[en] ELECTROMAGNETIC SENSOR FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF SPEED AND DIRECTION OF OCEAN STREAMS / [pt] SENSOR ELETROMAGNÉTICO PARA MEDIÇÃO DE VELOCIDADE E DIREÇÃO DE CORRENTES MARINHAS

BEATA ZOFIA FELCZAK DE BARRIOS GUNDELACH 03 January 2007 (has links)
[pt] Este trabalho examina a viabilidade de construção, utilizando tecnologia nacional, de um sensor eletromagnético de velocidade e direção de fluidos, sendo considerado o caso particular de correntes marinhas. O projeto do sensor e os problemas técnicos de produção são apresentados e discutidos, assim como as medidas efetuadas em um protótipo. Considerações gerais sobre o tratamento dos sinais fornecidos pelo sensor também são expostas. / [en] This thesis presents a study of the feasibility of industrial production of an electromagnetic sensor for the measurement of fluid flow, using national available technology. The project of a prototype is developed for the special case of marine currents. The problems concerning the project and its implementation, as well as the measurements obtained from the prototype, are presented and discussed. The sensor signals processing is also examined in its general aspects.

Etude de la biodiversité des habitats coralligènes et de l'influence des facteurs environnementaux par des approches génétiques : des populations d'espèces ingénieures aux communautés / A study of coralligenous habitats biodiversity and of the influence of environmental factors using genetic tools : from engineer species populations to communities

De Jode, Aurélien 30 November 2018 (has links)
La biodiversité englobe toute la diversité des éléments du vivant des molécules à la biosphère et différents niveaux de biodiversité peuvent être distingués. Les habitats coralligènes sont des constructions biogènes calcaires emblématiques de la mer Méditerranée principalement construits par des espèces d’algues rouges calcaires puis consolidés par les squelettes calcaires de différents invertébrés marins. La structure tridimensionnelle formée abrite de nombreuses espèces, faisant des habitats coralligènes un point chaud de biodiversité en mer Méditerranée. L’étude de la diversité génétique chez une algue rouge calcaire ingénieure a révélé la présence d’espèces cryptiques dont l’abondance relative varie en fonction de la localité et de la profondeur. Cette approche a aussi montré que la diversité génétique chez l’espèce cryptique la plus abondante est principalement structurée par des processus neutres de dérive et de migration eux-mêmes influencés par la courantologie. L’étude de la diversité en espèces des communautés, réalisée par une approche de métabarcoding, a révélé une forte diversité au sein des habitats coralligènes ainsi qu’une forte influence des variables environnementales sur la composition des communautés d’espèces. La comparaison des deux niveaux de diversité révèle que la diversité génétique et la diversité spécifique sont positivement corrélées pour la composante alpha et non corrélées pour la composante beta .Cette thèse contribue à améliorer nos connaissances de la biodiversité et du fonctionnement écologique des habitats coralligènes et a aussi permis le développement des certaines méthodes potentiellement applicable au monitoring de ces habitats / Biodiversity encompasses the diversities of all the living elements from the molecules to the biosphere and several levels of biodiversity can be distinguished. Coralligenous habitats are emblematic calcareous biogenic constructions of the Mediterranean Sea mainly built by calcareous red algae and consolidated by calcareous skeletons built by several mine invertebrates. The complex three-dimensional structure shelters for a huge variety of species, and coralligenous habitats are considered to be one of the biodiversity hotspot of the Mediterranean Sea. The study of the genetic diversity of a engineering calcareous red algae, by capture sequencing, revealed that this nominal species is actually composed of eight cryptic species which relative abundances vary among localities and depth. This approach also showed that genetic diversity in the most abundant cryptic species, is shaped by neutral processes of drift and migration strongly influenced by oceanic currents in Marseilles area. The species diversity in communities was studied using a metabarcoding approach. It revealed the high diversity found in these habitats and the important effect of environmental variables on the species communities composition. The comparison between both level of diversities established that that genetic diversity and species diversity are positively correlated for the alpha component of diversity and uncorrelated for the beta component.These work contribute to improve our knowledge of the biodiversity and ecological functioning of these habitats. Some of the methods developments and tuning implemented during this study could be used in monitoring applications of these habitats
