Traitement de données linguistiques dans un problème de décision multicritère

The aim of this paper is to provide a conceptual framework to deal with qualitative data in multicriteria analysis. The theory of fuzzy subsets is applied to this problem. But instead of resorting to the usual interval [0, 1], the two proposed methods call in this case for a discrete scale, the degrees of which are linguistic attributs.Le but de ce travail est de proposer un cadre conceptuel à l’ analyse multicritère de données qualitatives. La théorie des sous-ensembles flous est appliquée à ce problème. Mais au lieu d’utiliser l’ intervalle [0, 1], les deux méthodes proposées ici utilisent une échelle dont les échelons sont des attributs purement qualitatifs

Développement d'un réacteur intensifié en Carbure de Silicium pour la transposition en continu de réactions d'hydrosilylation

De nos jours, les limites du réacteur batch, outil conventionnel de l'industrie de la chimie fine, en termes de transfert thermique et de transfert de matière, conduisent à envisager le passage en continu de réactions dont les problématiques d'exothermie et de rapidité rendent leur industrialisation difficile. Les réacteurs-échangeurs compacts sont un exemple de technologies intensifiées continues alliant les performances d'un échangeur de chaleur couplées à un bon mélange ainsi qu'à un comportement de type piston offert par le design spécifique de leurs canaux. L'objectif de ces travaux est de démontrer la faisabilité de la transposition en continu d'une réaction fondamentale de la chimie des silicones, recensée comme l'une des plus exothermiques, dans un réacteur-échangeur intensifié conçu dans un matériau innovant : le Carbure de Silicium. La démarche a consisté à étudier les différentes phases de la réaction à plusieurs échelles afin de construire un modèle cinétique. L'exploitation de ce modèle a permis de définir les conditions optimales de la réaction permettant de répondre aux contraintes industrielles en termes de conversion, de consommation de catalyseur et de production industrielle. Enfin, une démarche d'optimisation et d'extrapolation du réacteur a été mise en place pour le pilotage industriel de la réaction étudiée. ABSTRACT : Nowadays in the field of fine chemistry, limitations of conventional batch reactors in term of heat and mass transfer lead to increase the interest in the transposition of reactions from batch to continuous mode. It is particularly the case of fast and highly exothermic reactions as they raise safety issues in batch reactor. Compact heat-exchanger reactors (HEX reactor) are an example of continuous intensified technologies as they offer the heat transfer performances of heat exchangers coupled with high mixing and plug-flow behaviour, thanks to specific designs of channels. The aim of this work is to demonstrate the feasibility of the transposition of a fast and highly exothermic hydrosilylation reaction, a fundamental method for the industrial synthesis of organosilicon compounds, into a continuous heat-exchanger reactor made of a very innovative material: the silicone carbide. The methodology adopted consists in investigating hydrosilylation kinetics studies at different residence time scales. Then kinetics modelling and optimisation allow defining the features for process industrialization. Industrials objectives in terms of conversion and catalyst reduction are reached with a shorter time. Moreover the outstanding heat transfer performances of the HEX reactor, which entirely absorb the high exothermicity, successfully demonstrate the feasibility of the transposition into continuou

¿Pueden los indicadores existentes medir el impacto de la crisis económica en los servicios sociales básicos? Un análisis de los indicadores en la provincia de Barcelona (2007-2013)

Este artículo se enmarca en el ámbito de la evaluación de los servicios sociales básicos, como herramienta de gestión y como base para la reflexión sobre los objetivos de los servicios sociales como política social. Se ponen en relación indicadores del sistema de servicios sociales (Círculos de Comparación Intermunicipal de Barcelona) con indicadores del contexto socioeconómico entre 2007 y 2013 para analizar las interrelaciones entre los resultados de ambas tipologías y su adecuación para evaluar el cumplimiento de las funciones asignadas a los servicios sociales. También se reflexiona sobre la capacidad de los indicadores para medir el impacto de la acción de los servicios sociales básicos, sobre la necesidad de incorporar el análisis cruzado, para así obtener información relevante para la toma de decisiones y sobre si los indicadores existentes tienen las características para evaluar la eficacia de los servicios sociales básicos, de acuerdo con las funciones y el rol que se les asigna

The haplotype-resolved chromosome pairs of a heterozygous diploid African cassava cultivar reveal novel pan-genome and allele-specific transcriptome features

Background Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is an important clonally propagated food crop in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Genetic gain by molecular breeding has been limited, partially because cassava is a highly heterozygous crop with a repetitive and difficult-to-assemble genome. Findings Here we demonstrate that Pacific Biosciences high-fidelity (HiFi) sequencing reads, in combination with the assembler hifiasm, produced genome assemblies at near complete haplotype resolution with higher continuity and accuracy compared to conventional long sequencing reads. We present 2 chromosome-scale haploid genomes phased with Hi-C technology for the diploid African cassava variety TME204. With consensus accuracy >QV46, contig N50 >18 Mb, BUSCO completeness of 99%, and 35k phased gene loci, it is the most accurate, continuous, complete, and haplotype-resolved cassava genome assembly so far. Ab initio gene prediction with RNA-seq data and Iso-Seq transcripts identified abundant novel gene loci, with enriched functionality related to chromatin organization, meristem development, and cell responses. During tissue development, differentially expressed transcripts of different haplotype origins were enriched for different functionality. In each tissue, 20-30% of transcripts showed allele-specific expression (ASE) differences. ASE bias was often tissue specific and inconsistent across different tissues.

The haplotype-resolved chromosome pairs of a heterozygous diploid African cassava cultivar reveal novel pan-genome and allele-specific transcriptome features

Background: Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is an important clonally propagated food crop in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Genetic gain by molecular breeding has been limited, partially because cassava is a highly heterozygous crop with a repetitive and difficult-to-assemble genome. Findings: Here we demonstrate that Pacific Biosciences high-fidelity (HiFi) sequencing reads, in combination with the assembler hifiasm, produced genome assemblies at near complete haplotype resolution with higher continuity and accuracy compared to conventional long sequencing reads. We present 2 chromosome-scale haploid genomes phased with Hi-C technology for the diploid African cassava variety TME204. With consensus accuracy >QV46, contig N50 >18 Mb, BUSCO completeness of 99%, and 35k phased gene loci, it is the most accurate, continuous, complete, and haplotype-resolved cassava genome assembly so far. Ab initio gene prediction with RNA-seq data and Iso-Seq transcripts identified abundant novel gene loci, with enriched functionality related to chromatin organization, meristem development, and cell responses. During tissue development, differentially expressed transcripts of different haplotype origins were enriched for different functionality. In each tissue, 20-30% of transcripts showed allele-specific expression (ASE) differences. ASE bias was often tissue specific and inconsistent across different tissues. Direction-shifting was observed in <2% of the ASE transcripts. Despite high gene synteny, the HiFi genome assembly revealed extensive chromosome rearrangements and abundant intra-genomic and inter-genomic divergent sequences, with large structural variations mostly related to LTR retrotransposons. We use the reference-quality assemblies to build a cassava pan-genome and demonstrate its importance in representing the genetic diversity of cassava for downstream reference-guided omics analysis and breeding. Conclusions: The phased and annotated chromosome pairs allow a systematic view of the heterozygous diploid genome organization in cassava with improved accuracy, completeness, and haplotype resolution. They will be a valuable resource for cassava breeding and research. Our study may also provide insights into developing cost-effective and efficient strategies for resolving complex genomes with high resolution, accuracy, and continuity

Contribution to the knowledge of 'banquettes' of <i>Posidonia oceanica</i> (l.) Delile in Sardinia Island

In the framework of the Sardinia and Corsica Interreg II Project, a study on the dead leaves of Posidonia oceanica, washed up along the beaches and forming banquettes, was carried out in different sites of the 2 islands. As far as Sardinia is concerned, biomass, biochemical composition (including heavy metals), detrital fractions and sand contents of the banquettes were investigated
