Quelques remarques concernant l'influence de la culture sur le développement du profil pédogénétique

The process of natural profile development, which is often to be brought to a standstill in cultivated soils, seems on the contrary to continue in a specific direction ( at least in many parts of Belgium). The effect of profile development in cultivated soils was studied in the Belgian polder area on sandy sediments, cultivated very soon after their deposition towards the VIIIth century. It seems impossible to classify these soils with one of the known Great Soil Groups of the temperate regions. It is thought that the described development in cultivated soils tends to change, although very slowly, the morphology of many of the Belgian gray brown podzolic soils on medium textured parent materials

Multi-domain service orchestration over networks and clouds: a unified approach

End-to-end service delivery often includes transparently inserted Network Functions (NFs) in the path. Flexible service chaining will require dynamic instantiation of both NFs and traffic forwarding overlays. Virtualization techniques in compute and networking, like cloud and Software Defined Networking (SDN), promise such flexibility for service providers. However, patching together existing cloud and network control mechanisms necessarily puts one over the above, e.g., OpenDaylight under an OpenStack controller. We designed and implemented a joint cloud and network resource virtualization and programming API. In this demonstration, we show that our abstraction is capable for flexible service chaining control over any technology domain
