2	Application of microwave sensors to potato products Mohamad Noh, Badaruzzaman Bin January 2010 (has links) The first microwave measurement techniques uses an open ended coaxial probe with a purposely built sample holder to measure the dielectric properties of potato products from 500 MHz to 1 GHz. The second system utilises a waveguide cell with a purposely built sample holder to characterise potato products from 2.4 to 3.5 GHz. Common British varieties of raw potatoes such as Estima, King Edward and Maris Piper are used in this study. The two microwave measurement techniques are also used to measure the dielectric properties of potato products at elevated temperatures for these frequency ranges. Both measurement techniques are also used to study the effect of storage temperature on the dielectric properties of Saturna raw potato. For this part of the study, it is concluded that the microwave measurement techniques are unable to discriminate between potatoes that had a storage history of different temperature profiles. On the other hand, waveguide cells and open ended coaxial probes are able to measure the dielectric properties of raw potato, partial cooked fried potato and fried potato at the 500 MHz to 1 GHz and 2.4 GHz to 3.5 GHz frequency range. The measurement results show that both dielectric constant and loss values of fried potatoes decreased with frying time, due to the reduced moisture content during the frying process. Furthermore, the dielectric loss behaviour of raw and fried potatoes is dominated by the effect of the ionic conductivity at frequencies lower than 1 GHz. An apparatus has been designed and built in order to measure the dielectric properties of potato for both frequency ranges as a function of temperature. In the subsequent measurements it is found that the dielectric properties of potato products at elevated temperatures also depend on frequency and moisture content. For high moisture content potato (~> 70 %), at 2.45 GHz both the dielectric constant and loss are found to decrease with temperature, whereas at 915 MHz the dielectric constant decreases but the loss increases for the moisture content above 30%. For the intermediate moisture content (10%<MC<70%), all dielectric properties increase with temperature at the microwave heating frequencies 2.45GHz, whereas at 915 MHz all the dielectric properties increase with temperature for the moisture content range 10% to 30%. The increase in dielectric properties with temperature is small and marginal for fried potatoes with low moisture content (< 10 %). It is therefore apparent that moisture content is the primary factor in detecting the complex permittivity of potato products. 664

5	The Port of Berenike Troglodytica on the Red Sea : a landscape-based approach to the study of its harbour and its role in Indo-Mediterranean trade Kotarba-Morley, Anna Maria January 2015 (has links) The port site of Berenike Troglodytica - located on the Egyptian Red Sea coast - served the spice and incense routes that linked the Mediterranean World (specifically the Roman Empire) to India, Southern Arabia and East Africa. In the Greco-Roman period the site was at the cutting edge of what was then the embryonic global economy, ideally situated as a key node connecting Indian Ocean and Mediterranean trade for almost 800 years. It is now located in an arid, marginal, hostile environment but the situation must have been very different 2300 years ago, at the time of its founding. At the time of elephant-hunting trips during the Hellenistic period before the inception of its important role in the global markets of the day in the Roman period Berenike would have to have looked much different to what we can now imagine. What was it like then, when the first prospectors visited this location at the time of Ptolemy II? Why this particular place, and this particular landscape setting seemed such a propitious location for the siting of an important new harbour? Given the importance of the port over almost a millennium it is perhaps surprising that very little is known about the different factors impacting on the foundation, evolution, heyday and subsequent decline of the city; or the size, shape, and capacity of its harbour. The intention of this research is to address this shortfall in our knowledge, to examine the drivers behind the rise and fall of this port city, and to explore the extent to which the dynamics of the physical landscape were integral to this story. Using an innovative Earth Science approach, changes in the archaeological 'coastscape' have been reconstructed and correlated with periods of occupation and abandonment of the port, shedding light on the nature, degree and directionality of human-environment interactions at the site. This work has revealed profound changes in the configuration of the coastal landscape and environment (including the sea level) during the lifespan of Berenike, highlighting the ability of people to exploit changes in their immediate environment, and demonstrating that, ultimately, the decline of the port was partly due to these landscape dynamics. To further explore these themes the landscape reconstructions have been supplemented by semi-quantitative analyses of a suite of variables likely to influence the initial siting of new ports of trade. These have shown that although the site of Berenike was ideal in terms of its coastal landscape potential, possessing a natural sheltered bay and lagoon system, the choice of location was not solely influenced by its environmental conditions. Additionally, a detailed review of vessels that plied Red Sea and Indian Ocean routes is presented here in order to better understand the design and functioning of Berenike's harbour. This serves the purpose of identifying unifying features that provide more detail about the size and draught of vessels and the potential capacity of the harbour basin. By using this multi-scalar approach it has been possible to reconstruct the 'coastscape' of the site through the key periods of its occupancy and those phases immediately before and after its operation. This has wide-ranging implications for researchers studying ancient ports along this trade network as a larger database will tease out more details about how influential the landscape was in the initial siting of the port and its subsequent use and decline.
6	Le jardin botanique de Bruxelles (1826-1912) Miroir d'une jeune nation. Diagre, Denis 20 April 2006 (has links) L’histoire du Jardin botanique de Bruxelles offre l’opportunité de prendre le pouls de la capitale et de ses développements successifs ; de la bourgeoisie du XIXème siècle, de ses passions et de ses fantasmes ; de la science nationale et internationale ; des rêves coloniaux qui habitèrent les souverains belges ; bref de la société belge dans ses multiples composants… quand elle n’entrouvrait pas la porte de l’intimité psychologique de certains intervenants majeurs du passé scientifique national. En effet, le Jardin botanique fut d’abord l’expression d’une société anonyme créée sous le régime hollandais (1826) : la Société Royale d’Horticulture des Pays-Bas. Cette dernière devait enfin doter la capitale méridionale du pays d’un indispensable marqueur de sa modernité, à moindres frais pour la couronne. Dans ce modus operandi se lisaient la passion bourgeoise pour la nature (surtout exotique), certes, mais aussi son utopie, laquelle faisait dépendre le bien être de la société de l’esprit d’entrepreprise d’une classe. Il s’agissait d’une des premières sociétés anonymes belges, et l’immaturité de cet outil se paierait bien vite. Alors qu’il avait été inspiré par le Jardin des Plantes du Muséum d’Histoire Naturelle de Paris – archétype de l’institution scientifique nationale totalement soutenue par l’état – le jardin de Bruxelles revêtit une forme commerciale qui devait bien le servir, lorsque la crise qui suivit la Révolution de 1830 frappa les finances publiques du nouvel état belge. Dès ce moment, le Jardin botanique se lança dans une recherche effrénée de revenus, laquelle ne cesserait qu’avec le rachat du site par l’état belge, en 1870. Unanimement considéré comme magnifique, il n’avait survécu jusque là que grâce à l’écrin qu’il offrait aux réjouissances bourgeoises de la capitale, grâce à la vente d’une partie de sa surface à la faveur de la construction de la Gare du Nord, et à des augmentations successives des subsides versés par le gouvernement et par la capitale. En réalité, la science n’avait alors jamais vraiment élu domicile à la Porte de Schaerbeek… tout au plus avait-on tenté de la singer pour feindre de mériter les subventions nationales que les Chambres devaient approuver. La beauté remarquable de la propriété, sa fonction sociale d’écrin pour la vie événementielle bruxelloise, et sa fonction symbolique de révélateur d’état de civilisation, avaient été les clefs de sa longévité. Le site fut donc racheté en 1870, à la suite d’une entreprise de persuasion, tenant parfois du lobbying, menée par Barthélémy Dumortier (1797-1878), célèbre homme politique catholique, et botaniste de renom. Il avait pour objectif de monter un équivalent belge des Royal Botanic Gardens de Kew, sur les ruines de ce jardin que la bourgeoisie avait abandonné à l’Etat, contre une somme ridicule et en sacrifiant les bénéfices de ses actionnaires. Dumortier voulait donc créer un grand centre voué à la taxonomie, et avait fait acheter le célèbre herbier brésilien de F. von Martius à cette fin. Après des années d’incertitude, marquées par des querelles internes, parfois fort menaçantes, le Jardin botanique de l’Etat échut à François Crépin, l’auteur de la fameuse Flore de Belgique. Le Rochefortois ne cesserait de tenter de déployer son institution, parfois avec succès, mais elle pâtissait d’un handicap de taille : des liens trop étroits avec la Ville de Bruxelles et son université, bastions libéraux et maçonniques. Il en découla, dans une série de ministères uniformément catholiques, une intrumentalisation du Jardin botanique, teintée de mépris, à des fins politiques, et un sous- financement chronique peu propice à la modernisation scientifique de l’institution. Le secours vint du besoin d’expertise scientifique et agronomique dont le Congo léopoldien avait cruellement besoin. Sous le bouclier du souverain de cet état indépendant, une institution scientifique belge trouva protection contre la malveillance des ministres belges, des milliers de feuilles d’herbier qui lui permirent de pratiquer légitimement une discipline bien essoufflée (la taxonomie), de s’y faire une niche et de devenir un des plus grands centres mondiaux en matière de botanique africaine. Ainsi, la colonisation donna-t-elle une base de replis à de grands fonds scientifiques, alors que les universités s’étaient emparées de la physiologie, et des nouvelles disciplines prometteuses. Ces bases de données sont aujourd’hui impliquées, en première ligne, dans les recherches suscitées par la grande inquiétude écologique contemporaine. Miroir de la Belgique, le Jardin botanique de Bruxelles refléta beaucoup de ses gloires et de ses tourments, de ses querelles politiques et philosophiques, et même de ceux qui eurent le Congo pour cadre. Son rayonnement, jadis comme aujourd’hui, doit beaucoup à ce continent. Ainsi peut-on légitimement affirmer que le Jardin botanique fut et reste un enfant de l’Afrique. aquarium taxonomie de Candolle P. Parmentier anatomie physiologie système naturel Linné N.
