Abstract The iron and steel industry produces a large number of low-grade waste heat resources, which are not fully utilized. In addition, the iron and steel industry consumes a lot of water. This paper presents a method of utilizing waste heat of blast furnace slag flushing water for seawater desalination. After the flash process, heat exchange process and heat repair process, the blast furnace slag water was converted into steam which is 70 °C, which provided a heat source for MED (Multi-effect Desalination). This utilization method of waste heat was verified by thermodynamics and production data. More >

Abstract In the context of shoreline management and monitoring issues, inferring information and knowledge from the Web are considered as a crucial issue. However, Spatial Data Infrastructures promoters’ strategies and content are still unknown. This article presents a methodological approach to study the technical possibilities of access to the digital geographic information on online platforms often used for shoreline management and monitoring in France. Geographical data access on such platforms is granted by the presence of hyperlinks and Geospatial Web services. The analysis of this structural components (hyperlinks and Web services) shows a disparate situation for the access to geographical information.… More >

Abstract The emergence of Web 2.0 is materialized by new technologies (APIs, Ajax, etc.), by new practices (mashup, geotagging, etc.) an, by new tools (wiki, blog, etc.). It is primarily based on the principle of participation and collaboration. In this dynamic, the web mapping with spatial character or simply called Geospatial Web (or Geoweb) evolves by strong technological and social changes. Participatory GeoWeb 2.0 is materialized in particular by mashups among wikis and géobrowsers (ArgooMap, Geowiki, WikiMapia, etc.). The new applications resulting from these mashups are moving towards more interactive forms of collective intelligence. The Geodesign is a new area, which… More >

Abstract A conceptual spatiotemporal data model must be able to offer users a semantic richness of expression to meet their diverse needs concerning the modeling of spatio-temporal data. The conceptual spatiotemporal data model must be able to represent the objects, relationships and events that can occur in a field of study, track data history, support the multirepresentation of these data, and represent temporal and spatial data with two and three dimensions features. The model must also allow the assignment of different types of constraints to relations and provide a complete orthogonality between dimensions and concepts. The MADS model meets several requirements… More >

Abstract Tangier-Assilah prefecture coast, situated in the furthest north-west of Morocco Kingdom constitutes an important attraction center for many socioeconomic activities and shelters an environmental varied rich and vulnerable patrimony.The integrated management of this complex space involves a thorough knowledge of its functioning and evolution, themselves are reliant on several physical socioeconomic and statutory factors, which interact at different spatiotemporal scales. And for such a purpose, the GIS represents an adequate implement for collecting, managing, processing and spreading abroad a huge amount of diverse sources and natures data.The aim of this current work is the implementation of a coastal Geographic Information… More >

Abstract Aim: The aim of this study is, first, to identify available scales assessing illness representations and, second, to analyze their use in empirical works with cancer patients.
Procedure: This includes literature review.
Results: Seven measuring tools are available in the literature. Only one of them is cancer specific; 29 of the 33 included studies use one of the three Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ) versions.
Conclusion: We propose to combine these scales’ applications with other methods based on different approaches focused on sociocultural context.

Abstract Microbial cell surface display technology is a recombinant technology to express target proteins on the cell membrane, which can be used to redesign the cell surface with functional proteins and peptides. Bacterial and yeast surface display systems are the most common cell surface display systems of prokaryotic and eukaryotic proteins, that are widely applied as the core elements in the field of biosensors due to their advantages, including enhanced stability, high yield, good safety, expression of larger and more complex proteins. To further promote the performance of biosensors, the biomineralized microbial surface display technology was proposed. This review summarized the… More >

Abstract The issue of food and characterization of food environments has been the subject of many studies and methodological developments to report and account for accessibility differentials. In the United States most studies are interested in this question with regard to health issues and have led to identify “food deserts”. As part of a project for which the main goal is to explore the transferability of this notion to other spaces, with a broader perspective on spatial justice, we propose a generic framework to shed light on this highly spatial question, generally addressed by qualitative (surveys, interviews) or quantitative methods (GIS-based… More >

Abstract The use of carbon-fiber heating cables (CFHC) to achieve effective melting of snow and ice deposited on roads is a method used worldwide. In this study, tensile and compressive tests have been conducted to analyze the mechanical properties of the CFHC and assess whether the maximum tensile and compressive strengths can meet the pavement design specifications. In order to study the aging produced by multiple cycles of heating and cooling, in particular, the CFHC was repeatedly heated in a cold chamber with an ambient temperature ranging between −20°C and +40°C. Moreover, to evaluate how the strength of the pavement is… More > Graphic Abstract
