No full textDans ce travail, il est question d'étudier la faisabilité d'une valorisation en techniques routières de granulats de Mâchefers d'Incinération des Dèchets Non Dangereux (MIDND). Cette étude se base en premier lieu sur une analyse expérimentale ayant permis d'obtenir leurs propriétés élastiques. Ces propriétés servent de données d'entrée à une modélisation multi-échelle hiérarchique développée pour étudier le comportement mécanique de graves base de MIDND traitées aux liants (ciment et bitume). La campagne expérimentale originale sur des particules de mâchefers a permis de les cartographier au Microscope Electronique à Balayage (MEB Pour ces particules, des modules d'élasticité moyens réduits variant de 15 à 68 GPa ont été trouvés par le biais de tests d'indentation en appliquant méthode de «Olivier and Pharr ». Les analyses chimiques ponctuelles qualitatives (EDS) effectuées ont permis d'obtenir la composition chimique des granulats de mâchefers. Partant d'une granulométrie de particules de MIDND 0/25 qui a fait l'objet d'une étude expérimentale [BEC 07], nous avons mis en place des modèles numériques 3D de grave routière traitée aux liants dans des Volumes Elémentaires Représentatifs (VER). Ces modèles sont basés sur une stratégie de modélisation dite « multi-échelles » hiérarchique. Deux types de liant sont étudiés : le ciment CEM 1 42,5 R et le bitume de [NGU 08). Pour les deux types de liant, les agrégats traités ont été décomposés en deux VER : sub-mesoscopique (0/6) et mesoscopique (6/25). Une application à valorisation des MIDND en techniques routières est faite dans les deux cas. Avec un traitement à 3% de ciment, une campagne de simulations numériques "Laboratoire virtuel" a été menée. A l'échelle sub-mesoscopique, des simulations multiaxiales menées sur le VER, ont conduit à l'obtention des paramètres permettant d'alimenter un modèle d'endommagement plastique utilisé à l'échelle mesoscopique pour différents degrés d'hydratation. A l'échelle mesoscopique, les caractéristiques mécaniques de la grave routière traitée au ciment, habituellement déterminées par le biais d'expérimentations, ont été retrouvées. La modélisation développée a ensuite été validée e comparant nos résultats numériques et quelques résultats expérimentaux de [BEC 07]. Avec un traitement à 5% de bitume, des tests de relaxation de contraintes ont été effectués aux deux échelles ct ont permis d'obtenir les propriétés thermo-rhéologiques de la grave de mâchefers traités au bitume : les modules de relaxation sont exprimés sous la forme de séries de Prony à une température de référence de 0 °C ; par ailleurs, les constantes de la loi Williams-Landel-Ferry (WLF) pour décrire le comportement thermo- rhéologiquement simple sont identifiées. Les séries de Prony sont obtenues par l'intermédiaire des modules élastiques normalisés. Les constantes de 1 WLF obtenues sont C 1 = 20 °C-1 ct C2 = 130 °C. La validation des paramètres identifiés a été faite en comparant les réponses du matériau hétérogène de grave-bitume et celles d'un matériau homogène à qui nous avons donné les propriétés identifiées tirées du matériau hétérogène.In this work, the feasibility of a valorisation in road engineering of non-hazardous waste incineration bottom ash aggregates (NHWI) is investigated. This study is first based on an experimental determination of the elastic properties of the bottom ash particles. These properties serve as input data for hierarchical multi-scale modelling developed to study the mechanical behaviour of aggregates treated with binders (cement and bitumen). The original experimental campaign on the bottom ash particles allowed them to be mapped to the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). For the particles, a mean reduced modulus of elasticity in between 15 and 68 GPa was found by means of indentation tests and applying the "Olivier and Phan method. The chemical analysis of the aggregates was obtained using qualitative point chemical analyzes (OHS). Based on a 0/25 particle size distribution of NHWI, which was the subject of an experimental study [BEC 07] , we have implemented two 30 models < road materials treated with binders in Representative Elementary Volumes (REV). These models are based on a hierarchical multi-scale modelling strategy. Two types of binder are studied: cement CEM I 42.5 R and bitumen of [NGU 08]. For both types of binder, the treated aggregates we divided into two REV, at respectively the sub-mesoscale (0/6 mm) and the mesoscale (6/25 mm). An application to the valorisation of NHWI bottom ashes in road engineering is studied in both cases. With a 3% cement treatment, a numerical simulation campaign "Virtual Laboratory" was conducted. At the sub-mesoscale, the input parameters for the Concrete Damaged Plasticity Model used at the mesoscale are determined. At the mesoscale, the mechanical characteristics of the road materials usually determined through experiments have been found. The developed simulation strategy has been validated by comparing our numerical results and son experimental results of [BEC 07]. With a 5% bitumen treatment, stress relaxation tests carried out at the two scales enable one to obtain the thermo-rheological properties of the Bitumen Bound Gravel. These properties are the Prony series at a reference temperature of 0°C and the Williams-Landei- Ferry (WLF) law constants. Prony series are obtained by means of standardized elastic moduli. The obtained WLF law constants are Cl = 20 °C-1 and C2 = 130 °C. The numeric simulations have been validated by comparing the responses of heterogeneous and corresponding homogeneous materials

Ballasted Railways in Senegal - Characterization of Bandia Limestone and Diack Basalt for Use as Ballast Materials
Get PDFInternational audienceThis paper first presents a more or less detailed inventory of the situation on ballasted railways in Senegal. This field research work highlights the particular heterogeneity that characterizes the arming of ballasted tracks, but also and above all the influence of environmental factors that pollute and degrade the tracks. The significant efforts made to moderate the railways are presented with the introduction of the Regional Express Train between Dakar and Blaise Diagne International Airport. An experimental work of characterization of aggregates is presented in a second step. The grain size studied is 25/50 mm as for any material studied for use as railway ballast. The materials studied come from Senegalese quarries and the objective is to see if they can be used as ballast materials in railways. With a hardness of 0.85, initial results show that Limestone from the Bandia quarries (Sindia, Thiès Region) does not have the characteristics required to be used as ballast. The hardness of Basalt from the Diack quarries (Ngoundiane, Thiès Region) is 17.11. The Diack Basalt gives also good physical and mechanical characteristics (cleanliness, absorption, density, Deval and Los Angeles). For Senegalese public works, Diack Basalt is a good material for railway ballast
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
