description: Les essais contrôlés randomisés sont des études permettant de mettre en évidence la supériorité d’un traitement par rapport à un traitement de référence. Ils constituent un outil majeur, pour l’application de l’évidence based medicine. Le but de cette note méthodologique est d’apporter les outils nécessaires à une bonne lecture critique de ce type d’essai. L’objectif de l’essai doit être fixé et les résultats obtenus doivent répondre à l’objectif par l’intermédiaire d’un critère de jugement principal pertinent et clairement défini. Les patients inclus doivent être randomisés et suivis de façon comparable dans les deux groupes. Le calcul du nombre de sujets nécessaires doit être effectué afin que l’étude soit assez puissante pour mettre en évidence une efficacité réelle du traitement. Le double aveugle et l’analyse en intention de traiter sont d’autres éléments permettant la gestion des biais liées aux ECR. Le clinicien se doit donc d’être édifié sur tous les aspects méthodologiques, des méthodes statistiques employées afin d’établir la pertinence clinique du traitement évalué.

description: Progress in miniaturized technology allows us to control physical systems at nanoscale with remarkable precision. Experimental advancements have sparked interest in control problems in stochastic thermodynamics, typically concerning a time-dependent potential applied to a nanoparticle to reach a target stationary state in a given time with minimal energy cost. We study this problem for a particle subject to thermal fluctuations in a regime that takes into account the effects of inertia, and, building on the results of a previous work, provide a numerical method to find optimal controls even for non-Gaussian initial and final conditions, corresponding to non-harmonic confinements. The control protocol and the time-dependent position distribution are qualitatively different from the corresponding overdamped limit: in particular, a symmetry of the boundary conditions, which is preserved in the absence of inertia, turns out to be broken in the underdamped regime. We also show that the momentum mean tends to a constant value along the trajectory, except close to the boundary, while the evolution of the position mean and of the second moments is highly non-trivial. Our results also support that the lower bound on the optimal entropy production computed from the overdamped case is tight in the adiabatic limit.

description: The territory is defined by its mode of organization and how the constituent actors coordinate within it. Thus, in the context of the government retreat and subsidiarity, territorial engineering (TE), often associated with monitoring or controlling information, is invoked as the government slides towards governance. It is built on the principles of synchronized collective action, shared information systems, and transversal partnerships amongst local actors that collaborate in networks that foster synergy. Our review of the literature aims to demonstrate that the capacity of actors to develop and manage territorial projects is highly dependent on the amount of ingenuity they can mobilize. Therefore, this work highlights the importance of information systems that provide relevant and usable data for effective local public action.

description: In today’s fast-paced and interconnected world, where human–computer interaction is an integral component of daily life, the ability to recognize and understand human emotions has emerged as a crucial facet of technological advancement. However, human emotion, a complex interplay of physiological, psychological, and social factors, poses a formidable challenge even for other humans to comprehend accurately. With the emergence of voice assistants and other speech-based applications, it has become essential to improve audio-based emotion expression. However, there is a lack of specificity and agreement in current emotion annotation practice, as evidenced by conflicting labels in many human-annotated emotional datasets for the same speech segments. Previous studies have had to filter out these conflicts and, therefore, a large portion of the collected data has been considered unusable. In this study, we aimed to improve the accuracy of computational prediction of uncertain emotion labels by utilizing high-confidence emotion labelled speech segments from the IEMOCAP emotion dataset. We implemented an audio-based emotion recognition model using bag of audio word encoding (BoAW) to obtain a representation of audio aspects of emotion in speech with state-of-the-art recurrent neural network models. Our approach improved the state-of-the-art audio-based emotion recognition with a 61.09% accuracy rate, an improvement of 1.02% over the BiDialogueRNN model and 1.72% over the EmoCaps multi-modal emotion recognition models. In comparison to human annotation, our approach achieved similar results in identifying positive and negative emotions. Furthermore, it has proven effective in accurately recognizing the sentiment of uncertain emotion segments that were previously considered unusable in other studies. Improvements in audio emotion recognition could have implications in voice-based assistants, healthcare, and other industrial applications that benefit from automated communication.

description: Emerging non-volatile memories (eNVMs) face problems such as insufficient ROFF/RON-ratio and limited memory operating window that significantly deteriorate the precision of multiply-accumulate computations (MACs), the core computation of artificial intelligence algorithms, using crossbar-based analogue resistive compute-in-memory (CIM) structures. Properly selecting between single-ended and pseudo-differential structures is the fundamental for the most efficient use of the advantages of a particular eNVM, where, e.g., ferroelectric field-effect-transistors (FeFETs) have a large ROFF/RON-ratio as a great advantage but a significant variability between devices due to the current technology maturity. By investigating and modelling both structures, the results demonstrate that the pseudo-differential structure requires a larger combined operating window from eNVM cells. The reason relies on a statistically enlarged state variation with an increasing number of input channels in the pseudo-differential structure, while the difference between the means of memory's state distributions remains unchanged. Compared to pseudodifferential structures, single-ended structures require a much higher ROFF/RON-ratio from resistance-switching memories, while the requirement for process variation can be relaxed. The results indicate that FeFETs can be well suited to single-ended crossbar-based structures. However, the considerable state variation of FeFETs makes the applications of FeFETs as resistive synapses hard suited into practice. After investigating existing methods, a gate-cascaded synapse with a higher ROFF/RON-ratio and a significantly enlarged operating window is proposed. This article discusses boundary conditions for using eNVMs such as FeFETs in crossbarbased analogue MAC accelerating units from a circuit design perspective.

description: The long term activity of the upwelling along the Moroccan Atlantic coast between Cape Blanc (21°N) and Cape Spartel (36°N) is investigated in this work using a monthly Ekman Upwelling Index over the period 1967-2019 (53 years). Three stations that are representative of the upwelling’s activity along the Moroccan Atlantic coast from North to South were selected in this study for analysis: ST5 (31°N-10.5°W) between Cape Sim and Cape Ghir, ST7 (29°N-10.5° W) between Cape Ghir and Cape Draa and ST12 (24.5°N-15.5°W) North Dakhla between Cape Boujdor and Cape Barbas. The results show a seasonal variability in the northern area between Cape Juby – Cape Spartel and a permanent activity mostly all the year in the southern area between Cape Juby - Cape Blanc. Strongest activities of upwelling were observed during summer seasons in the northern area, in particular over the period 1998-2003, and its activity slightly exceeded the average over the periods 1972-1977, 1980-1984, 2004-2008. The weakest upwelling activities in this region were observed in the fall-winter seasons, particularly during the periods 1967-1970, 1995-1998 and 2000-2005. In the southern area, the upwelling variations showed strong upwelling activity in summer over the periods 1967-1980 and 2009-2019, with annual and interannual variability between these two periods. This activity was slightly above average in summer over the 1981-2007 period, except for the years 1982-1983, 1988-1989, 1995-1997 and 2004-2007 where a relative downward trend was observed. Lower upwelling activities were observed in this area over the 2003-2010 period in fall /winter seasons.

description: We show that a relatively simple reasoning using von Neumann entropy inequalities yields a robust proof of the quantum Singleton bound for quantum error-correcting codes (QECC). For entanglement-assisted quantum error-correcting codes (EAQECC) and catalytic codes (CQECC), a type of generalized quantum Singleton bound [Brun et al., IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory 60(6):3073--3089 (2014)] was believed to hold for many years until recently one of us found a counterexample [MG, Phys. Rev. A 103, 020601 (2021)]. Here, we rectify this state of affairs by proving the correct generalized quantum Singleton bound, extending the above-mentioned proof method for QECC; we also prove information-theoretically tight bounds on the entanglement-communication tradeoff for EAQECC. All of the bounds relate block length $n$ and code length $k$ for given minimum distance $d$ and we show that they are robust, in the sense that they hold with small perturbations for codes which only correct most of the erasure errors of less than $d$ letters. In contrast to the classical case, the bounds take on qualitatively different forms depending on whether the minimum distance is smaller or larger than half the block length. We also provide a propagation rule: any pure QECC yields an EAQECC with the same distance and dimension, but of shorter block length.

description: Obtaining sub-chemical accuracy (1 kJ mol${}^{-1}$) for reaction energies of medium-sized gas-phase molecules is a longstanding challenge in the field of thermochemical modeling. The perturbative triples correction to CCSD, CCSD(T), constitutes an important component of all high-accuracy composite model chemistries that obtain this accuracy, but can be a roadblock in the calculation of medium to large systems due to its $\mathcal{O}(N^7)$ scaling, particularly in HEAT-like model chemistries that eschew separation of core and valance correlation. This study extends the work of Lesiuk [J. Chem. Phys. 156, 064103 (2022)] with new approximate methods and assesses the accuracy of five different approximations of (T) in the context of a subset of molecules selected from the W4-17 dataset. It is demonstrated that all of these approximate methods can achieve sub-0.1 kJ mol${}^{-1}$ accuracy with respect to canonical, density-fitted (T) contributions with a modest number of projectors. The approximation labeled $\tilde{Z}T$ appears to offer the best trade-off between cost and accuracy and shows significant promise in an order-of-magnitude reduction in the computational cost of the CCSD(T) component of high-accuracy model chemistries.

description: Diese Studie untersucht die Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen einer Umstellung des Taxi- und Mietwagengewerbes auf Emissionsfreiheit. Angesichts der steigenden Bedeutung des Klimaschutzes und der damit angestrebten Reduzierung von Treibhausgasemissionen ist es von großer Relevanz, den Verkehrssektor klimafreundlicher zu gestalten, da dieser Bereich derzeit für circa 20 % der Treibhausgasemissionen verantwortlich ist. Der Handlungsbedarf ergibt sich auch aus den rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen im Verkehrssektor, darunter das Ziel der EU, ab 2035 keine Neuwagen mit Diesel- und Benzinmotoren mehr zuzulassen und das deutsche Klimaschutzgesetz mit dem Ziel, die Treibhausgasemissionen im Verkehr bis 2030 signifikant zu senken. Die Studie analysiert zunächst den aktuellen Stand des Taxi- und Mietwagengewerbes, um die Ausgangssituation zu beleuchten und anschließend mögliche Transformationspfade aufzuzeigen. Des Weiteren werden die technischen Mittel untersucht, die zur Erreichung einer lokalen Emissionsfreiheit beitragen können, insbesondere batterieelektrische Fahrzeuge (BEVs) und Brennstoffzellenfahrzeuge (FCEVs). Die Studie berücksichtigt dabei nicht nur die technologischen Aspekte, sondern auch die praktische Umsetzbarkeit, Infrastrukturanforderungen und potenzielle Auswirkungen auf den Betriebsalltag im Taxi- und Mietwagengewerbe. Zudem werden Innovationen zum Laden von BEVs, wie spezialisierte Ladeinfrastruktur, Akku-Wechsel als Alternative zum Aufladen, Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) für Lade- und Routenplanungssysteme sowie innovative Taxistände, untersucht. Diese Studie liefert einen umfassenden Überblick über den aktuellen Stand des Gewerbes, die technologischen Möglichkeiten und die Innovationspotenziale zur Erreichung von Emissionsfreiheit im Taxi- und Mietwagengewerbe. Die Ergebnisse dienen als Grundlage für Handlungsempfehlungen und tragen dazu bei, den Verkehrssektor nachhaltiger zu gestalten und einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Klimaschutz zu leisten.

description: Dans l'environnement, le chrome se trouve principalement dans deux états d'oxydations: Cr(VI) et Cr(III). Le Cr(VI) est relativement mobile dans l'environnement et est extrêmement toxique, mutagène, tératogène et cancérogène. Or, un nombre croissant de sites pollués sont continuellement identifiés en Italie. Ainsi, le but de ce travail est d’évaluer les risques de contamination des eaux souterraines et d’insécurité sanitaire alimentaire. Cependant, le chrome hexavalent qui présente une mobilité, une solubilité et donc une biodisponibilité très élevées a une concentration de 94.41mg/kg environ 47 fois plus grande que la valeur limite pour les sols à usage domestique et 6 fois supérieure à la valeur limite pour les sols à usage industriel. La capacité d'échange cationique du sol en question est d'environ 9.6 meq.100 g-1, donc faible selon la classification des terres. Ceci, rend les cations disponibles par lessivage alors qu’une valeur trop élevée rend les cations indisponibles. En plus, la teneur en matière organique est de 24.91 g.kg-1 donc faible ce qui confirme sa faible capacité de rétention des métaux. Par conséquent, il y a un risque très élevé qu’il se retrouve dans les nappes phréatiques par lessivage et en interaction avec beaucoup d’organismes aquatiques et terrestres sans oublier l’homme.

We use dimensional regularization scheme to perturbatively calculate the effect of the $T\bar{T}$-deformation on the correlation functions of the CFT's primary fields. We provide the renormalization of the fields for the case of two-point correlation function.

description: Aujourd’hui, le changement climatique est un défi central majeur pour l'agriculture et le bien être des ménages agricoles. Toute la production agricole est directement ou indirectement concernée et doit s'y adapter. L’objectif vise à établir une typologie structurelle et fonctionnelle des exploitations agricoles (EA). Elle aide également à donner une manière de comprendre le fonctionnement d’une EA. La démarche méthodologique suivie est tout d’abord systémique. Trois dispositifs d’enquête ont été mis en œuvre dont l’observation (I), « Focus groupe » (II) et le recueil des données auprès d’un échantillon raisonné de 250 exploitants (III). Pour construire la typologie, l’analyse à composantes principales combinée à la méthode de classification hiérarchique ascendante ont été utilisées. L’analyse de variance ont également été utilisé pour analyser les différences existantes entre les catégories ainsi que le modèle économétrique. Il ressort que ces EA peuvent être regroupées en 3 types à savoir les petites (19,7%), les moyennes (65,3%), et les grandes (15%). La sècheresse et les inondations sont les principaux risques climatiques qui affectent les exploitations agricoles des cultures sèches. S’agissant des cultures irriguées, la principale contrainte majeure reste la sècheresse, l’attaque des oiseaux et l’invasion de nouvelles parasites. Le changement climatique accroit de manière significative la prévalence des morbidités dans la zone en augmentant le nombre de personnes inactifs. La production diminue lorsque ce nombre augmente selon le modèle économétrique. Ce qui affecte différemment de manière importante le résultat économique issus de ces EA.

description: The objective of this study is to treat the colored waste water loaded with an indigo carmine (IC) dye from the jeans processing of a textile factory in Antananarivo. We have developed simple, practical and inexpensive methods. Irradiation of the dye by natural and artificial light was carried out in the presence of a non-fixed TiO2 catalyst. The molecule was then oxidized by a strong oxidant, sodium hypochlorite (NaClO). Experience shows that the mineralization of IC by sunlight is long even with a catalyst. But with an artificial light (CT: 4200K), the degradation of the IC follows the kinetics of order zero «0» with a constant k = 2.12 µmol L-1h-1. The half-life is obtained after 9.3h. By oxidation by hypochlorite, the discolouration is instantaneous. The molecule is completely destroyed from a concentration of 400µM (ClO-). The methods we have studied are applicable for high-volume treatment, and reduce the risk of pollution of the ecosystem and the environment.

description: We study the open string pair production between two D3 branes, which will give rise to similar effect as Schwinger pair production for observers on one of the D3 branes. The D3 branes are placed parallel at a distance, and they are carrying world-volume electromagnetic fluxes that takes general form. We derive the pair production rate by computing the interaction amplitude between the D3 branes. We discussed how to maximize the pair production rate in this general case. We also mentioned that the general result can be used to describe other system such as D3-D1, where the pair production is ultra large compared to original Schwinger pair production, making it hopeful to observe pair production in experiments.

description: As part of the Canary Current Ecosystem, numerical models from Marine Copernicus are used to study the seasonality of marine circulation along the Moroccan Atlantic coast from 2007 to 2017. Therefore, we explore the marine circulation in three areas according to the wind seasonality along the coast. The first area, 33°N-35°N, is specified all the year by a low wind speed. The second area, 28°N-33°N, is characterized by a seasonal wind with the maximum speed in summer seasons, and it becomes weaker in autumn seasons. Finally, the third area, 21°N-27°N, is marked all the seasons by high winds intensity. Due to the Moroccan Atlantic coast topography, the average intensity of marine circulation on the surface is characterized by different trends according to the seasons. Part of the seawater, creating filaments, is exported to the open sea, especially in summer. Marine circulation affects the upwelling process under the effect of seasonal wind patterns. These filaments are identified near the coast and are particularly strong when the upwelling is active. They occur mainly in summer and carry cold, nutrient-rich water offshore. In addition, counter-currents appear at different depths, depending on the topography of the region. They move northward, especially near the coast in spring and fall.

description: This work was conducted on the GHIS-NEKOR aquifer which is located in the North of Morocco. The aim of this study is to make a comparison between the quality of groundwater in a dry and a wet period in a specific point in Al Hoceima region consumed by humans, and its physico-chemical and bacteriological characterization. As well as the determination of the main sources of contamination for its protection and preservation according to the Moroccan law on water, precisely because this water is very utilized by the inhabitants of the region. Main water analyses carried out: i) Physico-chemical analyses of drinking water (Conductivity, Hardness and alkalinity of water, Metals, Nitrites/nitrates, pH, turbidity, color, Calcium, Magnesium, Chloride......), ii) Bacteriological analyses (Coliforms, Coliforms (E. Coli), and enterococci). The final analysis of the overall quality of water showed that the result of physicochemical analysis of this point has an excellent water quality. And as for the bacteriological results came out to an average to good quality.

description: The Cape Boujdour and Cape Blanc upwelling areas are a favorable environment for the spawning of multiples pelagic fish species, due to their particular hydrological features, which provide a high productivity to this region. The study area is subdivided into three successful regions with a different hydrological characteristic. The first area (Boujdour – Dakhla) is known for the coastal upwelling of deep water in northern part of the Moroccan Atlantic Ocean. The second area in the middle (Dakhla-Cape Barbas) presents a vertical stratification. The filamentous drift of the waters and the resurgences toward offshore favor photosynthesis far from the coast and promotes high productivity. The presence of front between different water masses characterizes the third area between Cape Barbas and Cape Blanc in southern part of the Moroccan Atlantic coast. An advection variability distinguishes this part from north to south of the upwelled North Atlantic Central Water in Cape Boujdour and from south to north of the South Atlantic Central waters rich in nutrients, deficient in oxygen and high Chlorophyll concentration. This situation leads to a biological richness by the apparition of Thermohaline circulation front at the Cape Blanc area, which depends on the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone temporal and spatial variability.

description: The zooplankton, of the Cape Ghir filament area in Morocco (31°N), was sampled during five oceanographic cruises conducted between 2008 and 2009. Physical and chemical parameters were measured. In total, 11 stations were sampled on two radial perpendiculars: one latitudinal (31°N) with 7 stations coast-large and the other longitudinal (10°09' W) with 5 stations North-South. The intersection between the two radial corresponds to station 4. Copepods constitute the largest fraction of zooplankton community and represented by 86 species. The temporal variability in the copepod community structure showed that the dominant species listed may change their dominance during the study period. Their composition could be analyzed for changes in community structure associated with oceanographic variation with statistical analysis. The relation between the distribution of copepods species and the environment parameters, shows that some species (Paracalanus parvus, Oncaea venusta, Acartia clausi, Oithona nana and Euterpina acutifrons) are mainly correlated with chlorophyll 'a' and nutrients. However, other species (Oithona plumifera, Oithona similis and Clausocalanus arcuicornis) are correlated with temperature and salinity. Eight copepods species “Acartia clausi, Calanus helgolandicus, Neocalanus gracilis, Oithona nana, Oithona similis, Oithona plumifera, Oncaea venusta and Paracalanus parvus” are characterized by their high frequency and their dominance in all periods and were analyzed specially with their relation to the hydrological parameters to determinate their Environmental Preference Habitat. The global quotients were calculated in relationship with each of the hydrological and productive parameters; considered as the most influencing on the distribution of these species. Moreover, the temperature and the chlorophyll 'a' seem to be the most important factors in the determination of the copepod’s habitats in Cape Ghir area.

description: This study analyses the impact of oceanic circulation on the spatial distribution of seafloor marine debris, in particular plastics, and the identification of high spot areas, which could be the subject of a management plan development for the preservation of marine habitats and fishery resources. The marine debris data analyzed by the GIS tool come from four trawl surveys carried out, between Cape Spartel and Cape Blanc, by the scientific research vessel of the National Institute of Fisheries Research (INRH-Morocco), during the period 2011-2018. Concerning the oceanic circulation, we used the monthly data of sea surface velocity provided from the GLORYS12V1 product of the CMEMS global ocean eddy-resolving, with 1/12° horizontal resolution. By weight, 86.5% was composed of artificial Polymers (fishing nets and plastic), Metal, and Glass. Fishing activity was the source of 94% of these polymers macro-debris. Fishing nets, metal, and Glass are concentrated in small areas, respectively 23%, 21%, and 0.6% of trawling area. At the same time, plastic covers 92% of the prospected surface with an intense concentration in the southern part characterized by a maximum of ocean circulation that can move plastic with low density from their source areas for kilometers before degrading and sinking in the seafloor.

description: The polarized synchrotron data of the northern C-BASS survey show a surprisingly low linear polarization fraction, $Π\simeq 3\%$, while the magnetic field polarization features coherent structures over rather large angular scales. The low polarization degree points to a strong dominance of the turbulent magnetic field -- in agreement with the observation that the total synchrotron intensity is much larger than expected from the regular component in current models for the Galactic magnetic field (GMF). In contrast, studies of cosmic ray propagation employing these GMF models suggest that cosmic rays propagate anisotropically, what in turn requires weak turbulent fields. As a solution to this contradicting requirements, we suggest that the GMF consists of three components with different levels of turbulence: a disk dominated by the turbulent field, a halo dominated by the regular field, plus an extended turbulent halo field.

Subjects: échanges intra-communautaire ; modèle gravitaire ; côte d’ivoire ; burkina faso.

description: La faible croissance des échanges commerciaux intra-africains constitue actuellement, l’un des faits marquant des affaires internationales en Afrique subsaharienne. Ce papier vise à étudier à partir d’un modèle gravitaire, les déterminants du commerce et l’impact de l’intégration régionale sur la dynamique des échanges bilatéraux entre la Côte d’Ivoire et le Burkina Faso. Pour y parvenir, les faits stylisés relatifs au commerce extérieur de la Côte d’Ivoire et du Burkina Faso seront décrits. Et un modèle gravitationnel à effets aléatoires sera appliqué afin d’évaluer l’impact de l’intégration régionale sur le commerce bilatéral. Nous parvenons aux résultats suivants: (i) les faits stylisés montrent que le volume des échanges ivoiro-burkinabè augmente au lendemain de la crise ivoirienne, mais les flux commerciaux restent en grande partie dirigés vers les partenaires occidentaux du fait des liens coloniaux; (ii) le modèle gravitaire est globalement significatif avec les signes attendus. La valeur des échanges bilatéraux augmente avec la taille des économies et baisse avec la distance. Dans l’ensemble, les facteurs géographiques et structurels influent sur le commerce intra-communautaire.

description: Dans la zone de Diourbel, l’alimentation en eau se fait à partir des eaux souterraines comportant des teneurs en fluorure supérieures aux normes admissibles alors qu’elles représentent les seuls moyens d’approvisionnement en eau potable. L’objectif principal de cette étude est la défluoruration de l’eau du forage de la communauté rurale de PATAR caractérisée par une très forte salinité et une concentration en fluorure excessive comprise entre 4 et 8mg/L selon les périodes de l’année. Au terme de ce travail, sur une quantité de 5300L à raison de 50L par jour durant trois mois et demi, l’eau traitée présente des concentrations en fluorure inférieures à 1,5mg/L qui est la valeur guide de l’OMS. Nous avons un abattement de l’ordre de 90% en moyenne. Malgré ce bon résultat, l’eau traitée conserve encore une très forte salinité et reste microbiologiquement contaminée.

description: We used genetic markers, namely allozymes, to study the genetic structure (stock unit) and the sardine stocks movement along the Moroccan Atlantic coast and its relationship regarding the environmental features, especially upwelling. In this study, we have combined previous results obtained by analyzing eight samples collected during the spawning season (winter 2004) (chlaida et al.2008) and new data obtained by analyzing eight samples gathered during the feeding season (summer 2006). Therefore, we compiled 765 individuals from an earlier study and the 2006 summer sampling and compared seasons' results. In winter, a substantial heterogeneity (Fst =0.205) is described, with a significant genetic break in the Agadir Bay (latitude 30° 48' N) that cuts the coastal sardine populations in the Moroccan Atlantic into two stocks (north and south). In summer, the genetic structure showing two groups is maintained (Fst= 0.135). Still, the genetic break separating the two stocks arises southward, near Tarfaya (latitude 28°08’10” N), suggesting a spreading out towards the south of the northern stocks. This result seems to be related to the sardine movement along the Moroccan Atlantic coast regarding reproduction needs in winter and for trophic reasons in summer. The species' observed genetic break and seasonal activity along the Moroccan coast are expected to result from the Cape Ghir Hydrological barrier, impermeable in winter and semi-permeable in summer. This barrier comprises currents, gyres, and different mesoscale structures related to upwelling dominating in this zone.

description: Les pesticides sont utilisés dans la protection des plantes pour améliorer la production et le rendement agricole. Cependant, le volume des pesticides non utilisées par la plante entraînent des pertes économiques, une contamination de l’environnement et une réduction de l’efficacité de l’épandage du pesticide. L'une des principales causes de ce problème est le transfert de certaines fractions du volume de bouillie pulvérisé vers les compartiments de l’environnement au cours des traitements phytosanitaires, en particulier, vers le sol et dans l’air par la dérive des gouttelettes. Plusieurs types de modèles ont été développés pour comprendre les processus de dépôt et de rétention des pesticides pour prédire les quantités retenues sur les plantes et ceux perdues dans l’écosystème. La modélisation de la rétention des pesticides tient compte de multiples facteurs externes intervenant au cours de la pulvérisation ce qui implique plusieurs paramètres à mesurer et rend la majorité de ces modèles très complexes. La modélisation de la déposition peut être mathématique, statistique ou numérique. Cet article présentera l’état de l'art de la modélisation de la rétention et des dépôts au sol pour mieux prédire les volumes interceptés par la plante et ceux perdus afin d’améliorer l’efficacité de la pulvérisation phytosanitaire. Il décrira les différents facteurs et les processus physiques intervenant dans les phénomènes de rétention des gouttelettes et l’impact du couvert végétal sur le devenir des gouttelettes pulvérisées.

description: Les problèmes nutritionnels constatés au Niger chez les enfants âgés de 6 à 24 mois sont étroitement liés aux pratiques d’allaitement maternel et d’alimentation de complément. L’objectif de ce travail est de contribuer à une meilleure compréhension d’alimentation de complément des enfants de 6 à 24 mois au Niger. Une population de 137 mères d’enfants âgés de 6 à 24 mois a été interviewée individuellement au niveau des ménages de la commune de Liboré sur un guide d’entretien en rapport avec les indicateurs ANJE. Les résultats indiquent que, 64,2% des mères savaient l’âge idéal d’introduction des aliments de complément; 76,6% connaissaient au moins l’importance de donner d’autres aliments aux nourrissons en plus du lait maternel ; il y a une relation significative entre l’alimentation de l’enfant avant 6 mois et le niveau d’instruction des mères ; La plupart des mères ont introduit des aliments liquides, semi-liquides et solides aux enfants entre 6 et 12 mois respectivement 63,5%, 74,5% et 64,2% ; 12% interdisent la consommation de certains aliments aux enfants dont le moringa (70,6%), le poisson silure (11,8%) en raison de diarrhée (76,5%), et dermatose (11,8%); 88,3% des enfants n’ont pas été allaités exclusivement ; 44,1% nourrissaient leurs enfants à la demande ; Il y a une relation significative entre l’âge d’introduction des aliments de complément et l’âge des mères ; 44,4% des mères ont introduit l’alimentation de complément à partir de 6 mois; 62,8% des enfants consommaient un seul type de repas par jour et il existe une relation significative entre la poursuite d’allaitement et la profession des mères. Ces résultats vont sans doute être utiles pour les programmes d’intervention nutritionnelle.

description: This paper studies AdS/CFT in its $p$-adic version (at the ``finite place") in the setting where the bulk geometry is made up of the Tate curve, a discrete quotient of the Bruhat-Tits tree. Generalizing a classic result due to Zabrodin, the boundary dual of the free massive bulk theory is explicitly derived. Introducing perturbative interactions, the Wittens diagrams for the two-point and three-point correlators are computed for generic scaling dimensions at one-loop and tree level respectively. The answers obtained demonstrate how $p$-adic AdS/CFT on the Tate curve provides a useful toy model for real CFTs at finite temperature.
