Le Comité français pour les travaux sans tranchée (FSTT) a pour objectif la promotion des techniques sans tranchée, plus respectueuses de la vie urbaine. C'est pourquoi la FSTT s'est engagée avec l'aide du ministère de l'Équipement (DRAST), dans le Projet national Microtunnels. Il s'agissait de développer, dans le domaine du microtunnelage et du forage dirigé, des recherches pluridisciplinaires afin de permettre une meilleure connaissance de ces techniques et de les adapter aux spécificités du contexte et du marché français. Ces recherches ont porté à la fois sur les aspects fondamentaux, en s'appuyant sur des mesures de terrain ou des résultats de modélisations et d'études en laboratoire, et sur des considérations technologiques (matériaux mis en oeuvre, suivis des paramètres de forage, etc.). Enfin, la dimension socio-économique a été approchée en proposant une évaluation des coûts sociaux. Ce projet représente au final près de huit ans de recherche, un budget de 2,2 millions d'euros et un fort partenariat réunissant maîtres d'oeuvre, bureaux d'études, entreprises et fournisseurs. Rédigée sous la forme de recommandations, la synthèse de ces recherches présentée ici en deux volumes se veut pragmatique, pédagogique, accessible à celui qui, donneur d'ordres ou entrepreneur, désire monter un projet, "sans tranchée". Cet ouvrage apporte les clés d'un dossier bien préparé pour lequel chaque étape aura été respectée (reconnaissances géotechniques, paramètres de fonctionnement des machines, choix du matériel et des matériaux). Si ce manuel ne peut bien entendu garantir le succès systématique, il dresse la liste des pièges et permet d'éviter les difficultés rencontrées dans les premières années d'exploitation de ces techniques nouvelles.

Il est essentiel de maîtriser chaque étape de la transformation d'un aliment, pour apporter, au meilleur coût, les propriétés attendues, la constance de cette production et construire la sécurité de l'aliment. Il existe plusieurs voies pour réaliser cet enjeu. Globalement l'industrialisation a consisté à chercher les moyens d'atteindre cet objectif.Dans ces démarches, l'automatisation prend une place importante en tant que solution. Malgré une industrialisation récente des industries alimentaires, le niveau d'automatisation est important. Une raison majeure réside sans doute dans les phénomènes nombreux et imbriqués qui constituent les procédés alimentaires. La maîtrise des interactions nécessite d'ajouter au procédé quelques aides qui permettent à l'homme de guider et réaliser les meilleurs choix et compromis, tout au long de la transformation de l'aliment.Améliorer les conditions d'exploitation, les maîtriser, les améliorer sans cesse constitue les clés de la rentabilité de la fabrication d'un aliment. Comment aborder l'automatisation d'un procédé des industries alimentaires ? Quelles sont les étapes clés, limitantes ou non qui doivent être assurées pour réussir ? Comment mettre en œuvre ces solutions ? Répondre à ces questions est en grande partie l'objet de l'ouvrage Les procédés agroalimentaires. Tome 1 : Modélisation et estimation, il met l'accent sur quelques aspects des évolutions récentes de l'automatique et de son implication dans les procédés alimentaires.

Cybersecurity, despite the fact that information has always been a core value in achieving competitive advantages and value in developing communication technologies has become an ever evolving phenomenon in the cyber world. Often, cybersecurity has emerged as a whole panacea to the struggle for benefits in international affairs which led states to create a network of intelligence and resolve conflicts within interstate agreements. At the same time, the rapid development of information and communication technologies has led to a break in established international rules and boundaries for the dissemination of information giving birth to the dire need of Cybersecurity. Massive access to professional data and public information has transformed from regulatory to commercial, hence, cybersecurity. Reflecting the evolution of information and communication tools and technologies via synergizing theoretical and practical skills in our book 'Cybersecurity As a Fishing Game,' we aimed to convey, in a concise manner, the importance of cybersafety in due regards to cybersecurity and the value of correct use. We hope and are confident to attract a wide range of users of the collected knowledge and experience on the relevance of cybersecurity. Moreover, the audiobook version of this Cybersecurity edition expands the possibilities of professionals, whose eyes are constantly busy working with the monitor. We honestly guess that the destiny of this audiobook version on cybersecurity will be inspiring on further research and finding answers, not only for professionals, but to motivate hackers for a positive change!

Stop thinking about efficiency and start thinking about sufficiency. Stop thinking about efficiency and start thinking about sufficiency Living the 1.5 Degree Lifestyle reveals the carbon cost of everything we do, identifying where we can make big reductions, while not sweating the small stuff. The international scientific consensus is that we have less than a decade to drastically slash our collective carbon emissions to keep global heating to 1.5 degrees and avert catastrophe. This means that many of us have to cut our individual carbon footprints by over 80% to 2.5 tonnes per person per year by 2030. But where to start? Drawing on Lloyd Alter's journey to track his daily carbon emissions and live the 1.5 degree lifestyle, coverage includes: What it looks like to live a rich and truly green life From take-out food, to bikes and cars, to your internet usage – finding the big wins, ignoring the trivial, and spotting marketing ploys The invisible embodied carbon baked into everything we own and why electric cars aren't the answer How to start thinking about sufficiency rather than efficiency The roles of individuals versus governments and corporations. Grounded in meticulous research and yet accessible to all, Living the 1.5 Degree Lifestyle is a journey toward a life of quality over quantity, and sufficiency over efficiency, as we race to save our only home from catastrophic heating. Acknowledgments The 1.5-Degree Lifestyle: Introduction 1. What's the 1.5-Degree Lifestyle? 2. Equity, Fairness, and the 2.5-Tonne Budget 3. Why Individual Actions Matter 4.
