This thesis examined the relationships of the conceptions of sport ability, achievement goals, and intrinsic motivation in Physical Education. Studies 1 and 2 investigated the psychometric properties of the Conceptions of the Nature of Athletic Ability Questionnaire (CNAAQ), a measure of sport ability beliefs. Results showed that the revised version of the scale possesses sound psychometric properties in assessing sport ability beliefs among children and youth. In addition, the relationships between ability beliefs, goal orientations, perceived competence, and behavioural indicators (intentions and amotivation) were also examined in the first two studies. An incremental belief predicted task orientation, whereas an entity belief predicted ego orientation. Intentions to be physically active were predicted by goal orientations indirectly through perceived competence, and directly by task orientation. In addition, amotivation was predicted directly and indirectly by ability beliefs and directly by achievement goals. Specifically, entity beliefs directly predicted amotivation, task orientation negatively predicted amotivation. Study 3 examined the interrelationships between ability beliefs, achievement goals, perceived competence, behavioural regulation, and arnotivation using cluster analysis. Five distinct clusters were identified based on these motivational constructs and these profiles were found to be related to perceived physical self-worth and levels of sport participation. Study 4 experimentally manipulated sport ability beliefs and examined their causal influence on achievement goals and motivation patterns when faced with failure. The causal link between ability beliefs and goals was supported. Ability attributions for failure were stronger for entity theorists compared to incremental theorists. However, hypotheses predicting differences on effort attributions, affective reactions, and behavioural markers were not supported. Study 5 examined the effects of goal involvement on enjoyment and intrinsic motivation under positive feedback. The results suggested that task-involved and ego-involved participants did not differ in self-reported enjoyment and free-choice behaviour measure. However, the free-choice behaviour of the ego-involved participants may not be fully intrinsically motivated. In addition, autonomous communication increased the positive effects of task and ego involvement on intrinsic motivation and enjoyment, whereas controlling communication had an undermining effect. Overall, results show that high incremental beliefs and high task orientation facilitate adaptive motivational patterns. Autonomy-supportive contexts also enhanced students' task motivation compared to controlling contexts.

Untersuchungen zur Dauerhaftigkeit von ARGlasbewehrung im Textilbeton haben gezeigt, dass durch die Alkalität des Betons in Verbindung mit Feuchtigkeit eine Glaskorrosion hervorgerufen wird, die im Laufe der Zeit zu Festigkeitsverlusten des Glases führt. Eine Möglichkeit, die durch die Glaskorrosion verursachten Festigkeitsverluste zu reduzieren, stellt die Polymermodifikation des Betons dar. Durch die Polymerzugabe wird die Wasseraufnahme der Feinbetonmatrix reduziert, dadurch sinkt der Gehalt an gelösten Alkalien im Bereich der Bewehrung. Um den Einfluss verschiedener Feinbetonmatrices auf die Dauerhaftigkeit von Textilbeton beurteilen zu können, sind u. a. zeit- und tiefenabhängige Informationen zur Feuchteverteilung erforderlich, die durch den Einsatz der NMR-Technik gewonnen werden. Der nachfolgende Artikel beschreibt den Feuchtetransport in einer speziell für den Textilbeton entwickelten Feinbetonmatrix sowie den Einfluss verschiedener Modifikationsstoffe auf das Wasseraufnahmeverhalten des Betons. / Durability tests of textile reinforced concrete revealed a loss of strength of the AR-glass reinforcement due to glass corrosion effected by the alkalinity and moisture content of the concrete. In order to reduce this strength loss of AR-glass in cementitious matrices, polymers can be used for concrete modification. The aim of the polymer addition is to reduce the amount of capillary water absorption of the matrix, which reduces the amount of free alkalies closed to the reinforcement. In order to evaluate the effect of the concrete matrix on the durability of TRC, it is necessary to determine the moisture content as functions of time and depth. This data can be obtained by the use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique. This paper deals with the moisture transport in a finegrained concrete matrix especially developed for the use in TRC as well as the influence of polymer addition on the water absorption properties of the concrete matrix.

Over the last decade, the rapid growth and adoption of the World Wide Web has further exacerbated user needs for e±cient mechanisms for information and knowledge location, selection, and retrieval. How to gather useful and meaningful information from the Web becomes challenging to users. The capture of user information needs is key to delivering users' desired information, and user pro¯les can help to capture information needs. However, e®ectively acquiring user pro¯les is di±cult. It is argued that if user background knowledge can be speci¯ed by ontolo- gies, more accurate user pro¯les can be acquired and thus information needs can be captured e®ectively. Web users implicitly possess concept models that are obtained from their experience and education, and use the concept models in information gathering. Prior to this work, much research has attempted to use ontologies to specify user background knowledge and user concept models. However, these works have a drawback in that they cannot move beyond the subsumption of super - and sub-class structure to emphasising the speci¯c se- mantic relations in a single computational model. This has also been a challenge for years in the knowledge engineering community. Thus, using ontologies to represent user concept models and to acquire user pro¯les remains an unsolved problem in personalised Web information gathering and knowledge engineering. In this thesis, an ontology learning and mining model is proposed to acquire user pro¯les for personalised Web information gathering. The proposed compu- tational model emphasises the speci¯c is-a and part-of semantic relations in one computational model. The world knowledge and users' Local Instance Reposito- ries are used to attempt to discover and specify user background knowledge. From a world knowledge base, personalised ontologies are constructed by adopting au- tomatic or semi-automatic techniques to extract user interest concepts, focusing on user information needs. A multidimensional ontology mining method, Speci- ¯city and Exhaustivity, is also introduced in this thesis for analysing the user background knowledge discovered and speci¯ed in user personalised ontologies. The ontology learning and mining model is evaluated by comparing with human- based and state-of-the-art computational models in experiments, using a large, standard data set. The experimental results are promising for evaluation. The proposed ontology learning and mining model in this thesis helps to develop a better understanding of user pro¯le acquisition, thus providing better design of personalised Web information gathering systems. The contributions are increasingly signi¯cant, given both the rapid explosion of Web information in recent years and today's accessibility to the Internet and the full text world.

Trace gas (CO2 and its carbon and oxygen isotopes, CH4, CO, H2 and N2O) vertical profile data above Cape Grim, Tasmania for the period April 1992 to February 1997 are investigated. A climatology of the distribution of each trace gas has been compiled from statistical treatment of the raw data. These climatologies are useful for verification of transport model outputs. Here, the CO2 climatology is compared to simulation results from two transport models (Melbourne University Transport Model and TM2Z) using three different sets of CO2 fluxes separately (compiled with different methods by different authors). Large discrepancies are found between simulations and observations, especially in the free troposphere (4-6 km). By considering emission ratios, trajectories, satellite fire counts and simulation with biomass burning fluxes, the influence of tropical biomass burning plumes on the southeastern Australian region in the austral winter/spring is studied and quantified. This identification process requires a multiple-species approach where the large CO anomalies and the unexpected behaviour of H2 are most revealing. The frequent presence of burning plumes in the mid troposphere complicates one of the original motivations for the Cape Grim Overflight Program, which is to estimate the air-sea exchange of CO2 in this region. A suggestion arising from analysis of pre-1992 aircraft sampling in this region was that the regional CO2 air-sea flux south of Australia is exceptionally large.

Η ραγδαία ανάπτυξη του Παγκόσμιου Ιστού τα τελευταία χρόνια έχει προκαλέσει την αύξηση του εκπαιδευτικού υλικού που είναι διαθέσιμο σε ηλεκτρονική μορφή, με αποτέλεσμα η αναζήτηση και η εύρεση των ψηφιακών εκπαιδευτικών υλικών να γίνεται όλο και πιο δύσκολη. Για αυτό το λόγο τα ψηφιακά εκπαιδευτικά αντικείμενα, ή αλλιώς Μαθησιακά Αντικείμενα (Learning Objects) πρέπει να περιγράφονται με τη χρήση εκπαιδευτικών μεταδεδομένων έτσι ώστε να διευκολύνονται οι λειτουργίες της εύρεσης, ανάκτησης, κατηγοριοποίησης και επαναχρησιμοποίησης των αντικειμένων. Τα τελευταία χρόνια έχουν δημιουργηθεί αρκετά αποθέματα για την αποθήκευση ψηφιακών εκπαιδευτικών αντικειμένων, όπως είναι το DSpace, το EPrints και το Fedora. Τα ψηφιακά αποθέματα κάνουν χρήση μεταδεδομένων για τα ψηφιακά αντικείμενα που αποθηκεύονται στο σύστημά τους. Συχνά όμως παρατηρείται ότι ενώ η κύρια χρήση των αποθεμάτων είναι για εκπαιδευτικούς σκοπούς, δεν δίνεται η δυνατότητα να εμπλουτίζονται τα εκπαιδευτικά αντικείμενα που αποθηκεύονται στα αποθέματα με μεταδεδομένα εκπαιδευτικού τύπου. Κατά συνέπεια, ο κύριος στόχος της διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι να μελετήσει τα διαθέσιμα πρότυπα εκπαιδευτικών μεταδεδομένων και να επεκτείνει τα υπάρχοντα σύνολα μεταδεδομένων των ψηφιακών αποθεμάτων ώστε να συμπεριλαμβάνουν και μεταδεδομένα εκπαιδευτικού σκοπού. Για να επιβεβαιωθούν τα αποτελέσματα της συγκεκριμένης μελέτη έγινε εφαρμογή της σε ένα πραγματικό εκπαιδευτικό απόθεμα που αναπτύχθηκε στα πλαίσια του ΕΠΕΑΕΚ ΙΙ για το Πανεπιστήμιο Πατρών. Βασικό χαρακτηριστικό των εκπαιδευτικών αποθεμάτων είναι και η διαλειτουργικότητα με άλλα συστήματα. Η διαλειτουργικότητα εξασφαλίζει τη συνεργασία του συστήματος με άλλα αποθέματα επιτρέποντας τη συγκομιδή και αξιοποίηση των ψηφιακών αντικειμένων και από άλλα αποθέματα. Για το λόγο αυτό μελετάται το πώς μπορεί να επιτευχθεί η διαλειτουργικότητα ενός συστήματος ώστε να αξιοποιούνται και τα εκπαιδευτικά μεταδεδομένα του αποθέματος, μέσω της υπηρεσίας ΟΑΙ-PMH, που υποστηρίζεται από τα περισσότερα αποθέματα, αλλά και μέσω της καινούριας υπηρεσίας OAI-ORE. Η υλοποίηση της διαλειτουργικότητας στα πλαίσια της συγκεκριμένης εργασίας επικεντρώνεται στο σύστημα DSpace. Ο Σημαντικός Ιστός (Semantic Web) αποτελεί την εξέλιξη του Παγκόσμιου Ιστού. Στον Σημαντικό Ιστό οι πληροφορίες περιγράφονται από δεδομένα αποκτώντας συγκεκριμένη σημασία και δίνοντας έτσι τη δυνατότητα στις μηχανές να επεξεργαστούν δεδομένα που μέχρι σήμερα ήταν κατανοητά μόνο από τους ανθρώπους. Έτσι, γίνεται μελέτη ώστε να επιτευχθεί η δυνατότητα σημασιακής διαλειτουργικότητας στα αποθέματα και συγκεκριμένα στο DSpace. Με τον τρόπο αυτό γίνεται δυνατή η συνδιαλλαγή και διαπραγμάτευση πληροφοριών μεταξύ συστημάτων, οι οποίες, ενώ μπορεί να είναι κατά βάση ετερογενείς, προερχόμενες από πολλαπλές πηγές και αδόμητες σημασιακά, μπορούν να συσχετίζονται και, βάσει συμπερασμών, να συνδυάζονται κατάλληλα με στόχο την ανακάλυψη νέας γνώσης. / The rapid growth of World Wide Web in the last years has led to an increase of the educational material that is available in digital way. As a result of this, searching and discovering of digital educational material is becoming more and more difficult. For this reason, digital education objects, or Learning Objects, have to be described using education metadata in order to facilitate searching, retrieval, classification and reuse of these objects. In the recent years, a lot of repositories have been built to store digital educational objects, like DSpace, EPrints and Fedora. Digital repositories make use of metadata to describe digital objects that are stored in their system. But we can note that although the main use of these repository systems is for educational purposes, we do not have the ability to enrich learning objects that are stored in these systems with educational metadata. Therefore, the main purpose of this thesis is to study the available educational metadata standards and to extend the available metadata sets of digital repositories in order to include and support metadata for education purposes. A main feature of most educational repositories is interoperability with other systems. Interoperability assures the cooperation of one repository with others by allowing the harvesting and using of digital objects stored in one place by other systems and services. For this reason, it is studied how educational metadata can be incorporated in a repository’s interoperability services, and mainly in the OAI-PMH service, which is supported by most repositories, but also in a new service named OAI-ORE. The implementation of these interoperability services is focused on the DSpace system. Finally, Semantic Web is the evolution of World Wide Web. In Semantic Web information is described by data, so this information gains meaning which gives the ability to machines to process this information which till now was meaningful only to humans. So, it is also studied how semantic interoperability can be achieved between repositories and specifically between repositories based on DSpace. This will give the ability to exchange information between systems. Although this information may come from different and heterogeneous sources, and although this information may be semantically unstructured, it can be associated and combined in order to discover new knowledge.

Bakgrunden för denna studie är problematiken kring beslutsfattande. Tidigare forskning visar att en individ dagligen fattar en mängd medvetna och omedvetna beslut. Dessa beslut faller sig olika utefter vilka erfarenheter, preferenser och känslor individen har och hur detta påverkar individen vid köp av dyra sällanköpsvaror. Syftet med studien är att identifiera faktorer och personlighetstyper som influerar köparens beslut gällande dyra sällanköpsvaror. / The aim of this study is to identify factors and personality characteristics influencing the buyer's decision regarding expensive durable goods. The findings suggest how to apply knowledge and awareness of the decision process in on-site presentation to improve the efficiency of the selling process from the sellers’ perspective.

Cold bosonic atoms trapped in optical lattices formed by standing wave interference patterns of multiple laser beams constitute excellent emulators of models of strongly correlated quantum systems of bosons. In this thesis, we develop and deploy strong-coupling expansion (i.e., an expansion in terms of the ratio of the inter-site hopping amplitude of the bosons to the strength of their interactions) techniques for studying the properties of three different instances of such systems. In the first instance, we have used strong coupling expansion techniques to calculate the density pro le for bosonic atoms trapped in an optical lattice with an overall harmonic trap at finite temperatures and large on site interaction in the presence of super fluid regions. Our results match well with quantum Monte Carlo simulations at finite temperature. We present calculations for the entropy per particle as a function of temperature which can be used to calibrate the temperature in experiments. Our calculations for the scaled density in the vacuum-to-super fluid transition agree well with the experimental data for appropriate temperatures. We also discuss issues connected with the demonstration of universal quantum critical scaling in the experiments. Experimental realizations of “atomtronic" Josephson junctions have recently been created in annular traps in relative rotation with respect to potential barriers that generate the weak links. If these devices are additionally subjected to optical lattice potentials, then they can incorporate strong-coupling Mott physics within the design, which can modify the behaviour and can allow for interesting new configurations of system generated barriers and of super fluid ow patterns. we have examined theoretically the behavior of a Bose super fluid in an optical lattice in the presence of an annular trap and a barrier across the annular region which acts as a Josephson junction. As the fluid is rotated relative to the barrier, it generates circulating super-currents until, at larger speeds of rotation, it develops phase slips which are typically accompanied by vortices. We use a finite temperature strong-coupling expansion about the mean- held solution of the Bose Hubbard model to calculate various properties of the device. In addition, we discuss some of the rich behavior that can result when there are Mott regions within the system. Rubidium-Cesium dipolar molecule formation through Feshbach resonance is an area of great current interest, for, the dipolar molecules, once formed, interact via v long range dipolar forces, leading to possibilities of novel phases. Experimentalists currently make such systems mostly using trial and error, and the resulting efficiencies for molecule formation tend to be low. With a goal to assist cold-atom experimentalists to achieve higher e ciencies of molecule formation, we have estimated the trap parameters for Rb and Cs atoms in a 3D optical lattice required to create single occupancy per site Mott phase for both the species in the same regions of the trap. We thus identify the ne tuning of the external magnetic held near Rb-Cs Feshbach resonance required to achieve highest probability for creating single Rb-Cs Feshbach molecules in the system. We have used the Falicov-Kimball model to describe the relevant system and strong-coupling expansions about the mean- held solution to calculate the density pro les for both species and efficiency for molecule formation, determined by overlapping regions of single occupancy for both Rb and Cs, up to second order in the expansion. We also calculate the entropy per particle which serves as an estimation of the temperature in the experimental system

La prédiction du devenir du greffon et de sa survie permettrait d’optimiser la prise en charge des patients transplantés. Le suivi des patients transplantés rénaux inclue des mesures répétées de marqueurs longitudinaux tels que la créatinine sérique et l’exposition aux médicaments immunosuppresseurs. L’approche statistique récemment proposée des modèles conjoints permet d’analyser la relation entre un processus longitudinal et la survenue d’un événement clinique. Dans la première partie de ce travail de thèse, nous avons utilisé les modèles conjoints à classes latentes pour étudier l’impact du profil de créatinine sérique au cours des 18 premiers mois post-greffe sur la survie du greffon à long terme. Dans la cohorte étudiée, trois groupes homogènes caractérisés par une trajectoire spécifique de l’évolution de la créatinine sérique en fonction du temps et un risque d’échec de greffe spécifique ont été identifiés. Les probabilités individuelles de l’échec de greffe pendant les 10 premières années post-transplantation ont été calculées sur la base du modèle conjoint développé. Chez les patients qui n’avaient pas développé d’anticorps anti-HLA spécifiques du donneur, le risque d’échec de greffe en fonction du temps était prédit avec un niveau de performance satisfaisant en termes de spécificité, sensibilité et précision.L’utilité clinique de cet outil devra être évaluée avec une approche dynamique. Dans une seconde partie, les modèles non linéaires à effets mixtes combinés avec l’approche des modèles de mélange a été utilisée pour analyser (i) l’association entre la variabilité de l’exposition au tacrolimus au cours du temps et l’adhésion au traitement rapportée par le patient et (ii) l’impact de cette variabilité d’exposition sur le risque de rejet aigu. Ce modèle a montré un effet significatif de la variabilité de l’exposition au cours du temps du tacrolimus sur la survenu de rejet aigu au-delà de 3 mois post-transplantation. Au contraire, aucune association entre l’adhésion et la variabilité de l’exposition au tacrolimus d’une part, et le risque de rejet aigu d’autre part n’a été observée dans cette étude qui n’incluait que des patients modérément non-adhérents. Ce résultat pose la question de l’impact d’une non adhésion modérée sur le devenir du greffon. / Prediction of graft outcome would be useful to optimize patient care. Follow-up of kidneytransplant patients include repeated measurements of longitudinal markers, such as serum creatinine and immunosuppressive drug exposure. Recently proposed joint models areappropriate to analyze relationship between longitudinal processes and time-to-event data. In the first part of present work, we used the approach of joint latent class mixed models tostudy the impact of time-profiles of serum creatinine collected within the first 18 months after kidney transplantation on long-term graft survival. The studied cohort was parted into three homogenous classes with a specific time-evolution of serum creatinine and a specific risk of graft failure. The individual predicted probabilities of graft failure up to 10 years posttransplantation, calculated from this joint model were satisfying in terms of sensitivity, specificity and overall accuracy, for patients who had not developed de novo donor specificanti-HLA antibodies. The clinical usefulness of developed predictive tooI needs to beevaluated with a dynamic approach. In the second part, non-linear mixed effects models witha mixture of distribution for random effects were used to investigate (i) the associationbetween variability over time of tacrolimus exposure and self-reported drug adherence and(ii) the impact of this variability on the acute rejection risk. This model found a significantimpact of tacrolimus time-exposure variability on acute rejection onset beyond 3 months posttransplantation. On the contrary, no association between adherence and (i) variability oftacrolimus time-exposure and (ii) acute rejection was observed in our study which included moderate non-adherent patients only. This result questions the impact of moderate nonadherence on graft outcome.

The wells that had a geologic profile totaling 516 were analyzed according to their lithological characteristics technical-constructive aspects and hydrogeological parameters. After the bibliographic revision and the well’s reports gathering the data contained on that reports were organized in sheets maps tables graphics and figures. So then 274 lithological profiles of the 516 recorded were selected to elaborate the fourteen geologic profiles being seven on N-S direction and seven on W-E direction. These geological profiles allowed a better view of the sedimentary packages as well as the crystalline basement and its contour allowing a much more accurate interpretation about the way the sedimentary domain behaves compared to the top of the basement. From the profiles analysis was conclusive that the sedimentary package tends to increase its thickness when approaches the coast. It was observed that the sedimentary domain contains a Carbonate Formation located on the N/NE part of the area classified at first as a infra-Barreiras formation that becomes more thick when approaches the coast zone. It is worth mentioning that the sedimentary package has a more embracing geometry than that related on previous studies. The analysis of that profiles also revealed elevated parts of the basement (structural highs) and depocenters assimilated to horsts and grabens in N-S direction. Analyzing the top and base data of the 137 wells that contains the mantle of alteration from the basement it was possible to draw its contour and measure the average of its thickness that is something about seventeen meters. Among the structures we can highlight the lineaments located on the east part of NW-SE direction and in the center-south part of NE-SW direction. Secondly the faults of NE direction and the fractures of NE NW and W-E direction are observed in the W SW S center-south and SE parts of the area. Apparently the great drainage segments were affected by the lineaments faults and fractures. On the sedimentary hydrogeological domain the hydrogeological parameters presented the following values: from the data collected on 267 wells that had a profile the average of the Static Level presented was 8.4 meters and from 265 wells with a profile the average output presented was 416 m³/h. Now on the crystalline hydrogeological domain the average values was: from the data collected on 237 wells the average of the Static Level was 8.85 meters and from data collected on 236 wells the average output was 41 m³/h. Now the saturated thickness (here considered the sum of the filter columns) calculated from 378 wells presented an average of 24.4 meters with a standard deviation below 20% which attests a tolerable average dispersion. / A pesquisa visando a Caracterização Geométrica do Domínio Geológico Sedimentar de Fortaleza teve como base o cadastro de poços tubulares SIAGAS/CPRM (Companhia de Pesquisa e Recursos Minerais) e da empresa GEOHIDRO (Geologia Hidrogeologia e Serviços Ltda.) que somados totalizam 1166 poços tubulares cadastrados até dezembro de 2012. Os poços que apresentam perfil litológico em um total de 516 foram analisados segundo suas características litológicas aspectos técnico-construtivos e parâmetros hidrogeológicos. Após a revisão bibliográfica e a coleta dos relatórios de poços os dados contidos nestes relatórios foram organizados em planilhas mapas tabelas gráficos e figuras. Foram então selecionados 274 perfis litológicos dos 516 perfis cadastrados para a elaboração de 14 perfis geológicos sendo 7 perfis geológicos na direção N-S e 7 perfis geológicos na direção W-E. Estes perfis permitiram uma melhor visualização dos pacotes sedimentares assim como do embasamento cristalino e de seu contorno possibilitando uma interpretação mais precisa da forma como se comporta o domínio sedimentar em relação ao topo do embasamento cristalino. Da análise dos perfis geológicos concluiu-se que o pacote sedimentar tende a aumentar sua espessura na medida em que se aproxima do litoral. Foi observado que o domínio sedimentar contém uma Formação Calcária localizada na porção N/NE da área classificada a prori como Infra-Barreiras que se torna mais espessa à medida que se aproxima da zona litorânea. Vale ressaltar que o pacote sedimentar tem uma geometria mais abrangente do que a relatada em trabalhos anteriores. A análise desses perfis revelou ainda altos estruturais e depocentros assemelhados a horst e graben alinhados na direção N-S. Analisando os dados de topo e base dos 137 poços que contém o manto alterado foi possível desenhar o seu contorno e medir sua espessura média que é de aproximadamente 17 metros. Dentre as estruturas podem ser destacados os lineamentos situados na porção oeste de direção NW-SE e na porção centro-sul de direção NE-SW. Secundariamente a falha de sentido NEe as fraturas de sentido NE NW e W-E são observadas nas porções W SW S centro-sul e SE da área. Aparentemente os grandes seguimentos da drenagem foram influenciados pelos lineamentos falhas e fraturas do terreno. No domínio hidrogeológico sedimentar os parâmetros hidrogeológicos apresentaram os valores que se seguem: a partir de dados colhidos em 267 poços com perfil a média do Nível Estático (NE) apresentada foi de 84 metros e a partir de 265 poços com perfil a Vazão média (Q média) apresentada foi de 416 m³/h. Já no domínio hidrogeológico cristalino os parâmetros hidrogeológicos apresentaram os seguintes valores: a partir de dados colhidos em 237 poços a média do Nível Estático (NE) apresentada foi de 885 metros e a partir de dados colhidos em 236 poços a Vazão média (Q média) apresentada foi de 41 m³/h. Já a espessura saturada (aqui considerada o somatório da coluna de filtros) calculada a partir dos dados de 378 poços apresentou uma média de 244 metros com desvio padrão abaixo de 20% o que atesta uma dispersão média tolerável.

Les territoires ruraux disposent du principal gisement d’énergie renouvelable en France. Les réseaux énergétiques y sont moins denses que dans les zones urbaines et certains vecteurs, tels que le gaz, en sont souvent absents. Or, alors que les systèmes énergétiques urbains ont été abondamment étudiés, les spécificités de la demande énergétique rurale restent méconnues, notamment dans le secteur résidentiel. Des travaux récents mettent en avant les enjeux liés à la décentralisation du système énergétique français et le besoin d’une connaissance fine de l’offre et de la demande, tant sur le plan spatial que temporel. Ce travail de thèse poursuit deux objectifs. Tout d’abord il s’attache à identifier les spécificités de la consommation énergétique des logements ruraux par rapport aux logements urbains. Ensuite, il vise à analyser la réponse que peut apporter le gisement local d’énergie renouvelable à la demande résidentielle sur un territoire mixte urbain-rural, dans une optique de territoire à énergie positive – équilibre annuel entre l’offre et la demande énergétique du territoire. / Rural areas have the main resources of renewable energy in France. Energy networks are less dense there than in urban areas and some energy vectors, like gas, are often missing. However, as urban energy systems have been widely studied, the specificities of rural energy demand remain little-known, especially for the residential sector. Recent works highlight new challenges related to decentralization of the French energy system and the need for fine knowledge of demand and supply, on both spatial and time scales. This research work pursues two objectives. First, it commits to identify the specificities of rural housing energy consumption. Then, it aims at analyzing the potential response of local renewable energy sources to the residential demand in a mixed urban-rural territory, in a 100 % RES process – equilibrium between annual energy demand and supply on the territory.
