The Menderes Massif forms a large metamorphic culmination in western Turkey &amp / #8211 / an extensional province where continental lithosphere has been stretching following Palaeogene crustal thickening. Northern sector of the Massif on the horst between G&ouml / rdes and Demirci Basins was chosen for structural analysis aimed to study the tectono-metamorphic evolution of the northern Menderes Massif. Within the study area, four groups of rocks are recognized: (1) the metamorphic rocks &amp / #8211 / orthogneisses and metasediments / (2) pegmatoids / (3) Neogene sedimentary rocks / and (4) Quaternary alluvial sediments. The tectono-metamorphic history of the region involves a regional metamorphism (M1) at upper-amphibolite-facies conditions, coeval with a top-tothe-NNE contractional D1 deformation during the northward backthrusting of Lycian Nappes (Eocene main Menderes metamorphism). Partial anatexis during the latest stages of the M1 was speculated to be the main mechanism for the formation of the migmatites and the granitic magma. Pegmatoid domes and dikes/sills formed during late increments of this phase. A second metamorphism (M2) and coeval top-to-the-NNE deformation (D2) took place during the Early Miocene exhumation of the metamorphic rocks along a presently low-angle normal fault in an extensional shear zone at presumably greenschist facies conditions during declining P-T conditions. The latest deformation phase (D3) is high-angle normal faulting due to N&amp / #8211 / S extension affecting western Anatolia. The E&amp / #8211 / W grabens dissecting the Massif into northern, central and southern submassifs are the result of this phase, commenced during Pliocene-Pleistocene and gave the western Anatolia much of its present-day shape. The evidence presented supports the idea of episodic two-stage extension in western Turkey.

Title: Parameter Estimation under Two-phase Stratified and Cluster Sampling Author: Mgr. Michaela Šedová Department: Department of Probability and Mathematical Statistics Supervisor: Doc. Mgr. Michal Kulich, Ph.D. Abstract: In this thesis we present methods of parameter estimation under two-phase stratified and cluster sampling. In contrast to classical sampling theory, we do not deal with finite population parameters, but focus on model parameter inference, where the ob- servations in a population are considered to be realisations of a random variable. However, we consider the sampling schemes used, and thus we incorporate much of survey sampling theory. Therefore, the presented methods of the parameter estimation can be understood as a combination of the two approaches. For both sampling schemes, we deal with the concept where the population is considered to be the first-phase sample, from which a sub- sample is drawn in the second phase. The target variable is then observed only for the subsampled subjects. We present the mean value estimation, including the statistical prop- erties of the estimator, and show how this estimation can be improved if some auxiliary information, correlated with the target variable, is observed for the whole population. We extend the method to the regression problem....

Ce travail porte sur l’étude du procédé de projection plasma par voie liquide et en particulier sur l’interaction entre la phase liquide et l’écoulement de plasma. Différents phénomènes physiques ont lieu comme la fragmentation du jet, l’évaporation du liquide et la fusion des particules. La simulation numérique permet de mieux comprendre les phénomènes physiques et vient en appui des expériences qui sont parfois difficiles voire impossibles à réaliser. Un modèle compressible diphasique est développé afin de prendre en compte les effets compressibles du plasma. Des validations sont réalisées sur des cas test académiques et sur un jet d’argon pur. De bons accords sont obtenus entre les simulations et la théorie ou les expériences. Ensuite différents mélanges de gaz plasmagènes, classiquement utilisés en projection plasma, sont étudiés : l’argon/hydrogène et l’argon/hélium.Une analyse du caractère instationnaire et turbulent est ensuite menée et permet de voir l’importance des effets instationnaires dans ces écoulements. Puis des simulations de l’injection de la phase liquide sous forme de gouttes ou de jet continu dans l’écoulement de plasma sont réalisées. L’influence de la nature des gaz plasmagènes et du mode d’injection est démontrée. Les structures observées expérimentalement sont également obtenues parles simulations. / The study of the plasma spraying process is investigated in this work, in particular the interaction between a liquid phase and a plasma flow. Different physical phenomena occureas the jet fragmentation, the liquid vaporization and the particles fusion. The numerical simulation is used to better understand the physical phenomena and is an alternative to experimental measurements, which could be locally difficult to perform because of the measurement techniques limitations and the particular characteristics of the plasma. A compressible two-phase model is developped to take into account the compressible effects of the plasma flow. Validations are realized on academic test cases and on a argonjet. Good agreements are obtained between simulations and theory or experiments. Then different mixtures of plasmagen gas, classically used in plasma spraying, are studied :argon/hydrogen and argon/helium. An analysis of unsteady and turbulent character isled and allows seeing the importance of unsteady effects in these flows. Numerical simulations of the injection of a liquid phase into the plasma flow are realized. The influence of the plasmagen gas nature and the injection type is anlysed. Structures observed by experiments are also obtained by the simulations.

Os conversores estáticos existentes no sistema de propulsão de veículos puramente elétricos e híbridos "plug-in" podem ser utilizados para funções adicionais, diferentes da tração elétrica. Com poucas adaptações nos circuitos eletrônicos do VE é possível integrar funções como recarga de baterias, geração distribuída de energia elétrica e compensação de reativos. Este tipo de aplicação é particularmente interessante no contexto de redes inteligentes de energia elétrica (smart grids). Esta integração de funcionalidades ao VE, além de permitir a redução de custos e economia de recursos naturais, poderá resultar em retorno financeiro aos proprietários destes veículos pela prestação de serviços auxiliares ao sistema elétrico. Neste trabalho é proposta a utilização de veículos elétricos na compensação de harmônicos de corrente e de potência reativa em instalações elétricas residenciais e comerciais, utilizando o próprio sistema de propulsão do VE para operar como filtro ativo de potência, o que pode ser realizado de forma simultânea à recarga do banco de baterias do VE ou durante seu uso como unidade de geração distribuída de ener-gia elétrica (operação no modo V2G, vehicle-to-grid). Sendo o padrão de conexão de VEs à rede de energia elétrica atualmente adotado pela maior parte dos fabricantes de automóveis elétricos baseado em alimentação monofásica (com possibilidade de alimen-tação bifásica), é explorada, neste trabalho, a utilização de um VE na compensação de cargas monofásicas e bifásicas, em condições típicas de instalações elétricas residenciais e comerciais, de forma compatível a tal padrão. A inclusão desta funcionalidade aos VEs pode contribuir para a redução do impacto da eletrificação veicular no sistema elétrico, pois com a diminuição do fluxo de potência reativa e harmônica na rede elé-trica, torna-se maior a sua capacidade disponível para transporte de potência ativa, facilitando o suprimento de energia a novas cargas (que podem ser os próprios VEs). / The gradual replacement of the current internal combustion engine vehicles by elec-tric vehicles (EVs) comes up as being an important factor to the improvement of urban centers environmental conditions, since it enables reduction on the emissions of atmo-spheric pollutants harmful to human health. Additional tasks, apart from traction, can be performed by battery and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle powertrain on-board power electronic converters. It is possible to integrate functions such as battery charge, electric distributed power generation and reactive power compensation with few modifications on the EV electronics circuitry. This kind of application is especially interesting under the context of smart grids. The integration of these additional functions to an electric vehicle is a very desirable feature, since it can result on cost reduction (in comparison to the separated implementation of the integrated functions) and revenue to the owner of the vehicle by providing ancillary services to the electric power system. This work proposes the application of electric vehicles on the compensation of cur-rent harmonic components and reactive power in residential and commercial electricity networks by means of the integration of a shunt active power filter (APF) into their powertrain electronics circuitry, which can simultaneously operate with the EV bat-tery pack charging or during its use as an electric distributed power generator unit (vehicle-to-grid, V2G, operation mode). Since the EV grid connection standard cur-rently adopted by electric automobiles manufacturers is based on a single-phase power supply system (with a possible two-phase power supply connection), this work focuses on the application of an electric vehicle in the compensation of single-phase and two-phase loads under residential and commercial electricity networks typical conditions, in order to meet the compliance to the requirements of such standard. The inclusion of this functionality to EVs can contribute on the reduction of vehicular electrification impact on the electric power system, since the decrease of reactive and harmonic power flow into the grid results in higher available capacity of active power flow in the power conductors, which allows to supply electricity to new electric loads (that can be the EVs themselves).
