Les modèles de simulation de la qualité de l'air sont des outils indispensables à la conception de stratégies de réduction de la pollution atmosphérique. Ils ont l'avantage de pouvoir calculer les effets de n'importe quelle réduction d'émissions mais présentent l'inconvénient de demander un temps de calcul très important (plusieurs jours ou semaines). Les modèles Sources/Récepteurs s'appuient sur un nombre réduit de scénarios simulés par un modèle de qualité l'air afin de pouvoir calculer très rapidement (quelques minutes) les effets de n'importe quelle réduction des émissions. Ce travail de diplôme se propose d'améliorer la nouvelle génération de modèles Sources/Récepteurs récemment développés au European Joint Research Center (JRC) d'Ispra (Italie).

Mechanical calculator

A mechanical calculator, or calculating machine, is a mechanical device used to perform the basic operations of arithmetic automatically, or (historically) a simulation such as an analog computer or a slide rule. Most mechanical calculators were comparable in size to small desktop computers and have been rendered obsolete by the advent of the electronic calculator and the digital computer. Surviving notes from Wilhelm Schickard in 1623 reveal that he designed and had built the earliest of the modern attempts at mechanizing calculation.

Lettres de cachet

Lettres de cachet (lɛtʁ də kaʃɛ; "letters of the sign/signet") were letters signed by the king of France, countersigned by one of his ministers, and closed with the royal seal. They contained orders directly from the king, often to enforce arbitrary actions and judgments that could not be appealed. In the case of organized bodies, 'lettres de cachet’ were issued for the purpose of preventing assembly or accomplishing some other definite act.

Forest growth models of Canada

Forest growth models are mathematical or computer models to project the future state and yields of forest stands or forest trees, over a time scale of from a few years to many decades. Structure and function of growth models vary: some are purely empirical, based on the reproduction of past observations, while others explicitly mimic specific processes relative to tree ecophysiology, stand dynamics, etc. Typically, growth models use forest inventory data and site characteristics, such as soil type, drainage class, average annual temperature, precipitation, etc.
