Download or read book Solar Energy Applications to Dwellings written by Willeke Palz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of the Modelling Sub-Group are to unify European research in the field of computer models, to provide the best simplified models in the Passive Solar Working Group's extensive European Passive Solar Handbook and to ensure that these simple models are easy to use for design purposes. It has defined the needs of the research program for a large model and has chosen the Scottish program ESP as a large simulation model to be used as a reference for the analysis of the simplified ones. Each participant has commissioned the chosen model on his own computer and run a very simple exercise, just to verify that the program works similarily on the different machines. The analysis of the large model is being brought on its different sections, such as : input, output, heat transfer, passive solar systems, etc. The group will run ESP using the same passive solar bulding data as inputted to simplified models to assess the sensitivity of the latter ones. It will report on the work needed for the next 4 year CEC research program.

Download or read book S curit des proc d s chimiques Connaissances et m thodes d analyse des risques 2 d written by LAURENT André and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La maîtrise des risques technologiques et industriels est maintenant une exigence sociétale majeure. En effet à la suite de l'accident AZF à Toulouse, un foisonnement de protocoles et d'applications réglementaires a induit une évolution de la conception du danger et de la notion de risque, qui a conduit au passage d'une évaluation déterministe à une causalité probabiliste. Sécurité des procédés chimiques vise à fournir les outils permettant d'appréhender l'analyse du risque et l'appréciation des conséquences. La terminologie y est actualisée avec les nouveaux termes d'aléa, d'enjeux, d'intensité, de cinétique et de vulnérabilité. Les connaissances de base sont présentées suivant les récentes typologies classiques des caractéristiques des effets des phénomènes de dangers. Outre les méthodes simples et classiques d'analyse des risques (APR - HAZOP - Arbres), l'aspect méthodologique est complété par la présentation de la méthode du nœud papillon et de quelques nouvelles méthodes systémiques intégrées (MOSAR - ARAMIS - LOPA). La démarche de la maîtrise des risques est enrichie d'une revue très complète des concepts de défense en profondeur, de couches de protection, de lignes de défense, de fonctions de sécurité et de différentes barrières rarement proposés simultanément. Enfin, le contenu de l'étude de dangers est décrit d'après la base réglementaire de leur guide d'élaboration. Compte tenu de son approche systémique et pédagogique, ce livre est accessible au débutant tout en répondant aux exigences des spécialistes. Sécurité des procédés chimiques s'adresse donc aussi bien aux ingénieurs, industriels, techniciens, cadres des services publics, des communautés urbaines et des collectivités territoriales, enseignants, chercheurs qu'aux élèves ingénieurs des grandes écoles scientifiques et aux étudiants de licence, master et doctorat des universités…

It does not merely affect oral co
Download or read book Innovation in Sport written by Bastien Soule and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-12-17 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether in terms of practices, equipment or services, the sports sector is characterized by intense inventiveness and is an excellent subject to study innovation processes. This book provides a sociological reading of these processes, illustrated by case studies that allow us to grasp the complexity of innovation trajectories. The case studies highlight the astonishing pathways, from the origin of inventions to their effective dissemination and use, and including the bifurcations of projects. The “surprises” thus presented refer to an invariant of innovation processes, namely that trajectories are rarely linear and that the control exercised over them is relative. Innovation in Sport concludes with a set of recommendations for optimizing the management of sport innovation. This book is intended for students of sports science and management, as well as for professionals and entrepreneurs in the sports markets.

In a heated yet often poorly informed debate, it offers clarity and insights regarding the financial compensation for victims of catastrophes which, in addition to raising academic interest, are certain to help build a framework for future policymakers and lawmakers faced with shaping compensation programmes for catastrophe victims.
Download or read book Digues maritimes et fluviales de protection contre les submersions 2e colloque national Digues 2013 written by ROYET Paul and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au regard du Code de l’environnement, les digues, considérées comme ouvrages hydrauliques, ne doivent pas rompre de façon dangereuse pour les populations. En tant que moyen de prévention du risque d’inondation ou de submersion, les performances et les limites de ces digues doivent être connues avec précision. Les digues de protection constituent donc une question politique mise en évidence par plusieurs événements récents (Xynthia 2010, la NouvelleOrléans 2005, Rhône aval 2003, Gard 2002, Aude 1999). Cet ouvrage rassemble les contributions présentées lors du 2e colloque national Digues maritimes et fluviales de protection contre les submersions (Digues2013), organisé par l’Irstea et Promosciences, les 12, 13 et 14 juin 2013 au Centre des Congrès d’AixenProvence, avec le soutien du MEDDE, du CFBR, et de la Région ProvenceAlpesCôte d’Azur. Il s’adresse aux maîtres d’ouvrages, gestionnaires, concepteurs, constructeurs, enseignants et chercheurs, services de contrôle, organismes financeurs, agissant dans les domaines d’activités liés, directement ou indirectement, à la sûreté des digues maritimes et fluviales.

Download or read book Legionella 2e ed written by JARRAUD Sophie and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il y a maintenant 35 ans que survenait la tragique épidémie de Philadelphie qui permit à Joseph McDade de désigner en janvier 1977 Legionella pneumophila comme responsable d'une nouvelle infection bactérienne, la légionellose. Depuis cette date, la bactérie n'a jamais cessé d'occuper le devant de la scène. Certaines épidémies comme celle qui a frappé Harnes dans le Pas-de-Calais lors de l'hiver 2003 a fortement marqué les esprits. Legionella, coordonné par Sophie Jarraud et Jean Freney, a été rédigé par des spécialistes de chacun des domaines abordés et propose un tour d'horizon complet du sujet depuis la description de l'épidémie de 1976 jusqu'à la prévention et le contrôle de la légionellose en passant par les moyens modernes de sa surveillance épidémiologique. Dans cette nouvelle édition, les différents éléments de la première édition (taxonomie, diagnostic, épidémiologie, relations avec l'environnement, traitement, prévention…) ont été repris et entièrement actualisés. De nouveaux chapitres ont été ajoutés ou largement augmentés en particulier ceux concernant la génomique, l'immunité, la multiplication intracellulaire des légionelles ainsi que les stratégies de mise en évidence de la sensibilité aux antibiotiques. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux médecins, biologistes, hygiénistes, pharmaciens, épidémiologistes et, de façon plus large, à tous les acteurs concernés par la légionellose dans de nombreux domaines industriels. Il sera enfin d'une aide précieuse à tous les étudiants qui souhaitent approfondir leurs connaissances sur Legionella et les légionelloses.
