La questione del soprasensibile nella Preisschrift sui progressi della metafisica di Immanuel Kant
2011
Questo saggio intende mettere in evidenza, a partire da una lettura della Preisschrift über die Fortschritte der Metaphysik, il senso architettonico che la metafisica assume in Kant: la metafisica non lega la sua prestazione più eminente al possesso dogmatico di un dominio, sia esso quello teoretico degli oggetti della natura o anche quello pratico degli oggetti della morale, ma alla possibilità di illuminare la strada per il passaggio dall'uno all'altro ambito del conoscere, in una prospettiva critica che, se da un lato mette in rilievo i pericoli insiti negli eccessi dogmatici della ragione, dall'altro ricusa tuttavia l'idea di una metafisica del soprasensibile concepita sotto il segno di…
A critical analysis of three remote sensing-based actual evapotranspiration assessment methods over sparse crops agricultural areas
2010
During last two decades the increasing availability of remotely sensed acquisitions in the thermal infrared part of the spectrum has encouraged hydrologist community to develop models and methodologies based on these kind of data. The aim of this paper is to compare three methods developed to assess the actual evapotranspiration spatial distribution by means of remote sensing data. The comparison was focused on the differences between the "single" (SEBAL) and "two" source (TSEB) surface energy balance approaches and the S-SEBI semi-empirical method. The first assumes a semiempirical internal calibration for the sensible heat flux assessment; the second uses a physically based approach in or…
HAPEX-Sahel
1997
The variation in evaporative fraction and actual evaporation is examined for three sample days in the HAPEX-Sahel Intensive Observation Period (IOP), including data from all the vegetation types and sites. The trends in evaporative fraction over the IOP are also presented for eight sites. The high rate of evaporation from bare soil in the days following rainfall produces a variability in evaporation which makes differences between sites difficult to interpret on a day-to-day basis, but over the whole IOP it is shown that the millet uses a smaller proportion of the available energy for evaporation than the tiger bush or fallow savannah. The combined effect of differences in the total energy …
Combining a Two-Source Patch Model with Satellite Data to Monitor Daily Evapotranspiration at a Regional Scale
2008
In this work, we present a micro-meteorological approach for estimating surface energy fluxes that can be operationally used together with satellite images to monitor surface energy fluxes at a regional scale. In particular we will focus on the retrieval of daily evapotranspiration. The feasibility of the model is explored at a local scale using data collected over a maize crop in Beltsville, Maryland, USA, and a boreal forest in Sodankyla, Finland. Comparison of the results with ground measurements shows errors between plusmn15 and plusmn50 W m-2 for the retrieval of net radiation, soil heat flux, and sensible and latent heat fluxes in both sites. A methodology to apply the model to Landsa…
Spatial effects in housing price models : do housing prices capitalize urban development policies in the agglomeration of Dijon (1999) ?
2004
In this article we suppose that the integration of accessibility and neighborhood variables in hedonic housing models doesn't allow to take into account the spatial effects between the housing prices. Using a sample of 1520 transactions of apartments in the urban area of Dijon, we focus on two types of location variables : the distance to the CBD and the distance to several Disadvantaged Districts located in peripheral areas. We detect the presence of a spatial error autocorrelation in the hedonic model indicating that the valuation of the price of an apartment is locally influenced by the prices of the neighboring apartments. Then, we estimate a spatial error model which shows that the loc…
Superparameterised cloud effects in the EMAC general circulation model (v2.50) – influences of model configuration
2020
A new module has been implemented in the fifth generation of the ECMWF/Hamburg (ECHAM5)/Modular Earth Submodel System (MESSy) Atmospheric Chemistry (EMAC) model that simulates cloud-related processes on a much smaller grid. This so-called superparameterisation acts as a replacement for the convection parameterisation and large-scale cloud scheme. The concept of embedding a cloud-resolving model (CRM) inside of each grid box of a general circulation model leads to an explicit representation of cloud dynamics. The new model component is evaluated against observations and the conventional usage of EMAC using a convection parameterisation. In particular, effects of applying different configurat…
Penser l'altérité : de l'expérience sensible à la figure sensible de l'étranger
2016
International audience; La figure de l’étranger est une figure qui puise son sens dans une relation d’altérité familiarisée. De Simmel (1908) à Ricœur (1990) ou à Todorov (1989), l’étranger est cet Autre proche, qui renvoie en négatif à un Je ou à un Nous qui se construit dans la différence. Rêvée, recherchée, fantasmée, crainte, fuie ou haïe, la figure de l’étranger peut condenser toutes les aspirations et toutes les peurs. L’ambition de ce chapitre est de mieux comprendre les mécanismes représentationnels associés à cette figure bien particulière. Comment influencent-ils nos interactions sociales avec des « étrangers » ? Comment la figure sensible de l’étranger se déploie-t-elle au quotid…
Lieu de résidence et discrimination salariale
2010
Ziel dieses Artikels ist es, die Lohnabweichungen zwischen Jugendlichen, die in sensiblen städtischen Zonen wohnen, am Ende ihrer Ausbildung und denjenigen, die zwar nicht in einer solchen Zone leben, die aber in städtischen Einheiten mit solchen Zonen wohnen, unter Berücksichtigung möglicher Barrieren beim Zugang zu bestimmten Beschäftigungen und insbesondere zu den Arbeitsplätzen von Führungskräften zu untersuchen. In Anknüpfung an Brown, Moon und Zoloth (1980) schlagen wir eine Zerlegung der Lohnabweichungen vor, bei der die Möglichkeit einer Differenzierung beim Zugang zu bestimmten Beschäftigungen entsprechend der Art des Stadtviertels, in dem die Jugendlichen wohnen, berücksichtigt wi…
Effects of model configuration for superparametrised long-term simulations – Implementation of a cloud resolving model in EMAC (v2.50)
2019
Abstract. A new module has been implemented in the ECHAM5/MESSy Atmospheric Chemistry (EMAC) Model that simulates cloud related processes on a much smaller grid. This so called superparametrisation acts as a replacement for the convection parametrisation and large-scale cloud scheme. The concept of embedding an ensemble of cloud resolving models (CRMs) inside of each grid box of a general circulation model leads to an explicit representation of cloud dynamics. The new model component is evaluated against observations and the conventional usage of EMAC using a convection parametrisation. In particular, effects of applying different configurations of the superparametrisation are analyzed in a…
