Do decoupled payments really encourage farmers to work more off farm? A micro-level analysis of incentives and preferences
No full textAccording to neo-classical theory, farm operators’ labour allocation is determined by the relative wage they can earn from their labour on and off the farm. At the equilibrium, time should be allocated so that the marginal returns from on- and off-farm work are equal. Thus, a move from coupled to decoupled payments should have important impacts on labour allocation, as it reduces the return to farm labour and increases the unearned income of operators. However, empirical studies on decoupling have shown so far only limited impact from decoupling and sometimes contradictory findings. In this paper, individual preferences and constraints are taken into account to try and identify potential barriers to labour allocation adjustment. Empirical analysis based on the intentions to adjust to decoupling of a sample of French farmers confirms a limited impact of the change in policy and calls for further investigation of the potential barriers to adjustment.Decoupling, time allocation, farm operators, Agricultural and Food Policy, Labor and Human Capital,

The complex genetic architecture of shoot growth natural variation in Arabidopsis thaliana
No full textOne of the main outcomes of quantitative genetics approaches to natural variation is to reveal the genetic architecture underlying the phenotypic space. Complex genetic architectures are described as including numerous loci (or alleles) with small-effect and/or low-frequency in the populations, interactions with the genetic background, environment or age. Linkage or association mapping strategies will be more or less sensitive to this complexity, so that we still have an unclear picture of its extent. By combining high-throughput phenotyping under two environmental conditions with classical QTL mapping approaches in multiple Arabidopsis thaliana segregating populations as well as advanced near isogenic lines construction and survey, we have attempted to improve our understanding of quantitative phenotypic variation. Integrative traits such as those related to vegetative growth used in this work (highlighting either cumulative growth, growth rate or morphology) all showed complex and dynamic genetic architecture with respect to the segregating population and condition. The more resolutive our mapping approach, the more complexity we uncover, with several instances of QTLs visible in near isogenic lines but not detected with the initial QTL mapping, indicating that our phenotyping accuracy was less limiting than the mapping resolution with respect to the underlying genetic architecture. In an ultimate approach to resolve this complexity, we intensified our phenotyping effort to target specifically a 3Mb-region known to segregate for a major quantitative trait gene, using a series of selected lines recombined every 100kb. We discovered that at least 3 other independent QTLs had remained hidden in this region, some with trait- or condition-specific effects, or opposite allelic effects. If we were to extrapolate the figures obtained on this specific region in this particular cross to the genome- and species-scale, we would predict hundreds of causative loci of detectable phenotypic effect controlling these growth-related phenotypes. Author summary The question of the complexity of the genetic variants underlying diversity in plant size and shape is central in evolutionary biology to better understand the impacts of selection and adaptation. In this work, we have combined the high resolution of a robotized platform designed to grow Arabidopsis plants under strictly-controlled conditions and the power of quantitative genetics approaches to map the individual genetic components (the 'QTLs') controlling diverse phenotypes, and hence reveal the so-called 'genetic architecture' of these traits. We show that the more we increase our resolution to map QTLs, the more complex of a genetic architecture we reveal. For instance, by focusing all of our mapping power on a small region representing 2.5% of the genome in an unprecedented phenotyping effort, we reveal that several independent QTLs had remained hidden in this region beyond a major-effect QTL that is always clearly visible. If this region is representative of the genome, this means that our current understanding misses potentially hundreds of variants finely controlling traits of evolutionary or agronomical interest

Party Organisation in a multi-level setting: Spain and the United Kingdom..
No full textAangezien een talrijke groep van landen vandaag de dag één of andere vorm van decentralisatie heeft aangenomen, zijn vragen rond federalisme, meerlagig beleid en regionalisme belangrijke onderzoeksobjecten geworden. Deze doctoraatsthesis past het meerlagig perspectief toe op de studie van politieke partijen en onderzoekt hoe nationale partijen dit zijn partijen die kandidaten voor nationale en regionale verkiezingen presenteren over het gehele territorium - de interne relaties organiseren tussen het nationale niveau en de regionale partijafdelingen. De nationale partijen worden geconfronteerd met een specifiek dilemma in gedecentraliseerde systemen: aan de ene kant dienen ze zich tijdens nationale verkiezingen met een coherente boodschap voor het hele nationale territorium als één front te presenteren en aan de andere kant moeten ze zich tijdens regionale verkiezingen richten op een regionaal electoraat met haar eigen specifieke belangen. Het bestaan van verschillende beleids- en verkiezingsniveaus stelt de nationale partijen dus voor een probleem van verticale coördinatie.Deze doctoraatsthesis probeert deze vraag te beantwoorden via de voorbeelden van 3 Britse partijen (de Socialistische partij, de Conservatieve partij en de Liberaal-democratische partij) en 2 Spaanse partijen (de Conservatieve partij en de Socialistische partij). De koppeling tussen het nationale en regionale niveau bestaat uit twee dimensies: de integratie van de regionale partijafdelingen in de centrale beslissingsorganen en de autonomie van de regionale partijafdelingen in de regionale beslissingsniveaus. Deze studie concentreert zich op de organisatie van nationale partijen in slechts 3 van de 17 autonome gemeenschappen in Spanje (Catalonië, Baskenland en Galicië) en op de organisatie van de Britse partijen in Schotland en Wales.Deze studie staat toe om kwalitatief een aantal hypotheses te testen die geformuleerd worden in een ruim theoretische neoninstitutioneel kader en die een brede waaier aan variabelen bevat die de manier beïnvloeden waarop de partijen zich organiseren in een meerlagig kader: ten eerste institutionele variabelen (type van staatsstructuur, niveau van regionale bevoegdheden), ten tweede sociale factoren (sociale breuklijnen, regionalisme en regionale identificatie van het kiezerspubliek), vervolgens variabelen die verbonden zijn met de electorale competitie op het nationale en regionale niveau en tenslotte factoren die de eigenheid van de partijen illustreren, zoals de manier waarop ze gevormd werden, het partytype en hun ideologie.De empirische studie toont een verscheidenheid aan organisatievormen. Partijen in eenzelfde land zijn niet noodzakelijkerwijze op dezelfde manier georganiseerd, net zoals regionale afdelingen in eenzelfde regio niet altijd hetzelfde bevoegdheidsniveau hebben. Over het algemeen lijkt het institutionele kader enkel een rol te spelen in de mate dat het de kansen creëert waarbinnen de regionale structuren zich kunnen ontwikkelen te midden van de nationale partijen. Het type van staatsstructuur en het regionale bevoegdheidsniveau worden niet weerspiegeld in de mate van autonomie van de regionale partijafdelingen en ook niet in hun integratie in de centrale partijorganen. De factoren die de eigenheid van de partij bevestigen aan de andere kant, zoals hun ideologie, de manier waarop ze gevormd werden en hun plaats binnen het huidige politieke landschap, op ieder beleidsniveau, als zijnde regeringspartij of in de oppositie blijken bijzonder belangrijk te zijn. Zo blijkt de rol van de nationale en regionale partijleiders cruciaal, en blijkt een regeringspositie een belangrijk hulpmiddel te zijn in de machtverhoudingen tussen de verschillende beleidsniveaus. De doctoraatsthesis toont op deze manier het belang aan van de factoren die de eigenheid van de partij beklemtonen en de bepalende rol van de spelers in het proces van organisationele verandering.
Applications of unstructured multi-level grid to thermal-reactive flow and transport in porous media
No full textA coupled description of flow and thermal-reactive transport is spanning a wide range of scales in space and time. Subsurface reservoir heterogeneity with complex multi-scale features increases the complexity further. The spatial resolution required during a simulation is dependent on the type and degree of geological heterogeneity, but also on the flowphysics and thewell locations (Karimi-Fard &Durlofsky, 2014). Traditional upscaling or multi-scale techniques are usually focused on the accuracy of the pressure solution and often ignore the transport. Improving the transport solution can however be quite significant for the performance of the simulation, especially in complex applications related to reactive and compositional flow. The use of a method called Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) enables the grid to adapt dynamically during the course of the simulation, which facilitates the efficient use of computational resources (Karimi-Fard & Durlofsky, 2014; Cusini et al., 2016). In this work, the aim was to develop such an AMR framework for general-purpose reservoir simulation. The approach uses a multi-level grid and is applicable to fully unstructured grids. The adaptivity of the grid in the developed AMR procedure is based on a hierarchical grid. The multi-level grid is constructed starting with the static geological model, a fine-scale model that accurately approximates the prospective reservoir. The control volumes present in the model are described by a list of volumes, depths and reservoir properties, and by a connectivity list for all neighbouring blocks, with corresponding transmissibility. The coarser levels are constructed through cell partitioning of the fine-scale model, called level 0. A global flow-based upscaling is applied to redefine the cell properties at the coarser levels. Each coarser level is also described by a list of volumes, depths, reservoir properties and a connectivity list with corresponding transmissibility. An inter-level connectivity list is constructed which includes the connections between control volumes of consecutive levels. The connectivity lists with corresponding transmissibility, along with the cell properties of each control volume are combined to formglobal arrays describing the full hierarchy of levels. The simulation is then started at the coarsest level, while keeping the wells at the finest level of refinement for more accurate representation of the solution. Dynamic adaptivity is performed, based on adaptivity criteria which were developed specific to the used application, resulting in a new grid configuration. The multi-level connectivity list togetherwith the cell properties are redefined at each time step and used as input for the next simulation. The developed AMR framework was implemented in Delft Advanced Research Terra Simulator (DARTS, 2019) which uses the recently developed linearization technique called Operator-Based Linearization, developed by Voskov (2017). The performance of the proposed approach was illustrated for several applications, including geothermal energy extraction and reactive transport. For geothermal applications, several models were tested: a homogeneous reservoir with unstructured grid, a synthetic fluvial model with shale blocks illustrating the role of shale in thermal recharge, a highly heterogeneous fluvial system with low net-to-gross ratio, and several layers of a highly-heterogeneous SPE10 reservoir. The results of these flow examples demonstrate a high level of solution accuracy relative to the reference fine-scale solution. The solution error is considerably decreased as compared to the coarse-scale model. Important features are captured at a higher resolution while keeping the amount of cells to a reasonable number. For the fluvial model, a different approach was adopted for cell aggregation, consisting of grouping the facies together, where shale-regions are kept coarse, and highpermeability facies are kept at a fine level. This significantly improved the solution as compared to the coarse model, where cold front propagation is overestimated. For the application of reactive flow, the dissolution of calcium carbonate through the formation of wormholes was analyzed. Here as well, the solution is considerably improved when using the AMR model. The wormholes are accurately represented, with improved computational performance
THE JUNKSPACE MONUMENT, An ode to monsters and parking lots: An empowering network of urban interventions in Rotterdam
No full textFacing the neo-liberalisation of the city, "the furtive monument" is a path across the city, combining programs of the body, the mind and the politics, in order to reach a state of empowerment. Based on a situationist drift, architectural interventions transform the way the city of Rotterdam is experienced, not based on profit but based on programmatic activations. If the city is a generic cadaver, the project has the ambition to revive its soul from its carcass, extracting its qualities, disrupting the systems in place and re-assembling its components. The city, seen as programmatic intensities, states that architecture doesn’t have to be built.Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences | Explorela
