The Recurrent Characteristics of Historic Buildings as a Support to Improve their Energy Performances: The Case Study of Palermo
2017
Abstract The analysis of the recurrent characteristics of the local historic architecture is useful to develop large-scale energy analyses, regulations and financial strategies, but also to support technical guidelines for an energy improvement balanced with conservation. For this purpose, a multi-scale methodology ranging from envelope components to the urban dimension is necessary. In the research here exposed, this approach is investigated by focusing on the historic architecture of Palermo. For this heritage, the collection of thermal and hygrometric data for envelope components is combined with the examination of representative constructions, based on building stock categorization. Int…

High Frequency Data Acquisition System for Modelling the Impact of Visitors on the Thermo-Hygrometric Conditions of Archaeological Sites: A Casa di D…
2018
[EN] The characterization of the microclimatic conditions is fundamental for the preventive conservation of archaeological sites. In this context, the identification of the factors that influence the thermo-hygrometric equilibrium is key to determine the causes of cultural heritage deterioration. In this work, a characterization of the thermo-hygrometric conditions of Casa di Diana (Ostia Antica, Italy) is carried out analyzing the data of temperature and relative humidity recorded by a system of sensors with high monitoring frequency. Sensors are installed in parallel, calibrated and synchronized with a microcontroller. A data set of 793,620 data, arranged in a matrix with 66,135 rows and …
Les sarcophages mérovingiens en trachyte. Des carrières aux lieux d'enfouissement (Massif central)
2018
A multi-disciplinary team is currently working on trachyte, a volcanic rock from the Chaîne des Puys (French massif central), within a research program supported by the French ministry of Culture. Although it has been known at least since the 19th century that this rock was used for construction and sculpture in antiquity, and in the making of sarcophagi in the middle ages, the systematisation of the research on trachyte, carried out since 2008, has enabled us to make significant advances in the knowledge of its exploitation and dissemination. Geologists have established a detailed identity card of the six volcanoes where massive lava is available, thereby allowing the classification of eac…
Engine/Transmission Matching
2014
This chapter deals with the forecasting of vehicle performance on the road, according to the installed engine. It begins with Section 1, which shows the calculation of the resistance to motion, that is, the forces that the vehicle must overcome to advance on flat roads and uphill. The calculation excludes accidental resistance in curves because it is not essential for predicting the behavior of the vehicle on the road. Section 2 begins with the power characteristic, the forecast by traction–speed and power–speed diagrams, calculation of gear ratios, and then passing to the limits to the estimated acceleration, feature consumption, and distance. This chapter concludes with a section on the d…
Traduire le terme oppidum : un exemple des difficultés posées par le Bellum ciuile de César
2020
Our purpose here is not to analyze again in detail the term oppidum and its definition, but rather to see how it was used in the specific context of Caesar’s Bellum ciuile. Previous analyses focused mainly on its use in the De Bello Gallico. Thus, the context in which the author uses the term oppidum in a work completed after the Gallic War leads, on the one hand, to question Caesar’s choice of the word oppidum, and, on the other hand, to propose different translations for it; it is through several examples that I wish to underline the complexity of the translator’s approach.
Comparison of wormlion behavior under man-made and natural shelters: urban wormlions more strongly prefer shaded, fine-sand microhabitats, construct …
2019
Abstract Urban habitats differ from their natural surroundings in various aspects, such as a higher temperature and a distinct species composition. It is therefore not surprising that animal behavior too differs between these habitat types. We studied the foraging and habitat selection behavior of a pit-building predator, a wormlion, originating from either an urban or a more natural site. Wormlions occur in nature under structures that provide shelter from sunlight and rain, such as caves, and are also common in cities, occurring under artificial shelters. Wormlions construct pit-traps to hunt arthropods, and the pits constructed by urban wormlions were larger than those constructed by wor…
Les prélèvements paléoenvironnementaux et géoarchéologiques : principes de conservation et orientations pour le tri / sélection
2020
International audience; Ce travail propose un questionnement sur les modalités de conservation des prélèvements paléoenvironnementaux et géoarchéologiques qui ont été réalisés dans le cadre de recherches archéologiques, en prenant en compte leur intérêt scientifique et leur statut patrimonial. Il s’interroge également sur la question de l’intérêt scientifique de ces restes dans le cadre des discussions en cours. Celles-ci interviennent dans le cadre des procédures de conservation sélective des biens archéologiques mobiliers, introduit par l’ordonnance du 29 juin 2017 relative aux règles de conservation, de sélection et d’étude du patrimoine archéologique mobilier. Construit comme une synthè…
Les restes animaux du sanctuaire de Digeon (Somme)
1986
consultable sur : http://www.persee.fr/web/revues/home/prescript/article/pica_0752-5656_1986_num_3_1_1500; National audience; Sur les 3500 restes animaux issus des fouilles, 1850, bien localisés, ont été étudiés. A côté des mammifères domestiques classiques, des mammifères sauvages, cerf, sanglier, lièvre et loup, sont assez bien représentés. Il a également été recueillis des restes d'oiseaux.
