Assessment of the Energy Balance of Rock Masses through Discrete Element Modelling
With the increase of mining depth, rockbursts become one of the most serious hazards in mines. Studies of rockburst mechanisms can be done through the application of various numerical methods at the laboratory and site scales. Among the different methods available, the discrete element method (DEM) is now increasingly used thanks to its capability ...
Coupled population balance and heat transfer model for the description of ice recrystallization during long-term storage...
A coupled population and energy balance model describing separately growth and dissolution of the ice crystals was developed to simulate recrystallization by Ostwald ripening during long-term storage of ice cream. The model reproduced accurately (R2 > 0.90) measurements of the ice crystal average diameter for two ice creams (ICA and ICB) stored at ...
Experimental investigation about energy balance of electron emission from materials under electron impacts at low energy...
The energy balance measurement of electron emission at a wall submitted to electron impact at low incident energy is a topic of interest for miscellaneous technological applications. This article points out the experimental protocol, biases corrections and post-process needed to obtain reproducible and quantitative electron emission measurements. T...
Influence of mining excavation on energy redistribution and rockburst potential
With the increase of mining depth, rockburst is one of the most serious disasters which threaten the safety of mine operators and the surface stability. Several approaches have been developed since the sixties to assess rockburst potential in underground hardrock mines. Some of the approaches are based on energy balance around mining excavations su...

Modelling fruit-temperature dynamics within apple tree crowns using virtual plants.
Published in Annals of botany
This study shows that linking virtual plants with the modelling of the physical plant environment offers a relevant framework to address the modelling of fruit-temperature dynamics within a tree canopy. The proposed model offers opportunities for modelling effects of the within-crown architecture on fruit thermal responses in horticultural studies....
Paired comparison of water, energy and carbon exchanges over two young maritime pine stands (Pinus pinaster Ait.): effec...
Published in Tree physiology
The effects of management practices on energy, water and carbon exchanges were investigated in a young pine plantation in south-west France. In 2009-10, carbon dioxide (CO(2)), H(2)O and heat fluxes were monitored using the eddy covariance and sap flow techniques in a control plot (C) with a developed gorse layer, and an adjacent plot that was mech...
Comparison of Penman-Monteith and non-linear energy balance approaches for estimating leaf wetness duration and apple sc...
Leaf Wetness Duration (LWD) is the main parameter involved in the apple scab development in apple orchards. LWD values can be inferred from weather conditions by solving a non-linear energy balance equation. Such energy balance equation is usually linearized leading to the Penman-Monteith equations. However this approximation leads to significant e...
Nutritional sub-fertility in the dairy cow: towards improved reproductive management through a better biological underst...
Published in Animal : an international journal of animal bioscience
There has been a significant decline in the reproductive performance of dairy cattle in recent decades. Cows, take longer time to return to the oestrus after calving, have poorer conception rates, and show fewer signs of oestrus. Achieving good reproductive performance is an increasing challenge for the dairy producer. In this study we focus on und...
