Full textAbstract:
Background: Liquidity and the management of liquidity are of great importance for companies. Cash management is not a new term, but the need for it has increased recently, for one thing because of the internationalisation and growing harmonisation between the countries in Europe. Netting is a cash management technique, where receivables and liabilities are netted. This technique can be used to release capital and increase the company’s cash flow by reducing the number of transactions in the internal payment system.
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to study and describe the idea of netting, and to examine how netting can be used as a cash management tool.
Method: The study is based on literature as well as personal interviews with co- workers at the case company.
Result: Netting leads to a reduction in internal payments and hence a reduction of the transaction volume. Some conditions must however be fulfilled in order to make the implementation of this technique profitable. Among other things, the company’s internal transactions must be of considerable proportions.

Full textAbstract:
The stochastic volatility of daily foreign exchange (FX) derivatives poses a number of risks for the international banking community. Settlement risk, liquidity risk and capital adequacy are just a few immediate concerns that arise from such volatility. This thesis examines the impact of close-out netting on minimising the stochastic volatility of inter-bank FX derivatives. The problem with close-out netting is that although it is a simple formula of taking the differences between two banks at one point in time, it is the stochastic and volatile nature of FX rates that makes measuring the full impact of netting difficult. The objective of this thesis is to establish a realistic international banking framework or modelling environment in which close-out netting can be scientifically applied and examined. Five international daily FX rates will be used as sufficient approximations for five international banks. A generalised autoregressive conditionally heteroschedastic (GARCH) modelling approach is adopted as a robust and rich FX volatility paradigm. Then through Monte Carlo simulation of the resulting fitted GARCH models, we generate the distributions -with and without close-out netting. The findings of this thesis are interesting, showing that close-out netting is far more than just a simple mathematical process. Netting surely does reduce each bank's exposure to FX volatility, however, its multivariate nature reveals some important results for banking risk research and bank analysts.

Callan, R. E. "Netting the symbol : analytically deriving recursive connectionist representation of symbol structures." Thesis, Southampton Solent University, 1996. http://ssudl.solent.ac.uk/2427/.
Full textAbstract:
With the huge research effort into connectionist systems that has taken place over the last decade a debate has developed as to whether the more traditional Artificial Intelligence (AI) paradigm of symbolism or the connectionist paradigm offers the way ahead to developing high level cognitive systems. Central to the debate are issues of representation. Traditional AI has spent many years developing representation languages and representation has long been seen as essential for the development of intelligent systems. Early connectionists have tended to rely on the notion that a network of simple processing units will develop adequate internal representations as a by product of learning. Indeed, with connectionism it would appear on first sight that the development of a representational formalism is somewhat intractable when knowledge is implicit in a distributed pattern of activity. Contrary to this view, some connectionists have agreed with the traditionalists that the mechanism of represnetation must support compositional construction and be understood. Some connectionists would even go as far to say that the representation mechanism should be understood to the point whereby an explicit or easily read description of the knowledge held by a network can be given. This thesis presents some of the key issues which arise when attempting symbol style representations with connectionist architectures. A number of connectionist techniques are reviewed. The emphasis of this thesis is on the presentation of a model that provides a simplified version of a connectionist system that was developed to represent symbol structures. The model is the result of the research reported herin and provides an original contribution in a number of important areas. The model has the benefit of allowing very quick derivation of connectionist representatiions, unlike the slow training environments of a pure network implementation. The model provides a mathematical framework that gives insight into the convergence behaviour of the technique it proposes and this framework allows a statement to be made about generalisation characteristics. The model has immediate practical use in supplying connectionist representations with which to experiment and provides a conceptual cehicle that should assist with the development of future techniques that tackle representation issues.

Full textAbstract:
The online newsmagazine, by incorporating and extending the capabilities of traditional media, poses a challenge to the conventional notion of both the newsmagazine and the time-based nature of news. In examining the online newsmagazine as an abstract construct as well as a physical form of media, issues of time, space and interactivity can be redefined in terms of the online environment. Using samples culled from the web and the print versions of Maclean's, Newsweek and Time, this thesis considers issues such as layout and tactility, temporality and its effect on the concept of the newsmagazine, and the changing role of the editorial staff. These factors are especially relevant to not only the online newsmagazine's current struggle to establish itself as a credible form of news dissemination within the online environment, but also the future evolution that may be involved in order to ensure the survival of the online newsmagazine.

Full textAbstract:
Syfte: Hantering av valutarisker i ett exporterande företag kan vara avgörande för att nå framgång. Syftet är att undersöka hur valutariskexponering uppstår samt att se hur valutarisk hanteras i två exporterande företag. Uppsatsen behandlar ett stort multinationellt företag och ett mindre företag. Studien jämför olika förhållningssätt i de två företagen samt hur extern respektive intern hantering av riskerna kan skilja sig. Metod: I studien har en kvalitativ ansats tillämpats genom intervjuer med representativa befattningshavare i de båda företagen. Intervjuerna utgår från ett hermeneutiskt synsätt som sedan också till stor del är genomgående i uppsatsen. Förutom intervjuer så har trovärdig sekundärdata använts i förekommande fall. Resultat & slutsats: Möjlighet till intern hantering av valutarisker skiljer sig mellan stora och små företag. Sandvik har stora resurser för att kunna hantera valutarisker internt samtidigt som CardGroup har mindre resurser och kunskaper för detta. Företagens förhållningssätt till risk skiljer sig men skillnaden beror inte på storleken utan snarare synen på hur affärer görs. Företagens externa metoder för valutariskhantering är snarlika då samma derivatinstrument används, med undantag för hur företagen tillämpar dem genom olika metoder. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: En intressant ansats för vidare studier skulle vara att använda en kvantitativ metod för forskning inom området för att kunna dra mer allmänna slutsatser. Fokus för fortsatta studier kan även vara att utgå från ekonomisk eller omräkningsexponering. Uppsatsens bidrag: Uppsatsen har bidragit till ökad kunskap om vilka metoder och instrument exporterande företag använder och varför. Dessutom har studien belyst hur arbetet kan skilja sig mellan ett stort och ett litet företag.Aim: Currency risk management can be crucial to reach success in an international environment. The aim of this thesis is to examine currency exposure in exporting companies and to see how they handle currency risk. The thesis consists of one large multinational company and one small local business. Differences in risk approach, internal and external management are examined. Method: The study has a qualitative approach applied by interviews with representative employees in both companies. A hermeneutic approach is used for the interviews and then also to a large extent throughout the essay. In addition to interviews, reliable secondary data where used when appropriate. Result & Conclusions: Internal currency risk management is different depending on the company’s size. Sandvik have great resources in managing currency risk internally while CardGroup have less knowledge and resources to do so. The companies approach to risk is different but the difference is not due to size but rather the perception of how business is done. The external methods of managing currency risk are similar between the companies. The same derivatives are used with exception for how the companies apply them through various methods. Suggestions for future research: An interesting approach for further studies in this field of finance would be to use a quantitative approach to receive general conclusions. Operating and translation exposure can also be focus for future studies. Contribution of the thesis: The thesis has contributed to increased knowledge of which instruments companies use and why companies apply certain methods. In addition the essay examines how this differs between a large and a small company.

Full textAbstract:
Turkey is on the main migratory route for many bird species although especially passerine migration is little known. The objective of this study is to document and analyze the diversity, abundances, daily and seasonal phenologies of migrating passerines at METU as well as compare seasonal phenologies with those obtained at Manyas KuScenneti(Balikesir) and Cernek(Samsun) stations.
The study covers autumn 2001, spring and autumn 2002 migration seasons. Methodology is based on the capture and ringing of passerines. In the first two seasons, intermittent sampling was the rule, but in autumn 2002 the study was continuous throughout the day and the season.
Totally 1,832 individuals of 60 passerine species were ringed. Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla) and Willow Warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus) were the two most common species. Blackcap dominates species composition in autumn seasons with a very high percentage (%33).
Daily captures peaked in the early morning and with a smaller peak one hour before the sunset. Several waves of migrants were detected in autumn 2002, with most peaks in close correlation with those recorded at Cernek station, indicating some connection between migrant populations using both sites for stopover. Fat depositon rates showed at least Yalincak is a high quality stopover site for most migrant species since many species gained weight up to around 50% within a period of 10 days.
This is the first study documenting passerine migration in Turkey, and it revealed that small wooded landscapes within less hospitable habitats provide crucial stopover habitat for many migrant passerines.

Full textAbstract:
The invasive brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys (Stål), has resulted in increased use of insecticides on horticultural crops in the Mid-Atlantic US, which has diminished integrated pest management (IPM) programs that worked well otherwise. The research herein explored the use of three new tools in the development of BMSB management strategies. In one study, a BMSB pheromone lure was placed on insecticide-incorporated mesh netting to be used in an attract-and-kill strategy to protect bell peppers. The pheromone and netting deployed within a pepper field resulted in more BMSB feeding on plants within 6.1 m to the attract-and-kill screen than in further peppers or peppers in the weekly insecticide treatment. In another study, the insecticidal netting used as a row cover reduced stink bug damage to peppers, but also caused significant yield losses, possibly due to lack of light and/or pollination. The BMSB pheromone lure was also utilized in a sticky trap-based action threshold for insecticide application decisions. The trap and lure predicted densities of bugs on pepper plants and the use of an action threshold of 5 bugs per trap per week to trigger an insecticide spray reduced insecticide applications by 50% at one location, however population densities were lower at the other two locations and significance was not found among treatments. Lastly, BMSB is a nuisance pest to homeowners so we tested the exclusion efficacy of repellents on overwintering shelters and found an 8-fold reduction in BMSB that entered shelters treated with geranyl cyclopentanone (apritone). The use of BMSB pheromones paired with insecticide netting for attract-and-kill of BMSB, the development of action thresholds using captures in pheromone-baited sticky cards, and the use of apritone as a repellent are all promising IPM strategies worth refining in future studies.MSLFS

Derham, Kelly. "Wire Netting Reduces African Elephant (LOXODONTA AFRICANA) Impact to Selected Large Trees in South Africa." TopSCHOLAR®, 2014. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/1358.
Full textAbstract:
African elephants (Loxodonta africana) are ecosystem engineers in that they substantially alter the environment through their unique foraging and feeding habits. At high densities, elephants potentially have negative impacts on the environment, specifically to large trees. Because of this, recent increases of elephants in the Associated Private Nature Reserves (APNR) on the Western Boundary of Kruger National Park, South Africa have caused concern regarding the health of several species of tree. My objective was to assess the effectiveness of wrapping protective wire netting around the trunk of the tree in preventing and reducing bark stripping by elephants. 2,668 trees, 1352 marula (Sclerocarya birrea), 857 knobthorn (Acacia Nigrescens), and 459 false marula (Lannea schweinfurti), were assessed for elephant impact in the APNR, 1387 (52%) of which had previously been wrapped in protective wire netting (789, 548, and 50 respectively). For knobthorn and marula, wire netting significantly decreased the number of the trees that were bark stripped. For all trees, wire netting decreased the level of bark stripping especially for the highest impact levels. No trees wrapped with wire were ringbarked, compared to 23 unwired trees. In addition, wire netting had an effect on the distribution of damage for the highest impact class incurred regardless of type. A higher relative frequency of wired trees were found in lower impact categories compared to unwired trees. Wire netting is a low maintenance and ecologically valuable technique that alleviates bark stripping for some species. The judicial use of wire netting on trees could serve to maintain elephant and trees populations in areas of heavy confinement with locally high densities of elephants.

Full textAbstract:
This study quantifies the benefits of two interlayer systems (steel reinforcing netting and a newly-designed geocomposite membrane) in different pavement applications. Steel reinforcing netting and geocomposite membrane have been installed at the Virginia Smart Road in four different sections. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys and time domain reflectometer (TDR) validated the effectiveness of the geocomposite membrane in preventing water from infiltrating to the underneath layers. In pavement rehabilitation applications, based on finite element (FE) analysis, it was found that the geocomposite membrane would create a protective compressive field around the crack tip and separate the criticality of the stress field in the cracked area from the bottom of the overlay. However, if the crack passes through the interlayer, a faster propagation rate than in a typical pavement is expected. These results emphasize the importance of proper field installation. As to steel reinforcing netting, this study found that this interlayer system would be effective in new pavement systems in both the crack initiation and propagation phases when the cracks start at the bottom of the HMA layers. For the considered pavement structures, steel reinforcing netting was found effective to delay the initiation of the cracks. This delay depends on the stiffness of the hot-mix asphalt (HMA) layers, the reinforcing pattern, and the direction of the strain at the bottom of the HMA layers. After initiation of the crack, steel reinforcement contribute by delaying the rate of crack propagation to the pavement surface. In pavement rehabilitations, however, the crack is already well established in the existing pavement, and steel reinforcement contribution is expected from the time of installation. In this case, steel reinforcement will delay the initiation of the crack in the overlay, and reduce the rate of crack propagation afterwards. Two models, to predict the overlay service life against reflective cracking from existing HMA layers, were developed.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
Bibliography: leaves 100-103.The use of Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs) has already proved to be a cost effective way of malaria vector control. The important emphasis now should therefore be on how to increase the accessibility and utilization of the mosquito nets through devising viable financing and promotional mechanisms that are sustainable and equitable in the long run. One way of financing ITNs that has been propounded by the Roll Back Malaria (REM) has been the issue of the reduction or elimination of tariffs and domestic taxes on ITNs and their inputs. The purpose of this study was to look at how and in what way this RBM financing policy on eliminating tariffs and domestic taxes on ITNS and their inputs would benefit the consumer given the complex nature of ITN industry operations and the consumer behaviour. The study concentrated on information gathered from net manufacturers and insecticide providers, wholesalers and retailers and some key personnel in the overall ITN industry to gather information on production, sales and marketing trends. The analysis revealed that there are indeed gains to be realized by both the consumer and the private sector if tariffs and taxes are removed, in terms of the increase in demand and supply of the product. The elimination of the 15% tariff on ITN input prices in Zimbabwe, ceteris paribus, would lead to the retail price of ITNs falling by between 4% and 12%. This would result in consumer purchases increasing by between 2% and 11%. The elimination of both taxes, other things constant, would lead to the price falling by between 4% and 23 %, leading to retail purchases increasing by between 2% and 21%. Depending on the price elasticities of demand and supply, the fall in retail prices and the consequent increase in retail purchases are quite substantial in a developing country context where incomes are very low. Sensitivity analysis using different demand and supply elasticities also showed that the elimination of tariffs and taxes on ITNs and their inputs would lead to a substantial fall in retail purchases resulting in retail purchases increasing.

Full textAbstract:
An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of shade netting on growth, oil yield and compound composition of fever tea (Lippia javaica). The treatments were nine shade nets of different light intensities (100% bird net, 40% green, 10, 12 and 18% white and 30, 40, 55 and 70% black). The layout used was a completely randomized design. The parameters measured were shoot width, fresh shoot mass, the number of plants flowered, plant height and photosynthetically active radiation. Shade netting did not have any effect on the shoot width of L. javanica. Eighteen percent white net was best suited to produce fresh shoot mass, whereas 55% black net, 40% black net and 10% white net produced lower fresh shoot mass. More plants that flowered were obtained under 70% black net than those grown under 30% black net. The number of plants that flowered increased from 22 to 35 with an increase in shading density. The height of plants was not affected by shade netting at 49 DAT. However, at 59 and 67 DAT, the height of the plants was greater under low light intensities (40, 55, and 70% black nets) than that of high light intensity (30% black). Twelve percent white net had the greatest plant height at 102 DAT. Shade netting significantly affected the adsorption and utilization of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) above, across and below the plants at 102 DAT. Hundred percent bird net had the greatest amount of light intercepted above, across and below the plants. The amount of light intercepted above, below and across the plants was lower for lower shading intensity (30% black) than that of higher shading intensities (40%, 55% and 70% black). To determine shade-netting effect on oil yield and compound composition, fresh leaves (± 200g) of L. javanica were sampled from each shade net for essential oil extraction by hydrodistillation. The oil yield ranged from 0.29% to 0.41%. The oil had a clear to yellowish brown colour. No significant differences were detected for oil yield amongst the shade nets. The chemical compound analysis was carried out by GC/MS. The chemical compounds identified in the essential oil were a-pinene, sebinen, myrcene, 1.8 myrcene, ipsenone, ipsedienone, b-caryophyllen and germacrene-D. L. javanica plants grown under 10% white net, resulted in significantly higher myrcene content (15.7%) as compared to plants grown in other shade nets. Shade netting did not have any effect on the composition of á-pinene, sebinene, 1.8 myrcene, ipsenone, ipsedienone, b-caryophyllen and germacrene-D. For commercial usage of myrcene, white net (10%) would be best suited for L. javanica production. To obtain information about indigenous knowledge of L. javanica, a survey was carried out among street traders, traditional healers, hawkers and farmers in Gauteng. The age group was between 20 and 73. The majority of respondents, who were self employed, were traditional healers followed by farmers. Most (98%) of the respondents indicated that they collected L. javanica from the veld by cutting the plant, whereas other respondents uprooted the whole plant when harvesting. Amongst the different uses of L. javanica mentioned, treatment of colds and coughs through steaming was stated by most (47%) of the respondents. Most (88%) of the respondents felt that it was important to conserve the plant for future generations and also to prevent the plant from becoming extinct. Traditional healers knew the uses and other important aspects of L. javanica than the farmers.Dissertation (M Inst Agrar (Agronomy))--University of Pretoria, 2007.

Engelen, Dries. "Comparing avifauna communities and bird functional diversity of forest and farmland in southwest Ethiopia." Thesis, Stockholms universitet, Botaniska institutionen, 2012. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-86015.
Full textAbstract:
Worldwide degradation and conversion of tropical forests affects many species and their provided ecosystem services. Among them are birds, responsible for pollination, seed dispersal, pest control and scavenging. This study, conducted in southwest Ethiopia, compares species composition and bird functional diversity between forest and homegardens close to and far from forest, both in terms of species numbers and bird abundances. Point counts and mist netting were used to obtain data. While the former method detected more species, abundance data from the latter revealed patterns not observed by just comparing species numbers. I found that species diversity was lower in forest compared to gardens and that the species composition of both communities was significantly distinct. Whereas forest had more forest specialists, gardens held more forest visitors and species of open country. Close and far gardens did not differ in any aspect, except that abundances of forest generalist birds were somewhat higher close to forest. Regarding bird feeding guilds, I found that granivores and nectarivores were more numerous in gardens, while frugivores were more common in forest. Carnivores and omnivores showed no effect. Insectivore proportions were the same for forest and farmland, but their numbers (including those of all sub-guilds) were higher in gardens. The Ethiopian forest avifauna is poor in comparison with other Afromontane regions, lacking several, mostly insectivorous genera. This could be the result of an extinction after which its geographic isolation made recolonization difficult, especially for dispersal-limited understory species. Nonetheless, and despite their impoverished state, the results suggest that forest remnants are important for forest-dependent species, being a stronghold for forest specialists and supporting higher numbers of forest generalists in nearby gardens. However, future forest regrowth might be at stake with ongoing agricultural encroachment, because gardens hold fewer frugivores, especially forest specialists, which might affect seed dispersal.Många arter påverkas negativt av avskogning och annan mänsklig påverkan på tropiska skogar, vilket också kan få konsekvenser för de ekosystemtjänster dessa arter levererar. En viktig artgrupp i detta avseende är fåglar, som kan ha betydelse för pollination, fröspridning, naturlig skadedjurskontroll och som asätare. Denna studie, utförd i sydvästra Etiopien, jämför artsammansättning och funktionell diversitet hos fåglar i skogar och trädgårdar både nära och långt ifrån skogen. Både antal arter och antal individer har undersökts. Data materialet bygger både på observationer från punktinventering och fåglar fångade med slöjnät. Med den första metoden noterade jag fler arter, medan abundansvärden från den andra metoden gjorde att jag såg mönster som inte syntes vid endast jämförelser av artrikedom. Jag fann att artrikedomen var lägre i skogen i jämförelse med trädgårdarna, men att artsammansättningen var signifikant skiljd däremellan. Skogarna hade fler skogsspecialister medan trädgårdarna hade fler arter från öppna marker och tillfälliga skogsbesökande arter. Trädgårdar som låg nära eller långt ifrån skogen skiljde sig inte på något sätt utom att individtätheten av skogsgeneralister var något högre i trädgårdar nära skogen. När det gäller uppdelningen av fåglarna utifrån vad de äter så fann jag att fröätande och nektarätande arter var vanligare i trädgårdar medan fruktätande arter var vanligare i skogen. Rovfåglar och allätare uppvisade inget tydligt mönster. Proportionen insektsätande fåglelarter var samma i skogen och trädgårdarna, men det absoluta antalet arter (inklusive alla olika underkategorier) var högre i trädgårdarna. Den etiopiska skogsfågelfaunan är artfattig i förhållande till andra bergstrakter i Afrika och saknar flera släkten av framförallt insektsätande fåglar. Detta skulle kunna bero på ett tidigare utdöende varefter en senare återkolonisering varit svår på grund av den geografiska isoleringen, speciellt för insektsätande fåglar som huvudsakligen finns i undervegetationen. Trots den relativa artfattigdomen så visar resultatet från min studie hursomhelst på att skogarna är viktiga för skogsberoende fåglar. Den största betydelsen har de för skogsspecialister där, men även genom en positiv effekt på abundansen av skogsgeneralister i närliggande trädgårdar. Dock kan framtida återväxt av skogar bli problematisk på grund av en pågående omvandling av skogar till trädgårdar, eftersom trädgårdar hyser färre fruktätande fåglar, vilket kan påverka fröspridning över landskapet.

Full textAbstract:
Qatar is a small country in the Middle East which has used its oil wealth to invest in the country's infrastructure and education. The technology for Internet voting now exists or can be developed, but are the people of Qatar willing to take part in Internet voting for national elections?. This research identifies the willingness of government and citizens to introduce and participate in Internet voting (I-voting) in Qatar and the barriers that may be encountered when doing so. A secure I voting model for the Qatar government is then proposed that address issues of I-voting which might arise due to the introduction of such new technology. Recommendations are made for the Qatar government to assist in the introduction of I-voting. The research identifies the feasibility of I-voting and the government s readiness and willingness to introduce it. Multiple factors are examined: the voting experience, educational development, telecommunication development, the large number of Internet users, Qatar law which does not bar the use of I-voting and Qatar culture which supports I-voting introduction. It is shown that there is a willingness amongst both the people and the government to introduce I-voting, and there is appropriate accessibility, availability of IT infrastructure, availability of Internet law to protect online consumers and the existence of the e government project. However, many Qataris have concerns of security, privacy, usability, transparency and other issues that would need to be addressed before any voting system could be considered to be a quality system in the eyes of the voters. Also, the need to consider the security threat associated on client-side machines is identified where a lack of user awareness on information security is an important factor. The proposed model attempts to satisfy voting principles, introducing a secure platform for I-voting using best practices and solutions such as the smart card, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and digital certificates. The model was reviewed by a number of experts on Information Technology, and the Qatari culture and law who found that the system would, generally, satisfy voting principles, but pointed out the need to consider the scalability of the model, the possible cyber-attacks and the risks associated with voters computers. which could be reduced by enhancing user awareness on security and using secure operating systems or Internet browsers. From these findings, a set of recommendations were proposed to encourage the government to introduce I-voting which consider different aspects of I-voting, including the digital divide, e-literacy, I voting infrastructure, legal aspects, transparency, security and privacy. These recommendations were also reviewed by experts who found them to be both valuable and effective. Since literature on Internet voting in Qatar is sparse, empirical and non-empirical studies were carried out in a variety of surveys, interviews and experiments. The research successfully achieved its aim and objectives and is now being considered by the Qatari Government.

Full textAbstract:
Pollinating insects are important for many plants and for the human population. To be able to monitor pollinators and assess improvements made for them, it is important to get information about pollinator population changes. Therefore, it is essential that the methods used to collect data are accurate (i.e. that they represent the pollinator fauna). One commonly used method is pan-traps, but this method is suggested to be affected by the abundance of surrounding flowers. The results in the present study showed that catches in pan-traps can be affected by flower cover and the colour of the flowers, depending on which colours are preferred by the insects. The effects differed when looking at a larger scale (2-6 ha) and a smaller scale (25 m2) around the pan-traps. When comparing cover of flowers with catches in pan-traps in the small scale there were some results that showed linear positive correlations (expected), but also, negative linear and quadratic correlations. In contrast, in the large scale there were no significant positive linear correlations. When comparing catches in hand-net and pan-traps, only in one out of six taxonomical groups there were a correlation. The results in this study show that catches in pan-traps can be misleading if catches are done to survey pollinator population fauna and the cover of flowers is not considered.

Le produit dérivé est un instrument de couverture ou de spéculation portant sur les variations de valeur d’un actif sous-jacent. Ce produit est souvent l’objet de transactions internationales, mettant en concurrence différents ordres législatifs ayant vocation à régir le contrat. Pour déterminer la loi applicable, les méthodes du conflit de lois sont confrontées tant à la liberté contractuelle des parties au produit dérivé qu’aux impératifs des marchés financiers. Les marchés financiers doivent en effet présenter une stabilité et une sécurité. La loi applicable au contrat, la loi d’autonomie, régit la formation, les effets et l’extinction du contrat. Mais le dérivé peut être conclu sur un système multilatéral, être accompagné de garanties financières : d’autres lois s’y appliquent qu’il convient de déterminer, tout en prenant la mesure de l’efficacité des méthodes du conflit de lois lorsqu’elles doivent se saisir des instruments financiersThe derivative is a hedging instrument or an instrument for speculation. The derivative is usually used in international tansactions, and several legislative orders are in competition to govern the contract. The rules for choising a national law are confronted with the parties’ freedom and with the financial markets’ imperatives. The markets’ stability and security are very important. Parties can chose the law applicable to the contract. But the derivative can also be contracted on multilateral system, parties are abble to take financial collateral arrangements, and others laws can be involved

Full textAbstract:
As comunidades terapêuticas para dependentes químicos são importantes recursos, descritos pela Secretária Nacional Antidrogas, na rede de atenção aos transtornos relacionados ao abuso de substâncias psicoativas. A equipe profissional nestas comunidades terapêuticas é representada, principalmente, por conselheiros em dependência química. É consenso entre os especialistas, pela complexidade desta problemática, que o tratamento deve abordar o paciente em seu contexto sociofamiliar (Stanton e Todd, 1990). O presente estudo tem como objetivo apresentar e avaliar um programa de tratamento e prevenção para dependentes químicos em comunidades terapêuticas com foco em seu contexto sociofamiliar, por nós denominado TRA: terapia de rede para adictos. Um programa destinado aos conselheiros em dependência química, que trabalham nestas comunidades. Fundamentados no pensamento-novo-paradigmático, de Esteves de Vasconcellos (2002), e na representação social, de Moscovici (2003), utilizamos como método uma pesquisa interventiva, com delineamento qualitativo construtivista, baseado em Pakman (1995), o que significa, no contexto deste trabalho, que o modelo de TRA foi construído em conjunto com os participantes: conselheiros e pacientes da comunidade terapêutica na qual realizamos a pesquisa. As principais técnicas empregadas foram: a família de origem do conselheiro e o discurso do sujeito coletivo (DSC), de acordo com Lefèvre e Lefèvre (2003). Para a análise dos resultados, usamos a técnica de triangulação de dados, segundo Denzin e Lincoln (2000). Os resultados obtidos contribuíram para conhecermos as representações sociais dos participantes sobre suas famílias e, sistemicamente, compreendermos os múltiplos aspectos envolvidos na complexidade do ciclo da drogadicção. As téc nicas interventivas auxiliaram no resgate dos aspectos resilientes e das competências dos sistemas familiares e no empoderamento da comunidade terapêutica, dos pacientes e de suas famílias, para lidar com os problemas da dependência química. Estas técnicas também colaboraram para a compreensão e a abordagem da imprevisibilidade ocorrida, em vários âmbitos, no desenvolvimento da pesquisa. As diferentes representações sociais nos DSC foram analisadas sob o olhar da intersubjetividade, proporcionando uma rica troca entre os participantes. A coparticipação, na elaboração deste modelo, contribuiu, principalmente, para a coconstrução de um novo saber em prevenção e tratamento para as comunidades terapêuticas, com um olhar mais amplo e globalizador, para o sistema familiar e outros sistemas envolvidos no problema da drogadicçãoTherapeutic communities for chemical dependents are important resources, described by National Antidrug Secretary, to the network of care for disorders related to the abuse of psychoactive substances. The professional team in these therapeutic communities and represented, mainly, by advisers in chemical dependency. There is a consensus among the experts, the complexity of the problem, that treatment must approach the patient in their family environment (Stanton and Todd, 1990). The purpose of the present study is to present and assess a program of prevention and treatment for chemical dependents in therapeutic communities with a focus on their family environment, we called TRA: therapy of network for addiction. A program for counselor in chemical dependency, working in these communities. Based on thought-new-paradigmatic, Esteves de Vasconcellos (2002), and the social representation of Moscovici (2003), we used the method an interventional research, with qualitative design constructivist, based in Pakman (1995), which means, in the context of this work, that the model of TRA was built together with the participants, counselors, and patients in the therapeutic community where we have the research. The main techniques used were: the family of origin of the counselor and the collective subject discourse (DSC), according to Lefèvre and Lefèvre (2003). For the analysis of the results, we used the technique of data triangulation, second Denzin and Lincoln (2000). The results contributed to know the social representations of the participants on their families, and systemically, we understand the many aspects involved in the complexity of the cycle of drug-addiction. The interventional techniques helped with the rescue of the aspects resilient and the skills of the family systems and the empowerment of the therapeutic community, patients and their families to approach with the problems of chemical dependency. These techniques also collaborated for the understanding and approach of unpredictability that occurred in a number of areas in the development of the research. The different social representations in DSC were analyzed under the gaze of the intersubjectivity, providing a rich Exchange of views between the participants. The participation in colaboration, in drawing up this model contributed mainly to build together a new knowledge in treatment and prevention for the therapeutic communities, with a broader perspective and global vision, for the family system and other systems involved in the problem of drug-addiction

Panoramic Sham is sunset and sunrise, a walk through a field of wildflowers or a day in the forest. It is that moment when a light breeze tousles your hair and chirping birds reaffirm vitality. Panoramic Sham is also a heap of outdated home goods that once transformed our living rooms into artificial habitats. I reimagine decommissioned domestic goods as a way to confront trends of mass-production, habits of consumption and to explore systems of artifice, authenticity, and the consumer haze perpetuated by contemporary American society. Comprised of synthetic materials and manufactured to impersonate nature, these 20th century cast-offs provide an abundant cycle of cultural and generational refuse.

Full textAbstract:
BG - Brasil e do Instituto Brasileiro de Petróleo, Gás e BiocombustíveisEscoamentos multifásicos estão presentes em diversas atividades industriais como na exploração, produção e transporte de petróleo e gás, onde é comum encontrar escoando por dutos uma mistura de óleo, gás e água. Em muitos casos, o tipo de escoamento determina a eficiência e segurança dos processos e equipamentos onde ocorrem. Com isso, investigações experimentais de escoamento multifásicos são de grande importância no auxilio do desenvolvimento de modelos teóricos e na validação de predições realizadas por simulações, ampliando o entendimento do fenômeno. No passado algumas técnicas para investigação de escoamentos multifásicos foram propostas e aplicadas. Contudo, estas técnicas, na sua maioria, estão limitadas a investigação de escoamentos envolvendo apenas duas fases. Neste trabalho, foi proposta uma nova eletrônica para operar um sensor de malha de eletrodos (Wire-Mesh Sensor) que é capaz de investigar escoamentos contendo até três fases. Inicialmente proposto para visualização de escoamentos bifásicos, o sensor wire-mesh realiza o imageamento da distribuição de fases de uma seção transversal. Com a passagem do escoamento através do sensor, o mapeamento das fases é realizado de forma intrusiva com alta resolução temporal e espacial. Para possibilitar seu uso em escoamentos trifásicos, neste trabalho foi desenvolvida uma nova eletrônica capaz de medir simultaneamente a permissividade elétrica e a condutividade elétrica do fluido presente entre os eletrodos do sensor. O princípio básico do funcionamento é baseado na excitação com duas frequências distintas. Além do hardware foi também desenvolvido um software, onde é possível salvar os dados adquiridos em uma base de dados para futuros estudos. O desempenho da nova eletrônica foi verificado através de medições em componentes (rede RC) com valores de referência. O sistema completo foi utilizado para gerar imagens de uma mistura trifásica ar-óleo-água em condições estáticas e dinâmicas, apresentando bons resultados. Desta forma, a principal contribuição deste trabalho é a disponibilização de uma nova ferramenta para análise de escoamentos multifásicos.
Multiphase flows are present in many industrial activities such as in exploration, production and transportation of oil and gas, in which is common to find a mixture of oil, gas and water flowing inside pipes. In many cases this type of flow determines the efficiency and safety of the processes and equipment where they occur. In this way, experimental investigations of multiphase flow are of great value to develop new theoretical models and to validate predictions made by computer simulations, hence increasing the understanding of the flow phenomena. In this work, a new measuring electronics to operate a wire-mesh sensor (WMS) is introduced. Initially proposed for visualization of two-phase flow, the WMS performs the imaging of the phase distribution of a cross section based on the multiplexed measurement of an electrical property of the fluid in contact with the mesh grid of the sensor. With the passage of flow through the sensor, the phase mapping is realized by intrusive electrodes at high temporal and spatial resolution. To allow its use in multiphase flows, the new electronics developed in this work simultaneously measures the electrical permittivity and electrical conductivity of the media in the mesh grid. The basic idea is to activate the electrodes with a signal composed of two distinct frequencies. Besides the development of the electronics' hardware, a software was also implemented, by which data can be acquired and for future investigation. The performance of the new instrument has been verified by use of components (RC network) with reference values. The developed system was used to generate images of a multiphase mixture of air-oil-water in static and dynamic conditions, showing good results. Thus, the main contribution of this work is to make available a new tool for the investigation of multiphase flows.

Full textAbstract:
Depuis la crise de 2008, les acteurs des marchés cherchent à accroître l’efficacité de leur protection contre les risques spécifiques nés des opérations financières auxquels ils s’exposent quotidiennement. Parallèlement, le législateur doit assurer l'objectif de stabilité financière. La couverture, instrument singulier, fruit de l’imagination des praticiens, s’inscrit depuis quelques années au confluent de ces deux finalités distinctes. Cette double utilisation opacifie cette notion et soulève de nombreuses interrogations.Initialement conçue comme un simple dépôt de garantie complété par des versements de marge en fonction de l’évolution de la valeur des opérations en cours, la couverture a depuis lors fortement évolué. Ses usages se sont multipliés, et ses contours sont devenus incertains, au point d’apparaître comme une notion éclatée. Répondant à diverses appellations, tantôt obligatoire, tantôt facultative, utilisée sur les marchés réglementés comme de gré à gré, la couverture prend désormais des formes si variées que l’on peine à en saisir l’essence. Le recours accru à cet instrument et l’ampleur des enjeux financiers imposent pourtant d’en clarifier le régime en levant les insécurités juridiques qu’il comporte.À travers l’étude de l’ensemble des manifestations de la couverture sur les marchés financiers, la présente thèse tend à mettre en lumière la nature juridique de cette garantie, afin d’apporter un éclairage sur les conditions de sa mise en œuvreSince the financial crisis of 2008, market participants have been seeking to increase the effectiveness of their protection against the specific risks arising from financial transactions to which they are daily exposed. At the same time, the legislator must ensure financial stability. The collateral, unique instrument, designed by financial actors, has been part of these two distinct purposes for some years now. This dual use clouds the concept and raises many questions.Initially conceived as a simple security deposit supplemented by margin calls based on changes in the value of outstanding transactions, collateral has since evolved significantly. Its uses have multiplied, and its boundaries have become uncertain, so much as to appear undefined. Referred to by various names, sometimes mandatory, sometimes optional, and used on regulated markets as well as over-the-counter, collateral now takes such varied forms that it is difficult to grasp its core substance. However, the increased use of this instrument requires that its regime be clarified and the legal uncertainties it produces be removed, given the magnitude of possible financial consequences.By reviewing all the current examples of coverage on the financial markets, this thesis aims to highlight the legal nature of this security interest, in order to shed the necessary light on the conditions for its implementation

Full textAbstract:
L'évaluation de la résistance à l'ouverture des mailles dans les filets de pêche est un enjeu important pour l'évaluation de la sélectivité des chaluts, et plus largement des engins de pêche. Les objectifs de cette thèse sont de développer et d'évaluer une méthodologie pour l'évaluation de la résistance à l'ouverture des mailles dans les filets. Différentes méthodes existent déjà (Sala et al., 2007, Priour and Cognard, 2011, Balash, 2012, De la Prada and Gonzales, 2013). Notre objectif est de proposer une méthode expérimentale simple et ne nécessitant pas d'équipements coûteux pour pouvoir être déployée facilement dans les laboratoires et dans l'industrie de la pêche, combinée avec un modèle numérique capable de représenter le comportement mécanique non-linéaire d'un filet. Le filet, constitué de fils tressés ou toronnés, en Polyéthylène ou Polyamide, présente une structure complexe. De plus, les filets peuvent être soumis à de grandes déformations. Afin d'étudier la réponse mécanique des filets à différents types de sollicitations et de créer une base de données expérimentale, de nombreux essais ont été effectués sur un large éventail de filets de pêche. Plusieurs méthodes numériques pour l'évaluation de la résistance à l'ouverture des mailles à partir de données expérimentales ont été développées. Ces travaux offrent une avancée scientifique pour l'évaluation de la résistance à l'ouverture des mailles : malgré le comportement mécanique visco-élasto-plastique des échantillons de filet, une méthodologie plus simple et plus précise que celles existantes, basée sur un dispositif expérimental simple et un modèle éléments finis libre de droits, est présentéeThe evaluation of the mesh resistance to opening in fishing nets is an important issue to assess the selectivity of trawls, and more broadly of fishing gear. The objectives of this thesis are to develop and to assess a methodology for the evaluation of the mesh resistance to opening in netting structures. Several methods are already proposed (Sala et al., 2007, Priour and Cognard, 2011, Balash, 2012, De la Prada and Gonzales, 2013). This thesis aims at proposing a simple experimental test that does not require expensive devices to be easily spread in laboratories and in the fishing industry, a simple test combined with a numerical model able to represent the non-linear mechanical behaviour of a tested netting panel. The netting structure, constituted of braided or stranded twines, made of Polyethylene or Polyamide, is complex. Moreover, the fishing nets can be subjected to large deformation. In order to study the mechanical response of netting samples to different types of solicitations and to obtain experimental data, numerous experimental tests were performed on a large range of netting samples. Several numerical methods for the evaluation of the mesh resistance to opening using experimental data were developed. This work offers scientific advance for the evaluation of the mesh resistance to opening: despite the visco-elasto-plastic mechanical behaviour of netting samples, one more accurate and simpler methodology than the existing ones, based on a simple experimental set up and on a free of rights finite element model, is presented

Ce travail de thèse présente la conception et la réalisation d'une antenne Ultra Large Bande, de faibles dimensions, destinée à une application géoradar fonctionnant dans un milieu complexe pour une bande fréquentielle comprise entre 70 MHz et 1GHz. Cette étude était inscrite dans le cadre d’un projet Européen dénommé NeTTUN (New Technologies for Tunnelling and Underground works) qui a pour but d’améliorer la sécurité du creusement des tunnels. Dans ce projet, le travail demandé était de réaliser un système géoradar comportant une antenne ULB intégrable sur une tête de coupe d’un tunnelier tout en fonctionnant en basses fréquences.Pour réaliser cette antenne en répondant aux différentes contraintes à la fois de dimensions, d’intégration et de rayonnement, une étude d’insertion de l’antenne dans un matériau diélectrique a été effectuée. Ainsi des analyses ont été menées à fois sur la nature des sous-sols rencontrées, du compromis entre fréquences basses et dimensions minimales mais surtout de l’intégrabilité de l’antenne dans une cavité. Cette étude a permis de concevoir une antenne innovante nommé Khorn étant une association de l’antenne K et de la forme « Horn » d’une antenne cornet. Afin d’évaluer la performance de l’antenne Khorn dans son environnement, la tache de rayonnement et la portée de l’ensemble, antenne et source ont été analysées. Des mesures de validation des prototypes fabriquées ont aussi été effectuéesThis work presents the design and the realization of an antenna Ultra Wide Band, of low dimensions, for a GPR application working in a complex environment in a frequency band between 70 MHz and 1GHz. This study was registered within the framework of a European project mentioned NeTTUN (New Technologies for Tunnelling and Underground works) who aims at improving the security of the tunnel driving. In this project, the wanted work was to realize a GPR system containing an integrable antenna ULB on a TBM cutter head while working in low frequencies.To realize this antenna by answering the various constraints of dimensions, integration and radiation, a study of antenna insertion in a dielectric material was realized. So analyses were led for time on the subsoil nature encountered, of the compromise between low frequencies and minimal dimensions and especially the integrability of the antenna in a cavity. This study allowed to realize an innovative antenna named Khorn. The Khorn is an association of the K antenna and the Horn antenna. To estimate the performance of the Khorn in its environment, the footprint and the radar range were studied. Measures of validation of the realized prototypes were also made

Full textAbstract:
Les législations concernant les marchés financiers régissent non seulement les marchés, mais également les acteurs, les produits ainsi que les activités dans les marchés. En utilisant ces outils juridiques indispensables, les législateurs des deux côtés de l'Atlantique visent, entre autres, à protéger les investisseurs dont la confiance est primordiale pour les marchés, d'une part, et à diminuer les risques systémiques dont le déclenchement pourrait survenir dans un contexte financier de plus en plus globalisé, d'autre part. En effet, après la crise financière globale de 2008, les risques systémiques ont attiré davantage l'attention législative. À partir desdits objectifs que les législateurs veulent atteindre, nous essayons de trouver et analyser les particularités des législations concernées, tant en France ou dans l'Union européenne qu'aux États-Unis, en passant par la comparaison des dispositions législatives ou des initiatives législatives à travers l'Atlantique, avec la considération de l'évolution législative respective. Nous apportons aussi nos réflexions sur les insuffisances ou les déficiences à l’égard de mesures ou d’efforts législatifs pris en compte par les législateurs transatlantiques en vue de réaliser ces objectifs. Face à une crise financière sans précédent à nos jours, et donc à l'exigence d'une réaction législative active, appropriée, opportune et raffinée, il nous semble qu’il est le temps pour les législateurs en France, dans l'Union et aux États-Unis d'approfondir leurs connaissances sur des produits financiers en innovation sans cesse, de mieux adapter leurs stratégies législatives aux développement des activités financières et des entités finiancières, et de renforcer leurs coopérations et coordinations en profondeur dans le domaine de réglementation et supervision financière, et enfin, de mieux réaliser leurs buts poursuivisThe legislations concerning financial markets govern not only the markets, but also the participants, the products and the activities as well in the markets. By using these indispensable legal tools, the legislators of both sides of Atlantic aim at, among others, protecting the investors whose confidence is of top priority to the markets, on the one hand, and reducing the systemic risk which would occur in a more and more globalised financial context, on the other. Indeed, after the global financial crisis of 2008, systemic risk has drawn more legislative attention. From the abovementioned objectives which the legislators would like to achieve, we try to find and analyze the particularity of the legislation concerned, both in France or in the European Union and in the USA, by way of comparison of legislative dispositions or legislative initiatives across the Atlantic, with the consideration about their respective legislative evolution. We also give our reflections on the insufficiencies or the deficiencies with regard to the legislative measures or efforts taken by the transatlantic legislators to realize those objectives. Facing the actual and unprecedented financial crisis, and thus a requirement of dynamic, appropriate, timely and refined legislative reaction, it seems to us that it is the time for legislators in France, in the EU and in the USA to deepen their knowledge about financial products of non-stop innovation, to better adapt their legislative strategies to the development of financial activities and financial entities, to reinforce their cooperation and coordination in depth and in width in the field of financial regulation and supervision, and finally, to better fulfill their pursuing goals

Full textAbstract:
Dai Sumeri a Galileo lo studio dei cinque pianeti conosciuti era stato effettuato ad occhio nudo e aveva consentito di comprendere le modalità del loro moto. Con Galileo gli strumenti tecnologici sono posti a servizio della scienza, per migliorare le prestazioni dei sensi umani. La ricerca subisce così una netta accelerazione che porta, nell'arco di soli tre secoli, alla scoperta dei satelliti di Giove e dei pianeti Urano e Nettuno. Quest'ultima è considerata il trionfo della matematica perché effettuata esclusivamente con lunghi e complessi calcoli.

Full textAbstract:
La responsabilità degli amministratori è uno dei temi caldi in materia di fallimento, soprattutto per quanto riguarda la quantificazione del danno da questi causato. Sovente l’azione di responsabilità viene promossa dal Curatore all’interno di una procedura fallimentare, in quanto con il loro comportamento gli amministratori hanno danneggiato il patrimonio sociale a garanzia dei creditori sociali. Quindi, con la quantificazione di questo danno, si vogliono condannare gli amministratori a risarcire quanto sottratto alla società a seguito della loro condotta illecita. Per quanto riguarda le metodologie per la quantificazione del danno, le due più diffuse e conosciute sono quelle del deficit fallimentare e dei netti patrimoniali; quest’ultima, che sarà oggetto centrale di questo elaborato, è la più discussa di recente, sia in dottrina che in giurisprudenza, in quanto da alcuni è ritenuta la più adeguata mentre da altri è considerata anch’essa come un criterio con dei limiti. Si procederà, quindi, ad un’introduzione sulle azioni di responsabilità che possono essere promosse nei confronti dell’amministratore, ad un’esposizione dei metodi del deficit patrimoniale e dei netti patrimoniali, con apprezzamenti e critiche verso quest’ultimo; verrà poi esposto un caso pratico di azione di responsabilità nei confronti degli amministratori di una società promossa dal Curatore fallimentare, analizzando nello specifico le varie considerazioni dello stesso e del CTU per la quantificazione del danno e le conclusioni a cui si è poi arrivati con la sentenza.

2016 - 2017The study of the static and dynamic behaviour of the architectural heritage of historical-artistic value made up of rigid stone blocks is a topic of particular interest in the field of modern Seismic Engineering. Such knowledge, in fact, is indispensable for the planning of correct maintenance for the conservation of this type of cultural heritage, especially in conditions of natural and human-induced risks. Among these types of artifacts, the Neptune Temple (also called Poseidònion) located inside the Archaeological Park of Paestum (southern Italy) and a case study of this research, is an emblem for the architectural, sculptural, constructional and structural aspects. It is also unique in the international panorama for its state of conservation, still complete of the whole trabeation and the two pediments. The work describes the study and the research in progress in this area, illustrating the main results obtained by in-depth theoretical studies of the static and dynamic behaviour of rigid block, from experimental investigations carried out both in the laboratory and on site. These last were conducted under the patronage of ICOMOS Italia and the Archaeological Park of Paestum. These studies and research have the objective of evaluating the static and dynamic behaviour of the main building blocks of the Temple and, also, evaluating their safety about seismic actions...
