description: Diese Dissertation behandelt Probleme um die Benutzbarkeit von automatisierter Constant-Time Analyse und Reproduzierbarkeit von Software. Die Probleme werden aus Sichtweise des Faktor Mensch betrachtet und führen zu vorgeschlagenen Verbesserungen. Die hauptsächlichen Erkenntnisse sind, dass die meisten Entwickler:innen standardmäßig sichere Software bevorzugen, die deterministisch gebaut wird, macht, was von ihr erwartet wird, einfach analysiert werden kann und alle Sicherheitsanforderungen erfüllt. Die Meisten von ihnen werden jedoch nicht dafür bezahlt dies alles herzustellen und selbst wenn, dann ist nicht genug Personal vorhanden um alle Probleme zu beheben. Die akademische Forschung zeigt mögliche Lösungen auf, aber ihre Ergebnisse sind eher Prototypen anstatt langfristig wartbare Software, die bei den täglichen Arbeiten hilft.Unsere Forschungsergebnisse zeigen, dass es für gute Benutzbarkeit bei diesen Anforderungen notwendig ist über die Arbeit von Hobby-Softwareentwickler:innen nachzudenken und was sie benötigen, um weiterhin die grundlegende Software und alles von ihr Abhängende für weitere vierzig Jahre funktionsfähig zu erhalten.
description: This dissertation is about problems in the usability of automated Constant-Time analysis and reproducible builds of software. The problems are handled from a viewpoint of Human Factors research and lead to recommeded changes. The main findings of this dissertation are that most developers would prefer to have software that is secure by default and can be built deterministically, does what they expect it to do, can be analyzed easily, and fulfills all security requirements. Alas, most of them don't get paid to do that and even if they are, they are lack the numbers to fix all problems. Academic research highlights possible solutions, but its outputs are more like proof-of-concept prototypes instead of long-time maintainable and effective software.Our work finds that thinking about the work that hobbyist software developers and maintainers do, and usability for these specific types of requirements is necessary for them to keep making our most basic software dependencies work for another forty years.

description: We consider the massless Rarita-Schwinger (RS) LV QED. In this theory, we introduce the gauge fixing to obtain the propagator for the RS field, and calculate the Carroll-Field-Jackiw term, which turns out to be finite and ambiguous, and only in one calculation scheme, based on the nonlinear gauge framework, the gauge independence of the result is achieved.

description: BackgroundThough rare, CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) emergencies pose a significant threat to public health and can escalate into cross-border crises. These risks are amplified in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region due to industrial advancements and rising conflicts. Hence, beyond the provision of educational workshops aimed at frontline clinical staff, fortifying the health sector’s preparedness for CBRN emergencies in this region becomes imperative. Previous work has explored paramedic staff perception of Qatar’s pre-hospital system readiness to respond to CBRN incidents, but concentrating on a single country may not be sufficient to deal with larger-scale disasters and may not be indicative of the neighboring countries’ readiness. This study explored international disaster management experts’ perspectives regarding collaborative efforts within the MENA healthcare sector to effectively address CBRN threats.MethodsA modified interview approach was employed using the Phonic® application to gather insights from disaster medicine experts based in the MENA region. The data were subsequently analyzed using thematic analysis and inductive coding using the NVivo12 software.ResultsOut of 92 experts initially approached, 35 consented to take part in the study, with data saturation reached at 29 responses. Five themes emerged: the looming threat of CBRN? related incidents, the necessity for better mass gathering management, inadequacies in national practice and policy, shortcomings in hospital preparedness, and the imperative need for international cooperation (Figure 1). Additionally, specific recommendations were made, such as establishing liaison officer positions across the MENA countries.ConclusionThere was broad agreement among the participants on the urgency for a collaborative MENA-wide preparedness plan to deal with potential CBRN emergencies. Inspirational cues were taken from existing European Union strategies, suggesting avenues for future coordination, potentially in collaboration with international bodies such as the World Health Organization.

description: The region of Boudenib, located in the Guir basin, in the south-eastern Morocco contains, in terms of agricultural land, significant hydraulic potential and water resources. These resources make it possible to develop collective lands, in the form of palm groves.TheGuir basin contains two main aquifers: the alluvial Plio-Quaternary (unconfined aquifer) and the sandstone Senonian (confined aquifer). The latter isconsidered to be the largestaquifer in arid zones located in southeasternMorocco. Nevertheless, it is confronted with major natural and anthropogenic pressures.Due to its good hydrodynamic characteristics and its accessibility, the Senonian aquifer is of particular interest for its exploitation in the form of pumping wells. Manyboreholes have testedthisaquifer at varyingdepths. The Senonian aquifer shows a variable lithology, consisting of fine sands and red clays more or less sandy or gypseous, usually interspersed with sandstone banks with depths generally ranging from 10 to 70 m.The hydrodynamic modeling of the Senonian aquifer was carried out in order to follow the responses of this aquifer with respect to the pumping wells scenarios for irrigation of palm groves.The goal is to have elements of decision-making support for the monitoring and accompaniment of agricultural investments in the region of Boudenib.

description: In the villages of Diannah and Kabadio, the use of pesticides has tremendously increased; and this has allowed to mitigate the harmful effects on crops to improve or increase yields. This research paper aims at understanding the factors of poisoning and sanitary risks resulting from the use of pesticides in the two places mentioned above. The investigations made in the framework of this study have revealed bad uses of pesticides on the part of farmers who only have a little knowledge of the chemical products. This bad use of pesticides can lead to some risks of environmental pollutions and even cause health problems and the prevalence of many pathologies such as poisoning, mental and neurological disorders, breathing troubles and chronic lung diseases. At least 36 types of chemical products have been mentioned by farmers. In addition, an important rate of 42% of farmers using frequently the products have no idea on them. Some of the pesticides like Malathion (organophosphorus) treated very toxic, are prohibited products. The plant care products (pesticides) like Goodmatox 500EC, Matox plus 500EC, Pyrical 5G, contain living organic matter consist of Malathion belonging to the whole organophosphorus family. Our survey revealed that 13,2% of farmers use pesticides hold in the high steem. Then, the Dicofol 480EC (organophosphorus next to DDT) and some products such as Furadan 480EC are found again in Diannah and Kabadio’s farmers yet these two products are not respectively allow to the waterlogging of splash water (National service of health) and farmer’s experimentation like senegalese institute of farmer’s research name (ISRA).

description: Intelligent decisions in response to external informative input can allow organisms to achieve their biological goals while spending very little of their own resources. In this paper, we develop and study a minimal model for a navigational task, performed by an otherwise completely motorless particle that possesses the ability of \textit{hitchhiking} in a bath of active Brownian particles (ABPs). Hitchhiking refers to identifying and attaching to suitable surrounding bath particles. Using a reinforcement learning algorithm, such an agent, which we refer to as intelligent hitchhiking particle (IHP), is enabled to persistently navigate in the desired direction. This relatively simple IHP can also anticipate and react to characteristic motion patterns of their hosts, which we exemplify for a bath of chiral ABPs (cABPs). To demonstrate that the persistent motion of the IHP will outperform that of the bath particles in view of long-time ballistic motion, we calculate the mean-squared displacement and discuss its dependence on the density and persistence time of the bath ABPs by means of an analytic model.

description: The ferromagnetic phase of Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$ is widely considered to be a topological Weyl semimetal, with evidence for momentum-space monopoles of Berry curvature from transport and spectroscopic probes. As the bandstructure is highly sensitive to the magnetic order, attention has focused on anomalies in magnetization, susceptibility and transport measurements that are seen well below the Curie temperature, leading to speculation that a "hidden" phase coexists with ferromagnetism. Here we report spatially-resolved measurements by Kerr effect microscopy that identify this phase. We find that the anomalies coincide with a deep minimum in domain wall (DW) mobility, indicating a crossover between two regimes of DW propagation. We demonstrate that this crossover is a manifestation of a 2D phase transition that occurs within the DW, in which the magnetization texture changes from continuous rotation to unidirectional variation. We propose that the existence of this 2D transition deep within the ferromagnetic state of the bulk is a consequence of a giant quality factor for magnetocrystalline anisotropy unique to this compound. This work broadens the horizon of the conventional binary classification of DWs into Bloch and Néel walls, and suggests new strategies for manipulation of domain walls and their role in electron and spin transport.

description: Morocco is characterized by a predominantly semi-arid climate with a strong Mediterranean influence. However, semi-arid and Mediterranean regions should be particularly vulnerable to climate change. A change in rainfall should result in a change in water availability. The plain of Saïs presents a zone of great water potential, unfortunately, very solicited by a very consuming agricultural activity. This article aims to decipher the impact of climate change on water resources in the study area, draining two adjacent watersheds: Oued Fez in the East (879 km²) and Mikkes in the West (1513 km²). These two watersheds originate at the level of the Causes of the Middle Atlas and cross the plain of Saïs towards the Prerifaines wrinkles. Several statistical methods are adopted to achieve our goal.

description: BackgroundIt is critical to proactively manage spectator flow at event venues where mass?gatherings occur. Although a function of venue security, medical teams are key role players in safety management. A vulnerable person (VP) can be defined as a minor or a person with either a physical and or mental disability, pregnant females, elderly, groups with minors, and infants. Stampedes or riots at sporting events are significant concerns to events’ management teams. VP’s are at higher risk of injury in crowded conditions than any other spectators.ObservationsDuring the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM, each site had a venue operations centre (VOC) within which a multidisciplinary team was responsible for operations oversight. The Al Khor and Industrial Area Fan zones were paired sites. The emergency medical service venue commanders (EMSVC) rotated between these two sites allowing for an in-depth familiarity with site layouts, operations, stakeholders, and staff. The EMSVC actively utilized closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance to identify VP’s. The close collaboration between security and medical commanders, enabled efficient decision-making and plan implementation. When required additional inflow gates, for VP’s were opened in the interest of safety. Furthermore, medical teams were informed and positioned in close proximity to the VP’s.FindingsCCTV was instrumental in safeguarding VP’s during the recent World Cup in Qatar, within a multidisciplinary approach.3 Communication was a critical factor between the VOC and the front-line teams. VP’s frequently moved through the fan zone to specific areas. Our findings from using CCTV as an emergency management tool is summarized in Table 1.ConclusionThe cohesion of a multidisciplinary team is imperative to operations. The VOC needs to contend with several unanticipated challenges and will need to action decisions promptly. From our experience, the expanded utilization of CCTV is valuable in event management.

After pointing out that Fibonacci numbers are nothing but upward diagonal sums of Pascal triangle, we generalize the triangular arrays in question from the natural sequence based to arithmetically progressive sequences based and call their upward diagonal sum Fibonacci values. After looking at more triangular arrays based on other sequences such as binomial coefficients and Fibonacci numbers, we eventually conclude that such construction of triangular arrays works with any underlying sequence base. ...............KEYWORDS: Binomial coefficient, Stirling number, Lah number, Sum, Alternate sum, Orthogonal product, Natural sequence, Arithmetically progressive sequence, Recursion, Fibonacci number, upward diagonal, q-Gaussian coefficient.

description: The energy plays an important role in the industrialization of the society. Biogas is a green energy that is booming and garnered attention of the energy sector. This work focuses on the valorization of biogas generated by the biodegradation of household waste from the former Landfill of Great Agadir-Morocco. The biogas composition is studied in terms of CH4, CO2, O2 and H2S by analyzing the samples taken at five control stations connecting to the 47 wells. The analysis indicate that this biogas is composed in average value of: 50.3% of methane (CH4), 24.9% of carbon dioxide (CO2), 0.9% of oxygen (O2) and 15.56 ppm hydrogen sulfide (H2S). In the last part, this biogas, is valorized in the form of heat, to treat the leachates from the actual landfield of Greater Agadir. The forced evaporation of leachates leads to condensate water with few pollutants, which can be reused and reduced residues that can be recycled in the landfill.

description: In breast surgical practice, drawing is part of the preoperative planning procedure and is essential for a successful operation. In this study, we design a pipeline to assist surgeons with patient-specific breast surgical drawings. We use a deformable torso model containing the surgical patterns to match any breast surface scan. To be compatible with surgical timing, we build an articulated model through a skinning process coupled with shape deformers to enhance a fast registration process. On one hand, the scalable bones of the skinning account for pose and morphological variations of the patients. On the other hand, pre-designed artistic blendshapes create a linear space for guaranteeing anatomical variations. Then, we apply meaningful constraints to the model to find a trade-off between precision and speed. The experiments were conducted on 7 patients, in 2 different poses (prone and supine) with a breast size ranging from 36A and 42C (US/UK bra sizing). The acquisitions were obtained using the depth camera Structure Sensor, and the breast scans were acquired in less than 1 minute. The result is a registration method converging within a few seconds (3 maximum), reaching a Mean Absolute Error of 2.3 mm for mesh registration and 8.0 mm for breast anatomical landmarks. Compared to the existing literature, our model can be personalized and does not require any database. Finally, our registered model can be used to transfer surgical reference patterns onto any patient in any position.

Year: 2019
Subjects: Tazarine basin, GIS, Hydrology, Morphology, Hydrodynamic.

description: The Tazarine basin, located in the South-East of Morocco, is subject to climate change, which occurs mainly in arid zones. This basin is selected as a pilot basin to better characterize its hydrological regime and better understand its hydrodynamic behavior under the influence of particular meteorological phenomena. Treatments carried out using the digital terrain model (DTM) were able to define the main characteristic parameters of the basin and to trace the watershed limit and the state of the watershed evolution by means of hypsometry. The hydrographic network of the Tazarine watershed is largely influenced by its lithostratigraphy and geological structure. Water infiltration is very important in the northern hydrographic units (sub-basins SB3, SB5, SB7 and SB8), and the runoff is very impressive in the sub-basins located in the South (sub-basins SB1, SB2, SB7 and SB10).

description: The Gourramaaquifer is located in the eastern High Atlas of Morocco. The geological formations consist mainly of calcareous-dolomitic and marls of the Jurassic. Limestones play a regulatory role that results in sustained low flow rates that are derived for irrigation. Springs and water withdrawals are the main outputs of the Jurassic aquifer. The total flow of springs catching the Jurassic aquifer is estimated at nearly 790 l/s.The assessment of groundwater vulnerability is a fundamental approach to sustainable environmental management, its role is to enable decision-makers to the better manage the use of underground resources and to analyze the information needed for the protection of thegroundwater against the threat of natural or man-made pollution. In this context, the hydrodynamic characteristics of the Quaternary aquifer and its importance in socio-economic development in the upper Guir Basin lead us to deal with this subject for establishment of two vulnerability maps of this aquifer by the DRASTIC method and the P.R.K methodological approach.These approaches, based on the principle of class system parametric methods, have for main objective to design two index cards related to the intrinsic vulnerability of the Gourramahydrogeological system, by gathering the global indices by the classes of each method.

description: The fast-slow dynamics of an eco-evolutionary system are studied, where we consider the feedback actions of environmental resources that are classified into those that are self-renewing and those externally supplied. We show although these two types of resources are drastically different, the resulting closed-loop systems bear close resemblances, which include the same equilibria and their stability conditions on the boundary of the phase space, and the similar appearances of equilibria in the interior. After closer examination of specific choices of parameter values, we disclose that the global dynamical behaviors of the two types of closed-loop systems can be fundamentally different in terms of limit cycles: the system with self-renewing resources undergoes a generalized Hopf bifurcation such that one stable limit cycle and one unstable limit cycle can coexist; the system with externally supplied resources can only have the stable limit cycle induced by a supercritical Hopf bifurcation. Finally, the explorative analysis is carried out to show the discovered dynamic behaviors are robust in even larger parameter space.

description: BackgroundThe Ambulance Service in Qatar often receives 999 emergency calls that do not necessarily result in patient transportation to a medical facility. This study aimed to comprehensively examine the various elements affecting patient conveyance decisions in Qatar during 2023, focusing on socio-cultural influences, clinical uncertainties, and operational aspects.MethodsA retrospective, quantitative analysis was conducted on a data set comprising 93,712 emergency calls made to the Hamad Medical Corporation Ambulance Service (HMCAS) 999 emergency medical dispatch centre from January to May 2023. "Handover", the outcome variable (patient transported or not), and other predictors like socio-demographics and clinical information were assessed. Analytical techniques were utilised, including heatmaps (aggregated tabular representation of transportation decision outcomes based on various factors) and scatter plots (graphical representation over time of various parameters).ResultsIn this study, 23.95% (N=21,194) of the emergency calls did not result in patient transportation to a medical facility, whilst 76.05% (N=67,285) led to patient conveyance. Heatmaps (Figure 1) demonstrated significant differences in demographic variables between the transported and non-transported groups and the dispatch types. Scatter plots (Figure 2) showed that the median response time aligns with international benchmarks.ConclusionThe study sheds light on the intricate variables affecting pre-hospital patient conveyance decisions in Qatar. Patterns such as male dominance and specific timing for EMS activities were noted, underlining the need for a comprehensive patient assessment that goes beyond medical histories. Additional investigations are needed to examine the duration spent with the patient until the ambulance becomes available for another 999 call. The findings prompt further analysis, research, and innovative approaches to enhance the standards of pre-hospital care delivery.

description: The success of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) depends in part on the capacity of States and Governments, local and regional authorities, development partners and civil society to mobilize people, to communicate about the SDGs and to ensure that people fully support the SDGs. Thus, the commitment made by the Heads of State and Government in adopting this development agenda in September 2015 is to « Leave No One Behind ». Its implementation implies in fact, and as Article 55 of the UN General Assembly resolution on Agenda 2030 suggests, the contextualization of the SDGs at the level of each State-Part for the realization of the basic needs of the people at the base. This research builds on the Municipality of Abomey-Calavi, one of Benin’s seventy-seven municipalities, to examine the implementation of the SDG environment component. More explicitly, it intends to establish by means of appropriate tools and techniques a diagnosis of the appropriation of environmental targets of the SDGs in this commune, which for reminder is the most populous of the country. This research, on the one hand, showed that not all the environmental targets of the nationally prioritized SDGs are priorities for the municipality of Abomey-Calavi, and indeed all the environmental SDG indicators are not really filled in this municipality. On the other hand, the availability at national level of a number of policy documents and strategies related to the SDGs, as well as local and regional authorities in general and the municipality of Abomey-Calavi in particular should be able to use; since stakeholders in their elaborations, to really promote at the local level the achievement of the environmental targets of the SDGs.

description: Serverless computing has emerged as a prominent paradigm, with a significant adoption rate among cloud customers. While this model offers advantages such as abstraction from the deployment and resource scheduling, it also poses limitations in handling complex use cases due to the restricted nature of individual functions. Serverless workflows address this limitation by orchestrating multiple functions into a cohesive application. However, existing serverless workflow platforms exhibit significant differences in their programming models and infrastructure, making fair and consistent performance evaluations difficult in practice. To address this gap, we propose the first serverless workflow benchmarking suite SeBS-Flow, providing a platform-agnostic workflow model that enables consistent benchmarking across various platforms. SeBS-Flow includes six real-world application benchmarks and four microbenchmarks representing different computational patterns. We conduct comprehensive evaluations on three major cloud platforms, assessing performance, cost, scalability, and runtime deviations. We make our benchmark suite open-source, enabling rigorous and comparable evaluations of serverless workflows over time.
