L'industrie microtechnique en Franche-Comté : un système productif complexe en cours de structuration
2007
This article reviews nearly four decades of change in the microtechnical industry of Franche-Comté. The case of the reconversion of French clockmakers, industrial districts in real crisis and territorial development around microtechnical industries, sheds invaluable light on the difficulties of restructuring an industry, despite the pressure of voluntary politics.
Invasive Alien Species and Their Effects on Marine Animal Forests
2020
Nonindigenous species are increasingly transported around the world through multiple pathways by a diversity of vectors. Invasive species are a subset of those that are introduced into the receptor community, where they establish and increase their population to a size where they impact the native system. Marine invasive species can therefore interact with and modify native animal forests and/or create novel ones resulting in simple-to-complex changes in material cycling, energy flow, ecosystem structure, and function. Despite the ever increasing number of studies dealing with marine invasive species, mostly biological invasions are mentioned generically as one of a number of threats of dir…
LA FRAGMENTATION DES RÉSEAUX D'INNOVATION ET LA DYNAMIQUE DES SYSTÈMES TERRITORIAUX DE PRODUCTION ET D'INNOVATION DANS LES SECTEURS TRADITIONNELS
2016
Resumen: Para competir en la globalización, los sistemas territoriales de producción en sectores tradicionales deben convertirse en sistemas territoriales de producción y de innovación. Esto supone urdir redes de innovación más complejas entre actores heterogéneos (empresas, universidades, centros tecnológicos, etc.), lo que genera una tensión política de integración/fragmentación de dichas redes. Para contrastar esta hipótesis se combinan los enfoques evolucionista y del actor-red con el enfoque de la proximidad. La construcción de redes de innovación más amplias exige desarrollar nuevas comunidades de práctica. Este proceso puede generar una dinámica de fragmentación por medio del estable…
Fuzzy logic controller and game theory based distributed energy resources allocation
2020
Energy management and demand control through conventional energy generation sources are challenging for energy providers. Distributed energy resources (DERs) allocation near load centers may provide a suitable solution. The main contribution of the paper improves the voltage profile and reduce the active and reactive power losses in the distribution network. DERs are integrated with IEEE 33 bus system using fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and game theory for two different cases with unity and 0.9 power factor (PF) and compares with conventional methods of integration (i.e., modified novel method, power loss sensitivity method, voltage sensitivity analysis method). The capacity of DERs is optim…
Game Theory with Engineering Applications
2016
Engineering systems are highly distributed collective systems—decisions, information, and objectives are distributed throughout—that have humans in the loop, and thus decisions may be influenced by socioeconomic factors. Engineering systems emphasize the potential of control and games beyond traditional applications. Game theory can be used to design incentives to obtain socially desirable behaviors on the part of the players, for example, a change in the consumption patterns on the part of the “prosumers” (producers-consumers) or better redistribution of traffic. This unique book addresses the foundations of game theory, with an emphasis on the physical intuition behind the concepts, an an…
Productions en série vers 1500 avant notre ère. Des règles de fabrication au Bronze moyen entre la Manche et les Alpes à la lumière d’une étude morph…
2013
Some European Bronze Age objects were produced by what has been described as serial metalworking. One particularexample is the Middle Bronze Age palstave, massively produced and used in Western Europe during the mid-second millennium BC.These artefacts were often voluntarily buried together in hoards, meaning they were removed from the production network, thus avoidingany recycling. They are found intact, either as rough castings or ready for use. These homogeneous objects are grouped in sets of severalitems, or in tens, or even in hundreds. Such discoveries have immediately led to numerous questions as to the possible interpretation ofthis behaviour. It is clear that prehistoric craftsmen …

Potential production of biogas from prinkly pear (opuntia ficus-indica L.) in sicilian uncultivated areas
2017
The aim of this work is to evaluate the potential production of biogas and, indirectly, biomethane or electric and thermal energy, from prinkly pear (Opuntia ficus-indica L.), to be grown in a part of Sicilian uncultivated areas and co-digested together with the available livestock manure and slurry. In order to increase the Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and reduce the dependency from fossil ones, the conversion of biomass into biogas through Anaerobic Digestion (AD) process is paramount for producing biomethane, to be used as fuel for means of transport and agricultural machines or heating, or electric and thermal energy through Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants. Moreover, the digestat…

Comparative study between different methods for the efficiency of the production activity in the wood industry
2017
Generally speaking, the quality and cost of goods and in particular of the wood products is a decisive condition in their sales on the market, attracting buyers to satisfy their wishes and requirements. Starting from the general idea, by which it is considered that the manufacturing activity is effective if production is obtained at maximum quality with a low (minimum) cost, or when the revenue from the sale of products exceeds the market expenditure which is necessary to achieve it, this research article aims to study ways to make production more efficient by methods which could also be applied in the wood industry, by presenting a comparative study on production optimization methods in th…
