Full textThis project came up from the fact that we were able to identify that even though people who have a cat as a pet are increasing, their health products are still scarce. Based on certain experiments we found that these pets often get sick frequently developing behaviors (aggressiveness, anxiety, excitement, not using their litter box or nervousness) that usually worry their owner. Discovering that the main reason for these ills for cats is stress. It is that we have proposed in our product idea a drink that is mainly based on Nepeta Cataria or better known as mint for cats. This plant is attractive to the cat and relaxes it, producing an improvement in its behavior. Other positive effects we found are that it encourages cats to play, which makes them become more physically active while avoiding obesity. It also prevents the cat from hair loss or self-harm. Additionally, we include valerian so this plant can support the nervous system, adding more effectiveness to relax the cat. Also, valerian adds an anti-inflammatory intestinal effect that helps the cat to digest. Meaw Tea is going to focus on a specific segment, which is Metropolitan Lima, covering 5 districts: Miraflores, San Isidro, Jesús María, Surco and La Molina. These places are going to be the first to obtain our product for the health care of their cat.

Full textThis work focuses on the proposition of cancerous tumor segmentation strategies in a multimodal and multitemporal context. Multimodal scope refers to coupling PET/CT data in order to jointly exploit both information sources with the purpose of improving segmentation performance. Multitemporal scope refers to the use of images acquired at different dates, which limits a possible spatial correspondence between them.In a first method, a tree is used to process and extract information dedicated to feed a random walker segmentation. A set of region-based attributes is used to characterize tree nodes, filter the tree and then project data into the image space for building a vectorial image. A random walker guided by vectorial tree data on image lattice is used to label voxels for segmentation.The second method is geared toward multitemporality problem by changing voxel-to-voxel for node-to-node paradigm. A tree structure is thus applied to model two hierarchical graphs from PET and contrast-enhanced CT, respectively, and compare attribute distances between their nodes to match those assumed similar whereas discarding the others.In a third method, namely an extension of the first one, the tree is directly involved as the data-structure for algorithm application. A tree structure is built on the PET image, and CT data is then projected onto the tree as contextual information. A node stability algorithm is applied to detect and prune unstable attribute nodes. PET-based seeds are projected into the tree to assign node seed labels (tumor and background) and propagate them by hierarchy. The uncertain nodes, with region-based attributes as descriptors, are involved in a vectorial random walker method to complete tree labeling and build the segmentation

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Grey mould, caused by Botrytis cinerea, is the most important foliar disease of rooibos seedlings. Although the disease is primarily controlled with applications of fungicides, the improvement of cultural methods of disease management should lessen this dependence on chemical control. Such improvements would, however, not be possible without knowledge of the inoculum sources and dispersal of the pathogen. The aim of this study was to investigate the inoculum ecology of B. cinerea in rooibos nurseries in order to identify primary sources of inoculum and to improve the environmentally friendly management of the disease. The study was conducted in four nurseries over two production seasons (March to July 2003 and 2004). Levels of airborne inoculum of B. cinerea were monitored on a monthly basis inside and around the nurseries with spore traps. Samples of plant material and organic debris were taken in the corresponding areas to determine the incidence of plant material infected by the pathogen and the incidences of grey mould in the nurseries were recorded. Low numbers of B. cinerea colonies were observed on the spore traps. Similar levels of airborne inoculum were observed inside and around the nurseries. The incidence of plant material yielding B. cinerea was higher outside the nurseries than inside, indicating the importance of such materials as potential sources of inoculum. Since patterns of airborne inoculum observed in this study confirmed reports of the local dispersal of B. cinerea, the removal of possible hosts outside the nurseries could aid in the management of grey mould in rooibos nurseries. Resistance to dicarboximide fungicides is a genetically stable trait in B. cinerea, and therefore has the potential to be used as a phenotypic marker. This marker can be used to gain knowledge on the dispersal of B. cinerea inoculum inside and outside rooibos nurseries. Isolates of B. cinerea collected from the air and from plant material in and around four rooibos nurseries were assessed for resistance to iprodione at 1 and 3 μg/ml a.i. Some of the isolates showed resistance to iprodione at 1 μg/ml a.i. However, none of the isolates showed resistance at 3 μg/ml a.i. iprodione. The initial incidence of dicarboximide-resistance at the nurseries was slightly higher than expected. As the season progressed, the incidence of iprodione-resistant isolates decreased towards May, after which an increase was observed towards July. A relatively high percentage of isolates collected outside the nurseries was found to be dicarboximide-resistant. Two of the nurseries had a significant higher incidence of resistant isolates on plant material collected inside, than on plant material collected outside the nursery. However, when looking at resistance levels of airborne isolates, no significant differences were found in the incidence of resistant isolates sampled inside and outside the four nurseries. The data indicated the importance of organic debris and seed-borne infections in the survival and dispersal of dicarboximide-resistant isolates of the pathogen. With the current emphasis on organic agriculture the knowledge gained in this study presents valuable possibilities of improving the cultural management of grey mould in rooibos nurseries.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Vaalvrot, veroorsaak deur Botrytis cinerea, is die belangrikste bo-grondse siekte van rooibossaailinge. Alhoewel die beheer van die siekte hoofsaaklik op die gebruik van fungisiede berus, behoort die verbetering van verbouingspraktyke hierdie afhanklikheid van chemiese beheer te verminder. Sulke verbeteringe sal egter slegs moontlik wees indien voldoende kennis van die inokulumbronne en verspreiding van die patogeen beskikbaar is. Die doel van hierdie ondersoek was om die inokulum ekologie van B. cinerea in rooibos kwekerye te ondersoek sodat primêre inokulumbronne opgespoor en omgewingsvriendelike siektebestuurspraktyke verbeter kan word. Die ondersoek is in vier kwekerye oor twee produksie seisoene (Maart tot Julie 2003 en 2004) uitgevoer. Vlakke van luggedraagde inokulum van B. cinerea is op ’n maandelikse basis met behulp van spoorvangers binne en buite die kwekerye gemonitor. Monsters van plantmateriaal en organiese materiaal is in ooreenstemmende areas geneem om die voorkoms van B. cinerea geïnfekteerde plantmateriaal vas te stel en die voorkoms van vaalvrot in die kwekerye is aangeteken. Min B. cinerea kolonies is op die spoorvangers waargeneem. Soortgelyke vlakke van luggedraagde inokulum is binne en buite die kwekerye waargeneem. Die hoër voorkoms van B. cinerea geïnfekteerde plantmateriaal buite die kwekerye as binne, dui op die belang van sulke materiaal as potensiële inokulumbronne. Aangesien die patrone van luggedraagde inokulum, soos waargeneem in hierdie ondersoek, ander berigte van B. cinerea se beperkte verspreidingsvermoë bevestig, kan die verwydering van moontlike alternatiewe gashere buite die kwekerye die bestuur van die siekte binne die kwekerye verbeter. Weerstand teen dikarboksimied fungisiede is ’n geneties-stabiele kenmerk in B. cinerea en het daarom potensiaal om as ’n fenotipiese merker gebruik te word. Hierdie merker kan gebruik word om kennis aangaande die verspreiding van B. cinerea in en om rooibos kwekerye in te samel. Botrytis cinerea isolate in lug en op plantmateriaal in en om vier rooibos kwekerye is gedurende 2003 en 2004 versamel. Die isolate is vir weerstandbiedendheid teen iprodioon by konsentrasies van 1 en 3 μg/ml aktiewe bestandeel (a.b.) getoets. Isolate met weerstand teen 1 μg/ml a.b. iprodioon is waargeneem, maar nie teen 3 μg/ml nie. Die aanvanklike voorkoms van dikarboksimiedweerstand by die kwekerye was hoër as verwag. Hierdie vlak het egter gedaal met die verloop van die seisoen tot in Mei, waarna ’n toename tot in Julie waargeneem is. Die persentasie dikarboksimied-weerstandbiedende isolate buite die kwekerye was relatief hoog. In twee van die kwekerye was die voorkoms van weerstandbiedende isolate op plantmateriaal in die kwekerye betekenisvol hoër as op plantmateriaal buite die kwekerye. Daar was egter geen betekenisvolle verskille in die voorkoms van luggedraagde weerstandbiedende isolate nie, ongeag van die kwekery of posisie. Die data dui op die belang van organiese materiaal en saadgedraagde infeksies in die oorlewing en verspreiding van dikarboksimied-weerstandbiedende isolate van die patogeen. Met die huidige klem op organiese landbou bied die inligting wat in hierdie ondersoek versamel is moontlike praktyke wat geïmplementeer kan word om die beheer van vaalvrot in kwekerye met behulp van verbouingspraktyke te verbeter.

Full textAlzheimer's disease (AD) is becoming the dominant type of neurodegenerative brain disease in elderly people, which is incurable and irreversible for now. It is expected to diagnose its early stage, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), then interventions can be applied to delay the onset. Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is considered as a significant and effective modality to diagnose AD and the corresponding early phase since it can capture metabolic changes in the brain thereby indicating abnormal regions. Therefore, this thesis is devoted to identify AD from Normal Control (NC) and predict MCI conversion under FDG-PET modality. For this purpose, three independent novel methods are proposed. The first method focuses on developing connectivities among anatomical regions involved in FDG-PET images which are rarely addressed in previous methods. Such connectivities are represented by either similarities or graph measures among regions. Then combined with each region's properties, these features are fed into a designed ensemble classification framework to tackle problems of AD diagnosis and MCI conversion prediction. The second method investigates features to characterize FDG-PET images from the view of spatial gradients, which can link the commonly used features, voxel-wise and region-wise features. The spatial gradient is quantified by a 2D histogram of orientation and expressed in a multiscale manner. The results are given by integrating different scales of spatial gradients within different regions. The third method applies Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) techniques to three views of FDG-PET data, thereby designing the main multiview CNN architecture. Such an architecture can facilitate convolutional operations, from 3D to 2D, and meanwhile consider spatial relations, which is benefited from a novel mapping layer with cuboid convolution kernels. Then three views are combined and make a decision jointly. Experiments conducted on public dataset show that the three proposed methods can achieve significant performance and moreover, outperform most state-of-the-art approaches

Full textThanks to its ability to evaluate metabolic functions in tissues from the temporal evolution of a previously injected radiotracer, dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) has become an ubiquitous analysis tool to quantify biological processes. Several quantification techniques from the PET imaging literature require a previous estimation of global time-activity curves (TACs) (herein called \textit{factors}) representing the concentration of tracer in a reference tissue or blood over time. To this end, factor analysis has often appeared as an unsupervised learning solution for the extraction of factors and their respective fractions in each voxel. Inspired by the hyperspectral unmixing literature, this manuscript addresses two main drawbacks of general factor analysis techniques applied to dynamic PET. The first one is the assumption that the elementary response of each tissue to tracer distribution is spatially homogeneous. Even though this homogeneity assumption has proven its effectiveness in several factor analysis studies, it may not always provide a sufficient description of the underlying data, in particular when abnormalities are present. To tackle this limitation, the models herein proposed introduce an additional degree of freedom to the factors related to specific binding. To this end, a spatially-variant perturbation affects a nominal and common TAC representative of the high-uptake tissue. This variation is spatially indexed and constrained with a dictionary that is either previously learned or explicitly modelled with convolutional nonlinearities affecting non-specific binding tissues. The second drawback is related to the noise distribution in PET images. Even though the positron decay process can be described by a Poisson distribution, the actual noise in reconstructed PET images is not expected to be simply described by Poisson or Gaussian distributions. Therefore, we propose to consider a popular and quite general loss function, called the $\beta$-divergence, that is able to generalize conventional loss functions such as the least-square distance, Kullback-Leibler and Itakura-Saito divergences, respectively corresponding to Gaussian, Poisson and Gamma distributions. This loss function is applied to three factor analysis models in order to evaluate its impact on dynamic PET images with different reconstruction characteristics

Full textIntroduction: bariatric surgery stands out as the most effective method in the long-term treatment of obesity, leading to significant remission of diseases associated with overweight. However, the results of the surgery are not always long lasting. It is estimated that 20% to 30% of the people who undergo the bariatric surgery will regain weight after the first two years. Aim: to understand the experience of weight regain to people who were subjected to bariatric surgery. Method: qualitative research with a phenomenological approach, conducted in a public hospital of Sao Paulo. The sample was composed of 17 participants who presented weight regain after bariatric surgery. To collect the data, an open interview was used with the following guiding questions: How is it to you, to notice yourself gaining weight again? What do you believe is contributing to your weight gain? How do you deal with the weight regain? How do you see yourself in a few years, in relation to your body weight? The organization and analysis of the interviews were conducted following the steps recommended by scholars of the social phenomenology of Alfred Schütz. Results: the typical action experienced by people with weight regain after bariatric surgery showed up as one that: assigns the weight regain to an emotional instability that leads them to difficulties in the control of eating behaviour; states that stress, anxiety and loneliness contributes to weight regain; associates the recurrence of overweight to anatomical changes related to the surgery; expresses feelings of defeat, guilt and sadness; points out physical and mental consequences arising from the weight regain; fears gaining too much weight and losing control; report excessive alcohol consumption; has the expectation of controlling the weight gain in order to positively impact the quality of life, thus, requires multidisciplinary support for issues regarding weight regain; intend to undergo another bariatric surgery and a plastic surgery to improve self-esteem. Conclusions: the findings illustrate how the phenomenon of weight regain is complex in its bio-psycho-emotional aspects and requires an individualized and qualified attention, welcoming of the subjective issues experienced by those who were submitted to a bariatric surgery and are going through a situation of weight regain. It is believed that the discussion on this research reinforces the need of the healthcare teams to invest on a follow-up of bariatric patients, based on an intersubjective relationship that respects and considers the other, sharing decisions and contributing to the patients becoming active in the production of their health and partners in the success of reaching and maintaining their desired weight.

Full textIn this thesis we present the conception and performance studies of the foreseen Cherenkov whole-body positron emission scanner with time-of-flight potential (PECHE project). Our results and conclusions are based on the GATE simulation for following scanner configurations: lead fluoride crystal coupled with micro-channel-plate photomultiplier. This crystal is characterized by high density, transparency for photons in ultraviolet region, and one of the highest photoelectric fraction of about 46%. The chosen photomultiplier is fast, pixelized detector of a large size with a reasonable quantum efficiency, of 25% for 400 nm photon wavelength. Due to these properties, it is possible to create an efficient 511-keV gamma detector with a crystal thickness of the order of 10 mm(one interaction length) and hence minimize the length and dispersion of the photon trajectories, leading to better time resolution. We considered different configurations of the elementary detectors such as crystal thicknesses of 10 and 20 mm, the detector ring diameter of 80 and 90 cm, various options of the crystal coating (black, diffuse white and polished) and two optical interfaces (molecular bonding and conventional assembling with an optical gel). As an optimal configuration we chose a three-ring pet scanner with diameter of the ring 80 cm, 10 mm-thick crystal, protected with lead shielding. Molecular bonding gives better photo-collection if compare with configuration with optical gel. We estimated the potential of the foreseen scanner following the prescription of the NEMA NU 2-2012 standard. In particular, we evaluated the noise equivalent count rate (NECR), spatial resolution, image contrast recovery coefficients versus background variability for the NEMA image quality phantom. Reconstruction of images is done using iterative TOF algorithm implemented in the recently developed open source reconstruction platform CASToR. We concluded that due to an excellent TOF resolution a crystal-based Cherenkov whole-body scanner could achieve performances comparable with a conventional, scintillation-based tomograph. The use of the Cherenkov radiation allows to achieve even much better TOF resolution, but currently it is limited by the transit time spread of the existing photomultipliers, a low number of the detected optical photons, and a limited photon collection efficiency in a crystal. Limitations identified in this study will be addressed in the future development of the improved photodetector using the PbWO₄ radiator, which allows to conceive a whole-body PET scanner with an excellent TOF performance

Full textRespiratory-induced organ motion is a technical challenge to nuclear imaging and to charged particle therapy dose calculations for lung cancer treatment in particular. Internal organ tissue displacements and deformations induced by breathing need to be taken into account when calculating Monte Carlo dose distributions as well as when performing tomographic reconstructions for PET imaging. Current techniques based on Deformable Image Registration (DIR) cannot fully take into account the density variations of the tissues nor the fact that respiratory motion is not reproducible. As part of the ENVISION (2010-2014) European project, in collaboration with the CAS-PHABIO team from IPNL (the Nuclear Physics Institute from Lyon), this PhD project presents a methodological contribution to physical dose calculations and PET-based treatment verification for hadron therapy in the case of moving tumours. Contrary to DIR-based methods where motion is described by relative voxel displacement, each organ is represented as a deformable grid of tetrahedra where internal motion is described by mesh vertex transformations calculated using continuum mechanics. First, this PhD project proposes a new method to calculate four dimensional dose distribution over tetrahedral meshes, which are deformed using biomechanical modeling based on Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The second part of the PhD is focused on motion compensation for PET image reconstruction using deformable tetrahedral meshes

In chapter I we provide a literature overview where we establish that the 18F-FDG uptake is correlated with the spermatogenesis because of the presence of GLUT 3 transporters on the Sertoli cells and the spermatides and not on the Leydig cells which are responsible for the steroidogenesis. We then provide an overview of the public health problem of male infertility where we point out different possible clinical applications for testicular functional imaging. In chapter II we examine the significant correlation between 18F-FDG uptake in terms of intensity and volume of uptake and the testicular function via the parameters of the sperm analysis. In chapter III, we focus on the standardisation of the acquisition protocol for this specific indication, after a brief technical overview of the PET/CT and of its limitations. Because the first study was done via a manually delineated testicular volume, we re-analysed the correlation with a solid and reproducible adaptive volume segmentation method in a second article. We further focussed on optimising the acquisition protocol by evaluating the impact of the intense urinary activity on the testicular uptake. First we examined this impact with phantom studies where we simulated the bladder and the testes. We proceeded with a clinical study where we aimed to evaluate and compare 2 diuretic protocols. In chapter IV we address the overall important subject, and even more so in this andrological context, of the radioprotection related issues of a PET/CT with 18F-FDG. Finally, in chapter V we provide an overview of some of the issues still to be addressed and the future perspectives for this new direction in the field of nuclear medicine that we could name 'nuclear andrology'

Full textDeux axes structurent ce travail : les « corps de la peste » elle-même comme identification à la mort et allégorie du mal ; les corps pestiférés figurés. L'étude s'attache à l'imaginaire du mal, de la mort et du sort, à la symbolique et à la réalité épidémiques. La peste a valeur d'un paradigme anthropologique en Occident, celui de la confrontation des populations au mal par le biais de l'épidémie, schème où se joue le vécu corporel, la confrontation à l'irréversible, la mort, l'autre / les autres, l'irrationnel et la faute : autant de figures de l'altérité. Les expressions de l'atteinte et des crises sociales liées aux épidémies, celle de la commensurabilité mal / maladie et de leurs correspondances forment un noyau invariant mais complexe de significations. Il atteste en nous alors que les pestes ont disparu en Occident une sorte de présence de l'inactuel, par la médiation du corps et la matérialité de la chair atteinte.

Full textThe main purpose of this examination paper has been to do a review of recent scientific and evaluated studies performed on children 0-15 years of age, treated with an animal as an assistant to the therapist/professional. The key term is Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT). Our focus has been to describe in what fields these kinds of studies have been performed, what the results are and how effective they have been. As a supplement to our study we have performed 8 short telephone interviews with professionals in the same field of occupation corresponding to the studies we have summarized. Our results concerning the studies show that there has been a positive outcome in the treatment of children and adolescents and AAT. This agegroup show an increase in for example; social skills, communication and maintaining focus. The results in our interviews show that there is poor knowledge in the research done in the area of AAT, that AAT is not used in these areas in Stockholm though the interest in the method seems large. As theoretical frameworks we have used the biophilia hypothesis and Winnicotts theory of the transition object.

Full textThe evolution of the poly(ethylene terephthalate) microstructure was studied during uni-axial stretching as well as during stretch-blow moulding. Drawing was made between glass transition and cold crystallisation temperatures (i. E. Between 90 °C and 115 °C). PET was quenched orannealed at the end of drawing. The evolution of the strain-induced microstructure and its texture was investigated by X-Ray diffraction (WAXS and SAXS). The strain-induced amorphous phase was also studied by dynamic mechanical and thermal analysis (DMTA). Whatever the kind of samples (thin or thick samples as well as preforms), the kind of drawing or the experimental conditions used (i. E. Temperatures and strain-rates) are, strain-induced crystallisation do not lead to perfect crystalline microstructure in case of applying rapid quenching at the end of stretching. This means that the microstructure observed at the end of drawing is highly influenced by the post-cooling stage. Strain hardening is related to nucleation step rather to crystallisation of perfect crystal. The amorphous phase is, for its part, very constrained during drawing, showing an increasing alpha transition and better ability to crystallize during DMTA measurements. Free stretch-blow moulding tests have shown how the blown hollow parts are heterogeneous in term of microstructure, morphology and polymer chain orientation along a bottle and within the panel thickness. This observation partly explains why it is difficult to relate the end-used mechanical properties to the strain-induced microstructure. Comparative studies of free and industrial stretch-blow moulding demonstrate that the mould could impact the kinematics of blowing. As a consequence, the mould could severely impact the final induced microstructures and properties

Full textMelanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer with a poor prognosis for patients with metastatic disease. Our project deals with a multimodal approach, using a single fluorinated and iodinated melanintargeting compound, and offering both imaging (PET/18F) and therapeutic (targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT)/131I) applications, depending on the radioisotope introduced. Furthermore, using PET imaging, our strategy allows a selection of TRT-responded patients (i.e. bearing pigmented metastases) as well as a monitoring of treatment response. In previous works, the iodinated quinoxaline-carboxamide compound ICF01012 was evaluated in a TRT protocol, using melanoma-bearing mice models. It demonstrated efficacy, with significant inhibition of tumoural growth and improvement of the median survival. Based on these results, iodinated and fluorinated analogs of ICF01012 were synthesized, for multimodality purposes. All new compounds were then radiolabelled with iodine-125 and fluorine-18 (fully automated radiosyntheses), with good radiochemical yields and excellent radiochemical purities. For pharmacokinetic profile studies on melanoma-bearing mice, [125I]radiotracers were evaluated by γ-scintigraphy and [18F]radiotracers by PET. Compound 4 emerged as the lead tracer, with a specific and long-lasting tumoural uptake and a fast clearance from non-specific tissues, leading to highly contrasted images. The tracer 4 was then radiolabelled with iodine-131, with excellent radiochemical yield and purity, to perform a TRT assay on the same melanoma model. Treatment with [131I]4 significantly inhibited tumoural growth and lung metastasis occurrence. Moreover, it significantly improved the median survival. As tracer 4 demonstrated promising results in PET imaging and TRT of melanoma, its metabolism was investigated with [125I]4 and [18F]4: radiotracers were found unchanged in melanin-containing tissues (tumour and eyes), while a fast breakdown was observed in excretion organs and fluids (four metabolites were identified). In conclusion, in terms of chemistry, radiochemistry, in vitro and in vivo stability, PET imaging and TRT, compound 4 validated our multimodality concept. We also developed the first bimodal fluorinated and iodinated prosthetic group, the 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl 4-fluoro-3-iodobenzoate (108), as a suitable acylating agent for the labelling of a large variety of compounds. In this approach, this new compound allows applications in diagnosis (PET imaging/18F) and therapy (TRT/131I). Compound 108 and its corresponding precursors for radiolabelling were synthesized in very few steps, with good yields. [125I]108 was then prepared in one-step starting from a perfluorostannane precursor, and purified by F-SPE cartridge to avoid time-consuming HPLC. As for [18F]108, it was produced by a fully automated three steps, two-pots radiosynthesis process. [125I]108 and [18F]108 were both obtained in a short time, with excellent radiochemical yields and purities. These prosthetic groups were then successfully used to radiolabel small organic ligand N,N-diethylethylenediamine and peptides NDP-MSH and PEG3[c(RGDyK)]2, in mild conditions, with good yields. In conclusion, we demonstrated that compound 108 could be a promising acylating bimodal prosthetic group for radiofluorination and radioiodination of small organic molecules, peptides, proteins, antibodies as well as nanoparticles

Full textLa modélisation de la diffusion et de la migration ont permis de prédire ce temps de latence et donc, la période pendant laquelle l'emballage sera sûr. L'analyse numérique autorise une modélisation complète de tous les phénomènes de transports dans les polymères :
- diffusion au travers de la barrière fonctionnelle pendant la mise en œuvre des préformes en PET : le coefficient de diffusion est fonction de la température locale qui dépend du temps et de sa position dans l'épaisseur de la préforme (la diffusion de la température et de la matière sont calculées à partir des lois de Fourier et de Fick). Des paramètres cinétiques aux interfaces sont pris en compte dans les calculs.
- diffusion / migration des substances modèles au cours du contact avec l'aliment : le coefficient de diffusion des substances modèles est fonction de la concentration locale de l'aliment dans le polymère.
Les simulations sont comparées à des cas expérimentaux, incluant tous les types de contact possibles avec l'aliment, pour déterminer des diffusivités modèles. Pour cela, une liste de substances modèles couvrant la plupart des propriétés des substances chimiques (volatilité, polarité, solubilité dans l'eau, ... ) a été établie. Les diffusivités obtenues nous ont permis d'extrapoler et de surestimer les cinétiques de migration, quelle que soit la masse moléculaire des polluants potentiels, pour un contact direct avec l'aliment (bouteille monocouches et pour une migration au travers d'une barrière fonctionnelle (en PET ou dépôt plasma). Ces résultats participeront à l'élaboration de la législation européenne pour l'utilisation de PET recyclé en contact alimentaire.
