Rapport de mission à Mulhouse pour le projet CFC/ICAC/33. Activité D.2.2 analyse de la variabilité intra-balle des caractéristiques technologiques des fibres de coton. Du 15 au 18 décembre 2009

After four weeks of data analysis in Montpellier, Modeste ABOE presented his summary of the first year experiments in front of a scientific committee of the Doctorate School in Mulhouse. The work of Modeste ABOE was very much appreciated by all members of this committee as stated in the attached report. As a summary: - Five countries (West Africa) were sampled in place of eight (in addition to Central Africa) due to the early end of the 2008-2009 season; - 8900 samples were tested in RTC West along with 1300 reference materials; - After being trained to statistical analysis, Modeste ABOE explored his gathered data with the support of Eric GOZE; - All objectives set to Modeste ABOE were achieved; - As a consequence, sampling will be continued in 2010 with some slight modifications in the experiments (see slides in annex 1) - The overall output of the PhD, which was to propose one set of operating methods for a proper fiber characterization during fiber classification, becomes a proper evaluation of the within-bale variability (additionally between bales) of the fiber characteristics which could lead to a proposition of a set of operating methods for eight countries (West and Central Africa) if achievable. - The committee encouraged Modeste ABOE to include a specific chapter about the economical impact of using an instrument classification in cotton trading in his PhD document.
