Full textEl Project Finance es un mecanismo de financiamiento alternativo al Corporate Finance que permite el financiamiento de grandes proyectos de infraestructura, sin necesidad de que las corporaciones pongan en riesgo su patrimonio y activos propios. A través del Project Finance se pueden ejecutar obras públicas de envergadura, en el marco de Contratos de Asociación Público Privada (APP), en donde la principal garantía de los Acreedores consistirá en el derecho que tiene la empresa que suscribe dicho contrato para explotar la infraestructura pública, bien sea a través del cobro de una tarifa a los Usuarios (en el caso de las APP Autosostenibles) o a través del cobro de un monto pre acordado con el Estado (en el caso de las APP Cofinanciadas). Para la estructuración exitosa de un Project Finance en una APP se requiere el trabajo conjunto de una serie de actores y de instrumentos jurídicos que completen el círculo necesario para el financiamiento en condiciones de riesgo aceptables. Los actores necesarios son la Sociedad de Propósito Exclusivo (SPE), el Estado, los Acreedores Permitidos, el Constructor y un Fiduciario. Entre los instrumentos jurídicos necesarios destacan el Contrato de APP, el Contrato de Financiamiento, el Contrato de Construcción y el Contrato de Fideicomiso.

Full textUrban water supply is facing an acute crisis in Delhi like in many others megacities of the developing world. The thesis deals with the kind of reform that could be implemented there. This work is based on fieldwork and interviews. It follows a neo-institutional approach, which is particularly relevant for analysing the intertwined dimensions of the urban water sector. Indeed, this local public service has special attributes that distinguish it from other network utilities, and that should pilot a reform. A review of international experiences with water "re-regulation" shows that economic regulation is not the only aspect of a reform, as the quality of the institutional environment is a determinant factor of sustainability. In the case of Delhi, one should not focus only on the governance structure reform, but also on the formal and informal rules that govern actors behaviour (households with / without water connections, planners, politicians, NGO, public undertaking, etc. ). Reform as several dimensions, and tariff augmentation or partial delegation contract are not viable answers to the present failures. The scope for change is limited to few institutional arrangements, that enlarge the full public service and not only a segment of activity, either in the public or private property right alternative

Full textAgricultural and water development in the Krishna basin, South India, has led to a progressive over commitment of water resources. Signs of `basin closure' (zero or minimal flow to the ocean) are apparent during dry periods. In 1990-2000, total committed volumes accounted for 90% of the renewable bine water of the basin (and up to 98% if the water needs of the environment are accounted for): there is only little scope for further water resources development and basin-avide water savings. The thesis unpacks the multi-level forces that drove the overbuilding and closure of the Krishna basin and highlights that over-exploitation cornes along changing patterns of access to water. When river basins close, water users are increasingly interconnected and any interventions (supply augmentation, demand management, allocation policies) result in a regional or sectoral redistribution of water, along existing economic, political, and social forces. The trajectory of the Krishna basin is one of progressive alteration of the river regime, downstream environmental degradation, declining security of supply to all existing users, and thus increasingly likely conflicts. The new Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal is an opportunity for effective and adaptive allocation mechanisms but it needs to be made more responsive to the demands of local communities and to internalize local practices for both social and environmentai benefits. The drivers of river basin closure are manifold and unfold at many nested levels: allocating basin water is not enough and interventions must go beyond water and beyond the basin. This requires a shift in the governance structure of natural resources

Full textA case study of the city of Delhi, in India, is used to assess the relevance of a widespread assumption on the institutional and technical shape of the water and sanitation systems that will allow generalizing access to those services in developing cities. This assumption consists in believing that on the long term, water and sanitation services will be based on a centralised water and sewerage system at the city level, and operated by a single agency. Taking into account the inherent duality of developing cities, with a formal and globalized city on one hand, and an informal city composed of slums and unauthorised on the other hand, the question is raised about the future of a collective service on which the richer can afford not to depend thanks to decentralized technologies, while access is denied to the poorest on legal grounds

Full textDuring the potabilization process, several treatments are applied to the water making its chemical composition evolve, and it is not uncommon to observe premature deteriorations on concrete-made water tanks. Leaching mainly consists in the dissolution of one part of the cementitious materials hydrates, when it is in contact with an aggressive water. Calcium carbonate formation on the edge, which is the main difference between physicochemical of leaching by unmineralized water and mineralized water, leads to ambiguous consequences. Leaching tests using a mineralized solution have been conducted. To tackle experimental results analysis difficulties, analysis tools, a numerical one in one hand and an analytical model-based one in the other hand, were developed. Several clues are suggesting that calcium carbonate formation on the edge of the samples can first act as a calcium ions pump, before it slows exhanges between the environment and the pore solution. It was also shown that, all other factors been equal, calcium concentration has an influence on mortar leaching. Still this parameter is not in the durability concrete standards, like the NF EN 206/CN standard. Then, the aggressiveness index, called Langelier, appears to be complementary

Full textThis study deals with the development of a hybrid process combining membrane filtration and adsorption or ion exchange for the treatment of secondary effluent for their reuse. The application of this process to the treatment of wastewaters needs to look for the lowest cost by taking into account the specificity of the organic matter of the effluents and by developing a durable process by lowering its energetic consummation and using regenerable adsorbents. This led us to privilege the combination in the same reactor, an immersed membrane and a regenerable adsorbent. We were interested mainly in the treatment of the organic compounds of the secondary effluents, either by studying the hydrophobic fraction “humic substances” (mainly fulvic acid in our study), or a synthetic secondary effluent. For these purposes, our study followed these steps:1. Research of an alternate material to the Powdered Activated Carbon PAC; a comparative study of the kinetics and isotherms of adsorption was then investigated. 2. Study of the response of the hybrid process at two scales by using PAC and the Ion Exchange Resin. 3. Improvement of a protocol of the determination of the fouling potential of the treated water that could be treated by either nanofiltration or reverse osmosis

Full textA sociedade ocidental actual tem uma dieta com uma razão n-6/n-3 elevada, 15-20:1. Vários estudos confirmam a necessidade de alterar essa razão para 1-2:1, devido às patologias associadas a este tipo de dieta. A alteração dessa razão n-6/n-3 pode ser conseguida através da introdução, nas dietas da sociedade ocidental, de alimentos funcionais ricos em DHA e EPA. Estes AG têm evidenciado ter uma acção importante na prevenção de doenças cardiovasculares e de doenças neuro-degenerativas. O licopeno, antioxidante maioritário do tomate, tem revelado em muitos estudos um poder antioxidante tal que pode conferir capacidades cardioprotectoras, anti-inflamatórias, antimutagénicas e anticarcinogénicas. Este estudo demonstrou que a incorporação de AG no cérebro de ratos wistar é influenciada pela interação da sardinha, peixe gordo, com elevadas concentrações de DHA (22:6n-3) e EPA (20:5n-3), com o tomate, vegetal com altas concentrações de licopeno. Verificou-se também que dietas com concentrações crescentes de DHA aumentam a concentração, deste AG, no tecido muscular e eritrócitos, ao contrário do tecido cerebral, em que o aumento parece ser diminuto e com um “plateau” nos 13% de DHA (w/w). Utilizando o índice n-3, proposto por William S. Harris e Clemen von Schacky, duas latas de sardinha por dia conferem um nível desejável de protecção contra doenças cardiovasculares em humanos.
ABSTRACT - Title: Fatty Acids Profile of the muscle and brain of Wistar rats feed with diets containing graded levels of canned sardines - The current occidental population has a diet with a high n-6/n-3 ratio, 15-20:1. Several studies confirm the need of changing such ratio to 1-2:1, due to the pathologies connected with such kind of diets. The change of the ratio n-6/n-3 may be reached through the insertion of functional food with DHA and EPA. These fatty acids (FA) have proved an important role in preventing cardiovascular (CVD) and neurodegenerative diseases. Lycopene, tomato majority antioxidant, has evidenced in several studies to have an antioxidant which may provide protection to the cardiovascular system, as well as antiinflammatory, anti-mutagenic and anti-carcinogenic properties. This study revealed that fatty acids incorporation on Wistar rats brains is influenced by the interaction of sardine, fat fish rich in DHA (22:6n-3) and EPA (20:5n-3), and with tomato, with high lycopene concentration. Diets with graded concentration of DHA leads to the increase of such FA on muscle and red blood cells, contrarily to brain tissue, where such increase seems to be low and with a plateau on 13% of DHA (w/w). Using the n-3 index proposed by William S. Harris and Clemen von Schacky, two canned sardines on a daily basis provides a desirable level of CVD protection in human.

Full textIn the context of ongoing increase of drought in temperate forests, forest managers consider the reduction of stand density to limit soil water depletion. The reduction of tree canopy density increases light below canopy and allows the development of monopolistic understorey vegetation. Our objectives were to characterize the evapotranspiration (ETu) of common understorey plants (Molinia caerulea, Calluna vulgaris, Pteridium aquilinum and Rubus sp.) and to quantify their impacts on soil water content (SWC) in mature oak stands (Quercus petraea).A first experiment was set up in a greenhouse where the 4 understorey species were potted and subjected to 2 levels of light transmittance and 3 levels of SWC. Microclimate and ETu were monitored. A second experiment was carried out on 20 plots (10 with M. caerulea and 10 with P. aquilinum) in oak stands with contrasted LAI. On each plot, two circular areas were set up, one weeded and the other untouched. SWC, microclimate and ETu were monitored.M. caerulea and C. vulgaris are more water spenders, whereas P. aquilinum and Rubus sp. are more water savers under water stress. Soil water depletion was faster with increasing understorey vegetation LAI, which was directly linked to tree canopy opening with a threshold of tree LAI of 2-3 below which the understorey contribution could offset the reduction of tree ET. The experimentations showed that the relative contribution of understory vegetation in the ecosystem water balance is significant, and depends on SWC and on the understorey species identity. These results show the necessity to consider understorey vegetation in forest management when water availability is an issue. Lower tree canopy density could increase the understorey ETu and soil water stress for trees. From a management perspective, thinning should be designed as a compromise between the reduction of tree leaf area to reduce ET, and maintaining sufficient tree canopy to restrict the growth and ETu of understorey vegetation

Full textThe characterization of the optical properties of fuel drops around the critical pressure is a challenge. The aim of the thesis is to measure the size and the refractive index of fluids under high pressure conditions close to the critical point. For this purpose, an experimental installation of injection of high-pressure drops has been designed. Rainbow refractometry has been developed and adapted to work first on water and ethanol droplets in the pressure range 1 - 40 bar. Evolutions of their index of refraction with the pressure were obtained. For measurements approaching a fluid near the critical point, ethane was selected because its critical point is 48.7 bar and 32.2 ° C. Index refractive measurements on liquid drops of ethane were then carried out in the range 40 - 46 bar and 18 - 25 ° C. A measurement of the refractive index of ethane drops then gives a value of 1.255 ± 0.002

Full textAt a global scale tropical forest play a major role in term of carbon stock as well as in term of CO2 fluxes. Several studies have highlighted changes in tropical forest functioning during the last 20 years including a faster turnover and an increase of above ground biomass. The drivers of these changes are discussed and throughout this thesis we propose to contribute to this debate. We use the data from the Paracou experimental site in French Guiana established in 1984 on 120 hectares of moist tropical forest. Meteorological data come from the flux tower of the site, Guyaflux. We use annual and bisannual diameter measurements from the Guyafor database, and intra-annual diameter increments from the measurements of 260 trees near the flux tower.This thesis has two main parts. In the first part we present the biomass analysis of the Paracou permanent plots and the impact of structural changes in this forest on the carbon budget. The first part is constituted by two points. (i) Which temporal and spatial scale used to analyze the structure (biomass, basal area and stem density) and dynamics (tree growth, recruitment and mortality)components of tropical forest in order to minimized sample bias ? We establish a simple method to rely measurement interval between census and surface of measurement to the coefficient of variation of forests structure and dynamic components (ii) Which demographic process are involved in the explanation of biomass variation and how the biomass is distributed in the system ? The observed increase of biomass at Paracou could be link to the rarity of big trees mortality events. These big trees represent the larger part of the biomass. In the second part, we present the analysis of intra and inter-annual climate variation effects on forest dynamic changes. This part is divided in two points. (i) How to model drought stress in moist tropical forest ? We built a daily water balance model for tropical trees. (ii) Which climate variables explain the tree growth in guianian forests? We shown that soil water availability is the determinant factor of tree growth among a panel of climate variables. (iii) Which functional traits are involved in the tropical tree growth responses to climate? In this analysis, we determined that wood specific gravity, maximum tree height and tree diameter modulate the tree growth response to climate variations

Full textThe extension of electricity, water and sanitation networks in developing cities seems to be a priori complicated by the lack or the deficiencies of urban planning. The modalities of infrastructure deployment into the irregular settlements of Delhi and Lima are here analysed as sociotechnical mechanisms, indicative of the dynamics of the urban fabric. Indeed, on a daily basis, utility firms do install pipes and poles in unplanned settlements. Some technical, social and institutional innovations make the extension of networks possible; the lack of urban planning is therefore not an obstacle to service extension. Nonetheless, this process is not optimal: the conduct of public works is disordered, unpredictability hampers the elaboration of strategies and political injunctions can be contradictory. Such coordination deficits generate uncertainties which are more difficult to overcome for utility firms. There are nevertheless some promising leads for intervention in unplanned settlements: alternative devices for servicing exist that can be promoted; some informal plans and data satisfy the needs for knowledge on the city and would be well worth valuing; and the design and the preservation of the road layout appear to be decisive to allow a coherent, progressive and sustainable urban consolidation process. The analysis of network extension helps to identify key instruments for public action in developing cities, and thus offers new perspectives for urban planning to develop the existing city as well as to strategically prepare for the urbanisation yet to come

Full textIn order to reduce the marine oil pollution, ships have to control their hydrocarbon dumping at sea. For example, only bilge water that has a hydrocarbon oil index less than 15 ppmv can be discharged at sea (Marpol 73/78). Otherwise, effluents have to be stored on board or treated. In this study, heterogeneous photocatalysis was proposed as an alternative method to the current treatments that are still not efficient enough. Oil removal was monitored by GC-MS analysis. Then, by demonstrating the feasibility and limitations of the batch process, we developed a diffused aeration photocatalytic reactor (DAPR). In this case, better results were obtained than in the batch reactor because the problem of the lack of dissolved oxygen in the real effluent was solved by supplying air continuously. However, volatile organic compounds were then found by monitoring (ATD-GC-MS) the evolution of the gaseous phase composition. Finally, we showed that linear alkanes were the most resistant compounds to the photocatalytic treatment and thereby, pentadecane was chosen as a model pollutant of bilge water for a kinetic study

Full textOptimizing water management in agriculture is essential over semi-arid areas in order to preserve water resources which are already low and erratic due to human actions and climate change. This thesis aims to use the synergy of multispectral remote sensing observations (radar, optical and thermal data) for high spatio-temporal resolution monitoring of crops water needs. In this context, different approaches using various sensors (Landsat-7/8, Sentinel-1 and MODIS) have been developed to provide information on the crop Soil Moisture (SM) and water stress at a spatio-temporal scale relevant to irrigation management. This work fits well the REC "Root zone soil moisture Estimates at the daily and agricultural parcel scales for Crop irrigation management and water use impact: a multi-sensor remote sensing approach" (http://rec.isardsat.com/) project objectives, which aim to estimate the Root Zone Soil Moisture (RZSM) for optimizing the management of irrigation water. Innovative and promising approaches are set up to estimate evapotranspiration (ET), RZSM, land surface temperature (LST) and vegetation water stress through SM indices derived from multispectral observations with high spatio-temporal resolution. The proposed methodologies rely on image-based methods, radiative transfer modelling and water and energy balance modelling and are applied in a semi-arid climate region (central Morocco). In the frame of my PhD thesis, three axes have been investigated. In the first axis, a Landsat LST-derived RZSM index is used to estimate the ET over wheat parcels and bare soil. The ET modelling estimation is explored using a modified Penman-Monteith equation obtained by introducing a simple empirical relationship between surface resistance (rc) and a RZSM index. The later is estimated from Landsat-derived land surface temperature (LST) combined with the LST endmembers (in wet and dry conditions) simulated by a surface energy balance model driven by meteorological forcing and Landsat-derived fractional vegetation cover. The investigated method is calibrated and validated over two wheat parcels located in the same area near Marrakech City in Morocco. In the next axis, a method to retrieve near surface (0-5 cm) SM at high spatial and temporal resolution is developed from a synergy between radar (Sentinel-1) and thermal (Landsat) data and by using a soil energy balance model. The developed approach is validated over bare soil agricultural fields and gives an accurate estimates of near surface SM with a root mean square difference compared to in situ SM equal to 0.03 m3 m-3. In the final axis a new method is developed to disaggregate the 1 km resolution MODIS LST at 100 m resolution by integrating the near surface SM derived from Sentinel-1 radar data and the optical-vegetation index derived from Landsat observations. The new algorithm including the S-1 backscatter as input to the disaggregation, produces more stable and robust results during the selected year. Where, 3.35 °C and 0.75 were the lowest RMSE and the highest correlation coefficient assessed using the new algorithm

This paper examines the impact, causation, and contagion effect of subprime crisis on the returns on the U.S., EMU, UK, Australian and Japanese bond indices. We employ VECM to test the level of impact, VAR to test the causation, and GJR-GARCH within a VAR framework to test the contagion effect of subprime crisis. Our empirical results show that the occurrence of subprime crisis markedly increased the returns on U.S. EMU, UK and Australian bond indices. In addition, the lead-lag relationship in sovereign bond index between countries that sustained heavier financial losses in the subprime crisis, such as the U.S., EMU and UK and countries that sustained less losses, such as Australia and Japan remained the same and the phenomenon of risk contagion existed. After the subprime crisis, the relationship between the U.S. bond index and the EMU and UK bond indices turned from lead-lag to synchronous and the phenomenon of risk contagion existed. This result indicates that the commandingly leading position of the U.S. bond market in the worldwide bond markets has wiggled. The simultaneous responses of the U.S., EMU and UK bond markets to the tremendous impact brought about by the subprime crisis have created significant domino effect on the financial markets in the rest of the world. A “everybody’s in the same boat” model seems to have taken shape for the central banks of the U.S., EMU and UK at the time of a major financial crisis that if they adopt consistent monetary policies, it will help them cope better with material market changes and build up a defense network against the contagion of systemic risk induced by a financial storm.

Full textThis research focuses on the origins and the consequences of environmental degradation in the Thar Desert in the State of Rajasthan, India. It outlines the political and economic processes that have influenced how natural resources are managed in the region of Marwar since Indian independence. First are presented the modes of agrarian and natural resources management that were current during the jagirdari, the pre-independence land tenure system that prevailed in this region. This is followed by an analysis of how different ideologies of postcolonial development have reshaped the social, administrative and environmental landscape of this region. These changes have led to ecological disruptions which have given rise to an environmental and agrarian crisis that has now reached a critical point with the rainfall deficits of the past decade in this region. Based on field research conducted in the community of Givas, the implications – physical and metaphysical – of these environmental problems are analyzed. The study also looks at the responses generated in order to cope with these changes, namely the livelihood strategies adopted by the local people, as well as the interventions from a non-government organization and the Indian state – through the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA). The analysis reveals that the experience of environmental degradation, through its effects and responses, is conditioned by political, economic and sociocultural factors, and thus differentiated by gender, class and caste.

Full textThe boreal forest, storing large amounts of carbon in its soil and covering a majority of the Alaskan, Canadian, Fennoscandian and Russian territory, is an integral part of the climate system. However, climatic variability and ecosystem properties, particularly with regards to the presence or absence of permafrost, limits our understanding of the carbon balance variability in the boreal biome, which comprises forest, lake and wetland ecosystems. The boreal carbon sink-source strength is greatly influenced by phenological events, including the start and end of the photosynthetic growing season, which are themselves dependent on several environmental variables such as air and soil temperature, soil water content, vegetation development stages, etc. This research aims to provide new insights on the influence of environmental variability on the variability in the timing of the photosynthetic growing season, by broadly distinguishing between boreal forests with and without permafrost. The photosynthetic growing season is characterized using gross primary productivity derived from eddy covariance measurements of net ecosystem carbon dioxide exchange. Data from 40 black spruce- dominated site-years of observation across the North American boreal forest are used. The considered environmental predictors were air and soil temperatures, vegetation development stages, snow cover, photosynthetically active radiation and soil water content. The statistical framework included the calculation of Pearson correlation coefficients, commonality analyses and structural equation modeling. This study shows that the variability in the start of the growing season in permafrost-free sites is directly controlled by the variability in vegetation development stage as well as by the thawing of seasonally frozen ground. This result thus emphasizes the importance of access to liquid soil water for the vegetation to initiate photosynthesis. No environmental variable could significantly explain photosynthesis recovery in sites with permafrost. In fall, the soil water content as well as the start of snow cover directly influence the variability in the end of the photosynthetic growing season. These results suggest that the availability of water can limit photosynthesis in the fall. The effect of snow cover is opposite in sites with and without permafrost. A delay in the appearance of continuous snow cover in sites without permafrost indicates that the air temperature is high enough for precipitation to fall in liquid form and for photosynthesis to continue. In contrast, its delay in sites with permafrost indicates less snowfall, thus delaying the appearance of an insulating layer for the soil, which could have lengthened the photosynthetic growing season. This study sheds light on the controls of the annual variation of the timing of the photosynthetic growing season and will help understanding of the effects of climate change on the strength of the North American boreal forest carbon sink.
