Reference excerpt

The Journées Information Eaux (JIE) (in English: Waters Information Days) are a series of conferences about water from famous scientists. It is located at the ENSIP in Poitiers (France) and organized by the Apten and LCME (IC2MP).

Description The first JIE started in 1974, and are now a biannual event There are almost 400 participants and eighty conferences which are presented in three rooms. The JIE 2012 was the 20th edition and took place from 25 to 27 September. It was originally created by the University of Poitiers, the before the foundation of the ENSi Poitiers. The organisers are the Apten (Professional association of water treatment and pollution, in French), an alumnus of the graduates of the school from the TEN section, and the LCME (Laboratory of Chemistry and Microbiology of Water, in French), a laboratory which is part of IC2MP, a CNRS-University of Poitiers laboratory. Three French ministers came at the JIE in 1992 and 1996: Hubert Curien, Ségolène Royal, Jean-Pierre Raffarin.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Journées Information Eaux

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Journées Information Eaux claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Journées Information Eaux before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Journées Information Eaux ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Journées Information Eaux

In research: Journées Information Eaux appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Journées Information Eaux in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Journées Information Eaux is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1974 establishments in France, Poitiers, Recurring events established in 1974, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Journées Information Eaux outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
