Tropospheric ozone distributions over Europe during the heat wave in July 2007 observed from infrared nadir spectra recorded by IASI
No full textInternational audienceFirst partial tropospheric ozone columns (0-6 km) derived from radiances observed by the IASI instrument aboard the MetOp-A platform over Europe during summer 2007 are presented. They were retrieved using an altitude-dependent regularization method. Comparison with measurements from balloon sondes shows excellent agreement. Space-borne observations show large lower tropospheric ozone amounts over SouthEastern Europe during the heat wave period, which are also displayed by simulations with a regional chemistry-transport model CHIMERE.

The silence of the forest : a translation from French to English with analysis and literature review
No full textThe Central African Republic is a small country located in the center of Africa. It is a very young nation in terms of political independence, but as the CAR emerges as a nation, it has begun to produce valuable authors who write for the French speaking world. This thesis is an attempt to bring part of the CAR's literature to the United States.Le Silence de la Foret was written by Etienne Goyemide and not only describes the culture of the mainstream population of the CAR, but also that of Pygmies. Although the book is a novel, the cultural aspects are not fictitious. This thesis is a translation of Goyemide's novel into English so that it can be made accessible to the English speaking world.The process of translating such a literary work required and increased knowledge and understanding of both French and English. In attempting to capture the style and tone of the author, careful attention was given to such aspects as tense, syntactic structures, register and vocabulary. A chapter of the thesis is devoted to describing the problems encountered during translation and the reasoning for the translations chosen.Thesis (M.A.)Department of Englis
Observation of the onset of strong scattering on high frequency acoustic phonons in densified silica glass
No full textRecently, a near-field optical technique which allows spectroscopic measurements with 20 nm spatial resolution. As such, the method makes use of the strongly enhanced electric field close to a sharp metal tip under laser illumination and relies on the detection of two-photon excited fluorescence. This paper shows the chemical specificity of this near-field technique and demonstrate an unprecedented spatial resolution
The effect of a change in sleep-wakefulness timing, bright light and physical exercise interventions on 24-hour patterns of performance, mood and body temperature
No full textExperiments consisting of baseline, bright light and physical exercise studies were carried out to compare the effect of a 9-hour delay in sleep-wakefulness timing, and the effects of bright light and physical exercise interventions on 24-hour patterns of performance, mood and body temperature were examined. Each study comprised a 24-hour constant routine at the beginning followed by 3 night shifts and 24-hour constant routine at the end. Performance on tasks differing in cognitive load, mood and body temperature was measured during each constant routine and the interventions were applied during the night shifts. The 24-hour pattern of alertness and performance on the tasks with low cognitive load in post-treatment conditions followed the change in sleep-wakefulness timing while more cognitively loaded tasks tended to show a reverse trend when compared to pre-treatment conditions. There was a phase delay around 4 hours in circadian rhythms of body temperature in post-treatment conditions
Veneer-based timber circular hollow section beams: Behaviour, modelling and design
No full textVarious forms of timber hollow structural profiles have either been proposed in the literature or are already commercially available. Tests performed on Circular Hollow Section (CHS) beams showed failure modes not usually encountered in timber structures. For relatively thin-walled profiles, a sudden failure in the compression zone, with the opening of the cross-section, was observed. To confidently use and market CHS timber products, design rules considering all possible failure modes must be developed. This paper presents a Finite Element (FE) model of CHS timber beams which captures all experimentally observed failure modes. Cohesive zone elements were used to model the quasi-brittle failure modes of the timber material. The model was validated against ten experimental tests performed on CHS of three different cross-sectional slenderness and manufactured from juvenile hardwood Gympie messmate (Eucalyptus cloeziana) rotary peeled veneers. The model was found to accurately capture the measured structural behaviour and resulted in an average experimental-to-predicted bending capacity ratio of 1.02. The model was also used to explain the mechanisms leading to the sudden compressive failure mode. A parametric study was finally performed on 72 CHS beams of different cross-sectional slenderness. Results showed a strong correlation between the cross-sectional slenderness ratio and section capacity. Design rules are proposed and discussed.Full Tex

Bracket induction for Lambek calculus with bracket modalities
No full textRelativisation involves dependencies which, although unbounded, are constrained with respect to certain island domains. The Lambek calculus L can provide a very rudimentary account of relativisation limited to unbounded peripheral extraction; the Lambek calculus with bracket modalities Lb can further condition this account according to island domains. However in naïve parsing/theorem-proving by backward chaining sequent proof search for Lb the bracketed island domains, which can be indefinitely nested, have to be specified in the linguistic input. In realistic parsing word order is given but such hierarchical bracketing structure cannot be assumed to be given. In this paper we show how parsing can be realised which induces the bracketing structure in backward chaining sequent proof search with Lb
