Because of the need to abolish the castration of piglets without anaesthesia/analgesia, the pig industry is searching for a mode of action for the valorisation of meat with boar taint, an off-odour in entire male pigs. Carcasses with boar taint were selected by means of sensory and chemical analysis, after which patties with different levels of tai...
Pavement instrumentation with embeddable in-situ sensors has been a feasible approach to determine pavement deteriorations. Determining pavement deflections during the passage of the load is a promising strategy to determine the overall performance of the pavement. There are different devices that apply loads to the pavements and measure the deflec...
Cities are highly sealed resulting in less infiltration in the ground and so on in high quantities of runoff water and less evapotranspiration. A large part of stormwater is then drained by separate or combined sewer systems. In case of heavy rainfalls, stormwater can join directly the river, eventually leading to urban floods, or overflows through...
The perpetuity and improvement of REDD+ projects for curbing deforestation require rigorous impact evaluations of the effectiveness of existing on-the-ground interventions. Today, a number of global and regional remote sensing (RS) products are publicly available for detecting changes in forest cover worldwide. In this study, we assess the suitabil...
Research on image quality assessment (IQA) remains limited mainly due to our incomplete knowledge about human visual perception. Existing IQA algorithms have been designed or trained with insufficient subjective data with a small degree of stimulus variability. This has led to challenges for those algorithms to handle complexity and diversity of re...
Abstract From the production about the Context Evaluation on Child Education and the research experience in this field, this text presents and discusses a qualitative research about the evaluation of play at a child education institution in Curitiba. It was proposed and realized an internal evaluation course, participatory and formative with the fa...
Web2.0 tools (wiki, forum) have already been used successfully in geographic information systems (GIS) for collaborative editing of geo-referenced contents. On the other hand, no work was performed in collaborative testing of map semiology to date. To compensate for this lack, we propose WIKISemio, a web tool that integrates a WIKI.
Le manuel de la sécurité routière de l'association mondiale de la route souligne l'importance qui doit être accordée à la démarche évaluative pour mener une politique publique de sécurité routière efficace. L'évaluation doit aider les autorités à calibrer leurs interventions, à cibler au mieux les objectifs et prioriser les différentes actions de l...
Organised by CSTB, FSF is a three-day event that fosters dialogue among scientists, academics and professionals in the field of facade fire safety.
