Penser la ville durable : positionner la modélisation et l’évaluation des territoires dans les processus d’aménagement
2015
National audience; Les politiques d’aménagement du territoire sont guidées depuis deux décennies par les objectifs du développement durable. Én¬oncé dans le rapport de G.H. Brundtland (1987) réalisé pour le compte des Nations-Unies, l’expression « développement du¬rable » définit en effet un « développe¬ment qui répond au besoin du présent sans compromettre la capacité des généra¬tions futures à satisfaire leurs propres be¬soins ». Trois sphères distinctes mais qui se chevauchent sont identifiées, dans les¬quelles les principes de développement du¬rable doivent être appliqués : l’économique, le social et l’environnemental, la combi¬naison des trois faisant théoriquement at¬teindre le niveau…
O* - Dynamical Systems and * - Derivations of Unbounded Operator Algebras
1999
A spatial theory is developed for * - derivations of an algebra of unbounded operators, in terms of the concept of O*-dynamical systems. Three notions of spatiality emerge, depending on the nature of the corresponding generator. Special emphasis is put on O*-dynamical systems generated by one-parameter groups of *-automorphisms and their *-derivations.
Urban growth (1956-1998) in the metropolitan area of Alacant-Elx (Comunitat Valenciana)

Assessment of natural hazards in urban planning policies of the municipalities in the province of Alicante (Spain). Legislation and risk mapping
2018
Los espacios urbanos se han convertido en territorios proclives al daño económico y pérdida de vidas humanas con ocasión de episodios de rango extremo de origen natural. Ello es debido a la acumulación de población y actividades en el medio urbano y a la deficiente planificación urbana, que no ha tenido en cuenta, hasta fechas muy recientes, el problema de la peligrosidad natural y sus efectos territoriales en los procesos de asignación de usos en el suelo. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar el grado de cumplimiento de la obligación de incorporar cartografía de riesgo en la documentación de planeamiento urbanístico en la provincia de Alicante a partir de 2008. Para ello, se ha co…
Understanding trends and drivers of urban poverty in American cities
2022
Urban poverty arises from the uneven distribution of poor populations across neighborhoods of a city. We study the trend and drivers of urban poverty across American cities over the last 40 years. To do so, we resort to a family of urban poverty indices that account for features of incidence, distribution, and segregation of poverty across census tracts. Compared to the universally-adopted concentrated poverty index, these measures have a solid normative background. We use tract-level data to assess the extent to which demographics, housing, education, employment, and income distribution affect levels and changes in urban poverty. A decomposition study allows to single out the effect of cha…
Distribution of clay minerals in Early Jurassic Peritethyan seas: palaeoclimatic significance inferred from multiproxy comparisons.
2009
13 pages; International audience; A set of published, unpublished, and new clay mineral data from 60 European and Mediterranean localities allows us to test the reliability of clay minerals as palaeoclimatic proxies for the Pliensbachian–Toarcian period (Early Jurassic) by reconstructing spatial and temporal variations of detrital fluxes at the ammonite biochronozone resolution. In order to discuss their palaeoclimatic meaning, a compilation of low-latitude belemnite δ18O, δ13C, Mg/Ca, and 87Sr/86Sr values is presented for the first time for the whole Pliensbachian– Toarcian period. Once diagenetic and authigenic biases have been identified and ruled out, kaolinite content variation is cons…
Lire les lignes de la Ville
2017
National audience; La ville est un système très riche qui regroupe une multitude d’éléments en interactions les uns avec les autres. Elle peut être lue de diverses manières, et, selon le regard porté, révéler ses qualités politiques, culturelles, sociales... L’angle de vue que nous avons choisi pour ce travail est celui morphologique.
Exploiting historical rainfall and landslide data in a spatial database for the derivation of critical rainfall thresholds
2017
Critical rainfall thresholds for landslides are powerful tools for preventing landslide hazard. The thresholds are commonly estimated empirically starting from rainfall events that triggered landslides in the past. The creation of the appropriate rainfall–landslide database is one of the main efforts in this approach. In fact, an accurate agreement between the landslide and rainfall information, in terms of location and timing, is essential in order to correctly estimate the rainfall–landslide relationships. A further issue is taking into account the average moisture conditions prior the triggering event, which reasonably may be crucial in determining the sufficient amount of precipitation.…
Nella città proibita. Conoscibilità, accessibilità e progetto come condizioni per la valorizzazione e il riuso del patrimonio fragile dei beni confis…
2022
In relazione ad una ricerca internazionale volta ad indagare modi di costituzione e di crisi del Pubblico, inteso come insieme di edifici, spazi pubblici, funzioni, processi e pratiche, l’articolo discute la fragilità e la marginalità intrinseche e di fruizione del patrimonio dei beni confiscati, inteso come terzo patrimonio, riconducendole alle sue conoscibilità e accessibilità. Facendo riferimento al territorio comunale di Palermo, la città europea con il più alto numero di beni confiscati alla criminalità mafiosa, l’articolo argomenterà dapprima in termini generali il rapporto fra la frammentazione e l’inadeguatezza dei processi di inventario e la sostanziale inconsapevolezza che consegu…
Efficient transfer of positrons from a buffer-gas-cooled accumulator into an orthogonally oriented superconducting solenoid for antihydrogen studies
2012
Positrons accumulated in a room-temperature buffer-gas-cooled positron accumulator are efficiently transferred into a superconducting solenoid which houses the ATRAP cryogenic Penning trap used in antihydrogen research. The positrons are guided along a 9 m long magnetic guide that connects the central field lines of the 0.15 T field in the positron accumulator to the central magnetic field lines of the superconducting solenoid. Seventy independently controllable electromagnets are required to overcome the fringing field of the large-bore superconducting solenoid. The guide includes both a 15° upward bend and a 105° downward bend to account for the orthogonal orientation of the positron accu…
