En partant des liens entre la structure rythmique de la musique et de la poésie néerlandaise, cette dissertation recherche l'avantage d'une formation musicale et/ou de la connaissance des langues pour percevoir les mêmes phénomènes prosodiques dans les deux domaines. Pour cela, 73 participants musiciens et/ou apprenants du néerlandais ont écouté des extraits de musique et de poésie et noté pour chacun des extraits leur perception de la pulsation, de proéminence et de la mesure. Uitgaande van de overeenkomsten tussen de ritmische structuur in muziek en Nederlandse poëzie, zoekt deze scriptie naar het voordeel van een muzikale opleiding en/of van de kennis van talen bij de perceptie van dezelfde prosodische fenomenen in de twee domeinen. Daarvoor hebben 73 deelnemers (muzikanten en/of leerders van het Nederlands) naar muziek- en poëziefragmenten geluisterd en hun perceptie van de puls, prominentie en maat aangegeven. Starting from the links between the rhythmic structure in music and in Dutch poetry, this paper investigates whether music training and/or language knowledge can help with the perception of the same prosodic phenomena in both areas. To do so, 73 musicians and/or Dutch learners listened to music and poetry extracts and noted their perception of the beat, the prominence and the meter.

The rising trend in the global energy demand poses new challenges to humankind. The energy and mechanical engineering sectors are called to develop new and more environmentally friendly solutions to harvest residual energy from primary production processes. The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is an emerging energy system for power production and waste heat recovery. In the near future, this technology can play an increasing role within the energy generation sectors and can help achieve the carbon footprint reduction targets of many industrial processes and human activities. This Special Issue focuses on selected research and application cases of ORC-based waste heat recovery solutions. Topics included in this publication cover the following aspects: performance modeling and optimization of ORC systems based on pure and zeotropic mixture working fluids; applications of waste heat recovery via ORC to gas turbines and reciprocating engines; optimal sizing and operation of ORC under combined heat and power and district heating application; the potential of ORC on board ships and related issues; life cycle analysis for biomass application; ORC integration with supercritical CO2 cycle; and the proper design of the main ORC components, including fluid dynamics issues. The current state of the art is considered and some cutting-edge ORC technology research activities are examined in this book.

Semiconductor lasers are key components in many optical systems due to their advantages, including their small size, low cost, high efficiency, and low power consumption. It is well-known that semiconductor lasers under external perturbations, such as optical injection, optical feedback, or delayed coupling can exhibit a large variety of complex dynamical behaviors. Nowadays, cutting-edge engineering applications based on the complex dynamics of diode lasers are being conducted in areas, such as optical communications, optical signal processing, encoded communications, neuro-inspired ultra-fast optical computing devices, microwave signal generation, RADAR and LIDAR applications, biomedical imaging, and broadband spectroscopy. The prospects for these applications are even more exciting with the advent of photonic integrated circuits. This Special Issue focuses on theoretical and experimental advances in the nonlinear dynamics of semiconductor lasers subject to different types of external perturbations.
