This thesis deals with examining the possibility of revitalizing the watercourse Osoblaha. It flows through the cadastral territories of municipalities Bohušov, Osoblaha and Kašnice u Bohušova. In this thesis there will be proposed a measure to increase biodiversity of the flow. The trough will be loosened in appropriate segments, oxbow lakes and ponds will be designed. Also the bank shelters for fish stock will be suggested. For slope stabilization will be used reinforcement of fresh willow fences. Impermeable shoots or disintegrating oxbow lakes will be projected in the straight sections of the flow.

L’ébullition est un mode de transfert de chaleur intervenant dans de nombreux systèmes thermiques ou énergétiques de par son efficacité. Dans certains, elle se produit à basse pression. La pression statique induite par la colonne de liquide au-dessus de la surface de formation des bulles n’est alors pas négligeable devant la pression de saturation à la surface libre. Dès lors, la pression et le sous-refroidissement induit ne peuvent plus être considérés homogènes autour des bulles, d’où des inhomogénéités des propriétés thermophysiques dans le fluide. Les influences relatives des forces s’exerçant sur une bulle pendant sa croissance sont modifiées par rapport aux pressions plus élevées : une dynamique de bulles différente apparaît. Ces conditions particulières affectent également les transferts thermiques. L’influence de la pression sur l’ébullition en vase a été étudiée expérimentalement dans le régime de bulles isolées en site unique. L’eau a d’abord été testée sur une large gamme de pressions subatmosphériques. Quatre comportements de dynamique de bulles ont été identifiés d’après la visualisation par caméra rapide. Plusieurs paramètres de la dynamique ont été quantifiés grâce à un traitement d’images adapté appliqué aux vidéos. Pour généraliser le concept d’ébullition à « basse pression » et mieux en appréhender les phénomènes fondamentaux, de nouveaux essais ont été réalisés avec un second fluide, le cyclohexane, choisi pour sa similitude thermodynamique avec l’eau bouillant en deçà de la pression atmosphérique. La comparaison des comportements des deux fluides a permis d’identifier certains paramètres responsables des spécificités du phénomène. En outre, de nouvelles fonctionnalités sont apportées au dispositif expérimental pour – notamment – effectuer la mesure rapide du flux transféré sous la bulle pendant sa croissance, synchroniser ces mesures thermiques avec l’acquisition d’images et étudier des surfaces d’ébullition structurées. Les résultats obtenus sont encourageants pour l’analyse des comportements spécifiques de l’ébullition à basse pression et ses applications. / Boiling is an efficient heat transfer mode used in numerous thermal or energy systems. In some systems boiling takes place at low pressure. The static head of the liquid column over the wall where bubbles nucleate is then not negligible against the saturation pressure at the free surface level. The pressure and the induced subcooling degree therefore cannot be considered as homogeneous around growing bubbles, resulting in non-homogeneous thermophysical properties in the fluid. The relative influence of the forces acting on a growing bubble differs from higher pressure conditions, yielding specific bubble dynamics features. Heat transfer is consequently also affected. The effect of the pressure on pool boiling was experimentally investigated during the isolated bubbles regime taking place from a single activated nucleation site. Experiments were first conducted with water for a wide range of subatmospheric pressures. Four distinct bubble dynamics behaviors were identified through high-speed camera visualizations. An adapted image processing of the recordings enabled the measurement of several bubble dynamics characteristics. In order to generalize the concept of pool boiling at "low pressure" and to get a better understanding of the related fundamental phenomena, new experiments were performed with a second fluid, cyclohexane, chosen from original thermodynamic similarity with water boiling at pressures lower than atmospheric. The comparison of fluids’ behaviors made possible the identification of parameters governing the specific phenomena occurring during boiling at low pressure. Besides, the experimental facility was improved to provide new functionalities. The high-speed measurement of the heat flux transferred under the growing bubble, its synchronization with the high-speed videos images and the study of boiling on enhanced surfaces are in particular made possible. Results are encouraging for a better understanding of the specific behaviors of low pressure boiling and for its future implementation in practical applications.

Ele utiliza água leve como blindagem, moderador e como fluido refrigerante, o volume desta piscina é de 273m3. Até 1995 a operação do Reator era descontinua, ou seja, operava diariamente sendo desligado no final do dia, a uma potência de 2,0 MW. A partir daquele ano, após algumas modificações de segurança, o Reator passou a operar de forma continua, ou seja, de segunda-feira a quarta-feira sem ser desligado, totalizando 64 horas semanais. A potência também foi aumentando até 4,5 MW em 2012. Em virtude dessas alterações, a saber, operação contínua e do aumento da potência, as doses dos trabalhadores aumentaram e por isso foram realizados vários estudos para diminui-las. Estudos demonstraram que uma das principais limitações para operação de um reator em potência elevada, provém das radiações gama emitidas pelo sódio-24. Outros elementos como magnésio-27, Alumínio-28, Argônio-51, contribuem de forma considerável para a atividade da água da piscina. A introdução de uma camada de água quente em sua superfície, estável e isenta de elementos radioativos com 1,5m a 2m de espessura constituiria uma blindagem às radiações provenientes dos elementos radioativos dissolvidos na água. Estudos de otimização provaram que a instalação da camada quente não era necessária para o regime e potência atual de operação do Reator, pois outros procedimentos adotados eram mais eficazes. A partir desta decisão o serviço de Proteção Radiológica do Reator IEA-R1, montou um programa de avaliação das doses para certificar-se de que elas se mantinham em valores razoáveis baseados em princípios estabelecidos em normas nacionais e internacionais. O intuito deste trabalho é realizar uma análise das doses individuais dos IOE (Individuo Ocupacionalmente Expostos), considerando as mudanças no regime de operação do Reator e sugerir opções de proteção e segurança, viáveis em primeira instância, para reduzir as doses analisadas, visando se chegar aos níveis de referencia de 3 mSv/ano adotados pela instalação em apreço. / Dissertação (Mestrado em Tecnologia Nuclear) / IPEN/D / Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP

We present the main results of linear algebra necessary to develop the theory of codes and then the fundamental concepts of more practical class of codes, the linear error correcting codes. We state the Totobola problem and the Football problem, relating them to the theory of codes and present some bounds for the "covering radius problem"for r = 1 , some values of n. In the last chapter, we conclude the work with some examples that illustrate bounds of coverings for Fn 3 , with r = 2 and 3, and the generalization of the problem, where we present the binary covering radius problem, the case of multiple coverages and the extension of the idea, citing bounds for the cardinality of the codes contained in the vector space over a finite field with any arbitrary number of elements. / O principal objetivo desta dissertação foi construir limitantes inferiores e superiores para o número de elementos de um código corretor de erros de peso constante, contido no espaço vetorial Fn 3 , onde F3 é um corpo contendo três elementos, a partir de parâmetros como comprimento e distância mínima do código.

Why do communal conflicts turn violent in some regions but not in others? Communal conflicts pose a severe threat to human security and kill thousands of people each year, but our understanding of this phenomenon is still limited. In particular, we lack knowledge about why some of these conflicts become violent while others are resolved peacefully. This study addresses this knowledge gap and has a novel approach by addressing subnational variations that are unexplained by previous research. The theoretical framework combines insights from three different perspectives focusing on the role of the state, elite interactions, and conditions for cooperation over common resources. Empirically, the research question is investigated by combining within- and between-region analyses of three Sudanese regions: Darfur, Eastern Sudan, and Greater Upper Nile. Despite sharing several similar characteristics, communal conflicts have killed thousands in Darfur and Greater Upper Nile but only a few dozen in Eastern Sudan. The empirical analysis builds on extensive material collected during fieldwork. This study generates several conclusions about the importance of government conduct and how state behavior contributes to the prevalence of violent communal conflicts. It finds that when governments act in a biased manner – favoring certain communities over others – interactions between central and local elites as well as among local elites are disrupted. Unconstructive elite interactions, in turn, have negative effects on three mechanisms that are crucial for communal cooperation. First, when the regime is biased, communal affiliation, rather than the severity and context of a violation, determines the sanctions that are imposed on the perpetrators. Second, government bias leads to unclear boundaries, which contribute to violent communal conflicts by creating disarray and by shifting power balances between the communities. Third, regime partiality distances rules from local conditions and restricts the influence of local actors who have an understanding of local circumstances. The study also reveals why a regime acts with partiality in some areas but not in others. The answer to this question is found in the complex interplay between the threats and opportunities that a region presents to the regime. Taken together, the findings have important implications for the prevention and management of communal conflict.

Au cours de ce travail, un modèle physique et numérique 3D du procédé de soudage à l’arc TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) a été développé dans l’objectif de prédire, en fonction des paramètres opératoires, les grandeurs utiles au concepteur d’assemblages soudés.Le modèle développé, à l’aide du code de calcul aux éléments finis Cast3M, traite les phénomènes physiques agissant dans la pièce et, plus particulièrement, dans le bain de soudage, l’arc étant traité comme une source. Pour ce faire, les équations non-linéaires de la thermohydraulique couplées à celles de l’électromagnétisme sont résolues en régime stationnaire avec un modèle prenant en compte la surface libre déformable du bain de soudage.Une première étape du développement a porté sur la modélisation des phénomènes électromagnétiques par deux méthodes numériques différentes, à comparer les résultats numériques obtenus avec ceux de la littérature. Ensuite, afin de valider le pouvoir prédictif du modèle, des simulations de différentes configurations de soudage d’intérêt ont été étudiées, en variant la composition chimique du matériau, la vitesse de défilement, la pression d’arc imposée et, plus particulièrement, la position de soudage. Des comparaisons avec des expériences et des modèles numériques de la littérature confirment les bonnes tendances obtenues. Enfin, une approche de la modélisation de l’apport de matière a été abordée et des résultats de cette approche ont été montrés. Notre modèle complet constitue donc une base solide pour le développement de modèles de simulation numérique du soudage (SNS) 3D totalement couplés avec l’arc dans le futur et sera intégré dans le logiciel métier WPROCESS. / In this work, we develop a 3D physical and numerical model of the GTA (gas tungsten arc) welding process in order to predict, for given welding parameters, useful quantities for the designer of welded assembly.The model is developed in the Cast3M finite element software and takes into account the main physical phenomena acting in the workpiece and particularly in the weld pool, subject to source terms modeling the arc part of the welding process. A steady solution of this model is thought for and involves the coupling of the nonlinear thermohydaulics and electromagnetic equations together with the displacement of the deformable free surface of the weld pool.A first step in the development consisted in modeling the electromagnetic phenomena with two different numerical methods, in comparing the numerical results obtained with those of the literature. Then, in order to assess the predictive capability of the model, simulations of various welding configurations are performed : variation in the chemical composition of the material, of the welding speed, of the prescribed arc pressure and of the welding positions, which is a focus of this work, are studied. A good agreement is obtained between the results of our model and other experimental and numerical results of the literature. Eventually, a model accounting for metal filling is proposed and its results are discussed. Thus, our complete model can be seen as a solid foundation towards future totally-coupled 3D welding models including the arc and it will be included in the WPROCESS software dedicated to the numerical simulation of welding.

Orientador: Clarisse Palma da Silva / Resumo: Áreas úmidas são ambientes na interface terrestre e aquática, onde sazonalmente a disponibilidade de água pode estar em excesso ou em escassez. A história geológica da bacia amazônica está intimamente relacionada com a presença de áreas úmidas em grandes extensões espaciais e temporais e em variadas tipologias. Dentre as tipologias de áreas úmidas presentes na Amazônia as áreas alagáveis ao longo das planícies de inundação dos grandes rios são possivelmente as que possuem maior extensão territorial. Esta tese aborda o papel das áreas úmidas para a diversidade de árvores na Amazônia. As florestas que crescem em áreas úmidas possuem menor diversidade de espécies arbóreas em relação às florestas em ambientes terrestres (i.e., florestas de terra-firme); possivelmente devido às limitações ecológicas e fisiológicas relacionadas a saturação hídrica do solo e as inundações periódicas. Entretanto, nas áreas úmidas da Amazônia já foram registradas 3,515 espécies de árvores (Capítulo 2), uma quantidade comparável à da diversidade na Floresta Atlântica. Em relação às florestas de terra-firme da Amazônia, as espécies de árvores que ocorrem em áreas úmidas tendem a apresentar maiores áreas de distribuição e amplitudes de tolerâncias de nicho ao longo da região Neotropical (Capítulo 3). A composição florística e a distância filogenética entre espécies arbóreas nas florestas de várzea da Amazônia central mudam amplamente entre localidades (Capítulo 4). O gradiente ambiental contido entre as ...

Geological history of Amazon basin is closely linked with a huge temporal and spatial extents of wetlands. Nowadays, floodplains (i.e., Vázea and Igapó) are the wetlands with greatest coverage in Amazon. The present thesis is focused on the role of wetlands to tree species diversity in Amazon. Wetland forests have lower tree species diversity than upland forests (i.e., Terra-Firme); most likely due to ecological and physiological limitations. Notwithstanding, in Amazonian wetland forests 3,515 tree species already were recorded, (Chapter 2), which is comparable to tree species diversity in the Atlantic Forest. Wetland tree species show greater ranges sizes and niche breadth compared to tree species do not occur in wetlands (Chapter 3). Floristic compositional turnover and phylogenetic distances between floodplain forests in Central Amazon is high (Chapter 4). The most influential driver of floristic compositional turnover was the geographic distances between localities, whereas phylogenetic distances is driven mainly by the environmental gradients between forests. Furthermore, in general, the most abundant species are those that shows greater co-occurrence associations (Chapter 5). Co-occurrence structure is influenced by biotic interactions like facilitation and competition among species, but also by niche similarities indicated in the evol...

Due to diverse surrounding area and position of isolated large objects suggest itself solving of conception by stages. In the southern part there were suggested new sports halls which have a long term tradition in this area. These buildings keep to the axis of Sportovní street and they are reacting to existing buildings on the other side. In the northern part at the shopping centre it was necessary make the place accesible and grass the place over and use the opportunity of the large space. In the northeastern part there is housing development and it reacts on the FRRMS building and it makes confotable enviroment for living. Buildings FRRMS together with rampats and bushy vegetation are isolating flat buildings. Effort to connect existing and establish new resulted in the simple solution solution that does not disrupt the neighborhood, on the contrary, trying to blend in with the city and calm the chaos in this area.
