L'étude avait pour but d'évaluer le niveau d'immunité vis à vis de la toxoplasmose des femmes venant d'accoucher à Amiens entre mars 1993 et avril 1994 ainsi que leur connnaissance des mesures préventives vis à vis de cette parasitose. Cette étude a permis de mettre en évidence la bonne connaissance des mesures préventives vis à vis de la toxoplasmose chez les femmes non immunes. Ceci a permis également de préciser les données épidémiologiques de la toxoplasmose à Amiens. Le choix d'un protocole incluant les femmes au moment de l'accouchement pourrait être complété par celui de femmes en début de grosesse pour éviter d'exclure les interruptions de grossesse. Cette étude devrait déboucher sur une enquête nationale qui permettrait de préciser l'épidémiolgoie de la toxoplasmose en France. [less ▲]

We investigate extensions of temporal logic by connectives defined by finite automata on infinite words. We consider three different logics, corresponding to three different types of acceptance conditions (finite, looping, and repeating) for the automata. It turns out, however that these logics all have the same expressive power and that their decision problems are all PSPACE-complete. We also investigate connectives defined by alternating automata and show that they do not increase the expressive power of the logic or the complexity of the decision problem.

Mouldboard shape identification is needed to compare and analyse the performance of different plough bottoms. The paper presents a method for describing an existing mouldboard mathematically. The technique used is based on a Bezier form of three dimensional parametric cubics and it focuses on an algorithm to improve the efficiency of approximation of a theoretical surface and the actual one. The method is well suited to describing mouldboard designs. [less ▲]

Analysis methodology, experimental investigation and computer optimization of a passive solar commercial building in the Belgian climate

in Solar Energy (1994), 52(1), 9-25

The Fondation Universitaire Luxembourgeoise (FUL) building (completed in 1986) has been selected as a Belgian candidate for participation in the IEA (International Energy Agency) Task XI project devoted to passive solar commercial buildings. Therefore, an evaluation methodology has been set up and a monitoring plan has been defined and performed. Together with this experimental investigation, intensive computer simulation work has defined an optimized design of the building. The main results show that the recorded performance can be improved to an extent of 15% energy savings, which yields a correct performance for a passive solar building in the temperate maritime Belgian climate.

Modèles de croissance et gestion des forêts : une étroite complémentarité

The aim of this paper is to propose some examples of use for growth and yield models in forest management at different levels of resolution (stand, forest, region) especially by projecting the stand under planned management or silvicultural practices to evaluate their impact. The first example deals with a flexible yield and management model (a whole stand model) for evenaged stands, it uses the principle of numerical thinnings. The second example is based upon an individual tree distance independent model useful to manage and control natural unevenaged stands. The third is above all an application of a forest growth projection system linked to a regional forest inventory. [less ▲]
