Planifier avec le territoire : la dynamique des lieux de projets à l’épreuve des approches participatives et paysagères by Benoît Dugua, Leila Chakroun

“…In this article, we propose to enrich this concept of “transactional places” through two major themes : urban quality of life and urban agriculture. We illustrate the latter by means of two case studies in the agglomeration of Lausanne : the Boveresses neighbourhood contract and the participative design of the Agroecological Farm of Rovéréaz. …”

Functional insights from an exploration of the inner structure of the patella: new perspectives for the study of the hominin fossil record by Marine Cazenave

“…However, patellar remains are rare in the hominin fossil record and it is still unclear whether and how their differences in shape and proportions compared to extant humans affect knee kinesiology. Here, we illustrate with a first example from a sample of human, Pan, Papio and Neanderthal patellae that the development of a "whole-bone" endostructural analysis has the potential to provide relevant functional information for reconstructing the knee loading environment in fossil taxa, combined, whenever necessary, with a subsampling approach. …”

Finite Element Analysis of Thermal-structural Coupling for an Aeronautical Spiral Bevel Gear by Yao Huijun, Liu Shijun, Xu Wenbo, Liu Jie, Wang Xiaopeng

“…The maximum contact stress of thermal-structure coupling analysis of gear teeth relative to static contact stress and KISSsoft contact stress have respectively increased 5. 3% and 7. 45% due to the influence of bulk temperature fields,which illustrates the results of the finite element analysis and the results of the KISSsoft analysis are consistency,and then a theoretical basis for the structure optimization and gear modification of the spiral bevel gear pair can be provided.…”
