    An increasing part of European electricity is provided by renewable sources, whose output varies considerably. In order to offset these variations, gas can be used as an auxiliary source of energy for power production, but extra power can also be used to produce hydrogen or methane for storage. As a consequence, gas and power networks are growing more and more interdependent and thus need to be modelled together in order to make meaningful predictions. A growing body of literature deals with the modelling and simulation of such coupled networks, but the main focus of most sources is accuracy. On the other hand, Gasunie and TenneT’s Infrastructure Outlook report aimed to study hourly snapshots of a coupled network over one year, in a variety of different scenarios. Therefore, a simplified and computationally inexpensive model was needed. Literature dealing with such models is lacking, so a linear model consisting of transport load minimization was constructed for this purpose. It was used for both gas and power simulations, but it is inadequate for the latter.In this thesis, the transport load model is combined with the standard DC model of power flow in order to obtain more accurate results. The resulting combined linear model is tested on small sample networks, showing that it is functional given a set of modelling assumptions. In addition, the transport load model is compared to the DC model in a sample set of Dutch power networks. A large difference is observed between the two, confirming that there is no reason to use transport load as a model for electricity. Further research is needed to evaluate the accuracy of the transport load model for gas.Applied Mathematics | Computational Science and Engineerin

    This business plan project was developed under the author’s objective of offering equestrians an innovative, complete and compelling platform to enhance their practice of horse riding in every aspect of this sport. This project truly is an innovation as, despite an unprecedented growth of online platforms and eLearning since the Covid-19 pandemic, no complete online platform dedicated to Equestrian exists, leaving a gap in the market. Currently, there are only a limited number of platforms aiming to enhance horse riding practice, all with a restricted scope of action: the practice, the theory, or the commerce but never everything at once. Although, the market of horse-riding is worth interest as it is the third French sports federation, and the first sports federation for women. The author identified three key areas where the platform could be used: learning, social interactions, and e-commerce. The success of Equiworld relies on the extensive comprehension of the market, the consumers, and the concepts and stakes of such a project. To ensure that point, the author reviewed academic literature, studied the horse-riding market in France, did some in-depth customer research and a rich benchmark. This resulted in developing a full strategy for Equiworld which is expected to be very successful. Ultimately, this project is part of the MSc in Marketing and aims to serve as a guide to the implementation of this company.Este projecto de plano de negócios foi desenvolvido com o objectivo do autor de oferecer aos equestres uma plataforma inovadora, completa e convincente para melhorar a sua prática de equitação em todos os aspectos deste desporto. Este projecto é verdadeiramente uma inovação pois, apesar de um crescimento sem precedentes das plataformas online e eLearning desde a pandemia de Covid-19, não existe nenhuma plataforma online completa dedicada à equitação, deixando uma lacuna no mercado. Actualmente existe apenas um número limitado de plataformas com o objectivo de melhorar a prática equestre, todas com um âmbito de acção restrito: a prática, a teoria, ou o comércio, mas nunca tudo de uma só vez. Embora o mercado da equitação seja digno de interesse, uma vez que é a terceira federação desportiva francesa, e a primeira federação desportiva para mulheres. O autor identificou três áreas-chave onde a plataforma poderia ser utilizada: aprendizagem, interacções sociais, e comércio electrónico. O sucesso do Equiworld assenta na compreensão extensiva do mercado, dos consumidores, dos conceitos e das apostas de um tal projecto. Para garantir este ponto, o autor reviu a literatura académica, estudou o mercado de equitação em França, fez uma pesquisa aprofundada dos clientes e uma rica referência. Isto resultou no desenvolvimento de uma estratégia completa para o Equiworld, que se espera seja muito bem sucedida. Em última análise, este projecto faz parte do MSc em Marketing e pretende servir de guia para a implementação desta empresa

    L’article d’Apolline Malevez, « La Bibliothèque d’Émile Verhaeren  : de l’intimité de la création à l’élaboration d’une image publique  », aborde, sous l’angle de l’histoire de l’art, la question de la mise en scène de l’auteur à travers l’étude comparée des portraits d’Émile Verhaeren dans son environnement de travail par Théo Van Rysselberghe, d’une part, par Marthe Massin, l’épouse du poète, d’autre part. L’article commence par contextualiser les représentations, à la fin du 19e siècle, d’hommes dans leur cabinet de travail comme lieu masculin, à la fois marqueur de classe, de statut et d’identité. L’article montre ensuite combien les portraits de Van Rysselberghe de Verhaeren, destinés à la circulation, fonctionnent à la fois comme témoignage d’amitié et comme stratégie de visibilisation pour le poète comme pour le peintre et ils participent à un imaginaire assez codifié de l’écrivain. Par contraste, les portraits intimes réalisés par Marthe Massin réintroduisent l’univers domestique dans la représentation du poète.Apolline Malevez's article, "La Bibliothèque d'Émile Verhaeren: de l'intimité de la création à l'élaboration d'une image publique" ("The Library of Émile Verhaeren: from the intimacy of creation to the elaboration of a public image"), addresses, from an Art History perspective, the question of the staging of the author through a comparative study of portraits, on the one hand, of Émile Verhaeren in his working environment by Théo Van Rysselberghe, and, on the other hand, by Marthe Massin, the poet's wife. The article begins by contextualising the late 19th century representations of men in their study considered as a masculine place, a marker of class, status and identity. The article then shows how Verhaeren's portraits of Van Rysselberghe, intended for exhibition, functioned both as a testimony of friendship and as a strategy for making the poet and the painter visible, participating in a fairly codified imaginary of the writer. By contrast, Marthe Massin's intimate portraits reintroduce the domestic universe into the representation of the poet

    Mountainous regions are unique places due to their abundant natural resources, includingenergy, water, and biodiversity. However, they are facing harsh environmental conditions,including steep terrain and low temperatures, as well as a high energy demand. To meetthis demand while minimizing greenhouse gas emissions, it is necessary to develop localrenewable energy production. Solar energy is a promising resource due to its wide availabilityand decreasing costs. However, the mountainous environment can affect its potential. In thisthesis, the author aimed to quantify the influence of mountainous characteristics on solar energyresources.First, the optimization of ground-mounted bifacial solar power plants was studied, whichoffer enhanced energy yield due to ground-reflected irradiance on the rear side of the modulesand benefit from the high albedo of snow cover. A model was developed to optimize the tiltangle for various albedo levels and ground coverage ratios. This model enables optimizationboth at European scale and at a finer local scale, particularly for the analysis of mountainousareas, where high spatial variability is observed.Next, a tool was developed for modeling solar resources at the municipal scale, accountingfor the specific characteristics of mountainous environments: large territories, significant spatialvariability in meteorological conditions and the presence of mountains, which cause shadingand sunlight obstructions at low solar elevations. This tool, named “toscana”, evaluates the solarpotential on all surfaces with high spatial resolution, while ensuring reasonable computationtime, and has been made publicly available.This tool was then applied to assess rooftop solar resources in numerous mountainousvillages and compare them with those in lowland villages at similar latitudes. The developmentof meteorological and morphological indicators combined with their correlation to solar potentialshowed that mountainous terrain not only affects the overall potential but also impact its spatialdistribution across the territory. Notably, cluster analysis demonstrated that complex topographycould lead to substantial differences in solar potential within a single village. A predictive modelbased on three key indicators was established, enabling fast estimation of solar potential at themunicipal scale, and was then applied to assess the solar potential of an entire region.Finally, the author conducted a detailed analysis of the influence of three key characteristicsof mountainous areas on photovoltaic potential: the effect of low temperatures, the high groundalbedo due to snow and snow-related losses caused by module coverage. Theeffects of module orientation and inclination, as well as the temporal evolution of energy yield, were also studied.This thesis highlights the significant impact of mountainous environments on solar resourcesand underscores the importance of developing dedicated tools and specific energy policies tosupport solar energy deployment in these unique regions.Les régions de montagne sont des territoires uniques en raison de la richesse de leurs ressources naturelles, à la fois énergétiques, hydrologiques et de biodiversité. Cependant, elles doivent faire face à des conditions environnementales difficiles, caractérisées par des terrains escarpés, de faibles températures et une forte demande énergétique. Pour répondre à cette demande tout en limitant les émissions de gaz à effet de serre, il devient donc nécessaire de développer localement la production d'énergies renouvelables. L'énergie solaire constitue une ressource prometteuse grâce à sa grande disponibilité et à son coût décroissant. Cependant,l'environnement montagneux peut affecter son potentiel. Dans ces travaux de thèse, l'auteure a cherché à quantifier l'influence des caractéristiques des zones de montagne sur la ressource solaire.Dans un premier temps, l'optimisation des centrales solaires bifaciales au sol a été étudiée,lesquelles permettent une production accrue grâce à l'irradiance réfléchie par le sol sur la face arrière et peuvent bénéficier d'un albédo élevé en présence de neige. Un modèle a été développé afin d'optimiser l'angle d'inclinaison pour différentes valeurs d'albédo et de taux de couverture au sol. Ce modèle permet une optimisation à l'échelle européenne ou à une échelle plus locale, en particulier pour l'analyse des régions de montagne, qui présentent de fortes variations spatiales.Dans un second temps, un outil a été développé pour modéliser la ressource solaire à l'échelle d'un village, prenant en compte les spécificités des zones de montagne: de vastes territoires, une forte variabilité spatiale des conditions météorologiques et la présence des reliefs qui provoquent de l'ombrage et obstruent le rayonnement aux faibles élévations du soleil. Cet outil, nommé« toscana », permet d'évaluer le potentiel solaire sur l'ensemble des surfaces avec une haute résolution spatiale tout en maintenant des temps de calcul raisonnables, et a été mis à disposition du public en libre accès. Cet outil a ensuite été utilisé pour analyser la ressource solaire entoiture dans de nombreux villages de montagne et pour comparer ces résultats avec ceux de villages situés en plaine, à la même latitude. Le développement d'indicateurs météorologiques et morphologiques, ainsi que leur corrélation avec le potentiel solaire ont montré que le relief impacte non seulement le niveau global du potentiel solaire en toiture, mais aussi la répartition spatiale de la ressource au sein des villages. En particulier, l'analyse par clustering a permis de démontrer que d'importants reliefs peuvent engendrer de fortes disparités de potentiel au sein d'un même village. Un modèle prédictif, basé sur trois indicateurs clés, a été établi pour permettre une estimation rapide du potentiel solaire à l'échelle municipale, et a pu être utilisé pour évaluer le potentiel d'une région entière. Enfin, l'auteure a mené une analyse détaillée de l'impact de trois caractéristiques des zones de montagne sur le potentiel photovoltaïque: l'effet des faibles températures, le fort albédo du sol dû à la neige et les pertes liées à l'accumulation de neige sur les modules. L'effet de l'orientation et de l'inclinaison des modules, ainsi que l'évolution temporelle du rendement ont également été étudiés.Cette thèse a permis de démontrer l'impact significatif de la montagne sur la ressource solaire et de mettre en évidence la nécessité de développer des outils spécifiques ainsi que des politiques énergétiques adaptées à ces territoires particuliers

    Translating Roberto Arlt : inventing a language?

    No full text
    Célèbre pour ses romans iconoclastes, Roberto Arlt (1900-1942) l’est également pour les chroniques qu’il publie régulièrement dans la presse argentine. Souvent cyniques, parfois désabusés mais jamais dépourvus d’humour, les textes de notre corpus – entre fiction, autofiction et tableaux de mœurs – offrent une singulière réinvention de la tradition littéraire et de la « langue des Argentins ». Autodidacte et fils d’immigrés européens non-hispanophones, Arlt est encore souvent présenté comme un écrivain ne sachant pas écrire. Et, quoique son œuvre soit désormais considérée comme l’un des piliers de la littérature nationale, la suspicion qui s’est longtemps imposée à l’égard de sa qualité linguistique et narrative a sans doute contribué à différer sa traduction française. De fait, cette dernière n’a été initiée – par le célèbre traductologue Antoine Berman en collaboration avec son épouse, Isabelle – que près de quarante ans après la mort de l’écrivain et demeure, aujourd’hui encore, inachevée. L’analyse que nous proposons s’appuie sur un corpus constitué de quatre ouvrages – trois romans et un recueil de chroniques – ainsi que de leur traduction française et s’organise autour de la notion d’événement. Au-delà des idées reçues et de la légende maudite (en partie fomentée par l’écrivain lui-même), la première partie de ce travail cherche à comprendre comment et avec quoi fonctionne « l’événement-Arlt ». La seconde partie tente de déterminer si les traductions françaises des œuvres de Arlt appartenant à notre corpus parviennent à traduire cet « événement ». Il ne s’agit point de confronter la traduction à la facticité des textes originaux mais bien d’évaluer sa capacité à faire fonctionner « l’événement-Arlt » dans une autre langue-culture. Il s’agit enfin de proposer, si besoin est, des alternatives visant à préserver, dans la traduction française, le fonctionnement dudit événement. Enfin, la troisième partie de ce travail, après une rapide présentation des principales théories de la traduction, évoque la difficile application de ces dernières au cas concret des textes de notre corpus. Puis elle propose une réflexion théorique autour de la traduction de « l’événement Arlt » en particulier et de la traduction en général.Famous for his iconoclastic novels, Roberto Arlt (1900-1942) is also well known for the essays he regularly published in the Argentinian press. The texts that constitute this thesis’s corpus combine fiction, self-fiction and the depiction of everyday life. Moreover, their tone is sceptical, sometimes pessimistic, and often humorous. Altogether, this corpus of Arlt’s writings offers a singular reinvention of the Argentinian literary tradition and “language”. Arlt is still described as a writer who does not master proper writing, an argument often related to the fact that he was a self-taught man and the son of European immigrants who did not have Spanish as mother tongue. Even if his work is considered as one of the cornerstones of Argentinian literature, the enduring suspicion over the linguistic and narrative quality of his writings has undoubtedly contributed to the delay of the translation of his work into French. In fact, it was no sooner than forty years after Arlt had passed away, that Antoine Berman and his wife Isabelle undertook this endeavour. Even today, the translation of his work remains unfinished. The analysis we propose is based on a corpus of four of Arlt’s original texts and their translation into French: three novels and a collection of essays. Our argument is organised around the notion of “event”. Beyond misjudgements on his work and the dark legend built around him (which was sometimes promoted by the author himself), the first part of this thesis seeks to understand how and with what the “Arlt event” functions. The second part explores whether the French translations included in our corpus succeed in the translation of this “event”. This analysis will try to avoid a direct confrontation between the translation and the linearity of the original texts, but will rather proceed by evaluating its ability to make function the “Arlt event” in another language and culture. We will propose an alternative which preserves the functioning of this event when translating Arlt’s work into French. The third part of this thesis presents some of the most important theories of translation and shows the problems that emerge when applied to the texts included in our corpus. To conclude, we propose a theoretical reflection on the translation of the “Arlt event” and on translation more broadly

    Zooarchaeological evidences for the commercial integration and re-integration of the Province of Campania between the Vesuvian eruptions of 79 and 472 CE

    O padrão cerâmico na província da Campânia é bem conhecido, sobretudo levando-se em conta as seriações propostas por Paul Arthur utilizando-se do sítio de Carminiello Ai Manesi, complexo termal, ponto de início para a construção de interpretações que se utilizam destes dados como fontes também para as mudanças na alimentação e economia da Campânia. Nossa atenção será contrapor as propostas do Padrão Carminiello à coleção zooarqueológica, inédita até esta publicação, do sítio de Pollena Trocchia, localizado na região de Masseria de Carolis, ocupado entre as erupções vesuvianas do primeiro e quinto século. Correlacionando mudanças na morfologia cerâmica e alterações na dieta local, Arthur hipotetiza uma crescente consolidação rumo a uma dieta baseada no consumo de ovi-caprinos, refletida no aumento do uso de caçarolas adaptadas para aquilo que o autor chama de preparações semilíquidas e na retração do consumo de suínos. A presente pesquisa compara os dados obtidos nas escavações e análises laboratoriais conduzidas pelo Apolline Project em Pollena com o Padrão Carminiello, apresentando algumas hipóteses de relativização e pormenorização deste padrão, advindas do estudo do material zooarqueológico do sítio de Pollena, discutindo sobre como a variação do dito padrão pode nos ser um guia em compreender a situação de interligação comercial da província da Campânia em relação ao resto do Império, como vislumbrar aspectos de suas diferenciações internas de consumo e perguntando sobre os efeitos das erupções na reestruturação das atividades econômicas posteriores, afetadas pelas dinâmicas de investimento dentro do Império.The ceramical pattern for the province of Campania is a well known, well documented resarch topic, especially taking into account the seriation proposed by Paul Arthur using the site of Carminiello Ai Manesi. This site, a thermal complex, has been for many years a starting point for the construction of long reaching interpretations about the Roman economy, as for the questioning of changes in the Campanian food production and internal wealth. Our attention will be to contrast the Carminiello pattern proposals with the recovered zooarchaeological collection, unpublished until this thesis, from the Pollena Trocchia site, located in the Masseria de Carolis region, dated from between the Vesuvian eruptions of the first and fifth centuries AD. Correlating changes in ceramic morphology and changes in the local diet, Arthur hypothesizes a growing consolidation towards a diet based on the consumption of sheep and goat, reflected in the increased use of casseroles adapted for what the author calls \"semi-liquid preparations\" and of a decline in the consumption of pork. This research compares the data obtained in the excavations and laboratory analyzes conducted by the Apolline Project in Pollena with the \"Carminiello Pattern\", presenting some hypotheses of relativization and detailing variations in the inner workings of this pattern, arising from the study of methods more fully geared towards the zooarchaeological evidence, discussing how the variation of the said pattern can be a guide in understanding the situation of commercial interconnection of the province of Campania in relation to the rest of the Empire, as well as attempting to glimpse aspects of its internal differentiations and markets, as well as asking about the effects of the eruptions of the Vesuvius on the restructuring of subsequent economic activities, affected by investment dynamics within the Empire
