Abstract

"More than 2 decades have passed since the 1990-1991 conflict in the Persian Gulf. During the intervening years, many Gulf War veterans have experienced various unexplained symptoms that many associate with service in the Gulf region, but no specific exposure has been definitively associated with symptoms. Numerous researchers have described the pattern of signs and symptoms found in deployed Gulf War veterans and noted that they report unexplained symptoms at higher rates than nondeployed veterans or veterans deployed elsewhere during the same period. Gulf War veterans have consistently shown a higher level of morbidity than the nondeployed, in some cases with severe and debilitating consequences. However, efforts to define a unique illness or syndrome in Gulf War veterans have failed, as have attempts to develop a uniformly accepted case definition. Chronic Multisymptom Illness in Gulf War Veterans is a comprehensive review of the available scientific and medical literature regarding symptoms for chronic multisymptom illness (CMI) among the 1991 Gulf War Veterans. This report evaluates and summarizes the literature in an effort to identify appropriate terminology to use in referring to CMI in Gulf War Veterans. While the report does not recommend one specific case definition over another, Chronic Multisymptom Illness in Gulf War Veterans does recommend the consideration of two case definitions on the basis of their concordance with the evidence and their ability to identify specific symptoms commonly reported by Gulf War veterans. This report recommends that the Department of Veterans Affairs use the term Gulf War illness rather than CMI. The report recommends that that the Department of Veterans Affairs, to the extent possible, systematically assess existing data to identify additional features of Gulf War illness, such as onset, duration, severity, frequency of symptoms, and exclusionary criteria to produce a more robust case definition" -- Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Ce travail de fin d’études consistait premièrement à étudier les solutions existantes de réparations des matériaux composites suite à un endommagement, puis à adapter ces solutions au cas des panneaux de blindage composite d’une tourelle, après impact par des munitions FSP 20 mm.&#13;Deuxièmement, les méthodes de réparations trouvées sur base de l’état de l’art ont été adaptées au cas des panneaux de blindages, et ensuite mises en œuvre. Leur mise en œuvre était précédée par l’étape de fabrication des panneaux de blindage via le procédé d’infusion sous vide, suivi par un premier impact des panneaux. Enfin, un test de performances a été réalisé sur ces panneaux afin d’évaluer leur résistance face à l’impact. A l’aide du critère de performance appelé V_50, définit par la norme STANAG 4569 de l’OTAN sur l’ensemble des protections balistiques utilisées dans le secteur de la défense, les performances des panneaux réparés ont pu être correctement évaluées.&#13;Les résultats obtenus étaient satisfaisants et ont permis de comparer également ce que valent les performances des composites face à celles des matériaux classiques tels que l’Acier et l’Aluminium utilisés couramment dans le secteur de la défense, du point de vue balistique.

Abstract

Mergers and acquisitions-well conceived and properly executed-can deliver&#13;greater value than ever right now. (Rouse & Frame, 2009)&#13;This quote sum up the challenge that companies who want to growth rapidly&#13;have to face. Indeed, managing a Mergers and acquisition integration is a&#13;real challenge and only a few manage to reach their targets.&#13;In this thesis, the focus is on the post-acquisition process, commonly called&#13;integration process. CMI has performed many acquisitions through the last&#13;decade and it will not stop there. The number of acquisition increases each&#13;year.&#13;In the first part of the thesis a presentation of the state of the art is done and&#13;put in relation with the good practices to perform during an integration process.&#13;Next to that, an analysis of the new CMI methodology will be realized.&#13;Afterwards, a deep dive on the experiences gained from previous integration&#13;of CMI is performed.&#13;Finally, based on these previous section an analysis of the new methodology&#13;is made and a couple of recommendations is formulated to allow CMI to&#13;enhance its processes.
