Download or read book RST 12 written by Académie des sciences, and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2000 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La science et la technologie sont portées actuellement par un essor économique fort, par des révisions stratégiques globales liées à la fin de la guerre froide et à la mondialisation de l'économie et, surtout, par des découvertes majeures dans les sciences et techniques de l'information et de la communication et dans les sciences de la vie. Dans ce paysage très évolutif, le gouvernement français, à l'occasion du Comité interministériel de la recherche scientifique et technique du 15 juillet 1998, a retenu la proposition du Ministre de l'Education nationale, de la Recherche et de la Technologie de confier à l'Académie des sciences le soin d'établir un rapport sur l'état de la science et de la technologie en France. Ce rapport est la synthèse de 11 rapports thématiques qui ont été remis au ministre le 27 juillet 2000. Le rapprochement des disciplines et des techniques scientifiques dans l'abord des problèmes et dans l'étude des systèmes complexes devrait inciter à ce qu'un accent plus net soit mis sur des projets pluridisciplinaires développés entre plusieurs organismes de recherches ainsi qu'avec des universités et des entreprises. Cela devrait impliquer aussi une vision nouvelle dans les formations de l'enseignement supérieur, dans la politique des grands équipements, assortie d'une facilitation de la mobilité des chercheurs, tant au sein de l'hexagone qu'à l'extérieur. La France doit affirmer davantage sa participation aux grands " programmes-cadres " de l'Union européenne, qui ont déjà contribué au décloisonnement des équipes, même si l'Académie reconnaît l'urgence d'une simplification des procédures et la nécessité d'une intervention plus directe des scientifiques dans l'établissement et le suivi de ces programmes. Par ailleurs, il apparaît nécessaire que la communauté scientifique française prenne mieux en compte les enjeux sociétaux et les problèmes éthiques dans un contexte d'ensemble où l'image de la science perd parfois de sa force. Au-delà des propositions liées à chacune des disciplines traitées, les auteurs formulent des recommandations visant à adapter le système français de recherche/développement et d'enseignement aux nouvelles données scientifiques et économiques.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of a research, teaching, or application of competitive (economic) intelligence requires a strategic and transverse vision in regards to related issues. It is essential to integrate the role of culture when interpreting results, either from the training of a specialist or in respect to a country or region. The authors of this book, members of an expert group supported by the CNRS in France, bring all of their talents together to create a comprehensive book that does just this and more.
Download or read book Chloroform written by Peter Watts and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2004-10-08 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chloroform is a clear, colourless, volatile liquid which is used in the production of refrigerants and as a fluoropolymer feedstock. It may be released into the environment from chlorodifluoromethane plants and from pulp and paper mills using chlorine-based chemicals for bleaching and disinfection purposes. Chloroform is also the principal by-product of water disinfectant processes. It is estimated that the vast majority of chloroform emissions into the environment are natural in origin. This publication, part of a series from the International Programme on Chemical Safety, evaluates the risk to human health and the environment posed by exposures to chloroform.

This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’utilisation et la gestion de l’énergie nucléaire sont des sujets sensibles. Chaque accident nucléaire majeur qui se produit soulève de nombreuses et nouvelles interrogations sur les risques radioactifs pour l’environnement et la biodiversité, et l’impact des radionucléides sur les êtres vivants et la santé. S’inscrivant au cœur du débat public, Le risque radioactif propose une synthèse complète des connaissances actuelles sur les principaux polluants radioactifs de l’environnement (uranium, transuraniens, isotopes radioactifs du césium, du strontium, de l’iode, du tritium, du carbone et de divers métaux de transition…), leur comportement et leur devenir dans les divers compartiments physiques des milieux et au sein des organismes vivants, dont l’homme. Il présente de façon claire et raisonnée : - les fondements de la physique et de la chimie nucléaires ainsi que leurs applications dans différents domaines (militaire, énergie, médecine, industrie…). Il aborde également les notions à connaître d’écologie et de génétique, et rappelle les origines anthropiques des radionucléides dans l’environnement ; - les grands principes de la radioécologie, discipline consacrée à l’étude des radionucléides, le comportement de ces derniers dans l’environnement (atmosphère, hydrosphère et lithosphère), leur mode de contamination et leur effet néfaste sur les organismes non humains ; - les principaux risques radioactifs pour l’homme (exposition, imprégnation), les mécanismes de contamination et leurs conséquences sur la santé (effets des irradiations) ; - les principaux inconvénients de l’utilisation de l’énergie nucléaire que sont les déchets radioactifs et leur gestion, et les accidents nucléaires et leur impact. Véritable ouvrage de référence multidisciplinaire, Le risque radioactif s’adresse aux ingénieurs, techniciens et industriels concernés par l’évaluation, la prévention et la gestion des risques radioactifs, aux responsables « environnement » des entreprises et collectivités ainsi qu’aux autorités de sûreté nucléaire. Il sera également utile aux enseignants et étudiants de troisième cycle ainsi qu’à toute personne souhaitant mieux comprendre le risque radioactif.

Download or read book Last Falls written by Terence DEN HOED and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-12-31 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay about political fiction, popular musical biography, psychological reflection and, in the final chapter, ""A dead-end universe,"" science-fiction, pushes the limits of fiction and makes in the field of literary essays, whose territory is always characterized by terminology problems, at the edge of pure concepts, which are to be found in other essays that aren't expressly apparent here: philosophical essays. One thread that runs through these complementary chapters as tree models is that related approaches create the unity of this essay around high standards, individualism, intellectual rigor and disillusionment. The Last Falls metaphor, explaining the title of the work, is reflected in incomplete elements of truth, which exist in many areas and condemn the exercise undertaken to synthetize information to certain failure.
Download or read book Socioeconomic Evaluation of Megaprojects written by Markku Lehtonen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-11-22 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The governance and evaluation of ‘megaprojects’ – that is, large-scale, complex, high-stakes infrastructure projects usually commissioned by governments and delivered through partnerships between public and private organisations – is receiving increased attention. However, megaproject evaluation has hitherto largely adopted a linear-rationalist perspective to explain the frequent failure of such projects to meet the ‘iron triangle’ of performance criteria: delivering on time, within budget, and according to specifications. This approach recommends greater control and accountability to remedy megaproject ‘pathologies’. Drawing on empirical examples mainly from the transport sector and radioactive waste disposal, this book offers new perspectives to megaproject evaluation. Comprising contributions from leading experts in project evaluation and appraisal, this collection opens up new avenues by suggesting two ways of improving megaproject evaluation: 1) approaches that go beyond the dominant linearrationalist notion of policy processes, and emphasise instead the objective of opening up appraisal processes in order to enhance learning and reflexivity; and 2) approaches that extend evaluative criteria beyond the ‘iron triangle’, to cover the various socioeconomic impacts and preconditions for project success. This volume will be of great relevance to scholars and practitioners with an interest in megaprojects, energy and climate policy, radioactive waste management, urban design, and project planning and management.
