électronique et du « quartz » des années 1970… S’inscrivant sur la longue durée, trois « écoles » vont se succéder. Pour répondre aux attentes d’une industrie horlogère qui doit constamment faire face aux évolutions techniques, chacune à sa manière, va innover pour constituer un « corpus » original de formation qui n’est pas sans bousculer les rites et usages du temps. Si les deux premières « écoles » eurent une durée de vie limitée, la dernière entité, née en 1861 de la volonté municipale, va pendant plus d’un siècle, accompagner toute une ville (et sa région) dans sa réussite industrielle. Dès sa création, et au fur et à mesure des adaptations qu’elle a su mettre en place, par la qualité et la spécificité des formations dispensées, elle va irriguer de ses élèves toute une industrie toujours à l’affût de personnels qualifiés. Au plan national elle va diffuser le nom de Besançon comme « capitale française de l’horlogerie » en formant nombre d’horlogers-rhabilleurs tenant boutiques et autres ateliers de réparation par tout le territoire… Elle va servir de référence pour implanter dans la Cité des laboratoires de recherche et d’enseignement supérieur : un Observatoire chronométrique, une École d’ingénieurs, un Centre d’études horlogères et de développement industriel (Cétéhor)… Elle va contribuer à la diversification industrielle de la ville dans des domaines connexes à l’horlogerie, notamment dans le découpage, la micromécanique, l’appareillage et les microtechniques… Nationalisée en 1891, elle fait dès lors partie de la petite élite des Écoles Nationales Professionnelles (par assimilation), qui vont marquer le développement industriel du Pays. En 1933, quand elle intègre ses nouveaux locaux, par le nombre et l’originalité de ses filières (de l’ouvrier qualifié à l’ingénieur), par sa dotation en matériels modernes, elle est signalée comme étant le « premier établissement de l’enseignement technique » en France. Le cheminement de cette dernière école fait aussi ressortir une histoire « humaine », « prosopographique », qui met en exergue les nombreux anciens élèves qui se sont lancés avec grande réussite dans la création d’entreprises. Restés fidèles à leur école, ils ont contribué au renom et au développement de la richesse économique de la cité et de sa région… Avec ces écoles d’horlogerie, on aborde enfin l’histoire de l’Enseignement Technique en France. Pour répondre à la demande d’une industrie horlogère en pleine croissance qui déplorait les carences de l’apprentissage en atelier, elles ont été pionnières en ouvrant la voie de « la scolarisation » de la formation professionnelle. Par leurs innovations pédagogiques, et soutenues par les Anciens Élèves, elles ont su établir un lien « École-Entreprise » des plus fructueux qui marque encore la mémoire collective des Bisontins…En 1974 elle perd toute référence à l’horlogerie pour devenir le Lycée Jules Haag. Le temps de l’histoire est désormais advenu pour tenter de comprendre ce qui a fait la force et la réussite de ces « Écoles d’horlogerie » dans leur participation active, sur la durée, à la prospérité économique et industrielle d’une ville et de sa région…
The history of the watchmaking schools in Besançon is part of the birth and continuous development of a specific industry in a very limited sector of the French territory. When studying those schools we start at the « protoindustrial » time with its roots in the revolutionary ideals of 1793 and end up with the technological upheavals of electronics and the « quartz » technology in the 1970s. Three « schools » followed one another over the long term. Each school aimed at satisfying the demands of a watchmakng industry confronted to rapidly changing technical evolutions ; so it innovated in its own way by creating an original « corpus » in the students training and most of the time upset the practices and common ideas of the time. If the first two « schools » had a limited lifespan, the last one created in 1861 by the town council itself has been supporting the industrial growth of the city and the surrounding region. Since its foundation it has stuck to the industrial reality by placing the emphasis on high standards and opening new specific branches whenever necessary, thus answering the needs of firms always looking for highly qualified staff. For a large number of French people Besançon became the « capital town of the watchmaking industry » thanks to the shops or repair workshops kept by Besançon-trained former students all over France… It served as a background to set up research and university laboratories in the city : Observatoire Chronométrique, Ecole d’Ingénieurs, Centre d’Etudes Horlogères et de Développement Industriel (Cétéhor)… It contributed to the industrial diversification of the town in fields related to watchmaking such as mechanical cutting, micromechanics, equipment and microtechniques. It was nationalized in 1891 and then belonged to the very small elite goup of the Professional National Schools that influenced the future industrial development of the country. In 1933 it moved into sparkling-new premises and was acknowledged as the flagship of technical education in France : it offered a large number of innovating courses ranging from the skilled worker to the engineer and was granted the latest equipments in every field. The path of this new school also enhanced a « humane » and « prosopographical » history ; it highlighted the part played by the numerous former students who created their own successful businesses. Being faithful to their old school they contributed to the renown and economic growth and prosperity of the city and its region… Beyond the local impact we must regard the history of the watchmaking schools as an important part of the history of Technical Education in France. To meet the needs of a soaring watchmaking industry they opened the way to the transfer of professional training from apprenticeship in workshops with its observed shortcomings to education in technical high schools. Their pedagogical innovations, the strong support of their former students created a vital school-business link that still lives on in the collective memory of the town inhabitants.In 1974 its name changed to Lycée Jules Haag thus losing any reference to watchmaking. Let us now try and understand the strong influence and success of those watchmaking schools, the active part they played in the economic industrial prosperity of a town and its surrounding region…

Abstract:

Les intendants militaires constituent une catégorie particulière d’officiers qui s’occupent des besoins de la vie courante du soldat. Ils sont crées en 1815 et remplacent les commissaires des guerres et les inspecteurs aux revues. Leur étude comprend deux parties. La première est destinée à présenter leurs caractéristiques sociales et militaires générales et leur place dans les débats sur l’administration militaire et la communauté militaire. Elle comprend les domaines suivants : - l’origine géographique, - l’âge et le grade au mariage, - la profession des pères et des beaux-pères, - la composition et le montant des dots, - les dossiers de demande d’autorisation de mariage, - les demandes de bourses pour les écoles militaires, - la place de la vie privée dans les appréciations données par leurs supérieurs. - l’origine du recrutement (saint-cyriens, polytechniciens, soldats), - les causes des fins de carrières - les grands évènements de la carrière (entrée dans le corps de contrôle de l’administration, interruptions de service, mutations), - la remise en question de l’intendance militaire au cours des débats sur l’administration militaire après la défaite de1870, et notamment sa place vis-à-vis du commandement, - la place des officiers d’administration et des médecins militaires, - l’image des intendants parmi les autres officiers. La seconde partie expose les déroulements des carrières, elle comporte les points suivants : - les résultats de la scolarité dans les écoles militaires et leur influence sur les appréciations données par leurs supérieurs et l’avancement ; - les carrières dans l’arme d’origine (l’influence des appréciations, des félicitations et des punitions), - les conditions du passage dans l’intendance (le concours, la formation administrative), - les carrières dans l’intendance (l’influence de la carrière dans l’arme d’origine, les rôles de l’origine et des appréciations dans l’accès aux différents grades, les projections de carrières à partir du premier grade)
The intendants establish an officers’s particular body who deal with the support of the common life of the soldier. They are create in 1815 and replace captains of the wars and inspectors in reviews. Their study includes two parts. The first one intended to present their general social and military characteristics. It includes the following domains : - the geographical origine, - the age and the rank in the marriage, - the profession of the fathers and the fathers in law, - the composition and the amount of dowries, - files of wedding authorization request, - applications for a scholarship for military academies, - place of the private life in the appreciations given by their supériors, - the origin of the recruitment (graduests of St. Cyr, graduests of Polytechnique prestige engineering school, soldiers), - the causes of ends of carreer, - big events of the career (entered the body of control of the administration, interruptions of service, tranfers). - the questioning of the military estate management after the defeat of 1870, in particular its place face to face of the command ; - the place of the officers of administration et of the military medical officers, - the image of the bursars among the others officers.

Abstract:

This dissertation examines how the formal schooling trajectories of forced migrant women from Africa and the Middle East are shaped by the ongoing confrontation of the women with the policies and practices of the community college they attend. It is based on ethnographic fieldwork done at a community college in the largest metropolitan area in the otherwise predominantly rural state of Maine. This work is motivated by an interest in the validity of the rhetoric of community college as the vehicle for upward social mobility for marginalized populations. The students in the study are constructed as various types of minorities: linguistic, racial, religious, national, depending on the bureaucratic, social or schooling context. Because of the ideology of equal opportunity, often the only documentation by the community college of minority status is their language status that is recognized in the standardized entrance exam. Racial and national origin information is voluntary and commonly left blank on official forms, but, along with religion, are made meaningful both in and outside of the classroom through interactions with white peers and teachers. Forced migrant students experience this construction of otherness, and react through the formation of social support networks made up exclusively of forced migrants where they teach each other ways of adaption and resistance. Because of the conditions that led to their flight, forced migrants have survived traumatic situations, face language barriers and may have interrupted formal schooling, as well as retain familial obligations around the globe that present unique challenges. The community college does not fully recognize these challenges, and maintains a narrow standard that is upheld through teaching practices and the use of standardized exams, which serve to marginalize forced migrant students. This marginalization translates into low graduation rates for forced migrants, effectively blocking any upward social mobility to be gained from the community college.

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to report on the identification of selected forces, connections and imagination influencing Chinese students to study in Australia. Previous research has investigated the ranges of drives generating the burgeoning number of students from the People’s Republic of China seeking to complete their tertiary education overseas. However, little research addresses the role of parents in decision making when they study the question of “Why choose Australia?” This research is based on a study using a focus group in Sydney in 2014 (n = 21), Internet questionnaires in Beijing and Lianyungang (n = 635) and follow-up telephone email interviews in Beijing, Shanghai, Lianyungang and Sydney (n = 12). The participants in this study were all students from the People’s Republic of China, mainly the children from High Net Wealth Income families. The analyses of the evidence from the focus group interviews produced five themes, namely; quality of education, cost, lifestyle, environment and labour migration opportunities. These themes were further investigated by the Internet questionnaire and refined in follow-up interviews with parents and students after the data had been analysed. In addition, evidence regarding these themes was collected through media and government reports regarding corruption in China and Australia. The findings from this research revealed four insights unrecognised by previous research into the main research question: 1. It is the parents who in many cases decide the host country destination and choice of university. 2. Interviewing students may not uncover the motives that influenced the parents’ decisions. 3. Overseas education per se is a prime driver of choice, rather than quality of education. 4. Corruption, especially money laundering, and transcultural immigration are the main motives driving many families’ choices of university in Australia. This thesis has changed directions many times throughout the investigation. It brings a fresh perspective on the forces, connections and imaginations influencing students to study in Australia, but at the same time it has raised questions that it was not able to completely answer.
