La pulvérisation agricole a attiré l’attention pendant des décennies dû à leur inefficacité d’application. En effet, la dérive des gouttes des produits phytosanitaires est un problème récurrent qu’il apparait de limiter. Les impacts de cette inefficacité sur l’économie, l’environnement et la santé humaine sont non négligeable. Les facteurs principaux influençant le phénomène de dérive sont les tailles et les vitesses des gouttes pulvérisées. Pour accompagner les industriels dans le développement et la conformité des produits de pulvérisation, Redebel – RRA (Redebel Regularity Affairs), en collaboration avec le laboratoire Digital Energy & Agricultural Lab, souhaite mettre en place un banc d’essai autonome fonctionnant avec la technique de l’ombroscopie. Le banc d’essai est conçu et contient principalement un système de déplacement, un système d’automate et un système d’acquisition d’image. Les ombres des gouttes sont photographiées. Un algorithme en langage Python est proposé pour l’analyse des images afin de déterminer la population des tailles et des vitesses des gouttes du produit pulvérisé. Les résultats avec de l’eau de ville montrent une augmentation des gouttes fines avec la pression. Ils mettent en évidence également l’importance de la configuration des paramètres comme le niveau de zoom ou la fréquence d’acquisition pour obtenir une évaluation complète et rigoureuse sur la granulométrie des sprays agricoles Agricultural spray has attracted attention for decades due to their inefficiency of application. Indeed, the drift of the drops of phytosanitary products is a recurrent problem that it appears to limit. The impacts of this inefficiency on the economy, the environment and human health are not negligible. The main factors influencing the phenomenon of drift are the size and velocity of the sprayed drops. In order to support the industries in the development and the conformity of the spraying products, Redebel - RRA (Redebel Regularity Affairs), in collaboration with the Digital Energy & Agricultural Lab, would to set up an autonomous test bench functioning with the ombroscopy technology. The test bench is designed and contains mainly a displacement system, a PLC system and an image acquisition system. The shadows of the drops are photographed. An algorithm in Python language is proposed to analyze images to identify the population of drop sizes and velocities of the sprayed product. The results with tap water show an increase of small drops with pressure. They also highlight the importance of the configuration of parameters such as the zoom level or the acquisition frequency to obtain a complete and rigorous evaluation of the granulometry of agricultural sprays.

Les sédiments de lacs de cratère sont des archives paléoclimatiques, contenant des traceurs de l'altération des roches et sols voisins qui peuvent fournir des informations sur les variations des précipitations des derniers milliers d'années. Au Mexique central, les pluies sont influencées par divers phénomènes atmosphériques, pas encore complètement compris aujourd'hui, et qui vont pourtant être modifiés par les changements climatiques et avoir un effet météorologique important à divers endroits de la planète. Deux carottes courtes de sédiments de lacs de cratère du Mexique central ont été prélevées et analysées par différentes méthodes sédimentologiques, géochimiques et minéralogiques afin de trouver des traceurs d'altération: susceptibilité magnétique, SCOPIX, XRF Core Scanner, pertes au feu, rapport C/N, granulométrie laser, XRF discrète et DRX. Dans le Lac Los Espinos, différents traceurs semblent indiquer deux périodes marquées par une pluviosité plus élevée, entre 10 et 15 cm et entre 33 et 37 cm de profondeur, ainsi qu'une période de pluviosité plus faible, entre 15 et 30 cm. Des profondeurs précises de changement de pluviosité n'ont pas pu être identifiées dans les sédiments du Lac Tacámbaro mais les traceurs géochimiques pourraient montrer des successions rapides de pluviosité plus forte et plus faible jusqu'à 56 cm, où les variations diminuent. Ces hypothèses pourront être confirmées ou infirmées à l'aide de données météorologiques des stations voisines et des données de datation en cours de traitement, si leur résolution temporelle le permet. Les traceurs d'altération avérés pourraient alors être utilisés pour étudier les changements climatiques passés avec de plus longues carottes. Crater lake sediments are paleoclimatic archives, containing proxies of the weathering of nearby rocks and soils that can provide information about changes in precipitation during the last thousands of years. In Central Mexico, rainfall is influenced by various atmospheric phenomena which are not yet fully understood, but which will be affected by climate change and have meteorological impacts on many locations around the globe. Two short cores of sediments from Central Mexican crater lakes were collected and analysed by different sedimentological, geochemical and mineralogical methods, looking for weathering proxies: magnetic susceptibility, SCOPIX, XRF Core Scanner, loss on ignition, C/N ratio, laser granulometry, discrete XRF and DRX. In Lake Los Espinos, geochemical proxies linked to the detritic elements appear to point to two periods, between 10 and 15 cm and between 33 and 37 cm, where precipitation was higher, and to another, between 15 and 30 cm, where it was lower. Although it has not been possible to identify precise depths providing evidence of precipitation change in Lake Tacámbaro sediments, geochemical proxies may show rapid successions of higher and lower precipitation up to 56 cm, where the pace of variations declines. It will be possible to confirm or disprove these assumptions based both on the dating data currently being processed (their temporal resolution allowing) and on meteorological data from the neighbouring stations. Proven weathering proxies could then be used to study past climate changes on longer cores. Los sedimentos de los lagos cratéricos representan un archivo paleoclimático rico en trazadores de la meteorización de rocas y suelos locales que pueden dar información sobre las variaciones en las precipitaciones de los últimos miles de años. En el centro de México, las lluvias están influenciadas por diversos fenómenos atmosféricos, aún no completamente entendidos hoy, pero que sin embargo serán modificados por el cambio climático y tendrán un efecto meteorológico significativo en muchas zonas del planeta. Efectuamos nuestros análisis sobre dos núcleos de sedimentos extraídos de lagos cratéricos en el centro de México, utilizando diferentes métodos sedimentológicos, geoquímicos y mineralógicos para encontrar trazadores de meteorización: susceptibilidad magnética, SCOPIX, XRF Core Scanner, pérdidas por ignición, relación C/N, granulometría láser, XRF discreto y DRX. En el Lago Los Espinos, los trazadores geoquímicos vinculados a elementos detríticos parecen indicar dos períodos con mayor precipitación entre 10 y 15 cm y entre 33 y 37 cm y otro, con menor precipitación, entre 15 y 30 cm. No se pudieron identificar profundidades precisas de cambio de lluvia en los sedimentos del Lago Tacámbaro, aunque los trazadores geoquímicos muestran sucesiones rápidas de precipitaciones más altas y más bajas hasta 56 cm, donde las variaciones disminuyen. Estas hipótesis se podrán confirmar o invalidar con los datos de datación que se está procesando, si su resolución temporal lo permita, así como los datos meteorológicos de las estaciones vecinas. Los trazadores de meteorización comprobados podrían pues utilizarse para estudiar cambios climáticos pasados con núcleos más largos.

Beer is a beverage with more than 8000 years of history, and the process of brewing has not changed much over the centuries. However, important technical advances have allowed us to produce beer in a more sophisticated and efficient way. The proliferation of specialty hop varieties has been behind the popularity of craft beers seen in the past few years around the world. Craft brewers interpret historic beer with unique styles. Craft beers are undergoing an unprecedented period of growth, and more than 150 beer styles are currently recognized. This Special Issue, Brewing and Craft Beer, comprises nine different works by researchers from five continents (North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Oceania). This Special Issue reflects thus a broad perspective on the most important questions that concern the researchers in different parts of the world.

The principal aim of this book is to provide a wide range of information and a useful reference for researchers interested to investigate heavy mineral assemblages in different geological settings and for a variety of purposes. The methodological developments achieved in recent years for the identification of heavy minerals in a wide grain-size range are illustrated. All factors that affect heavy mineral concentration and relative proportions, including hydraulic sorting, mechanical abrasion, chemical weathering, and post-depositional dissolution, and all factors able to introduce analytical, environmental, or diagenetic bias are thoroughly addressed. A proper integration of multiple techniques including bulk sediment, multi-mineral, and single-mineral methods are discussed by renowned authors in their invited contributions.
