In the climate change context, the severity and duration of drought periods are expected to increase. Forests are known to be extremely sensitive to climate change, especially in the Mediterranean Basin, and particularly in Tunisia, where climate is characterized by dry hot summers which will intensify and prolong due to climate change effects. A better understanding of the mechanisms allowing pla...... hiện toàn bộ
Intelligent approach to predict future groundwater level based on artificial neural networks (ANN)Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 1-11 - 2020
Malek Derbela, Issam Nouiri
To depict hydrogeological variables and understand the physical processes taking place in a complex hydrogeological system, artificial neural networks (ANNs) are widely used as a good alternative approach to tedious numerical models. The aim of this study was to predict the dynamic fluctuations in piezometric levels in Nebhana aquifers (NE Tunisia) using ANNs. A correlation analysis carried out be...... hiện toàn bộ
Heavy metals in common food items in Kolkata, IndiaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 1-9 - 2017
Avijit Das, Anindya Das
An assessment of heavy metal contamination in rice, red lentil, spice (Cumin), locally made snack (biscuit), leafy vegetable (red spinach), fish, chicken and medicinal herb (Tulsi) sampled from 20 street side market locations in Kolkata, India, was done. The mean metal concentrations in all the food items decreased in the order of Fe > Zn > Mn > Pb > Cu > Cr > Ni > As. The range (in mg kg−1) of th...... hiện toàn bộ
The active faults of the Mitidja basin (North Central Algeria): what does the seismic history of the region tell us? A reviewSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 1-11 - 2018
Said Maouche, Assia Harbi
The Africa–Eurasia plate boundary runs along Northern Algeria, which is thus an active seismic zone. However, surface ruptures from large earthquakes are rarely observed, which makes it difficult to define the characteristic parameters of any active fault. In this paper, we combine the results obtained in recent investigations of historical and instrumental seismicity with field observations and a...... hiện toàn bộ
Lichen diversity and bioaccumulation of heavy metals in northern Tunisia: a study to evaluate environmental pollutionSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2023
Mohamed Mendili, Tayssir Ben Jrad, Ayda Khadhri
This study focused on the diversity of lichens present in selected regions of northern Tunisia and assessed their resistance to atmospheric pollution. Twenty-five species of lichen were identified, divided into 13 families and 17 different genera. The results show that the Cladoniaceae and Parmeliaceae families predominate. Foliose and complex lichens are the most abundant. The main objective of t...... hiện toàn bộ
Analysis of numerical simulation of the hydrodynamics in swimming pools, in terms of water qualitySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 1-13 - 2018
Mostefa Dougha, Mahmoud Hasbaia, André Girou, Ali Redjem
A numerical study of hydrodynamic behaviour in swimming pools was conducted to control the water quality. Hydrodynamics and mass transport processed by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) were compared with experimental measurements of the residence time distribution (RTD). A CFD tool with turbulence models and a transport model of a species used to find the hydrodynamic effect on water quality by ...... hiện toàn bộ
Physico-chemical analysis and antioxidant activity of Moroccan caper leaves (Capparis Spinosa L.)Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 407-414 - 2022
Mourad Ouhammou, El Mustapha El Adnany, Ayoub Mourjane, Hanane Ait Hammou, Mohamed Bouchdoug, Abderrahim Jaouad, Mostafa Mahrouz
The caper is a thorny shrub, a plant very widespread in the countries of the Mediterranean basin. In Morocco it is widely cultivated in three main regions, the city of Taounate, the city of Safi and Tardounate, also in several other regions in a spontaneous state. In this study the objective is to study the caper genus (Capparis spinosa L.) belonging to the family Capparidaceae, a genus of Cappris...... hiện toàn bộ
