Simplified thermal analysis of naturally ventilated dwellings
1991
Abstract A simplified comprehensive methodology for thermal comfort prediction in a naturally crossventilated room is described. The methodology mainly consists of the following three steps: • - analysis of the dynamic thermal behaviour of the given room, by means of the admittance procedure; • - evaluation of the air flows rates and their velocities in the room, by means of a new simplified method; • - thermal comfort prediction by means of the Fanger's theory. The results obtained appear satisfactory and the simplified methodology makes itself a useful tool for the identification of appropriate choices at the early stages of the design process, regarding naturally ventilated buildings.

Néolithique. Les villages de Chalain & Clairvaux, patrimoine de l’humanité
2021
This book accompanies the exhibition « Neolithic. The villages of Chalain & Clairvaux, heritage of humanity ». The history of research on the different stations on the shores of Chalain and Clairvaux is retraced, in particular the work directed by Pierre and Anne-Marie Pétrequin over the past fifty years. The inscription of these sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List, within the serial property "Prehistoric Pile Dwellings around the Alps" is explained. The book then addresses the daily life in these neolithic villages around five themes: consuming the wild, agriculture and livestock, construction, daily life in the house, exchanges and innovations. Finally, the issue of preservation of si…
Multidimensional instruments with an integral approach to identify frailty in community-dwelling people: protocol for a systematic psychometric review
2019
IntroductionAn increasing number of investigations highlight the complex nature of frailty; therefore, the use of multidimensional assessment instruments could be useful in clinical decision-making. Frail people are found mainly in the community setting which is why this is the ideal environment for early screening and intervention. For this purpose, it is necessary to have valid, time-effective and easy-to-use frailty assessment instruments. The aim of this review is to critically appraise, compare and summarise the quality of the measurement properties of all multidimensional instruments with an integral approach to identify frailty in community-dwelling people.Methods and analysisMedline…
