Patrick Geddes, from the Evergreen to the Collège des Ecossais

2020

International audience; This paper discusses Patrick Geddes's vision of cosmopolitanism in the fin de siècle and shows how he developed his own vision of regional cosmopolitanism from The Evergreen (1895-6) to the Collège des Ecossais (1924-40) in Montpellier.

Thermal Engine and Climate Change Challenge

2021

Thermal engines have dominated sectors of economy, and particularly transportation. Their current development and state of the art are the results of XXth century priorities related to economy and environment. In the future, thermal engines will face the challenge of emerging technologies in the frame of sustainable mobility and development. After an analysis of functioning principles and perspectives of development, particularly of combustion engines, thermal engines are compared to other realistic scenarios for transports applications in well-to-wheel and life cycle analysis.

Development of an aerobic digestion model for the assessment of greenhouse gases production (AeDMG1): Calibration and validation

2015

The increasing interest in greenhouse gas emissions from WWTPs has been leading to new tools for their designing and managing. The activated sludge models have been modified in order to consider on – site emissions from nitrification and denitrification, in particular. The biological nitrogen removal processes have been mainly assessing due to nitrous oxide (N2O) production as intermediate. The IPCC suggests that N2O contributes to climate change because it has a global warming potential 298-fold stronger than carbon dioxide. Even if the mathematical modelling is wide regarding the activated sludge models for greenhouse gases, a model for aerobic digestion is still not available. In this pa…

A novel homologous model for noninvasive monitoring of endometriosis progression.

2017

To date, several groups have generated homologous models of endometriosis through the implantation of endometrial tissue fluorescently labeled by green fluorescent protein (GFP) or tissue from luciferase-expressing transgenic mice into recipient animals, enabling noninvasive monitoring of lesion signal. These models present an advantage over endpoint models, but some limitations persist; use of transgenic mice is laborious and expensive, and GFP presents poor tissue penetration due to the relatively short emission wavelength. For this reason, a homologous mouse model of endometriosis that allows in vivo monitoring of generated lesions over time and mimics human lesions in recipient mice wou…

Sentinel Lymph Node in Aged Endometrial Cancer Patients “The SAGE Study”: A Multicenter Experience

2021

ObjectiveThe incidence of endometrial cancer is increasing in elderly people. Considering that aging progressively affects lymphatic draining function, we aimed to define its impact on IGC uptake during SLN mapping.MethodsA multicenter retrospective cohort of endometrial cancer patients with apparently early-stage endometrial cancer undergoing complete surgical staging with SLN dissection was identified in four referral cancer centers from May 2015 to March 2021. Patients were classified in Group 1 (<65 years old) and Group 2 (≥65 years old). The primary endpoint was the assessment of the overall, bilateral, and unsuccessful SLN mapping in the two groups. Secondary outcomes were the …

Photodegradation of Brilliant Green Dye by a Zinc bioMOF and Crystallographic Visualization of Resulting CO2

2021

We present a novel bio-friendly water-stable Zn-based MOF (1), derived from the natural amino acid L-serine, which was able to efficiently photodegrade water solutions of brilliant green dye in only 120 min. The total degradation was followed by UV-Vis spectroscopy and further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, revealing the presence of CO2 within its channels. Reusability studies further demonstrate the structural and performance robustness of 1.

Skills Matching for a Greener Industry 4.0 : A Literature Review

2022

Manufacturing industry has historically had a very high leverage on environmental impact. Therefore, it is urgent to identify how the industry and its employees can contribute to change towards a sustainable society. Industry leaders need to enable their employees to create sustainable solutions, using technologies rising in industry 4.0. However, nowadays there are also critical discussions about whether this trend has reached our workplace settings in a satisfactory way. Namely, there is a growing skill gap among employees in manufacturing industries causing a lack of capability to match skill needs for fast technological development and requirements on sustainability. The resulting misma…
