Investigation on Displacement Sensitivity of Cylindrical Dielectric Resonators for Sensor Applications

In order to design displacement resonant transducers in UHF-band, characteristics of shielded cylindrical dielectric resonators are investigated for the first higher order modes by means of the transverse resonance method of cascaded waveguides. The effect of the geometrical and electrical parameters of the structure on the displacement sensitivity and conductor $Q$-factor is examined for the $TE_{01\delta}$ mode and for higher order modes

A Symbolic-Numerical Approach for the Sensitivity Analysis of Dielectric Resonator Sensors

Originally Mathematica notebook, 12 pagesA theoretical model based on the transverse resonance method is proposed for the description of cylindrical multilayer dielectric resonator sensors. From this model, the resonant frequency and the sensitivities with respect to geometrical and physical parameters are computed by means of a combination of symbolic and numerical procedures. These are gathered together in a package in view of the computer assisted design of this range of sensors. On this occasion, a few design patterns for engineering applications are sketched

Assessment of some indicators within an impact

A thorough presentation and discussion of principles for the selection and building of indicators was given in Chapter 4. Chapter 4 also discussed the role of different kinds of criteria for the selection or building of indicators. A procedure applicable for the selection or building of environmental indicators for transport was arrived at in section 4.4.2. The procedure, including the use of ten criteria listed in Table 25, is brought further in the present Chapter 5. This is done by presenting how the suggested procedure can be applied to seven of the chains of causalities described in Annex 6: direct toxicity of air pollutants (section 5.1), natural habitat fragmentation (section 5.2), non-renewable resource use (section 5.3), loss of cultural heritage due to land take (section 5.4), noise as annoyance to humans (section 5.5), greenhouse effect (section 5.6), and waste (section 5.7). The seven chains have been selected so as to − be of value for European-level policy makers − be of value for national government policy makers − be of value for regional planners and policy makers − be of value for researchers and other academics − be pedagogic − include causality chains that are qualitatively different − include chains that are well described and well known For three of the chains, the application of the different steps of the procedure has been outlined. For six of the chains, examples of existing indicators for a limited number of chain steps are presented and discussed. The chapter also illustrates how the procedure could be applied for the building of an indicator where there is a lack of indicators (section 5.4

Varia

Ce volume des Cahiers regroupe sept contributions – quatre articles, deux enquêtes et une fiche pédagogique – sur des thèmes variés, au travers desquels il est cependant possible de tracer un fil conducteur. En effet, au travers des différents textes, c'est une vision globale du système éducatif, des différents acteurs et du contenu de l’enseignement/apprentissage qui est présentée : élaboration d’un dispositif d’enseignement, formation des formateurs, pratiques des apprenants (utilisation d’Internet et stages), contenu de l’enseignement (étude linguistique et fiche pédagogique). Toutes ces contributions s’appuient sur l’utilisation des TIC

25 ans de Cahiers - 25 fiches pédagogiques

Pour marquer le 25e anniversaire des Cahiers de l’APLIUT, nous avons choisi de publier 25 fiches pédagogiques, soulignant ainsi la créativité des enseignants de langue des IUT. Les sujets sont variés – cyberquête, jeu, travail sur l’actualité, création artistique, etc. Presque toutes les activités concernent l’enseignement de l’anglais, mais la plupart des fiches sont adaptables à toutes les langues et à tous les publics. Un texte d’Anne Azam-Pradeilles, fondatrice de l’APLIUT et des Cahiers, ouvre le volume. Elle s’est penchée sur les sommaires des 50 premiers numéros et fait partager aux plus jeunes les débuts épiques et l’évolution de la revue
