Godeau, Amélie. "Cyclic contractions contribute to 3D cell motility." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016STRAF038/document.
Full textCell motility is an important process in Biology. It is mainly studied on 2D planar surfaces, whereas cells experience a confining 3D environment in vivo. We prepared a 3D Cell Derived Matrix (CDM) labeled with fluorescently labeled fibronectin, and strikingly cells managed to deform the matrix with specific patterns : contractions occur cyclically with two contraction centers at the front and at the back of the cell, with a period of ~14 min and a phase shift of ~3.5 min. These cycles enable cells to optimally migrate through the CDM, as perturbation of cycles led to reduced motility. Acto-myosin was established to be the driving actor of these cycles, by using specific inhibitors. We were able to trigger cell motility externally with local laser ablations, which supports this framework of two alternating contractions involved in motion. Altogether, this study reveals a new mechanism of dynamic cellular behaviour linked to cell motility

Full textThe full understanding of a ceramic matrix composite under fatigue loading is needed in view of industrial applications. It is necessary to determine the damage mechanisms chronology and to be able to forecast the lifetime of the material in the conditions of use. To reach these purposes, a mechanical characterisation has to be done as well as the definition of damage indicators. It is then interesting to link the analysis of mechanical parameters and microscope observations with a non-destructive monitoring technique. Acoustic emission (AE) appears to be a good candidate to monitor material damage under loading. It makes the quantification and the material damage localisation possible. In this study, indicators based on released acoustic energy are used as "Severity" of signals or "Sentry function" which depends on both acoustic and mechanical energies. This work is organised in two parts. First, the analysis of mechanical parameters behaviour, material microstructure and global evolution of acoustic emission under static and cyclic loading makes the characterisation of the effects of cyclic fatigue on the material possible. The second part consists in determining a damage scenario. First acoustic emission signals are analysed depending on their acquisition during a cycle (loading or unloading). Then the connection between the acoustic emission signals and the different damage mechanisms, using a supervised clustering method, facilitated the estimation of the activation of these different damage mechanisms during cyclic fatigue tests. This study pointed out different damage mechanisms generated by cyclic loading, which are mainly debonding and friction at matrix/fibre and matrix/matrix interfaces. In addition, damage indicators based on acoustic emission enabled to determine characteristic times which can be used for lifetime forecast. For example, signal severity shows a characteristic time between 25% and 45% of the time to ultimate failure. Detection of this time in real-time during a test can be used to estimate the time of the ultimate failure of the material
DI, GRAVINA LUCA MARIA. "Some questions about the Möbius function of finite linear groups." Doctoral thesis, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, 2022. http://hdl.handle.net/10281/371474.
Full textThe Möbius function of locally finite partially ordered sets is a classical tool in enumerative combinatorics. It is a generalization of the number-theoretic Möbius function and it has several applications in group theory, from the Euler characteristic of subgroup complexes to algebraic aspects of cellular automata. In the first part of the thesis, we recall some basic notions about the order structures which are related to the Möbius function, and we present its main properties, such as the Möbius inversion formula and Crapo's theorems. Moreover, we investigate some relevant connections with group-theoretical topics to motivate our interest in the Möbius function of finite linear groups. In the second part, we work on these groups to obtain information about their Möbius function, and our original results are useful to compute it if we know the structure of some special subspace lattices related to subgroups. We study in detail the case of distributive subspace lattices. Then we show an example of a subgroup in the general linear group, such that the subspace lattice associated to the subgroup is non-distributive. In this way, we see that our arguments can also be applied to different situations, under certain conditions. In the last part of the thesis, we connect the previously obtained results to an open question about finitely generated profinite groups and finite almost-simple groups, introducing an original approach to the problem. Although we do not completely answer to this last question, we get some useful partial results.
Dridi, Marwa. "Sur les méthodes rapides de résolution de systèmes de Toeplitz bandes." Thesis, Littoral, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016DUNK0402/document.
Full textThis thesis aims to design new fast algorithms for numerical computation via the Toeplitz matrices. First, we introduced a fast algorithm to compute the inverse of a triangular Toeplitz matrix with real and/or complex numbers based on polynomial interpolation techniques. This algorithm requires only two FFT (2n) is clearly effective compared to predecessors. A numerical accuracy and error analysis is also considered. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our method. In addition, we introduced a fast algorithm for solving a linear banded Toeplitz system. This new approach is based on extending the given matrix with several rows on the top and several columns on the right and to assign zeros and some nonzero constants in each of these rows and columns in such a way that the augmented matrix has a lower triangular Toeplitz structure. Stability of the algorithm is discussed and its performance is showed by numerical experiments. This is essential to connect our algorithms to applications such as image restoration applications, a key area in applied mathematics

Full textTissue Engineering aims to fabricate bio-prostheses by regenerating or culture, in vivo or in vitro, tissues or organs. In the in vitro strategy, developing new tools such as bioréactors which allow the culture of cells or tissues under their specific mechanical solicitations is a huge point. Moreover, the last advances of this discipline in regeneration of tissues require new mechanical model allowing their evaluation and comparison to native tissue under physiological loading. Indeed, in order to obtain a good evaluation of their mechanical quality, it is important to be able to applied mechanical solicitations linked to physiological ones. As a first step, a bioreactor of ligament allowing the culture of cells under mechanical solicitations of cyclic traction-torsion was designed and developed. This bioreactor was sized to potentially obtain a bio-prosthesis comparable to native tissue in term of size (4 to 5 cm long). In a second time, a mechanical model was elaborated based on a thermodynamic formalism developed in our laboratory and the observation made on rabbit Achilles tendons. The goals of this model are to improve our knowledge on the mayor structures involved into the mechanical quality of theses tissues and to evaluate and optimise the scaffolds and neo-tissues of substitution

Full textIn this thesis, a multi-scale model established from the concept of periodic homogenization is utilized to study the cyclic and time-dependent response of thermoplastic-based woven composites. With the proposed approach, the macroscopic behaviour of the composite is determined from a finite element simulation of the representative unit cell of the periodic microstructure, where the local constitutive behaviours of the components are directly integrated, namely: the matrix and the yarns. The local response of the thermoplastic matrix is described by a phenomenological multi-mechanisms constitutive model accounting for viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity and ductile damage. For the yarns, a hybrid micromechanical-phenomenological constitutive model is considered. The latter accounts for anisotropic damage and anelasticity induced by the presence of a diffuse micro-crack network through the micromechanical description of a micro-cracked representative volume element. The capabilities of the multi-scale model are validated by comparing the numerical prediction with experimental data. The capabilities of the model are also illustrated through several examples where the composite undergoes time-dependent deformations under monotonic loading, constant or cyclic stress levels and non-proportional multi-axial loading. Furthermore, the multi-scale model is also employed to analyse the influence of the local deformation processes on the macroscopic response of the composite

Full textThis work treats the influence of the microstructural heterogeneities on the multiaxial high cycle fatigue (HCF) strength of cast aluminium alloys used in an automobile context. The characteristic microstructural heterogeneities present in this family of materials are the aluminium matrix (often characterised by the SDAS and/or the DAS and the precipitation hardening level), inclusions (silicon particles and intermetallics) and casting defects (oxide films and casting porosity).In order to clearly decouple these effects, three cast Al-Si alloys, obtained thank to different casting processes (gravity die casting and lost foam die casting) and associated with several heat treatments (T7 and Hot isostatic pressing-HIP), have been investigated. The HIP treatment is used in order to obtain a porosity free alloy. A vast experimental HCF campaign, including four loading modes (uniaxial (R=-1), torsion (R=-1), combined tension-torsion (R=-1) and equibiaxial tension (R=0.1)) has been undertaken. The following effects on the HCF behaviour have been characterised for the porosity free alloy as well as porosity containing alloys: (a) the effect of the multiaxiality (for the loading modes at R=-1), (b) the effect of the mean stress and (c) the effect of the biaxality (for equibiaxial tensile loads at R=0.1). The fatigue damage mechanisms have been studied in order to highlight the roles of the casting pores, the aluminium matrix and the inclusions on the fatigue damage mechanisms.Two analytical fatigue models are proposed. The first one concerns the effect of the loaded volume on the uniaxial fatigue strength of the porosity containing alloys using an approach to predict of the maximum pore size in a given volume. The second model, based on a probabilistic approach, takes into account the competition between the different observed damage mechanisms and leads to a Kitagawa-Takahashi type diagrams for different loading modes. It is shown that these analytical models result in good predictions for the three materials investigated and the four loading modes.A numerical study, presented in the last section, is related to the 3D finite element analysis of real pores. Real pore geometries are obtained thank to micro-tomography observations. The principal aim of this study is to evaluate the possibility of predicting the fatigue strength at the macroscopic scale thanks to the local mechanical behaviour around critical pores

Full textGenomic imprinting is an epigenetic mechanism leading to the repression of one allele of a gene, depending on its parental origin. This mechanism affects a small number of genes in metatherian and eutherian mammals. These genes, named imprinted genes (IGs), display various molecular functions and thus seem unrelated. However, their alterations are frequently associated with the control of embryonic growth and tumorigenesis. My PhD project has consisted in demonstrating a functional link between IGs. We show that IGs are frequently co-expressed and belong to a common gene network. They are co-regulated in biological situations corresponding to the transitions between different cellular states. Coordinated induction of most IGs takes place at the outputs of the cell cycle. Loss and gain of function experiments of several IGs in the 3T3-L1 pre-adipocyte model demonstrate a role of the IG network in controlling transitions between cellular states (proliferation, quiescence and differentiation). In addition to IGs, this network also includes bi-allelic genes, with many extracellular matrix genes. Therefore, the function associated with the IG network could be the fine control of transitions between cellular states through a remodeling of the extracellular matrix.To conclude, in addition to the identification of a common cellular function for IGs, our results suggest a possible scenario for the targeting of these genes by parental genomic imprinting during mammalian evolution

Full textIn this thesis, our goal is to study various aspects of root systems of simple Lie algebras. In the first part, we study the coordinates of the eigenvectors of the Cartan matrices. We start by generalizing the work of physicists who showed that the particle masses of the affine Toda field theory are equal to the coordinates of the Perron -- Frobenius eigenvector of the Cartan matrix. Then, we adopt another approach. Namely, using the ideas coming from the singularity theory, we compute the coordinates of the eigenvectors of some root systems. In the second part, inspired by Givental's ideas, we introduce q-deformations of Cartan matrices and we study their spectrum and their eigenvectors. Then, we propose a q-deformation of Toda's equations et compute 1-solitons solutions, using the Hirota's method and Hollowood's work. Finally, our interest is focused on a set of transformations which induce an action of the braid group on the set of ordered root basis. In particular, we study an orbit for this action, the set of distinguished basis and some associated matrices

Full textThe introduction of composite materials in critical structural parts for aircrafts represents a real technological breakthrough and requires specific studies to understand their behavior and durability. This work aims to characterize and understand the ageing mechanisms incarbon/epoxy 3D interlock composites when they are submitted to thermal cycling.For this purpose, a thermal cycle test (-55°C/120°C), whose heat and gaseous environment istotally mastered, was set up for the ageing of composite samples of elemental interlock pattern dimensions. Analysis of induced degradation mechanisms was achieved by i/ the development ofa 3D quantitative characterization method of the evolution of microcracks during cycling, basedon observations by microtomography RX and the development of a specific image processing procedure, ii/ the development of an in situ thermal cycle test under synchrotron light, coupled to a digital volume correlation technique, and iii/finite elements simulations taking into account the actual mesoscopic architecture of the samples and the thermo-viscoelastic behavior of thematrix.The results reveal complex thermo-chemo-mechanical couplings that are linked to four important parameters: time (and the number of cycles), the interlock architecture, the matrix toughness andits sensitivity to thermo-oxidation

Full textThis study deals with the development of polylactide based composites by RTM (Resin Transfer Molding). It focuses on the in-situ ring opening polymerization (ROP) of L-lactide in the RTM process in order to obtain, in a single step, a composite with a biobased, biodegradable and biocompatible matrix, presenting a good impregnation of the fibers by the matrix for a high reinforcement rate. First, preliminary mass polymerization tests (solvent-free) of L-lactide in flasks at the gram scale and in the absence of reinforcement were carried out. These experiments enable to choose the initial conditions enabling to reach high molecular mass PLLA matrices (Mn = 70 000 - 100 000 g.mol-1) containing the lowest residual L-lactide content (conversions up to 90 %). These characteristics are indeed essential to reach optimal thermomechanical properties of the PLLA matrix, suitable for composite applications. Polymerization tests on a gram scale in the presence of fibers of different kinds have then been carried out in order to evaluate their influence on the polymerization. Woven glass fibers display the least influence (conversion and molecular masses up to 90% and 70 000 g.mol-1, respectively). The experimental conditions determined above have been first transposed and adjusted for the production by RTM of polylactide/glass fiber composites obtained from L-lactide catalyzed by tin octoate. The RTM process was optimized by varying different experimental parameters such as the monomer mass, catalyst concentration, fiber quantity, tank heating, injection pressure and mold pressure and temperature. The physico-chemical and mechanical properties of the composites obtained were also studied. PLLA/glass fiber composites display conversions up to 95% and molar masses of up to 80 000 g.mol-1. The RTM conditions show no influence on the thermal (Tg = 50 °C; Tf = 170 °C) and structural (crystallization in the α phase) properties of the polylactide matrix. In addition, the tensile strength and Young's modulus of those composites can reach 200 MPa and 6 GPa respectively. The last part concerns the production of PLLA matrix composites by RTM process in the presence of catalysts presenting lower toxicity than tin octoate, the catalyst used industrially for the polymerization of L-lactide. Catalysts based on titanium, zinc, magnesium and calcium were consequently studied, but only the zinc catalyst leads to a material suitable for composite application (conversion and Mn up to 90% and 30 000 g.mol-1). Although the resulting mechanical properties are lower than those obtained with the tin catalyst (σ = 93 MPa and E = 3,3 GPa).Finally, the use of recycled fibers as the reinforcement instead of glass fibers was also studied in the presence of tin octoate. Although the high conversions (95-98%) and molar masses (Mn up to 60 800 g.mol-1) have been achieved, the resulting mechanical properties are much lower than those obtained in the presence of glass fibers (σ = 65 MPa and E = 2,2 GPa)

Full textIn the present context, where the preservation of resources and sustainable development became the main issues of this century, the production of more efficient and environmentally friendly materials is essential. Thus, this work deals with thedevelopment of biobased polymeric porous matrix using SC-CO2. The use of PLA makes it possible to produce 100% biosourced and biodegradable matrices, while the use of CO2-SC reduces the ecological impact of the shaping processes. In a first step, a parametric study of PLA matrix shaping by a thermal induced phase separation (TIPS) method coupled to CO2 drying was performed. Low density microcellular matrices were obtained with tunable structural and mechanical properties. The whole process was analyze by life cycle assessment and the results showed that SC-CO2 replacing freeze drying has reduced the environmental impact between 50 and 90%. Secondly, a phase separation in situ study by tomography-X synchrotron radiation tomography allowed us to better understand the mechanics of our process. Finally, the last part of this work was devoted to the implementation of a solvent free process, using SC-CO2 as a blowing agent. The results obtained were used to carry out a comparative study of the two processes developed

Full textThe matrix protein (M) of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a multifunctional 26,6 kDa small protein. M protein plays a key role in assembly and budding processes and is responsible for cellular synthesis shut down, microtubules destabilization and apoptosis. For these reasons, M protein recruits several cellular partners. Among cellular proteins identified so far, we are interested in Nedd4, E3 unbiquitin ligase and TSG101, a component of ESCRT I complex. 2-Yeast Hybrid technique allowed us to identify three news partners for M protein: Dynamin, protein involved in endocytic pathway, LMP2, catalytic subunit of immunoproteasome and Catenin a, that belongs to intercellular junctions. First, we studied the implication of Nedd4, TSG101 and dynamin during late stages of the viral cycle: assembly and budding. We characterized recombinants mutant virus containing matrix protein that does not interact anymore with one or two partners. For that, we developed a new technique to titrate with higher accuracy viral supernatants. We applied this technique for growth curves in different cell type. Our results" suggest that TSG101 plays a role during budding that highlighted with double mutant virus. EM observations indicate that dynamin acts upstream Nedd4. We also showed that some viral particles produced from an infection using virus containing M protein that does not interact with Nedd4 display an aberrant morphology and their M protein is no longer ubiquitinated. After, we started the study of new partners of M protein: LMP2 and Catenin a, previously identified. We expressed these proteins in fusion with GST and we have shown that these buildings were well able to interact with the M, confirming both interactions. Finally we could define residues and domains involved in M-LMP2 and M-Catenin a interactions. Preliminary experiments show that M protein and Catenin a colocalize at level of epithelial cells membrane. An results contribute to a better understanding of the interactome complex matrix protein

Full textWith the increase of the environmental concerns related to the production of Portland cement, the search for alternatives to achieve sustainable and rational construction is becoming a necessity. Indeed, the production of cement is responsible for the increase in global warming potential (GWP), which questions its widespread use from an environmental point of view. In this perspective, this study aims at reducing the environmental impact of building materials, in particular self-consolidating concrete (SCC). Geopolymers are one of the interesting alternatives that can reduce the environmental impact of construction. However, the incorporation of these materials in the construction markets faces difficulties as long as the understanding of their setting and hardening mechanisms is still a hot topic.The main objective of this thesis is to evaluate the impact of alkaline activator on the setting mechanisms and rheological behaviour of geopolymers based on fly ash, alkali-activated glass powders, and hybrid matrices composed of cement and geopolymers. This study aims to assess the rheological properties and viscoelastic characteristics of these matrices and evaluate the feasibility of incorporating them to design SCC. Coupling the rheological properties with other measures, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and microstructure, makes it possible to define different mechanisms governing the fresh state of the investigated matrices. The obtained results allowed to identify the optimal concentrations of the alkaline activator to achieve the required rheological properties and mechanical performance. In addition, the methodology used in this study allowed to correlate the rheological properties to the geopolymerization process. This allowed better understanding of the fresh state of these materials. Finally, the incorporation of the optimized pastes into the matrix of SCC was also evaluated. Self-consolidating concrete based on hybrid matrix has shown promising rheological and mechanical performances, as well as a lower global warming potential than conventional SCC proportioned with cementitious materials. These results proved that the use of hybrid SCC offers an interesting solution from an environmental point of view, while achieving the required rheological and mechanical performances

Full textThin compostable films for extrusion blowing, thermoforming and biaxial stretching are in the scope of these works. Blend of thermoplastic flour and compostable polyesters are proposed and studied. Corn flour can be processed in a twin-screw extruder with glycerol in a similar way than starch. Thermoplastic flour shows some differences with starch but still cannot be used in thin film applications. Thermoplastic flour was blended in a melt state with a compostable polyester matrix, PBAT. Matrix / particle morphologies were achieved and linked with individual rheological behaviour. Good global mechanical properties results from these morphologies were discussed in terms of microstructures, dispersed phase deformation under stress and interface properties. Model particles blends with PBAT and microscopical investigations confirmed the mechanical behavior of the dispersed phase. These blends still suffer from inherent problems concerning thermoplastic flour and uncompatibilized blends. A suitable chemistry was developed to overcome these defects based on monomer polymerization from starch. Ring opening polymerization of trimethylene carbonate in presence of hydroxyl functions and organic catalyst or organometallic initiators displays interesting reaction rates for a reactive extrusion process. Model co-initiators with chemical and sterical environments close to starch were used and transposed. Thermoplastic flour modification by polycarbonate grafting was achieved in a reactive extrusion process coupled with his blending in a melt state with PBAT matrix. Compatibilization effects were discussed in terms of microstructures, interface reactions and matrix modifications. Interface modifications were evidenced on mechanical properties of these blends

Full textProgesterone is an hormone used for treatment of infertility, contraception and to control ovarian problems in some species. In veterinary medicine, beyond these applications, progesterone is also used for estral cycle synchronization, and to optimizing reproduction tecniques, like artificial insemination and embryos transfer in the economically explored species. Due to its low immunogenic capacity, low toxicity and abundance in the nature, collagen is a biopolymer that have been widely used for biomedical purposes. In this work collagen matrices with progesterone loadings of 5% and 10% (w/w) were prepared and characterized by thermal stability (TG and DSC), hydration capacity (PBS buffer), morphology by electronic microscopy, biological stability by in vitro hydrolysis of collagen by colagenase, and in vitro progesterone release assays. It was observed that the progesterone did not modify the hydrate capacity, increased the resistance to enzymatic degradation and diminished degradation temperature of the collagen. Manual incorporation of the hormone presented about 88% of efficiency and the release assays had showed that 5% (w/w) loading matrix liberates more quickly the hormone than 10% loading matrix, suggesting the dispersion of the hormone in the collagen. Obtained results pointed to the possibility of using anionic collagen in the development of a release system that could potencialy be used to deliver progesterone over an extend period of about 10 days, an ideal period for estral cycle synchronization in calves

Full textIn the context of economic globalization, the stand point of purchase and/or sale on the financial market obeys logics which escape sometimes rationality (speculative bubbles…).The forecasters and the financial analysts mobilize one statistical toolbox in order to know the future trends based on the study of the last trends.This toolbox builds on the assumption of normality of the statistical laws underlying which authorizes logics of statistical inference, test, correlation… We could observe in the past which the results of these projections were often failed:the financial crisis which we pass correspondent to a not easily foreseeable shock even if it is the object of a rationalization a posteriori. Our objective,on the basis of thisreport,is to renew the traditional approaches of the forecasters and financial analysts by mobilizing two complementary approaches: business intelligence applied to the financial field and the utilization of modern technologies of management of the unforeseeable risks.In this interdisciplinary work,our approaches are inspired,first of all concept oftheimage or of the reputation of a target company and approach of the intelligence cycle resulting from the approach of the business intelligence.Moreover,we can complete our approach through the principle of bounded rationality,that of the speculative bubble and that of the logic uncertain suggested by Nassim Nicolas Taleb. Finally, we mobilize the concept of force of situation(François Julien) in order to reinforce the decision of the institutional investors in uncertain situation.To validate our theoretical contribution,we chose Viet Nam as our ground of research.From a qualitative approach and based on experimentation ahead 5 Vietnamese portfolio managers, we could better know their practice of making decision, their different investment evaluation criteria, their perception of reputation and the role of the financial intelligence in their process of investment. Thus, we propose a qualitative method based on the reputation in order to characterize the degree of robustness of an organization faced to shocks and elaborate moreover a system of financial information by taking into account the hierarchy of the investment evaluation criteria of the Vietnamese portfolio managers. Our approach is illustrated through a case study of a Vietnamese aquaculture company

Full textThe aim of this study is a contribution tc estimate the curing: stresses of thermoset composite plates. The bibliographical :study of processing technology of thermoseting composite materials shows : the temperature, the viscosity and the degree of cure change the thermo-mechanical properties of the composite plate during the cure cycle. The general approach to the treatment of:thermal field, the viscosity and the degree of cure is through three differential equations : the unidirectional heat transfer equation, the chemo rheological equation and the rate of degree of cure equation. Solution to the thermo-chemical model is obtained by numerical: methods. By using a residual weighted technique and discrete' values at nodals points, we can obtain a implicit method of solution. The system equation is cure and the viscosity are calculated every step, furthermore, if the elation is attained, an increment t of thermal stress is carried. Finally a validation ' of our model is accomplished. This an epoxy matrix and a classical cure cycle. We analyse, principally, the influence of the amount of heat released and the gel time effect

Full textWithin the context of nuclear power as a sustainable energy resource, a program of research is concentrated on a new nuclear fuel cycle based on thorium. The main advantage, as compared to the uranium cycle, is a lower production of minor actinides, of which the radiological impact on the long term constitutes a problem. At present, nuclear data libraries don't provide cross sections of a good enough quality, allowing more realistic calculations from simulations related to these reactors. The 232Th neutron capture cross section is an example. With the n_TOF collaboration, the measurement of this reaction was achieved in 2002 using two C6D6 detectors. The experimental area located at CERN, is characterized by an outstanding neutron energy resolution coupled to a high instantaneous neutron flux. The determination of the gamma-ray cascade detection efficiency, with a random behaviour,has been obtained by the use of weighting functions. These were deduced from Monte Carlo simulations with the code MCNP. Data extraction, reduction, and the description of the neutron flux have lead to the capture yield. In the resolved resonance region, the resonance parameters describing the cross section were deduced with the code SAMMY, using the R-matrix theory. In the unresolved resonance region, an uncertainty of 5% is found, and a comparison with recent measurements shows a good agreement

Full textThis thesis has been carried out as part of the project Fiabilin, which includes 15 different academic and industrial partners, with an aim to develop industrial production of polyamide-11/flax biocomposite. The purpose of this work is to determine multi-scale performances of 100% biosourced composite, in order to substitute composite materials containing glass fibers and/or matrix derived from petroleum. First, we highlighted the flax fiber sensibility toward processing cycles (time and temperature), from mechanical and biochemical structure aspects. Then, we revealed the capacity of PA11-flax association to produce competitive mechanical properties compared to others usual composites. Fiber-matrix interface of the biocomposite was studied at micro and macro scales, showing a higher compatibility than some flax-thermoset resin systems. The end-of-life of the biocomposite was considered by recycling with successive grinding and injections. Then stiffness and strength at break of short fiber biocomposites thus obtained are similar to PPgMA-flax composites, whereas a strong increase of the strain at break according to the number of injection cycles was observed. A life cycle analysis of some composites production steps shows lower environmental impacts of PA11-flax when sizing was made through equivalent material stiffness

When the space is finite, these distributions correspond to multidimensional binomial, negative binomial and gamma distributions.

Full textAs a result of the heterogeneous spatial distribution of microorganisms and substrates in soil and restricted accessibility, biodegradation occurs mainly in hot-spots, such as in the detritusphere induced by decomposing plant residues. Knowing the characteristics of the volume of soil involved in decomposition of a given organic substrate would help understand and predict biodegradation, while this information is not yet known for given soil characteristics. Our objectives were: (i) to identify the volume of soil involved in the biodegradation of plant residues and (ii) to determine to what extent this volume is affected by soil moisture under diffusive conditions, by monitoring the mineralisation and spatio-temporal evolution of residues-C and microorganisms in soil at the scale of the microbial habitat. We incubated repacked soil cores, with a central layer of 13C labelled maize residues at three different matric potentials. We monitored the 13C and total C mineralisation over 601 days of incubation, we separated soil slices with increasing distances from the residues at 3, 7, 15 and 45 days and analysed therein the 13C from the residue, the microbial community structure and its activity by processing PLFA and 13C-PLFA but also prepared thin sections for fluorescence and nanoSIMS observations. Mineralisation and priming effect increased with soil moisture, but beyond 70 days, they both become higher than expected in dry conditions. A few mm thick detritusphere was established as fast as the soil humidity was important, with an increasing gradient of 13C, total, 13C PLFA and observed colonies towards the residues layer. Most 13C from the residues was located in the first two millimetres of the detritusphere and little impacted by matric potential. The degrading microbial communities were different from the total communities but similar in wet and dry conditions. Both bacteria and fungi were involved in biodegradation after 7 days of incubation. The use of analysis methods of points repartition between them and according to macropores allowed us to obtain little widespread micro-scale data in soil sciences on the distribution of soil microorganisms. The aggregation of microorganisms seems little affected by the water content and the proximity of the residue. On the other hand, distribution gradients of microorganisms around the macropores were stronger in dry than wet conditions and in contact with the residue. The NanoSIMS observations could not give very reliable results but were consistent with a rapid assimilation of the resources available after a few days of incubation. It seems more generally that in the case of dry soil, part of the processes are slower (establishment of the detritusphere, development of fungi, biodegradation, priming effect, distribution of microorganisms around the pores, etc.), however, their intensity is not lessened

Full textThe objective of this thesis is the characterization of the mechanical behavior and the damage of a woven jute / polyester composite. natural fibers are indeed an interesting ecological alternative to synthetic fibers, in particular glass fibers which are the most used for composite manufacturing. The studied composite is developed in the LMNM laboratory at IOMP, Sétif, Algeria. Two fibre orientations ([0] 8 and [+ 45 / -45] 2S) are considered. The mechanical characterization is carried out in monotonic tensile and compression as well as in cyclic fatigue. Mechanical and microstructural characterizations are carried out in the MATEIS laboratory. The study of the damage is carried out by combining five techniques: the evolution of mechanical parameters via cyclic and fatigue tests, microscopy, acoustic emission (EA), image correlation and micro- RX tomography. The study of the evolution of the mechanical parameters combined with the global analysis of the AE provides first indicators concerning the development of the damage during the tests. Microstructural analyzes allow to finely identify the damage mechanisms that occur during mechanical tests (fiber / matrix decohesions, matrix cracks and fiber breakage). For the segmentation of acoustic emission signals in monotonic tests, an unsupervised classification is used, emphasizing the choice of descriptors and the labeling of the classes obtained. Tensile tests instrumented by image correlation as well as in situ tensile tests under tomography allow to identify the chronology of appearance of the damage. These results are also used to label the obtained classes . The labeled signals are then used to create a library to identify the chronology of evolution of the modes of damage in cyclic fatigue achieved by supervised classification. Finally, all these analyzes made it possible to establish damage scenarios for the different damage modes and for the two orientations. It is thus possible to reconsider the development to optimize the mechanical properties

Full textThe aim of the present work was evaluate the hormonal profiles of progestins and estrogens in blood, feces, urine and saliva during the induced estral cycle in ovine. Samples were collected daily a 60-day period from eight adult (n=8) cycling ewes. The animals were previously submitted to a protocol of estrus induction and synchronization for twelve days. In order to avoid the effect of exogenous hormones, the first cycle immediately after the synchronization was not considered for hormonal analysis. Progestagen concentrations were quantified by two analytical techniques, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Estrogen concentrations were assessed by radioimmunoassay. Correlations in progesterone concentrations were found to be significant for serum and feces, serum and saliva and feces and saliva (r=0.90, p<0.0001; r=0.90, p<0.0001; r=0.92, p<0.0001, respectively) during the estrous cycles (n=15). Estrogen concentrations in the serum and feces were also positively correlated (r=0.74, p<0.0001). Salivary concentrations of estrogens were not correlated with fecal or serum concentrations of the same hormone. No correlation was found between urinary concentrations and concentrations found in other matrixes for both progestagens and estrogens. Concentrations of progestagens obtained using RIA and EIA were correlated on feces (r=0.78, p<0.0001) and saliva (r=0.81, p<0.0001). Results indicate that both immunoassays used in the present experiment can be used to evaluate progestagen concentrations on fecal and salivary matrixes during the estrous cycle of sheep.
