Abstract: International audience; This paper evaluates the extent of climate variability in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region using time series structural change tests. The MENA region is highly susceptible to climate change, being one of the driest and most water-scarce regions in the world. The study aims to identify structural breaks in temperature and precipitation time series from 1901 to 2012. Specifically, a statistical analysis is performed based on a structural change model (Bai and Perron 1998, 2003a) for temperature and precipitation across 19 countries. The results indicate significant structural changes in temperature and precipitation patterns during the observation period, and suggest that climate variability has indeed begun to occur in all study area, with 1990 marking a turning point in terms of global warming. North African countries, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates experienced a large number of breaks in temperature variables between 1901 and 2012, while other countries experienced fewer breaks. With regards to the seasonal aspect of precipitation, the individual rainfall Seasonality Index results demonstrate strong seasonal variability of rainfall from one year to another. Results show that rainfall in MENA countries is irregular throughout the year and that it ranges from seasonal to extremely seasonal throughout the study period. These findings have important implications for water resources management, agriculture, human health, and ecosystems in the region.; Cet article évalue l'ampleur de la variabilité climatique dans la région du Moyen-Orient et de l'Afrique du Nord à l'aide de tests de changement structurel des séries temporelles. La région est très sensible au changement climatique, car elle est l'une des régions les plus sèches et les plus pauvres en eau du monde. L'étude vise à identifier les ruptures structurelles dans les séries chronologiques de températures et de précipitations de 1901 à 2012. Plus précisément, une analyse statistique est réalisée sur la base d'un modèle de changement structurel (Bai et Perron 1998, 2003a) pour les températures et les précipitations dans 19 pays. Les résultats indiquent des changements structurels significatifs dans les modèles de température et de précipitations au cours de la période d'observation, et suggèrent que la variabilité climatique a effectivement commencé à se produire dans toute la zone d'étude, l'année 1990 marquant un tournant en termes de réchauffement climatique. Les pays d'Afrique du Nord, le Qatar et les Émirats arabes unis ont connu un grand nombre de ruptures dans les variables de température entre 1901 et 2012, tandis que les autres pays ont connu moins de ruptures. En ce qui concerne l'aspect saisonnier des précipitations, les résultats de l'indice de saisonnalité des précipitations individuelles démontrent une forte variabilité saisonnière des précipitations d'une année à l'autre. Les résultats montrent que les précipitations dans les pays de la région sont irrégulières tout au long de l'année et qu'elles varient de saisonnières à extrêmement saisonnières tout au long de la période étudiée. Ces résultats ont des implications importantes pour la gestion des ressources en eau, l'agriculture, la santé humaine et les écosystèmes de la région.

Abstract: International audience; Photochemical aging of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the atmosphere is an important source of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). To evaluate the formation potential of SOA at an urban site in Lyon (France), an outdoor experiment using a Potential Aerosol Mass (PAM) oxidation flow reactor (OFR) was conducted throughout entire days during January-February 2017. Diurnal variation of SOA formations and their correlation with OH radical exposure (OHexp), ambient pollutants (VOCs and particulate matters, PM), Relative Humidity (RH), and temperature were explored in this study. Ambient urban air was exposed to high concentration of OH radicals with OHexp in range of (0.2–1.2)×1012 molecule/(cm3•sec), corresponding to several days to weeks of equivalent atmospheric photochemical aging. The results informed that urban air at Lyon has high potency to contribute to SOA, and these SOA productions were favored from OH radical photochemical oxidation rather than via ozonolysis. Maximum SOA formation (36 µg/m3) was obtained at OHexp of about 7.4 × 1011molecule/(cm3•sec), equivalent to approximately 5 days of atmospheric oxidation. The correlation between SOA formation and ambient environment conditions (RH & temperature, VOCs and PM) was observed. It was the first time to estimate SOA formation potential from ambient air over a long period in urban environment of Lyon.

5. Translation Teaching and Cognitive Linguistics

Abstract: This paper is mainly concerned with the implications of cognitive linguistics for translation teaching and pedagogy. It sets out to succinctly chart some presumed shortcomings of replacement-based pedagogical methods that have long been centred around linear mechanical substitution of linguistic signs and patterns. Replacement approach, the paper argues, falls short of reinforcing what it takes to be the conceptual competence. In this connection, we account for our main assumption that translation teaching should be based on a sound theoretical footing that takes the conceptual system and the frames, or other structuring entities, populating it on board. Experimentally focusing on the conceptual system, cognitive linguistics’ framework, we contend building on some relevant literature, provides a wide range of far reaching procedural models conductive to the innovation of translation pedagogy and practice. The examples investigated in the paper reveal that translation teaching may be more prolific if it is equally based on such models, which inform our understanding of textual lexico-semantic units in terms of their surface functioning as prompts serving for dynamically constructing semantic-conceptual equivalence.

Abstract: International audience; Absolute measurements of the rate coefficient of the title reaction are reported from 251 to 373 K using the laser-induced fluorescence–pulsed-laser photolysis technique, together with room-temperature relative rate determinations using a simulation chamber. These are the first reported values of this rate coefficient, which demonstrates a predominantly negative temperature dependence that is more pronounced than with other epoxides, suggesting that pre-reactive complexes contribute to the overall reactivity, and that these complexes are comparatively stable for OH + cyclohexene oxide, which may result from its bicyclic structure. This work provides new insights into the lesser-studied reactivity of the epoxide functionality.

Abstract: A series of hydroquinolines derivatives (2a-2c) have been achieved by a cyclocondensation reaction. The synthesis of 2-oxo −1,2-dihydroquinoline-4-carboxylic acid derivatives (3a-3c) has been carried out using alkylation reactions under phase transfer catalysis (PTC) conditions. The prepared products were characterized through spectroscopic NMR 1H and 13C, IR and single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. 2D and 3D Hirshfeld surfaces (for 3a and 3b) studies were realized to understand non-bonding intermolecular interactions in solid phase crystal packing of the compound. With the optimized structures, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energies and clouds were obtained and evaluated. Good agreement was found between the calculated results and experimental data. Furthermore, the molecular docking study is performed to investigate binding patterns of the synthesized molecules (3a and 3b) into 1M17 inhibitor using Auto-Dock Vina program. The antioxidant activity of compounds (3a-3c) has been evaluated using DPPH free radical scavenging, ferric reducing (FRAP) power and β-carotene kinetic blanching assays. Both DPPH and FRAP methods confirmed that 3b had the best antioxidant activity followed by 3c. On the other hand, β-carotene bleaching assay showed the high activity of the product 3a.

Abstract: From 1985 to 2016, the prevalence of underweight decreased, and that of obesity and severe obesity increased, in most regions, with significant variation in the magnitude of these changes across regions. We investigated how much change in mean body mass index (BMI) explains changes in the prevalence of underweight, obesity, and severe obesity in different regions using data from 2896 population-based studies with 187 million participants. Changes in the prevalence of underweight and total obesity, and to a lesser extent severe obesity, are largely driven by shifts in the distribution of BMI, with smaller contributions from changes in the shape of the distribution. In East and Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, the underweight tail of the BMI distribution was left behind as the distribution shifted. There is a need for policies that address all forms of malnutrition by making healthy foods accessible and affordable, while restricting unhealthy foods through fiscal and regulatory restrictions., Wellcome Trust, Medical Research Council, peer-reviewed

Abstract: In this work, detailed experimental and theoretical studies are performed on the optoelectronic properties of a Schiff base complex derived from a ninhydrin–glycine (NG) ligand with Al (III) metal. The good functionality and experimental results were confirmed by simulations. The complex shows absorption in the visible range and a blue emission. Furthermore, the charge transport investigation showed that Al–NG has good and balanced hole and electron mobilities equal to 8.44 $\times \,\,10^{-6}$ cm $^{2}\,\,\text{V}^{-1}\,\,\text{s}^{-1}$ and 7.10 $\times \,\,10^{-6}$ cm $^{2}\,\,\text{V}^{-1}\,\,\text{s}^{-1}$ , respectively. The favorable properties make Al–NG complex a promising candidate for the development of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) applications. Using these interesting characteristics, a numerical simulation is performed to have the predictive behavior of indium tin oxide (ITO)/Al–NG/Al OLED device. Finally, we present the effect of thickness and temperature on the OLED electric characteristics.

Abstract: Single crystals of a novel distrontium cobalt diborate, Sr2Co(BO3)2, were successfully obtained from the melt at 1200 °C of the polycrystalline material. The powder of Sr2Co(BO3)2 compound was synthesized using standard solid state reaction at 850 °C. The refinement of the structure shows that Sr2Co(BO3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic cell with the space group C2/m. The crystal structure is built from [CoO6] octahedra linked to [BO3] triangles by the vertices and to the SrO9 polyhedra by sharing two faces. The infrared analysis confirms the existence of BO3 vibrations group’s. The calculated gap energy is Egap = 3.5eV for indirect gap model and Egap = 3.75eV for direct gap one. The magnetic measurements show that antiferromagnetic interactions are predominant in the studied borate. The high temperature X-ray diffraction and the differential scanning calorimetry allow to observe two anomalies in the temperature range of 400–800 °C which correspond to the phase transitions of Sr2Co(BO3)2.

Abstract: Macroalgal forests are one of the most productive and valuable marine ecosystems, but yet strongly exposed to fragmentation and loss. Detailed large-scale information on their distribution is largely lacking, hindering conservation initiatives. In this study, a systematic effort to combine spatial data on Cystoseira C. Agardh canopies (Fucales, Phaeophyta) was carried out to develop a Habitat Suitability Model (HSM) at Mediterranean scale, providing critical tools to improve site prioritization for their management, restoration and protection. A georeferenced database on the occurrence of 20 Cystoseira species was produced collecting all the available information from published and grey literature, web data portals and co-authors personal data. Data were associated to 55 predictor variable layers in the (ASCII) raster format and were used in order to develop the HSM by means of a Random Forest, a very effective Machine Learning technique. Knowledge about the distribution of Cystoseira canopies was available for about the 14% of the Mediterranean coastline. Absence data were available only for the 2% of the basin. Despite these gaps, our HSM showed high accuracy levels in reproducing Cystoseira distribution so that the first continuous maps of the habitat across the entire basin was produced. Misclassification errors mainly occurred in the eastern and southern part of the basin, where large gaps of knowledge emerged. The most relevant drivers were the geomorphological ones, followed by anthropogenic variables proxies of pollution and urbanization. Our model shows the importance of data sharing to combine a large number of spatial and environmental data, allowing to individuate areas with high probability of Cystoseira occurrence as suitable for its presence. This approach encourages the use of this modelling tool for the prediction of Cystoseira distribution and for supporting and planning conservation and management initiatives. The step forward is to refine the spatial information of presence-absence data about Cystoseira canopies and of environmental predictors in order to address species-specific assessments.

Abstract: e-ISSN : 2458-7184; International audience; The last two decades have witnessed an important growth in population numbers, and consequently in infrastructures. This has called a better understanding of geomorphological hazards and risks in the Rifean mountains. While the human activities have a direct influence on mass wasting formations via changes of original slopes, heavy-traffic transit, mining, urban development and planning. Geological complexity, steep geomorphology and abundant rainfall also increase landslides hazard. Therefore, the first step of any study on landslide hazard and risk is inevitably the compilation of a landslide inventory using GIS tools. Then a 1/300 000-scale landslides inventory map has been established for the Rifean region (North of Morocco) using extensive geomorphological analysis based on remote sensing imagery and aerial photo-interpretations consolidated with field surveys. 4177landslides were identified, which covered an area of 1065 km², accounting for 3 % of the study area (about 37000 km²). The minimum, the average and the maximum mass wasting areas are respectively 0.0004, 0.1 and 1.47km². This inventory enabled us to recognize three major families of slope failures morphologies: (i) landslides represented by two subtypes: superficial landslides and landslides - undercutting initiated by the erosive action of rivers (64.4%), (ii) rock-falls (25.2%) and (iii) debris flows (10.4%).; Les deux dernières décennies ont connu une croissance importante de la population, et donc en infrastructures. Ce qui implique la nécessité d’une meilleure compréhension des aléas et des risques géomorphologiques dans les montagnes du Rif. L’action anthropique exerce une influence directe sur la formation de mouvements de terrain par la modification des pentes naturelles, un trafic intense, l’exploitation des carrières, l’aménagement et l’urbanisme. La complexité géologique, une géomorphologie abrupte et des précipitations intenses et irrégulières ont aussi un grand effet sur la genèse de ce type de phénomènes. Par conséquent, la première étape de toute étude sur l’aléa et risque mouvements de terrain (MT) consiste inévitablement en la constitution d’un inventaire de MT à l’aide des outils SIG. Un inventaire à l’échelle 1/300 000 de MT a été établi pour la région rifaine (nord du Maroc) à l’aide d’analyses géomorphologiques approfondies basées sur le traitement des images satellitales et des interprétations des photographiques aériennes avec des missions ponctuelles de terrain. 4177 MT ont été identifiés, couvrant une superficie de 1065 km² et représentant 3% de la zone d’étude (environ 37 000 km²). Les superficies minimale, moyenne et maximale sont respectivement de 0,0004, 0,1 et 1,47 km². Cet inventaire a permis de reconnaître trois grandes familles de morphologies de mouvements de versants: (i) les glissements de terrain représentés par des glissements superficiels et des glissements par sapement provoqués par l’action érosive des rivières (64,4%), (ii) des éboulements (25,2%) et ( iii) coulées de débris (10,4%).

Abstract: Este artículo contiene 18 páginas, 4 figuras., Good datasets of geo-referenced records of alien species are a prerequisite for assessing the spatio-temporal dynamics of biological invasions, their invasive potential, and the magnitude of their impacts. However, with the exception of first records on a country level or wider regions, observations of species presence tend to remain unpublished, buried in scattered repositories or in the personal databases of experts. Through an initiative to collect, harmonize and make such unpublished data for marine alien and cryptogenic species in the Mediterranean Sea available, a large dataset comprising 5376 records was created. It includes records of 239 alien or cryptogenic taxa (192 Animalia, 24 Plantae, 23 Chromista) from 19 countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. In terms of records, the most reported Phyla in descending order were Chordata, Mollusca, Chlorophyta, Arthropoda, and Rhodophyta. The most recorded species was Caulerpa cylindracea, followed by Siganus luridus, Magallana sp. (cf. gigas or angulata) and Pterois miles. The dataset includes records from 1972 to 2020, with the highest number of records observed in 2018. Among the records of the dataset, Dictyota acutiloba is a first record for the Mediterranean Sea. Nine first country records are also included: the alga Caulerpa taxifolia var. distichophylla, the cube boxfish Ostracion cubicus, and the cleaner shrimp Urocaridella pulchella from Israel; the sponge Paraleucilla magna from Libya and Slovenia; the lumpfish Cyclopterus lumpus from Cyprus; the bryozoan Celleporaria vermiformis and the polychaetes Prionospio depauperata and Notomastus aberans from Malta., The publication of this article is supported by the Open Access Publishing Fund of the International Association for Open Knowledge on Invasive Alien Species (INVASIVESNET; www.invasivesnet.org).

Abstract: A thorough understanding of the adsorption behaviors of thymol onto clays (montmorillonite and kaolinite) is important and significant for the potential application of clay samples as adsorbent in pesticide formulation. Materials were characterized by several physicochemical techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric and differential analysis (TGA, TDA), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms. The experimental adsorption data were analyzed using Langmuir, Freundlich and a theoretical finite multilayer with multisite occupancy models. The last theoretical model is based on a statistical physics approach, and especially on the grand canonical formalism. Error analysis showed that the finite multilayer model described well the thymol adsorption data, compared to the other models. Indeed, HYBRID error function provided the lowest sum of normalized error for all parameters model. The investigation of the physicochemical parameters involved in our theoretical model allows one to highlight all kinds of the interaction mechanisms between thymol and clays which lead us to thorough understand a such adsorption process. Furthermore, the maximum adsorbed quantities of thymol were 0.0026 mol/g and 0.00749 mol/g onto raw kaolinite and montmorillonite, respectively. These values increase to 0.01352 mol/g and 0.01695 mol/g for the same modified clays. This leads us to point out that the chemical modification of clays with iron cations has to improve the adsorption capacity, especially for montmorillonite. The evolution of some thermodynamic functions such as the configurational entropy, Gibbs and Helmholtz free enthalpies show that the adsorption of thymol is exothermic and spontaneous in nature.

Abstract: У присутності поверхнево-активних речо- вин (нонанової НК та стеаринової СК кислот) та гумінової кислоти (ГК) досліджено формування частинки оксиду йоду (ОЙЧ). Встановлено, що оксид йоду, який змішували з орга- нічними сполуками (НК, СК, ГК), а потім опромінювали ксено- новою лампою, приводить до утворення ОЙЧ. Виділення утво- рених частинок визначалось за допомогою скануючого класи- фікатора рухомості частинок. Показано, що кількість часток суттєво зменшується в присутності НК, СК, ГК; така поведінка пояснюється утворенням йодоорганічних сполук. In the present study, the formation procedure of iodine oxide particle (IOP) has been investigated in the presence of surfactants (nonanoic and stearic acids NASA) and humic acid (HA). It was established that iodine oxide which was mixed with the organic compounds (HA, NA and SA), and then irradiated with a xenon lamp leads to the formation of IOP. The evolution of formed particles number was followed by a scanning mobility particle sizer. Results obtained show that the number of particles decreases strongly in the presence of HA, NA and SA, this behavior is explained by the formation of organoiodine compounds.

Abstract: A new approach model was developed for the pore size characterization of carbon porous materials, using adsorption gases. The experimental adsorption isotherms of CO2 and N2 onto carbon nanoparticles were used to test the validity of such model. The Trimodal-Gauss-Monolayer model has been found to adjust well the experimental data of CO2 sorption at 273 K and has allowed detect the ultra-micropores till 0.7 nm. For the mesopores and macropores, it has been concluded that the N2 sorption isotherms at 77 K are suitable to characterize this kind of porosity. These isotherms have been well fitted with the Gauss-Monolayer/Gauss-Finite Multilayer model derived from the same approach. Thereby, the novel method can be used as a generalized technique for the simulation of type IVa isotherms. Indeed, this novel method agreed with other methods, NLDFT, QSDFT, and VBS available for pore size distribution. Fil: Bergaoui, Manel. Universite de Monastir; Túnez Fil: Aguir, Chadlia.

Abstract: The adsorption isotherms of two new ionic liquids (4-tert-butyl-1-propylpyridinium bromide: IL1 and (4-ter-butyl-1-(2 carboxyethyl) pyridinium bromide: IL2) and ibuprofen (2-[4-(2-methylpropyl) phenyl] propanoic acid: IBP) on an activated carbon cloth were studied at 286, 298 and 313 K. Experimental adsorption isotherms were simulated by a single energy monolayer model using statistical physics, allowing to determine the number of molecules per site ( n ), the density of receptor sites ( N M ) and the concentration at half saturation ( c 1/2 ). Simulation results suggested that two adsorbates were docked per receptor sites of the activated carbon cloth surface. As a function of temperature, the study of the monolayer adsorbed quantity has indicated that the adsorption process is exothermic. The magnitudes of the estimated adsorption energies have indicated that IBP and ILs have been physisorbed on the adsorbent. The conductor-like screening model for real solvents (COSMO-RS) was applied to calculate three specific interaction energies of ILs and IBP with a graphene layer, i.e., the electrostatic misfit energy (E MF ), the hydrogen-bonding energy (E HB ) and the Van der Waals energy (E vdW ). The COSMO-RS model has proved that the interaction of all the three studied adsorbates with a graphene layer mainly depends on the Van der Waals contribution. The highest interaction energies of IL2 and IBP with the carbon surface have been explained by the additional contribution of hydrogen bond attributed to the presence of a carboxyl group on these molecules.

Abstract: A large number of aromatic plants have been used against diverse insect pests. Unlike conventional pesticides, usually these natural products present less risk to human health and the environment. To enhance the insecticidal activity, essential oils (Eos) can be adsorbed on a solid support such as clay since it is abundant in nature. Clays were characterized by several physicochemical techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric and differential analysis (TGA, TDA), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms. The measured adsorption isotherms of essential oil component (sabinene) onto Cameroonian clays (montmorillonite and kaolinite) were modeled using empirical and theoretical models. The analytical expressions of this theoretical model(so-called finite multilayer with multisite occupancy model (FMM)) have been established from an application of the grand canonical ensemble in statistical physics. The finite multilayer with multisite occupancy model was identified to be the most appropriate option for modeling the adsorption isotherms in terms of physical significance, goodness of model fit and error analysis. The results of the theoretical investigations lead us to point out that a number of agglomerated sabinene molecules are oriented perpendicular to the surface. The main mechanisms interaction for adsorption of sabinene onto clays were electrostatic, hydrophobic, π-π interactions and hydrogen bonds. Furthermore, the chemical modification of clays by basic solution has to reduce the number of adsorbed layers at the surface. However, the treatment of montmorillonite with low concentration of acid solution promotes the formation of several layers. The highest adsorption capacity of sabinene was observed in the case of montmorillonite activated with acid solution. The evolution of the calculated of some thermodynamic functions such as the configurational entropy, Helmholtz and Gibbs free enthalpies indicate that the sabinene adsorption is exothermic and spontaneous in nature.

Abstract: The aim of the present work was to investigate the thermal properties of a new building material consisting of a mixture of plaster and peanut shells for use as insulating materials in building. The properties are commonly measured by using the steady state asymmetric hot plate method, the asymmetrical transient hot plate method and the flash method. The experimental study that we have conducted, enabled us to determine the conductivity, the effusivity and the thermal diffusivity of our material. The influence of the size and the mass fraction of the peanut shell shards on thermophysical properties of tested material, was investigated. Our experimental data show a good efficiency and a significant decrease in the thermal conductivity of material with peanut shell shards compared to simple plaster material. The purpose is to obtain ecological composite materials with better thermal performance, which can contribute to improve the thermal comfort in constructions in Morocco. The results show that the density of the new material was not substantially influenced by the size of the peanut shell shards. However, the thermal conductivity and diffusivity decrease from 0.3 Wm −1 K −1 and 3.75 × 10 −7 m 2 s −1 to 0.14 Wm −1 K −1 and 2.11 × 10 −7 m 2 s −1 , respectively, according to the variation of the mass fraction of peanut from 0 to20%.

Abstract: International audience; In this work, ZnO NPs were successfully synthesized by the sol–gel method without any organic additives or post annealing. The effect of the preparation process on the structural and optical properties of the resulting NPs was investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The structural characterization demonstrated clearly that the NPs crystallize in pure ZnO würtzite structure without any other secondary phases. Furthermore, we show that it is possible to perform the control of the crystalline growth orientation of ZnO NPs, which is a key parameter when seeking to develop ZnO NPs with piezoelectric properties for nano-transducer applications. In fact, TEM observations show that the reduction of the NaOH flow changes the NPs shape from hexagonal NPS to short nanorods grown along the c-axis. The PL spectra of the obtained NPs excited at 280 nm, present an UV emission centered at approximately 380 nm with a slight shift when varying the synthesis temperature and/or the NaOH flow. Moreover, as the visible region (from 400 to 650 nm) is concerned, it was shown that the increasing of the synthesis temperature affects strongly the kind of interstitial defects (Oi, Zni and VoZni) formed in ZnO nanostructures. However, the excitation at 320 nm revealed a broad deep-level emission for all the samples that can be deconvoluted into two Gaussian peaks centered at 514 nm (P1) and 581 nm (P2). These last results have been discussed in the light of a physical mechanism based on the Schottky barrier.

Abstract: Colloque avec actes et comité de lecture. Internationale.; International audience; Thin-walled laminated composite structures are being used extensively in aerospace, naval, transportation and civil engineering industries. These structures are often subjected to aggressive service conditions, such as elevated temperatures, which lead to thermally induced deformations, buckling or post-buckling. Since these structures retain considerable post-buckling strength beyond the thermal buckling load, it is quite advantageous to make use of the post-buckling characteristics in practical design. Most of the investigations on thermal post-buckling analysis have been devoted to thin structures, [1,2] in which the elastic and thermal properties are considered to be temperature independent. Actually, the material properties of the constituents of laminated composite structures depend, generally, on the temperature field imposed. The investigation of thermal post-buckling of laminated composites, considering material degradation using finite element methods, and the static buckling of composite and sandwich plates using layer-wise plate theories are presented in [3,4]. The aim of this paper is the development of a path following algorithm to compute the critical thermal buckling and the post-buckling equilibrium path using an asymptotic numerical method [5]. Temperature-dependent elastic and thermal properties are considered. A power law distribution in terms of temperature is used and the structure is assumed to be subjected to uniform temperature change. Power series expansions of the displacement and the temperature are developed and the homotopy method coupled with the finite element method is used for numerical solution. An asymptotic numerical algorithm is elaborated herein to solve the resulting nonlinear thermal problem with a reasonable computational cost. This algorithm combines the perturbation technique and the finite element. After getting the thermal buckling bifurcation point, the nonlinear equilibrium equations were employed to get the post-buckling configurations. The effects of temperature dependent properties, structure's geometry and boundary conditions on the thermal buckling and post-buckling behaviors were evaluated. It is observed that the thermal buckling strength has been reduced significantly when the temperature-dependent properties are taken into consideration. On the other hand, the temperature-dependent material effect lowered the critical buckling temperatures and increased the post-buckling deflections. The developed methodological approach is efficient and can easy account for various linear and nonlinear temperature dependent models and can be applied to various multilayered composite structures.

Abstract: Organic resin and its derived carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) were prepared and used to adsorb Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA). Characterization by Boehm titrations and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that resin has the largest densities of oxygen groups with a higher O/C atomic ratio (0.381) compared to CNPs (0.059). Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy indicated a spherical shape for both adsorbents with a mean diameter of about 50 nm and 100 nm for CNPs and resin, respectively. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms showed that CNPs present a high specific surface area, (S BET = 662 m 2 /g) and total pore volume (V T = 1.33 cm 3 /g) compared to the resin. A stepwise shape was observed in the adsorption isotherms indicating two different processes. At low concentration, the resin presented a higher adsorbed uptake (0.38 mg/mg) compared to CNPs (0.21 mg/mg) due to its higher amount of oxygen groups. At high concentration, the adsorbed quantity for CNPs (1.30 mg/mg) was higher than the one for the resin (0.97 mg/mg) which is probably due to the porosity effect. To better understand this adsorption behavior, a new approach based on statistical physics was developed. This theoretical model led us to evaluate the adsorption energy distribution and to confirm the two steps adsorption phenomenon.

Abstract: International audience; We have studied by transmission electron microscopy the amorphization of silicon–germanium (SiGe) alloys by Ge+ implantation. We show that when implanted with the same amorphization dose, the resulting amorphous layers get narrower when the Ge content increases. The experimental results can be simulated using the critical damage energy density model assuming that the amorphization threshold rises linearly with the Ge content from 3 eV/at for pure Si to 5 eV/at for pure Ge. These results and simulations are needed to optimize the fabrication of highly doped regions in SiGe alloys.

Abstract: International audience; The application of genomics technologies to medicine and biomedical research is increasing in popularity, made possible by new high-throughput genotyping and sequencing technologies and improved data analysis capabilities. Some of the greatest genetic diversity among humans, animals, plants, and microbiota occurs in Africa, yet genomic research outputs from the continent are limited. The Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa) initiative was established to drive the development of genomic research for human health in Africa, and through recognition of the critical role of bioinformatics in this process, spurred the establishment of H3ABioNet, a pan-African bioinformatics network for H3Africa. The limitations in bioinformatics capacity on the continent have been a major contributory factor to the lack of notable outputs in high-throughput biology research. Although pockets of high-quality bioinformatics teams have existed previously, the majority of research institutions lack experienced faculty who can train and supervise bioinformatics students. H3ABioNet aims to address this dire need, specifically in the area of human genetics and genomics, but knock-on effects are ensuring this extends to other areas of bioinformatics. Here, we describe the emergence of genomics research and the development of bioinformatics in Africa through H3ABioNet.

Abstract: International audience; Nosocomial late-onset sepsis represents a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm neonates. The Staphylococcus capitis clone NRCS-A has been previously described as an emerging cause of nosocomial bacteraemia in French neonatal intensive-care units (NICUs). In this study, we aimed to explore the possible unrecognized dissemination of this clone on a larger geographical scale. One hundred methicillin-resistant S. capitis strains isolated from neonates (n = 86) and adult patients (n = 14) between 2000 and 2013 in four different countries (France, Belgium, the UK, and Australia) were analysed with SmaI pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and dru typing. The vast majority of NICU strains showed the NRCS-A pulsotype and the dt11c type (96%). We then randomly selected 14 isolates (from neonates, n = 12, three per country; from adult patients, n = 2), considered to be a subset of representative isolates, and performed further molecular typing (SacII PFGE, SCCmec typing, and multilocus sequence typing-like analysis), confirming the clonality of the S. capitis strains isolated from neonates, despite their distant geographical origin. Whole genome single-nucleotide polymorphism-based phylogenetic analysis of five NICU isolates (from the different countries) attested to high genetic relatedness within the NRCS-A clone. Finally, all of the NRCS-A strains showed multidrug resistance (e.g. methicillin and aminoglycoside resistance, and decreased vancomycin susceptibility), with potential therapeutic implications for infected neonates. In conclusion, this study represents the first report of clonal dissemination of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus clone on a large geographical scale. Questions remain regarding the origin and means of international spread, and the reasons for this clone's apparent predilection for neonates.

Abstract: The adsorbability of bovine serum albumin (BSA) onto poly(styrene-co-itaconic acid) (PS–IA), poly(styrene-co-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PS–HEMA), poly(styrene-co-acrylic acid) (PS–AA), and poly(styrene-co-methacrylic acid) (PS–MAA) latices were investigated with a quartz crystal microbalance. The amount adsorbed onto the functionalized latices, except for PS–MAA, was greater than that adsorbed onto polystyrene (PS) latex. To explain this result, two kinds of interaction forces were considered, hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions, whereas electrostatic interaction was assumed to be small. When comparing the two extremes of hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonding, the latter was stronger. The corrected adsorption mass suggested that the BSA molecules were adsorbed onto the PS–MAA latex in a side-on mode. However, in the case of the PS, PS–IA, PS–HEMA, and PS–AA latices, the BSA molecules were probably adsorbed in multiple layers. The presence of the BSA in the latex particle surface was verified by attenuated total reflectance/Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract: cited By 1; International audience; The aim of this work is to study the influence of the Ge content on the 113 defects formed, after a (35 keV, 1 × 1015 Ge+/cm2) preamorphization step followed by annealing at 680 °C, in relaxed SiGe alloys. For that, plan-view Transmission Electron Microscopy (PTEM) under appropriate imaging conditions was used to study the 113 defects evolution as a function of the Ge content. Experimental results show that, increasing the Ge content results in a net reduction of both the density and the size of the 113 defects. Results analysis was performed in the framework of the "excess interstitials" model which describes perfectly the observed decrease of the 113 defects density in Si. Moreover, through a confrontation between the TEM observations and the predictions of this model, we show that the density of the interstitials contained in the defects (deduced from PTEM images) is a quasi linear function of the density of excess interstitials generated during the preamorphization step beneath the c/a interface, as calculated by the SRIM code. We conclude that collisional arguments can appropriately explain the observed evolution of the 113 defects density as a function of the Ge content. Meanwhile, the observed reduction of the 113 defects size with the Ge content, may be ascribed to a decrease of the transport capacity DiCi*, responsible for the defects growth. © 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Abstract: Patulin is one of the mycotoxins frequently detected in apples and derivatives, representing a major food safety risk. This study aimed to validate a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with an ultraviolet (UV) detector for patulin quantification and assess its occurrence in apple beverages marketed in Morocco. The validation parameters showed satisfactory results with adequate linearity (R > 0.997), a relative standard deviation below 2.5%, repeatability between 3.6 and 7.1%, reproducibility between 3.9 and 11.5%, a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 4 μg/L, and recoveries close to 100% for three levels. Analysis of 30 samples revealed patulin levels ranging from 0 to 16.36 μg/L, with 50% of samples showing negative levels. All positive results remained below the regulatory maximum limit of 50 μg/L. These findings affirm the efficacy of the HPLC proposed method in ensuring compliance with patulin regulations in apple beverages, underlining its importance in safeguarding food safety., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Ltd.

36. Recovery of mining and agri-food wastes in fired materials: a case study of the Moroccan industry.

Author: Harrami M, Ez-Zaki H, Fami NE, Khachani N, and Diouri A
Abstract: The linear economy follows the "take-make-dispose" model and generates huge amounts of waste without consideration for recycling or reuse. This model which deals with raw materials puts pressure on natural resources and creates a serious environmental impact. In a circular economy, the "reduce-reuse-recycle" model is applied to recycle waste into resources and reduce the impact on the environment and society. This work aims to highlight the significance of implementing a circular economy approach in the construction sector by merging two different production lines, notably mining activity and agri-food industry. The investigation presents sustainable management of coal mine waste (CMW) and olive pomace (OP) in the production of eco-friendly fired materials and introduces an innovative approach for manufacturing lightweight fired bricks. Microstructural, physical, mechanical, and thermal properties were determined to evaluate the technological quality of fired materials at 900 °C. As a pore-forming agent, adding 10 wt% OP yielded specimens with a bulk density of 1552 kg/m3, water absorption of 19.80%, apparent porosity of 29.61%, loss on ignition of 26.98%, and compressive strength of 7.08 MPa, satisfying standards for clay masonry units. Simultaneously, it enhances the thermal insulation by reducing thermal conductivity by 18% compared to the control sample with CMW. In this regard, the transition to a greener construction sector necessitates the immediate implementation of a circular economy approach to developing eco-friendly building materials by recovering large amounts of industrial waste, limiting the overuse of natural resources (e.g., clays), and improving the engineering properties of the final product., (© 2024.

37. Farmers' perception, knowledge, and control attitudes of rodents infesting cereal growing areas in Morocco.

Author: Assidi M, El Hajjaji S, Laasli SE, Akki R, Iraqi D, Khayi S, Lahlali R, Dababat AA, Daliakopoulos I, and Mokrini F
Abstract: Background: Rodent pests threaten agricultural cropping systems, impacting food security and small-holder farmers' income in cereal-growing areas., Results: This study investigated knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAPs) toward rodents infesting Moroccan cereal crops through a survey of 100 farmers in two regions (Rabat-Sale-Kenitra and Fes-Meknes). A constructive questionnaire about all rodent aspects was created and distributed to the farmers. Rodent infestation is perceived in most fields (80%), with Mus musculus (28%) and Rattus rattus (26%) being the most prevalent species. Farmers perceived rodents negatively (> 90%), considering them as a major threat. Most of the control attitudes against rodent infestation were positive when continuously established and promoted. The farmer profile was shown to influence rodent knowledge and control attitude. Younger, educated, and experienced farmers understood rodent damage trends better and adopted environmental-friendly management practices, while older, inexperienced respondents preferred to use rodenticides instead., Conclusion: The study revealed novel insights into rodent problems in Moroccan cereal fields and urged the need for ecologically-based rodent management (EBRM) practices. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry., (© 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.)

Abstract: Aims: The aim of the present review was to highlight natural product investigations in silico and in vitro to find plants and chemicals that inhibit or stimulate angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2)., Background: The global reduction of incidents and fatalities attributable to infections with SARS-CoV-2 is one of the most public health problems. In the absence of specific therapy for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), phytocompounds generated from plant extracts may be a promising strategy worth further investigation, motivating researchers to evaluate the safety and anti-SARS-CoV-2 effectiveness of these ingredients., Objective: To review phytochemicals in silico for anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity and to assess their safety and effectiveness in vitro and in vivo., Methods: The present review was conducted using various scientific databases and studies on anti-SARS-CoV-2 phytochemicals were analyzed and summarized. The results obtained from the in silico screening were subjected to extraction, isolation, and purification. The in vitro studies on anti-SarcoV-2 were also included in this review. In addition, the results of this research were interpreted, analyzed, and documented on the basis of the bibliographic information obtained., Results: This review discusses recent research on using natural remedies to cure or prevent COVID-19 infection. The literature analysis shows that the various herbal preparations (extracts) and purified compounds can block the replication or entrance of the virus directly to carry out their anti-SARS-CoV-2 effects. It is interesting to note that certain items can prevent SARS-CoV-2 from infecting human cells by blocking the ACE-2 receptor or the serine protease TMPRRS2. Moreover, natural substances have been demonstrated to block proteins involved in the SARS-CoV-2 life cycle, such as papain- or chymotrypsin-like proteases., Conclusion: The natural products may have the potential for use singly or in combination as alternative drugs to treat/prevent COVID-19 infection, including blocking or stimulating ACE-2. In addition, their structures may provide indications for the development of anti-SARS-CoV-2 drugs., (© The Author(s) 2024.

Abstract: Introduction: The aims of study are to estimate the indirect costs and intangible costs of RA in Morocco and to identify the factors likely to influence these costs among suffering patients., Methods: In the current study, data were collected by face-to-face interviews using a questionnaire in addition to the patient's files. Indirect costs including productivity losses and formal care, and intangible costs such as the cessation of physical and leisure activities, family care and divorce or remaining single until menopause's age for women due to the disease were reported for 110 RA patients., Results: The results show that among patients who lost totally or partially their salary, the annual average costs is $2337.73 ± 1649.80 per patient, with a minimum and a maximum of $600 and $9630 respectively. As regards formal care, only 13 patients reported that they paid for care services; the annual average cost was $421.84 ± 261.34 with a minimum of $252 and a maximum of $1200. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences between annual lost salary and gender (p = .04) disease duration (p = .016) and sport/leisure activities cessation (p = .08)., Conclusion: Besides the burden in terms of productivity loss and caregivers' costs, the intangible costs are considerable, especially those related to divorce and spinsterhood. These conclusions may contribute to the understanding of the socio-economic impact of the disease and to the development of strategies for better governance of RA in Morocco., (© 2024 Asia Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology and John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd.)

40. An adapted taxonomy and framework for monitoring road safety strategies: a case study of Morocco.

Author: El Khalai I, Chorfi Z, and Berrado A
Abstract: Traditional approaches to monitoring road safety have primarily focused on measuring outcomes such as the number of fatalities and injuries. While effective in capturing overall trends, this macroscopic approach often overlooks the underlying causes of unsafe conditions. Recognizing these limitations, many countries now embrace a safe system-based approach, which emphasizes a holistic view of road safety, considering various elements and their interactions. In response to this shift, this study introduces a five-step framework designed to provide comprehensive coverage and tailored assistance in selecting and utilizing appropriate Road Safety Indicators (RSIs) for more effective performance monitoring. The framework integrates a novel RSIs taxonomy aligned with critical elements of the safe system. It also incorporates an MCDA-based approach to account for decision-makers' preferences when selecting suitable RSIs. A case study demonstrates the practical application of the proposed steps, including the identification, classification, selection, and development of descriptive sheets for each selected RSI, as well as the continuous updating of the RSIs set. The findings offered valuable insights into the commonly used indicators in international road safety reports, while also revealing the limitations of currents metrics and data in fully capturing critical elements and hierarchical level within the road safety management system.

Subjects: Fertilizers, Chitosan chemistry, Green Chemistry Technology methods, Delayed-Action Preparations
Abstract: The demand for food is increasing rapidly with the growth of the global population. To ensure global food security, fertilizers are essential. Controlled-release fertilizers (CRFs) are a highly effective type of fertilizer that have been developed to meet this need. While CRFs offer significant advantages over traditional fertilizers, their use has been limited due to high production costs and negative impact on the environment. CRFs are manufactured and applied without considering the resource-use efficiency of the production process or the potential ecological consequences of fertilizer application. To tackle these issues, biopolymer-based CRFs have been developed. These innovative fertilizers are created by coating granules with biodegradable and eco-friendly biopolymers (chitosan, starch and cellulose). In addition, these groundbreaking fertilizers align with the tenets of the circular economy, which involve formulating products that enable a gradual and steady dispensation of nutrients over an extended period. Our objective in embracing these fertilizers is to transcend the traditional linear "take, make, dispose" approach and transition towards a more sustainable and circular model. This approach not only enhances nutrient delivery efficiency but also contributes significantly to reducing the environmental impact associated with conventional fertilizer use. Afterward, the research explored various aspects of controlled-release fertilizers (CRFs), including the mechanisms of nutrient release, the types of coating materials used, and the techniques employed for coating. The study also examined the benefits and challenges associated with CRFs and analyzed how specific parameters influence the nutrient release mechanisms., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: Today, pharmaceutical drugs have been shown to have serious side effects, while the bioactive components of botanical plants are proven to be effective in the treatment of several diseases marked by enhanced oxidative stress and mild inflammation, often associated with minimal adverse events. Coumaroyltyramine, designated by various nomenclatures such as paprazine, N-p-trans-coumaroyltyramine, p-coumaroyltyramine and N-p-coumaroyltyramine, could be a promising bioactive ingredient to address health issues thanks to its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. This review represents the first in-depth analysis of coumaroyltyramine, an intriguing phenylpropanoid substance found in many species of plants. In fact, an in-depth examination of coumaroyltyramine's biological characteristics, chemical attributes, and synthesis process has been undertaken. All previous research relating to the discovery, extraction, biosynthesis, and characterization of the biologically and pharmacologically active properties of coumaroyltyramine has been reviewed and taken into consideration in this analysis. All articles published in a peer-reviewed English-language journal were examined between the initial compilations of the appropriate database until February 12, 2024. A variety of phytochemicals revealed that coumaroyltyramine is a neutral amide of hydroxycinnamic acid that tends to concentrate in plants as a reaction against infection caused by pathogens and is extracted from several medicinal herbs such as Cannabis sativa, Solanum melongena, Allium bakeri, Annona cherimola, Polygonatum zanlanscianense, and Lycopersicon esculentum. Thanks to its effectiveness in suppressing the effect of the enzyme α-glucosidase, coumaroltyramine has demonstrated antihyperglycemic activity and could have an impact on diabetes and metabolic disorders. It has considerable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. These results were obtained through biological and pharmacological studies in silico, in vivo, and in vitro. In addition, coumaroyltyramine has demonstrated hypocholesterolemic and neuroprotective benefits, thereby diminishing heart and vascular disease incidence and helping to prevent neurological disorders. Other interesting properties of coumaroltyramine include anticancer, antibacterial, anti-urease, antifungal, antiviral, and antidysmenorrheal activities. Targeted pathways encompass activity at different molecular levels, notably through induction of endoplasmic reticulum stress-dependent apoptosis, arrest of the cell cycle, and inhibition of the growth of cancer cells, survival, and proliferation. Although the findings from in silico, in vivo, and in vitro experiments illustrate coumaroyltyramine's properties and modes of action, further research is needed to fully exploit its therapeutic potential. To improve our understanding of the compound's pharmacodynamic effects and pharmacokinetic routes, large-scale research should first be undertaken. To determine whether coumaroyltyramine is clinically safe and effective, further studies are required in the clinical and toxicological fields. This upcoming research will be crucial to achieving the overall potency of this substance as a natural drug and in terms of its potential synergies with other drugs., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest Authors declare that there is no conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier B.V.

43. Analysis of Morphological Traits in Herbarium of Historical Cannabis Specimens from Maghreb: Morphological Characteristics of Landrace Kif.

Author: Bachir F, El Oualidi J, Benkhnigue O, and Fekhaoui M
Subjects: Inflorescence anatomy & histology, Trichomes, Cannabis genetics
Abstract: Background: Exploring the morphological traits of historical Cannabis populations from the Maghreb can provide invaluable information about the characteristics of the Maghreb Landrace Kif and contribute to the preservation of this vulnerable Cannabis resource. Aim: The purpose of the present study was to analyze the morphological characteristics of Cannabis specimens collected before worldwide introgressive hybridization and summarize the morphological traits of the Maghreb Landrace Kif. Discussion: Despite the limited number of specimens collected in the Maghreb, this study identified distinct types of Cannabis in the herbaria, including the Maghreb Landrace Kif, European hemp, and potentially East Asian hemp. By examining the morphological traits of kif specimens and reviewing the relevant literature, the study identifies the morphological traits that tend to characterize Maghreb Landrace Kif. Morphologically, Kif is different from drug-type Cannabis indica ("Sativa" and "Indica"). It resembles European hemp Cannabis sativa , but has female inflorescence characteristics that allow it to be distinguished from the latter, even when the growing conditions are optimal. These are the density of pistillate inflorescences (perigonal bract-to-leaf index), and the capitate stalked glandular trichomes cover density on the perigonal bracts. Conclusion: The characteristics of pistillate inflorescences identified in this study can be used to distinguish and select plants before phytochemical and genetic analysis, thus facilitating the identification of the Maghreb Landrace Kif.

44. Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis, and calculations of inter-molecular inter-action energies and energy frameworks of 1-[(1-hexyl-1 H -1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)meth-yl]-3-(1-methyl-ethen-yl)-benzimidazol-2-one.

Author: El Atrassi Z, Benzekri Z, Blacque O, Hökelek T, Mazzah A, Cherkaoui H, and Sebbar NK
Abstract: The benzimidazole moiety in the title mol-ecule, C 19 H 25 N 5 O, is almost planar and oriented nearly perpendicular to the triazole ring. In the crystal, C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a network structure. There are no π-π inter-actions present but two weak C-H⋯π(ring) inter-actions are observed. A Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (62.0%), H⋯C/C⋯H (16.1%), H⋯N/N⋯H (13.7%) and H⋯O/O⋯H (7.5%) inter-actions. Evaluation of the electrostatic, dispersion and total energy frameworks indicate that the stabilization is dominated via the dispersion energy contributions in the title compound., (© El Atrassi et al. 2024.)

45. False iliac artery aneurysms on a psoas abscess revealing tuberculosis disease: About a case report and review of the literature.

Author: Jdar A, Lekehal M, Bounssir A, Bakkali T, and Lekehal B
Abstract: Introduction and Importance: Tuberculosis is re-emerging globally, including in Morocco. Common iliac artery aneurysms induced by tuberculosis are very rare and severe due to the risk of infection and hemorrhage, making treatment choice crucial. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature., Case Presentation: In this article, we report a new case involving a 54-year-old man admitted to the emergency department of the university hospital for skin necrosis in the groin area with a pulsating mass in front and altered general condition, associated with night fevers that led to a chest X-ray revealing miliary tuberculosis. An emergency CT angiography showed a false aneurysm of the left common iliac artery, measuring 55 mm in diameter. The patient underwent resection of the friable portion of the iliac artery and restoration of arterial continuity through an end-to-end arterial anastomosis. Histological analysis of the surgical samples confirmed the tuberculous origin of the false aneurysm. The patient was placed on anti-tuberculous treatment, and the postoperative course was uneventful. After 6 months, the patient was asymptomatic, and the iliac axis was patent on the follow-up CT angiography., Clinical Discussion: Mycotic aneurysms are rarely reported, including in the carotid, iliac, femoral, and popliteal arteries. Contamination of the artery by the tuberculous mycobacterium results either from direct extension of the infection through contact with an adjacent focus or from hematogenous dissemination. Based on published cases, the evolution after appropriate medical and surgical treatment is generally favorable; however, the choice of therapy and the approach to restoring arterial continuity-vein versus prosthesis-are not well represented in the literature and depend on clinical and radiological contexts. The mortality rate remains high, with reported causes of death including aneurysmal rupture and septicemia., Conclusion: The combination of anti-bacillary treatments and antibiotics, along with either open or endovascular surgery, represents the optimal therapeutic choice to ensure good outcomes and effective disease control., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors report no declarations of interest., (Copyright © 2024 The Authors.

46. Genetic diversity, stress tolerance and phytobeneficial potential in rhizobacteria of Vachellia tortilis subsp. raddiana.

Author: Hnini M and Aurag J
Abstract: Background: Soil bacteria often form close associations with their host plants, particularly within the root compartment, playing a significant role in plant growth and stress resilience. Vachellia tortilis subsp. raddiana, (V. tortilis subsp. raddiana)a leguminous tree, naturally thrives in the harsh, arid climate of the Guelmim region in southern Morocco. This study aims to explore the diversity and potential plant growth-promoting (PGP) activities of bacteria associated with this tree., Results: A total of 152 bacterial isolates were obtained from the rhizosphere of V. tortilis subsp. raddiana. Rep-PCR fingerprinting revealed 25 distinct genomic groups, leading to the selection of 84 representative strains for further molecular identification via 16 S rRNA gene sequencing. Seventeen genera were identified, with Bacillus and Pseudomonas being predominant. Bacillus strains demonstrated significant tolerance to water stress (up to 30% PEG), while Pseudomonas strains showed high salinity tolerance (up to 14% NaCl). In vitro studies indicated variability in PGP activities among the strains, including mineral solubilization, biological nitrogen fixation, ACC deaminase activity, and production of auxin, siderophores, ammonia, lytic enzymes, and HCN. Three elite strains were selected for greenhouse inoculation trials with V. tortilis subsp. raddiana. Strain LMR725 notably enhanced various plant growth parameters compared to uninoculated control plants., Conclusions: The findings underscore the potential of Bacillus and Pseudomonas strains as biofertilizers, with strain LMR725 showing particular promise in enhancing the growth of V. tortilis subsp. raddiana. This strain emerges as a strong candidate for biofertilizer formulation aimed at improving plant growth and resilience in arid environments., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

Abstract: Duodenal metastases from pulmonary adenocarcinoma are rare. Early detection, diagnosis, and treatment are crucial for improving the prognosis of patients with duodenal metastases from primary lung cancer, which often go unnoticed due to their low incidence and diagnostic challenges. Here, we present the case of a 64-year-old man with an unusual occurrence of duodenal metastases from pulmonary adenocarcinoma, admitted with symptoms of cholangitis. Radiological findings revealed a mass in the D2-D3 segments of the duodenum. Endoscopic ultrasound with biopsy was performed, and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed that the mass was a duodenal metastasis of pulmonary adenocarcinoma., (© 2024 The Authors.

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive study on the corrosion inhibition properties of new organic compounds, (1 H -benzimidazol-2-yl)methanethiol (LF 1 ) and 1-dodecyl-2-((dodecylthio)methyl)-1 H -benzimidazole (LF 2 ), have been examined for inhibiting of Carbon-Steel (C.S) in 1.0 M HCl. Numerous methods, such as potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, atomic force microscopy (AFM), contact angle measurements, UV-visible spectroscopy, and theoretical calculations, were used to evaluate the effectiveness in preventing corrosion. The two benzimidazoles (LF 1 and LF 2 )' inhibitory efficacy rose as their concentration increased, peaking at 88.2% and 95.4% respectively. The polarization graphs show a mixed behavior, with anodic predominance for LF 1 and cathodic predominance for LF 2 . Thermodynamic investigations showed that the values of Δ G ads were -40.0 kJ mol -1 for LF 1 and -43.1 kJ mol -1 , highlighting their strong adsorption onto the metal surface. Their adsorption process was in line with the Langmuir isotherm. Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Molecular Dynamics (MD) modeling have been utilized to examine and clarify the relationship between the inhibitor and carbon steel (C.S).2 , highlighting their strong adsorption onto the metal surface.

49. Segmental vitiligo distribution follows the underlying arterial blood supply territory: a hypothesis based on anatomo-clinical, pathological and physio-pathological studies.

Author: Benzekri L, Cario-André M, Laamrani FZ, and Gauthier Y
Abstract: Background: Segmental vitiligo (SV) is a subset of vitiligo typically characterized by its unilateral distribution. The pathogenesis of SV remains unclear, and until now the two main patterns proposed for SV have lacked biological support. This calls for a new approach., Objectives: Use data obtained from anatomo-clinical, pathological, and physio-pathological studies to formulate a new hypothesis on segmental vitiligo distribution and its pathogenesis., Methods: Using transparent templates of local arterial blood supply, we evaluated anatomical correspondence (AC) in 140 SV lesions according to the number of SV lesions that fit within the corresponding arterial blood-supply areas. SV lesions were graded as 1 (moderate: AC < 50%), 2 (good: AC > 50%), or 3 (excellent: AC of all lesions). To support this anatomical investigation, we searched for complementary assessments according to the activity of SV lesions. Arterial and periarterial network impairment and inflammatory infiltration were histologically studied using nerve growth factor (NGF) and CD4 and CD8 monoclonal antibodies. Increased blood flow of the underlying arteries was also investigated using thermography and ultrasonography., Results: We recruited 140 patients with a sex ratio of 0.8 and mean age 26.13 years. Localizations: head and neck 84.28%; trunk 6.42%; upper limb 5%; genital areas 2.14%; lower limb 1.42%. The AC of each SV lesion with the underlying artery blood supply territory was rated as 72% excellent; 16% good; and 12% moderate. Histologically (40 patients), we found some periarterial network impairments. Thermal asymmetry was significantly associated with active SV ( p < 0.001)., Conclusion: We hypothesized that SV distribution corresponds to the underlying artery blood-supply territory., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.

50. Electrodeposition of Cu 2 NiSnS 4 absorber layer on FTO substrate for solar cell applications.

Author: Ait Layachi O, Hrir H, Boudouma A, Atourki L, Azmi S, Fariat Y, Nini M, Moujib A, and Khoumri EM
Abstract: Potentiostatic and in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were recorded to study the nucleation and growth mechanisms of electrodeposited Cu 2 NiSnS 4 (CNTS) thin films from aqueous solution at different applied potentials. The electrodeposition process of Cu-Ni-Sn-S precursors were studied using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry techniques. The nucleation and growth mechanism of these films was found to follow a three-dimensional progressive nucleation limited by diffusion-controlled growth. The nucleation mechanism is found to be influenced by the presence of S 2 O 3 2- electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) investigates the electrodeposition behavior of CNTS precursors on the surface electrode. A capacitive behavior was observed at high frequencies, while the presence of Warburg diffusion was detected only for potentials less negative than -1.0 V In situ Ag/AgCl. The crystallographic structure, morphology, composition, and optical band gap of CNTS thin films was examined using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and UV-visible spectroscopy. Electrodeposition at -0.98 V vs. Ag/AgCl resulted in the formation of microsheets with a uniform morphology and homogeneous thickness of sulfurized CNTS film. This potential also proved to be optimal for achieving higher crystallinity, a pure phase, and a suitable band gap energy of approximately 1.6 eV.vs. Ag/AgCl resulted in the formation of microsheets with a uniform morphology and homogeneous thickness of sulfurized CNTS film.
