Повний текст джерелаThe significant contribution of this thesis is in the area of earthquake-induced deformation of different types of rockfill dams. The permanent excess deformation at a dam’s crest caused by ground-shaking will threaten the dam’s safety. The characteristics of these dams and the severity of the earthquakes (quantified by intensity measures, i.e., IMs) are identified as the most critical components involved in the dam’s seismic performance. In the first part, a study is performed on the seismic deformation (crest settlement) of concrete-face rockfill dams (CFRDs) and its correlation with ground motion IMs. In this way, the importance of cyclic loads’ main characteristics on a numerically modelled typical CFRD case study is underlined. It is concluded that in addition to the amplitude and duration of ground motion, the dam’s response is strongly affected by the frequency characteristics of the earthquake. By gathering available CFRD case histories and analyzing their seismic settlement, a new IM is proposed to efficiently describe an earthquake’s potential to induce settlement in CFRDs. A new predictive relationship is then established which relates the suggested IM and earthquake magnitude with the surveyed crest settlement of the CFRD cases. In the second part, the data available for earth-core rockfill dams (ECRDs) comprising the reported settlement values and the ground motions recorded during the earthquakes are analyzed. Two novel approaches are developed by introducing two new IMs and correlating them to the observed settlement of the ECRD cases. The IMs proposed for ECRDs take into account the influence of the essential aspects regarding the nonlinear behaviour of the dams during severe earthquakes: stiffness degradation of the materials, increase in dissipated energy, and increase in the dams’ periods of vibration. These issues are affected by the earthquake-induced strain, through which the correlation with a dam’s deformation is discovered. The analyses showed that the occurrence of settlement is directly affected by the shear strain amplitudes. Given the importance of the shear strain, the last part of this thesis is devoted to the strain-dependent characteristics of ECRDs. To this end, empirical studies were performed on several acceleration time series for ECRDs that had been struck by earthquakes in Japan. A series of graphs and relationships were established to estimate: (i) the amplitude of the induced shear strain; (ii) the decreased shear modulus of the dams’ cores; and (iii) increased fundamental periods of the dams. This thesis provides an appropriate assembly of tools that can be utilized in engineering practice, either for dynamic analysis or design purposes. The graphs and relationships presented herein are based on reviewing and analyzing the actual performance of numerous dams under earthquakes. They not only address the shortcomings of previous empirical methods, but are also accurate and efficient.

Olivier, Marius. "The conceptual design and development of novel low cost sensors for measuring the relative light emission in the pre-millisecond stages of detonating explosive charges." Thesis, Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/71686.
Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: During the course of the CSIR’s research into the characterisation of explosive sources to devise methods of active intervention against threats, the need has arisen to research a particular means of early identification of the threat, which is the intense light flash during the threat detonation. For this purpose, a low cost rugged fast optical sensor was sought, since the application thereof would imply possible destruction, especially if integrated into an active intervention system later on. Given the average time of about 1ms available for intervention, it is clear that the active intervention system needs to operate within that period, hence the interest in the characteristic light emission of detonations in the pre-millisecond time frame. It was thought that by characterising this emitted light in terms of wavelength (temperature) and amplitude (and maybe other unique phenomena), the size of the threat could be determined and logic decisions derived therefrom. Needless to say, the environment in which the detonation light emission sensor is to operate, is extremely hostile in terms of shock, dust, flying debris, fast rise time of the explosive event, and Electro-magnetic Interference ( EMI) caused by the detonation itself. It must be noted that the light sensor research was driven by the outcome of research tests performed in aid of the development of an active intervention system. During this research the possibility of using commercially available low cost optical detectors at room temperature in combination with cost effective narrow band pass op- tical filters for the relative measurement of the light emission at discrete wavelengths during explosive detonation events were investigated. In 2006, not much applicable lit- erature could be found on this subject, hence the educated “shot-in-the-dark” approach then, which, by a systematic approach of explosive tests and continuous evaluation up to 2011, led to a surprisingly simple and robust low cost optical sensor. The research commenced with a range of optical detector elements selected for their responsivity and bandwidth in the optical spectrum of interest; the optical filtering by means of the recording of the emitted light signal during scaled down explosive tests at the Blast Impact Survivability Research Unit (BISRU) at the University of Cape Town. These tests were followed by full-scale tests at DBEL, and confirmed the findings at BISRU that the light emissions at the longer wavelengths (>2 m) manifest themselves too late for use within the intervention time frame. It was therefore decided to concentrate on the ultra-violet (UV) to near infra-red (NIR) spectrum of the emitted light for further full scale tests, since these discrete spectra showed the most promise for characterisa- tion of the emitted light. During this period a robust sensor housing with detector and filter mounts was designed for protection against blast shock and EMI. During the following years, certain types of optical detectors that were used during previous tests were eliminated according to results obtained, and more discrete narrow band pass filters added in the visible to NIR spectrum. A dedicated fast instrumen- tation amplifier (bandwidth > 1MHz and selectable gain up to 40dB) was developed to amplify weak signals (mainly caused by the heavy load in the detector circuit to improve rise times). However, the emission of light per wavelength in this region was measured to be relatively strong, and actually not as fast as was anticipated. This meant that the load resistor value of the detector element could be increased without affecting the signal negatively (bandwidth sufficient), thus adding to the amplitude of the signal to such a point that amplification in a 10m to 30 meter stand-off scenario was no longer needed. This culminated in an unamplified universal detector element being used with various narrow band pass filters up to 1 m, integrated as a very robust analog sensor at a discrete wavelength, and facilitating the direct comparison of light amplitude/relative intensity of the detonation at discrete spectral points. The sensor was employed in the field at various full scale explosive tests at DBEL, which led to the capture of a vast amount of light emitted data for different types of explosives, at various distances from the detonation, and of varying mass. Analysis of this data showed that the broadband light intensity of the emitted light scales to the explosive mass1/3 (as published by FJ Mostert and M Olivier in the Journal for Applied Physics, October 2011). Further analysis also confirmed the attenuation of the emitted light intensity by the square of the distance. Besides the aforesaid, various other key inputs to a possible active intervention algorithm have been identified. These findings are inputs to the determination of i.a. the detonation threat size, a vital component in the active intervention algorithm. The results of these experiments confirmed that the final low cost analog sensor can measure relative light emission at discrete wavelengths from detonation of explosives in the very early stages of development, and that the sensor has many other applications in the detonics research fields as well.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Gedurende die WNNR se navorsing om detonerende bronne te karakteriseer ten einde aktiewe teenmaatreëls daar te stel, het die behoefte na vore gekom om die intense ligflits van ’n detonasie te ondersoek en te karakteriseer. Vir hierdie doel is ’n lae koste ligsensor benodig, synde die uiteindelike aanwending van hierdie ligsensor die vernietiging daarvan sou beteken, aldus die lae koste vereiste. Gegewe die kort tydsduur van die detonasie (’n paar millisekondes), is dit duidelik dat die ligflits karakerisering voor 1ms moet geskied, en daarom moet die ligsensor ook baie vinnig reageer om insette te lewer tot ’n aktiewe teenmaatreëlstelsel. Daar moet op gelet word dat die ligsensor se ontwikkeling uitkomsgedrewe was deur die navorsingstoetse om ’n aktiewe teenmaatreëlstelsel daar te stel. Een van die insette tot so ’n aktiewe teenmaatreëlstelsel is die grootte van die bedreiging: deur die ligflits te karakteriseer met die lae koste ligsensors t.o.v. golflengte, ligamplitude en moontlik ander verskynsels, kan bv. die massa inset verkry word wat nodig is vir die teenmaatreël algoritme. Die omgewing waarin die ligsensor moet funksioneer is baie onvriendelik i.t.v. skok, stof, vlieënde partikels en elektromagnetiese steurings, en sou daarteen beskerm moes word. Gedurende die navoring om so ’n ligsensor te ontwikkel (samelopend met die teen- maatreël navorsing), is kommersiële kamertemperatuur detektors oorweeg en aange- wend, in samewerking met nouband optiese filters. Die doel was om die ligopbrengs per golflengte te karakteriseer m.b.t. die plofstof massa, plofstof tipe en geometrie, en die afstand vanaf die detonasie. Bitter min literatuur oor die ligmeting van detonasies is aanvanklik gevind, aldus is ’n basislyn daargestel en deur sistematiese toetsing, ontleding en verbetering voortgegaan met die navorsing. Dit het gelei tot ’n verrassend eenvoudige en verharde lae koste ligsensor, wat deur meting sleutelinsette kon lewer tot die gesogte aktiewe teenmaatreël algoritme. Kommersiële detektors en nouband optiese filters is uitgesoek na aanleiding van hul prys en prestasie, en waar nodig, is versterking van die seine aangebring. Verskeie toetse met plofstof (op klein en groot skaal) is uitgevoer, waartydens ligmeting by spesifieke golflengtes opgeneem is. Analise van hierdie data het getoon dat die langer golflengtes (>2 m) se verskyning te laat is vir insluiting in die teenmaatreël algoritme, en is dus geleidelik (of sistematies) uitgeskakel. Die klem het geskuif na die detonasie liguitsetting in die UV tot naby infrarooi spektrum, wat nuwe detektors en filters tot gevolg gehad het (uitkoms gebasseerde navorsing). In die proses is ’n instrumentasie versterker ontwerp en gebou, vir buffering en versterking van seine hoër as 1 MHz met ’n selekteerbare aanwins van tot 40dB. Toetse met volskaalse ladings het egter getoon dat die liguitset besonder sterk is in die UV tot naby infrarooi spektrum, en ’n onversterkte ligsensor is aldus op die proef gestel. Hierdie proeflopie het getoon dat die onversterkte ligsensor besonder goed funksioneer op afstande tot en met 30m, en daar is op hierdie model voortgebou. Die verharde onversterkte ligsensor is aangewend in verskeie verdere volskaalse plofstof toetse, en het data gelewer t.o.v. detonasie liguitstraling by spesifieke golflengtes vir tipes plofstof, plofstof massas, plofstof geometrie en afstande vanaf die detonasie. Analise van hierdie data het getoon dat breëband liguitsetting se intensiteit skaal met die plofstof massa1=3 (gepubliseer as ’n artikel deur FJ Mostert en M Olivier in die Journal of Applied Physics’ - Oktober 2011). Verdere analise het verskeie sleutelinsette tot ’n aktiewe teenmaatreël algoritme geïdentifiseer. Die uitkoms van hierdie eksperimentele navorsing het getoon dat die lae koste lig- sensor relatiewe liguitsetting van ’n detonasie by gekose golflengtes vinnig kan meet in die baie vroeë stadia van die detonasie. Buiten dit, het die sensor verskeie ander nuttige aanwending in die detonasie navorsingsveld.
Knoop, Ludvig de. "Development of quantitative in situ transmission electron microscopy for nanoindentation and cold-field emission." Toulouse 3, 2014. http://thesesups.ups-tlse.fr/3041/.
Повний текст джерелаThis thesis has focused on the development of quantitative in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. We have used a special nano-probe sample holder, which allows local electrical biasing and micro-mechanical testing. The finite element method (FEM) was used to compare models with the experimental results. In addition to conventional imaging techniques, electron holography has been used to measure electric fields and strains. The first part addresses cold-field emission from a carbon cone nanotip (CCnT). This novel type of carbon structure may present an alternative to W-based cold-field emission sources, which are used in the most advanced electron guns today. When a sufficiently strong electric field is applied to the CCnT, electrons can tunnel through the energy barrier with the vacuum, which corresponds to the phenomenon of cold-field emission. Using electron holography and FEM, a quantified value of the local electric field at the onset of field emission was found (2. 5 V/nm). Combining this with one of the Fowler-Nordheim equations, the exit work function of the CCnT was determined to be 4. 8±0. 3 eV. The number of charges on the CCnT before and after the onset of field emission was also measured. The second part focuses on the plastic deformation of Al thin films to test dislocation-interface interactions. A dislocation close to an interface with a stiffer material should be repelled by it. Here, we find to the contrary that dislocations moving towards the oxidized interface are absorbed, even at room temperature. The stress was derived from a combination of load-cell measurements and FEM calculations. Finally, preliminary experiments to combine in situ indentation and dark-field electron holography are reported

Повний текст джерелаParticle-laden flows occur in industrial applications ranging from droplets in gas turbines tofluidized bed in chemical industry. Prediction of the dispersed phase properties such as concentration and dynamics are crucial for the design of more efficient devices that meet the new pollutant regulations of the European community. The objective of this thesis is to develop an Euler-Lagrange formulation on a parallel and unstructured solver for large- eddy simulation. This work is motivated by the rapid increase in computing power which opens a new way for simulations that were prohibitive one decade ago. Special attention is taken to keep data structure simplicity and code portability. Developments are validated in two configurations : an academic test of a decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence and a polydisperse two-phase flow of a confined bluff body. The use of load-balancing capabilities is highlighted as a promising solut! ion in Lagrangian two-phase flow simulations to improve performance when strong imbalance of the dispersed phase is present

Повний текст джерелаThe current crisis in water supply worldwide and the associated water use problems are one of the great concerns for the humanity, leading to the necessity to find solutions to prevent harmful consequences in the environment. Charges for water use in agricultural irrigation, supported by principles of environmental law as "user-payer" and "polluting payer", the application of "protector-receiver" and "participation" principles as well as environmental education, represent tools in water management with inductive effects on rational water use, broadening the awareness of irrigation users for the sustainment of natural water resources. The carrying out of this holistic approach in the implementation process of water use charges in a given catchment basin is based on the integration of technical aspects of the irrigated areas, environmental legislation and the necessities of the local community to establish individually adapted charges for water use with the result to decrease wastefulness and increase the water use efficiency. The objectives of this work were: (i) a qualitative evaluation of irrigation use in 11 rural areas in the small catchment basin of river Marins; (ii) to base the charge system for water use in agricultural irrigation on basis of the environmental law principles "user-payer" and "polluting payer"; (iii) to argue the principle of "participation"; (iv) to base the payment for ecosystem services (PSE); (v) to provide a basis for future management interventions in the basin with the objective to design environmental education projects, integrated in the management activities of water resources. The study based on semi-structural interviews with irrigation users in the respective areas. The results showed that irrigation management is not practiced, the preoccupation with water deficiency exist, water use charges is not accepted, the monitoring of erosion processes is not done and there is an agreement with the importance to preserve the riverine vegetation. Moreover, the results indicated a lack of knowledge about the impacts caused by inadequate water management that is expected to be the reason for the already existing degradation of water, soil and riverine vegetation. It can be concluded, that for attitude changes of irrigation users in terms of more efficient use of water resources associated with charges for water use interdisciplinary collaborations of environmental law, irrigation management and environmental education are necessary.

Gradin, Joakim. "Seaching for a charged Higgs boson and development of a hardware track trigger with the ATLAS experiment." Thesis, Université Grenoble Alpes (ComUE), 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017GREAY098.
Повний текст джерелаIn 2012 the ATLAS and CMS experiments announced the discoveryof a new particle, a Higgs boson. This particle was hypothesized in the1960’s and explains how fundamental particles get their mass. However, amodel with a single Higgs boson is still not able to explain the aforemen-tioned cosmological observations. An electrically charged Higgs boson isa feature of many suggested extensions of the current model, includingsupersymmetry. The properties of such a particle, e.g. its mass and howit interacts with other particles are not fixed by theory but forms a pa-rameter space in which we must look for it. Searches for charged Higgsbosons have been performed prior to the LHC, but with the new energyscale of the LHC, the experiments have been able to look for heavier par-ticles. In this work we searched for a charged Higgs boson decaying intothe heaviest two quarks, a top and bottom pair. No deviations from thestandard model were found in the data gathered up until 2016, and hencewe can set upper limits on the production rate of a charged Higgs boson.These limits can then be used to exclude parts of the parameter space.The LHC will be upgraded around 2025 to increase the luminosity,that is the intensity of the proton beams. Protons are not acceleratedone by one at the LHC but in bunches. The luminosity can be increasedby using more protons per bunch but also by squeezing the bunches to besmaller at the point of collision. This means that the rate at which we canhope to produce rare events will increase but also that the backgroundrates and so called pile-up, the number of proton collisions per bunchcrossing, will increase. The rate of bunch crossings at the LHC is muchtoo high for ATLAS to be able to readout and store all data for eachevent, instead we use triggers that select events which look interesting.The current triggers are not suited for the high rates and pile-up of theHigh Luminosity (HL) LHC after the upgrade and must thus be improved.A way to do this is to use the information from the tracking detector thatprovides information on the trajectories of charged particles. By usingalgorithms that can be implemented in hardware a track trigger can bemade fast enough to work within the short latency required at the HL-LHC. The tracking detector provides space points, measurements of theparticle trajectories at different intervals, to which a track can be fitted.The amount of data from the tracker is very large, and performing trackfits on all the combinations of the space point would take too much time.Therefore a track trigger must be able to select a subset of space points onwhich to perform the track fit. For this thesis we have explored the idea ofusing standalone electron and muon triggers to select a part of the trackervolume, and then select space points that match precomputed patternsthat correspond to high energy particles. It has been shown that this isa viable option to reduce background rates while keeping high efficiencyfor the events we want to keep, even in high pile-up conditions

Повний текст джерелаCMOS Pixel Sensors are being developed since a few years to equip vertex detectors for future high-energy physics experiments with the crucial advantages of a low material budget and low production costs. The features simultaneously required are a short readout time, high granularity and high tolerance to radiation. This thesis mainly focuses on the radiation tolerance studies. To achieve the targeted readout time (tens of microseconds), the sensor pixel readout was organized in parallel columns restricting in addition the readout to pixels that had collected the signal charge. The pixels became then more complex, and consequently more sensitive to radiation. Different in-pixel architectures were studied and it was concluded that the tolerance to ionizing radiation was limited to 300 krad with the 0. 35-um fabrication process currently used, while the targeted value was several Mrad. Improving this situation calls for implementation of the sensors in processes with a smaller feature size which naturally improve the radiation tolerance while simultaneously accommodate all the in-pixel microcircuitry in small pixels. Another aspect addressed in this thesis was the tolerance to non ionizing radiation, with a targeted value of >1013 neq/cm2. Different CMOS technologies featuring an enhanced signal collection were therefore investigated. It was demonstrated that this tolerance could be improved to 3•1013 neq/cm2 by the means of a high-resistivity epitaxial layer. This achievement triggered a new age of the CMOS pixel sensors and showed that their development is on a good track to meet the requirements of the particularly demanding CBM experiment

Повний текст джерелаIn the late 1960s, public sculpture spread in the urban landscape. In the same period, a new generation of artists was trying to create ecological works of art, forms that are associated with post-modernism in art. But there were few works of art that were linked to nature, when compared with the quantity of sculptures exhibited in the plazas of skyscrapers. Why? To answer this question, this research uses the sociology of art as a methodology, particularly the methodology developed by Pierre Bourdieu. The thesis presents the case of Montreal, and compares it to that of New York City. It includes case studies of Viger Square and of the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) Garden, two public spaces designed by Montreal artists. We examine the factors that contributed to the predominance of a specific art form, the sculpture in a plaza, and to the rarity of the garden: the characteristics of the genre (garden versus sculpture); the relationships between the main actors; the art market and the manipulation of demand; the various policies associated with art/culture and with urban development; the interests of patrons (be they public or private). All these factors had an influence on the art forms in the city, often labelled "public art" or "art integrated with architecture." The study reveals that the post-modern economy exhibited works of art that are seldom associated with post-modernism in art. The model of the sculpture in a plaza did not dominate the modernist urban development, but it reflects more a post-modernist morphology.

The goal of this work is to develop a charged-particle microbeam for use in radiobiological research at the MIT Laboratory for Accelerator Beam Applications (LABA). The purpose of this device is to precisely explore the radiation response of biological systems on a cellular and subcellular level, particularly in the area of temporal and spatial effects of radiation on in vitro systems. An accelerator-based 750 keV proton source was characterized and integrated into a laboratory-scale device that includes a deflection/gating system, single-particle detection system, imaging and positioning system, and a collimation system with two designed modes: a "charged-particle microslit" for delivering a -3 micron by 1 mm dose profile; and a pinhole aperture for delivering a -3 micron diameter pattern of radiation. The entire device measures less than 4 m, requires minimal radiation shielding, and utilizes a dedicated ion source. The charged particle microslit has been fully characterized and used to deliver a radiation pattern to a series of mammalian fibroblast cell monolayers that have subsequently been assayed for direct and indirect chemical effects of radiation, double-stranded DNA damage, and DNA repair protein localization. These studies will contribute to the understanding of the radiation-induced bystander effect, which is generally defined as the induction of biological effects in cells that are not directly traversed by ionizing radiation.
(cont.) Analysis of the range of assays performed on the microbeam-irradiated cells demonstrates that even though the physical radiation dose is confined to a subnuclear width (< 5 microns), in many cases the biological effects of the radiation extend for many cell widths (> 40 microns) and show dependence on the initial radiation dose delivered to the directly irradiated cells. As an experimental system, the LABA Microbeam was designed to be practically turn-key, and most applications require only one operator to perform. The LABA Microbeam represents a significant step towards a cost-effective and easily operated charged-particle microbeam appropriate for use as a standard laboratory research tool. Further work remains in automation of the microbeam subsystems and optimization/characterization of the pinhole-aperture collimator, as well as expanding the scope of the radiobiological assays performed using the charged-particle microslit.

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis presents new developments in charged particle detection and digital pulse processing for application in analysis with fast ion beams - Ion Beam Analysis (IBA). In particular a charged particle detector array, consisting of 16 independent charged particle detectors on a single silicon chip is implemented giving an overall solid angle of detection around two orders of magnitude greater than the standard charged particle detectors used in IBA. Sixteen parallel data acquisition channels are implemented using a fully digital approach for nuclear pulse processing. The overall system has an energy resolution equivalent to that of standard detectors. The large amount of data generated is handled in a self-consistent way by spectrum fitting with a simulated annealing algorithm via the NDF DataFurnace. The large solid angles thus achieved are exploited in Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) and ion channelling studies of the topological insulator Bi2Se3 enriched in Fe, in view of studies of the thermo-electric effect, spintronics and quantum computing, and in RBS and Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRA) studies of organic photovoltaic materials based on tetraphenyldibenzoperiflanthene (DBP) as the photo-absorber and transition metal oxide charge injectors

Повний текст джерелаCHARGE syndrome (CS) is a rare genetic disease characterized by numerous congenital abnormalities, mainly caused by de novo alterations of the CHD7 gene. It encodes a chromodomain protein, involved in the ATP-dependent remodeling of chromatin. The vast majority of CHD7 alterations consists in null alleles like deletions, non-sense substitutions or frameshift-causing variations. We report the first molecular diagnosis of an Indonesian CS patient by a targeted NGS (next-generation sequencing) gene panel (CHD7, EFTUD2, and HOXA1). We identified a novel heterozygous nonsense mutation in exon 34 of CHD7 (c.7234G>T or p.Glu2412Ter). Functional analyses to confirm the pathogenicity of CHD7 variants are lacking and urgently needed. Therefore, the aim of this study was to establish a functional test for wild-type (WT) or variants of CHD7 protein found in CS patients. Using an expression vector encoding CHD7, three variants harboring an amino acid substitution and one variant with a five-amino acid insertion were generated via site-directed mutagenesis. Then CHD7 proteins, either wild-type (WT) or variants, were overexpressed in HeLa cell line. Protein expression was highlighted by western blot and immunofluorescence. We then used real-time RT-PCR to study CHD7 functionality by evaluating the transcript amounts of five genes whose expression is regulated by CHD7 according to the literature. These reporter genes are 45S rDNA, SOX4, SOX10, ID2, and MYRF. We observed that, upon WT-CHD7 expression, the reporter gene transcriptions were downregulated, whereas the four variant alleles of CHD7 had no impact. This suggests that these alleles are not polymorphisms because the variant proteins appeared non-functional. Furthermore, we applied our biological assay in SH-SY5Y cell line in which endogenous CHD7 gene was mutated using the CRISPR/Cas9 technique. Then, we observed that when a CHD7 missense variant was expressed, the transcription levels of the five reporter genes were non-significantly different, compared with the cells in which both CHD7 alleles were knocked-out. Therefore, the studied variants can be considered as disease-causing of CS

Повний текст джерелаThese state-resolve methods were further applied to investigate the development of optical gain in CdSe quantum dots. It was observed that the capacity of these systems to achieve the regime of optical gain has a pronounced dependence on the initially prescribed excitonic state. In general, as the energy of the initial state was increased it was progressively more difficult to achieve optical gain due to the impeding influence of state dependent multiexcitonic interactions. This explains the inability of prior research which used fixed wavelength excitation sources to demonstrate optical gain in small particles. By maintaining the identity for the pumped state in different particle sizes, the long standing prediction that quantum dots would be a universal gain medium was recovered. In addition, evidence for the capacity of specific higher order multiexcitonic interactions to manipulate the resulting optical gain spectrum was provided.
Des mesures pompe/sonde résolues en états quantiques de résolutions temporelles de l'ordre du femtoseconde ont été effectuées pour examiner la dynamique, dépendante de la taille, des transporteurs de charges de points quantiques de CdSe fortement confinés. Après l'excitation optique, la relaxation de la bande de conduction s'effectue par le mécanisme Auger, tel que prédit, alors que dans la bande de valence la présence d'un mécanisme de relaxation précédemment inobservé est détectée. Ce mécanisme est associé aux interactions non-adiabatiques avec les ligands de surface. La nature quantitative de ces mesures, résultant d'une recherche explicite sur les taux de transition d'état-à-état, a permis de développer un portrait d'ensemble de la relaxation d'exciton pour ces matériaux. Dans ce système, le taux de transition associé aux porteurs de charge se compose de différentes contributions, chacune ayant une dépendance de taille distincte.
Ces méthodes résolues en états quantiques ont été également appliquées à l'étude du développement du gain optique dans les points quantiques de CdSe. Il a été observé que la capacité de ces systèmes à atteindre le régime du gain optique dépend fortement de l'état excitonique initial. Au fur et à mesure que l'énergie de l'état fondamental fût augmentée, il fùt progressivement plus difficile d'obtenir un gain optique à cause de l'influence des interactions multiexcitoniques, dépendantes des états. Ceci explique donc l'incapacité des études antérieures, ayant utilisées des sources fixes d'excitation de longueur d'onde, à démontrer le gain optique des petites particules. La prévision émise antérieurement selon laquelle les points quantiques seraient un médium de gain universel a été confirmée en conservant l'identité pour l'état pompé dans des tailles de particules différentes. La capacité des interactions multiexcitoniques d'ordres spécifiques supérieures à manoeuvrer le gain optique résultant a aussi été prouvée.

Off-budget public finance in China is an informal system of levies that emerges in response to local fiscal needs. Off-budget funds serve as part of local government revenue and help finance local government expenditures. In the real estate sector, local governments raise off-budget funds by charging many types of user fees on housing development. The user charge revenue is an important revenue source to finance urban public service expenditures. Some drawbacks of user charges such as legal ambiguity and the lack of transparency reflect noteworthy investment risks in Chinese housing development. Thus, a good understanding of the real estate user charges is critical for foreign and domestic developers who are interested in housing development in China. In this study, we have explored literatures about urban public service policies, presented facts about the current user charge practices, analyzed the costs incurred in use fee transactions, evaluated the efficiency and equity contributions of the current system, and illustrated important issues in details by a case study of a single user fee.
(cont.) Based on our research, we argue that user charges are important financial instruments for urban public services such as water, gas, electricity, and sewage, whereas the current market is bearing a lot of transaction costs due to the incomplete legislation and the limitation of institutional settings. We recommend short-term and long-term strategies for future user charge reforms. Policy designed for improving the user charge system should be based on the particular circumstances in China. Reforms should proceed according to the evolution of the entire institutional environment and are expected to be gradual.

Повний текст джерелаIn order to protect their detection against the giant electromagnetic pulse generated by the interaction of the PETAL laser with its target, PETAL diagnostics will be equipped with passive detectors. For SESAME and SEPAGE systems, a combination of imaging plate (IP) detectors with high-Z material protection layers will be used to provide additional features such as: 1) Ensuring a response of the detector to be independent of its environment and hence homogeneous over the surface of the diagnostics; 2) Shielding the detectors against high-energy photons from the PETAL target. In this work, calibration experiments of such detectors based on IPs were performed at electron and proton facilities with the goal of covering the energy range of the particle detection at PETAL from 0.1 to 200 MeV. The introduction aims at providing the reader the methods and tools used for this study. The second chapter presents the results of two experiments performed with electrons in the range from 5 to 180 MeV. The third chapter describes an experiment and its results, where protons in the energy range between 80 and 200 MeV were sent onto detectors. The fourth chapter is dedicated to an experiment with protons and ions in the energy range from 1 to 22 MeV proton energy, which aimed at studying our detector responses and testing the demonstrator of the SEPAGE diagnostic. We used the GEANT4 toolkit to analyse our data and compute the detection responses on the whole energy range from 0.1 to 1000 MeV
