Quantification of nitrogen fluxes and explanatory plant traits during a two year legume-cereal rotation
2018
National audience; A better understanding of how plant growth, N nutrition and symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) are influenced by soil inorganic N availability, for a wide range of legume species, is crucial to optimise legume productivity, N2 fixation, while limiting environmental risks such as N leaching. A comparative analysis was performed for ten legume crops, grown in a field experiment and supplied with four levels of N fertiliser. Dry matter, N concentration and SNF were measured. Parallely, root traits were studied in a greenhouse experiment. For most species, inorganic N inputs had little effect on plant growth and N nutrition. SNF was negatively affected by soil inorganic N avai…
New perspectives and approaches in plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria research
2007
International audience; In the context of increasing international concern for food and environmental quality, use of Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) for reducing chemical inputs in agriculture is a potentially important issue. PGPR are root-colonizing bacteria that exert beneficial effects on plant growth and development, but they can be also employed in the control of plant pathogens, for enhancing the efficiency of fertilizers, and for degrading xenobiotic compounds. This book provides an update by renowned international experts on the most recent advances in the ecology of these important bacteria, the application of innovative methodologies for their study, their interactio…
Comparaison de l’efficience de cinq souches de Rhizobium sur 18 génotypes de pois
2014
Legume-rhizobium association leads to the production of nodules on plant roots, in which atmospheric nitrogen is caught by the bacteria and exchanged for plant carbohydrates. This symbiotic association is probably the best way to increase nitrogen fertilization without using biological or chemical input. Symbiosis mechanisms between both species are thus a challenge for the current research. Previous studies have shown that rhizobia are not equally selected by the different pea genotypes. The objective of this study was to assess if peas select the most efficient bacterial strain. In order to answer this question, we sowed 18 pea genotypes and inoculated each of them with five different rhi…
Biotechnological applications of the sepiolite interactions with bacteria: Bacterial transformation and DNA extraction
2020
International audience; Among the various clay minerals, sepiolite, which is a natural nanofibrous silicate that exhibit a poor cell toxicity, is a potential promising nanocarrier for the non-viral and stable transfer of plasmid DNA into bacteria, mammalian and human cells. We first show here that sepiolite binds to bacteria, which can be useful in decontamination protocols. In a previous research we have shown that is possible to modulate the efficiency of the absorption of different types of DNA molecules onto sepiolite, and that the DNA previously adsorbed could be recovered preserving the DNA structure and biological activity. Taking advantage of both, the sepiolite/bacteria and sepioli…
Légumineuses et prairies temporaires : des fournitures d'azote pour les rotations
2015
Intervention présentée aux Journées de l'AFPF, "La fertilité des sols dans les systèmes fourragers", les 8 et 9 avril 2015; Les atouts des légumineuses (fixation symbiotique, diversité fonctionnelle...) leur permettent de contribuer à la fertilité des sols, à l'amélioration de la durabilité de l'agriculture et de l'autonomie protéique des systèmes alimentaires. Il convient donc de mieux connaître leurs rôles, directs et indirects, dans les flux d'azote des rotations.Les légumineuses fourragères (en culture pure ou dans des couverts multispécifiques) représentent une grande part des apports azotés symbiotiques. Il existe une grande diversité d'implication des légumineuses dans les rotations.…
Observateur et contrôle optimal : améliorer l'efficacité de la conduite automobile avec Kalman et Pontryagin
2010
The PhD presents a combined approach to improving individual car efficiency. An optimal observer, the Extended Kalman Filter, is used to create an efficiency model for the car. Particular attention was paid to handling the asynchronous and redundant nature of the measurement data. A low-cost sensor suite developed to measure data is described. This sensor suite was installed on multiple vehicles to good success. It employsan accelerometer, gps, fuel injector timer, and Vss input to measure all the data necessary to reconstruct the car's state. This observer and sensor suite can be used as the base for any study which requires car efficiency maps, allowing research to proceed without manufac…
Improving IoT Communications Based on Smart Routing Algorithms
2018
International audience; Due to the recorded success by Internet of Things (IoT) technology, more and more domains use it as a communications and exchange network such as e-health, smart cities, vehicles, etc. IoT don’t stop integrating an important number of components and objects that are characterized by their complexity and heterogeneity. Such constraints make the existing routings protocols unsuitable for IoT communications. To accomplish all the expected tasks and satisfy the user services, it is important to guarantee a quality of communication that answers to the requirements of the various applications in terms of data and processing (availability, integrity, efficiency, etc.). The …
Contribution à la compréhension de l'influence des paramètres de formulation et de procédé sur la structure et les propriétés fonctionnelle de films …
2012
The aim of this study is the analysis of structure and transfer mechanisms through chitosan based food packaging materials with incorporated carvacrol as a model of antimicrobial active substance. Integration of composition parameters, structure, processing and drying of chitosan systems is correlated to its physico chemical and functional properties. Understanding and detailed analyses of processing parameters is crucial in production of active chitosan coatings applied on conventional materials such as polyethylene. So, the knowledge of composition and microstructure in association to environmental conditions, control the retention and the release kinetics of carvacrol from chitosan film.…

Competence Acquisition through Autonomy in the Self-regulated Learning Process
2012
La autorregulación académica se ha establecido como una de las competencias básicas en el sistema educativo bajo el nuevo paradigma del Espacio Europeo de Enseñanza Superior. La autorregulación del aprendizaje no es una capacidad mental, como la inteligencia, o una habilidad, como la lectura, sino un proceso autodirigido a través del cual los aprendices transforman sus capacidades mentales en habilidades académicas. En la investigación que aquí se presenta, se consideran específicamente las dimensiones motivacionales (orientación intrínseca y extrínseca, valor otorgado a las tareas, locus de control para el aprendizaje, autoeficacia para el aprendizaje y ansiedad ante las evaluaciones) diri…
