Physical modeling of heat and moisture transfer in wet bio-sourced insulating materials.

2018

Simultaneous heat and moisture transfers in bio-sourced insulating materials are significant phenomena in thermal metrology. The present study focuses on these phenomena by experimental and numerical approaches based on the asymmetric hot-plate method. In this paper, a bio-sourced insulating material based on flax fibers is developed. The thermal and hygric properties of the sample are then investigated in the humid atmosphere. The temperature is maintained at 30 °C, and the relative humidity varies between 30% and 90% RH. A physics-based model of simultaneous heat and moisture transfer is developed for thermal conductivity estimation. This model is discretized with finite difference method…

Analysis of gas sensors array signals for evaluation of mold contamination in buildings

2018

Mold is considered to be one of the most important features of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) and is an important problem in building sector. In numerous cases it is caused by the rising moisture of building envelopes and overstated humidity of indoor air. Fungal contamination is normally evaluated using standard biological methods which are time-consuming and require a lot of manual labor. But also, fungi emit Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) that can be detected in the indoor air using several techniques of detection e.g. chromatography. VOCs can be also detected using gas sensors arrays. All arrays of sensors generate particular electric signals that ought to be analyzed using statistical …

Synthesis of and structural studies on lead(II) cysteamin complexes.

2004

The novel compounds PbCl(2).(SCH(2)CH(2)NH(3)) (1), Pb(SCH(2)CH(2)NH(2))(2).2PbCl(SCH(2)CH(2)NH(2)) (2), and Pb(SCH(2)CH(2)NH(2))(2) (3) were synthesized by reaction of PbO or PbCl(2) with [HSCH(2)CH(2)NH(3)]Cl and NaOH, and were characterized by elemental analysis, IR-, and UV/vis-spectroscopy. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed different coordination modes for the two Pb atoms in 2. The Pb atom in the Pb(SCH(2)CH(2)NH(2))(2) unit forms two covalent Pb-S and two intramolecular dative Pb...N bonds, leading to a pseudo trigonal bipyramidal configuration with a stereochemically active lone pair. The Pb atom in the PbCl(SCH(2)CH(2)NH(2)) unit, the first moiety structurally characterized…

El día más difícil del rey. Discursos de legitimación monárquica desde la ficción televisiva

2015

This essay examines the representation of the political process which led to the establishment and subsequent consolidation of the constitutional monarchy in recent Spanish TV fiction. It also aims at finding out what these stories reveal about the context of crisis which has engendered them. The paper focuses on the paradigmatic case of 23-F, el día más difícil del Rey - a highly popular TV drama released by the state-owned channel TVE in February 2009 - in order to analyze the discourse of monarchic legitimacy it conveys.

Novel Hydrazine Molecules as Tools To Understand the Flexibility of Vascular Adhesion Protein-1 Ligand-Binding Site: Toward More Selective Inhibitors

2011

Vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) belongs to a family of amine oxidases. It plays a role in leukocyte trafficking and in amine compound metabolism. VAP-1 is linked to various diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, psoriasis, depression, diabetes, and obesity. Accordingly, selective inhibitors of VAP-1 could potentially be used to treat those diseases. In this study, eight novel VAP-1 hydrazine derivatives were synthesized and their VAP-1 and monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibition ability was determined in vitro. MD simulations of VAP-1 with these new molecules reveal that the VAP-1 ligand-binding pocket is flexible and capable of fitting substantially larger ligands than was previously believ…

Importance sampling type estimators based on approximate marginal Markov chain Monte Carlo

2020

We consider importance sampling (IS) type weighted estimators based on Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) targeting an approximate marginal of the target distribution. In the context of Bayesian latent variable models, the MCMC typically operates on the hyperparameters, and the subsequent weighting may be based on IS or sequential Monte Carlo (SMC), but allows for multilevel techniques as well. The IS approach provides a natural alternative to delayed acceptance (DA) pseudo-marginal/particle MCMC, and has many advantages over DA, including a straightforward parallelisation and additional flexibility in MCMC implementation. We detail minimal conditions which ensure strong consistency of the sug…

Le jongleur. Mémoire de l'Image au Moyen Âge : figures, figurations et musicalité dans les manuscrits enluminés (1200-1330)

2011

En couleur et en mouvement, le jongleur joue de la musique parmi les oiseaux, les animaux et les rinceaux fleuris des livres enluminés du Moyen Age. Jamais loin du roi David, il accroche l'oeil et éveille l'esprit par son caractère incongru et étonnant. Ce livre est consacré à ses figurations dans les psautiers, les ouvrages de philosophie naturelle et de métaphysique d'Aristote, destinés aux laïcs, dans les royaumes de France et d'Angleterre, entre 1200 et 1330. Il étudie la transformation de la figure du jongleur depuis l'Antiquité jusqu'à sa réinvention par les nouveaux intellectuels du XIIIe siècle, soucieux de se distinguer du jongleur : Dominicains, Franciscains et maîtres séculiers d…

La construction des climats viticoles en Bourgogne, la relation du vin au lieu au Moyen Âge. Une culture du vin et du lieu en Bourgogne

2014

Climats is the technical term for portions of vineyards delimited and named according to specific wine qualities. They arose from the seventeenth century onwards as a specific terroir meaning in Burgundy. However, tradition still emphasizes the medieval actors of Burgundian viti-viniculture as dukes and monks as the determinants for the emergence of climats. Therefore it is worth exploring medieval history to decipher the relationship linking wine to place in the Middle Ages : for instance, the way wines were labelled in cellars and storerooms in Dijon. Some monastic communities were not accustomed to differentiating their wine according to the original place in which it grew. Human practic…
