The BuOH fractions prepared from 80% MeOH extract of the leaves from the endemic Saharan tree Argania spinosa (L.) Skeels exhibited the most potent antioxidant capacity ( IC50 = 2.41 ± 0.38 g/mL for DPPH and 7.95 ± 0.54 g/mL for superoxide anion radical), compared to the EtOAc and CHCl3 fractions. The results showed that BuOH extract fraction exhibited a strong antioxidant activity and had the most potent scavenging abilities which may be correlated to the presence of Phenolic compounds.
EFFECT OF SALINITY ON THE PHYSIOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR OF THE OLIVE TREE (VARIETY SIGOISE
(university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2019-01-01) Boualem, S; Boutaleb, F; Ababou, A; Gacem, F
Salinity is a major problem directly affecting the ecological balance and the development of agriculture in the Mediterranean basin, particularly North Africa. This phenomenon is considered as the most important abiotic factor limiting crops growth and productivity, degrading and polluting soils in arid and semi-arid. In order to study the influence of salinity, on the physiological parameters and to assess the potential of adaptation of the olive tree in a saline environment, three parcels containing the Sigoise variety and subject to different degrees of salinity were selected: Parcel 1 (non-saline); Parcel 2 (saline); Parcel 3 (very saline). Under a saline constraint, the results showed two contrasting tendencies, an intense increase in the content of proline, sodium (Na+) and chlorophyll (b), while water content, potassium and chlorophyll (a) decreased strongly with increasing salinity.

EVALUATION OF THE QUALITY OF AN INTELLIGENT AND SUSTAINABLE TOURIST URBAN SYSTEM IN TLEMCEN
(university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2019-01-01) Moulay, N; Bekkouche, A
This article proposes the evaluation of a tourist urban system "Plateau LallaSetti, Tlemcen" in a global framework for the elaboration of a territorial diagnosis with a view to taking charge of urban complexity. The integrated "Quality Safety Environment" approach, which is very suitable for dealing with the complexity of urban systems, aims to introduce the site to urban sustainability by putting the principles of sustainable development by involving all stakeholders in decision-making through participatory governance by introducing the notion of urban intelligence. This approach guarantees a consensus upstream of the decision-making process, reducing the likelihood of conflict situations linked to contradictory positions of its actors compared the main orientations governing the urban project.
SYNTHESIS, ELECTROCHEMICAL AND HETEROGENEOUS ELECTROCATALYTIC BEHAVIORS OF A NOVEL NON SYMMETRICAL COPPER(II) COMPLEX
(university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2019-01-01) Bounab, N; Ourari, A; Derafa, W; Aggoun, D
We describe in this paper the synthesis of new unsymmetrical tetradentate copper(II) Schiff base complex, prepared from tridentate Schiff base ligand (HL) and pyridine molecule. This new copper complex was identified by various physicochemical characteristics such as elemental analysis (EA), FT-IR, UV-Vis, XPS analysis and thermogravimetry (TG/DTG). The electrochemical behavior of the copper(II) complex was investigated by cyclic voltammetry in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). These experiments have been allowed to obtain new conducting polymeric films, prepared by successive cycling at the suitable potentials. These polymeric films containing metallic centers were studied to evaluate their electrocatalytical performances in which copper (II) ions were used as electrocatalysts in the heterogeneous conditions for the electroreduction of 1,4-dibromobutane.

In this research work poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC), ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), and Maghnite nanoclay (MGT) were used to prepare PVC/EVA nanocomposites. The MGT clay was intercalated with octadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (ODTMA) and grafted with γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES). The blend nanocomposites were prepared through the melt mixing of PVC/EVA blend at a weight ratio of 50/50 (wt%/wt%) with 20 wt% of compatibilizer; ethylene vinyl acetate grafted with an alcohol (EVA-g-OH) and 3 wt% of modified MGT clay using a Brabender plastograph. The nanocomposites so prepared were characterized using X-ray diffraction, TGA/DTA, mechanical tests and SEM. The results showed that when PVC was blended with EVA, with the modified MGT and with the compatibilizer, synergistic effects in the thermal stability and mechanical properties were observed.

(university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2019-01-01) Bounekta, O; Doufnoune, R; Ourari, A; Riahi, F; Haddaoui, N
The adsorption of four silanes, namely: N-(2-Aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (AEAPTMS), 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS), allyltrimethoxysilane (ATMS), N-2-[(N-vinylbenzylamino)ethyl]-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane hydrochloride (CVBS) onto the surface of silica nanoparticles has been studied using water/ethanol (5/95, v/v) mixture. Four experimental parameters were explored for the grafting of the silanes: pH, concentration, time, and temperature. Possible interactions between the silanes and the surface of silica were investigated by means of FT-IR Spectroscopy. The FT-IR analyses confirmed the effectiveness of the silanization of the silica surface. The amount of the adsorbed silane on the silica nanoparticles appeared to be influenced by the initial concentration of the silane, pH, time and temperature of modification.

(university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2019-01-01) Dahmani, K; Belloul, M; Kherroub, D. E
The scale formation in heat transfer surfaces in seawater desalination plants by multi stage flash processes (MSF). This scale is formed during the precipitation of salts containing in seawater such as calcium and magnesium carbonates. The pretreatment is based on the removal of the calcium and magnesium cations from seawater, using zeolite as cation exchanger and precipitator agents as: lime, soda ash, and mixture of soda ash with soda. DRX, SEM, and EDX analyses were employed to characterize the zeolite before and after pretreatment so as to demonstrate the change composition on the zeolite surface. The results revealed that the pretreatment by a mixture of soda ash (13g/L) and soda (4g/L) favor the precipitation of calcium and magnesium ions. The calcium and magnesium ion concentrations in seawater were reduced, respectively, from 620 mg/L and 644 mg/L to 5 mg/L and 9.11 mg/L
GRAPHOANALYTIC DETERMINATION OF PARAMETERS RELAXATION DEFORMATION OF ROCKS BY DATA OF DEVELOPMENT OF DEPOSITS
(university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2019-01-01) Kazymov, B. Z
As a rule, to determine the deformation parameters of rocks, the results of the interpretation of the actual data of hydro-gas-dynamic studies of wells are used in the non-static mode. In the article, a technique different from this approach for determining the parameters of the relaxation deformation of rocks according to the data of the development of gas deposits is given. The proposed technique is characterized by its versatility due to the fact that, in contrast to the methods based on specially conducted hydro-gas-dynamic studies of wells, the field development data is used, and also changes in the real properties of the reservoir system, as saturation and super-compressibility factors of the gas
STRUCTURAL AND ELECTROCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF Fe-DOPED NiAl2O4 OXIDES
(university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2019-01-01) Tibermacine, W; Omari, M
A new spinel solid solution system of Ni1-xFexAl2O4 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) was synthesized through sol-gel method. The effect of Fe doping on the nickel aluminate prepared was investigated. The synthesized powders were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical measurements. From the preceding analysis, it can be shown that compounds show a single spinel phase in the temperature range 650-1000°C and the solubility of iron in the NiAl2O4 structure was limited to samples with the iron content x < 0.6. The electrochemical measurements indicate that the catalytic activity is strongly influenced by iron doping. The highest electrode performance is achieved with Ni0.7Fe0.3Al2O4 (i=86.84 mA/cm2) which is ~ 27 times greater than that of NiAl2O4 ( i=3.22 mA/cm2) at E= +0.8V. After one hundred cycles, the stability of the doped electrode with 30% of iron is much better than the undoped electrode

Reducing energy consumption is an increasingly important issue for the residential sector. As a result, attention to thermal insulation systems for buildings has increased in recent years. The use of phase change materials (PCMs) is an attractive way for the development of energy-efficient buildings by integrating with the walls, ceiling and floor, which offers considerable possibilities for insulation and to ensure a certain thermal comfort, because of their high storage density. This paper summarizes the essential knowledge on solid-liquid phase change theory, PCM classification, some previous work on storage of latent thermal energy in buildings, covering experimental and numerical studies with different applications of PCMs to buildings.
CHARACTERIZATION OF UNDERLYING LAYER STABILIZATION MATERIAL FOR MECHANISTIC-EMPIRICAL DESIGN OF RIGID PAVEMENTS
(university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2019-01-01) Saadatinezhad, M; Hasanzadeh, A; Kateb, M
The Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) is applied to calculate pavement responses against the cumulative damage over time, taking into account the general properties of materials, traffic, environmental conditions and pavement structure. The procedure described in the guide was used in this paper to provide appropriate design alternatives for the existing conditions. The two most common types of rigid pavements for highways, Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement (CRCP) and Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement (JPCP) were considered in the design. The base layer material was chosen in such a way that a reasonable design life and distress level can be obtained. For each type of chemical stabilization techniques of the underlying layers, the satisfactory design cases were proposed based on the M-E design procedure. For CRCP, the results were also compared with those obtained from the procedure suggested by Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) pavement design manual.
