At present, quality assurance in higher education institutions has become a strategic axis of both administrative and academic tasks of universities, not only for compliance with legal requirements but also for satisfying society’s requirements for quality. in the planning, execution and results of the development of its substantive axes: teaching,...
A strengthening system with adhesively bonded CFRP reinforcement was developed in the Infravation project FASSTbridge to extend the remaining fatigue lifetime of existing steel bridge constructions. The premature debonding of CFRP and steel is seen as a major risk to lose the contribution of the retrofitting system. Consequently, an ultrathin debon...

The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) regularly conducts nationally representative cross-sectional studies (KiGGS, DEGS and GEDA) as part of the nationwide health monitoring system. In addition to these health surveys, data is collected in telephone interviews either on specific thematic fields (such as diabetes) or specific groups (such as medical staff...
CICE 2018, Conférence internationale sur les composites à matrice polymère renforcée de fibres en génie civil, PARIS, FRANCE, 17-/07/2018 - 19/07/2018
Driving from advances of two main projects in France (AMPERES and ARMISTIQ), this paper covers the recommendations for sampling and analytical methods for the quantification of priority and emerging micropollutants concentrations and fluxes in wastewaters and sludge, and addresses a new methodology for assessing robust micropollutant removal effici...

It is well recognised that genomic, proteomic and biomarker studies require properly annotated and well-characterised biospecimens. Consequently, this necessitates biobanks to collect, store and distribute biospecimens under stringent quality control and assurance measures. However, despite this realisation, there remains a lack of standardisation ...
Demographic growth in countries south of the Mediterranean, combined with the recent migratory upheaval emanating from conflicts in the Middle East, accelerates the urban growth and the spatial concentration of populations on coastlines and estuary zones. According to consistent findings from several foresight studies conducted by the Centre Intern...
La certification de la qualité des produits alimentaires par des signes officiels de qualité représente un enjeu majeur de développement des filières alimentaires en Europe et dans les pays du Sud. La demande de certification est généralement initiée par les producteurs dans un objectif soit offensif de valorisation sur le marché ou défensif pour s...
