    PESTICIDE OCCURRENCE AND DISTRIBUTION IN CULTIVATED SOILS OF THE ARID REGION OF EL-HEJERA, OUARGLA PROVINCE AND CORRELATION WITH SOIL PROPERTIES
    (university of eloued جامعة الوادي, 2020-01-01) N., Aloui1,2,; H. *, Ouled-Haddar3*,; *, . Bissati4, S.; M., Kraimat1,5; , . Omeiri5 N.
    This study deals with the assessment of the most used pesticides by farmers in the Saharan region of Ouargla. Based on collected survey data, sampling of the cultivated soils, physicochemical analysis, solid/liquid extraction and identification by thin layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography, the following results were obtained: pesticides used in 2015 are not existing in the extracts, like the case of vapcomic (abamectin 1.8% EC) and Metronate (methomyle 25%), this could be explained by the retention which is the overall result of a set of elementary processes, involving interactions with organic constituents and soil minerals. Also, pesticide residues were found outside their points of application, such as Pulsar and Score 250EC, these phenomena can be explained by the local pedo-climatic conditions and to difference in solubility and chemical nature.

    (university of eloued جامعة الوادي, 2020-01-01) R., . Boukli-Hacene1,*; , Boudahri2, F.; , Betaouaf H.
    t is very known that the availability of drugs is the major problem faced by patients. Therefore, this article deals with the optimization of a pharmaceutical supply chain, i.e. we need to reorganize the entire current pharmaceutical network with a main objective of no patient suffers as long as the medicine exists somewhere. Achieving this requires a strategic organization of the geographic network in order to gain a better distribution. It is based on the information that must be received after a general study on the entire health sector in a specific area. The problem is formulated in a nonlinear model (MINLP) and in order to solve it we resort to using optimization solvers to show the effectiveness of this approach

    (university of eloued جامعة الوادي, 2020-01-01) T., Dessenbe1,; C. L, Haouvang1,2,; N., Nukenine Elias1
    The extracts of the leaves of Plectranthus glandulosus were evaluated on population growth, the losses caused to the seeds by Sitophilus zeamais and their repulsive effect were also tested. The reference insecticide Delvap Super® (Dichlorvos 1%, Cypermethrin 0.36% [PI]) was applied as a positive control at the recommended dose (0.1 g / kg), while the extracts were used at four different doses (5, 10, 20 and 40 g / kg). The growth rate of S. zeamais and the losses caused to the seeds were recorded. The methanolic extracts of the leaves of P. glandulosus significantly reduced the growth of of S. zeamais from 61.67 to 100% and the losses from 84.12 to 100% comparable to the inhibitory and reducing effect of the losses of Delvap Super® 100% saved with its recommended dose. The maximum repulsion rate (83.33%) for S. zeamais was recorded with the highest dose (40 g / kg) after 2 hours of exposure by the olfactometer method. In view of these results, we could affirm that these extracts could be recommended as alternatives to synthetic insecticides against S. zeamais in storage.

    (university of eloued جامعة الوادي, 2020-01-01) Y., Bekakra*1,; D., Ben Attous2,; Z., Tir3,; O., Malik
    To further improve the dynamic speed control performance of an induction motor (IM) using a controller based on sliding mode control (SMC) strategy, the switching table for direct torque control (DTC) is realized using a feed forward artificial neural network (ANN). The proposed feed-forward ANN consists of three layers: input, hidden and output layer. The input layer consists of three neurons (sector of flux vector, electromagnetic torque error and stator flux error), the hidden layer consists of a number of neurons that can be determined by experiment to obtain good results. The output layer consists of three neurons (three signals of the converter Sa, Sb and Sc). Simulation results under MATLAB environment are presented and compared with classical DTC using an Integral-proportional (IP) controller to verify the proposed approach.

    EXTRUDED POLY(ETHYLENE–CO–VINYL ALCOHOL) COMPOSITE FILMS REINFORCED WITH CELLULOSIC FIBERS ISOLATED FROM TWO LOCAL ABUNDONATES PLANTS
    (university of eloued جامعة الوادي, 2020-01-01) L., Benchikh1*,; A., Merzouki1,; Y., . Grohens2; I., . Pellin2
    El Diss and El Retma fibers are in abundance in North Africa, collected from Setif (Algeria) and have been treated to isolate cellulose fibers with toluene-ethanol and HNO3 to improve their dispersion into EVOH matrix. SEM micrographs and FTIR analyses of the treated fibers confirmed the elimination of non cellulosics materials and thier cristallinity was estimated by DRX. Thermal analyses by TGA indicate a slight improvement compared to the raw fibers. Composites were also prepared by incorporation of the cellulosic fibers in EVOH matrix. FTIR results and water absorption behavior indicate a reaction between the treated fiber and EVOH matrix by forming hydrogen bonds. Thermal properties of the composites reported by DSC results decreased compared to neat EVOH. The addition of cellulosic fibers led to an increase in the loss and storage modulus and melt viscosity of the composites.

    EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF HYGROTHERMAL BEHAVIOR OF DIRECT GREEN FACADES UNDER SEMI-ARID CLIMATE
    (university of eloued جامعة الوادي, 2020-01-01) K., Benhalilou1,2*,; S, . Abdou2,; , . Djedjig3 R.
    This paper aims to investigate the hygrothermal behavior of direct green facades and assess their efficiency under semi-arid climate. For that purpose, a comparative study was conducted in three buildings; two buildings with direct green façades (covered with deciduous climbing plants) and one with a bare façade. Air and surface temperature, relative humidity and wind speed were collected in situ and several factors were taken into consideration as thickness and density of plant cover. The analysis of measurement data revealed that direct green façades contribute to improve the outdoor and indoor thermal environment of buildings due to the effect of shading and evapotranspiration. Moreover, the different types of green façades illustrated their different heat impact on the thermal environment of buildings depending on the density and thickness of the plant layer and the covering ratio.

    EFFECT OF WATER STRESS ON RHIZOBIA SYMBIOSIS IN ALFALFA (MEDICAGO SATIVA L.)
    (university of eloued جامعة الوادي, 2020-01-01) A., Mouffok1*,.; M., . Belhamra2
    The objective of this work was to highlight the responses to the low, moderate and severe water deficit of five varieties of alfalfa. The mechanisms studied focused on the relative water content, dry matter yield and symbiotic nitrogen fixation. The results obtained showed that the effects of water stress are manifested by a decrease in the relative water content and negatively affect vegetative growth as well as the symbiotic nitrogen fixation. The varieties studied behave differently depending on the severity of stress. However, the Diamant and Baldia varieties proved the most tolerant to the different degrees of water deficit. On the other hand, the varieties Dista and Moapa showed a significant sensitivity to the lack of water. This study could be used to define relevant criteria for drought resistance that can be used in varietal selection.

    (university of eloued جامعة الوادي, 2020-01-01) M. A., Ouaridhene1*,; A., . Benmoussat1,; , Lasker3, B; , . Benatallah3 M.
    The demand increase for the energy and the world’s challenge to decrease the consummation of fossil fuels has oriented many research works toward the development and investigation in the renewable energy sources (RES) like solar energy. In fact, an adequate parametrisation of the performance of photovoltaic (PV) modules starts by their characterisation. In this study we focus on measuring the current-voltage (I-V) and power-voltage (P-V) curves for two types of PV modules – Monocrystalline and Amorphous that were tested under different temperature. A developed low-cost acquisition device based on Arduino board is used to monitor and trace those data. The performance and the quality of this later is analysed in term of solar panel characteristics and show that the developed acquisition device is especially suitable for amorphous (PV) modules.

    (university of eloued جامعة الوادي, 2020-01-01) W., Hamzi1,2; S., Belaidi3,*,; O., Oukil2,; N., Aoumeur2, 2; , . Medjahed2 S
    In the present study, Quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) study has been applied on twenty-five molecules of camphor-based symmetric diimines. A Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) procedure was used to correlate the relationships between molecular descriptors and the biological activity of camphor-based symmetric diimine derivatives. The predictivity of the model was estimated by cross-validation with the leave-one-out method. Our results suggest a QSAR model based on the following descriptors: MW, HE, Pol, MR, MV, HBA, NRB, PSA, μ and Etotal, for the influenza virus reproduction inhibition to confirm the predictive power of the models. High correlation between experimental and predicted activities was observed, indicating good quality of the QSAR model.

    DISCRETE WAVELET ANALYSIS FOR STATOR FAULTS DETECTION IN INDUCTION MACHINE
    (university of eloued جامعة الوادي, 2020-01-01) R., Kechida1,; , . Menacer 2 A.
    The induction motors are not always operating under complete steady state conditions, therefore prompting the development of non-stationary techniques for fault detection. In this paper an inter-turn short circuit fault is considered in the stator winding. The technique for diagnosis in transient state, especially in startup state is based from using the DWT. The signal used for the fault detection is the stator current. The experimental results show that using DWT can effectively be used to diagnose this type of the fault in the motor.

    DEGRADATION OF METHYLENE BLUE USING ZNO PHOTOCATALYST FOR WATER PURIFICATION
    (university of eloued جامعة الوادي, 2020-01-01) M, Bouchaour*1.; SA, Benyelles1,; D, Guettaia2,; , . OuldAbbas1, A.; N-E., ChabaneSari1
    Current environmental protection concerns the quality of water and air. This strong tendency to want to control the purity of the water leads to the design of sensors. In this work, we study the degradation of methylene blue in the presence of the ZnOphotocatalyst. The photochemical behavior of this molecule depends a lot on the conditions and the nature of the reaction medium; especially the pH of the solution to be degraded and the concentration of the pollutant. We apply the photocatalysis of the dye (at room temperature) under visible light and using a UV lamp. The photocatalytic efficiency was calculated from absorption spectra using UV-visible spectroscopy.
