In Feerie pour une autre fois II (also titled Normance), Celine recounts the chaos engendered by the Allied bombing of Paris in April 1944, which killed 1,800 people in seven days. The novel, published in 1954, was a commercial flop. Among the reasons could be a narration that almost completely disappeared, or a traditional chronology that literally imploded. The writing seems subject to delirium and presents a body in direct contact with the surrounding destructions. This article underlines the difficulty for the storyteller to render such a catastrophe. Since Celine notes that the newly-born cinema and its technique overthrew the novel, this work argues that for Celine, the novelistic writing has no choice but to evolve and beat cinema on its own ground. Celine presents himself first as the impressionist of writing. Then, adding the soundtrack to the light and movement, he finally becomes the true cinematographer of literature.

As he explains in his concept of "rooting" that he himself created, he did not get established anywhere else, as did many Haitian refugees, he kept on moving. His wandering took him especially to France and the United States. Many thought that Charles then became uprooted. Yet we will show that it is precisely in his wandering that Charles managed to find new roots, to "take root." Metaphorically and by writing, he established a bridge between the two continents.

From one novel to another, it is always particular, surprising, even confusing. With Bamboola Bamboche, published in 1984, it reaches its peak. The narrative follows one intoxicated night in the narrator's life, from midnight to seven in the morning. As a journalist, he investigates the disappearance of an exiled Haitian writer who is probably dead. He also recounts his love for Gina, a young woman involved in planning a revolution. The whole plot seems to take place in a bar, the Bamboola Bamboche, on an unnamed Caribbean island, but the narrative...

Céline a déjà trente-huit ans lorsque paraît Voyage au bout de la nuit, comme s'il avait dû prendre du recul avant de publier un roman en mesure de retranscrire toute l'horreur de la Grande Guerre. Vis-à-vis des innombrables mémoires ou souvenirs d'anciens combattants publiés au cours des années 20, Voyage au bout de la nuit bouleverse radicalement les lois du genre du roman de guerre. Il n'expose notamment ni les prémices, ni la fin du conflit, comme si celui-ci ne se terminait jamais vraiment pour le héros. Et dès le début, la guerre est déjà là. Elle se présente ainsi, puis s'éclipse de manière tout aussi surprenante dans le récit : « On est retournés chacun dans la guerre. Et puis il s'est passé des choses et encore des choses, qu'il est pas facile de raconter à présent, à cause que ceux d'aujourd'hui ne les comprendraient déjà plus » (Voyage 47). Entre les deux, c'est la narration du quotidien du soldat à la guerre qui s'étend sur quatre chapitres dans des descriptions crues et tragiques à la fois.
Céline décrit l'irréalité de l'arrière du point de vue d'un soldat comme revenu d'outre-tombe , revenu du « monde à l'envers » (Voyage 64). Ce faisant, il nous met souvent face à une forme d'ambivalence. Celle de la maladie d'abord : l'homme en bonne santé est un malade en sursis. Et celle de la guerre également, qui n'est jamais pour lui que la globalisation d'un rite sacrificiel millénaire. Alors son corolaire, la paix, n'est qu'une guerre civile « en suspens » qui ne conduira Bardamu qu'à y retrouver les symptômes morbides de la guerre, que ce soit dans la brousse coloniale ou dans la misère urbaine de New-York.
Dans un article consacré au Journal d'un homme de quarante ans , Jean Giono forge l'expression « la génération des hommes au sang noir » pour désigner ces « survivants de la guerre de 14 qui ne se remettent pas d'avoir vu inutilement mourir tant de leurs camarades » .
Nous proposons de voir l'impact de la première guerre mondiale sur Céline à travers Bardamu. Que ce soit le Bardamu soldat marqué par le sang dans les atroces scènes de guerre d'abord, où l'homme est littéralement mis en pièce sur le champ de bataille vu comme une boucherie, un abattoir ou le Bardamu revenu du front, rescapé mais pas indemne, pour qui la moindre évocation du sang ravive à sa mémoire les scènes traumatiques . Cette description ultra-réaliste et sanglante de la guerre illustre la vision que Céline a de la vie, où l'instinct de mort de l'humain est exacerbé par ce contexte particulier.

Cet article présente un objet peu discuté et pourtant omniprésent dans Voyage au bout de la nuit de Louis-Ferdinand Céline. Le personnage central, Bardamu, est sans cesse confronté au sang, que ce soit lors de l'épisode de la guerre ou lorsqu'il se retrouve médecin de quartier au chevet de femmes saignant tragiquement. Ces occurrences nous intéressent particulièrement puisqu'elles nous permettent de montrer que le sang qui coule du sexe féminin, qu'il s'agisse de simples pertes, d'un avortement, ou même d'un accouchement, est toujours pour Céline vecteur de mort, et reflète la vision, que l'on définira thanatophile, de l'auteur pour l'existence.

In this article, we show an original point of view to describe the used method, the thermal waves, to obtain the thermal impedance of the studied system, using a specific sensor – a fluxmeter. The identification technique, based on a frequential approach, is optimized by applying a random input to the system. This kind of random heating is shown to provide a frequency range where the thermal effusivity is able to be identified and not correlated to another parameter. The strength of the method is also the determination of the contact resistance of the system, that allows to validate the identification process. Experimental results obtained from a sample with well-known thermal properties (polyvinyl chloride) are used to validate the proposed method.

Data are treated in the frequency domain. A new approach is developed for estimating the thermal impedance based on the formalism of non-integer order models. An experimental setup consisting of a heat flux and temperature sensor arranged in contact with a material assuming a semi-infinite boundary condition is studied. The theoretical expression for such a thermal impedance takes into account the thermal capacity of the sensor and the contact resistance and emphasizes fractional orders in the behavior model.

Geothermal energy is the energy stored in the form of heat beneath the surface of the Earth. Related to this, the thermal properties of soils are of great importance, particularly with regard to the modern trends of utilizing the subsurface for transmission of either heated fluids or high power currents. For example, in geothermal hydrology or geotechnical engineering applications, the thermal conductivity must be determined to assess the energy potential of the soil. The presence of water (groundwater, rainfall, natural moisture) improves both the thermal conductivity and thermal capacity fields. We present an original method—based on a thermal study and the use of non-integer order models—to determine the thermophysical parameters of different soils in near-surface layers, and link them to the water content variations of different soils. The results are compared with those obtained using a capacitive profile probe.

In moving towards improving existing buildings, the study of the thermal behaviour of a wall is not easy because its actual thermophysical properties are not well-known. These parameters are nevertheless fundamental for the economic optimisation of building refurbishment or for the verification of their performance in situ. It is thus important to be able to characterize existing building walls.

The objective of our study was to develop a method to thermally characterize a wall adapted to in situ applications based on an active approach. The principle of identification consists of thermally examining an access surface by applying a heat flux and studying the response in terms of the temperature recorded by infrared thermography on the opposite surface. Based on signals of flux and of temperatures measured at the edges of the wall, the thermophysical properties (thermal conductivity and volumetric heat) of the wall are estimated by inverse method.

The method was applied first to a homogeneous gypsum-tile panel in laboratory. The results were compared to reference values obtained from a classical procedure. Then, the method has been implemented in situ on a homogeneous reinforced concrete shell.

This article presents a light and easy to use method for simultaneous determination of thermal conductivity and volumetric heat capacity of a construction material without any control of boundary conditions. The material to be characterized is placed between two layers of materials with known thermophysical properties. Thermocouple probes are placed at the different interfaces and record the variations in temperature when the whole multilayer is subjected to stimulation. An inverse method based on a numerical model allows us to simultaneously identify the unknown thermal properties. This method was tested respectively on samples of polyvinyl chloride, expanded polystyrene, plaster and concrete.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRPs) have been increasingly employed for structural strengthening, and are attached to structures using bonding adhesives. The aim of this work is to characterize defects in the bond between CFRP and concrete (after they are located by pulse infrared thermography), and assign the defects a "numerical value" (ranging from 0 for a complete air–gap to 1 for a fully glued bond). Quantitative characterization is performed by measuring the thermal impedance, and then identifying the thermophysical parameters of the system through fitting the measured impedance to a theoretical model. An inversion procedure is carried out to estimate the unknown parameters, without prior knowledge of sample properties. In particular, it is possible to estimate more accurately both the amount of glue within a defect and the thermal contact resistance.

A new ground heat exchanger (GHEX) assembled in a ground source heat pump (GSHP) system has been devised, which is equipped in a structural pile, and thus called an "energy pile". In this study, six large-diameter cast-in-place energy piles that encased various types of heat exchange pipes (i.e., three parallel U-types with 5 pairs, 8 pairs and 10 pairs; two coil-types with 200 mm coil pitch and 500 mm coil pitch; and S-type) were constructed in a test bed, and the constructability of each type of the energy pile was compared. Additionally, a 30 m-deep closed-loop vertical GHEX was separately constructed to compare the thermal performance and economic feasibility with the energy piles. A series of in-situ thermal response tests (TRTs) was performed to evaluate the relative heat exchange efficiency of each energy pile according to the various heat exchange pipe configurations. The relative heat exchange efficiency obtained in the cast-in-place energy piles and the down-sized 30 m-deep closed-loop vertical GHEX was normalized by the pile length (or borehole length) and the total heat exchange pipe length. The result from the in-situ tests indicates that the longer the heat exchange pipe installed, the higher heat exchange efficiency per pile length. However, in the case of tight layouts of the heat exchange pipe, thermal interference occurs between adjacent pipe loops, which decreases heat exchange efficiency. Economic feasibility of the energy piles was evaluated, considering the material and installation costs for assembling the heat exchange pipe with consideration of the heat exchange efficiency. It is concluded that the coil-type cast-in-place energy pile can achieve sufficient capacity for heat exchange, compared with the closed-loop vertical GHEX.

It is based on the creation of a cylindrical probe, fitted with peripheral flux and temperature sensors. These sensors record changes in thermal variables in the case of cylindrically symmetrical heat diffusion. A numerical exchange model integrated into an inversion algorithm identifies the thermal effusivity and diffusivity of the material being tested and the sensor/material contact resistance. In this first study, the method was applied to dry sand.

The study of thermal transfer in old massive walls provides a better understanding of their thermal behavior and to quantify the savings of energy following a possible thermal insulation. The specificity of these walls resides in the fact that their materials were manufactured in a period when the thermal standards were non-existent and therefore their thermal properties are not precisely known. This paper presents two experimental approaches for determining the thermal properties of masonry walls. In the first method, the materials composing the wall were characterized separately and then equivalent thermal resistance and thermal capacity were deduced; in the second one thermal transfer in an experimental wall was studied by imposing thermal conditions from one side of the wall through a heating box, the other side remaining exposed to ambient lab thermal conditions. The experimental wall is exposed to two different types of boundary conditions through a wooden insulated box which contains a radiator: the constant temperature (steady state mode) to determine the thermal resistances of the system and the sinusoidal temperature (harmonic mode) to determine the thermal capacity of the wall.

Volume 118, 1 January 2017, Pages 297-311

An energy pile equipped with a W-type heat exchange pipe was constructed in reclaimed soft ground, which is fabricated in a large-diameter cast-in-place pile. The diameter of the energy pile is 1.5 m and the drilled depth reaches to a 60 m whilst the heat exchange pipe is inserted to 30 m depth from the ground surface. To evaluate thermal performance of the constructed energy pile, a series of in-situ thermal performance tests was carried out by controlling intermittent cooling and heating loads, in which the inlet and outlet fluid temperatures, flow rate, and temperatures inside the energy pile were recorded. The test results show that a large-diameter cast-in-place energy pile can provide sufficient heat exchange compared with other types of ground heat exchangers. A series of CFD analyses was performed to simulate the thermal performance tests and provide the designer with preliminary estimation of thermal performance of energy piles. The numerical model was verified by comparing with the field measurements. Using the developed numerical model, the thermal behavior of the energy piles was evaluated with various parameters, and effects of the thermal interference and the temperature difference between the fluid and ground formation on the thermal performance were discussed

An autoclaved aerated concrete (ACC) panel was initially saturated and equipped with thermocouples placed at the boundaries and
through the thickness. The tested panel is placed between two test environments. The first environment reproduces inside building conditions, mean values are: temperature » 22°C and humidity » 35%. The second one reproduces summer outside conditions, mean values are: temperature » 26°C and humidity » 80%. 20 days thermocouples temperatures recorded were exploited numerically. The numerical
analysis is achieved thanks to a Matlab built algorithm. This allows moisture content monitoring through the panel by estimation. The numerical algorithm connects a difference finite numerical model -for heat transfer simulation- to a Levenberg Marquardt estimation algorithm. Before performing tests on the panel, prior tests were conducted on an ACC block. Prior tests are based on guarded hot plate and heat flow meter methods. This provides the thermophysical properties (thermal conductivity: l and volumetric heat capacity rC) evolution related to moisture content (w). Thus, thanks to the prior experimental work, empirical relationships between these different properties were defined: l(w) and rC(w). The last two relationships are incorporated in the numerical model to connect the parameters (l, rC, w) and thus solve heat transfer equation.
The obtained promising results are a crucial step before the next validation steps - performing other laboratory or in-situ tests applied on different materials - of the developed method.

The mathematical model describes the heat and moisture transfer through a wall of biobased materials. The studied wall is subjected to both convective heat transfer and moisture flux transfer with the surroundings. Moreover, a parametric study was performed to analyze the effect of varying the model's key parameters on the overall thermal performance of the wall. Consequently, an optimal proposal can be suggested to attain the main objective, which is
reducing energy consumption for winter heating and summer cooling

Thermocouple probes are placed at different positions in the thickness, and at the extremities of the multilayer, and record temperature variations during a test. A numerical heat transfer model associated with a parametric estimation algorithm allows layers' moisture contents identification. Results are obtained thanks to previous tests that provide empirical relationships between the thermophysical properties and the moisture content.

Le Lévitique affirme d'ailleurs le pouvoir contaminant, transmissible de l'impureté menstruelle. et c'est encore un sang souillé que les chrétiens font très vite disparaître de leurs rites. Le sang expulsé lors des menstrues ou des accouchements est communément considéré polluant. Kristeva dira même que "le sang menstruel [. . .] représente le danger venant de l'intérieur de l'identité (sociale ou sexuelle) ; il menace le rapport entre les sexes" (Kristeva 86).

His wandering took him especially to France and the United States. Many thought that Charles then became uprooted. Yet we will show that it is precisely in his wandering that Charles managed to find new roots, to "take root." Metaphorically and by writing, he established a bridge between the two continents.

Using the developed numerical model, the thermal behavior of the energy piles was evaluated with various parameters, and effects of the thermal interference and the temperature difference between the fluid and ground formation on the thermal performance were discussed.

The study of thermal transfer in old massive walls provides a better understanding of their thermal behavior and to quantify the savings of energy following a possible thermal insulation. The specificity of these walls resides in the fact that their materials were manufactured in a period when the thermal standards were non-existent and therefore their thermal properties are not precisely known. This paper presents two experimental approaches for determining the thermal properties of masonry walls. In the first method, the materials composing the wall were characterized separately and then equivalent thermal resistance and thermal capacity were deduced; in the second one thermal transfer in an experimental wall was studied by imposing thermal conditions from one side of the wall through a heating box, the other side remaining exposed to ambient lab thermal conditions. The experimental wall is exposed to two different types of boundary conditions through a wooden insulated box which contains a radiator: the constant temperature (steady state mode) to determine the thermal resistances of the system and the sinusoidal temperature (harmonic mode) to determine the thermal capacity of the wall.

ABSTRACT A new ground heat exchanger (GHEX) assembled in a ground source heat pump (GSHP) system ... more ABSTRACT A new ground heat exchanger (GHEX) assembled in a ground source heat pump (GSHP) system has been devised, which is equipped in a structural pile, and thus called an "energy pile". In this study, six large-diameter cast-in-place energy piles that encased various types of heat exchange pipes (i.e., three parallel U-types with 5 pairs, 8 pairs and 10 pairs; two coil-types with 200 mm coil pitch and 500 mm coil pitch; and S-type) were constructed in a test bed, and the constructability of each type of the energy pile was compared. Additionally, a 30 m-deep closed-loop vertical GHEX was separately constructed to compare the thermal performance and economic feasibility with the energy piles. A series of in-situ thermal response tests (TRTs) was performed to evaluate the relative heat exchange efficiency of each energy pile according to the various heat exchange pipe configurations. The relative heat exchange efficiency obtained in the cast-in-place energy piles and the down-sized 30 m-deep closed-loop vertical GHEX was normalized by the pile length (or borehole length) and the total heat exchange pipe length. The result from the in-situ tests indicates that the longer the heat exchange pipe installed, the higher heat exchange efficiency per pile length. However, in the case of tight layouts of the heat exchange pipe, thermal interference occurs between adjacent pipe loops, which decreases heat exchange efficiency. Economic feasibility of the energy piles was evaluated, considering the material and installation costs for assembling the heat exchange pipe with consideration of the heat exchange efficiency. It is concluded that the coil-type cast-in-place energy pile can achieve sufficient capacity for heat exchange, compared with the closed-loop vertical GHEX.

In moving towards improving existing buildings, the study of the thermal behaviour of a wall is not easy because its actual thermophysical properties are not well-known. These parameters are nevertheless fundamental for the economic optimisation of building refurbishment or for the verification of their performance in situ. It is thus important to be able to characterize existing building walls. The objective of our study was to develop a method to thermally characterize a wall adapted to in situ applications based on an active approach. The principle of identification consists of thermally examining an access surface by applying a heat flux and studying the response in terms of the temperature recorded by infrared thermography on the opposite surface. Based on signals of flux and of temperatures measured at the edges of the wall, the thermophysical properties (thermal conductivity and volumetric heat) of the wall are estimated by inverse method. The method was applied first to a homogeneous gypsum-tile panel in laboratory. The results were compared to reference values obtained from a classical procedure. Then, the method has been implemented in situ on a homogeneous reinforced concrete shell.
