Ce questionnaire a été conçu pour alimenter une communication sur "les manuels scolaires de langues étrangères et la problématique de l'équité" présentée au colloque "supports didactiques, pratiques d'enseignement et préoccupations sociologiques sur les inégalités d'apprentissage" organisé dans le cadre du XVIIe Congrès de l'Association Mondiale des Sciences de l'Education (Reims, 3 au 8 juin 2012). Il s'agissait de rassembler des informations sur l'utilisation des manuels par les professeurs de langues étrangères du secondaire supérieur en Communauté française de Belgique. Cette première enquête a été complétée par une deuxième ciblant les étudiants de l'AESS/du Master à finalité didactique en langues et littératures modernes de l'ULg ainsi que par une troisième ciblant les élèves du secondaire. La confrontation de ces différentes sources d'information a permis de nourrir notre communication. [less ▲]

Reconstruction and analysis of QuikSCAT wind measurements with an EOF-based technique

QuikSCAT wind products are often used to provide numerical model atmospheric forcing. However, due to the configuration of the satellite swaths, gaps are frequently observed in the daily wind maps. We present a solution based on truncated EOF decomposition to fill these gaps. [less ▲]

Evaluation of the regional climate model WRF over Svalbard

It is well known that high latitude zones are very sensitive to climate change. As a result of global warming, ice sheet melting has increased which in turn has an influence on climate through modifications of the thermohaline circulation, feedback of ice albedo, sea level rise, … Svalbard is an archipelago between 74 and 81°lat N and 60 percent of its area (62 248 km2) is covered with glaciers and ice sheets. The impact of global warming on the Svalbard cryosphere can be estimated with climate models. However, we need to use regional climate models as they offer the possibility of a higher resolution than general circulation models. We have ran two regional climate models (MAR and WRF) at a 10-kilometre resolution between 2006 and 2010 over Svalbard and compared their simulated climate to near surface measurements at several weather stations through the archipelago in order to determine which one of them could best represent the Svalbard climate.

This work presents aeroelastic simulations of a 2D bluff-body around its pitching degree of freedom. The numerical tool consists in an aerodynamic solver based on the Discrete Vortex Method (DVM), coupled with a linear structural model. The shape of the bluff-body is a sharp edged rectangular cylinder with a side ratio equal to 4. The numerical results are compared to the experimental measurements recently obtained by the authors.8 The validation is carried out in three steps: first the frequency content of the flow-field in the wake of the static body is investigated. Then the simulated unsteady flow-field around the imposed pitching motion of the body is compared to experimental flow visualizations. This comparison is performed using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD). Finally, the simulation of the global aeroelastic behaviour, based on the coupling of the DVM code to the structural model of the pitching degree of freedom is carried out and the results are compared to measured aeroelastic responses.. Very good agreements are found between numerical and experimental results, demonstrating the capabilities of the numerical tool to simulate complex unsteady aerodynamics around an oscillating bluff-body.

We investigate the nucleation of superconductivity in a superconducting Al strip under the influence of the magnetic field generated by a current-carrying Nb wire, perpendicularly oriented and located underneath the strip. The inhomogeneous magnetic field, induced by the Nb wire, produces a spatial modulation of the critical temperature Tc, leading to a controllable localization of the superconducting order parameter (OP) wavefunction. We demonstrate that close to the phase boundary Tc(Bext) the localized OP solution can be displaced reversibly by either applying an external perpendicular magnetic field Bext or by changing the amplitude of the inhomogeneous field.
