Abstract As part of the Monaco offshore urban extension project, Bouygues TP is in charge of design & build a maritime infrastructure as the first step of the six-hectare expansion of the city into the sea. This maritime infrastructure consists of a fill enclosed by a band of trapezoid concrete caissons and will serve as base for construction of the new residential area. The paper focuses on some of the problems which had to be solved: optimization of promenade level and wave absorbing chambers in conjunction with minimal reflection and safety related to overtopping, accounting for sea level rise and correlation between extreme waves and water levels. caissons and rubble mound foundation stability related to waves and seism, including extra seismic forces due to buildings considering the high reclamation height and the immediate proximity of building foundations. the way in which caissons representing nearly 80,000 m3 of concrete can be built in a floating and continuous manner via a caisson box (or "caissonnier" in French), within a particularly short time frame presence of a small craft harbor with shops along the quays, whose location was fixed for urbanistic reasons, which requested optimizations in detail of anti-overtopping devices as much as possible integrated in the urban context, need to convert a breakwater caisson into a low crested swimming pool caisson, with plexiglas windows exposed to wave slamming from outside, but also from inside due to overtopping impacts over the swimming pool basin. Ecodesign has been closely associated with hydrodynamic and coastal engineering, based on estimation of wave pressures and induced velocities in the different possible locations (chambers, walls, structures toes …). The eco-friendly development strategy is based on the wide-scale deployment of a range of 11 solutions which will be described (potential for caissons to be colonized, nursery function development, etc…). Moreover, posidonia transplantation has been done via concrete open boxes, whose stability under storm waves has requested CFD calculations to model local velocities and optimize their shape.

Innovation Clusters

In this paper, I review current status and development strategies in Korean innovation cluster. In particular, I compared the innovation clusters of Daejeon and Gyeonggi - do, and examined the differences and ways of cooperation. Among Daejeon and Gyeonggi-province innovation clusters, the DaedeokInnopolis is focused on R & D and pursues technology commercialization in connection with venture companies. Pangyo Techno Valley is a state-of-the-art IT technology centered on high technology companies. If wide-scale cooperation measures are established between Daejeon and Gyeonggi-do clusters, which are different from each other in the process of formation and complexity, a great synergy will be created at the national level. The future development strategy will be derived by examining the representative innovation cluster in Korea. The first strategic direction is to set up a vision of 'loosely coupled' between the Daejeon and Gyeonggi-do innovation clusters. The second strategic direction is to promote 'loosely coupled' wide-area cooperation programs between clusters. The third strategic direction is to foster an open innovation venture ecosystem.

Abstract. Pre-Columbian raised field agriculture in the tropical lowlands of South America has received increasing attention and been the focus of heated debates regarding its function, productivity, and role in the development of pre-Columbian societies. Even though raised fields are all associated to permanent or semi-permanent high water levels, they occur in different environmental contexts. Very few field-based studies on raised fields have been carried out in the tropical lowlands and little is known about their use and past management. Based on topographic surveying and mapping, soil physical/chemical analysis and OSL and radiocarbon dating, this paper provides insight into the morphology, functioning and time frame of the use of raised fields in the south-western Llanos de Moxos, Bolivian Amazon. We have studied raised fields of different sizes that were built in an area, near the town of San Borja, with a complex fluvial history. The results show that differences in field size and height are the result of an adaptation to a site where soil properties vary significantly on a scale of tens to hundreds of meters. The analysis and dating of the raised fields sediments point towards an extensive and rather brief use of the raised fields, for about 100–200 years at the beginning of the 2nd millennium.

Structurally controlled Late Archaean gold mineralizations associated with felsic plutons in the Harare–Shamva greenstone belt, Zimbabwe, are synchronous with the emplacement of their hosts. The ages of these mineralizations are identical to those reported from other mesothermal gold deposits elsewhere in the Zimbabwe Craton. The Pb and Nd isotopic signatures of the host plutons are compatible with a direct mantle or a short crustal residence period for the protoliths to the host intrusions. The coincidence of the Pb-isotope data from ore minerals with the whole-rock trends (errorchrons) of their host intrusives strongly suggests that the gold could have a magmatic, rather than a metamorphic, source. There is no evidence from the Pb isotopes of significant involvement of older basement in the genesis of gold deposits associated with felsic intrusions in the Harare–Shamva greenstone belt. On a craton-wide scale, the time frame around 2.65 Ga represents a period of significant crustal growth (through addition of mantle-derived magma), deformation, and metamorphism. The temporal and spatial coincidence of these three parameters has created favorable conditions for the emplacement of the largest class of Archaean gold mineralizations that are currently known in the country.

The Royal Navy (RN) is pursuing the ‘All Electric’ ship under its Marine Engineering Development Strategy (MEDS). This strategy envisages the use of long life, fuel efficient, advanced cycle marine gas turbine alternator sets in an Integrated Electric Propulsion (IEP) system, which includes the wide scale electrification of auxiliary systems. In 2000 the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) placed a contract on Turbomeca Limited, France, for the development of a 1.8MW advanced cycle gas turbine driving a high speed alternator, providing 800V dc output. The basic details of this 1.8MW Gas Turbine Alternator (GTA), known as the ACL GTA, have been provided at papers presented at ASME 2001 and 2002. This paper will briefly reiterate the basic engine design including the recuperator, and provide details of the recently selected directly coupled High Speed Alternator (HSA). Progress with the overall programme and meeting project aims will be reviewed. Issues surrounding the power output, self sustainability and power system stability when operating in parallel with large GTAs will be discussed. Reference will be made to the GTA’s ability to compete in a highly competitive market dominated by diesel driven alternators.

Russian Education

The article notes that education for sustainable development (ESD) is not only a prerequisite for the achievement of sustainable development (SD), but it means a priority. Move to SD actually begins with the formation of ESD, which has become like one of the key instruments for achieving the Millennium Development Goals, and the new 17-ti global sustainable development goals, which were adopted at the summit on sustainable development to establish itself in the area of sustainable development until 2030 Agenda. Thus, the ESD as a global process should precede the formation of a sustainable future in its «full format». This temporal feature ESD Russian scientists was recognized not only as a further greening of education, but also its futurization, ie a shift in focus on the study and modeling of the future. Leading mechanism futurization education consists of education inclusion in future issues, as well as much more rapid (in comparison with other types of human material activity) development. While primarily an ecological vision of the forms and directions of education, which has not been given a sufficiently clear vector of development at the official level. Therefore, the challenge is to create an enhanced total system and the concept of ESD and to identify optimum ways and forms of development.The process of transition of the Russian education highway «global sustainability» has already begun, but not yet acquired a wide scale. In the country it is important to take unconventional decisions at the state level, which will have to target the Russian system of education in the new global goals of transition on the path of SD.

Industrial Needs

The demand for need of groundwater goes with descending powers, when compared with the available natural resources to meet the expectations of Agricultural, Municipal and Industrial needs. Consequently, groundwater is being withdrawn from storage and water levels are declining resulting in crop failures, seawater intrusion in coastal aquifers, land subsidence etc. This urges the need of artificial recharge of groundwater by augmenting the natural infiltration of precipitation into subsurface formation by some suitable methods of recharge. This inturns expects the quantitative availability of groundwater in the area, at the earliest, to follow suitable recharge methods. This rapid determination is found possible only when Remote Sensing and GIS approaches are applied in addition to conventional methods, where time frame is lagging. In this study, Remote Sensing and GIS approaches were used to identify groundwater potential zones in Thirumullaivasal village of Nagapattinam district of Tamilnadu. Various thematic maps were prepared for the factors that influence groundwater such as rainfall, soil type, land use, slope and geology using satellite imageries, toposheets and data from Government and other organizations. Ranks and Weightages were assigned for different categories by devising criterion table and Cumulative Suitability Index (CSI) values were found out using Multi-criterion analysis of the prepared thematic maps through GIS. Based on CSI values, the area was prioritized into different groundwater potential zones for future investigation.

The Marine Spill Response Corporation (MSRC) was established to provide catastrophic spill response capabilities to its client companies as required by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90). The MSRC fleet consists of 16 oil spill response vessels (OSRVs), 16 boom support boats, 17 oil barges, and numerous small craft totaling 273 vessels, 185 of which are U.S. Coast Guard certificated. This paper provides an overview of these vessels, their capabilities, and their roles in oil spill response. Particular emphasis is placed on the design, acquisition, and operation of the 200 ft oceangoing OSRVs and the technical issues which had to be resolved in the extremely short time frame mandated by the OPA 90. The authors also discuss some of the problems encountered in assembling this fleet and the lessons learned.

References to ‘bonus usus’ and other terms denoting ‘good custom’ are more common in a rural than an urban context from 1100 onwards. Much attention is devoted to oaths and oath swearers (sacramentales), who appear to have been mainly chosen by signori rather than by local communities, and their role in dispute settlement. Socially oath swearers appear to be members of the upper-middle stratum of village society, the same group that later supplied the consuls of the thirteenth-century rural commune. Collective memory appears to stretch back 40–70 years at which time-frame customs acquired sufficient antiquity to be considered immutable. The act of recalling customs in a public assembly (placitum) served to reinforce community identity and delineate the parameters of seigneurial intervention in local society (rights, privileges, dues). Discussion moves on to the inter-relationship between written and oral custom and the meaning of the term malus usus which together with its antonym bonus usus is seen as key to unlocking the content of political discourse in the countryside. The sense of malus usus is of novelty, lack of precedent, absence of consensus. Interestingly the author shows that what was once perceived as bonus usus could at a later date and in different circumstances be seen as malus usus.
