Pełny tekst źródłaLa présente thèse de doctorat par articles se concentre sur des approches alternatives permettant d'évaluer la plus-value des nouveaux tests, avec et sans norme de référence. Dans le premier article, nous avons effectué une analyse secondaire des données issues d'une étude sur 528 enfants évalués pour la tuberculose (TB) à Cape Town, en Afrique du Sud. En utilisant la culture pour la TB comme norme de référence, nous avons mesuré la plus-value du IGRA (interferon-gamma release assay) au-delà des données démographiques, signes cliniques et tests traditionnels de TB en examinant la surface sous la courbe caractéristique de la performance du test (courbe ROC) ainsi que deux mesures basées sur la probabilité de risques élaborées récemment : amélioration de la reclassification nette (NRI ou net reclassification improvement) et amélioration de la discrimination intégrée (IDI ou integrated discrimination improvement). Toutes nos analyses ont démontré que le IGRA n'apportait aucune plus-value aux données cliniques et tests traditionnels pour le diagnostic de la TB active chez les enfants hospitalisés avec résultats de frottis négatifs. Les analyses multivariables ont fourni une approche utile pour l'évaluation de la valeur ajoutée du nouveau test dans l'algorithme diagnostique, plutôt qu'en tant qu'outil isolé.Dans le deuxième article, nous avons développé une méthodologie d'estimation de la plus-value d'un test lorsqu'une norme de référence n'existait pas et que le statut d'une infection était inconnu, comme dans le cas de la tuberculose latente (LTBI ou latent TB infection). En utilisant une approche bayésienne pour l'estimation d'un modèle de classe latent, nous avons validé nos méthodes proposées dans une série de simulations, pour ensuite appliquer ces méthodes pour calculer la surface sous la courbe ROC, le NRI et le IDI pour évaluer la plus-value du IGRA par rapport au test cutané à la tuberculine (TST ou tuberculin skin test) pour le diagnostic de la LTBI dans différents contextes. Nous avons démontré que la magnitude de la surface sous la courbe ROC et du IDI se comportaient tel qu'attendu lorsque les mesures réelles de fiabilité diagnostique du nouveau test étaient modifiées à l'aide de données simulées. De plus, nous avons démontré que la plus-value du nouveau test diminuait lorsque la dépendance conditionnelle entre le nouveau test et le test traditionnel était prise en considération.Finalement, le troisième article était principalement une étude par collecte de données à l'Hôpital de Montréal pour enfants, où l'implantation du IGRA pour les enfants présentant des indications cliniques spécifiques a récemment commencé. L'objectif de cette étude était d'évaluer l'impact du IGRA sur la gestion du traitement clinique en demandant aux pneumologues pédiatriques de documenter comment les résultats du IGRA changeaient, ou non, leur diagnostic initial et décisions de traitement clinique basés sur les résultats du TST et autres données dans des sous-groupes pertinents. Notre étude de 399 enfants a démontré que les pneumologues pédiatriques utilisaient des résultats négatifs de IGRA pour décider de ne pas prescrire de thérapie préventive d'isoniazide chez la plupart des enfants à faible risque, référés suite à un TST positif obtenu à travers des programmes de dépistage ciblés. À l'inverse, pour la plupart des enfants avec un TST positif évalués suite à un contact à la TB, un résultat négatif de IGRA ne modifiait pas la gestion du traitement clinique.

Pełny tekst źródłaThis work investigates how the development of software product lines can benefit from the use of aspect-oriented programming to reduce coupling and increase cohesion of the product line features. As a result of this investigation, an approach to the incremental development of software product lines based on aspects is proposed. The phases, activities, and artifacts of this approach are presented. As it is an incremental approach, the amount of work needed in the beginning of the product line development is reduced. This is accomplished thanks to the use of aspects. This way, the advantages of product lines are obtained, attenuating, at the same time, the risk of the high initial investment not having the expected return. The approach has been proposed based on established practices of software product lines development and on the study of the actual practices for aspect-oriented analysis and design. Emphasis has been given to the Theme Approach, which is used in this work as part of the analysis and design tools. The proposed approach specifies practices from the domain analysis up to the implementation. Aspects are treated since the early development stages. Aspect-oriented implementation techniques are proposed. A case study using Java and AspectJ languages is presented to illustrate the proposed ideas

Pełny tekst źródłaThis work proposes IGMN (standing for Incremental Gaussian Mixture Network), a new connectionist approach for incremental function approximation and real time tasks. It is inspired on recent theories about the brain, specially the Memory-Prediction Framework and the Constructivist Artificial Intelligence, which endows it with some unique features that are not present in most ANN models such as MLP, RBF and GRNN. Moreover, IGMN is based on strong statistical principles (Gaussian mixture models) and asymptotically converges to the optimal regression surface as more training data arrive. The main advantages of IGMN over other ANN models are: (i) IGMN learns incrementally using a single scan over the training data (each training pattern can be immediately used and discarded); (ii) it can produce reasonable estimates based on few training data; (iii) the learning process can proceed perpetually as new training data arrive (there is no separate phases for leaning and recalling); (iv) IGMN can handle the stability-plasticity dilemma and does not suffer from catastrophic interference; (v) the neural network topology is defined automatically and incrementally (new units added whenever is necessary); (vi) IGMN is not sensible to initialization conditions (in fact there is no random initialization/ decision in IGMN); (vii) the same neural network can be used to solve both forward and inverse problems (the information flow is bidirectional) even in regions where the target data are multi-valued; and (viii) IGMN can provide the confidence levels of its estimates. Another relevant contribution of this thesis is the use of IGMN in some important state-of-the-art machine learning and robotic tasks such as model identification, incremental concept formation, reinforcement learning, robotic mapping and time series prediction. In fact, the efficiency of IGMN and its representational power expand the set of potential tasks in which the neural networks can be applied, thus opening new research directions in which important contributions can be made. Through several experiments using the proposed model it is demonstrated that IGMN is also robust to overfitting, does not require fine-tunning of its configuration parameters and has a very good computational performance, thus allowing its use in real time control applications. Therefore, IGMN is a very useful machine learning tool for incremental function approximation and on-line prediction.

Pełny tekst źródłaIncremental sheet forming processes like single point incremental forming have been majorly studied since the beginning of the 2000's. Besides the applications in the prototyping eld, ISF processes can also be used to the manufacture of unique parts and small batches. This possibility has a great potential for speed up new product development and to make products in smaller series economically viable. Also, this capability leads to a new business possibilities, enable the development of exclusive or custom products. However, mainly due to its novelty, SPIF industrial operation is still very apprehensive with just a few examples of application. The main purpose of the present work is to create tools that can be used for the SPIF process management and present examples of usage in di erent industrial elds. The SPIF process is studied using the SPIF-A machine design and built at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Aveiro. Despite being a free form manufacture process, SPIF has some geometric limitations, manly due to the forming mechanics and formability limit of the materials. The possible part con gurations and the design orientation are settled, allowing a suitable part development. The hardware to perform incremental forming operations is outlined and the forming process is described, presenting alternative solutions both based on experimental work and state of the art review. A group of parts are developed and manufactured using SPIF as examples of industrial application. Parts are developed and evaluated to meet design and development requirements. New applications using SPIF as a rapid tooling process, typically exclusive form additive manufacturing technologies, are developed. The parity between SPIF and AM processes encounter industrial applications not only in prototyping or part manufacturing but also in tool development and fabrication. This novelty allows to decrease the time to market, decrease tooling cost and increase tooling complexity and consequential part design freedom in sheet metal moulds. The concept is developed and proof for a variety of thermoplastic and composite materials processing technologies.

Aplicações ubíquas estão inseridas em ambientes inteligentes integrados ao mundo físico e compostos de usuários com diferentes preferências, dispositivos heterogêneos e vários provedores de serviço e conteúdo. Além disso, essas aplicações são especializadas em oferecer serviços e conteúdos em qualquer lugar e momento, auxiliando os usuários em suas atividades diárias sem incomodá-los. Baseado nesse mundo idealizado, o paradigma em qualquer lugar e momento impõe alguns desafios para a comunidade de Engenharia de Software, tais como: heterogeneidade de dispositivos, ambientes distribuídos, mobilidade, satisfação de usuário, adaptação de conteúdo, sensibilidade de contexto, privacidade, personalização, transparência, invisibilidade e constante evolução das tendências tecnológicas. Visando lidar com esses novos desafios tecnológicos, é proposta uma abordagem orientada à reutilização de software para desenvolvimento incremental e sistemático de aplicações ubíquas intencionais. Foram escolhidos dois principais objetivos para conduzir a pesquisa dessa tese: (i) a construção de conjuntos de apoio, orientados à reutilização de software, com base em uma investigação detalhada de aplicações ubíquas e do paradigma de Sistemas Multi-Agentes Intencionais – ou seja, Desenvolvimento para Reutilização; e (ii) o desenvolvimento incremental e sistemático de aplicações ubíquas, dirigidas por Sistemas Multi-Agentes Intencionais, com base na abordagem orientada à reutilização de software – ou seja, Desenvolvimento com Reutilização. Algumas contribuições do nosso trabalho são: (i) uma arquitetura orientada à reutilização de software e baseada nos conjuntos de apoio – i.e. blocos de construção principalmente compostos de modelos conceituais, frameworks, padrões e bibliotecas – obtidos a partir da Engenharia de Domínio das Aplicações Ubíquas; (ii) uma Engenharia de Aplicações Ubíquas orientada à reutilização de software visando o desenvolvimento incremental e sistemático de aplicações ubíquas com base nos blocos de construção propostos; (iii) um modelo de raciocínio focado em regras condicionais de lógica nebulosa e no modelo Crença-Desejo-Intenção para melhorar a capacidade cognitiva dos agentes; (iv) um mecanismo específico, baseado em agentes intencionais, para lidar com questões de privacidade, balanceando privacidade e personalização bem como transparência e invisibilidade; (v) um catálogo que graficamente apresenta os principais requisitos não-funcionais ubíquos, as interdependências entre eles e formas de se operacionalizá-los com base na combinação de tecnologias tradicionais e emergentes; (vi) ontologias para permitir a construção dinâmica de interfaces e melhorar a comunicação e inter-operabilidade dos agentes de software; e (vii) um modelo de banco de dados dinâmico para carregar e recuperar os perfis ubíquos (ex. perfis de usuário, dispositivo, rede e contrato), melhorando o gerenciamento de dados em tempo de execução. A abordagem proposta foi avaliada desenvolvendo diferentes aplicações ubíquas (ex. aplicações ubíquas de comércio eletrônico e de clínica odontológica).
Ubiquitous applications are embedded in intelligent environments integrated into the physical world and composed of users with different preferences, heterogeneous devices and several content and service providers. Moreover, they focus on offering services and contents anywhere and at any time by assisting the users in their daily activities without disturbing them. Based on this idealized world, the anywhere and at any time paradigm poses some challenges for the Software Engineering community, such as: device heterogeneity, distributed environments, mobility, user satisfaction, content adaptability, context awareness, privacy, personalization, transparency, invisibility and constant evolution of technological trends. In order to deal with these new technological challenges, we propose a Reuse-Oriented Approach for Incremental and Systematic Development of Intentional Ubiquitous Applications. We have chosen two main goals that drive our research in this thesis: (i) the construction of reuse-oriented support sets based on an extensive investigation of ubiquitous applications and the Intentional-Multi-Agent Systems paradigm – i.e. Development for Reuse; and (ii) the incremental and systematic development of Intentional-Multi-Agent-Systems-driven ubiquitous applications based on the reuse-oriented approach – i.e. Development with Reuse. Some contributions of our work are: (i) a reuse-oriented architecture centered on support sets – i.e. building blocks mainly composed of conceptual models, frameworks, patterns and libraries – obtained from the Domain Engineering of Ubiquitous Applications; (ii) a reuse-oriented Ubiquitous Application Engineering for incremental and systematic development of intentional ubiquitous applications centered on the proposed building blocks; (iii) a reasoning engine focused on fuzzy conditional rules and the Belief-Desire-Intention model to improve the agents cognitive capacity; (iv) a specific mechanism based on intentional agents to deal with privacy issues by balancing privacy and personalization as well as transparency and invisibility; (v) a catalogue that graphically presents the main ubiquitous non-functionalrequirements, their interdependencies and ways to operationalize them based on the combination of traditional and emergent technologies; (vi) ontologies to allow the dynamic construction of interfaces and to improve the communication and inter-operability of software agents; and (vii) a dynamic database model to store and retrieve the ubiquitous profiles (e.g. user, device, network and contract profiles) by improving the data management on the fly. The proposed approach was evaluated by developing different ubiquitous applications (e.g. e-commerce and dental clinic ubiquitous applications).

This thesis addresses the question of how to optimize a distribution network when the supply chain has undergone an incremental change. A case study is presented for Company A, a major global biotechnology company that recently acquired a new manufacturing facility in Ireland. Company A already has international operations throughout Europe and the rest of the world through its network of 3rd party logistics providers, wholesalers, and distributors, as well as its own Benelux-based international distribution center. It now seeks to optimize its current network by taking into consideration the possibility of distributing product directly out of Ireland and by potentially outsourcing some of the distribution currently sourced from its Benelux facility. The thesis uses a phased approach to optimizing the network in order to tackle the common enterprise challenges of 1) building consensus around the solution and 2) simultaneously learning about the problem while attempting to solve it in order to meet a compressed project schedule. Through a number of simplifications, the thesis reduces the problem scope to a level that both enables the use of this phased approach and provides for a less-complex and less time-intense analysis manageable within the given time frame. The unique characteristics of the biotechnology industry drive the analysis to closely study direct effects of and potential risks to availability and lead-time of the various distribution options while trading off distribution, packaging, inventory, and capital expenditure costs. The recommendations resulting from the analysis described in this thesis are used to inform Company A's future distribution strategy regarding additional warehousing capacities, the continued use of the Benelux facility, as well as potential strategic partnerships with 3rd party logistics service providers.

Pełny tekst źródłaThis study is devoted to the micromechanical modeling of viscoelastic composites using an incremental approach (IA) due to Lahellec and Suquet (2007). ln addition to be based on a rigorous thermodynamic framework, the IA allows solving the heterogeneous viscoelastic problem in the real time domain (i.e. without the Laplace transform). The first aim is to extend the IA application range in terms of local linear viscoelastic laws and microstructures. The second one is to attempt to introduce the coupling effects between the viscoelasticity and the temperature within the IA framework. First, the IA is coded in Python• and the program validated for simple viscoelastic laws, and for microstructures and loading paths already studied in Lahellec and Suquet (2007). The second part focuses on a theoretical generalization of the IA for many internal variables which are not necessarily deviatoric and for anisotropie phases. The resulting estlmates are progressively validated by confrontation to reference so lutions (full -field simulations) and especially the IA ability to deal with matrices described by generalized Maxwell laws (without and with volumetric anelastic strains). This part ends with a demonstration of the possible association of the IA with three linear homogenization schemes (Mori-Tanaka, Lielen's interpolation, scheme of Malekmohammadi et al. (2014)) in order to deal with various morphologies (fiber or part icle reinforced composites, wood strand-based composites). The last part focuses on the coupling between the viscoelasticity and the temperature within the IA framework. The initial and time discretized versions of the strongly coupled local problem are formulated. Then, increasing coupling levels are envisioned for a progressive approach of the solving procedure. The thermoelastic coupling, alone, is first studied (effect of the thermies on mechanics, without solving the heat equation). The resulting estimates for a periodic microstructure with elastic, thermoelastic then thermoviscoelastic fibers, in a thermoviscoelastic matrix are successfully compared to reference solutions. At last, the heat equation is simultaneously solved by taklng into account the viscoelastic dissipation within the matrix as a source term, in addition to the thermoelastic coupling term. The evolutions of the global temperature and response reveal relevant tendencies

Identificar espécies de algas da família Selenastraceae é uma tarefa complexa devido às inconsistências existentes em sua taxonomia, reconhecida como problemática. Os biólogos analisam manualmente imagens de microscópio de cepas de algas e realizam diversos procedimentos demorados que necessitamde conhecimento sólido. Tais limitaçõesmotivaramo estudo da aplicabilidade de técnicas de processamento de imagens, reconhecimento de padrões e mineração visual de dados para apoiar os biólogos em tarefas de identificação de espécies de algas. Esta tese descreve metodologias computacionais para a classificação de imagens de algas verdes, nas abordagens tradicional e baseada em classificação visual incremental com participação do usuário. Nesta última, os usuários interagem com visualizações baseadas em árvores filogenéticas para utilizar seu conhecimento no processo de classificação, como por exemplo, na seleção de instâncias relevantes para o conjunto de treinamento de um classificador, como também na avaliação dos resultados. De forma a viabilizar o uso de classificadores e técnicas de visualização, vetores de características devem ser obtidos das imagens de algas verdes. Neste trabalho, utiliza-se extração de características de forma, uma vez que a taxonomia da família Selenastraceae considera primordialmente as características morfológicas na identificação das espécies. No entanto, a obtenção de características representativas requer que as algas sejam precisamente segmentadas das imagens. Esta é, de fato, uma tarefa altamente desafiadora considerando a baixa qualidade das imagens e a maneira pelas quais as algas se organizam nas imagens. Duas metodologias de segmentação foram introduzidas: uma baseada no método Level Set e outra baseada no algoritmo de crescimento de regiões. A primeira se mostrou robusta e consegue identificar com alta precisão as algas nas imagens, mas seu tempo de execução é alto. A outra apresenta maior precisão e é mais rápida, uma vez que as técnicas de pré-processamento são especializadas para as imagens de algas verdes. Uma vez segmentadas as algas, dois descritores para caracterizar as imagens foram propostos: um baseado em características geométricas básicas e outro que utiliza medidas quantitativas calculadas a partir das assinaturas de forma. Resultados experimentais indicaram que as soluções propostas têm um bom potencial para serem utilizadas em tarefas de identificação taxonômica de algas verdes, uma vez que reduz o esforço nos procedimentos manuais e obtém-se classificações satisfatórias.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe recent ratification of the Kyoto Protocol and the heavy penalties imposed on the European firms not reducing their Greenhouse Gas emissions, make the Carbon Market a real asset for Latin America. In this context, Brazil appears as one of the biggest producers of Certified Emissions Reductions, mostly because of its potential to generate electricity power from renewable sources. Unfortunately, the real attractivity of this business is still unknown in the Brazilian Electric Sector, mainly because of the difficulties in estimating the future production level of the emission reductions and because of the existence of some managerial flexibilities that usually are note recognized in this market. In this context, the main objective of this work is to develop a methodology to evaluate the incremental payoff of the carbon market on electricity generation projects of interconnected hydrothermal systems, such as the Brazilian System. The methodologies ACM0002 [1] and AMS-I.D [2], both approved by the Kyoto Protocol Executive Board, will be used to determine the baseline of these projects. Besides that, considering that the carbon price is a random variable, the Real Option Approach will be used to evaluate the embedded managerial flexibilities on this business. The considered real option may be evaluate by using the binomial tree, least square Monte Carlo and the Grant, Vora & Weeks methods. Both the Geometric Brownian Motion and the Jump Diffusion processes will be used to model the price of the emission reductions.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe increasing demand for electricity over networks and the need for systems interconnection through long transmission lines, resulted in problems related to the multi-machine power systemstability. Theseproblemsinvolvelowfrequencyoscillationsclassiedasinterareasmodes. These modes are characterized by oscillations in frequencies up to 1 Hz, and represent a group of generators from one area oscillating against generator groups from other areas. Once the use of power system stabilyzers (PSS) controllers may not be sucient to ensure adequate damping to these modes, the FACTS devices emerge as an ecient alternative to damping low frequency oscillations. For this purpose, the TCSC (Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor)isacommonlyusedFACTSdeviceandwhenitisusedtogetherwithasupplementary controller POD (Power Oscillation Damping), ensures stability to power system and adequate damping. These controllers have the same structure as the PSS controllers. Therefore, the objective of this work is to carry out the coordinated design of PSS and TCSC-POD controllers, performing an incremental adjustment of the controllers parameters by formulating the problem as an optimization problem using quadratic programming. This method was previously used only for PSS design. In the case of this work, it is made an adaptation to extend the applicability of the methodology for cases in which there are FACTS devices present.

Pełny tekst źródłaWhen dealing with nonlinear systems, regular notions of stability are not enough to ensure an appropriate behavior when dealing with problems such as tracking, synchronization and observer design. Incremental stability has been proposed as a tool to deal with such problems and ensure that the system presents relevant qualitative behavior. However, as it is often the case with nonlinear systems, the complexity of the analysis leads engineers to search for relaxations, which introduce conservatism. In this thesis, we focus on the incremental stability of a specific class of systems, namely piecewise-affine systems, which could provide a valuable tool for approaching the incremental stability of more general dynamical systems.Piecewise-affine systems have a partitioned state space, in each region of which the dynamics are governed by an affine differential equation. They can represent systems containing piecewise-affine nonlinearities, as well as serve as approximations of more general nonlinear systems. More importantly, their description is relatively close to that of linear systems, allowing us to obtain analysis conditions expressed as linear matrix inequalities that can be efficiently handled numerically by existing solvers.In the first part of this memoir, we review the literature on the analysis of piecewise-affine systems using Lyapunov and dissipativity techniques. We then propose new conditions for the analysis of incremental L2-gain and incremental asymptotic stability of piecewise-affine systems expressed as linear matrix inequalities. These conditions are shown to be less conservative than previous results and illustrated through numerical examples.In the second part, we consider the case of uncertain piecewise-affine systems represented as the interconnection between a nominal system and a structured uncertainty block. Using graph separation theory, we propose conditions that extend the framework of integral quadratic constraints to consider the case when the nominal system is piecewise affine, both in the non-incremental and incremental cases. Through dissipativity theory, these conditions are then expressed as linear matrix inequalities.Finally, the third part of this memoir is devoted to the analysis of uncertain Lur’e-type nonlinear systems. We develop a new approximation technique allowing to equivalently rewrite such systems as uncertain piecewise-affine systems connected with the approximation error. The proposed approach ensures that the approximation error is Lipschitz continuous with a guaranteed pre-specified upper bound on the Lipschitz constant. This enables us to use the aforementioned techniques to analyze more general classes of nonlinear systems

Pełny tekst źródłaThe incremental sheet forming (ISF) is an innovative process in sheet metal forming method by using a hemispherical rigid tool controlled by Computerized Numerical Control machine (CNC). The clamped sheet is locally deformed following a tool path, defining thus the final geometry of the part. The advantages of this method are its high flexibility, its low tooling cost, and its ability to shorten the design and manufacturing chain. The application of the reduction of the overall costs, and development time made the numerical simulation essential. Many robust simulation models based on the finite element method enable to predict the formability and the geometrical quality of the part. Classic algorithms of simulation ensure reliable quality results but necessary computation times (CPU) are still very long. In this context, a Simplified Approach has been developed to reduce the computation time. This approach allows avoiding the integration of the tool and its contact with the sheet into the numerical simulation, by replacing them with a local and progressive displacement imposition of certain nodes supposed to be in contact with the tool. A complementary solution is proposed within this thesis to reduce the CPU times of a simulation sequence, by using a shell element called DKTRF (Discrete Kirchhoff Triangle Rotation Free). This element takes account of the membrane and bending effects with restricted numbers of degrees of freedom, as the flexion terms are defined in accordance with the nodal translational displacements of the adjacent elements. The integration of this element combined with the Simplified Approach for a regular mesh in an elastoplastic problem gives consistent outcomes in geometric and behavioural, with significant diminution of CPU times in comparison with the industrial numerical simulation performed on ABAQUS©. Results obtained by means of numerical simulation of a study case are then compared with experimental results, thereby enabling to validate the model and to study the influences of process parameters on the final piece. To do this, an experimental test procedure is developed in order to evaluate the efficiency of incremental forming process on a Computerized Numerical Control machine (CNC). The measurement technique used to characterize the geometry (thickness and profile) of the piece is the scanning method. The measurement tool, transcribed accurately the geometry of the part via cameras and post-treatment software. Particularly well-suited for the assessment of the profile, the acquisition method remains to be optimize especially for assessing the thickness of the sheet

Pełny tekst źródłaThis thesis focusses on two approaches to determining Instream Flow Requirements (IFR) for regulated rivers, specifically in the sub-tropical eastern region of South Afiica using a flow-sensitive fish species, the pennant-tailed catlett 07iloglanis anoterus. In response to the diminishing and altered flow regimes of rivers, and the ecological consequences, a range of methodologies has evolved that attempt to quantify IFRs for rivers. One group of methods that attempts to do this are known as habitat-assessment approaches. They focus specifically on understanding how changes in river flow affect the quantity of physical instream habitat. The most widely used of these is the Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (lAM) and it's associated computer packages, PHABSIM II. More recently, South Africa has also turned its attention of ways to defining IFRs. Given lAM's prominence internationally, it was considered as one potential methodology. Nonetheless, its applicability to local conditions required testing. At the same time, the easterly-flowing rivers were under increasing development pressure, providing a particular immediacy to find appropriate means to define IFRs. Thus, my research was designed to assess the downstream effects of the Injaka Dam on the physical habitat of a flow-sensitive fish species of the Marite River. Specifically, it aimed to test the local applicability of lAM, based on the microhabitat requirements of C anoterus, and to explore an alternative approach if it were found to be unsuitable. Microhabitat is described on the basis of three hydraulic variables: depth, velocity and Channel Index (substratum and cover).

Pełny tekst źródłaIn this manuscript a new method to describe the stress gradient effect and predict the life in fretting-fatigue is proposed.This approach consists of representing the movement in the vicinity of a contact front by using a set of degrees of freedom and reference spatial fields.The intensity factors of these reference spatial fields are hence a set of non-local variables which constitute the degrees of freedom of the problem. It is shown that a very small number of them is required to accurately describe the mechanical problem.3D finite element analyses were conducted, first to build the framework of this approximation, second to qualify its accuracy and finally to determine the non-linear response of a contact in multiaxial fretting-fatigue conditions. An incremental constitutive model was developed to predict this non-linear response and was compared to the results of the finite elements analyses.Finally, these non-local intensity factors are used to set up crack initiation criteria and the predicted crack initiation threshold. Then, fretting fatigue lives are compared to experimental data.This non-local representation has the advantage of being independent of the geometry of the contacting bodies. So, intensity factors can be used to predict the behavior of real-scale industrial assembly using data obtained on laboratory test geometry

Pełny tekst źródłaThis PhD thesis is dedicated to the generation of firing sequences in Timed Petri Net (TPN) using an incremental approach. To reduce the influence of the well-known combinatorial explosion issue, a unique sequence of timed steps is introduced to represent implicitly the underlying reachability graph of the TPN, without needing its whole construction. This sequence of timed steps is developed based on the logical abstraction technique. The advantage of the incremental approach is that it can express any state just from the last step information, instead of representing all states before.Several incremental search algorithms are introduced to improve the efficiency of our methodology. Constraint programming techniques are used to model and solve our incremental model, in which search strategies are developed that can search for solutions more efficiently. Our methodology can be used to add specific constraints to model realistic systems. Token identification techniques are developed to handle token confusion issues that appear when addressing the reconfiguration of manufacturing systems. Experimental benchmarks illustrate the effectiveness of approaches proposed in this thesis
