The present study focuses on two aspects of heavy metals and radionuclide fluxes to lake Annecy: a long term. secular evolution by analysing dated sediment cores, and a short term, seasonal evolution through the analysis of settling particles collected by sediment traps. Compared to background values prior to 1900, sediment cores reveal a two-fold (Cd, Cu, Zn) to a four-fold (Pb) increase in heavy metal concentration after the 40s, and a smaller decrease after the 70s except for Cu, which does not decrease. Sediment traps moored from April 1998 to November 2000 record strong variations of particles (range: 0.5 - 6.1 g m(-2) d(-1)), organic matter (range 0.03 - 0.27 g m(-2) d(-1)) and carbonate fluxes (range: 0.2 - 4.9 g m(-2) d(-1)). The maximum fluxes are observed at the end of spring and summer, related to increased phytoplankton production. Mean annual heavy metal fluxes (0.014 mug.cm(-2).y(-1) for Cd, 1 mug.cm(-2). y(-1) for Ph and Cu and 2.8 mug.cm(-2).y(-1) for Zn) are lower than those recorded in the surface layers of the sediment cores. No relation has been observed between fluxes of heavy metal and of particles. Comparison of heavy metal fluxes in Lake Annecy with two other peri-alpine lakes show that this lake receive more Cu and Ph of anthropogenic origin, in spite of the sewage collector built around the lake.

This paper refers to the characterization of plane masonry behaviour under the assumption of plane stress. Masonry may be seen as a two-phase (bricks and mortar) periodic anisotropic material with complex macroscopic behaviour due to the possible occurrence of cracking in each of the phases. Non-linear constitutive equations have thus to be used in order to realistically represent masonry structures. Most existing macroscopic models defined for such materials are by essence phenomenological. This leads to weakly motivated frameworks and rather complex models, especially if one wants to account for material symmetry evolution due to cracking. The aim of this paper is to identify a simple set of damage mechanics variables for the constituents that could be used in homogenization procedures to infer the overall behaviour of the material from its mesostructural features (geometrical arrangement and mechanical properties of the constituents). Based on unit cell computations, it is shown that scalar damage mesomodels allow to obtain realistic damage patterns encountered in experiments. Results suggest that at the meso-scale, it is possible to use a scalar damage model for the individual phases which naturally leads to the desired anisotropy evolution into the macroscopic descriptions. This macroscopic anisotropy evolution is illustrated using a numerical homogenization procedure to identify the degraded stiffness associated to damage patterns. The influence of variations in the constituent characteristics is also correctly captured as illustrated for some of the loading schemes.

The temperature dependence of the relaxation rates in YbCl 3 .6H 2 O up to 45 K can be explained by the Raman pro cess if phonon dispersion is considered. The analysis of the measured Mossbauer spectra has been performed by means of the field up-down model. It is pointed out that there are found "dispersionlike" terms in the spectra in addition to the usual Lorentzians.

It is shown, that the description of the time development of the magnetic moment of superparamagnetic particles in terms of the dis crete orientations model is the main reason of the distinction between the theoretical and experimental spectra. The model of the time development of magnetic moment which takes into account the jumps from one easy direction to another as weIl as the precession at the time between the jumps, gives a reasonable explanation for the broadening and the asymmetry of the experimental lines.

Mossbauer measurements have been done for 2% 57 Fe at A site in NiCr 2 O 4 . Spectra in a finite temperature range around the distortion temperature have shown that the transition has the characteristics of the first order one, and that cubic regions and tetragonal regions coexist with strong interactions between them. From an anomalous spectrum at 4.2 K a plausible spin configuration for Fe 2+ spins has been proposed.

Silicon Carbide has been grown by rapid thermal carbonization of (100) and (111) Si surfaces at atmospheric pressure using 1 lpm hydrogen (H 2 ) as a carrier gas and propane (C 3 H 8 ) with concentrations ranging from 0.025-1.5%. RHEED investigations have shown single crystalline SiC as well as additional phases depending on the propane concentration. A set of kinetic phase diagrams were determined. The chemical nature was examined by AES. At concentrations below 0.1% additional silicon and an increasing number of defects were found. The growth on (100) substrates has shown a change in orientation toward (111). Above 0.6% a carbon rich polycrystalline layer covering completely the surface was formed. The carbon has both graphitic and carbidic nature. The graphitic content could be decreased by post deposition H 2 annealing without changing the polycrystalline nature of this top layer. Best crystallinity were found at 1250 °C, 0.15% propane and 30-90 s.

TiN has been used in numerous technological applications including: cutting or milling tools and inserts, cold extrusion nozzles and punches, forming or stamping tools, and diffusion barrier. It is currently deposited from an initial gas mixture composed of hydrogen, ammonia and titanium tetrachloride. This paper reports on the optimization of its deposition conditions at atmospheric pressure. A complete factorial design with three factors and two levels, thus requiring 2 3 =8 experiments, has been carried out. The following parameters were selected: the deposition temperature, the molar fraction of titanium tetrachloride and the molar fraction of ammonia. The influence of these factors on the deposition rate, the grain size estimated by the Scherrer method and the texture coefficient as determined by X-ray diffraction were studied. The mechanical properties of the coatings (microhardness, Young's modulus) were measured by depth-sensing indentation.

The kinetics of CVD of boron nitride from a gas mixture of 1,3,5-tri(N-methyl)borazine (TMB), ammonia, and hydrogen were studied at 900 to 1050°C and a total pressure of 1 bar. TMB, a liquid between -3 and 136°C, is assumed to be a single source precursor for CVD of BN. However, to suppress gas phase nucleation, one has to add sufficiently large amounts of ammonia. Below 900°C no deposition was observed within 10 hours. Between 900 and 980°C the deposition rate was controlled by a surface reaction with an apparent activation energy of 145 kJ mol -1 . The reaction was found to be first-order with respect to TMB and zero-order in both NH 3 and H 2 . Above 1000°C the activation energy decreased to 26 kJmol -1 which corresponds to gas diffusion as the rate-determining step. Gas phase nucleation makes it difficult to produce smooth films above 1000°C. The reaction product was turbostratic hexagonal boron nitride with about 52 at.-% nitrogen, 46 at.-% boron, and 1-2 at.-% codeposited carbon.
