Réseaux de distribution de l’énergie et sobriété énergétique des territoires, les apports d’une approche thermodynamique et métabolique des systèmes …
2017
Dans le contexte de transition énergétique et de crise environnementale actuel, les intérêts des approches territoriales et systémiques de l’énergie semblent aujourd’hui admis. Cependant et malgré les nombreuses avancées dans les domaines technologiques, en matière d’urbanisme et d’aménagement ou bien encore en termes d’approches psycho-sociales et comportementales, les courbes de consommations énergétiques peinent à s’infléchir. Fort de ce constat, nous posons l’hypothèse, sur la base d’éléments théoriques empruntés à la thermodynamique et à la biologie, du rôle potentiel que pourraient jouer les réseaux de distribution énergétique, leurs caractéristiques, leur morphologie et leur dynamiqu…
Adolescent Sport Participation and Age at Menarche in Relation to Midlife Body Composition, Bone Mineral Density, Fitness, and Physical Activity
2020
This study aimed to investigate the associations of competitive sport participation in adolescence and age at menarche (AAM) with body composition, femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD), physical performance, and physical activity (PA) in middle-aged women. 1098 women aged 47&ndash
Serum metabolic profiles in overweight and obese women with and without metabolic syndrome.
2014
Objective: To identify serum biomarkers through metabolomics approach that distinguishes physically inactive overweight/obese women with metabolic syndrome from those who are metabolically healthy, independent of body weight and fat mass. Methods: We applied nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy-based profiling of fasting serum samples to examine the metabolic differences between 78 previously physically inactive, body weight and fat mass matched overweight/obese premenopausal women with and without MetS. MetS was defined as the presence of at least three of the following five criteria: waist circumference ≥ 88 cm, serum triacylglycerol ≥ 1.7 mmol/L, and high density lipoprotein cholester…
Women and fat : approaches to the social study of fatness
2009
Shorter recovery time following high-intensity interval training induced higher body fat loss among overweight women
2018
Background: High intensity interval training (HIIT) has been widely employed as an exercise protocol to reduce fat, and also in addition, interval recovery periods are the most important factors which can have great impact on weight loss. Therefore, the aim of this study was the evaluation of different recovery time between HIIT program on metabolic responses and weight loss in overweight women. Methods: Twenty-four overweight (BMI 29.5±3.5 kg/m2) volunteer women were randomly assigned into three groups (n=8/group) to study the effects of different recovery times: (group 1; HIIT with 60/60 activity-rest ratio (sec), group 2; HIIT with 60/30 activity-rest ratio (sec), and group 3 was set as …
Purification of Nano-Porous Silicon for Biomedical Applications
2011
Recently, various bio-medical applications of nanoporous silicon (np-Si) have been suggested. This work investigates the biocompatibility of np-Si particles taking into account hazardous residua confined in the pores after preparation. The emphasis is on the potential application of such particles as oxygen photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy of cancer, which requires both negligible toxicity of np-Si particles in darkness and a high photo-cyto-toxic effect due to generation of singlet oxygen under illumination. Considerable amounts of water soluble toxic impurities are found to be present in the nanoporous shell of micrometer-sized np-Si particles immediately after their preparation b…
Luminescence properties of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet obtained by the co-precipitation method combined with the mechanical process
2005
Nanopowders of yttrium aluminium garnet Y3Al5O12 (YAG) doped with neodymium ions were obtained by the co-precipitation method from the reaction of aluminium and yttrium nitrate and neodymium oxide with ammonia. After washing and drying the hydroxide precursors were calcined at 500, 700, 800 and 900 °C for 1 hour and at 1000 °C for 3 hours. This product was treated by ball milling in a zirconia vial for 0.5, 1.5 and 10 h in order to achieve smaller nanoparticles. The structure, microstructure, morphology and optical properties were investigated by means of diffractometric, microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. The course of the amorphous-to-crystalline transformation was complete after c…
Preparation of Nd:YAG Nanopowder in a Confined Environment
2007
Nanopowder of yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG, Y3Al5O12) doped with neodymium ions (Nd:YAG) was prepared in the water/cetyltrimethylammonium bromide/1-butanol/n-heptane system. Aluminum, yttrium, and neodymium nitrates were used as starting materials, and ammonia was used as a precipitating agent. Coprecipitate hydroxide precursors where thermally treated at 900 degrees C to achieve the garnet phase. The starting system with and without reactants was characterized by means of the small-angle neutron scattering technique. The system, without reactants, is constituted by a bicontinuous structure laying near the borderline with the lamellar phase region. The introduction of nitrates stabilizes th…
"El cuerpo de Giulia-no" de Jorge Eduardo Eielson: cuerpo fisico y cuerpo mental
2016
El cuerpo de Giulia-no de Jorge Eduardo Eielson is a discontinous and elusive text. Written in the 1950s but unpublished until 1971, it is an undoubtedly innovative work which thwarts the readersʼ expectations due to its fragmentary composition, elliptical tendencies, and the underlying dialogue amongst literature, visual arts and science running throughout the text. In this article, I analyse one element of the novel which expresses in an evident way the relationship between literature, theatre and visual arts: The body of its protagonist—Giulia— which is a physical and a mental body, according with the Buddhist vision of Eielson El cuerpo de Giulia-no es un texto discontinuo, indefinible.…
Natural philosophy in the system of ideological orientations of the individual
2016
W pracy omówiono znaczenie i zasady filozofii przyrody, stanowiącej gałąź nauk filozoficznych, dla racjonalnego pojmowania integralności natury i zasad jej funkcjonowania. Koniecznym więc jest przekazywanie tego typu wiedzy studentom wyższych uczelni, gdyż pomoże im ona w lepszym zrozumieniu otaczającego nas świata w powiązaniu z kierunkiem stanowiącym przedmiot ich studiów.
