L'étude menée dans cette thèse porte sur la logistique multi-objectif des déchets ménagers. Elle s'est déroulée en partenariat avec une collectivité locale, la Communauté d'Agglomération du Muretain (CAM) située près de Toulouse qui nous a fournit les problématiques et les différents paramètres à prendre en compte pour le développement de l'étude. Cette thèse s'est déroulée au sein de deux équipes, dans l'équipe de Production Automatisé (PA) du Laboratoire de Génie de Production (LGP) de Tarbes ainsi que dans l'équipe de Modélisation d'Optimisation et de Gestion Intégrée de Systèmes d'Activités (MOGISA) du Laboratoire d'Analyse et d'Architecture des Systèmes (LAAS) de Toulouse. Il y a une trentaine d'année, le traitement des déchets se résumait à une simple mise en décharge. Depuis une conscience collective des problématiques environnementales a placé le traitement des déchets au cœur des préoccupations publiques. La gestion qui est faite des déchets ménagers constitue un enjeu environnemental, économique, social et de citoyennetés majeures, directement lié aux modes de consommation et à la société plus généralement. En France, les municipalités ou les collectivités locales, regroupant plusieurs municipalités, ont en charge de collecter et de convoyer les déchets vers leur lieu de traitement. Dans l'étude proposée, nous allons nous intéresser à la partie logistique, et plus précisément à la collecte et au transport des déchets ménagers et assimilés jusqu’à leur point de décharge (déchetteries, centre de transfert ou centre de traitement directement). Le but étant d’optimiser le transport de déchets tout en gardant une bonne qualité de service. Les enjeux mis en relief pour cette problématique sont les enjeux classiques imposés par toute étude visant à améliorer un service publique : un enjeu économique classique (minimiser les coûts de collecte et de transport), un enjeu environnemental évident (diminuer l'impact environnemental), un enjeu de qualité (satisfaire au mieux les usagers) et enfin un enjeu social (satisfaire les conditions de travail des employés). On va donc ici se concentrer sur l’aspect opérationnel journalier de la gestion. Lorsque celui-ci concerne une planification de trajet pour plusieurs véhicules en même temps qui doivent chacun faire leur circuit en livrant une certaine quantité de produit à chaque client cela se nomme le problème de tournées de véhicules (Vehicle Routing Problem). Ce problème pratique est souvent étudié pour des cas réels et se complexifie avec l’ajout de nombreux paramètres et contraintes, comme par exemple des contraintes d'horaire de passage sur certaines parties du réseau ; ou encore par l'ajout de plusieurs critères à optimiser en mêmes temps, comme par exemple les critères représentant les coûts et ceux représentant l'équilibrage de tournées, etc. / The study in this thesis focuses on the multipurpose logistics of household waste.

The objective of the diploma thesis is to describe the documentary payment instruments mainly their legal regulation, define their main advantages and disadvantages in connection with foreign trade, describe the types of these payment instruments, define participants of the relationships, the future development of both instruments etc. After the theoretical part the analysis of the documentary payment instruments under chosen criteria is performed. The total volumes of letter of credits issued and confirmed by three czech banks within period 1997 -- 2007 are compared and the trends of their development are theoretically explained. The bank fees regarding to letter of credits and documentary collections are compared as well.

The priority of the thesis is to evaluate economic reason for the existence of executors in comparison with current institute of state bailiffs. The thesis further analyzes the powers of executors and their potential misuse in the execution process. Last but not least, the state regulations of this institute are described. The goal is to use general economic theory to find out the effective way of protecting creditor's rights.

The diploma thesis deals with two documentary payment methods commonly used in international trade transactions - a documentary collection and a documentary letter of credit. These instruments are regarded as an important part of both international trade and banking. Both the instruments are characterized in detail. Their advantages and disadvantages are analyzed in comparison with other instruments with same and similar functions. A part of the thesis is devoted to the importance (position) of documentary payment instruments in international trade, and to current trends in their usage. The last part focuses on the documentary collection and the documentary letter of credit in the Czech Republic - from the point of view of their offer, price, and the demand for them.

Diploma thesis deals with impact of tax practice of the courts on tax collection procedure. The tax collection procedure is an optional part of the tax proceeding and tops the entire process of tax collection. If taxable person fails his tax liability, the tax administrator will be authorized to order a tax execution. Tax administrator follows the act about tax administration. The main object of the thesis was to evaluate the imperfections of this act and express the conclusions about the possibility of judicature to provide enough support of the act's application in praxis. Concurrently was appraised the influence of new procedual act, which was passed and is going to come into effect next year. The conclusions arise from the historical and law analysis.

The subject of the Master's Thesis Arts Museum Marketing Strategy is a synthesis of theoretical basis from the arts marketing field and the development of marketing strategy of an art museum, supplemented by a specific analysis and draft of a new marketing strategy of the museum Villa and Collection Panza in northen Italy. The goal of this thesis is not only to summarise generally applicable theoretical concepts for the marketing strategy development or redesign of an art museum but especially its application on a particular example with a real potential of practical use. The theoretical part of this thesis was created by a systhesis of available literature while the practical part was primarily based on authors personal observation and interviewing from the position of a museum trainee.

Increasing waste production is the reason why it is important to focus in more detail on profitable and cost side of waste economy. This diploma thesis deals with the area of garbage collection as a fundamental part during garbage their cumulation in a particular location and follow-up liquidation or preservation. At first the theoretical background of Chinese Postman Problem is described as a cornerstone for garbage collection models. Extensions of this problem have to be considered to be closer to reality. Then waste management in the city of Poděbrady is thoroughly described. In the final part of diploma thesis aforementioned theoretical models are applied on real data obtained from the city of Poděbrady waste department. Heuristic algorithms are an essential part of thesis as a replacement of optimizations models that cannot be used in some cases due to high requirements on computational time.

This thesis provides an analysis of aboriginal involvement in archaeological resource management in British Columbia and explores the potential of co-operative arrangements for the development of a more inclusive management regime. The objectives of the thesis are (i) to investigate the role of First Nations in the development of archaeology and archaeological resource management, (ii) to compare aboriginal community-based heritage management initiatives in B.C. with those operating within the Yukon and Northwest Territories and the U.S., (iii) to develop an aboriginal involvement framework to analyze aboriginal participation in archaeological resource management in B.C., and (iv) to assess the opportunities and constraints to increased aboriginal involvement in archaeological resource management in B.C. Preliminary chapters outline the historical, legislative, and theoretical contexts for this study. Relevant literature is reviewed to provide a discussion of the development of archaeology and its effects on aboriginal people. The creation of a management ethic for archaeology is presented together with the nature of aboriginal participation in the management process. Secondly, literature pertaining to aboriginal involvement in resource management is surveyed to provide a context for analyzing aboriginal participation in archaeological resource management. From this review an aboriginal involvement framework is developed. Based on the themes discussed in preceding chapters and the proposed framework, six key concepts of aboriginal involvement in archaeological resource management are identified to provide structure for an analysis of aboriginal involvement in archaeological resource management in B.C. Next, in case study format, the Sto:lo Nation's approach to heritage management is analyzed using the key concepts distilled from the framework. The Sto:lo Nation's experience with managing archaeology is followed by a discussion of the provincial approach to archaeological resource management. The contrasting nature of both the Sto:lo Nation's and the Province's approaches to archaeological resource management is discussed and the difficulties inherent in developing a more inclusive management regime are highlighted. Finally, a set of opportunities and constraints to the development of a co-operative approach to archaeological resource management is outlined. This set is derived both from the events and literature discussed in the previous chapters as well as the results of the case study investigation. A pilot project for the co-operative management of archaeological resources is suggested and the benefits of such an approach are discussed. The thesis closes with the presentation of conditions to facilitate the development of co-operative management of archaeological resources in B.C. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate

Les techniques de dépoussiérage les plus efficaces et largement utilisées pour séparer des particules ultrafines d’un fluide porteur sont les médias fibreux. Le principal problème est le colmatage du filtre qui induit une augmentation de la perte de charge dans le temps et nécessite donc un nettoyage régulier des médias (ou son remplacement). La séparation des particules ultrafines par voie liquide au moyen d’une colonne à bulles a été envisagée. L’influence des différentes conditions opératoires telles que la hauteur du liquide de piégeage, le débit de filtration, la taille des bulles et la présence d’un garnissage, sur la collecte des particules a été étudiée. Malgré des rendements de collecte inférieurs à ceux des filtres à fibres, les résultats expérimentaux montrent que les colonnes à bulles présentent des performances d’autant plus importantes que le niveau du liquide est élevé et que les orifices de bullage sont petits. Par ailleurs, si l’étude de l’influence de la vitesse de gaz à l’orifice sur l’efficacité de collecte des nanoparticules ne montre pas une tendance bien définie, la présence d’un garnissage dans le liquide de collecte permet d’augmenter significativement le temps de séjour des bulles dans la colonne et donc l’efficacité de collecte / The most effective and widely used dust separation techniques to separate ultrafine particles of a carrier fluid are fibrous media. The main problem is the clogging of the filter that induces a pressure drop increase over time and thus requires a regular cleaning of the media (or its replacement). In this context, the idea is to test bubble columns, which operate at a constant pressure drop, as an alternative to fibrous filters. This study proposes to investigate the influence of different operating conditions such as the liquid level, the air flow rate, the bubble size and the presence of beads, on the collection of ultrafine particles. Despite collection efficiencies lower than those of fibrous filters, experimental results show that bubble columns present high collection efficiency when the liquid level is high and bubbling orifices have low diameters. Besides, if gas velocity does not show an important influence on the collection e_ciency, the presence of beads in the liquid increases the residence time of the bubbles in the column and thus the collection efficiency
