Des vestiges liés à la phase de construction de l’aqueduc de la Brévenne à Limonest (Métropole de Lyon) ? by Stéphane Ardouin, Cécile André-Chaze

“…Two straight ditches were revealed, running perpendicular to the trunk of the aqueduct pipe and on both sides of a slight bend formed by the pipeline.Observed over a distance of 16 m (in the case of the longest ditch), but probably longer in all, these ditches have a U-shaped profile with a flat bottom and vertical sides, measuring approximately 37 cm in width. …”

Predictive modeling and optimization of noise emissions in a palm oil methyl ester-fueled diesel engine using response surface methodology and artificial neural network integrated... by J.M. Zikri, M.S.M. Sani, M.F.F.A. Rashid, J. Muriban, G.S. Prayogo

“…This research examines the predictive performance of two modeling techniques—Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and an Artificial Neural Network enhanced by a Genetic Algorithm (ANN-GA)—in relation to noise emission levels from a single-cylinder diesel engine running on palm oil methyl ester (POME). By employing different engine speeds and loads within the low to high range, noise emissions were recorded from multiple engine components to evaluate the performance of each predictive model. …”
