Tectonic transport directions of the Lycian nappes in southwest Turkey constrained by kinematic indicators
2013
The orientation, asymmetry and cross-cutting relationships of the structures along the contact zone between the Lycian nappes and the Menderes Massif suggest the presence of three deformation phases in the Milas region of southwest Turkey. The first deformation phase (D1) is characterized by a ductile deformation with top-to-the-NE sense of shear. Structural data of the first deformation measured along the uppermost part of the Menderes Massif and the base of the Lycian nappes suggest that the lowermost unit of the Lycian nappes was emplaced initially from southwest to northeast onto the Menderes Massif during the Early Eocene. The second deformation phase (D2) is also ductile in nature and…
Hvordan påvirkes arbeidsprosesser ved innføring av EPJ og velferdsteknologi på sykehjem
2018
Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2018 In order to be better equipped in the challenges of the future, with an increasing number of elderly and fewer professionals to care for them, the government emphasizes the importance of service innovation in the healthcare sector. Change is required to gain socioeconomic benefits, particularly in work processes. More frequent and better use of electronic medical record (EMR) and welfare technology is necessary. The purpose of this study was to bring information and knowledge about how using technology in the nursing homes has transformed the work processes. Qualitative, exploratory method with semi-structured i…
South Pole glacial climate reconstruction from multi-borehole laser particulate stratigraphy
2013
AbstractThe IceCube Neutrino Observatory and its prototype, AMANDA, were built in South Pole ice, using powerful hot-water drills to cleanly bore>100 holes to depths up to 2500 m. The construction of these particle physics detectors provided a unique opportunity to examine the deep ice sheet using a variety of novel techniques. We made high-resolution particulate profiles with a laser dust logger in eight of the boreholes during detector commissioning between 2004 and 2010. The South Pole laser logs are among the most clearly resolved measurements of Antarctic dust strata during the last glacial period and can be used to reconstruct paleoclimate records in exceptional detail. Here we use…
La perception des accords aromatiques : un exemple d'interactions perceptives dans les mélanges odorants
2007
Diplôme : Dr. d'Université; Dans le monde de la parfumerie et de l'aromatique, il existe un terme particulier définissant la formation d'une nouvelle qualité odorante à travers le mélange et la fusion de plusieurs odeurs : l'accord. Ce terme, largement employée parmi ces experts, n'avait jamais donné lieu à des études scientifiques approfondies.L' objectif de cette thèse a été de démontrer la réalité de l'accord en olfaction et de montrer qu'il repose sur des interactions perceptives influençant la qualité de l'odeur. Nous avons en particulier étudié les déterminants physico-chimiques, perceptifs et cognitifs des accords aromatiques. Dans un premier temps, nous avons démontré que la percept…
West African Monsoon water cycle: 1. A hybrid water budget data set
2010
International audience; This study investigates the West African Monsoon water cycle with the help of a new hybrid water budget data set developed within the framework of the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses. Surface water and energy fluxes are estimated from an ensemble of land surface model simulations forced with elaborate precipitation and radiation products derived from satellite observations, while precipitable water tendencies are estimated from numerical weather prediction analyses. Vertically integrated atmospheric moisture flux convergence is estimated as a residual. This approach provides an advanced, comprehensive atmospheric water budget, including evapotranspiration,…
Improvements in land surface temperature retrieval from the Landsat series thermal band using water vapor and air temperature
2009
[1] Land surface temperature (LST) is involved in many land surface processes such as evapotranspiration, net radiation, or air temperature modeling. In this paper we present an improved methodology to retrieve LST from Landsat 4 TM, Landsat 5 TM, and Landsat 7 ETM+ using four atmospheric databases covering different water vapor ranges (from 0 to 8 g cm−2) to build the LST retrieval models and using both water vapor and air temperature as input variables. We also compare this with LST retrievals using only water vapor or only air temperature, as well as with an existing LST retrieval algorithm. In order to validate the results, we have selected 77 Landsat images taken between 2002 and 2006 …
Towards a Green Energy Transition: REPowerEU Directive vs Environmental Acquis
2023
The article provides a brief overview and assessment of the proposed measures against the respective political and legal background. It shows that the proposed measures, while generally guided by legitimate objectives, were not properly balanced with the other EU environmental policies. In this context it claims lack of a profound debate regarding the scope and means for such balancing and considers this as a fundamental issue to be addressed before submitting any concrete measures. It then compares the proposed measures with some of the official proclamations in the Europesan Green Deal and shows issues of concern in relation to some of the concrete proposed measures. Finally, it assesses …
EL ÁRBOL DE LA VIDA, UN JUEGO PARA LA SUPERACIÓN DE LOS OBSTÁCULOS AL APRENDIZAJE DE LA EVOLUCIÓN BIOLÓGICA
2016
El objetivo de esta investigación es el de diseñar e implementar un juego de mesa llamado “Árbol de la vida. Viaje en el tiempo al origen de lo vivo” como herramienta para superar obstáculos de aprendizaje de la biología en estudiantes de segundo y cuarto curso del grado de Maestro de Educación Infantil de la Universidad de Valencia (campus d’Ontinyent). Para el análisis de la efectividad del juego se utilizó una metodología que combina aspectos de tipo cualitativo y cuantitativo, con un enfoque interpretativo, utilizando el estudio de caso como estrategia de análisis. Presentamos los resultados correspondientes al pretest diagnóstico, y dejamos para otro trabajo los resultados de argumenta…
Sediment yield from glacio-lacustrine calcareous deposits during the postglacial period in the Combe d’Ain (Jura, France)
1998
The middle valley of the river Ain (Jura) cuts through glacio-lacustrine deposits laid down in an ice-dammed lake during the most recent glacial advance. The total volume eroded is about 6·21 ×10 8 m 3 for a surface area of 3·7 ×10 7 m 2 . Erosion occurred between 18 ka BP and 6 ka BP, i.e. over a duration of some 12 ka. Sediment yield from the area was of the order of 2500 t km -2 a -1 , which is comparable with modern-day sediment yield from NW African badlands. These high values are ascribed to the amenability of glacio-lacustrine deposits to mechanical weathering and to the rapid geomorphological changes that affected glacial and paraglacial sedimentary cover after the retreat of the ic…
Spatio-temporal log-Gaussian Cox processes on earthquake events
2016
This work presents an application of spatio-temporal log-Gaussian Cox processes for the description of earthquake events. To explain the overall spatial trend, spatial geological information in the study area such as faults and volcanoes are introduced in the model. Moreover, an anisotropic specification of the covariance matrix of the Gaussian process is used to improve the explanation of the phenomenon. We apply and compare different models to explain the seismic events occurred in Alaska over the last decades.
