Integrated strategic and tactical optimization of animal-waste sourced biopower supply chains
International audience—Many models have been recently developed for the optimization of biomass related supply chains. However, models for biopower supply chains powered by animal waste have not received much attention yet. In this paper, we propose a mixed integer linear programming model for supplier selection and procurement planning for a biopower plant. The model integrates time window constraints for the collection of animal waste as well as inventory constraints. We show that the model is intractable with a state-of-the art commercial solver and propose a heuristic approach based on the Adaptive Large Neighbourhood Search (ALNS) framework. We show the efficiency of this approach on a case study in central France
Baroque de surcharge et baroque de mouvement
Communication La passion du baroque Je n’ai pas participé depuis 1966 aux sessions organisées par M. Castan ; j’avais déjà, dans la première session, donné quelques témoignages sur Le Bernin et son art apprécié par la France, et en particulier sur le témoignage de l’abbé de La Chambre. J’avais insisté sur le Baroque de mouvement. À la session suivante, en 1966, je vous avais entretenu du théâtre et des fêtes, des décors et là j’avais déjà fait état de la notion des deux Baroques qui me paraî..
Des choses de la nature et de leurs droits
The purpose of environmental law is to protect nature, to fight against pollution and nuisances, to improve the quality of life and public health. In light of recent legal innovations, the author examines the transformations that environmental law has brought to our civil law tradition. Starting from the hypothesis that it is possible, but also desirable, to view environmental law as something other than an instrument for the commodification of nature, the author revisits contemporary environmental law by drawing inspiration from certain principles of medieval law. She asks to what extent we have not already broken with the modern Western conception, and begun to build a system articulated around the values of ecological service, ecological solidarity, or reparation of ecological damage
Les fêtes théâtrales de Louis XIV et le baroque de la Finta Pazza à Psyché (1645-1671)
À la mort de Louis XIII et de Richelieu, le décor des pièces de théâtre apparaît tout imprégné d’esprit baroque ; on y retrouve la surcharge décorative et la recherche du mouvement, caractères essentiels du baroque. Les décors de la première moitié du siècle, connus par le fameux recueil de Mahelot, manifestaient déjà une grande surabondance, fort ostentatoire : bossages sur les murailles, congélations sculptées, terrasses à balustres, termes étranges ou colonnes torses pour soutenir les enta..
Quelques témoignages français sur Le Bernin et son art - l’Abbé de la Chambre
Nous sommes aujourd’hui si habitués à l’idée d’un « conflit du baroque » en France au xviie siècle que nous y rattachons tout naturellement l’échec qui, en définitive, marqua le séjour en1665 du Bernin en France (fig. 1), le rejet du plan du Louvre, les critiques qui furent faites d’abord au buste du Roi, puis à la statue équestre qui vint le rejoindre à Versailles vingt ans plus tard. Fig. 1 : Le Bernin Les contemporains ont-ils vu ainsi ces événements ? Telle est la question qui nous a pré..

Citrulline malate supplementation does not improve German Volume Training performance or reduce muscle soreness in moderately trained males and females
Background
Use of supplements to aid performance is common practice amongst recreationally active individuals, including those without a sufficient evidence base. This investigation sought to assess whether acute supplementation with 8 g of citrulline malate (CM) (1.11: 1 ratio) would improve anaerobic performance.
Methods
A randomised double blind placebo control trial was employed, using a counterbalanced design. We recruited recreationally active men and women to take part in an isokinetic chair protocol, based on German Volume Training (GVT) whereby participants attempted to perform 10 sets of 10 repetitions against a force representing 70% of their peak concentric force.
Results
The number of repetitions achieved over the course of the GVT was 94.0 ± 7.9 and 90.9 ± 13.9 for placebo and CM respectively. There was no significant difference between the placebo and CM treatment for number of repetitions (P = 0.33), isometric (P = 0.60), concentric (P = 0.38), or eccentric (P = 0.65) peak force following the GVT. Total muscle soreness was significantly higher in the CM compared to the placebo treatment following the GVT protocol over 72 h (P = 0.01); although this was not accompanied by a greater workload/number of repetitions in the CM group.
Conclusions
We conclude that an acute dose of CM does not significantly affect anaerobic performance using an isokinetic chair in recreational active participants. Practical implications include precaution in recommending CM supplementation. Coaches and athletes should be aware of the disparity between the chemical analyses of the products reviewed in the present investigation versus the manufacturers’ claims
La lecture chez l'adulte porteur d'un X-Fragile. Pertinence d'une intervention phonique.
Le syndrome du X-fragile (SXF) se caractérise par un trouble du développement intellectuel impactant notamment les apprentissages scolaires. Beaucoup de personnes arrivent à l'âge adulte en n'ayant pas acquis les savoir-faire de base de la lecture or, dans notre société, pouvoir lire permet d'atteindre un certain degré d'autonomie et favorise l'accès à de nombreuses activités de loisir ou encore à un travail adapté rémunéré.
Malheureusement, il est coutume de considérer que les personnes porteuses d'un TDI modéré ne peuvent apprendre à lire ou que leurs compétences en lecture restent cantonnées à la reconnaissance de quelques mots familiers. Si la variabilité interindividuelle est importante et qu'on ne peut certes affirmer a priori ou prédire qu'une personne pourra ou ne pourra pas atteindre un niveau de lecture autonome, les recherches récentes reprises dans la littérature scientifique montrent que l’apprentissage de la lecture est possible chez un certain nombre de personnes porteuses trouble du développement intellectuel.4.
