The aim of this article is to describe the current status and understanding and the clinical data related to the effects of Tight Glucose Control by Intensive Insulin therapy, TGCIIT, in critically ill patients. Recent prospectively collected data, from one centre, demonstrated decreases of mortality and of various other outcomes in critically ill patients treated with TGCIIT. These results are currently awaiting confirmation, although available data from prospective multi-centre studies do not seem to support the external validity of the beneficial effects of TGCIIT titrated to restore blood glucose between 80 and 110 mg/dl. Also, recent data raised new closely related and relevant issues including the variability of blood glucose, the risks of hypoglycaemia, and the delineation of the categories of patients in whom TGCIIT could bring an actual benefit.

La limitation des trafics routiers et de la dépendance automobile correspond à un objectif stratégique pour les autorités de nombreux pays et régions. Dans ce cadre, les aménageurs mettent en avant le projet de la « ville compacte écomobile », visant à canaliser les développements de l’urbanisation sur des sites accessibles par les alternatives à la voiture. Face au fort développement des mobilités quotidiennes internationales et transrégionales, cet article analyse une thématique encore peu prospectée par la recherche en aménagement, celle de la ville compacte écomobile en contexte transfrontalier. Nos travaux se sont focalisés sur la Wallonie et ses régions avoisinantes, en nous basant sur une analyse des plans stratégiques d’aménagement du territoire. Cet exercice montre combien la concurrence entre régions et la difficile organisation des transports publics qui caractérisent les espaces transfrontaliers complexifient l’endiguement de l’urbanisation et la limitation de la dépendance automobile.

Filtering inertia-gravity waves from the initial conditions of the linear shallow water equations

A method for filtering inertia-gravity waves from elevation and depth-averaged velocity is described. This filtering scheme is derived from the linear shallow water equations for constant depth and constant Coriolis frequency. The filtered solution is obtained by retaining only the eigenvectors corresponding to the geostrophic equilibrium and by discarding explicitly the eigenvectors corresponding to the fast moving inertia-gravity waves. An alternative formulation is derived using a variational approach. Both filtering methods are tested numerically for a periodic domain with constant depth and the variational approach is implemented for a closed domain with large topographic variations. The filtering methods significantly reduce the amplitudes of the inertia-gravity waves while preserving the mean flow. The variational method is compared to the Incremental Analysis Update technique and the benefits of the variational filter are presented. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. [less ▲]

Time-domain homogenization of windings in 2-D finite element models

In this paper, the authors propose an original time-domain extension of the frequency-domain homogenization of multiturn windings in finite element (FE) models. For the winding type in hand (e.g., round conductor with hexagonal packing), an elementary FE model is used for determining dimensionless frequency and time-domain coefficients regarding skin and proximity effect. These coefficients are readily utilized for homogenizing the winding in the FE model of the complete device. The method is successfully applied to an axisymmetric 103-turn inductor. The results agree very well with those obtained by an accurate but very expensive FE model in which all turns are finely discretized. [less ▲]

Research and development in Europe in the field of muscle science and meat technology

The aim of the Journées des Sciences du Muscle et Technologies de la Viande is to give a report on the most recent research works to the technical, economical and scientific actors of the meat production and transformation chain. The topics of these researches and the organisations that carry them out evolve with time, depending in particular to the needs of the actors (producers, manufacturers, distributors, consumers) and of the socio-economic context. In addition, these researches fit themselves more than ever in an international context, particularly on a European level. The objective of this lecture, a somewhat ambitious idea, is to give an overview of the researches undertaken in Europe in muscle science and meat technology field. [less ▲]
