Types and concentration of microplastics found on remote island beaches during the Race for Water Odyssey

Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Florian Faure, Frédéric Sciacca, Clément Levasseur

Initiated in 2015 by the Race for Water Foundation, the Race for Water Odyssey is an environmental expedition which sailed across Atlantic, Pacific & Indian Oceans. It has 3 main goals: i) analyse plastic pollution on beaches of remote islands; ii) raise a ...

In-building waste water heat recovery: an urban scale method for energy saving assessments

François Maréchal, Alexandre Suzanne Jean-Marie Bertrand, Riad Aggoune

Residential domestic hot water (DHW) energy consumption represented 16% of the EU household heating demand in 2013. Due to the improvement of the building envelop, it is expected to increase significantly, with values between 20% to 32% in single family bu ...

Synthesis of non-isothermal water networks including process hot and cold streams

François Maréchal, Maziar Kermani

The synthesis problems of non‒isothermal water networks have received considerable attention throughout academia and industry over the last two decades because of the importance of simultaneously minimising water and energy consumption [1]. Most papers hav ...

Sodium Signaling and Astrocyte Energy Metabolism

Pierre Magistretti, Jean-Yves Chatton

The Na+ gradient across the plasma membrane is constantly exploited by astrocytes as a secondary energy source to regulate the intracellular and extracellular milieu, and discard waste products. One of the most prominent roles of astrocytes in the brain is ...

Race For Water Odyssey: Quantitative and Qualitative Assessment of Marine Plastic Debris Collected on Shorelines

Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Florian Faure, Frédéric Sciacca, Clément Levasseur

With the help of the local people we met during the course of the 2015 Odyssey, the main objective, obtaining a collection of comparable data about marine plastic pollution using the NOAA internationally recognized protocol, has been achieved. It cannot be ...

A minimalistic microbial food web in an excavated deep subsurface clay rock

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Alexandre Bagnoud

Clay rocks are being considered for radioactive waste disposal, but relatively little is known about the impact of microbes on the long-term safety of geological repositories. Thus, a more complete understanding of microbial community structure and functio ...

Water retention behaviour of compacted bentonites: experimental observations and constitutive model

Anne-Catherine Adolphine M Dieudonné

Bentonite-based materials are studied as potential barriers for the geological disposal of radioactive waste. In this context, the hydro-mechanical behaviour of the engineered barrier is first characterized by free swelling conditions followed by constant ...

Competing effects of volume change and water uptake on the water retention behaviour of a compacted MX-80 bentonite/sand mixture

Anne-Catherine Adolphine M Dieudonné

Bentonite-based materials have been studied as potential barriers for the geological disposal of radioactive waste. In this context, the hydro-mechanical behaviour of the engineered barrier is first characterized by free swelling conditions (as a consequen ...
