3-D MODELLING OF ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS’ EFFECTS ON THE HEATING OF THE BASE OF AN INTENSE LIGHT ILLUMINATED POLYCRYSTALLINE SILICON PV CELL
(university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2021-09-01) Soro, B; Savadogo, M; Zouma, B; Tchedre, K. E; Sourabie, I; Zerbo, I; Bathiebo, D. J
Performances of a solar cell are significantly influenced by the heating of the base. Two phenomena contribute to the heating of the base of a PV cell: the heat due to the transfer by conduction of the solar energy radiation received by the surface of the PV cell and the heat generated inside the solar cell by various phenomena related to the movement of photogenerated electrons and holes. Thus, even if the increase of the quantity of carriers leads to improve the PV cell electrical parameters, this phenomenon also leads to the increase of some internal phenomena like thermalization, carriers braking and the carriers collisions which are sources of heating of the base of the solar cell Indeed, electrical parameters (photocurrent, photovoltage, electric power) are physical quantities related to the movement of charge carriers and also to the illumination mode, this means that changing of electrical parameters during the operation of the PV cell leads to a variation of the temperature inside the base of the PV cell. This work presents the effects of the increase of some electrical parameters (photocurrent, photovoltage, electric power) on the behaviour of the temperature of the base of a silicon PV cell under intense light illumination.

(university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2021-09-01) Khemmari, F; Benrachedi, K
Raw biosorbent waste is a cheap and environmentally friendly material that provides good cost-benefit for the industries that use it. The objective of this study is to improve the feasibility of raw local peach stones (RPS) waste for the removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solution using column system. The characterization of the adsorbent (RPS) was done by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The impact of various parameters such as flow rate (1.5,3 and 5 ml/min) and height bed (1,2 and 3 cm) on Cr(VI) adsorption onto RPS were investigated. Two models were proposed to illustrate column breakthrough curve obtained at different flow rates and bed heights. The obtained experimental results showed a better adsorption efficiency at a low flow rate (1.5 ml/min) and a bed height of 3cm. Thus this work provides the high potential of raw peach stones (RPS) for the removal of Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solution.
AN ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTS OF HERBICIDES ON THE POPULATION DENSITY OF EARTHWORMS (LUMBRICUS TERRESTRIS) IN SOIL
(university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2021-09-01) Hudu, M; Issifu, A; Abubakari Zarouk, I
Continuous burrowing, ingesting, turning, mixing, aeration and the improvement of the drainage of soil are the major roles played by earthworms in renewing soil fertility. Larger amounts of herbicides are applied to the soil continuously by farmers as they realize the importance of these herbicides. These herbicides could then accumulate to toxic levels in the soil and become lethal to microorganisms, plant, wild life and man. In this study, we sought to assess the effects of formulated products of glyphosate, atrazine and 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) on the survival and reproduction of the tropical earthworm (Lumbricus terrestris). The highest number of deaths of adult worms was recorded for 2, 4-D formulation at 0.5 mg/kg and the lowest in glyphosate formulation at 0.2 mg/kg. The general trend was that, the number of cocoons reduced with increasing concentration across all the formulations of the herbicides.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF TRANSMISSIBILITY AND CASE FATALITY RATIO OF SARS, MERS AND COVID-19 VIA A MATHEMATICAL MODELING APPROACH
(university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2021-09-01) Ayoade, A.A; Latunde, T; Folaranmi3, R.O
Coronavirus epidemics emerged in the 1960s and the world has witnessed seven coronavirus outbreaks since then. Four of the coronaviruses instigate human influenza while the rest: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV), the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) trigger severe respiratory disorders (SARS, MERS and COVID-19 respectively). The etiology of SARS, MERS and COVID-19 are similar but their epidemiology, in terms of incubation period, infectivity, case fatality ratio and the serial interval differ. In an attempt to compare the infectivity and case fatality ratio of the diseases, a mathematical model was considered for each disease. The key epidemiological quantity, the basic reproduction number, was derived for each model to examine the transmission potential of each disease. The mortality rates for the diseases were also investigated by considering the global report of COVID-19 as of October 1 2020 together with the history of SARS and MERS. Results from the computations showed that COVID-19 had the highest transmission potential and at the same time the lowest case fatality ratio. It was also revealed that COVID-19 would have wrecked more havocs had its case fatality ratio was as high as that of MERS.

(university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2021-09-01) Oladimeji, O; Oladimeji, A; Oladimeji, O
Breast cancer is the second major cause of death in the world. Breast cancer accounts for 16% of all cancer deaths worldwide. Most of the methods of detecting breast cancer very expensive and difficult such as mammography. The objective of this research paper is detecting breast cancer through blood analysis using J48 algorithm which will serve as alternative to these expensive methods. The J48 algorithm was used to classify 116 instances also,10-fold cross validation and holdout procedure were used coupled changing of random seed. Average accuracies of 84.65% and 89.99% were acquired for cross validation and holdout procedure. Although it was also discovered that Blood Glucose level is a major determinant in detecting breast cancer, it has to be combined with other attributes to make decision as a result of other health issues such as diabetes.

(university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2021-09-09) Rahal, F; Benabadji, N; Bencherif, M; Bencherif, M. M
In Algeria, t he alternative to the absence of these air pollution measurement networks can come from the recent development of electroc hemical sensor technologies for air quality monitoring which arouses a certain interest because of their miniaturization, low energy consumption and low cost. We developed a low cost outdoor carbon monoxide analyzer called APOMOS (Air pollution Monitoring System) based on electrochemical sensor managed by microcontroller. In order to validate the APOMOS system, the recorded measurements are compared with measurements taken by a conventional analyzer. Comparison of the measurements resulting from conventiona l analyzer and those resulting from the APOMOS system gives a coefficient of determination of 98.39 %.

(university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2021-09-01) Hadjela, A; Annab, R; Seghir*, K
The objective of this work is to determine the importance of the five partial sub-watersheds that penetrate the city of Tébessa and their water networks in the “Oued El Kabir” watershed , belonging to the semi-arid climate Characterized by torrential rains constituting a natural danger, in terms of the real dimensions of the floods, especially since the hydromorphological characteristics of the valleys are not clear on the ground, because of the urban expansion which carried them away. The study was based on the morphometric and cartographic approach which allows the comparison of sub-watersheds between them, through 12 indicators, to determine the most influential sub- watersheds using GIS and remote sensing The results showed that the “ennagues” sub-watershed is the most dangerous for the city, it is a priority for its protection, and the need to manage the most vulnerable parts
GENETIC DIVERSITY ANALYSIS OF TUNISIAN OLIVE CULTIVAR BY SNP MARKERS
(university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2021-09-01) Ayadi, N; Ben Ayed, R; Rebai, A
To study the genetic diversity of 17 olive tree cultivars (Olea Europaea L.) sampled from different Mediterranean regions, we screened three SNP markers (ACP-1, ANTHO3, SOD) located in three different genes. The genotypes of the sampled cultivars were depicted via the genotyping analysis. The dendrogram based on cultivar genotypes generated by SNP markers revealed three clusters which were consistent with the established classification. In addition, we compared the results obtained with agro-morphological and chemical data using bioinformatic analyses. This work offers a more relevant classification of the genetic classification of the Tunisian olive cultivars
THE GEOGRAPHY OF COVID-19 IN ALGERIA: IN SEARCH OF DEMOGRAPHICAL PARAMETERS OF VULNERABILITY
(university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2021-09-01) Mazri-Benarioua, M; Chettah, S
The pandemic spread of Covid-19 is worth examining by the geographic eye in order to highlight the spatial dimension of this propagation. The geographical approach is mainly convened to observe some of the territorializing aspects of coronavirus, through which it becomes possible to define the territorial specificities that intervene as vectors of vulnerability to the pandemic. Claiming to be one of the first geographical researches on Covid-19 in Algeria, this article proposes to question the correlated relationship between its propagation dynamics and the spatial and demographic characteristics of pandemic territories. The objective is to understand the behaviors of vulnerability or resistance of these territories, via geographical parameters. Such an understanding is principally useful in health prevention and action strategies.
MOBILIZATION OF TRANS-CINNAMIC ACID, PRECURSOR OF LIGNINS IN DATE PALM ROOTS OVER A COMPATIBLE INTERACTION WITH THE PATHOGENIC AGENT OF BAYOUD DISEASE, FUSARIUM OXYSPORUM F. SP. ALBEDINIS
(university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2021-09-01) Boucenna-Mouzali, B; Gaceb-Terrak, R; Azouaoui-Ait Kettout, T; Touam, D; Rahmania, F
Bayoud disease of date palm Phoenix dactylifera L. is the result of specific interactions established between this plant and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis (F.o.a.). Facing this aggression, the host plant uses its constitutive preventive system and also defense mechanisms triggered by the pathogen. Our work is based on the identification of secondary metabolites produced during this confrontation in date palm roots. Our results show that during infection, susceptible cultivar accumulates considerable proportions of para-hydroxybenzoic acid. In soils infested by F.o.a., a significant decrease of para-hydroxybenzoic acid and an accumulation of para-hydroxycinnamic acid were observed in the roots of resistant cultivar. The analysis we realized shows that preferential orientation of the precursor “trans-cinnamic acid” of phenolic metabolism is activated in the root in contact with the causative agent of Bayoud. It also shows the presence of a greatest amount of lignin in resistant cultivar roots when compared with the susceptible ones.

RAYLEIGH-BENARD CONVECTION STUDY IN A CAVITY FOR A SHEAR THINNING FLUID
(university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2021-09-01) Ali Benyahia, B; Ait Messouadene, N
Rayleigh-Bénard's convection is a classic problem of heat transfer. Since the 1900s, studies for Newtonian fluids have been widely developed in this field and phenomena well understood. On the other hand, the complexity of non-Newtonian behavior makes the number of studies much lower. Among the non-Newtonian behavior, the shear-thinning fluid studies are even rarer. This work focuses on a numerical study of natural convection for a non-Newtonian fluid shear thinning, in the Rayleigh-Bénard configuration. The Carreau-Yasuda model describes the shear thinning behavior. The convective flow considered is confined in a cavity, which is subjected to a vertical temperature gradient, heated from below and cooled from above. The transport equations are discretized by the finite volume method and are solved numerically using a CFD code: "Ansys Fluent".The influence of the control parameters on the flow and heat transfer such as the Rayleigh 𝑅𝑎 number, the aspect ratio, 𝐴, the Prandtl numbers, 𝑃𝑟, the power index 𝑛 and the time constant 𝐸, are studied.

RUIN PROBABILITY OF INSURANCE COMPANIES IN NIGERIA USING MODEL WITH ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT: PRE AND POST CAPITALIZATION ANALYSIS
(university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2021-09-01) Oseni, B M
The behavior of the reserve of insurance firms in Nigeria from 1996 to 2011 is investigated using ruin model with economic environment. The investment po rtfolios are classified according t o the types of returns expected: Investments with fixed returns and investments with stochastic returns. Against the usual ways of monitoring the performances of insurance companies using regression and correlation, a ris k reserve model in economic environ ment is used. The ruin probability is determined from the integro differential equation for the model. The results show that there has been a positive growth in the reserve before recapitalization, though the rate of grow th of the reserve after recapitaliz ation is higher. The total probability of ruin shows that there is a drop in the probability of ruin after recapitalization. Also, the ruin probabilities show that companies are more liable to get ruined from investment t han from claims after the recapita lization against the converse before recapitalization.
