Full textThe aim of this thesis is to study the poetic language of the wind in the poem vents by saint-john perse. In order to identify the linguistic elements which play a part in the elaboration of its poetic field, we approach the poem from a linguistic and stylistic point of view : the poem is considered as a symbolic form; it has a material existence; it is an autonomous entity. The first part consists of doing theoretical research to examine some apparatus which are particular to the language of poetry : the poem as a symbolic form; stylistic activity and poetry; the word as a linguistic unity; the meaning resulting from the complex interactions of different linguistic levels. In the second part, we search for semantic traits in the sentence. It appears that the three semantic traits are cosmic, divine and movement. Regarding discourse, the words force, violence and mouvement function as major factors for the development of the wind. In the third part, we examine the syntactic and morphological aspects of sentences which contain references to the wind. The analysis reveal three aspects : a dialectic movement of being and becoming; the character of ceremonial language; the syntax and morphology revealing the pathos leading to the exclusion of reason. In the last part, we notice that the phonemes (v), (a) contribute to the configuration of the poem at the global level and at the local level. They have architectonic functions and provide the poem with a special structural unity. The phonemes (s), (f), (r) may be looked upon as the expression of the whistling wind

Full text"The past is a foreign country: they do things differently over there"L.P. Hartly We wanted to look at the history of the first windmills. There are several reasons for this: much of the history of the windmill remains obscure and among others; two things are poorly known: the first relates to the date when the vertical axis windmill appeared for the first time in Iran (ancient Persia), and the second its evolution, the different types of this invention. The last reason for the need for our research is that there is as yet no clear hypothesis for linking the different types of vertical wind mills with a dated and documented chronology of the evolution of types in particular the Iranian vertical axis windmill. Energy sources like the wind - and the windmill are seen as a mediating technology between wind and human society. R. J. Forbes, the German historian of technology, argued that "primary engines" were the "keystone of technology". Using as a criterion these "primary engines," he distinguishes five periods in the history of human technology: the age of human muscle utilization, the era of animal muscle utilization, the era of energy provided by water, the era of energy created by the vapor and the era of atomic energy. In his classification, Forbes did not include the era of wind energy; we shall see that this era is the missing link between the era of hydraulic energy and the era of energy supplied by steam. With the use of wind energy, this era is also the longest in the history of energy use

Full textSome features of the solar wind still remain not understood, as the transport of the energy in collision less plasmas. Quasi-thermal noise spectroscopy is a reliable tool for measuring accurately the electron density, temperature and non thermal properties which can give important dues to understand the transport properties. This noise is produced by the quasi-thermal fluctuations of the particles and allow to measure the moments of their velocity distributions. This method, using a sum of Maxwellian as the electron velocity distribution, has produced a large amount of results with the Ulysses mission. Nevertheless, some limitations on the radio receiver prevent an accurate measurement of the total temperature of the electrons with this model. A new method using kappa distribution is proposed and its application on the Ulysses data shows a variation of the temperature between an adiabatic and isothermal behaviour, and a constant kappa parameter. Then, two examples of plasma-dust interactions are studied: the acceleration of nano dust by the solar wind and their detection in the solar wind at one astronomic unit; and the interplanetary magnetic field enhancements possibly due to an interaction between the solar wind and cometary dust. Finally, a more global point of view is taken. The energy flux of the solar wind is almost constant, nearly independent on wind speed and solar activity. A comparison of the energy flux of a spread of stellar winds is made. A shared process at the origin and acceleration of the main-sequence stars and cool giants' winds is suggested. T-Tauri stars' winds show a possible result of an accretion powered wind

Full textTwo specific aspects of solar wind turbulence at scales comparable with the ion Larmor radius were considered : anisotropic plasma heating, and the electromagnetic spectral properties of the turbulent cascade in the direction perpendicular to the ambient magnetic field. These problems were studied by means of one-dimensional numerical simulations with two different methods : a FLR-Landau fluid (FLR-LF) model that extends anisotropic magnetohydrodynamics by retaining low-frequency kinetic effects such as Landau damping and finite Larmor radius corrections, and a hybrid Vlasov code in 1d-3V phase space dimensions (HV). Preliminary investigations were performed in the context of compressible Hall-MHD that demonstrated a possible Alfvén wave cascade in the parallel direction at scales smaller than the ion inertial length. Simulations of the FLR-LF model in quasi-perpendicular directions with a random forcing aiming at mimicking the tail of the Alfvén cascade show a non-resonant ion perpendicular heating and the development of the mirror instability which constraints the system to remain near instability threshold. The FLR-LF model has been extended to include the effect of a weak amount of collisions described by a BGK operator. Simulations including collisions show a very good agreement with satellite data. We also performed simulations with the HV code where a forcing on the electric fields code was introduced. These simulations showed the generation of a power-law spectrum with slope -5/3 at scales larger than the ion skin depth, and slope -7/3 in the short wavelengths range, together with the formation of “perpendicular shocks” and magnetic holes

Full textIn this thesis, we study the homodyne detection (or self-mixing) applied to wind speed measurements. At the moment, there is no commercially available optical anemometer with a low price point. The objective of this thesis is to develop such a prototype, which will be using the self-mixing phenomenon. Existing anemometers are studied, with a short comparison of advantages and drawbacks of each solution (cup, ultra-sonic and hot-wire anemometers, Pitot probes, PIV/PTV, sodars and lidars). The equations describing the behavior of a self-mixing laser are demonstrated in this thesis. The resulting expressions are nonlinear delayed differential equations. These equations can be reduced to a static model that is commonly used in the relevant literature. This model predicts a periodic variation of the laser power for a linear displacement of the target responsible for self-mixing. If the reflection coefficient of the target is big enough, this model predicts discontinuities in the laser power. We develop a new model from the complete equations. This new model allows for the study of the dynamical behavior of the laser. It notably predicts damped oscillations where the static model presents discontinuities. The characteristics of these oscillations are related to the distance of the target and its reflectivity. The predictions of this new model were confirmed experimentally, and the corresponding results were published in the Optics Letters journal. The main part of this thesis is focused on the acquisition and processing of the self-mixing signal, which is produced by particles carried by the wind in the laser beam. The frequency of the resulting signal is proportional to the speed of the particle projected onto the optical axis. Therefore, we use a discrete Fourier transform to study the signal in the frequency domain. The length of the Fourier transform is a compromise between the necessity of an optimal signal-to-noise ratio that can trigger the detection, the interaction time between the particle and the beam, and the resources available for computing. After choosing the right compromise, we compute the resulting false detection frequency. We study the bias arising from these false detections, and we create an algorithm that can be used to compensate this bias. Finally, we study the optical configurations that allows for the measurement of wind speed in the horizontal plane (it is this data that is interesting for the potential clients). We demonstrate that at least four optical heads are necessary to obtain a reliable acquisition. The tests conducted in a wind tunnel show that the sensor actually measures the wind speed. An autonomous demonstrator with one measuring channel has been put on a measuring mast. The resulting measurements show that the sensor is temperature sensitive. When the measurements are corrected against the temperature, they are well correlated to a reference measurement made by a cup anemometer and a wind vane. This thesis has led to the development of an autonomous demonstrator that measures the wind speed by self-mixing in a laser diode, in outdoor conditions

Full textPittosporum undulatum Vent., an Australian tree implicated in supression of tree recruiment in many ecosystems, is found invading secondary Araucaria forests in subtropical Brazil. The first chapter of this study aimed to investigate the role of allelopathy in the invasive proccess, accessing germination and growth of Bauhinia forficata Link. in presence of secondary metabolites from cheesewood leaves. Leachates in concentrations of 20%, 15%, 10% and 5% (w/v), extracts from dry material (10%; 7,5%; 5% and 2,5%) and coumarin solutions (2,5 mM; 1,25 mM; 0,625 mM and 0,3125 mM) were prepared. Petri-dishes germination bioassays, with countings done at each 12 hours, allowed to determinate both germinabilty and germination rate; polyethylene glicol (PEG 6000) solutions were used to evaluate osmotic effects. For seedlings growth, the three highest concentrations of each solution were tested and after seven days root and shoot lenght were measured. While germinability was only sensitive to extracts from dry material, the germination rate showed a dose-dependent curve for all solutions. In seedlings, roots were the most sensitive structure and severe morfo-anatomic anomalies were observed. The main purpose of the second chapter was to investigate the use of Pittosporum undulatum Vent. (cheesewood) leaves as a possible sustainable alternative for barnyard grass control. Leachates in concentrations of 20%; 15%; 10%; 5% and 2,5% (w/v), aqueous extracts from powdered leachated and non- eachated leaves (10%; 7,5%; 5%; 2,5% and 1,25%), coumarin solutions (2,5 mM; 1,25 mM; 0,625 mM and 0,3125 mM) and Roundup Original® according to label informations were prepared. Polyethylene glycol were also used. Both germinability and germination rate were determined by germination biossays, with countings done at each 12 hours. In growth experiments, seedlings were exposed for seven days, when root and shoot length were measured. All solutions, with exception of coumarins, caused only small inhibitory effects on germination. In relation to the growth, all treatments but control caused necrose, absence of hairs and dose-dependent lenght reduction in radicles. Hipocotiles were affected by phenolic compound, extracts from non-leachated leaves and gliphosate. Although the allelopathic effects, ecophisiological aspects relative to Pittosporum undulatum still need to be cleared before its leaves can be used as a herbicide.
A árvore australiana Pittosporum undulatum Vent. (Pittosporaceae) é encontrada diminuindo o recrutamento de espécies nativas em formações secundárias de Floresta Ombrófila Mista no sul do Brasil. O objetivo do primeiro capítulo desse estudo foi verificar a ação alelopática da espécie no processo invasivo, investigando a sensibilidade de sementes e plântulas de Bauhinia forficata Link. (pata-de-vaca) à compostos foliares de pau-incenso. Foram preparados extratos aquosos lixiviados nas concentrações de 20%, 15%, 10% e 5% (m/v), extratos aquosos obtidos do pó de folhas lixiviadas (10%; 7,5%; 5% e 2,5% ) e soluções de cumarina a 2,5 mM; 1,25 mM; 0,625 mM e 0,3125 mM. Bioensaios em placas de Petri, com contagens realizadas a cada 12 horas, permitiram determinar a germinabilidade e velocidade de germinação; soluções de polietileno glicol (PEG 6000) foram preparadas para analisar os efeitos osmóticos. Nos bioensaios de crescimento, utilizaram-se as três concentrações mais elevadas de cada solução, sendo, após sete dias, medidos o comprimento radicular e de parte aérea. Enquanto a germinabilidade mostrou-se sensível apenas aos extratos de pó de folhas, a velocidade de germinação apresentou resposta dose-dependente para todas as soluções testadas. Quanto ao crescimento, a radícula foi a estrutura mais sensível aos efeitos alelopáticos, sendo observadas alterações morfo-anatômicas. No segundo capitulo, objetivou-se investigar o uso de material foliar de pau-incenso como alternativa ao manejo do capim-arroz, uma gramínea resistente a herbicidas que traz problemas a plantações de arroz e à biodiversidade de planícies úmidas em todo o mundo. Foram preparados extratos aquosos foliares lixiviados nas concentrações de 20%; 15%; 10%; 5% e 2,5% (m/v), extratos aquosos obtidos do pó de folhas lixiviadas e não-lixiviadas (10%; 7,5%; 5%; 2,5% e 1,25%), soluções de cumarina a 5mM; 2,5 mM; 1,25 mM; 0,625 mM e 0,3125 mM e solução de Roundup® Original seguindo as recomendações do fabricante. Soluções de PEG também foram utilizadas. Para bioensaios de germinação, as contagens foram realizadas a cada 12 horas, sendo determinadas as porcentagens e velocidades germinativas; para o crescimento, plântulas de sete dias submetidas aos compostos tiveram medidos seus comprimentos de radícula e parte aérea. A germinação, apesar de fortemente inibida pela cumarina, foi pouco sensível às demais soluções. Quanto ao crescimento, as radículas analisadas apresentaram necrose, ausência de pêlos e redução dose-dependente do comprimento para todos os tratamentos com exceção do controle. Os hipocótilos foram afetados pelo composto fenólico, glifosato e extratos aquosos de folhas não-lixiviadas. Apesar da ação alelopática, aspectos ecofisiológicos relativos ao pau-incenso ainda devem ser esclarecidos para que suas folhas possam ser usadas como herbicida.

Full textAntoine Reicha (1770-1836), composer, teacher and theorist, a naturalized French citizen, originated from Bohemia. After studying music with his uncle Joseph Reicha in the princely courts of Oettingen-Wallerstein in Swabia and Cologne in Bonn, where he was a friend and colleague of Beethoven, he moved first to Hamburg and then to Paris and Vienna to seek his fortune : he first turned to opera, but unsuccessfully. In 1808, he was in Paris where he settled permanently. He finally secured his reputation in Europe with his twenty-four woodwind quintets. Inherited from a tradition of emigration of musicians originating from bohemia, the eclectic character of Reicha's works was very European : through his teaching, treatises and compositions, he adapted German musical tradition to the expression of French instrumental music; this blending of German and French musical currents is embodied in his quintets in which he drew on German Harmoniemusik as well as on Viennese and Parisian chamber music. Moreover, Reicha took advantage of the rapid development of wind instruments and the growing virtuosity of wind instrument players at the beginning of the 19th century to promote his quintets which thereafter became the main genre of chamber music for woodwind

Full textStorms are by far the major hazard damaging the trees. However, trees do not just behave passively in the wind. They sense their own strains under the influence of an external force such as wind andrespond by modifying their growth and the mechanical properties of their tissues. But this process, called thigmomorphogenesis, has mainly been studied in very young trees in controlled conditions. This thesis aims to expand for the first time such studies at the scale of a forest stand in order to understand how adult trees acclimate to the wind in natural conditions by adapting their growth. It relies on an experimental set up in a regular stand of beech (Fagus sylvatica) which have never be thinned. The wind speed, the longitudinal strains and the radial growth of fifteen pairs of trees with contrasted sizes and wind exposures (split into two social status, dominant and suppressed trees) were monitored for one year. By controlling the strain intensity experienced by the trees, either by guying or by additional bendings, we show that the trees respond only to mechanical stimulation caused by rather strong winds with a return period higher than a week. This response leads however to a very strong increase in radial growth. And it follows a law of mecano-sensing uniform among the trees, regardless of their sizes. We then studied the effects of the strain regulation on the mechanical design of the trees and the potential risk of stem breakage. Despite the contrasted sizes and wind exposures, the strain regime remained uniform within the beech stand, in agreement with the hypothesis of an optimal mechanical design often inferred but never validated in its mechanism. Finally, the constitutive equations of a possible growth model dependent on wind are proposed and discussed

Full textThis thesis is focused in the design of original and robust control strategies to stabilize an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) in presence of wind disturbances. The proposed control strategies have been tested in simulations and in real-time experiments in two different platforms. It introduces the mathematical model of a UAV in presence of wind. We obtained the dynamical model which takes into account the complementary forces induced by the wind for a Planar Vertical Take-Off and Landing (PVTOL) aircraft and for the quadrotor rotorcraft. On the other hand, three different nonlinear control laws based on the Lyapunov analysis have been developed to stabilize the UAV in presence of wind. The first approach uses the Robust Control Lyapunov Functions (RCLFs). Given the complexity of the problem, we begun with a mini car which moves on its longitudinal axis. This result has been extended to the case of the PVTOL aircraft and to the quadrotor rotorcraft. Several simulations have been carried out to validate the proposed algorithms. To test its viability in a real application, we have realized experiments using a PVTOL prototype. The simulations and experimental results in real time showed the good performance of the control law in closed loop. The second approach is based on the saturation functions. We have proposed a robust analysis with respect to unknown external disturbances and nonlinear uncertainties in the model. The proof takes the hypothesis that the wind is bounded. The algorithms have been tested in a quadrotor prototype and the results showed a good performance even in presence of wind disturbances. The last approach considers the intrinsic properties of the quadrotor flying vehicle, specially the passivity. Thus, a sub-optimal control law has been developed. The analysis is based on the full energy of the system, the passivity, the Lyapunov theory and the use of dynamic programming. The simulation results have showed that this control law can be useful when the flying vehicle has to do more complex maneuvers than hover. Finally, a control scheme using a state observer has been developed. This scheme uses the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to estimate the position in the (x,y) plain and the vertical velocity z of a quadrotor rotorcraft. Using the measurements of an inertial measurement unit, an altitude sensor, a vision system and the control inputs the system state is estimated. The vision system is used to compute the translational velocities of the vehicle and it is composed by a camera and an optical flow algorithm. The estimator has been validated by experiments in real time and the results have been very conclusive

Full textThe main focus of innovation in musical instrument making in the early 21st century has been sound synthesis using computers or stand-alone electronic synthesisers. However, while these tools enable the creation of a near-infinite range of new sounds, the interaction between the musician and their instrument is much weaker than with a conventional acoustical instrument. This results in a loss of musical expression and reduces the use of musical gesture. With the aim of innovating while keeping the influence of musical gesture, this thesis proposes to apply active control to musical wind instruments. In particular, active control is applied to a trombone equipped with a specially designed mute and to a bass clarinet. The aim of this work is to modify each instrument's resonance characteristics in order to change its radiated sound (pitch, timbre) and playability. The effects of two control methods on the input impedance, transfer function and radiated sound of the instruments are studied. First, a feedback control involving gains and phase shifting is applied to the trombone mute. It allows significant modification of both the frequency and the damping factor of the mute's resonance. The effects of the mute on the trombone's input impedance and playability are studied. This control is simple, but it is not efficient with more complex systems. Second, a modal control is implemented. Using a model of the system, modal active control allows the modal parameters (frequency, damping) of the system's resonances to be modified in a targeted manner. It is first applied to a modelled clarinet, then experimentally validated with a "simplified bass clarinet". Significant independent modifications of the resonances are obtained, as well as noticeable alterations of the sound and input impedance of the instrument

Full textThis thesis focuses on the numerical and theoretical study of the dynamical coupling between the photosphere, the corona and the solar wind in the frame of the time-dependant magneto-hydrodynamics. I attempt to characterise the effects of the photospheric movements over the corona and wind taking into account the propagation conditions through the atmospheric layers, which comprise strong magnetic and thermal gradients. I start by showing that shear between the photospheric footpoints of magnetic coronal loop which spans over several scale-heights vanishes in a timescale of the order of the alfvénic transit time. This result, which contradicts a standard hypothesis, motivated the adoption of transparent boundary conditions (as opposed to rigid) in what followed. I then study the response of multipolar structures with null points to alfvénic perturbations in an axisymmetrical isothermal corona and wind. Reconnection and current accumulation occur near the null points. Ohmic dissipation, stimulated by persistent flows which develop in the system, occurs in the limit of vanishing resistivity. One of the studied cases, in which an over-dense jet forms above a magnetic bipole, is proposed as a model for polar plumes. The cold chromospheric layers were finally introduced in an 1D wind model with an energy equation. This model allowed the study of the formation and decay of polar plumes by varying the heating rate over the low corona, offering an alternative viewpoint to the previous model

Full textFor over 3.5Ga microbial activities have profoundly altered planetary geochemistry. In particular, sulfur-cycling hydrothermal vent communities have been important players in shaping biogeochemistry and the habitability of Earth. However, the remote nature of deep-sea vents makes investigations challenging. Using the White Point (WP) shallow-sea hydrothermal vent field as a proxy, I employed molecular sequencing, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and 35S-radiotracer assays to investigate the diversity and function of chemoautotrophic microbial mats. This study revealed a highly active and diverse sulfur-cycling microbial community. Potential epibiotic associations between sulfur-oxidizing (SOxB) and sulfate/sulfur-reducing bacteria (SRB) were identified using FISH. Comparative analyses of 16S rRNA sequences revealed the WP sulfur vent microbial mat community to be similar to deep-sea microbial communities from hydrothermal vents in a range of biotopes and lithologic settings and supported the relevancy of the WP hydrothermal sulfur-vent microbial mats as an excellent model for studying "thiobiotic" vent communities.

Full textThe rogue wave phenomenon, which is of majeur interest for marine safety, cannot be correlated toany specific geophysical phenomenon. Such waves can appear on every ocean of the world, in deep or shallow water, and encounter strong winds in tempest zones. This work aims to study the influence of wind on rogue waves. An experimental approach showed that rogue waves generated by means of energy focusing due to the dispersive nature of water waves, were slightly amplified, that there was a drift of the focusing point, and that their life time was significantly increased. A strong asymmetry is indeed observed between the focusing and defocusing stages. Numerical simulations are performed to analyse, understand, and reproduce the phenomenon. Experiments performed in the air-sea interaction facility are reproduced in a numerical wave tank using boundary integrals method. Miles’ mechanism and the modified Jeffreys sheltering mechanism are both considered to model wind action. Jeffreys’ sheltering mechanism is modified by introducing a threshold in local slope above which air flow separation occurs over steep crests. Rogue waves can also be generated using another physical mechanism : modulationnal instability of wave fields, or Benjamin-Feir instability. An extension of the study to rogue waves due to modulationnal instability is developed. Numerical simulations of this phenomenon are performed with a pseudo-spectral method. These simulations show that the modified Jeffreys’ sheltering mechanism is responsible for a significant increase of the lifetime of those extreme waves, such as for rogue waves due to dispersive focusing. However, the underlying physics are different in both cases. However, these approaches are both based on a linear wind wave coupling, neglecting the influence of waves on the air flow, and based on a potential description of the flow. The existence of a recirculation area (air vortex) observed experimentally above the highest crests can only be simulated correctly when vorticity is taken into account. A numerical method to simulate the rotationnal flow of the two phases viscous fluids, separated by an interface, is introduced
