The diploma thesis is deals with the economic aspects of the cultivation of Wild Cherry (Prunus avium L.) in the natural forest area 30 – Drahans´s upland and 35 – South Moravia´s ravines. Part of the thesis is an evaluation of the state of the Wild Cherry wood market in the Czech republic and creation of the proposal for foundation and upbringing of Wild Cherry stands. The main documents for the work were Regional works of forest development and Regional forest-typological elaborations for the natural forest areas, data from field measurements and surfy. Wild Cherry wood of Czech republic is insufficient range and the wood is of poor quality very often on the market. This can be considered as one of the reasons why the cherry wood is not interested in the processing of cherry wood, and it is usually custom-made during processing.

[EN] Rogelio Salmona and Le Corbusier: about the permeability of the making Abstract Rogelio Salmona was one of the most important architects of the 20th century in Colombia. His work, altogether with the work of some co-generation colleagues, laid the foundation for architecture made there since 1960 which operated a smart cultural synthesis between the principles of the modern movement coming from Europe and the United States and the technical and material potential of the Colombian environment. Rogelio Salmona formed for six years in the studio of Le Corbusier in Paris between 1948 and 1954. After this experience, the architect always claimed to be a disciple, but not a follower of Le Corbusier, even asserting that the most important influence he had received during the years spent in the French capital was from Pierre Francastel, a sociology professor at the École de Hautes Études. This thesis tries to delineate how the influence of Le Corbusier may have operated in the work of the Colombian architect. To do this, first, it is studied in depth the projects in the studio of Le Corbusier in the period between 1948 and 1954 and how they were developed. Secondly we approximate to the state of architecture in Colombia done during the same period, with particular emphasis on the work done by the co-generation colleagues of Rogelio Salmona. Finally the first works by the architect on his return to Colombia and his writings are studied and discussed. After this Itinerary, it is possible to identify several points in common, regarding the approach to the craft of the two architects, described and illustrated by some of their works. In both cases, the approach to the project through the development and editing of a series of pre-set variables leads to a systematic way of doing infinitely rich in possibilities. This research uses this case study to inquire in a broader sense into the mechanisms operating in the transmission of knowledge, on the field of architectural projects. / [ES] Rogelio Salmona y Le Corbusier: sobre la permeabilidad del hacer Resumen Rogelio Salmona fue uno de los arquitectos más importantes del siglo XX en Colombia. Su obra, junto con la de algunos compañeros de generación, sentó las bases para la arquitectura allí realizada a partir de 1960 que operó una inteligente síntesis cultural entre los postulados del movimiento moderno provenientes de Europa y Estados Unidos y las posibilidades tanto técnicas como materiales del entorno colombiano. Rogelio Salmona se formó durante seis años en el taller de Le Corbusier en París, entre 1948 y 1954. Tras esta experiencia el arquitecto declaró siempre ser discípulo, más no seguidor de Le Corbusier, llegando a afirmar que la influencia más importante que había recibido durante los años de permanencia en la capital francesa fue la de Pierre Francastel, profesor de Sociología de Arte en la École de Hautes Études. En esta tesis se pretende deslindar de qué manera puede haberse operado la influencia de Le Corbusier en el trabajo del arquitecto colombiano. Para ello, en primer lugar, se estudia en profundidad los proyectos y la manera de abordarlos en el taller de Le Corbusier en el período comprendido entre 1948 y 1954. En segundo lugar se realiza una aproximación al estado de la arquitectura en Colombia durante los mismos años, haciendo especial hincapié en el trabajo desarrollado por los compañeros de generación de Rogelio Salmona. Por último se analizan las primeras obras realizadas por el arquitecto a su regreso a Colombia y se estudian sus escritos. Tras este recorrido resulta posible identificar varios puntos en común, que atañen a la aproximación al oficio de los dos arquitectos, que se describen y se ilustran mediante algunos de sus trabajos. En ambos casos, la aproximación al proyecto mediante la elaboración y reelaboración de una serie de variables establecidas da pie a una manera de hacer sistemática e infinitamente rica en posibilidades. Esta investigación se sirve de este caso concreto para indagar en un sentido más amplio sobre los mecanismos que operan en la transmisión del conocimiento, referidos al ámbito de los proyectos de arquitectura. / [CA] Rogelio Salmona i Le Corbusier: sobre la permeabilitat del fer Resum Rogelio Salmona va ser un dels arquitectes més importants del segle XX en Colombia. La seua obra, juntament amb la d'alguns companys de generació, va establir les bases per a l'arquitectura allà realitzada a partir de 1960 que va operar una intel·ligent síntesi cultural entre els postulats del moviment modern provinents d'Europa i Estats Units i les possibilitats tant tècniques com materials de l'entorn colombià. Rogelio Salmona es va formar durant sis anys al taller de Le Corbusier a París, entre 1948 i 1954. Després d'aquesta experiència l'arquitecte va declarar sempre ser deixeble, més no seguidor de Le Corbusier, arribant a afirmar que la influència més important que havia rebut durant els anys de permanència a la capital francesa va ser la de Pierre Francastel, professor de Sociologia de l'Art a l'École d'Hautes Études. En aquesta tesi es pretén delimitar de quina manera pot haver-se operat la influència de Le Corbusier en el treball de l'arquitecte colombià. Per a això, en primer lloc, s'estudia en profunditat els projectes i la manera d'abordar-los al taller de Le Corbusier en el període comprès entre 1948 i 1954. En segon lloc es realitza una aproximació a l'estat de l'arquitectura a Colòmbia durant els mateixos anys, fent especial èmfasi en el treball desenvolupat pels companys de generació de Rogelio Salmona. Finalment s'analitzen les primeres obres realitzades per l'arquitecte al seu retorn a Colòmbia i s'estudien els seus escrits. Després d'aquest recorregut resulta possible identificar diversos punts en comú, que concerneixen a l'aproximació a l'ofici dels dos arquitectes, que es descriuen i s'il·lustren mitjançant alguns dels seus treballs. En tots dos casos, l'aproximació al projecte mitjançant l'elaboració i reelaboració d'una sèrie de variables establides dóna motiu a una manera de fer sistemàtica i infinitament rica en possibilitats. Aquesta investigació se serveix d'aquest cas concret per a indagar en un sentit més ampli sobre els mecanismes que operen en la transmissió del coneixement referits a l'àmbit dels projectes d'arquitectura. / Mejía Vallejo, CE.

1. Although the ORL1 receptor is clearly located within the spinal cord, the functional signalling mechanism of the ORL1 receptor in the spinal cord has not been clearly documented. The present study was then to investigate the guanine nucleotide binding protein (G-protein) activation mediated through by the ORL1 receptor in the mouse spinal cord, measuring the modulation of guanosine-5'-o-(3-[35S]-thio) triphosphate ([35S]-GTPγS) binding by the putative endogenous ligand nociceptin, also referred as orphanin FQ. We also studied the anatomical distribution of nociceptin-like immunoreactivity and nociceptin-stimulated [35S]-GTPγS autoradiography in the spinal cord. 2. Immunohistochemical staining of mouse spinal cord sections revealed a dense plexus of nociceptin-like immunoreactive fibres in the superficial layers of the dorsal horn throughout the entire length of the spinal cord. In addition, networks of fibres were seen projecting from the lateral border of the dorsal horn to the lateral grey matter and around the central canal. 3. In vitro [35S]-GTPγS autoradiography showed high levels of nociceptin-stimulated [35S]-GTPγS binding in the superficial layers of the mouse dorsal horn and around the central canal, corresponding to the areas where nociceptin-like immunoreactive fibres were concentrated. 4. In [35S]-GTPγS membrane assay, nociceptin increased [35S]-GTPγS binding of mouse spinal cord membranes in a concentration-dependent and saturable manner, affording maximal stimulation of 64.1 ± 2.4%. This effect was markedly inhibited by the specific ORL1 receptor antagonist [Phe1ψ (CH2-NH) Gly2] nociceptin (1-13) NH2. None of the μ-, δ-, and κ-opioid and other G-protein-coupled receptor antagonists had a significant effect on basal or nociceptin-stimulated [35S]-GTPγS binding. 5. These findings suggest that nociceptin-containing fibres terminate in the superficial layers of the dorsal horn and the central canal and that nociceptin released in these areas may selectively stimulate the ORL1 receptor to activate G-protein. Furthermore, the unique pattern of G-protein activation in the present study provide additional evidence that nociceptin is distinct from the μ-, δ- or κ-opioid system.

Le présent essai se veut un retour sur l'expérimentation de l'application d'exercices de la méthode du docteur Vittoz auprès des créateurs du projet "Carnets du Nord", où fut utilisé le processus de création théâtrale des Cycles Repère. Son principal objectif consiste à réfléchir sur la pertinence de développer un tel projet sur une plus longue durée, en exposant tout d'abord les éléments de complémentarité qui unissent les exigences des Cycles Repère aux effets reconnus de la méthode Vittoz sur le plan théorique, puis en confrontant cette théorie à la pratique par un bilan de l'application des divers exercices effectués lors de l'expérimentation. Ce bilan fera état des points positifs, des défis, des limites et des contraintes rencontrées en vue d'évaluer quelles orientations ces exercices pourraient prendre afin de mieux répondre aux besoins des créateurs. Il sera suivi d'une étude des données recueillies dans les journaux de bord des créateurs de "Carnets du Nord" afin de cerner davantage les besoins et les préoccupations réels des participants et les outils de la méthode Vittoz qui pourraient leur venir en aide.

Nous fondant sur un corpus de deux romans de Patrick Chamoiseau, Solibo Magnifique (1988) et Biblique des derniers gestes (2001), nous nous proposons, dans ce mémoire, d'examiner l' évolution de la poétique d'écriture de Patrick Chamoiseau. Complexe et inépuisable, l' oeuvre de Patrick Chamoiseau est le lieu d'une esthétisation du réel, au profit d'une intention particulière, soit celle de ± sculpter¿ l'identité. Au coeur de chacune de ces oeuvres, la figure du ± Marqueur de paroles¿ représente le centre de gravité autour duquel s'articulera notre recherche. En interrogeant les mécanismes littéraires et les stratégies discursives déployés dans le texte chamoisien, nous voulons démontrer que l' écriture est l'aventure d'une quête identitaire du Soi.

The use of ICTs to stimulate socio-economic development has significantly grown in popularity in the recent years and has been boosted by the “mobile revolution” of the last decade. Despite the multi-year experience of academics, donor agencies and businesses, the failure rate of ICT for Development projects is still very high, resulting in a significant waste of resources. The multiple challenges that must be faced simultaneously in these projects make them more difficult than “traditional” ICT projects and recommendations such as best practices to face them have been suggested over the years. Nonetheless, the systematic replicability of these practices has never been addressed and project management and formalized development processes that address the particular challenges of the domain are extremely rare. This thesis presents a Maturity Model derived from the experience of researchers and practitioners, collected through an extensive literature review and interviews, that aims at providing a set of guidelines to be used throughout an ICT for Development intervention to increase the probability of success.

La première partie de ce mémoire présente l'oeuvre Marge, une vision du monde en réponse à l'histoire de Crab (d'Éric Chevillard). La deuxième partie offre un examen attentif de la poétique narrative des romans éclatés La nébuleuse du crabe et Un fantôme (le récit de Crab). Nous y observons, du point de vue de la lecture, comment s'élabore le sens dans de telles oeuvres présentant un éclatement matériel et un éclatement de contenu. L'hypothèse maintenue est qu'en contexte polytextuel le roman recèle une narrativité potentielle et non effective (la reticulation), et qu'un projet esthétique vient structurer la co-présence des textes. Ce projet, la représentation de la folie, est assumé par le biais d'une figure, déplaçant ainsi la logique narrative traditionnelle vers une autorité d'ordre lectural et fictionnel.

An automated procedure was developed to identify and extract confined poultry facilities from color 35-mm slide imagery collected by the United States Department of Agriculture/Farm Service Agency (USDA/FSA). The imagery is used by the USDA/FSA to monitor compliance with various farm support programs and to determine crop production acreage within a given county. The imagery is generally available for all counties within the state on an annual basis. The imagery, however, is not flown to rigid specifications as flight height, direction, and overlap can vary significantly. The USDA/FSA attempts to collect imagery with reasonably clear skies, as visual interpretations could be drastically impacted by cloudiness. The goal of this study was to develop procedures to effectively utilize this imagery base to identify and extract poultry facilities using automated techniques based on image processing and GIS. The procedure involved pre-screening the slides to determine coverage, geopositioning to USGS quadrangle base, color scanning to convert slide image to a digital format and archiving each data file with a naming convention that would allow rapid retrieval in later analysis. Image processing techniques were developed for identifying poultry facilities based on spectral characteristics. GIS tools were used to select poultry facilities from an array of features with similar spectral characteristics. A training data set was selected from which the spectral characteristics of poultry facilities were analyzed and compared with background conditions. Poultry facilities were found to have distinguishable characteristics. Descriptive statistics were used to define the range of spectral characteristics encompassing poultry facilities. Thresholding analyses were then utilized to eliminate all image features with spectral characteristics outside of this range. Additional analyses were made to remove noise in the spectral image due to the sun angle, line of sight of camera, variation in roof reflectance due to rust and/or aging, shading by trees, etc. A primary objective in these analyses was to enhance the spectral characteristics for the poultry facility while, at the same time, retaining physical characteristics, i.e. the spectral characteristic is represented by a single blue color with a high brightness value. The techniques developed to achieve a single blue color involved the use of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on the red color band followed by RGB to Hue and RGB to Saturation analyses on the red and green color bands, respectively, from the resulting image. The features remaining from this series of analyses were converted into polygons (shape file) using ArcView GIS, which was then used to calculate the area and perimeter of each polygon. The parameters utilized to describe the shape of a poultry house included width, length, compactness, length-width ratio, and polygon centroid analysis. Poultry facilities were found to have an average width of approximately 12.6m with a low standard deviation indicating that the widths of all houses were very similar. The length of poultry facilities ranged from 63m to 261m with and average length of 149m. The compactness parameter, which also is related to length and width, ranged from 30 to 130 with a mean value of approximately 57. The shape parameters were used by ArcView GIS to identify polygons that represent poultry facilities. The order of selection was found to be compactness followed by length-width ratio and polygon centroid analysis. A data set that included thirty 35-mm slide images randomly selected from the Rockingham County data set, which contained over 2000 slides, was used to evaluate the automated procedure. The slides contained 182 poultry houses previously identified through manual procedures. Seven facilities were missed and 175 were correctly identified. Ninety-seven percent (97%) of existing poultry facilities were correctly identified which compares favorably with the 97 % accuracy resulted by manual procedures. . The manual procedure described by Mostaghimi, et. al.(1999) only gave the center coordinates for each poultry facility. The automated procedure not only gives the center coordinate for each poultry building but also gives estimates for geometric parameters area, length and width along with an estimate of the capacity of building (i.e. number of birds), and waste load generated by birds including nutrient and bacteria content. The nutrient and bacteria load generated by each poultry facility is important information for conducting TMDL studies currently being developed for impaired Virginia streams. The information is expected to be very helpful to consultants and state agencies conducting the studies. Agricultural support agencies such as USDA/NRCS and USDA/FSA, Extension Service, consultants, etc. will find the information very helpful in the development of implementation plans designed to meet TMDL target water quality goals. The data also should be useful to Water Authorities for selection of appropriate treatment of water supplies and to county and local government jurisdictions for developing policies to minimize the degradation of water supplies. / Ph.

Alors que la langue du discours utilitaire s'articule autour de notions et de concepts pour des fins de de communication, la langue de la poésie sourd de l'intériorité de l'être. Elle soutient le poète en marche vers l'apprentissage de la parole vivante, laquelle s'incarne dans son histoire personnelle et sa relation au monde. Marier la source et la blessure rassemble des textes poétiques où gravitent les thèmes de la tristesse, de l’angoisse, de la révolte et de l'espoir. Des moments de clarté, un souffle d'énergie, des instants d'apaisement. Un passage de l'ombre à la lumière. Au cœur de ce pèlerinage à la rencontre de soi et de l'autre, s'exprime un désir d’accomplissement. Pour soutenir cet ensemble de textes, on trouvera un propos sur le mouvement surréaliste et l'apport de Pierre Reverdy à la poésie contemporaine. Puis, entre l'essai et les notes d'un journal de lecture de poésie, s'ajoute une partie réflexive sur démarche d'écriture poétique.
