Full textAbstract:
The Destiny-class CyberCANOE (Destiny) is a Hybrid Reality environment that provides 20/20 visual acuity in a 13-foot-wide, 320-degree cylindrical structure comprised of tiled passive stereo-capable organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays. Hybrid Reality systems combine surround-screen virtual reality environments with ultra-high-resolution digital project-rooms. They are intended as collaborative environments that enable multiple users to work minimally encumbered for long periods of time in rooms surrounded by data in the form of visualizations that benefit from being displayed at resolutions matching visual acuity and/or in stereoscopic 3D. Destiny is unique in that it is the first Hybrid Reality system to use OLED displays and it uses a real-time GPU-based approach for minimizing stereoscopic crosstalk. This paper chronicles the non-trivial engineering research and attention-to-detail that is required to develop a production quality hybrid-reality environment by providing details about Destiny’s design and construction process. This detailed account of how a Hybrid Reality system is designed and constructed from the ground up will help VR researchers and developers understand the engineering complexity of developing such systems. This paper also discusses a GPU-based crosstalk mitigation technique and evaluation, and the use of Microsoft’s augmented reality headset, the HoloLens, as a design and training aid during construction.

Full textAbstract:
The effects of fully mechanized pruning systems on physiology, vigor and yield of grapevines have been studied for more than forty years and are an interesting way to reduce production costs. Organic amending of vineyard soil is a way to increase vine productivity. Thus, this study aims to understand the effects of the interaction between these two practices, on vine growth and productivity. Two trial fields were implemented on Shiraz vineyards in 2 different wine regions. Mechanical hedge pruning was compared with hand spur pruning and four different organic amendments were tested: biochar; municipal solid waste compost; cattle manure; sewage sludge. Mechanical pruning and organic amendments, by themselves, did not significantly increase yield. However, the interaction between both factors reduced the impact of self-regulation mechanisms (budburst, bud fruitfulness and cluster weight) in mechanical pruning and successfully increased yield, without decreasing vegetative growth. The effects of mechanical pruning with the application of organic amendments to soil on yield is significant and, thereby, the choice of the organic amendment and its amount, must be done considering the destiny of produced grapes.

Full textAbstract:
HER2 targeted therapies have significantly improved prognosis of HER2-positive breast and gastric cancer. HER2 overexpression and mutation is the pathogenic driver in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer, however, to date, there are no approved HER2-targeted therapies with these indications. Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) is a novel HER2-directed antibody drug conjugate showing significant anti-tumor activity in heavily pre-treated HER2-positive breast and gastric cancer patients. Preliminary data have shown promising objective response rates in patients with HER2-positive NSCLC and colorectal cancer. T-DXd has an acceptable safety profile, however with concerns regarding potentially serious treatment-emergent adverse events. In this review we focus on the pharmacologic characteristics and toxicity profile of T-Dxd, and provide an update on the most recent results of clinical trials of T-DXd in solid tumors. The referenced papers were selected through a PubMed search performed on 16 March 2021 with the following searching terms: T-DXd and breast cancer, or gastric cancer, or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), or colorectal cancer. Oral presentation, abstracts, and posters presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO, Alexandria, VA, USA) 2020 and the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO, Lugano, Switzerland) 2020 annual meetings were retrieved for data on T-DXd. We also overview ongoing research and data of combination therapies currently under investigation, which will impact on future therapeutic strategies. Clinicaltrials.gov was searched to identify ongoing clinical trials of T-DXd alone or in combination in solid tumors.

Full textAbstract:
The ability to respond to changing consumer and industrial wastes is critical for water treatment. Surfactants are of importance because of their increasing prevalence in home and industrial settings, as well as the challenges they provide to standard treatment. Surface active agents (SAAs) are chemical compounds that are discharged into the environment. They may have a deleterious impact on ecosystem biotic components. They also produce an increase in the aqueous phase solubility of organic contaminants. The destiny of SAAs in the environment is currently uncertain. Recognizing this issue will help to safeguard live species and maintain the quality and balance of a diverse ecosystem.This critical evaluation considers studies from several technical disciplines to offer an up-to-date summary of the environmental effects of surfactants. A variety of technologies are discussed, as well as their drawbacks and potential solutions.

Full textAbstract:
My project reflects upon our body's impermanence and our efforts to balance the enormity of the concept of mortality with living every day. It investigates the condition of being that one cannot permit oneself to know too often, that is, the condition of, inhabiting a body through which one engages meaningfully with the world as a conscious being, but aware that this body will die. Within this framework, I investigate concepts of consciousness, sentience, and impermanence. These are concepts that are not clearly delineated in experience. There is a need to grasp them by means of other concepts that are understood in clearer terms. Using the quotidian experiences of food preparation, eating and the domestic as metaphorical tools, I delve into these themes. As I worked with these ideas the wider possibilities, both material and conceptual became evident. I expanded the initial medium of food to encompass personal objects and daily bodily processes in my attempt to probe complicated feelings about the impermanence of my own body. The project matured into a closer examination of what could be read as signs in every day life, of my body's vulnerability to death. The specific areas of focus are: Skin, Reanimation of the inanimate, Mouth, Concepts of the internal, Organs, Offal, Transmogrification, Organic destiny. Beginning with the skin that we are encased in, I used my body as an armature to produce a facsimile of my own hollowed-out empty skin. In Reanimation of the inanimate, I explore the continuum from preserved food to fermented food investigating the development from food as organic material whose life had passed to food as organic material in which change is an indicator of ongoing life. In the section titled Mouth, I consider the concept of exploring the world with one's mouth and the notion of anti-food. Introduced in Concepts of the internal are three investigations of the internal human body: anatomical illustrations from the sixteenth century, a cinematic portrayal from 1966 that has included in its subtext a spiritual journey, and a current project in which the internal human body is seen as purely scientific data. In Organs I investigate the idea of ingesting 'properties of character' that can be culturally associated with internal organs and the possibility that such characteristics could permeate the person ingesting them. In the section titled Offal, I propose that the polarity of life and death inherent in food is most evident when eating a meal of offal. In Transmogrificaation, I consider the conundrum of my internal organs, that is, they are mine in fact they are 'me' and at the same time they are foreign to me. In this section, I also investigate the concept of my body as a conduit with the ability to transport and transform matter. Finally, in Organic destiny I posit the notion that as bodies we are an ongoing process, an accumulation of matter built up over time and that we are small participants in a much bigger phenomenon.

Le but de cette étude est d'obtenir de nouveaux matériaux polymères photostucturables pour l'enregistrement holographique. La première partie de ce travail a été consacrée à la synthèse radicalaire de copolymères carbazoliques à base d'unités carbazolylméthacylates espacées par des groupements octylméthacrylates, puis à leur purification et enfin à leur caractérisation. Une analyse approfondie de leur comportement photochimique a été menée à des longueurs d'onde d'irradiation supérieures à 300 nm représentatives du vieillissement naturel. Une étude des mécanismes photochimiques mis en jeu sous irradiation laser à 405 nm (longueur d'onde utilisée pour l'enregistrement holographique) a ensuite été réalisée avec des copolymères dopés avec de l'iodoforme. Enfin, la faisabilité des enregistrements holographiques a pu être démontrée sous irradiation laser à 480 et 532 nm en dopant les copolymères avec de la trinitrofluorénone

Full textAbstract:
Em regiões agrícolas próximas dos grandes centros urbanos e onde há o uso intensivo de recursos naturais, em especial do solo, a reciclagem para fins agrícolas de lodos de esgotos aparece como alternativa promissora. Contudo, a sustentabilidade dessa prática deve ser avaliada, ainda mais se considerado a escassez de informações sobre possíveis impactos ambientais em áreas tropicais. Com esse objetivo esse trabalho avaliou os efeitos da adição de lodo de esgoto em dois solos, Latossolo Vermelho eutroférrico e Latossolo Vermelho distrófico, coletados no 7º ano de um experimento em campo, instalado em 1997 na Faculdade de Ciências Agrárias e Veterinárias da Unesp, em Jaboticabal-SP. O lodo de esgoto foi proveniente da Estação de Tratamento de Esgoto da Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo, em Barueri-SP. Para observar os efeitos da adição do lodo de esgoto foram analisados os ácidos húmicos extraídos dos solos utilizando absorção de radiação no UV-Visível, infravermelho com transformada de Fourier, ressonância magnética nuclear, ressonância paramagnética eletrônica, fluorescência e análise elementar. Para a análise do solo intacto utilizou-se a fluorescência induzida por laser, e para as frações físicas e químicas a emissão atômica com plasma indutivamente acoplado. Experimentos de infravermelho com transformada de Fourier e ressonância magnética nuclear forneceram espectros com bandas características de grupos alifáticos para o ácido húmico extraído do lodo, comprovando seu alto grau de alifaticidade. O nível de radicais livres do tipo semiquinona determinado por ressonância paramagnética eletrônica diminuiu significativamente para os solos submetidos à adição de lodo. Dados de fluorescência utilizando diferentes metodologias (Zolnay et al., 1999; Milori et al., 2002; Kalbitz et al., 1999) e fluorescência induzida por laser, de amostras de solo intacto, apresentaram comportamento similar. De forma geral, os resultados obtidos por análises espectroscópicas mostraram à incorporação de compostos menos humificados, com um alto grau de alifaticidade e baixo grau de aromaticidade. A análise de metais em solos tratados com lodo de esgoto em algumas situações não tem evidenciado o aumento destes elementos, mesmo quando o lodo apresenta níveis superiores aos valores encontrados no solo. Assim fica a pergunta, onde e como estão os metais pesados oriundos do lodo e que deveriam ser detectados em níveis maiores nos solos tratados. Neste trabalho procuramos ampliar as avaliações para além dos procedimentos convencionais com análises das frações físicas e químicas. Os metais pesados estudados foram: Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Co, Mn, Mo, V e Zn. Os resultados obtidos mostraram maior afinidade dos metais pelas frações físicas de menor tamanho (argila e silte fino). Contudo, maiores teores de metais foram observados nas frações químicas do solo, sugerindo maior poder de complexação das substâncias húmicas do solo. A concentração de Zn observada na água de lavagem da humina foi superior a encontrada na fração humina, mostrando maior afinidade desse metal pela matéria orgânica dissolvida. Esse resultado é importante, pois evidencia a perda desse metal durante o processo de fracionamento químico, visto que essa água é descartada. As frações de ácido fúlvico 1 e 2 apresentaram concentrações significativas de metais, principalmente Cd, Cu, Mn e Zn, sendo as maiores encontradas para o ácido fúlvico 1. O ácido húmico, devido a grande quantidade de grupos reativos (carboxílicos e fenólicos), mostrou ser um forte agente complexante de metais. Esses resultados indicam diferente afinidade dos metais pelas frações físicas e químicas do solo, ressaltando a importância do estudo do destino dos metais nas diferentes frações do solo.In agricultural regions near big urban areas and where the intensive use of natural resources exists, in particular of the soil, recycling sewage sludge with agricultural finality appears as a promising alternative. However, the sustainability of this practice needs to be further assessed, even more so when considering there is lack of information on environmental impacts in tropical areas. The present work evaluated the effects of sewage sludge addition to two soils, Rhodic Eutrodox and Rhodic Hapludox by FAO Taxonomy) colleted from a field experiment, installed in 1997 in the city of Jaboticabal, São Paulo State. Sewage sludge was obtained from the Barueri sewage sludge treatment plant, located in the metropolitan region of São Paulo State, Brazil, operated by the Basic Sanitation Company of the State of São Paulo. In order to observe the effects of the sewage sludge addition, the humic acids extracted from soils were analyzed by absorption of ultraviolet and visible radiation, Fourier transform infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, eletronic paramagnetic resonance, fluorescence and elementar analyses. To analyse the intact soil laser induced fluorescence was used, and for physics and chemical inductively coupled plasma atomic emission was used. The results obtained by Fourier transformed infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance showed spectra with characteristic bands from aliphaticity groups for humic acid from sewage sludge, confirming their high aliphacitity degree. The level of the semiquinona free radicals determined by electronic paramagnetic resonance decreased for soils under sewage sludge application. Data from fluorescence utilizing different methodologies (Zolnay et al., 1999; Milori et al., 2002; Kalbitz et al., 1999) and laser induced fluorescence, from intact soil, showed similar results. In a general manner, the results obtained for spectroscopy analyses showed incorporation of less humified compounds, with high aliphaticity degree and lower aromaticity degree. Analyses of the metals in soils under sewage sludge application in some cases have not evidenced the increase of these elements, even when the sewage show higher levels to those found in the soils. Thus, the question remains, where and how are the heavy metals from sewage sludge? Which, should have been detected in higher levels in soils under sewage sludge application? The objective of this work was to amplify the valuations beyond the conventional proceedings with analyses of physics and chemical fractions. The heavy metals studied were: Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Co, Mn, Mo, V and Zn. The results obtained showed higher affinity of metals for physical fractions that have smaller size (clay and fine silt). However, higher heavy metals concentrations were observed in the chemical fractions of the soils, due to higher complexity power of the humic substances of soils. The Zn concentration observed in the water of the humin wash was higher than what was observed in the humina fraction, showing higher affinity of this metal for dissolved organic matter. This result is important, because it evidences the loss of this metal during the extraction process of the humic substances, since this water is discarded. The fractions of fulvic acids 1 and 2 showed significative concentrations of the metals, mainly Cd, Cu, Mn and Zn, being that the biggest were for humic acids, because the most quantity of the reactive groups (charboxilics and phenolics), showed to be a strong complex agent of the metals. Such results indicate different affinity of metals for physics and chemical fractions from soils, emphasizing the importance of the study of the course of heavy metals in the different fractions of the soil.

Full textAbstract:
The Open Ocean has been recognized as playing a key role on global dynamics of pollutants due to its large coverage of the planet surface, its high degradation potential and its sink and accumulation capacities towards anthropogenic chemicals. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of measurements of contaminants in the Open Ocean lower atmosphere, water column and trophic chain as a result of its remoteness and wide spatial reach. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are an important class of chemical contaminants due to their particular characteristics such as persistency, bioaccumulation potential, high toxicity and long range environmental transport capacity. Even though previous studies report their occurrence in the marine environment, the processes and magnitude of their fate, transport and sinks in the Open Ocean remain uncharacterized. In this Thesis two groups of organic contaminants have been selected in order to study POPs dynamics and fate in the oceanic environment. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are organic pollutants generated during incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and organic matter, but as well coming from petrogenic and biogenic natural sources. PAHs are semivolatile and highly mobile between the atmosphere and aqueous systems. Perfluoroalkylated substances (PFASs) are anthropogenic halogenated pollutants, recently developed for industrial and consumer goods usage. They are extremely persistent and exhibit higher solubility and lower hydrophobicity than most POPs, which makes them prone to be found in aqueous matrixes.
During the Malaspina 2010 circumnavigation cruise across the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans (35°N- 40°S), 64 PAHs were measured in the gas, aerosol, rainwater, dissolved, particulate and plankton matrixes, and 11 PFASs were quantified in dissolved phase at surface and deep chlorophyll maximum depth seawater. Degradation and atmospheric deposition of PAHs was assessed for dry deposition, wet deposition and diffusive air-water exchange, suggesting approaches for their global estimation, and proposing a global budget for PFAS, PAHs, and other semivolatile aromatic-like compounds, and their effect in the carbon global cycle. Dry deposition was obtained by direct measurements on board and parametrized for the whole tropical and subtropical Ocean; wet deposition was quantified from the precipitation rainwater gathered during the cruise; and diffusive exchange was calculated from the measured PAHs concentrations in the gas and dissolved phases, concurrently with the environmental parameters affecting volatilization and absorption (temperature, wind speed, salinity, dissolved organic carbon among others). Moreover, vertical distribution processes and influencing parameters in the surface mixed layer of the water column were assessed for PAHs and PFASs. Processes evaluated for PAHs include the vertical fluxes associated to the organic matter sinking (biological pump), biomass dilution, planktonic degradation, and air-water-particle exchange. For PFASs, the biological pump and eddy diffusive fluxes (based on turbulence eddy diffusion coefficients measured concurrently to the PFASs sampling) were assessed empirically for the first time in literature. The analysis of the complex feedback established between atmospheric depositional fluxes and the diffusive, degradative and biological pumps fluxes in the marine water column at a global scale is also covered. Furthermore, a wide array of understudied environmental parameters are reviewed as plausible factors affecting POPs fate in the Open Ocean, and a proposal of the research directions to follow and missing gaps to be filled is done. Amongst the innovative outcomes of this study, it can be highlighted the comprehensive sampling covering the tropical and subtropical global oceans, and the large amount of experimentally determined processes and influencing factors in order to better understand the global fate of chemical organic pollutants in the Open Ocean.El Océano Abierto está reconocido como un ambiente clave en la dinámica global de la contaminación debido a que representa un gran porcentaje de la superficie terrestre, su alto potencial de degradación y su capacidad como sumidero de sustancias químicas antropogénicas. En esta Tesis dos grupos de contaminantes orgánicos han sido seleccionados para ilustrar la dinámica de los COP y su destino en el medio ambiente oceánico: los hidrocarburos aromáticos policíclicos (PAHs) y las sustancias perfluoroalquiladas (PFASs). Durante la campaña de circunnavegación Malaspina 2010 a través de los océanos Atlántico, Pacífico e Índico (35°N- 40°S), se midieron 64 PAHs en las matrices gas, aerosol, agua de lluvia, disuelto, particulado y en el plancton; y 11 PFAS se cuantificaron en la fase disuelta de agua marina superficial y de la profundidad del máximo de clorofila. La degradación y la deposición atmosférica de los PAHs se evaluaron mediante las medidas de deposición seca, deposición húmeda e intercambio difusivo aire-agua, sugiriéndose métodos para su cuantificación global y proponiéndose un cómputo global para estos contaminantes y otros compuestos semivolátiles aromáticos, así como su efecto en el ciclo del carbono. Asimismo, se midieron los procesos de distribución vertical y los parámetros que afectan a las concentraciones de PAHs y PFASs en la capa de mezcla superficial de la columna de agua. Los procesos examinados para PAHs incluyen los flujos verticales asociados con la sedimentación de materia orgánica (bomba biológica), la biodilución, la degradación planctónica, y el equilibrio aire-agua-partícula. Para las PFASs, la bomba biológica y los flujos difusivos turbulentos (basados en medidas de los coeficientes de difusión turbulenta simultáneas con el muestreo de PFASs) fueron medidos empíricamente por primera vez en la literatura. El análisis de los complejos efectos retroactivos establecidos entre los flujos de deposición y los procesos de degradación, difusión y la bomba biológica a escala global también ha sido abordado. De la misma forma, un amplio espectro de parámetros ambientales se ha revisado para dilucidar posibles factores que pudieran afectar al destino de los COP en el Océano Abierto, y se proponen una serie de líneas de investigación y necesidades prioritarias para su futura investigación.

As ONGs, situadas em comunidades em situa??o de vulnerabilidade, desenvolvem a??es de forma??o com o p?blico infanto-juvenil complementando o ensino formal. A atua??o dessas institui??es sem fins lucrativos se configura como uma estrat?gia, especialmente no novo mil?nio, de combater a pobreza com a educa??o por meio da inclus?o social e qualifica??o para o trabalho. Para tanto, compartilham dessa responsabilidade o Estado, o privado e a sociedade. A perspectiva de an?lise desse estudo se deu a partir da constru??o de categorias relacionadas com a literatura. Os resultados apontam que a cidadania ? o principal foco do trabalho desenvolvido por meio de atividades nas ?reas de artes e cultura. A concep??o de educa??o se fundamenta na perspectiva de transforma??o em n?vel individual, atrav?s de inser??o social, melhoria de vida e compreens?o da realidade. A luta pelos direitos sociais constitu?dos na sociedade ? uma das bandeiras das organiza??es. Na pr?tica, atividades l?dicas e recreativas s?o realizadas em todas as ONGs e, em algumas, h? tamb?m o desenvolvimento de um trabalho reflexivo e cr?tico. Conclui-se que o trabalho das ONGs ? significativo para as crian?as e adolescentes atendidas, por terem acesso a conhecimentos e ao desenvolvimento de capacidades e habilidades art?sticas. Dessa forma, as mudan?as que as ONGs conseguem produzir acontecem atrav?s de uma educa??o que visa auxiliar no processo de empoderamento e criticidade do p?blico atendido. No entanto, limites do trabalho foram encontrados no que se refere ? dist?ncia entre o prescrito no projeto pedag?gico e o que acontece na pr?tica e nos desafios quanto ? sustenta??o dos projetos das ONGs.
This work aimed to investigate the role of non - governmental organizations (NGOs) in the education of children and adolescents in the municipality of Jo?o Pessoa/PB. The study was developed with seven organizations in six districts of the city, from interviews, observations and reading of pedagogical projects. NGOs, located in communities in vulnerable situations, develop training actions with the children and youths complementing formal education. The performance of these non-profit institutions is a strategy, especially in the new millennium, to combat poverty through education by means of social inclusion and job qualification. To this end, the State, the private sector and society share this responsibility. The analysis perspective of this study was based on the construction of categories related to literature. The results indicate that citizenship is the main focus of the work developed, through activities in the areas of arts and culture. The conception of education is based on the perspective of transformation at the individual level, through social insertion, improvement of life and understanding of the reality. The fight for social rights constituted in society is one of the flags of the organizations. In practice, recreational and playful activities are carried out in all NGOs, and in some, there is also the development of reflective and critical work. It is concluded that the work of NGOs is significant for the children and adolescents served, because they have access to knowledge and the development of artistic skills and abilities. In this way, the changes that the NGOs can produce take place through an education that aims to help the process of empowerment and criticality of the public served. However, the limits of the work were found regarding the distance between what is prescribed in the pedagogical project and what happens in practice and in the challenges regarding the sustainability of NGO projects.

Full textAbstract:
L'objectif de ce travail de thèse est l'élaboration d'une photodiode organique (OPD) destinée à être intégrée dans un biocapteur. Ce travail s'inscrit dans le cadre plus général de l'étude et de l'amélioration de composants organiques impliqués dans des microsystèmes de détection visant à surveiller la pollution de l'eau. Le besoin d'évaluation et de suivi de la qualité de l'eau suscite un grand intérêt pour des systèmes de détection portables de polluants ayant une réponse rapide et de faible coût. Le principe de la mesure repose sur la détection des variations de fluorescence de micro-algues en présence de substances toxiques. Excitées grâce à une diode électroluminescente (LED) bleue, les algues vont émettre un signal de fluorescence dont l'intensité, modifiée en présence de polluant (Diuron), est détectée par l'OPD optimisée. Le signal de fluorescence à détecter étant très faible, l'OPD idéale doit avoir un faible courant d'obscurité et une grande sensibilité. Cela passe par un choix judicieux des matériaux semi-conducteurs organiques (OSC) entrant dans l'élaboration de la couche active du composant. Pour accompagner le choix des matériaux, il est intéressant d'explorer leurs propriétés physico-chimiques tout en essayant de rationaliser les mécanismes mis en jeu au sein de ces matériaux lorsqu'ils sont utilisés dans l'élaboration d'OPD (phénomènes d'absorption de photons, mécanismes de transport de charges, et pertes associées aux recombinaisons de charges). Cette thèse s'articule autour de deux axes. Le premier axe consiste en une étude théorique qui vise à comprendre et à maitriser l'échange des charges à l'échelle nanométrique par des caractérisations optiques et des calculs de chimie quantique basés sur des méthodes DFT et TD-DFT. L'étude sur un système modèle (le P3HT) a permis d'établir un protocole de calcul très prometteur pour l'étude des propriétés de matériau d'intérêt, en particulier le PTB7. Le second axe est un volet à caractère expérimental. L'élaboration, la caractérisation et l'optimisation d'OPD à base de PTB7 : PC60BM a permis de concevoir un biocapteur algal apte à détecter le Diuron à des concentrations de l'ordre du nanomolaireThe aim of this thesis is to develop an organic photodiode (OPD) designed to be integrated into a biosensor. It is part of the broader framework of studying and improving organic components involved into devices devoted to water pollution monitoring. The need for such portable, fast-response, low-cost microsystems is of great interest. The measurement is based on the fluorescence detection of micro-algae under toxic substances exposure. The excited algae, under a blue light emitting diode (LED), will emit a fluorescence signal whose intensity, modified because of pollutant exposure (Diuron), is detected by the OPD. Since the fluorescence signal is very weak, the ideal OPD must have a low dark current and a high sensitivity. To achieve this performance, a judicious choice of organic semiconductor materials (OSC) used for the OPD is required. In addition, it is interesting to investigate their physico-chemical properties by rationalizing the mechanisms involved in the active layer (photon absorption phenomena, charge transport mechanisms, and losses associated with charge recombinations). This thesis is based on two axes. The first one consists in a theoretical study of the charge exchanges at a nanoscale. This have been done by both optical characterizations and quantum chemistry calculations based on DFT and TD-DFT methods. Calculations were performed on a model system (P3HT) thus providing the basis for a very promising computational protocol for studying the properties of materials of interest, for instance PTB7. The second axis concerns the experimental study of the OPD based on PTB7:PC60BM. We have developed, characterized and optimized an OPD guarantying the detection of algal fluorescence without and with Diuron at about nanomolar concentrations

Full textAbstract:
La réduction de la contamination du circuit primaire des réacteurs à eau pressurisée est une préoccupation constante de l'industrie nucléaire. Une part importante de cette contamination provient du stellite, alliage base cobalt, utilisé comme revêtement dur dans les vannes de barrage du circuit primaire. L'objectif de cette étude est de qualifier des revêtements sans cobalt pour la substitution du stellite. Les revêtements étudiés peuvent être classés en trois catégories : les revêtements fins à base de chrome carbone déposés par PVD, les revêtements semi-épais déposés par détonation canon et constitués de 65% à 95% de CR3C2 et/ou WC liés par une matrice nickel chrome et enfin les revêtements épais déposés par PTA et constitués de 10% à 30% de TIC ou de NBC dans les matrices d'INCONEL 625 ou de NITRONIC 60. Ces revêtements ont été caractérisés en corrosion, en chocs thermiques et en frottement. La sollicitation la plus contraignante étant le frottement, La tribologie à constitué la majeure partie de ce travail. Deux bancs d'essais ont permis de tester ces revêtements : l'un, un tribomètre Pions/Barreau a permis de tester la tenue des revêtements et l'autre, simulant le fonctionnement d'une vanne à opercule dans les conditions de fonctionnement de pression et de température du circuit primaire des REP (160 BAR et 350C) a permis une qualification des revêtements dans les conditions réelles. A l'issus de ces essais, seuls les revêtements semi-épais offrent des nuances pouvant concurrencer les stellites

Full textAbstract:
This article aims to shows that a consideration of gender is crucial to the understanding of the crime of genocide, because genocide is an historical process that is, at its core, about group reproduction. The perpetrators must either annul reproduction within the group or appropriate the progeny in order to destroy the group in the long run. While the perpetrators' ultimate aim is the material destruction of the target group, the means used to achieve this end tend to target men and women according to their perceived and actual positions within the reproductive process. As part of the killing, then, one finds in all genocides a shared set of tortures involving generative symbols and institutions (reproductive organs, infants and small children, and the bonds that promote family coherence).

Full textAbstract:
The final chapter offers a conclusion through a reflection on some of the major concerns of the book. Centrally, this chapter returns to the figure of the child and its affective presence on stage, the early modern contexts through which children were both celebrated and disenfranchised, and the unique position that Shakespeare takes in supporting and developing their role on the early modern stage. The book demonstrates that the child was a vital figure in the development of early modern drama, not through their presentation in children’s playing companies but through the plays’ exploration of what children mean to those who love them, as well as those who destroy them. Considering the shape of history, the images of responsibility through which societies organize their value systems, the structures of power and responsibility through which parents determine both their love and their separation, the book concludes with the feelings that shape the children of the past, whether recollected in tranquillity or violence.

During the early 1950s, several dozen surgeons were attempting to develop technologies and techniques that would allow them to operate inside the heart. The challenge was to develop a safe way to temporarily take over the functions of the heart and lungs so the heart could be opened and drained of blood. A surgeon could then see and repair abnormal or damaged structures inside the organ. The first patients were children or adolescents with congenital heart defects that had caused heart failure. Mayo surgeon John Kirklin led a multidisciplinary team in the testing and clinical use of a heart-lung machine that had been refined in Rochester from plans provided by IBM and John Gibbon Jr. of Philadelphia. Although initial mortality was high, experience with the Mayo-Gibbon machine proved that it was possible to operate inside the hearts and save the lives of patients who were destined to die without surgery.

Full textAbstract:
Posthumanism in Young Adult Fiction: Finding Humanity in a Posthuman World, edited by Anita Tarr and Donna White, is a collection of twelve essays analyzing young adult science fiction and fantasy in terms of how representative contemporary YA books’ authors describe and their characters portray elements of posthumanist attitudes. The authors give a brief survey of theorists’ discussions of how posthumanism rejects—but does not entirely forsake—liberal humanist tenets. Primarily, posthumanism calls for embracing the Other, eliminating binaries that separate human and nonhuman, human and nature, organic and inorganic, stressing the process of always-becoming. Due to technological enhancements, we should recognize that our species is changing, as it always has, becoming more networked and communal, fluid and changeable. Posthumanism does not mandate cyborgs, cloning, genetic enhancement, animal-human hybrids, mutations, advanced prosthetics, and superhuman strengths—although all of these are discussed in the collected essays. Posthumanism generally upholds liberal humanist values of compassion, fairness, and ethical responsibility, but dismantles the core of anthropocentrism: the notion that humans are superior and dominant over all other species and have the right to control, exploit, destroy, or marginalize those who are not the ideal white, able-bodied male. The more we discover about humans, the more we question our exceptionality; that is, since we co-evolved with many other organisms, especially bacteria, there is no DNA genome that is uniquely human; since we share many traits with animals, there is no single trait that defines us as human or as not human (such as using tools, speaking language, having a soul, expressing emotions, being totally organic, having a sense of wonder). The twelve essayists do not propose that YA fiction should offer guidelines for negotiating posthumanist subjectivity—being fragmented and multiple, networked vulnerable—though many of the novels analyzed actually do this. Other novelists bring their adolescent characters to the brink, but do not allow them to move beyond the familiar structures of society, even if they are rebelling against those very structures. Indeed, adolescence and posthumanism share many elements, especially anxieties about future possibilities, embracing new ideas and new selves, and being in a liminal state of in-between-ness that does not resolve itself. In other words, young adult fiction is the ideal venue to explore how we are now or we might in the future maintain our humanity in a posthuman world.

Full textAbstract:
Through the testimonies of civil administrators and security hawks, this chapter demonstrates the repatriation of nearly a million Rwandans from the camps was not the exorcism Paul Kagame had hoped for, but rather how the opposite was true. The failure to organize screening at the border meant that within months of the return of the refugees the RPF had to confront an insurgency that engulfed the country. With thousands of soldiers deployed in Congo, it could barely stave off the existential menace of the resurgent génocidaires. This context informed how the RPF responded to Kabila’s Katangization. For Kigali, its shrinking influence in Kinshasa was a disaster, as it came just when Kabarebe needed his authority as chief of staff to send Congolese troops to destroy the resurfaced rear bases of the génocidaires in North and South Kivu. The actual divorce was accelerated when intelligence reports began showing the unthinkable was happening: in Kabila’s attempts at escaping Kabarebe’s embrace, his advisors forged links with the génocidaires and supplied them with weapons. This was a point of no return in the security dilemma facing the liberation coalition. Paul Kagame gave the green light to proceed with a regime change strategy in Congo.

Abstract This book chapter discusses ants. Because ants live in large nests that can house many thousands to millions of individuals, their collective effect is certainly what causes greatest concern as a force that may destroy or consume large quantities of food or other materials important to humans. In nature, ants perform beneficial functions, preying on pests, aerating soils, moving soil nutrients, and decomposing organic matter, but in urban environments, they can be considered as one of the most destructive urban pests. Ants belong to the order Hymenoptera which also includes bees and wasps, and, like many other hymenopterans, they are social insects with colony duties divided among different castes. Although most ants can bite with their jaws, the ones that cause greater concern are the ones that sting, using a modified ovipositor to inflict pain. Emphasis should be on excluding ants from buildings and eliminating food and water sources. Ants undergo complete metamorphosis, having egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages. Ant management requires diligent effort and the combined use of mechanical, cultural, sanitation, and chemical methods of control.

AbstractA multidimensional financial system could provide benefits for individuals, companies, and states. Instead of top-down control, which is destined to eventually fail in a hyperconnected world, a bottom-up creation of value can unleash creative potential and drive innovations. Multiple currency dimensions can represent different externalities and thus enable the design of incentives and feedback mechanisms that foster the ability of complex dynamical systems to self-organize and lead to a more resilient society and sustainable economy. Modern information and communication technologies play a crucial role in this process, as Web 2.0 and online social networks promote cooperation and collaboration on unprecedented scales. Within this contribution, we discuss how one dimension of a multidimensional currency system could represent socio-digital capital (Social Bitcoins) that can be generated in a bottom-up way by individuals who perform search and navigation tasks in a future version of the digital world. The incentive to mine Social Bitcoins could sustain digital diversity, which mitigates the risk of totalitarian control by powerful monopolies of information and can create new business opportunities needed in times where a large fraction of current jobs is estimated to disappear due to computerization.

This introductory chapter briefly presents some new perspectives on Garveyism. Though commonly recognized as one of the most important phenomena in the history of the African diaspora, observers of the Garvey phenomenon often struggle to explain it. This chapter (and the book as a whole) attempt to fill in the gaps in Garvey scholarship by characterizing Garveyism as a method of organic mass politics, in which “process” was privileged over “stance”; and a sustained project of diasporic identity building, where “race” according to Marcus Mosiah Garvey was a fixed signifier, connecting peoples of African descent to a single, ancient history, and guiding them to a common destiny. To conclude, the chapter discusses the structure and approach this volume will undertake in studying Garvey.

The presence of hazardous micropollutants in water and wastewater is one of the main concerns in water management system. This micropollutant exists in a low concentration, but there are possible hazards to humans and organisms living in the water. Moreover, its character that is recalcitrant to microbiological degradation makes it difficult to deal with. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are efficient methods to remove low concentration micropollutants. AOPs are a set of processes consisting the production of very reactive oxygen species which able to destroy a wide range of organic compounds. The main principal mechanism in UV-based radical AOP treatment processes is the use ultraviolet light to initiate generation of hydroxyl radicals used to destroy persistent organic pollutants. Therefore, this chapter presents an overview on the principle of radical oxidant species generation and degradation mechanism by various type of UV based AOP in treating contaminants present in water and wastewater. The current application and possible improvement of the technology is also presented in this chapter.

Full textAbstract:
As is generally perceived, one of the leading themes in Plato’s Republic is psycho-paideia, education and enculturation of human soul or psyche (ψυχή) from a moralistic standpoint. Interestingly, the overall structure of the dialogue as a whole is philosophically framed to address the problem with the soul through a chain of myths or allegories. It commences with the myth of the magic ring of Gyges (359d-360d) that is deployed to expose the vulnerable nature of the human soul in the choice between the just and unjust deeds; later on it intermediates with the allegorical tripartition of the soul through the three prominent images of a man, a lion and a many-headed monster (588c-590c), employed to illustrate the complex traits of the soul itself and its possible likes and consequences; and finally, it ends up with the great myth of Er (614b-621b), especially designed to illuminate the postmortem experience of the wandering soul that witnessed how the divinely authorized reward-and-punishment principle is applied to the other afterlife souls, categorized into two broad types known as the just and the unjust. This experience is associated with transmigration in the mystic overtone of the Orphic-Pythagorean tradition. The myth of Er at the end of Plato’s Republic is usually conceived as an eschatological one, set in a philosophical context. It, thus, reveals the relationship between philomythos and phylosophos, and the interaction between myth and philosophy in a creative manner. Engaging and thought-provocating as it is, it is deployed to stir much reflection on the possible aspects of the human soul in terms of justice and injustice. In addition, it well demonstrates how Plato applies it as one of many typical cases to his philosophical discourse and speculative formulation with dramatic effect, mystical import and aesthetic pleasure. Teleologically, the story itself could be treated as a psycho-paideia mythos in principle. It is intended to help cultivate and save the soul through such three ways as the heavenly, the underground, and the philosophical. All this is assumed to feature a kind of poetic wisdom characteristic of Plato’s poetic philosophy as is exemplified in his dialogues. This poetic wisdom lies in such realms as philosophical rewriting of myths, organic contextuality, divine law in a moralized cosmos, symbolic expression of the oneness between absolute necessity and destiny, imaginative participation via mythical experience, and even bricolage intellectue working at cross-levels.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Crude oil pollution is a serious threat to both humans and agricultural trends in all ramifications. The effects include suffocation of humans, plants and other useful organisms in the polluted area. The resultant effect is that it is cost effective and provides an aerated soil environment for enough nutrient distribution. This research designed an effective reagent that has ability to destroy the crude oil molecules in the soil and reviewed highlights for crude oil molecule conversion into soil nutrient. The formulation is based on the principle of complete destruction or combustion of hydrocarbons (crude oil) molecules. The Reagent is called hydrocarbons polluted area sludge solution. The advantage is that the polluted soil is remediated and it is restored after the application of the reagent, with increase in its original fertility. The reagent was applied on a soil polluted by crude oil around Warri Refinery and the result showed a complete destruction of the sludge molecules. It converted the sludge molecules into organic salt, hydride and water molecules. It was equally used on samples sludge from Ogoni polluted area and the result was successful. The sludge was completely destroyed and converted into organic salts and acids. Soil and water samples around the polluted area analysis result revealed that contaminated soil and water were restored. It has been confirmed that the reagent has the ability to destroy sludge molecules in soil, effectively clean and restore the soil with added fertility.

Full textAbstract:
The Florida citrus industry has been through a major change in environmental laws during the 1990’s. Current laws dictate that processors must remove 50% of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from incoming fruit by October 2002, and 65% VOC removal pending EPA approval. In addition, processors are more aware of the impact wastewater generation has on the total cost of processing in terms of monies for treatment facilities and monies for permitting. An optimum oil recovery system is one that both reduces production of VOCs and minimizes wastewater generation. Brown oil extractor (BOE) systems have been shown to reduce the amount of peel oil destined for the feedmill while maintaining good control of fresh water use and limiting waste water effluent. The purpose of this paper is to provide data to the audience about the BOE’s ability to regulate processor’s feedmill VOC production with minimal impact to wastewater generation.

However, in many clinical cases, treatment by cryosurgery has high recurrence rate, especially for tumors in some internal organs, such as liver. Most of these recurrent cases are caused by the low freezing efficiency, for example, it can’t destroy all the tumor cells especially the cells in the edge of the tumor or near the vascular network during conventional cryosurgery process. In view of this, Liu et al. proposed a new surgical strategy, “nano-cryosurgery”, to enhance freezing efficiency2.

Abstract Humic acids, one major type of organic foulants in steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) produced water, can precipitate on surface and downhole equipment in SAGD facilities, resulting in high cleaning costs, potential equipment damage and decrease of injectivity of disposal wells. In this paper, a cost-effective chemical solution is presented where an alcohol ethoxylate surfactant/chelating agent package can efficiently disperse the organic fouling molecules in SAGD produced water; therefore, the approach is expected to significantly mitigate the humic acid related fouling issues in the SAGD system. In this study, a variety of commercially available surfactant products were evaluated for their aids in well injectivity on humic acid molecules in the freshly obtained SAGD produced water. The lab testing filtration apparatus was specially designed to simulate the sandstone formation geology of SAGD disposal wells. An "efficiency factor" was defined to grade the dispersing performance of the surfactant and/or surfactant/chelating agent package in the lab filtration tests. The efficiency factor provides a reasonable estimation regarding how well the chemical can reduce the plugging risk in a disposal well as compared to the untreated produced water. Among all the surfactant products tested, an alcohol ethoxylate surfactant with the appropriate molecular structure shows distinguished dispersing performance on humic acids in SAGD produced water. However, the surfactant alone was found inconsistent in the dispersing performance when different batches of the produced water were involved. Inclusion of the specific metal chelating agents to the above surfactant formulation improved the dispersing performance consistency. The chelator molecules presumably help destroy the intermolecular bridges among humic acid molecules in the SAGD produced water; thereby, increasing the dispersing effectiveness of the alcohol ethyoxylate surfactants. Tests show that the efficiency factor of the surfactant/chelating agent package is higher than 8, which implies that the formulation could lead to eight times extension of the interval between workovers on SAGD disposal wells, a significant reduction for the operational downtime and costs. This study presented a cost-effective chemical solution to help disperse the humic acid molecules in SAGD produced water, which can help significantly reduce the fouling risk caused by organic foulants, improve injectivity and extend the intervals between workovers of SAGD disposal wells.

Full textAbstract:
Plutonium (239/240Pu) contamination in soils is an environmental concern at many U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) sites. Remediation actions have been attempted using different technologies, and clean-up plans have been implemented at several sites, such as the Nevada Test Site (NTS). During the 1950’s and early 1960’s, nuclear weapons testing at and near the NTS resulted in soil contaminated with plutonium particles. Clean-up efforts are continuing using conventional remediation techniques. However, the DOE desires to obtain technologies that can further reduce risks, reduce clean-up costs, and reduce the volume of contaminated soil for disposal. Low levels of plutonium contamination are distributed somewhat uniformly throughout the NTS soils and, as a result, it is difficult to obtain volume reductions above 70%. The subject of this research was to characterize the plutonium-contaminated soil from the Tonopah Test Range (TTR) north of the NTS. In order to select remediation methods, it is important to gain a better understanding of how plutonium is bound to the contaminated soil; thus, size separation, magnetic separation, and the sequential extraction (SE) methods were used for this purpose. The SE method consisted of targeting five operationally defined geochemical phases: ion exchangeable, bound to carbonates, bound to iron and manganese oxides (reducible), bound to organic matter, and resistant. Radiometric measurements were used to determine plutonium in each of these defined phases in the soil. Selected stable elements were also determined, to compare the operation of the SE method to other investigators. The SE experiments were performed with two types of samples: soil without heat treatment and soil with heat treatment. The MF treatment was used to destroy the organic content in the soil so as to further evaluate the SE procedure. Particle size analysis indicated that approximately 37% of the TTR soil by weight was larger than 300 micrometers and this fraction contained little plutonium, < 100 pCi/g. Thus, size separation may be useful as part of a remediation process. Magnetic separation tests showed that the magnetic fraction of the TTR soils is very small, and the non-magnetic fraction still contained the majority of the plutonium. Thus, a magnetic separation step in a treatment process would not be useful. Following SE, analysis results of the stable elements agreed with reported values. The SE results also indicated an association of plutonium with the organic and resistant defined phases. The main change in 239/240Pu distribution following heat treatment was an increase of plutonium recovery in the reducible phase. The SE results showed that fairly aggressive chemical treatment would be required if leaching were part of a remediation process.

Full textAbstract:
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and CH2M Hill Plateau Remediation Company (CHPRC) are seeking a waste treatment solution for sludge stored in the K-Basin spent fuel pond at the Hanford Nuclear Site, in Washington State, USA. This sludge is a Remote Handled Transuranic (RHTRU) waste destined for final disposal at the Waste Isolation Pilot Pant (WIPP) in New Mexico. Removal of the sludge from the K-Basin and transport for interim storage at the Hanford Site is referred to as Phase 1 in this process. Phase 2 is defined as the treatment and packaging of the sludge such that it can be transported and disposed at the WIPP. This paper discusses work in support of Phase 2. ISI’s GeoMelt ICV process is ideally suited to treating a heterogeneous sludge that is rich in uranium metal and which contains a mixture of other fuel derived products, earthen materials, and miscellaneous items (operational debris, resin, etc). GeoMelt can quickly and efficiently treat small drum load batches and will fully destroy organics, oxidize reactive metals, and permanently immobilize radioactive constituents within a high-integrity vitrified product that will meet or exceed all WIPP acceptance criteria. The GeoMelt Technology has an extensive experience base, having treated more waste by vitrification than any other company in the world (25,500 metric tons). The equipment tested for this Project phase constituted the front end, or Sludge Pretreatment and Transport steps, of the proposed GeoMelt process. These components first focused on an engineering scale (22-liter), followed by testing with a full-scale (130-liter), horizontal rotary plow dryer/mixer. The dryer removes water from the sludge, via external heating and under reduced pressure, and mixes it with glass forming minerals (GFM) prior to treatment in the GeoMelt ICV system. Testing was first performed in July and September 2010 using a 22-liter drying system, which demonstrated a baseline drying technique and allowed an assessment of the resulting physical properties before, during, and after drying/mixing. Full-scale testing using a 130-liter dryer and condensate system was then performed in October 2010. An Operational Acceptance Test (OAT) of the equipment, followed by four “Dryer Holdup” tests and three “GFM Cleanout” tests were performed. Each of the Project Test Objectives was successfully met. Both the 22-liter engineering-scale and the 130-liter full-scale steam jacketed, horizontal plow, dryer are shown to dry and mix 5-vol% solids K-Basin sludge and GFM without difficulty. These test results, combined with previous treatability testing in 2004 wherein successful GeoMelt vitrification of a K-Basin sludge simulant was demonstrated, confirm the efficacy of the overall treatment process towards providing an immediate solution to the final disposition of K Basin Sludge.

Full textAbstract:
In 2008, following the general French plan for nuclear waste management, Électricité de France attempted to find for irradiated graphite an alternative solution to direct storage at the low-activity long-life storage center in France managed by the national agency for wastes (ANDRA). EDF management requested that its engineering arm, EDF CIDEN, study the graphite treatment alternatives to direct storage. In mid-2008, this study revealed the potential advantage for EDF to use a steam reforming process known as THermal Organic Reduction, “THOR” (owned by Studsvik, Inc., USA), to treat or destroy the graphite matrix and limit the quantity of secondary waste to be stored. In late 2009, EDF began a test program with Studsvik to determine if the THOR steam reforming process could be used to destroy the graphite. The program also sought to determine if the graphite could be treated to release the bulk of activity while minimizing the gasification of the bulk mass of the graphite. In October 2009, tests with non-irradiated graphite were completed and demonstrated destruction of a graphite matrix by the THOR process at satisfactory rates. After gasifying the graphite, focus shifted to the effect of roasting graphite at high temperatures in inert gases with low concentrations of oxidizing gases to preferentially remove volatile radionuclides while minimizing the graphite mass loss to 5%. A radioactive graphite sleeve was imported from France to the US for these tests. Completed in April 2010, ‘Phase I’ of testing showed that the process removed >99% of H-3 and 46% of C-14 with <6% mass loss. Completed in September 2011, ‘Phase II’ testing achieved increased removals as high as 80% C-14. During Phase II, it was also discovered that roasting in a reducing atmosphere helped to limit the oxidation of the graphite. Future work seeks to explore the effects of reducing gases to limit the bulk oxidation of graphite. If the graphite could be decontaminated of long-lived radionuclides up to 95% for C-14 while minimizing mass loss to <5%, this would minimize the volume of any secondary waste streams and potentially lower the waste class of the larger bulk of graphite. Alternatively, if up to 95% decontamination of C-14 is achieved, the graphite may be completely gasified which could result in lower disposal volumes.

HEMARINA est une société de biotechnologie créée en 2007, qui développe un transporteur doxygène universel à partir de lhémoglobine M101 issue d’un annélide marin, Arenicola marina. Les caractéristiques de M101 sont déjà exploitées ou évaluées à des fins médicales par la société HEMARINA pour la préservation des organes dans les cas de transplantation (HEMO2life®, Thuillier et al, 2011, Teh et al, 2017 ; Mallet et al., 2014), en tant que pansement actif favorisant la cicatrisation et loxygénation de plaies hypoxiques (HEMHealing®, brevet international Ref.

Depuis 2018, HEMARINA a élargi son champ dapplication en souvrant au domaine dentaire. Les maladies parodontales en tant quinfections polymicrobiennes sont un danger pour la santé surtout chez les patients à risque. Elles sont impliquées dans la survenue ou laggravation des certaines situations pathologiques tels que les cardiopathies, les maladies respiratoires, le déséquilibre du diabète et les accouchements prématurés (Ide et al, 2011, Detert et al., 2010, Huck et al., 2011). Les parodontites sont un enjeu de santé publique et leur traitement vise non seulement à conserver les organes et implants dentaires fonctionnels, mais surtout à protéger lorganisme contre les pathologies générales associées (Fremont et al, 2008). HEMARINA développe HEMDental-Care, M101 formulé sous forme de gel, destiné à ê tre utilisé comme adjuvent aux traitements parodontaux pour ses propriétés antibactériennes. En plus d’un possible effet sur les dysbioses, M101 pourrait in vivo favoriser les processus de réparation des tissus (mous et durs) (HEMDental-Regenerativ). En effet, il a été démontré que lajout de M101 dans les milieux de culture favorise la croissance de lignées cellulaires in vitro (Le Pape et al., 2017 a) et favorise la recolonisation de greffons osseux allogéniques par les cellules souches mésenchymateuses ( Le Pape et al., 2017 b).

Full textAbstract:
Ireland has been called the Silicon Valley of Europe. Like the Silicon Valley in the U.S. it has a large amount of waste created by the Microchip Industry. Ireland is also an agricultural country. A large amount of bio-waste has been stockpiled in Ireland. This is the result of recent outbreaks/epidemics of animal diseases in the EU. The current growth industry of Ireland is the chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. Nine of the top ten pharmaceutical companies are manufacturing in Ireland. Wastes from these industries are often toxic and hazardous. They can contain large amounts of combustible organic compounds depending on their source. Since Ireland is an island it has special problems disposing of waste. Waste comes in as products as packaging and it doesn’t go out. The emerging solution is Incineration. Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) can contain many forms of metal and chemistry under normal conditions. When a large amount of the primary industry of a region is chemistry based and agricultural based there is the probability of more than usual amount of toxic residue in the refuse. The ash from incineration contains items such as dioxins & heavy metals that are environmental toxins. Using a Plasma Pyrolysis Vitrification (PPV) process the volume of the resultant ash from incineration can be further reduced by as much as 30 to 1. A PPV process has an added advantage of giving an incineration facility the capability of rendering ash safe for reuse as construction material and as a side benefit reclaiming many valuable elemental components of the ash. The PPV plant can be used to destroy waste directly and economically as long as the gate fees are high. One byproduct of incinerator ash smelting/destruction using a PPV process is CO gas, a combustible fuel resource for power generation. Precious metals may also be reclaimed as an alloy material by-product.
