Le site de Sanofi situé à Mourenx, dans le bassin industriel de Lacq (64), produit un médicament antiépileptique, la Dépakine®, dont le principe actif est le valproate de sodium (VPS). Ce site est une installation classée pour la protection de l’environnement (ICPE) soumise à autorisation au titre de l’article L.511-1 et suivants du Code de l’environnement. Les rejets dans l’environnement d’une telle installation sont encadrés par des limites établies sur la base d’une évaluation quantitative des risques sanitaires (EQRS). En 2017, Sanofi Chimie a réalisé une évaluation de l’impact sur la santé et l’environnement des rejets atmosphériques de valproate, en utilisant des valeurs toxicologique…

The political, legal and moral scope of the universal declaration of human rights: pending issues

2018

With the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a new era began in the recognition and guarantee of human rights in the international area. However, since the moment of its approval, this text has received negative evaluations designed to relegate it to the background. The responses to these criticisms allow us to review their political and legal scope, and put it in value as a reference model in the field of human rights, delving into the pending issues to strengthen it. This is intended, on the seventieth anniversary of the Declaration, to insist that this remains an essential bridge to clarify standards that can serve as a basis for discussion between different cultures a…

Retrieval of vegetation height in rice fields using polarimetric SAR interferometry with TanDEM-X data

2017

This work presents for the first time a demonstration with satellite data of polarimetric SAR interferometry (PolInSAR) applied to the retrieval of vegetation height in rice fields. Three series of dual-pol interferometric SAR data acquired with large baselines (2–3 km) by the TanDEM-X system during its science phase (April–September 2015) are exploited. A novel inversion algorithm especially suited for rice fields cultivated in flooded soil is proposed and evaluated. The validation is carried out over three test sites located in geographically different areas: Sevilla (SW Spain), Valencia (E Spain), and Ipsala (W Turkey), in which different rice types are present. Results are obtained duri…

A MODEL FOR VESTIBULAR FUNCTION IN ALTERED GRAVITATIONAL STATES

1979

ABSTRACT During evolution, the vestibular organ was made to serve mainly two purposes: 1) to guide eye movements during sharp turns, so that the point of fixation in the visual field can be kept steady, a function accomplished by the semicircular canal system and 2) to indicate the terrestrial vertical, so that upright posture and gait can be maintained even in the dark. The otolith system serves the latter purpose. Since the function of the semicircular canal system does not depend on gravity, it is not grossly disturbed by gravitational levels different from 1 g . The proper function of the otolith system depends entirely on the presence of a gravitational force vector of 9.8/m/sec2 direc…

Global Navigation Satellite Systems And Services

2008

This chapter introduces the concept of Satellite Navigation in the context of space infrastructures and technologies that can contribute for improvement of life on Earth. It includes a review of the motivations for developing a satellite navigation system, and the applications and services these systems have in daily life. Furthermore, currently existing Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GPS and GLONASS) and other GNSS systems under development (GALILEO) are described from different perspectives: from the technical and architectural aspects to the ways chosen to finance their development and operations. To round up this chapter, an analysis of the expected trends in GNSS systems is prese…

Analysis of dietary patterns and nutritional adequacy in lactating women : a multicentre European cohort (ATLAS study)

2021

Abstract Eating habits of lactating women can influence the nutrient composition of human milk, which in turn influences nutrient intake of breastfed infants. The aim of the present study was to identify food patterns and nutritional adequacy among lactating women in Europe. Data from a multicentre European longitudinal cohort (ATLAS study) were analysed to identify dietary patterns using cluster analysis. Dietary information from 180 lactating women was obtained using 3-d food diaries over the first 4 months of lactation. Four dietary patterns were identified: ‘vege-oils’, ‘fish-poultry’, ‘confectionery-salads’ and ‘mixed dishes’. Nutrition adequacy was not significantly different between …

Nutrient intakes of children aged 1-2 years as a function of milk consumption, cows' milk or growing-up milk.

2012

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate the nutritional adequacy of diets in early childhood as a function of milk intake, cows’ milk (CM) or growing-up milk (GUM).DesignFrom a cross-sectional food consumption survey, two groups of children aged 1–2 years were defined: Group CM fed exclusively on CM ≥ 250 ml/d and Group GUM fed on GUM ≥ 250 ml/d. Proportions of children at risk of nutrient excess or insufficiency were estimated relative to the French Recommended Daily Allowances, Estimated Average Requirements or Adequate Intakes.SettingParents participating in the survey were recruited from all regions of France by a polling organization. Distribution was adjusted to that of the French population.Sub…

Nonlinear evolution of cosmological inhomogeneities

2008

The nonlinear evolution of a cosmologically significant fluid is studied up to shell crossing. The magnetic part of the Weyl tensor, the pressure and the vorticity vanish. A suitable spatial grid is chosen. The relativistic Ellis equations are particularized on the world lines defined by the nodes of the grid and, then, the resulting equations are numerically solved. The integrations are performed in suitable Lagrangian inertial coordinates, in which the differential equations become ordinary. After the integration, a method to change from Lagrangian to Eulerian coordinates is applied. This approach has been outlined with the essential aim of studying the evolution of large scale cosmologic…
