Open source in South African schools : two case studies

Halse, G A, Terzoli, A January 2002 (has links)
One of the major problems facing schools in South Africa is the difficulty in obtaining modern, up-to-date computer facilities. This paper looks at the use of open source solutions in two government schools in South Africa to demonstrate that it is possible for schools to utilise almost any existing computer to provide effective network solutions.

Etude de la faisabilité d'une source de positrons polarisée basée sur le bremsstrahlung d'un faisceau d'électrons polarisé / Feasibility studies of a polarized positron source based on the bremsstrahlung of polarized electrons

Dumas, Jonathan 22 September 2011 (has links)
Les communautés de la physique nucléaire et des hautes énergies ont montré un intérêt croissant pour les faisceaux de positrons intenses et hautement polarisés. Des photons polarisés durs peuvent produire des positrons dans le champ atomique par création de paire, l'électron et le positron ainsi produits portent une partie de la polarisation de la particule initiale. Les récentes avancées dans le domaine des sources d'électrons à courants intenses (1 mA) et hautement polarisés au Jefferson Lab offrent la perspective de créer des positrons polarisés à partir d'électrons de faible énergie. Cette thèse se propose de discuter les transferts de polarisation aux positrons dans la perspective d'une optimisation du design d'une source de positron polarisée. L'expérience PEPPo, visant à mesurer la polarisation de positrons par un faisceau d'électrons de basse énergie (<10MeV) mais de basse intensité est discutée. Une démonstration concluante de cette technique fournirait une méthode alternative de produire des positrons polarisés de basse énergie et des informations utiles pour optimiser le design d'une source dans la gamme d'énergie inférieure au GeV. / The nuclear and high-energy physics communities have shown a growing interest in the availability of high current, highly-polarized positron beams. A sufficiently energetic polarized photon or lepton incident on a target may generate, via bremsstrahlung and pair creation within a solid target foil, electron-positron pairs that should carry some fraction of the initial polarization. Recent advances in high current (> 1 mA) spin polarized electron sources at Jefferson Lab offer the perspective of creating polarized positrons from a low energy electron beam. This thesis discusses polarization transfer from electrons to positrons in the perspective of the design optimization of a polarized positron source. The PEPPo experiment, aiming at a measurement of the positron polarization from a low energy (< 10 MeV) highly spin polarized electron beam is discussed. A successful demonstration of this technique would provide an alternative scheme for the production of low energy polarized positrons and useful information for the optimization of the design of polarized positron sources in the sub-GeV energy range.

Etude de la source et du transport des aérosols marins en zone côtière méditerranéenne / Study of the source and the transport of Sea-spays in the Mediterranean Coastal Zone

Demoisson, Ambre 17 March 2014 (has links)
La connaissance de la source et du transport atmosphérique de l’aérosol marin est primordiale pour mieux comprendre un grand nombre de processus physico-chimiques régissant les propriétés de la basse troposphère. C’est dans ce cadre que s’inscrit cette thèse dont l’objectif principal concerne la modélisation de la génération et du transport des aérosols marins en zone côtière Méditerranéenne. Cette étude a permis notamment l’amélioration du modèle de transport MACMod à partir d’un travail sur les conditions aux surfaces frontières. Une formulation de la fonction source spécifique à la région méditerranéenne nord-occidentale a été déterminée et certains effets des transformations subies par les particules issues de la production primaire au cours de leur transport atmosphérique ont été analysés. De plus, dans le but de mieux tenir compte du cas des zones anthropisées pour les conditions aux limites du modèle, un travail sur l’implémentation du code CHIMERE sur la région méditerranéenne a été initialisé. Enfin, une dernière partie a été consacrée à l’adaptation du modèle MACMod à la prévision de la qualité de l’air et le suivi des concentrations de PM2.5 et PM10. / The knowledge of both the source and atmospheric transport of marine aerosols is needed for a better understanding of a large number of physicochemical processes that control the lower troposphere properties. In this context, the present work deals with the modelization of the generation and atmospheric transport of marine aerosols in the Mediterranean coastal zone. In particular, this study allowed improvement of the aerosol transport model MACMod on the basis of a specific work on the boundary conditions. A new formulation of the sea-spray source function has been determined for the northern Mediterranean and effects of the transformations of the sea-spray particles during their atmospheric transport were identified. In addition, to better take into account the influence of the anthropogenic zones for the boundary conditions, the implementation of the CHIMERE model on the study area was made. Finally, a last part of the thesis was dedicated to the use of the MACMod model for the air quality forecasting and the survey of the PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations.

Spectrum-sliced incoherent light source for multi-channel WDM system

Hu, Chih-Jen 26 June 2000 (has links)
In this thesis, we propose a potentially inexpensive light source for the mulit-channel wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system applications. The spectrum-sliced incoherent light source (SILS) is alternative conventional laser source for the WDM system owing to its simplicity and flexibility. However, the spectrum-sliced source suffers from the intensity noise and spontaneous-spontaneous beat noise. Thus, it is necessary to increase the optical bandwidth or decrease the electrical bandwidth (by varying the bit rate ) to improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR). We used the intra-channel four wave mixing (IC-FWM device) before the receiver to suppresses the intensity noise of the light source, thus greatly expands the optical bandwidth of the received signal. We not only demonstrated the capability of an 8 ¡Ñ 2.5 Gb/s, DWDM with 200 GHz channel spacing transmission system by utilizing only one spectrum-sliced source, but also investigate the cross-talk issue of SILS in the fiber Bragg grating-based optical add/drop multiplexer (FBG-based OADM) and the Mach-Zehnder fiber Bragg grating-based optical add/drop multiplexer (MZ FBG-based OADM) systems.

Acoustic In-duct Characterization of Fluid Machines with Applications to Medium Speed IC-engines

Hynninen, Antti January 2015 (has links)
The unwanted sound, noise, can lead to health problems, e.g. hearing loss and stress-related problems. A pre-knowledge of noise generation by machines is of great importance due to the ever-shorter product development cycles and stricter noise legislation. The noise from a machine radiates to the environment indirectly via the foundation structure and directly via the surrounding fluid. A fluid machine converts the energy from the fluid into mechanical energy or vice versa. Examples of the fluid machines are internal combustion engines (IC-engines), pumps, compressors, and fans. Predicting and controlling noise from a fluid machine requires a model of the noise sources themselves, i.e. acoustic source data. In the duct systems connected to the fluid machines, the acoustic source interacts strongly with the system boundaries, and the source characteristics must be described using in-duct methods. Above a certain frequency, i.e. first non-plane wave mode cut-on frequency, the sound pressure varies over the duct cross-section and non-plane waves are introduced. For a number of applications, the plane wave range dominates and the non-plane waves can be neglected. But for machines connected to large ducts, the non-plane wave range is also important. In the plane wave range, one-dimensional process simulation software can be used to predict, e.g. for IC-engines, the acoustic in-duct source characteristics. The high frequency phenomena with non-plane waves are so complicated, however, that it is practically impossible to simulate them accurately. Thus, in order to develop methods to estimate the sound produced, experimental studies are also essential. This thesis investigates the acoustic in-duct source characterization of fluid machines with applications to exhaust noise from medium speed IC-engines.  This corresponds to large engines used for power plants or on ships, for which the non-plane wave range also becomes important. The plane wave source characterization methods are extended into the higher frequency range with non-plane waves. In addition, methods to determine non-plane wave range damping for typical elements in exhaust systems, e.g. after-treatment devices, are discussed. / <p>QC 20151119</p>

Codage/décodage source-canal conjoint des contenus multimédia / Joint source-channel coding/decoding of multimedia contents

Abid, Manel 05 October 2012 (has links)
Dans cette thèse, nous nous intéressons aux schémas de codage et de décodage source-canal conjoint des contenus multimédia. Nous montrons comment la redondance laissée par le codeur vidéo peut être exploitée pour réaliser un décodage robuste des séquences transmises sur un lien radio-mobile bruité. grâce au schéma de décodage conjoint proposé, le nombre de paquets corrompus est significativement réduit au prix d'une très légère augmentation du débit. Nous appliquons ensuite ce schéma de décodage robuste à latransmission par descriptions multiples sur une architecture mixte Internet et radio-mobile. Le décodage source-canl conjoint des paquets reçus permet de corriger les erreurs de transmission et d'augmenter ainsi le nombre de paquets utilisés par le décodeur pour compenser les paquets perdus. L'efficacité de ce schéma est étudiée par rapport à un schéma classique basé sur les décisions dures du canal et sur un code correcteur d'erreurs introduisant le même niveau de redondance. Une deuxième partie de la thèse est consacrée à l'étude de schémas de codage source-canal conjoint basés sur une transformation redondante. Deux schémas d'estimation ont été proposés. Dans le premier, nous exploitons la redondance structurée introduite et le caractère borné du bruit de quantification pour construire un estimateur cohérent corrigeant les erreurs de transmission. Dans le deuxième schéma, nous appliquons l'algorithme de propagation de croyances pour évaluer les distributions a posteriori des composantes du signal d'entrée, à partir de sorties bruitées du canal. Nous appliquons alors ces deux schémas pour estimer l'entrée d'un banc de filtres suréchantillonnés. / This thesis aims at proposing and implementing efficient joint source-channel coding and decoding schemes in order to enhance the robustness of multimedia contents transmitted over unreliable networks. In a first time, we propose to identify and exploit the residual redundancy left by wavelet video coders in the compressed bit streams. an efficient joint-source channel decoding scheme is proposed to detect and correct some of the transmission errors occurring during a noisy transmission. This technique is further applied to multiple description video streams transmitted over a mixed architecture consisting of a wired lossy part and a wireless noisy part. In a second time, we propose to use the structured redundancy deliberately introduced by multirate coding systems, such as oversampled filter banks, in order to perform a robust estimation of the input signals transmitted over noisy channels. Two efficient estimation approaches are proposed and compared. The first one exploits the linear dependencies between the output variables, jointly to the bounded quantization noise, in order to perform a consistent estmiation of the source outcome. The second approach uses the belief propagation algorithm to estimate the input signal via a message passing procedure along the graph representing the linear dependencies between the variables. These schemes ares then applied to estimate the input of an oversampled filter bank and their performance are compared.
