Dai mangimi al latte: fattori di rischio e qualità / FEED INTO MILK: QUALITY AND RISK FACTORS

BATTAGLIA, MARCO 22 April 2010 (has links)
La tesi è divisa in quattro manoscritti. Lo scopo è lo studio di tre aspetti, come casi-studio indipendenti, all’interno della gestione della catena alimentare dai mangimi al latte. Il primo manoscritto riguarda la fortificazione del latte bovino con iodio e selenio allo scopo di migliorare la qualità del latte e dei suoi derivati; il secondo riguarda la contaminzione dei mangimi con melamina come fattore di rischio per l’industria lattiero-casearia e la salute pubblica. Gli ultimi due lavori sono corollari alla qualità del latte derivante dallo iodio: ovvero un confronto analitico tra procedure di determinazione dello iodio in latte crudo, e uno studio di speciazione dello iodio inorganico nel latte crudo fortificato. Il primo lavoro offre informazioni per meglio comprendere i fattori coinvolti nel miglioramento della concentrazione dello iodio e del selenio nel latte a seguito di una fortificazione della dieta animale. Riguardo la melamina, lo studio conferma il passaggio di essa dai mangimi al latte e la sua rapida escrezione anche a livelli bassi di ingestione da parte dell’animale; uno scarso passaggio dal latte al formaggio. Il terzo lavoro mostra che, per analisi dello iodio con ICP-MS, l’estrazione dell’elemento con soluzione d’ammoniaca è una valida alternativa al metodo ufficiale con TMAH. La speciazione dello iodio inorganico nel latte scremato è un’operazione possibile utilizzando delle diluizioni con soluzione d’ammoniaca (quarto manoscritto). / The thesis is divided into 4 manuscripts. The aim is to study three aspects, as independent case studies, within the quality management of feed-for-food system. The first manuscript is about the fortification of feeds with iodine and selenium to improve the quality of cow’s milk and derivatives; the second one investigates the contamination of feeds with melamine as risk factor for dairy industries and human health. The last two works are corollaries to the iodine-linked quality of milk: i.e. a comparison between analytical procedures for the determination of iodine in raw milk, and a speciation study of iodine in fortified milk. The first work helps to better understand factors involved in improvement of milk iodine and selenium concentration and CO following supplementation with inorganic sources. Regarding melamine, the study confirmed the pathway for its transmission from feed to milk and its rapid excretion, also at a very low level of melamine ingestion by cows; and a low transfer from milk to cheese. The third study shows that the ammonia extraction of iodine is a valid alternative to the official method with TMAH for iodine determination in milk, by using ICP-MS. The speciation of inorganic iodine in skimmed milk is feasible by using ammonia dilution (fourth manuscript).

Effets des incertitudes et de la variabilité spatiale des propriétés des sols et des structures sur le dimensionnement des semelles filantes et des conduites enterrées / Effects of uncertainties and spatial variation of soil and structure properties on geotechnical design : cases of continuous spread footings and buried pipes

Imanzadeh, Saber 15 February 2013 (has links)
Le sol présente une variabilité spatiale des propriétés physiques et mécaniques dont les effets sur des structures légères avec semelles filantes et sur les conduites enterrées ne sont pas bien pris en compte dans leur dimensionnement. Cette variabilité naturelle peut être très importante dans le cas de ces ouvrages car elle induit des tassements différentiels, dont les conséquences peuvent être dommageables : fissures dans les murs, les poutres ou encore des fuites dans les réseaux d’assainissement. La variabilité naturelle du sol et l'incertitude liée à la connaissance imparfaite des propriétés du sol et/ou du béton ou de l'acier de la structure sont les principales sources d'incertitude dans le choix des paramètres de calcul pour le dimensionnement de ces structures. Dans cette thèse, une approche analytique avec les méthodes probabilistes (FOSM et SOSM) et le modèle de Winkler, puis numérique avec le couplage de la méthode des éléments finis avec des approches géostatistiques ont été successivement menées pour modéliser le comportement des semelles filantes et des conduites enterrés lorsque les incertitudes sur les propriétés mécaniques du sol et de la structure sont prises en compte dans leur dimensionnement. Il apparait ainsi, l’importance du comportement longitudinal de ces ouvrages et du poids des incertitudes dans leur dimensionnement. / Soil exhibits spatial heterogeneities resulting from the history of its deposition and aggregation processes that occur in different physical and chemical environments. This inherent or natural variability can be very important in the case of the superficial geotechnical works inducing differential settlements, whose consequences on structural response can be harmful: local failures, cracking in beams or walls, leakage in sewers. Natural variability of soil and uncertainty related to imperfect knowledge in soil properties and/or of concrete or steel of the structure, are the major source of uncertainty in the choice of the design parameters. In this thesis the probabilistic methods in geotechnical engineering, the analytical Winkler model and the coupling of the finite element method with geostatistical approaches were successively used to model the behavior of shallow foundations and buried pipe networks when soil and structure uncertainties are considered in their design.
