Full textThe global decline of plants and pollinators highlights the need to better understand the structural and functional characteristics of pollination networks. Studies have shown that it is possible to detect plant-pollinator interactions by identifying pollen in insect pollen loads using DNA metabarcoding and thus gain a more complete picture of interactions at both the species (plant and pollinator) and individual levels. However, the potential of this technique to quantify interactions is still under discussion. We have addressed this issue in two experiments in the laboratory and in the wild, in a meadow, under natural conditions. We found highly significant relationships between the number of DNA sequences of a plant species and (1) the number of its pollen grains in an experimental solution with known pollen abundances or in the pollen load of insects that forage freely in the meadow or (2) the number of visits it received. We identified methodological and biological biases that may reduce the quality of the relationship and thus of the quantification of the interactions, some of which can be reduced. However, amplification at 30-35 PCR cycles allows a good quantification for a quantity of pollen comparable to that found in insect pollen loads. In a third experiment, we used metabarcoding to study the response of pollinators and plant-pollinator networks to abundance variations of a massively flowering plant, Rhododendron ferrugineum, an emblematic species of the subalpine stage of the Pyrenees and the Alps that is locally very abundant. We showed that (1) although this species is attractive it never monopolizes pollinators, which continue to visit the community's rare species even in the densest heathland, (2) pollinators tend to be more specialized, and network specialization tends to increase with the decrease in floral resources although not all insect groups respond in the same way, and (3) most populations of pollinators are generalist but mostly focus their activity on a limited number of plant species and individuals are highly specialized. These results allow a better understanding of pollination service efficiency within very generalized networks. In summary, this work has shown that metabarcoding allows: (1) to correctly identify plants from pollen present in pollinators pollen load and thus to better understand the diet and behaviour of individuals, (2) to quantify plant-pollinator interactions fairly precisely, including at the individual level, and thus (3) to build more realistic pollination networks than with traditional methods. We also showed the potential of this method to better understand the structure and functioning of pollination networks and their responses to global changes

Full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 121-135).
Intermolecular repulsion forces between negatively charged glycosaminoglycan (CS-GAG) macromolecules are a major determinant of cartilage biomechanical properties. It is thought that the electrostatic component of the total intermolecular interaction is responsible for 50-75% of the equilibrium elastic modulus of cartilage in compression, while other forces (e.g., steric, hydration, van der Waals, etc.) may also play a role. To investigate these forces, radiolabeled CS-GAG polymer chains were chemically end-grafted to a planar surface to form model biomimetic polyelectrolyte "brush" layers whose environment was varied to mimic physiological conditions. The total intersurface force (<[or equal to] nN) between the CS-GAG brushes and chemically modified probe tips (SO₃⁻ and OH) was measured as a function of tip-substrate separation distance in aqueous solution using the technique of high-resolution force spectroscopy (HRFS). These experiments showed long-range, nonlinear, purely repulsive forces that decreased in magnitude and range with increasing ionic strength and decreasing pH. In order to estimate the contribution of the electrostatic component to the total intersurface force, the data were compared to a theoretical model of electrical double layer repulsion based on the Poisson-Boltzmann formulation. The CS-GAG brush layer was approximated as either a flat surface charge density or a smoothed volume of known fixed charge density and the probe tip was modeled as a smooth hemisphere of constant surface charge density.
(cont.) To further closely mimic physiological condition of the cartilage, the CS-GAG molecules were successfully attached to the AFM probe tip using electric field. The CS-GAG modified tip was characterized by measuring force at various environments and its parking density was also estimated using newly developed molecular level model. The measured force between CS-GAG modified tip and CS-GAG modified substrate showed a long-range interaction that significantly dependent on the ionic strength and pH, indicating the significant role of Coulombic interaction between CS-GAG layers. The equilibrium brush height measured using ellipsometry showed that CS-GAG behaves as an annealed polyelectrolyte that reached its maximum brush height around 0.1 M salt concentration. The equilibrium brush height was compared with the onset of the force increase to obtain further insight on the CS-GAG brush behavior during the force measurement.

Full textThis thesis presents different alternatives to the problem of detecting and quantifying protein interactions in vivo using different approaches like: i) Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) applied to detect Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET), ii) Fluorescence Lifetime Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS), or iii) Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) coupled to-FLIM. A new methodological approach to analyze FRET-FLIM based on the study of the fraction of interacting donor (fɒ) is also presented. We introduce the new concept of a minimal fraction of donor molecules involved in FRET (mfɒ), coming from the mathematical minimization of fɒ. We find particular advantage in the use of mfɒ because it can be obtained without fitting procedures and is derived directly from FLIM data. We also propose a new FRET pair for quantitative analysis: mTFPl and Yellow Fluorescent Protein (YFP). This couple gives the highest fɒ values compared to the most commonly used Green Fluorescent Protein combined with a Red Acceptor (e. G. GFP-mCherry). We apply these new methodological developments to different biological examples: i) interaction between Amphiphysin 1 with N-WASp, ii) Rac activation and histone H4 acetylation. Finally we propose some interesting techniques to improve our results and the detection of protein interactions. The use of more powerful excitation sources, the combination of Total Internal Reflection Microscopy with Time-Gated FLIM using a continuum laser or the role of Super Resolution for protein interactions are some of them

Full textThe knowledge of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and turbidity dynamics in coastal waters is essential for studying marine ecosystems. Flocculation/deflocculation processes are crucial mechanisms controlling the dynamics of SPM physical characteristics and thus, the fate of these SPM in the environment. This PhD thesis focuses on the SPM characteristics and their dynamics in coastal waters, from tidal to annual scales, in response to hydrodynamic, hydrological and biological forcing that take place at the interface between estuaries and coastal seas. To this end, optical and acoustic sensors were deployed in situ through 6 field campaigns in 2016, in order to characterize and quantify SPM in the water column, near the mouth of the Seine estuary (France). A critical analysis of LISST-100X measurements in coastal waters is presented. The quantification of uncertainties on SPM concentration measurements is investigated: it highlights the crucial effect of salt retention, and the need for a minimum mass to filter, around 10 mg. A method for estimating an optimal filtration volume based on a reference turbidity measurement is proposed. High frequency measurements show that the dynamics of SPM and median diameter are controlled by the advection-flocculationsedimentation-resuspension cycle.These results allow to classify the factors controlling flocculation processes. Turbulence is identified as the main factor at the semi-diurnal and semi-lunar tidal scales, as the maximum median size of flocs decreases when the tidal currents intensify.At the seasonal scale, the variation of SPM characteristics (size, density, settling velocity) is correlated to the variability of the organic matter (OM) content: in particular, flocculation is enhanced by an increase of the particular OM fraction. The resulting larger and lesser dense flocs are also more resistant to the fragmentation induced by shear. This work also investigates the fractal approach applied to flocs. The fractal dimension variability, calculated by combining in situ data of SPM concentration and particle size distribution, can be associated to variations of the SPM composition, but can also result from uncertainties linked to instrument limitations. The latter are discussed in this PhD thesis. The seasonal variability of SPM characteristics is more pronounced offshore than at the mouth of the Seine estuary. From short-term observations in the Seine Bay and from long-term series in the Belgian coastal zone provided by the RBINS, optical turbidity and acoustic backscatter measurements are combined. They highlight an increase of the acoustic backscatter intensity when mean floc density

Full textWheelchairs compensate for motor dysfunctions, and transform bipedal locomotion to the seated position. The upper limbs become the locomotive limbs. This antiphysiological means of locomotion leads to various specific pathologies, which are mainly neurological and osteoarticular. The purpose of this thesis is to make a significant contribution in the field of biomechanics of wheelchair propulsion by developing tools. These theoretical and experimental tools are mechanical modelling of forces during wheelchair moving, an outdoor kinematics analyse system and an outdoor instrumented wheelchair, called CERAHFIT. We show that integrating rolling resistance parameter is essential to get realistic modelling. Our kinematics analyse system use standard video acquisition and a numerical manikin matched on user wheelchair’s pictures to reconstruct users’ movements in three dimensions. This system could be associated with CERAHFIT in order to adding measures of puschrim, footrest, seat and backrest forces and moments. The next step of this study will be acquisitions with disable persons in order to obtain unbiased arguments to assist the choices of wheelchair adjustments and to improve wheelchair conception

Full textGiven the current climate and anthropogenic evolutions, water management becomes one of the greatest challenges of the 21st Century. For that purpose, by identifying hydraulic continuity between surface and subsurface water, the concept of integrated water management can be introduced. In this work this management concept is applied on the Seine basin by quantizing hydrological processes occuring at the nested stream-aquifer interface. The implementatin of the nested interface concept can bedone through multi-scale modeling. This modelling procedure, aimed at embody the local characteristics of the interfaces (such as structural or hydrodynamic heterogeneities) in large scale models. A multi-scale modelling procedures is applied to the regional Seine basin model (70000 km²) in order, to study the hydrodynamic behaviour of the Bassée alluvial plain, and to quantify the stream-aquifer exchanged fluxes at the basin scale. The modelling protocol is initiated with regionals fluxes estimation over Seine hydrosystem. Regional fluxes consistency are assured by a two-step calibration procedure of fully coupled models. Then, the local characteristics of the Bassée alluvial plain, are implemented in the regional model by nested modelling methodology associated with upscaling procedure of hydraulics properties. Finally, the multi-scale modelling procedure lead to quantify distributed stream-aquifer exchanged water fluxes over 83% of the natural river network of the Seine basin, and thus, achieve to answer the integrated water resources management recommandations of the water framework directive

Full textCarbon storage is one of the most encouraging methods to decrease CO₂ concentration into the atmosphere. Carbon storage provides the longevity and the capacity needed to decrease CO₂ emissions toward the atmosphere. When dealing with storage on an industrial scale, carbonated reservoirs can be among the most suitable storage sites. However, these high depth injections are subject to leakage risks from the geologic trap itself or from the framework created by the establishment of the site. Two main types of leakage exist: brutal and diffusive leakage. In both cases, they are likely to endanger the environment and the population. Therefore, it is essential to develop tools that are able to anticipate any types of CO₂ leakage. Furthermore, it is also necessary to understand the reactive transport mechanism that take place when the leakage arrives in the shallow subsurface (vadose zone)and to see how the leakage can be buffered. This work deals with the characterization, the quantification and the modelling of transfer processes and CO₂-H₂O-CaCO₃ interactions into the vadose zone in a context of a leakage from a drilling well. This issue was first dealt through field experiment on the site of Saint Emilion. Then, the CO₂-H₂O-CaCO₃ interactions were studied through an experimental approach in laboratory. Two leakage experiments were performed on the site: a diffusive leakage and an ultra-diffusive leakage. They were performed as a sequel of former experiments carried on the pilot site. A comparison of all the leakage experiments revealed the necessity to use noble gases as precursor of the CO₂ arrival at the surface. Depending of the type of the leakage, helium can be a temporal precursor while krypton can anticipate the spread of the CO₂ gas plume. The higher the injection pressure, the more the gas migrates through advective flux. Moreover, a high injection pressure favors the existence of preferential paths in the vadose zone. The use of helium and carbon isotopes makes it possible to reveal the presence of a local aqueous phase within the porous media and to identify the origin of CO₂. The core scale experiments lead to the estimation of the buffering power of Oligocene limestone according to the rock facies. The permeability and the porosity influence the dissolution of the limestone. The reactivity of carbonates during a leakage depends on the pH of the aqueous phase, the flow rate that goes through the porous media, the water saturation and petrophysical characteristics of the carbonates

Full textGlobal warming is related to atmospheric greenhouse gas concentration increase and especially anthropogenic CO₂ emissions. Geologic sequestration has the potential capacity and the longevity to significantly diminish anthropogenic CO₂ emissions. This sequestration in deep geological formation induces leakage risks from the geological reservoir. Several leakage scenarios have been imagined. Since it could continue for a long period, inducing environmental issues and risks for human, the scenario of a diffusive leakage is the most worrying. Thus, monitoring tools and protocols are needed to set up a near-surface monitoring plan. The present thesis deals with this problematic. The aims are the characterisation, the quantification and the modelling of transport and interactions of CO₂ in a carbonate unsaturated zone. This was achieved following an experimental approach on a natural pilot site in Saint-Emilion (Gironde, France), where diffusive gas leakage experiments were set up in a carbonate unsaturated zone. Different aspects were investigated during the study: natural pilot site description and instrumentation; the physical and chemical characterisation of carbonate reservoir heterogeneity; the natural functioning of the carbonate unsaturated zone and especially the set-up of a CO₂ concentrations baseline; the characterisation of gas plume extension following induced diffusive leakage in the carbonate unsaturated zone and the study of gas-water-rock interactions during a CO₂ diffusive leakage in a carbonate unsaturated zone through numerical simulations. The results show the importance of the carbonate reservoir heterogeneity characterisation as well as the sampling and analysing methods for the different phases. The baseline set-up is of main interest since it allows discrimination between the induced and the natural CO₂ concentrations variations. The transfer of CO₂ in a carbonate unsaturated zone is varying in function of physical and chemical properties. This transfer is done by diffusion and/or advection. Because the detection of the noble gases allows the prediction of CO₂ plume arrival, the use of tracers in the sequestration site is of main importance. The chemical interactions have to be taken under account in transport models in order to predict delay factors and the impact of a CO₂ leakage in a carbonate unsaturated zone

Full textGroundwater/surface water interactions play a fundamental role in the functioning of aquatic ecosystems. However, their quantification is challenging because exchange processes vary both in time and space. Here, we propose an active distributed heat transport experiment in order to quantify the spatial and temporal variability of groundwater/surface water interactions. As a first step, we proposed a new approach to evaluate the spatial resolution of temperature measurements. Then, two interpretation methods of active-DTS experiments were developed and fully validated to estimate the distribution of porous media thermal conductivity and the groundwater fluxes in sediments. Based on numerical simulations and sandbox experiments, results demonstrated the potentiality of these methods for quantifying distributed groundwater fluxes with high accuracy. The large range of groundwater fluxes that can be investigated with the method makes specially promising the application of active experiments for many subsurface applications. Secondly, we conducted heat transport experiments within the streambed sediments of two different streams: in a first-order stream, then in a large flow-system located along an alluvial plain. These applications demonstrated the relevance of using active experiments to characterize the spatial complexity of stream exchanges. Finally, the comparison of results obtained for each experimental site allowed discussing the capabilities and limitations of using active-DTS field experiments to characterize groundwater/surface water interactions in different hydrological contexts

Full textThe present work is a collection of studies on lacustrine groundwater discharge (LGD) and groundwater-borne phosphorus (P) loads. For a number of reasons, groundwater exfiltration (i.e., LGD) is often not considered in water and nutrient budgets of lakes. This is also and especially true for P which was often regarded to be immobile in groundwater until recently. Two chapters review the scientific literature regarding the impacts of groundwater on hydrology and nutrient budgets of lakes, respectively. They present mechanisms and processes of LGD as well as techniques and methods to measure LGD and related nutrient transports. Moreover, numbers of LGD volumes and loads reported in literature are presented. The core of the present work is represented by two case studies dealing with the quantification of P loads from LGD to a lake in Germany. A combination of different methods is applied to overcome the problem of quantitative large scale LGD determination without losing local spatial information. P concentrations in groundwater and LGD are investigated by detailed spatial water sampling. The results reveal that P is actually present in concentrations far above natural background concentrations in the urban groundwater. LGD-derived P loads account for more than 50% of the overall external P loads to the lake and by that contribute significantly to lake eutrophication. Three further studies are devoted to the development and improvement of approaches to determine LGD. Critical reviews of the above mentioned studies reveal the need for further research in order to standardize and improve methods for LGD and mass load determination. It is found that the appropriate method for LGD determination depends on the spatial scale of interest. The identification of P introduced by LGD as a main driver of lake eutrophication is an important finding which should encourage scientists, policy makers, and lake managers to consider groundwater as a relevant P source for lakes.

Full textThe Space Exploration Strategy of the Agency requires an affordable and efficient approach to operating and controlling space systems. In the exploration programme an optimum approach to integrate human decision makers in orbit and on the ground must be found. In the proposed activity the next logical step is taken: a systematic analysis of existing experimental data and execution of new experiments to find the most efficient and affordable approach to human-robotic integrated technology and operations. In a first phase, existing experimental data from METERON, but also large datasets from non- space operations will be processed to provide a clear metric of operations performance with respect to quantitative parameters of communication link properties, robotic asset capabilities, level of automation, and operator environment. The second phase of the study will define and implement affordable ground-based experiments with robotic assets deployed in analogue environments and operators hosted in a simulation environment. The third and final phase of the activity will culminate in the drafting of three documents in addition to the PhD thesis: 1) Crew-training manual for operating human-robotic technology on ESA exploration missions 2) Guideline for assessing human performance for human-robotic operations in the frame of astronaut selection 3) Human-robotic technology assessment document

Full textÖvergången till förnybar energi och avregleringen av elmarknaden leder till förändrade produktions-och överföringsmönster. Dessa förändringar medför behov av en ökad överföringskapacitet. En begränsande faktor, som kan leda till ett underutnyttjande av stamnätet, är interareapendlingar. Dessa systemövergripande pendlingar involverar grupper av generatorer som svänger i förhållande till varandra. Interareapendlingar är ibland svåra att styra på grund av deras skala och komplexitet. I denna avhandling undersöker vi hur förbindelser med högspänd likström, engleska high-voltage direct current (HVDC), kan användas för att dämpa interareapendlingar. Avhandlingen har två huvudbidrag. I det första bidraget visar vi hur stabiliteten hos två olika synkrona nät kan förbättras genom att modulera den aktiva effekten hos en enda HVDC-länk. Ett bekymmer med aktiv effektmodulering är att växelverkan mellan interareapendlingar hos de två näten kan ha en negativ inverkan på systemets stabilitet. Genom att studera styrbarhetsgramianen visar vi att det alltid är möjligt att förbättra dämpningen i båda näten så länge som frekvenserna hos deras interareapendlingar inte ligger för nära varandra. För förenklade modeller visas det uttryckligen hur styrbarheten och därmed de möjliga dämpningsförbättringarna, försämras då frekvensskillnaden blir liten. Avhandlings andra bidrag visar hur koordinerad styrning av två (eller fler) länkar kan användas för att undvika växelverkan mellan besvärliga interareapendlingar. Vi undersöker prestandan hos olika typer av flervariabla regulatorer. I synnerhet undersökers styrsignalsanvändning samt robusthet mot mät-, kommunikations- och aktuatorfel.

Full textThe major advantage of position sensitive radiation detector systems lies in their ability to non invasively map the regional distribution of the emitted radiation in real-time. Three of such detector systems were studied in this thesis, gamma-cameras, positron cameras and CMOS image sensors. A number of physical factors associated to these detectors degrade the qualitative and quantitative properties of the obtained images. These blurring factors could be divided into two groups. The first group consists of the general degrading factors inherent to the physical interaction processes of radiation with matter, such as scatter and attenuation processes which are common to all three detectors The second group consists of specific factors inherent to the particular radiation detection properties of the used detector which have to be separately studied for each detector system. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was devoted to the development of computational methods to enable quantitative molecular imaging in PET, SPET and in vivo patient dosimetry with CMOS image sensors.
The first task was to develop a novel quantitative dual isotope method for simultaneous assessments of regional lung ventilation and perfusion using a SPET technique. This method included correction routines for photon scattering, non uniform attenuation at two different photon energies (140 and 392 keV) and organ outline. This quantitative method was validated both with phantom experiments and physiological studies on healthy subjects.
The second task was to develop and clinically apply a quantitative method for tumour to background activity uptake measurements using planar mammo-scintigraphy, with partial volume compensation.
The third stage was to produce several computational models to assess the spatial resolution limitations in PET from the positron range, the annihilation photon non-collineairy and the photon depth of interaction.
Finally, a quantitative image processing method for a CMOS image sensor for applications in ion beam therapy dosimetry was developed.
From the obtained phantom and physiological results it was concluded that the methodologies developed for the simultaneous measurement of the lung ventilation and perfusion and for the quantification of the tumour malignancy grade in breast carcinoma were both accurate. Further, the obtained models for the influence that the positron range in various human tissues, and the photon emission non-collinearity and depth of interaction have on PET image spatial resolution, could be used both to optimise future PET camera designs and spatial resolution recovery algorithms. Finally, it was shown that the proton fluence rate in a proton therapy beam could be monitored and visualised by using a simple and inexpensive CMOS image sensor.
