Abstract: A series of divinyl-pyrene derivatives consisting in D-vinyl-pyrene-vinyl-A, in which D corresponds to an electron donor group and A to an electron attractor group, systems were considered in this work. The first purpose was to determine the optimal HF % exchange as incorporated in a range of hybrid functional (M06HF, M062X,M06L,CAM-B3LYP, PBE0,BMK et B3LYP) capable to produce, reliably and as closest as possible to the those obtained from MP2 method, NLO parameters and particularly first order static hyperpolarizabilities. The CAM-B3LYP functional was revealed to be the most suitable one. The pair N(CH3)2/ NO2 was then determined as to be the most efficient couple groups in producing appreciable NLO responses. The effect of the substitution position on the pyrene moiety was also investigated, the direction aligning the two substituents involving the D and A groups to the dipole moment as in the (1,6 DVP) derivatives was shown to be the most favorable to perform the NLO parameters. Key words:Pyrene derivatives, NLO parameters, Intramolecular Charge Transfer (TCI), Hybrid Functionals, MP2 Method.

Abstract: The structural, electronic and magnetic properties of five alkaline-earth metal nitrides XN(X=Be, Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba) are investigated by means of the first-principales approach based on density functional theory (DFT). The calculations are performed using the pseudopotential method as implemented in Quantum-ESPRESSO code. The results on the structural properties confirm the stability of the II-N compounds in the B2 phase. In the other hand, the materials show a halfmetallic ferromagnetic state with a magnetic moment equal to 1µB. The only exeption is the BeN which is found to be non-magnetic.

Abstract: We report a first-principles study of the hypothetical I-N compounds. The spin-polarized calculations indicate that these materials are half-metallic ferromagnets and exhibit an integer magneticmoment of 2µB. The most important property in these alkaline metal nitrides is that the half-metallicityis originated from the polarization of the p-N orbitals not present in the conventional transition metal orrare earth nitrides.

Abstract: Er doped BCTYN ceramics are prepared by the conventional solid state reaction method and their structural and dielectric properties were investigated. These polycrystalline samples are characterized using X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Dielectric measurements, Raman spectroscopy, hysteresis loop and piezoelectric measurements. X-ray diffraction analyses at room temperature showed that these samples crystallized in the tetragonal distorted perovskite structure. The dielectric measurements show classical ferroelectric behavior. The results of Raman spectra showed the vibrational modes at room temperature as well as transition electric existing and matched well with the dielectric results. Meanwhile, a good piezoelectric response was obtained for Er doped BCTYN ceramics and the observation of P–E hysteresis loops showed a slight increase of the remnant polarization (Pr) with the addition of Erbium.

Abstract: YPO4:xmol%Eu3+ phosphors with different europium concentrations (x=3, 5, 8, 11, 13, 15) were synthesized via high temperature solid-state reaction. Detailed structural characterization was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Under 375 nm wavelength excitation, the photoluminescence spectra display characteristic luminescence 5D0→7FJ (J = 1, 2, 3, and 4) intra-4f shell Eu3+ ion transitions. From these experimental data, the radiative lifetime and branching ratios were estimated using Judd–Ofelt intensity parameters Ω2 and Ω4. The optimal doping concentration for achieving maximum emission intensity was confirmed to be 11 mol%. The critical energy-transfer distance for the Eu3+ ions was evaluated and based on Dexter and Schulman theory the quenching mechanism was confirmed to be a dipole–dipole interaction. The temperature-dependent photoluminescence and CIE chromaticity coordinate of YPO4:Eu3+ phosphor were also investigated in this work. The results revealed that Eu3+ doped YPO4 exhibited good thermal stability and its emission intensity decreased slightly above room temperature. In particular, the color purity of this phosphor was as high as 94%, which made it a potential orangered material for application in the near-UV pumped white light emitting diodes.

Abstract: In the present work, AlGaN/GaN epitaxial films have been grown on SiN surface-treated sapphire substrate by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) under atmospheric-pressure. The Al content in the studied samples is varied between 3% and 15% though the change of the flow rate of trimethylaluminum (TMA) from 12 µmol/min to 32 µmol/min. The optical properties and carrier dynamics of the AlGaN/GaN epitaxial films are investigated by means of time-resolved Photoluminescence (TR-PL). Low temperature measurements show that the PL emission peak broadens and shifts to higher energies when the TMA flow rate is increased. Simultaneously, the PL decay time increases with increasing Al contents in the studied films. These observations can be attributed to the carrier localization effects in band tail states due to compositional fluctuations in the AlGaN layers. Remarkably, the PL spectrum of the epitaxial film with a relatively high Al content of 15 % reveals several peaks. In order to find out about the origin of these features, temperature-dependent PL measurements are performed in the range from 25 K to 300 K.

Keywords: AlGaN, Metal organic vapor phase epitaxy, Photoluminescence, time-resolved photoluminescence.

Wind Energy Technology Reconsideration to Enhance the Sustainability Features of Smart Cities C.C.Baniotopoulos *

School of Engineeering, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, B15 2TT U.K. [email protected]

Abstract: Sustainable development is tightly related to the fate of sustainable energy. According to the Horizon 2020 decisions, EU countries ensured their commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2020 with the objective of a further reduction up to 80-95% by 2050.Along this line, future cities aim at 15% of renewable energy in terms of produced energy by renewable sources. In other words, sustainable energy is energy obtained from non- exhaustible resources and in this sense, sustainable energy by definition serves the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Technologies that promote sustainable energy include renewable energy sources, such as wind energy, and also technologies designed to improve energy efficiency. Nowadays, the major contributors of locally produced renewable energy are photovoltaic systems, solar panels and combined heat power systems, and the significant potential from wind energy to complement them. During the last years the cost of sustainable energy has significantly fallen and continues to fall. Most of the aforementioned technologies are nowadays either economically competitive or close to being so. Increasingly, effective government policies support investor confidence leading to the expansion of these markets. Thus, considerable progress has been observed in the energy transition from fossil fuels to sustainable energies. It seems that it is now the appropriate time for all countries stakeholders to intensively collaborate in order to exchange expertise, to discuss open problems and disseminate the respective outcomes to stakeholders, engineers, designers, researchers, municipalities and governments. This presentationisfocused on two distinct research efforts thateffectivelycontribute to thisprocedure of the enhancement of sustainableenergy and in particular, the windenergy : the first one refers to repoweringthatis the replacement of the existingoldwind turbines withfewer and taller onesbeing able to yield more energy, whereas the other important effort to betterestablishwindenergyharvestingconcerns the builtenvironmentwindenergytechnology.

Key words:wind energy, sustainability, future smart cities.

Energetic Efficiency of a PVT Solar Drier H. Bentaher1,2,M. Fterich1, H. Chouikhi1,2and A. Elloumi1,2 1

LASEM laboratory, ENIS, Sfax 3038- Tunisia 2 ISSIG Gabès-Tunisia [email protected]

Abstract: Solar Energy can be used to produce heat and/or electricity. PVT panels are a good application to produce both photovoltaic and Thermal energies. This induces an improvement of energetic efficiency of the panel since it is the summation of electric and thermal outputs. One of the applications of this hybrid panel is drying. In African countries, Agro-food products are subject of spoiling due to the fluctuations in production and the cost of product refrigeration. One of the used solutions is solar drying. However actually the main used method is open sun drying which causes the exposition of Agro-food products to dust and insects. To improve this process in order to reach International hygienic standards, the bilateral European Project Tunisia/Italy : ESSORENTREPRISE was funded by the CE. Its objective was to promote micro-enterprises in Agro-food sector by the introduction of small mechanized machines. In this scope, a PVT drier was constructed. Composed by two chambers to compare different working modes this drier used photovoltaic energy to power two fans for forced convection. Air can enter directly to drying chamber or after being pre-heated in the PVT panel. After the evaluation of the PVT efficiency, application of the mixed drying on tomatoes was compared to open sun drying. Temperature in the drier chamber reached 57°C however the ambient one did not exceed 37°C. This improved the drying process for the mixed dryer by shortening the drying time and reducing the remaining percentage of water in the dried tomatoes.

Abstract: Optical properties of Er-doped AlN nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized by Inert Gas Condensation (IGC) on silicon (111) substrates were investigated. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high resolution TEM (HR-TEM) were used to study the shapes, morphologies and size of the synthesized AlN: Er3+ NPs which have a spherical shape with a mean diameter between 12 nm and 15 nm. The optical properties of AlN: Er3+ NPs were assessed from low temperature cathodoluminescence spectra (CL). The CL spectra show visible and near infrared sharp and broad emission lines associated with Er3+ ions. The observed Er3+ ion transition lines broadening is due to the surface defect in studied NPs. Comparative investigations of the luminescent properties of AlN: Er3+NPs with those of AlN: Er3+ thin films show the presence of some similarities between the lattice sites occupied by Er3+ ions in these hosts. It was found that in AlN NPs the Er3+ ion occupy a second optical center, which is the VN-Er complex beside the ordinary substitutional ErAl center observed in the case of AlN: Er3+ epilayers. Assuming the presence of these two sites occupied by Er3+ ions, the majority of CL emission lines were attributed. The experimental Stark energy levels of Er3+ ion manifolds are established for the Er-doped AlN NPs and the correspondent crystal field parameters are calculated.

Abstract: Photophysics of hybrid nanostructures of π-conjugated polymers and inorganic nanoparticles remains a frontier area of research due to the potentials of such structures in the development of optoelectronic, solar and light harvesting devices [1,2]. In this work, optoelectronic properties of P3OT:wt%CdSe composite films are investigated as a function of CdSe nanoparticles (NPs) concentration (wt%) incorporated in the films. The incorporation of CdSe NPs produces a quenching of the photoluminescence and improves the performance of solar cells based on the composites. These effects are explained in terms of exciton dissociation and charge separation occurring at P3OT/CdSe interfaces within the Förster formalism [3]. An exciton quenching rate constant of 1.4.10-10 cm3.s-1 was determined using the Stern-Volmer equation. In addition, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images revealed that the whole surface morphology was changed following CdSe NPs incorporation, in agreement with FTIR spectra. The J-V characteristics of ITO/P3OT:%CdSe/Al photovoltaic cells are also reported and indicate a significant improvement of the photovoltaic parameters cells, in particularly the conversion efficiency become 20 times greater than the cell based on pure polymer.

Abstract: Mechanical alloying, as a low-temperature solid-state powder processing technique, was applied to prepare homogeneous nanocrystalline TiCrC alloy, starting from the Ti, Cr and graphite elemental powders. The evolutions of constitution phases, microstructural features, and chemical compositions of the milled powders at various milling times were studied by the XRD, EDX and laser particle size analyzer.The results obtained showed that the TiCrC diffractioncrystallite size decreases tremendously and its microstrain increases as the milling duration increases. After 20 h of milling, the minimum crystallite size was found to be around 10 nm.

Impact of temperature coupled with the V/III ratio variation and LSE modelization of the exciton transfer between localized states of BxGa1-xAs/GaAsepilayers Tarek Hidouri*, Faouzi Saidi** and Hassen Maaref* [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

Abstract: In this work, BxGa1-xAs/GaAsepilayers with three different boron compositions were elaborated by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on GaAs (001) substrate. High resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) spectroscopy has been used to estimate the boron fraction. The luminescence keys were carried out as functions of temperature in the range 10–300 K, by the techniques of photoluminescence (PL). The low PL temperature has shown an abnormal emission appeared at low energy side witch attributed to the recombination through the deep levels. In all samples, the PL peak energy as well as the full width at half maximum (FWHM), present an anomalous behaviors as a result of competition process between localized and delocalized carriers. We propose the LSE model to explain the unusual photoluminescence behaviors. Electrical carriers generation, thermal escape, recapture, radiative and non-radiative life time are taken into account. The temperature-dependent PL keys were found to be in reasonable agreement with the model of localized states. We controlled the evolution of such parameters versus composition by varying the V/III to have a quantitative and qualitative understanding. At high temperatures, the model can be approximated to the band-tail-state emission.

Abstract: Reducing of the operating temperature of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) from 800°C 1000°C to 400°C - 600°C is of great importance, because it means both a prolonged stack life time and a cost reduction. 8YSZ co-doped with 4 mol% MxOy (YSZ-MxOy) powders have been elaborated by solid state reaction at 1500°C during 12 h. YSZ-CeO2, YSZ-ZnO and YSZ-CeO2ZnO have been fully stabilized cubic zirconia (c-ZrO2). Compared to the reference sample (8YSZ), all the doped electrolytes YSZ-MxOy have shown a modified dilatometric behavior with much lower linear thermal expansion coefficient in the temperature range 200°C - 1200°C. Electrical measurements between 400°C and 600°C have shown an important improvement of the ionic conductivity of YSZ-CeO2, YSZ-CeO2-ZnO and YSZ-ZnO, compared to 8YSZ. Finally, the performance tests of 200 μm thick film YSZ-MxOy as an electrolyte of SOFCs, have revealed spectacular results in terms of open circuit voltage (OCV about 1.03 V) and maximum power density (440 mW.cm-2), suggesting that (ZrO2)0.88(Y2O3)0.08(CeO2)0.03(ZnO)0.01 could be a good candidate as electrolyte for Low-Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (L-SOFCs).

Abstract: In this work we present the contribution of deep-level traps in the charge storage for the Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) structures having a silicon nanocrystals (Si-NCs) in the SiOx=1.5 oxide matrix.Using the deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) we observe a slow electron trap in the reference samples without Si-NCs.A clear series of electron traps are evidenced in DLTS spectra for MOS samples with Si-NCs. The dominance of the thermionic transition dot to dot from the conduction band of Poly-silicon layer to conduction band of silicon substrate via the Si-NCs in the oxide tunnel layer will be made for charge storage. Moreover, the DLTS response of individual Si-NC is treated as a single point deeper level defect in the oxide for a potential barrier at about 14 meV. The trapping mechanism in the Si-NCs quantum levels through a fine potential barrier will be made by a tunnel emission from dot to dot for low temperatures. These results are helpful to understand the principle of charge storage of MOS structures having a few Si-NCs number in the SiOx=1.5 oxide matrix. Key words:Silicon nanocrystals, Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor, oxide tunnel traps , DLTS measurements.

Abstract: Both fundamental and applied research as well as industrial development of nanoelectronics is focused essentially on alternatives to the metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS). At present, graphene is the best and the most sought-after candidate because of its exceptional properties. However, the metallic character and the absence of an energy band gap in graphene sheets complicate the fabrication of a large variety of devices. Faced with this difficulty, recent attention has been given to new 2D material candidates amenable to tuning their properties. From this point of view, silicene is considered to be promising novel materials for this purpose. Theoretical investigations so far have shown that both silicene and graphene can have similar properties; such as a large charge carrier mobility and Hall effect. Few studies have been performed, for example on the Ge/Ag and Si/Ag systems. However, so far only the Si/Ag system forms the 2D silicene honeycomb structures similar to graphene. We have succeeded in synthesizing silicene on both the Ag(110) and Ag(111) substrates. On the Ag(110) surface, parallel silicene nanoribbons (NRs) 1.6 nm wide were obtained. The silicene NRs were shown to be less reactive than silicon towards oxidation. Moreover angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements showed quantum confined electronic states of a one-dimensional character with a dispersion along the direction of the NRs at the high symmetry point of the Brillouin zone, suggesting a behavior analogous to the Dirac cones of graphene.

Abstract: Liquid crystal material has a major effect on many areas of sciences and engineering. Applications for this material are still being discovered and continue to provide effective solutions to many different problems. Most of the liquid crystals used in display technology are the eutectic mixtures that are developed by mixing two or more mesogenic materials. Hydrogen-bonded liquid crystals and their complex mixtures are an excellent example of the eutectic mixtures, they have interesting physical properties in accordance with the intermolecular hydrogen bonds. In the present work, two hydrogen-bonded liquid crystals and their mixtures are characterized for their mesophase behavior by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized-optical microscopy (POM), frequency domain dielectric spectroscopy and electro-optic methods. The (Temperature – Concentration) phase diagram is established. The effect of the fluoro substituent on the mesomorphic behavior is discussed as well.

Abstract: Semiconductor single-electron transistor (SET) has attracted much attention for small size, ultra low power and room temperature. A physically based analytical Silicon single-electron transistor model is proposed. This model uses the orthodox theory, which makes it particularlysuitable for hybrid simulation where the SET is biased by a current source. The model is validate experimentally with excellent agreement and compared to existing models. It isfound that our model is valid and accurate whatever the drain-gate voltage and faster than reportedmodels on the whole. A way to integrate into the model the effects of spin-degenerate quantumenergy level discreteness, in the case of a silicon-based SET, is also introduced and observedquantum mechanical effects, such as negative differential conductance (NDG).

Abstract: Lead sulphide (PbS) thin films represent a direct band gap IV–VI p-type semiconductor material (Eg= 0.41 eV) and have a good potential application in solar cells, infrared detector devices, sensors, etc. The structural and optical properties of PbS film can be tuned via doping with Cd2+. These ions have good ability to substitute Pb2+ locations in the PbS crystal lattice, and thus tune its energy band gap. Also, the structural properties of the film, such as the grain size, can depend on the dopant concentration and will affect the PbS band gap and conductivity. These features are important for instance, when PbS film are applied as photoactive materials in solar cells. Here we present an investigation on doping PbS thin films by Cd. Cd-doped PbS films were deposited through chemical bath deposition on ordinary glass substrates. XRD patterns of both Cddoped films are consistent with PbS. The morphology and topography of the doped PbS films were examined using tapping mode AFM (NT-MDT Ntegra) and high-resolution SEM (Magellan 400 XHR-SEM). The crystalline shape was triangular for undopedPbS films and quadratic for Cd-doped PbS films and did not change much with the dopant concentration increase from 0.5% to 2%. Films in the range 240 to 380 nm were considered. The optical parameters of PbS films showed very dependent of the change of Cd doping level. Therefore, Optical band gap is blue-shifted from 0.72 eV to 1.4 eV with increase in Cd doping concentration. The possibility of tuning both the electrical and optical properties of PbS thin films by doping represents a viable strategy for the development of suitable optically active materials for application in photovoltaics.

Abstract: Conductive polymers have generated a great interest because of their physical and chemical proprieties. The polyaniline (PANI) is a conductive conjugated-π polymer. When the conduction mechanism is through hole, it can be used in various applications due to itschemical stability, electrical and ease of synthesis and doping. The aim of this work is to prepare films by mixing organic polymer (Pani) solutions with several metallic and/or oxide nanoparticles by spin coating technique. We have varied the nanoparticles/PANI ratio varied from 15 to 60 w/w%. The prepared films were characterised by ( Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nanosizer particles, thermogravemetric analyses (TGA), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron Miscroscopy (SEM).The SEM micrographs showed that the prepared films were heteregeneous, whereas AFM was able to setect the added nanoparticles.

Abstract: SnS thin films were deposited on glass substrates by chemical bath deposition from aqueous

solution containing triethanolamine (TEA) (C6H15NO3), trisodium citrate (C6H5Na3O7) (0.66M), ammonia (NH4OH) solution, ammonium chloride (NH4Cl), Sn2+(0.1 M) and thioacetamide (CH3CSNH2) with the aim of optimising the physical properties of this binary. These films were characterised with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and spectrophotometric measurements. The XRD analyses show that SnS films crystallize into orthorhombic structure. Optical analyses by means of transmission T(λ) and reflexion R(λ) measurements show a direct forbidden

and indirect allowed transitions which are nearly equal to the theoretical optimum value of 1,50 eV

for efficient light absorption. On the other hand, orthorhombic tin sulfide exhibit a high absorption coefficient up to 2 × 105 cm−1 . Optical constants such as the Urbach energy, optical conductivity, and the carrier concentration were determined from optical measurements.

The interesting remark note is that the physical properties of tin sulphide are affected by reactants concentration on the chemical deposition. Using the optimised conditions it is possible to produce thin films of tin sulphide that are suitable for use in thin film solar cell structures such as: Mo/SnS/ZnO/ZnO: Al/Al and Mo/SnS/In2 O3 /

Abstract: Studies focused on alkaline-earth-rare gas clusters are of a great importance. Because of the nonbonding character of rare gas atoms, these systems can serve as prototypes for a number of studies interested in structural and optical properties of solvated atoms or molecules. Several fundamental problems in the fields of inorganic chemistry and biochemistry can be understood by studying clusters such as nucleation and solvation phenomena. In this context we have realized a theoretical study of the Sr+Xen clusters. We have determined the stable structures and the stability of these clusters. For this we have used the so-called “basin hopping” method to find the minimum energy. The stability of such clusters has been discussed using the primary and the second energy differences histograms. The most important conclusion is the high stability of Sr+Xe12which is related to the icosahedral structures on which all the structures of clusters have been constructed.

Abstract: The functionalization of spin crossover materials at low scales presents a big challenge to be surmounted. We considered a spin crossover nanoparticle embedded in a matrix and we studied the effect of the size of the nanoparticle, the elastic interaction between the molecules, the stiffness of the nanoparticle, and finally the position of the nanoparticle inside the matrix on the thermal properties of the spin crossover nanoparticle. The analysis was performed using an electro-elastic model based on the Monte Carlo method running on a distortable 2D square lattice whose sites are occupied by low spin (LS) and high spin molecules (HS). Such analysis reflects the crucial influence of the size, position, shape as well as of the surrounding environment on the behavior of the spin transition, and it supply reliable explanations founded on the elastic properties of the system.

Abstract: Nanoporous silicon stimulates the interest of the scientific community and technologists also due to itsunique optical, electrical and optoelectronic properties. Several experimental studies have revealed astrong dependence of its physical properties with its unique microstructure. As with all materials, theX-ray diffraction technique is preliminary to a direct exploration of the microstructure of nanoporoussilicon. Thus, several studies of characterization by XRD and SAXS (Small-Angle Xray Scattering) werereported in the literature for the nanoporous silicon. To help interpret the measured diffractionpatterns, and consequently better understand the organization of matter at the local level and to thenanoscale, the modeling technique proved to be the tool of choice. We propose in this work large atomistic models for nanoporous silicon, for which we simulate X-raydiffraction patterns. We pay special attention to the size effect of nanopores as well as the effect ofporosity rate on X-ray diffraction patterns. A detailed quantitative analysis of simulated patterns ispresented and comparison with available experimental data is made.

Key words:microstructure, modeling, nanoporous silicon, small-angle X-ray scattering, X-ray diffraction.

Abstract: Synthesis of iron oxide (Fe2O3 ) thin films on glass substrates was carried out by chemical spray pyrolysis technique, with a view to investigate the effects of variation of iron concentration ( C= [Fe3+] = 0.06, 0.1, 0.14, 0.2 and 0.3 mol.l-1) on the physical properties of the films. Structural characterization of the layers obtained by X-ray diffraction (XRD), revealed that they were α-Fe2O3. The best crystallinity was obtained for C = 0.14 mol.l-1since the maximum (104) preferential peak intensity was obtained at this iron concentration. The level of the residualmicrostrain and dislocation density seems to be reduced respectively to the values -0.25 x 10-2% and 1.99 x 108 lines .mm-2. The optical study showed that for C = 0.06, 0.1 and 0.14 mol.l-1,the as deposited films had a transmittance of about 60-80% in [750-2500] nm region of electromagnetic spectrum, but this was strongly reduced to a range of about 30-50% for the other concentrations. The decrease maybe due to the structural change. All these films displayed an average band gap equalsto 2.15 eV for direct transition and 2.01 eV for indirect transition whatever the iron concentration. Photoluminescence measurement were performed on α-Fe2O3 crystals and the analysis revealed the existence of three emission peaks observed at 402, 419 and 484 nm correspond to direct transition band to band. On the other hand, increasingthe concentration up to C = 0.14 mol.l-1 improves the electrical properties. Key words:Chemical spray pyrolysis, Iron oxide, Photoluminescence, Physical properties.

Abstract: In this work a simple analytical method to simulate the performance of n(a-Si:H)/i(a-Si:H)/p(cSi) heterojunction solar cell is developed. The dark current-voltage characteristics were investigated to determine the effect of metal/semiconductor contact on the local ideality factor𝑛𝑛1 (𝑉𝑉). It is

demonstrated that the voltage across the series resistance, calculated from𝑛𝑛1 (𝑉𝑉), follows the Ohm's law. Furthermore, the results obtained in this study show that the alloys Al/Ag as a rear contact increases the photovoltaic parameters by comparison with those of the cell wherein the back contact is formed by Al. This enhancement is due to the effective recombination velocity on the back surface and in addition the improvement made by the transport parameters in the base region (p). The effect of an intrinsic a-Si:H thin-layer on the dark current-voltage is discussed and the analytical results show that this layer decreases the saturation current in the space charge region also the diffusion in quasi-neutral regions. The obtained results show a good agreement with the experimental results presented in literature, and might open promising opportunities for enhancing the design parameters of heterojunction solar cells. Key words:Heterojunction solar cell; current-voltage characteristic;ideality factor;series resistance; saturation current.

Abstract: Red-, blue and yellow sugars are carbohydrate derivatives of indigoid bis-indoles, such as indigo, indirubin and isoindigo. In recent years, it has been shown that these compounds show activity against various human cancer cell lines based on their action as inhibitors of several kinases, such as CDKs and GSK-3β. We have demonstrated that thia- and selena-analogues of glycosylated indirubins are good candidates for the treatment of malignant melanoma. In this paper, we reportrecent resultsrelated to the synthesis of carbohydrate derivatives of indigo, its isomers and their hetero analogues and their pharmacological evaluation.

Abstract: 17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases Type 1(17-HSD1) catalyse the transformation of estrone (E1) into the most potent estradiol (E2), which stimulates cell proliferation and decreases apoptosis. 17β-HSD1 is often strongly overexpressed in estrogen dependent diseases such as breast cancer and endometriosis. Thus, this enzyme is a promising target for the development of selective inhibitors which could be used as novel drugs for the treatment of these diseases. O

Abstract: In the present study, various cap rocks have been experimentally reacted in water with supercritical CO2 in geological storage conditions (P = 70 bar and T = 80 °C) for 25 days. In order to characterize the potential CO2–water– rock interactions, an experimental setup has been built to provide additional information concerning the effects of structure and surface characteristics changes due to CO2 injection with cap rocks. Also, CO2 adsorption capacities of different materials (i.e. clay evaporate and sandstone) are measured. These samples were characterized by XRD technique. The BET specific surface area was determined by nitrogen isotherms. The physical as well as chemical mechanisms of CO2 retention were determined. Adsorption isotherms were measured at different temperatures 298 K and 350 K.

Experimental data of CO2 adsorption

isotherms were modeled using Langmuir models. Keywords: carbon dioxide storage – adsorption –X-ray diffraction– scanning electron microscopy– thermal analysis.

Abstract:

Direct photocurrent mapping of inorganic InAs/InGaAs/GaAs solar cells using a novel implementation of a near-field scanning optical microscope (NSOM) is described. By rastering the light output from the NSOM through the InZn top contact at two different wavelengths (visible, 800 nm, and near infrared, 1150 nm), it is possible to collect height and photocurrent images simultaneously with a lateral resolution that is governed by the NSOM aperture. In this work, we focus our interest on studying the near-field photocurrent (NPC) of InAs/InGaAs/GaAs quantumdot intermediate band solar cells which is generated by illumination via SNOM. This method is also called scanning photocurrent microscopy(SPCM). Using twowavelengths for illumination (800 and 1150

nm),

we

observed

astrong

correlation

between

the two-dimensional

maps

of

photocurrentdistribution and the topography at 800nm, whilethis correlation decreased more particularly in the QDs absorptionrange at 1150 nm for other samples. We have also successfully identified the photoactive layers in the solar cell. In analyzing the SPCM measurement, many processes were discussed; the lightabsorption, the carrier generation and thecarrier recombination. Indeed, the SPCM technique proves to be a suitable method for the investigation of intermediateband solar cells. Key words:near field scanning near field, quantum dot intermediate band solar cell, InAs/InGaAs/GaAs, SPCM, light absorption, carrier generation and recombination.

Abstract: Catalytic activation of hydrogen peroxide in water is of greatest environmental importance. We have been working on the catalytic activation of peroxides by transition metal catalysts toward oxidation of organic and inorganic substrates. Different Mo(VI), W(VI) and Mn(III) complexes are under investigation in our laboratory. We have prepared and design series of Mo(VI) and Mn(III) Schiff-base catalysts and studied their activity in oxidation of organic substrates by peroxides, such as epoxidation. Detail kinetic and mechanistic studies are all carried out in order to understand the role of the catalyst and the effect other variables, such as concentrations, solvent and temperature, on the reaction. We have found that the metal activates the peroxide by forming a metal-peroxo species, which is able to transfer an O atom to the organic substrate. It has been demonstrated that the presence of electron-withdrawal group(s) on the metal catalyst enhances its activity.

Abstract: Theory of superconductor-ferromagnet (S-F) heterostructures with two and more ferromagnetic layers predicts generation of a long-range, odd-in-frequency triplet pairing at noncollinear alignment (NCA) of the F-layers magnetizations. Following the ideas of the superconducting triplet spin-valve we have detected that triplet pairing: switching of the proximity effect coupled Co/CoOx/Cu41Ni59/Nb/Cu41Ni59 heterostructures from normal to superconducting state. The resistance of the sample as a function of an external magnetic field shows that the system is superconducting at the collinear alignment of the Cu41Ni59 and Co layers magnetic moments, but switches to the normal conducting state at the NCA configuration. The existence of the Tc minimum at the NCA regime is consistent with the theoretical prediction of the long-range triplet pairing appearance. The observed memory effect, caused by generation of the triplet pairing at noncollinear magnetic configurations in the investigated nanostructures, seems to be promising for practical applications in superconducting spintronics.

Abstract: The vast leap in technology has led to an exponential increase in energy consumption that caused problems like fossil fuel depletion, pollution and global warming, which urges the search for new renewable, clean and sustainable resources. Among these resources are thermoelectric (TE) solid state devices. In this talk, I will shed light on the recent investigations of materials that are promising for energy harvesting such as Fe2NbAl Heusler alloy.Using first principle calculations, the maximum power factor (PF) of this alloy was found to be 12×10-3 and 51×10-3 W/mK2 at hole concentrations of ~1.60×1021 and 1.45×10-3 cm-3 for the p-type material and about 18×10-3 and 42×10-3 W/mK2 at electron concentrations of ~1.65×1021 and 1.6×10-3 cm-3 for the n-type at 300K and 800K, respectively. These values are about 10 times higher than that of Bi2Te3, which has been extensively used in the construction of thermoelectric modules. This fact infers that Fe2NbAl is promising for TE applications with high efficiency and low cost fabrication. The PF of Fe2NbAl could also be increased by doping with Cr, Mn and Co at Fe and Nb sites, which indicates higher efficiencies and potential thermoelectric applications.

Abstract: A 0.9BiFeO3-0.1Ba[Ti0.95(Yb0.5Nb0.5)0.05]O3 ceramic is synthesized by conventional solidstate reaction method and investigated by structural, 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, dielectric, Raman spectra, and magnetization properties. At room temperature, X-ray diffraction showed that this sample crystallized in tetragonal distorted perovskite structure with space group P4mm. Analysis of gradual structural evolution, as temperature increases, show that ceramic transforms into pseudo-cubic phase. Rietveld refinement reveals a very remarkable change of the Fe-O-Fe distorted angle and a significant shift in the atomic positions near the Neel temperature transition TN.The evolution of 57Fein-situ Mössbauer spectrums according to temperatures in the range of 300 – 650 K allows the determination of the magnetic transition temperature (TN∼568 K). In fact, at temperatures below the Neel one, Spectra show six lines pattern which turn intodoublet, above TN, expressing paramagnetic order. By following magnetic hyperfine modulation parameters, magnetic transition from modulated antiferromagnetic ordering to paramagnetic one is confirmed.Temperature dependence of the real part of the permittivityε′r and the dielectric loss tanδat different frequencies were investigated.During its evolutions, an anomaly has been detectedat around 568 K which corresponds to TN, as confirmed by 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. A magnetic property is confirmed by the magnetic hysteresis loop (M–H) at room temperature. That revealed an antiferromagnetic behavior. The saturated magnetization Ms, at 29 kOe, the remnant magnetization Mr and the coercive field Hc were of 1.454 emug-1, 0.266 emug-1 and 434 kOe, respectively. These results prove the enhancement of the magnetic properties compared to undoped BiFeO3. Temperature-dependent Raman bands investigation confirms antiferromagnetic transition. Furthermore, these results reveal considerable spectral changes in the vicinity of the Neel temperature TN. Such behaviors indicate the existence of strong spin–phonon coupling in our sample. This study suggest that 0.9BiFeO3-0.1Ba[Ti0.95(Yb0.5Nb0.5)0.05]O3 bulk is a promising candidate for magnetoelectric coupling.

The aim of this work is to study the evolution of electrocaloric effect depending on the temperature for different electric fields. The electrocaloric study our compound is based on the indirect method. The best value (∆T) and / or entropy (∆S) is obtained when the field E = 10 KV / cm. Thus, in our study, we find that this effect increases electrocaloric following a doping Sn.

These anomalies are discussed in terms of ferroelectric–antiferroelectric andantiferroelectric paraelectric phase transition mechanisms. By Sm-doping, the dielectric properties were improved, which reveals a higher dielectric constant for a small amount of Sm2O3, while the depolarization temperature(Td) tend to decreases to lower temperature. Meanwhile, a good piezoelectric response was obtained for adding a small amount of Sm2O3 in NBT-6BT ceramics and the observation of P– E hysteresis loops showed a slight increase of the remnant polarization (Pr) and reduced the coercive field (Ec).

Abstract: Polycrystalline BiFeO3 - (Ba0.9,Ca0.1Ti0.9Sn0.1)O3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.50) [(1 - x) BFO -x BCTS)] ceramics were fabricated by a solid state reaction method. The phase structure,Raman spectra, dielectric and magnetic properties of the (1 - x) BFO - x BCTS ceramics were systematically investigated. The crystal structure of the(1 - x) BFO - x BCTS ceramics transformed from rhombohedral to cubic with increasing x.New features related to the thermodynamic stability of the multiferroic BiFeO3 - (Ba0.9,Ca0.1Ti0.9Sn0.1)O3

ceramics were evidenced. The Raman activity

proved the existence of the local non-centrosymmetry and of some grain boundary characteristics at room temperature.The dependence of dielectric constant on temperature for various frequencies (100 Hz–1 MHz) has been determined. The diffuse transition is observed in the variation of dielectric constant and it provides evidence for the relaxor characteristics. All samples presented weak ferromagnetic ordering, indicating that the substitution of BCTS into the BFO matrix released its potential magnetization. Key words:Dielectric properties,Magnetic and Raman spectroscopy.

Abstract: Bismuth ferrite is one of the rarest perovskite oxides presenting simultaneously the ferroelectric (TC ≈ 830°C) and the antiferromagnetic order (TN ≈ 370°C) at room temperature. This multiferroic behavior makes such materials promising for multifunctional devices, such as spintonic devices, capacitors andmagnetoelectric memories with low energy consumption… BiFeO3 has a rhombohedral structure with R3C group space. Magnetically, BiFeO3 presents an antiferromagnetic G-type order and a modulated cycloïdal spin structure having a long periodicity of 62 nm. Although bismuth ferrite presents two transition temperatures above room temperature, yet its magnetoelectric coupling still not strong, and the value of the maximum of permittivity is too low. Moreover, the major problem of BiFeO3-based ceramics is the current leakage affecting the dielectric measurements. Adding to that thedifficulty of synthesis of pure single phase BiFeO3. For these reasons, we chose to substitute the BiFeO3 with a ferroelectric material. The substitution with BaTiO3- being the most famous ferroelectric material- was widely studied and results confirm the increase of resistivity and of permittivity maxima, and the drop of current leakage. In other hand, many papers studied the dielectric properties of barium titanate (BaTiO3) doped with sodium niobate (NaNbO3)(called BTNN system), and it exhibit interesting results as dielectric free lead ceramics. In this workshop, we present the first results of our study of the BFO/BTNN system combination. We used X-ray diffractionto verify the purity of our samples and to fix the different structural parameters. These results were confirmed by57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy used to follow the evolution of magnetic order as the substitution with BTNN increases.

Abstract: Magnetic colloidal particles are suitable model systems for the investigation of complex self-assembly on the microscale. They facilitate the study of spontaneous and remotely controlled magnetic ordering processes in real space via transmission light microscopy. We demonstrate the potential of dispersed particles with asymmetric magnetization distribution. The asymmetry enables the design of complex networks and different clusters with structural/magnetic variability. Experimentally, we observed spontaneous formation of branched structures as a result of two coexisting self-assembly patterns, which is atypical for homogeneous systems. We show that the structural bistability can be reproduced by a model of spheres with radially shifted point dipoles. The interacting particles exhibit interesting non-equilibrium dynamics when exposed to timedependent fields. Reversible structural reconfigurations emerge from the anisotropic interactions between the shifted net magnetic moments. Under a combination of static and oscillating fields various structures can be created in a controlled and reversible way. We present a concept for the actuation of structurally non-deformingobjects under oscillating fields in a highly viscous environment, aprocess which so far is considered impossible. If the composing particles exhibit an off-centered dipole moment, an oscillating field, whichinduces only reciprocal motion on a single rigid particle, can propelsuch self-assembled clusters of colloidal particles that are held together solelyby magnetic forces. This unexpected experimental observation can be understood when taking into account that the magnetic interaction between such particlesin the cluster breaks time-reversal symmetry under oscillating fields.The respective magnetic configuration of a cluster determines itsmotion path. It can range from rotation over helical to directedpaths, where the orientation of the latter can be controlled by anadditional constant, weak magnetic field. The presented concept establishes a counterpart to the actuation of deforming objects, suchas artificial flagella, in oscillating fields, and to motion in rotating fields.

Population transfer and pulse propagation in atomic media H. Eleuch Institute for Quantum Science and Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843, USA [email protected]

Abstract: The first part of the talk deals with the excitation of atomic coherence using an off-resonant strong ultrashort laser pulses. Intense ultrashort pulses can excite remarkable coherence on high-frequency far detuned transitions and consequently multiphoton processes appearing due to the counter-rotating terms in the interaction Hamiltonian can substantially enhance population transfer in the two-level system. One can suppress such processes,e.g., by making the applied driving field circularly polarized. As a consequence, predictions of this work can be tested experimentally in various regimes using circularly or linearly polarized driving fields. This coherence holds promise for various applications such as the realization of the quantum memory. In the second part of the talk, analytical results for the pulse propagation in dense atomic media will be presented. Key words:Atomic Coherence, Population Transfer, Pulse Propagation, Analytical Results.

Abstract: NMR spectroscopy is a reliable analytical method which gives comprehensive and rich chemical information about the composition of unknown materials. Typical NMR analyses are carried out in 5 mm sample tubes with approximately 700 µL sample, measuring small and ultrasmaller samples volumes are not accessible due to the limit of detection (LOD). Moreover, ensuring the viability and the proper living condition of cancer cell using the traditional NMR detectors is critical. A Microstrip NMR detector was designed to enable investigations of volume-limited samples in the low nanoliter range. Therefore, NMR spectra of sample quantities in the 100 pmol range can be obtained with this microprobe in a few seconds. Moreover, the planar geometry of the detector is suitable to the size and geometry requirements such different kind of microfluidic cellular sample holders. Since NMR is a nondestructive technique and high speciation performance, it is one of the major technologies for metabolic profiling, hence allows in vivo measurements of biological cells. In my investigations, I focus on metabolic analysis of living human cancer cells by using the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, since the cell metabolism and its link to the signaling pathways have got special interest. The lack of proper analytical device and techniques for investigation the metabolism of living cell is the main constrains in this field. Therefore, I designed and fabricated a novel miniaturized microslot NMR detector with on-board heater integrated with a special NMR microfluidic. For the first time, a real time NMR investigations have been performed for a tumor spheroid. The dynamic processes of production and degradation of cellular metabolites were monitored. The high concentrations of lactate and alanine were observed, being an indicator for a shift from oxidative to glycolytic metabolism. A cellular microfluidic NMR sample holder was designed with temperature and proper gas atmosphere controlled environment in order to maintain the viability of the studied living cells at near physiological conditions for the long-term in vitro studies. Additionally, living cancer cells will be treated with anti-cancer drugs, the real time metabolomics respond will be investigated with the microslot NMR detector. Analyses will be employed to understand the molecular mechanism of anticancer drugs action, and to find out the transport mechanism through the cellular membrane, the pseudo-first-order rate constant for the reaction of anti-cancer drug with water will be defined, which is indeed a very important factor to monitor the efficiency, aging and degradation of metal-based anti-cancer drugs.

Abstract: The nanoparticles of various materials have very different, sometimes surprising applications. One of such interesting systems are oxide layers which can be use for transportation and controlled delivery of drugs. Among them the titanium dioxide (ATO) plays an important role because metallic titanium and its alloys are nowadays widely used as implant materials. They possess variety of advantages such as biocompatibility, non-toxicity and corrosion resistance. However, some drawback also occurs during the utilization. Therefore, finding a novel material that will reduce those downsides is of great importance. An oxide layer on Ti substrate enables to hasten the osseointegration between an implant and a bone. Such layer may be easy create by simple and low-cost anodization process. Moreover, anodization process allows to control the parameters of porous titania layer since pore diameter and oxide thickness are extremely important for osteoblastlike cells growth. One of the main drawbacks of titanium implants are bacterial infections that may occur during or after the operation. Some of the bacteria strains are extremely resistant to the most commonly used antibiotics. Infections may lead to implant failure, re-operations and prolonged hospitalization of the patient. Hence, an infection-free materialsare desired. In case of nanoporous ATO layers, there is a possibility to implement some antibacterial or antiinflammatory compounds inside pores. Therefore, ATO layers may act as drug delivery systems. We have conducted experiments regarding loading and releasing drugs such as ibuprofen and gentamicin inside ATO pores. Both medicines are quite easily loaded inside nanopores. Furthermore, the release profiles show extended in time release of those drugs to the PBF solution. The results show that nanoporous anodic titanium dioxide layers may be applied as a potential drug delivery systems, in particular when it comes to bone implants.

Magnetization measurements depict the presence of magnetic memory effectin only samples substituted with Ca (x = 0.3), while it does not exist in samples with x = 0 of Ca amount.This can lead us to confirm that Ca substitution hasa great role on the appearance of magnetic memory phenomenon which is mainly due to the inter-particle interactions.

Abstract: This paper studies the effects of the Mn-site substitution by Fe on the magnetic properties and the magnetocaloric properties of Pr0.8Bi0.2FexMn1-xO3 elaborated by a sol-gel method. The variation of the magnetization as a function of temperature and applied magnetic field were carried out. Magnetic measurements show that all the materials exhibit a paramagnetic–ferromagnetic transition when the temperature decreases. The dependence of the Curie temperature (TC) and the magnetic entropy change (ΔSM) when varying the Fe doping content was investigated. The measured value of TC was 114 K, 97 K, 94 and 77 K for x = 0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3, respectively. The samples with x = 0 and x =0.1 present a second order phase transition, while the samples with x = 0.2 and x=0.3 exhibit a first order phase transition. As the concentration of Fe increases, the maximum entropy change,, decreases gradually, from 2.77 J. kg−1. K−1 (x = 0) to 1.05 J. kg−1. K−1 (x = 0.3), when the magnetic field changes from 0 to 5 T.

Abstract:

Perovskite-type manganites with general formula LaAMn1−xTxO3 (A: divalent alkalielement such as Ba, Sr, Ca etc, and T= Fe, Co and Ti) have many important effects such as magnetocaloric effect (MCE), colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) effect, charge ordering, orbital ordering, isotope effect, etc… have been observed by introduction rare earth or alkaline earth ions in to the Asites, these behaviors of original probably occurs in the systems due tothe mixed-valence state of Mn4+/Mn3+,which explains, a large number of studies have been devoted to the substitution of Mnsite by other elements preferably 3d-ferromagnetic transition metals. In this work, we report the synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of La0.67Ba0.22Sr0.11CoO3 synthesized by sol–gel method. Rietveld refinement from X-ray powder diffraction result shows that samples crystallize in the orthorhombic system with space group Pnma. We have performed also magnetic measurements. Our samples exhibit a paramagnetic to ferromagnetic states when the temperature decreases. The obtained Curie temperature is about 208K.

La0.7Sr0.25Na0.05Mn0.9Al0.1O3 prepared by sol–gel synthesis methodhas been studied in detail. X-ray powder diffraction analysis indicates a rhombohedrally distorted structure with a space group R3� C. The inhomogeneous magnetic character coupled with core-shell structure was introduced to explain the magnetic properties of the material. However, a clear magnetic transition from paramagnetic to ferromagnetic state was investigated in term of Banerjee’s criteria and Franco’s universal curves. The electrical properties of this material have beenstudied using ac impedance spectroscopy technique over a wide range of temperaturesand frequency.Detail study of impedance parameters shows the non-Debyetemperature of relaxation phenomena in the system. This analysis enables us to separate grain andgrain boundary contribution of the materials. The dielectric properties and acconductivity in the samples are explained on the basis of space charge polarization according to the Maxwell–Wagner model and the Koop’s phenomenological theory.

Abstract: An attractive alternative for extending the scaling of embedded Flash-type memories is to replace the conventional floating gate by laterally isolated floating nodes in the form of nanoparticles. This floating-gate concept has led to the emergence of the so-called nanocrystal (NC) memories which have the potential of operating at lower voltages and higher speeds compared to the conventional NVMs, without compromising the criterion of non-volatility. The last few years, significant advances have been made in NC fabrication and prototypes of memory-based on NCs for lowpower microcontroller applications have recently been demonstrated. One alternative path to further increase the memory density is to investigate two terminals memory resistive devices such as metal oxide resistive switching memory (OxRAM). This presentation will describe new technological approaches for horizontal and vertical metal/insulator/metal (MIM) with embedded self-aligned nanocrystals (NCs) OxRAMs. Electrical characterization results of the first prototypes of NC-OxRAM memories will be presented

Morphological and compositional analysis by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infra-red Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were performed to characterize the gold nanoparticles modified MWCNTs. Additionally, gold nanoparticles loading enhances the kinetics of surface reactions and helps decreasing response time. The detection mechanism and the role of Au nanoparticles will be discussed in light of the experimental findings.

Abstract: Due to their unique photophysical and electronic properties, Benzophosphole oxide derivatives 1have recently received increasing attention both in organic syntyhesis and material sciences.[1]One of the straightforward ways to access to thesemolecules has recently been reportedby the groups of Duan, Satoh and Miura, using a methodology based on combining secondary phosphine oxides2with alkynes3 in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of Ag(OAc) and at 100 °C.[2] The reaction is described to proceed through a radical process with the formation of the phosphinoyl radical 4as a key intermediate. While this method avoids the use of non prefunctionnalized substrates, it suffers, however, from the disadvantage of requiring high temperature and stoichiometric amount of metal oxidant to generate the active radical species 4. In this work, we show thatmost of these limitations can be circumvented by usingphotoredoxtechnology, where the generation of the phosphinoyl radical 4 is possible under very mild conditions and in the absence of any transition metal. Mechanistic investigations including UV-vis spectroscopy, fluorescence quenching and electron spin resonance (ESR) have been undertaken to understand mechanistic aspects of this photoreaction.

Abstract: The Objective of this work is to verify the capabilities of the Reynolds-Averaged NavierStokes (RANS) approach for simulation of the unsteady three-dimensional two high co-swirling air streams surrounding an annular gaseous fuel stream in a model combustor. The eddy-viscosity modelSST k-ω turbulencemodel coupled with a curvature correction is employed. The time average simulation results comprise the profiles of mean velocities and the Reynolds-stresses componentsas well as the mean transported passive scalar and are directly validated against experimental data. The comparison confirms the weaknesses of the used RANS models especially for the prediction of high swirling flow.

Abstract: Liquefaction of sandy soils is associated with a sudden loss of the shearstrength due to a dramatic increase of the excess pore water pressure in undrained conditions.Its occurrence usually causes significant damages to buildings and infrastructures duringearthquakes. Theproposed laboratory research investigation aims to study the effects of the sample depositionalmethods, initial relative density and overconsolidation ratio on the undrained shear strength ofChlef (Algeria) River sand samples subjected to static loading conditions. For this purpose, aseries of undrained monotonic triaxial tests were carried out on reconstituted saturated Chlefsand samples and subjected to different overconsolidation ratios (OCR=1, 2, 4 and 8). Theinitial confining pressure for all tests was kept constant (σ'3= 100 kPa). The samples wereprepared using two depositional methods named: dry funnel pluviation and wet deposition atthree selected relative densities (Dr = 18%, 52% and 88%). The obtained data confirm theexistence of a linear relationship between the undrained peak shear strength ofoverconsolidated Chlef sand samples (qpeak_OC) and undrained shear strength of normallyconsolidated Chlef sand (qpeak_NC) for the two sample preparation techniques (DFP and WD)and range of the initial relative density (18% ≤ Dr ≤ 88%) under consideration. Theoverconsolidation (OCR) and initial relative density (Dr) increase the dilativeness of thenormally

Moreover, the obtained datareveal that the wet deposited sandy samples were more vulnerable to liquefaction resistancethan dry funnel pluviated sandy samples for the range of the initial relative density (18% ≤ Dr≤ 88%) and lower overconsolidation ratios (1 ≤ OCR ≤ 4) Keywords:Overconsolidation ratio,Relative density, Sample preparation, Sand, Undrained shear strength

Abstract: Since the first report of the landmark magnetic diuranium(V) para-imido [(MeC5H4)3U]2(µ1,4-N2C6H4) complex by Rosen et al. [1], which exhibits a significant antiferromagnetic 5f1-5f1 coupling, the chemistry of this new class of fascinating bimetallic systems became an active area of research with a great number of experimental X-ray structures and magnetic data provided [1bcd]. The purpose of this work, is computational investigations of electronic structures and magnetic properties of the μ-oxo polynuclear uranium(V) complexes, exhibiting [U(µ-O)2U] core with diamond- and T-shape structural motifs.Two binuclear and U3O3trinuclear magnetic complexes exhibiting U2O2diamond-shape and symmetrical triangular T-shape U3O3 cores, respectively, with 5f1-5f1 and 5f1-5f1-5f1 configurations, synthesized and characterized by K. Meyer et al. and M. Mazzanti et al [2ab]were computationally explored [2c]. The using of the scalar relativistic DFT/ZORA method combined with the Broken Symmetry (BS) approach and the B3LYP hybrid functional, allow a magnetic properties in well agreement with experimental data. Indeed, in the case of the binuclear pentavalent [UV(μ-O)2UV] 5f1-5f1 complex, the BS ground state has been found of lower energy than the high spin (HS) triplet state. This result indicates an antiferromagnetic character in agreement with experimental magnetic susceptibility measurements. As reported for related dioxo diuranium(V) systems, super-exchange is likely to be responsible for the antiferromagnetic coupling through the π-network orbital pathway within the (μ-O)2 bridge, the dissymmetrical structure of the U2O2 core playing a determining role. Finally, the MO analysis, in conjunction with NPA and QTAIM analyses, clarify the electronic structures of the studied complexes.

Effect of iron on the structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of La0.67Sr0.16Ca0.17MnO3 (LSCMO) manganite. Za. Mohamed1, J. Dhahri1, et E. K. Hlil2 1

Laboratoire de Physique de la matière condensée et des nanosciences, Faculté des Sciences, 5019, Université de Monastir, Tunisia. 2 Institut Néel, CNRS et Université Joseph Fourrier, B.P. 166, B.P.W-38042 Grenoble Cedex 9, France. [email protected]

Abstract : The present study reports the effect of Fe doping on the structural, magnetic, electrical and magnetocaloric proprieties in the La0.67Sr0.16Ca0.17Mn1-xFexO3 (x =0.00 and x=0.25) perovskites. The studied samples were synthesized as powder samples by solid state reaction at high temperature. Their analysis by powder X-ray diffraction using Rietveld refinement showed that they crystallize in the rhombohedral system with the R3c space group. La0.67Sr0.16Ca0.17MnO3display a paramagnetic (PM)-ferromagnetic (FM) phase transitionat Curie temperature (TC). As previously reported in the literature paramagnetic (PM) to ferromagnetic (FM) phase transition has been observed in materials with low Fe doping (≤10%). In our x= 0.25 compound the Curie temperature (TC) is vanishedand another transitionantiferromagnetic (AFM)-paramagnetic (PM) appeared at Neel temperature (TN). From isothermal magnetization versus magnetic applied field, we deduced the magnetic entropy change ∆S M . Our results are interesting enough and suggest that the compound La0.67Sr0.16Ca0.17MnO3 may be suitable candidate as working substance in magnetic refrigeration. For the undoped compound (x = 0.00) doping electrical-resistivity measurement shows metal–semiconductor transition with a maximum peak of resistivity (ρmax) at a temperature TP close to TC. For 25% of Fe3+ doping amount the material exhibits only semiconductor behavior. Results are consistent with a reduction of the number of available hopping sites for the Mn eg(↑) electron due to substitution of Mn3+ by Fe3+ that suppress the double exchange (DE) interactions. Keywords: perovskite; critical behavior; second-order transition.

Abstract: Solar cells provide a renewable and clean energy by converting the sunlight to electricity. However, it is important to reduce the cost of the solar cell and increase the efficiency in order to be considered as a reliable energy source. In this communication, we present the importance of using new artificial materials as Metamaterials and nanoparticles in design and fabricate solar cells for energy. Numerical techniques as Finite Difference Time Domain method (FDTD), and Transfer Matrix methods are used to discretize the of Maxwell’s curl equations for the proposed structure in order to find out the transmission, reflection and absorption. We found that the new artificial materials are very promising candidates to increase the efficiency of solar cells.

Abstract: In this paper, we reported the effect of In doping on the structural and electrical properties of the La0.7Bi0.05Sr0.15Ca0.1Mn1-xInxO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3) samples which were synthesized by the Pechinisol-gel method. X-ray analyses confirm the crystalline nature with single phase rhombohedra structure having R-3c space group for all samples. Magnetic studies revealed that the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic temperature transition decrease with increasing In content from 330 K for x = 0 to 268 K for x = 0.3.The temperature dependence of electrical resistivity shows that all samples present a clear metal to insulator transition and having a peak at transition temperature TMSc.The

doping with In also decreases the transition temperature TM-Sc, in accordance with the

evolution of TC values. These materials indicated that the calculated magnetoresistance (MR) for a magnetic field of 5T increases gradually from 64% for x=0 to 84% for x=0.3. The simulation of the resistivity curves in the entire temperature range show that the percolation model is suitable to fit our results.

Abstract: In this work, BxGa1-xAs/GaAsepilayers with three different boron compositions were elaborated by Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) on GaAs (001) substrate. The boron fraction has been estimated using High resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) spectroscopy. Using the photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), the emission energy as well as the PL intensity was carried out as functions of temperature in the range 10–300 K. The temperature dependence of the PL peak energy has shown an S-shaped behavior. It is a result of the competition process between localized and delocalized states induced by the boron clusters. We have shown that the localization effects increase by increasing boron composition and then drops for high compositions (up to 8%). Qualitative and quantitative interpretations based on the Localized Exciton Model parameters evolution in order to explain the unusual photoluminescence behavior of the two luminescence keys. At high temperatures, the model can be approximated to the band-tail-state emission. The LSE model succeeds in accurately reproducing of the atypical PL peak emission and normalized intensity of BGaAs/GaAsepilayers.. Key words:HRXDX;Photoluminescence,BGaAs/GaAs, LSE, S-shaped, Normalized intensity.

Abstract: The aim of this work was to graft amino groups on cellulose acetate (CA) by cold plasma at low pressure using either NH3/He (5/95) or N2/H2 (5/95) gases. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to characterise the surface. Results showed that in all cases NH2 groups were successfully grafted onto the surface of the CA fibres. The effects of plasma treatment duration and the plasma gas composition have been investigated. The best results (6.4% NH2 grafting) were obtained with NH3/He (5/95) plasma and a duration of 3000 s. Kinetics studies indicate that the maximum plate was not reached at this time. In other work, the Cellulose acetate tow filters (CA tow) coated with poly (ethyleneimine) (PEI) were used to investigate the influence of amine functions in the adsorption of volatile aldehyde from cigarette smoke. The adsorption mechanism is investigated by

sate NMR, and it is demonstrated that the aldehyde are chemically attached to the surface of CA tow in the form of imines and hemiaminals. Using low pressure argon plasma in order to improve the adsorption rate of PEI on CA tow have been investigated. The X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to study the degree of degradation of the attached PEI polymer caused by the plasma treatment. The modified surfaces are characterized with scanning electron microscopy, Xray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron probe micro-analyser (EPMA).

Targets for weight lossing Dr Muhammed Alzweiri The University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan, [email protected]

Abstract: Weight loss is a global obsession nowadays since the huge expenses paid for treating the obesity-attributed metabolic syndromes such as diabetes. The talk will introduce basic understanding of caloric-rich nutrients and therapeutic targets of weight loss at the molecular level in order to obtain effective and healthy weight loss regimen. Balancing the food with sufficient amount of proteins fortifies the growth of the muscle mass instead of the adipose tissue. Consequently, the body will consume larger amount of calories to maintain the basal metabolic rate. In addition, muscle cells have more insulin receptors than the adipose tissue. This will minimize the opportunity of insulin resistance occurrence. Moreover, the protein cannot be substituted by the other nutrients. In contrast the glucogenic amino acids can be converted to carbohydrates and lipid whenever necessary. On the other hand, unprocessed food contains better amount of fibers which hardly absorbed from the gut and also it prolongs the feel of fullness as well as induces the secretion of large bile juice quantities. The later will promote the liver to convert larger quantities of cholesterol to bile salts. Hence better lipid profile and weight loss will be obtained. Not all lipids are bad. Omega group oils (e.g. olive oil) are able to increase the level of HDL and decrease LDL, while the fully saturated fatty acids (e.g. palm oil) are the worst because they promotes the lever to denovo synthesize cholesterol. This endogenous cholesterol participates in almost 90% of the total body cholesterol. Lipids give twice the calories of carbohydrates and proteins. Thus lipid profile should be controlled by taking fiber-rich and less lipidogenic food. If necessary, there are effective drugs used in controlling the lipid profile such as resinous drugs which can complex with bile salts, the HMG analogues and the lipase inhibitors.

Abstract: Development of efficient methodology to produce optically pure compounds is of fundamental importance, particularly for the synthesis of biologically active products. Optically active compounds can be obtained via three different approaches: the resolution of racemates, the use of enantiomerically pure natural synthons or "chiral pool" and the asymmetric synthesis. In the present work, natural amino acids, commercially available with low cost and high optical purity, have been suitably used as starting material in chiral pool synthesis to lead to a vast variety of enantiopure key-precursors. Amino acids were manipulated through stereospecific reactions to give the desired bielecttrophilic target molecules like: bromo acids chloride, bromo esters, bromo nitriles and binucleophilictarget molecules like: amidoximes, amino alcohols, amino acids hydrazides and amino acids phenyl hydrazides. Cyclization reaction of bromo acid chloride was first examined with amino amidoximes to afford new chiral 1,2,4-oxadiazin-6-ones, known as central nervous system stimulants, with high optical purity. In the same context, we reported a general and efficient method for the synthesis of1,2,4-oxadiazoles, a well-studied pharmacophoric scaffold, by condensing chiral amidoximes derivedfrom (L)-proline with both aliphatic or aromatic aldehydes. The study of the synthetic features of the obtained precursors to prepare new chiral heterocyclic compounds of biological interest is under investigation.

Key words: amino acids, enantiopure precursors, chiral heterocycles, cyclization reactions.

Abstract The adsorption of a metal ion to a polycyclic aromatic molecule such as Helicene is the object of our study; for it Helicene could function as a chiral molecular clamp for the cationic alkali metal.Throughout the grand canonical ensemble, processing statistical physics has been used for modeling of adsorption isotherms of lithium on a thin layer Helicene.Actually, the Hill model has been chosen as an appropriate one to present a good correlationwithexperimentalisotherms. We have foundthat an increase in temperaturepromotesarise in the number of ions per site and raises the adsorption capacity. The thirdparameter has made us deduct, through the experimentalcurves, the adsorption’

to

concludethatitisindeed a physical adsorption and that the Helicene canfunction as a lithium captor.We can notice that the entropy increases with the adsorbedquantity before the half-saturation and decreases after this particular point. It can also be noticed that for the isotherm studied, the Gibbs free energy is alwaysnegative, meaning the adsorption evolves spontaneously. The study of the internal energy has shown thatthe increase of the concentration always pulls a rise in module of the internal energy of system andduring adsorption the system releases energy outside.

Vegetated field margins can mitigate negative impacts of soil erosion off-site by trapping eroded material. Here we analyse how local management affects the trapping capacity of field margins in a monsoon region of South Korea, contrasting intensively and extensively managed field margins on both steep and shallow slopes. Prior to the beginning of monsoon season, we equipped a total of 12 sites representing three replicates for each of four different types of field margins (“intensive managed flat”, “intensive managed steep”, “extensive managed flat” and “extensive managed steep”) with Astroturf mats. The mats (n = 15 / site) were placed before, within and after the field margin. Sediment was collected after each rain event until the end of the monsoon season. The effect of management and slope on sediment trapping was analysed using linear mixed effects models, using as response variable either the sediment collected within the field margin or the difference in sediment collected after and before the field margin. There was no difference in the amount of sediment reaching the different field margin types. In contrast, extensively managed field margins showed a large reduction in collected sediment before and after the field margins. This effect was pronounced in steep field margins, and increased with the size of rainfall events. We conclude that a field margin management promoting a dense vegetation cover is a key to mitigating negative off-site effects of soil erosion in monsoon regions, particularly in field margins with steep slopes.

Key words:Soil erosion, field margins, sediment retention, management, slope, agricultural landscape.

Abstract: FraxinusangustifoliaVahl, (Oleaceae) was studied for the seasonal influence on the volatile oil yield and composition. The essential oil was isolated by hydrodistillation and the composition was assessed by GC/MS and GC-FID analysis.Essential oil yield was higher in early summer (June .0.0416 % and 0.0412 % in July) comparing with spring yields (March 0.020%), April 0.013 % and May 0.021 %). Concerning the oil composition qualitative and quantitative differences were observed: plant material collected during winter produced oils with relevant amounts of abietatriene (10.9%) and α-cedrol (4.9%) or E-caryophyllene (13.0%), linalool (4.3%) and Germacrene D (4.0%). Plant material collected during spring rendered oils dominated by methyldocosane (30.2%) and pentacosane (28.5%). In early summer the concentration of the diterpenesisopimaradiene and manoyl oxide raise but not exceeding (20.1%) and (5.6%) respectively. α-Cadinol and

-cadinene 

concentrations raise in summer to 16.6% and 5.9%, respectively. Oils were also tested against four bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli), using the Kirby Bauer disk-diffusion method. All bacteria were susceptible at 300 µg of volatile oil. Keywords: Fraxinusangustifolia; essential oil; seasonal variation

Abstract: Due to their specific recognition properties for nucleic acids and proteins oligonucleotides (i.e. short nucleic acid fragments) have a distinct potential for biomedical applications. Work in our laboratory was focused on two approaches using synthetic oligonucleotide derivatives: 1. The antisense approach aims at stable and selective binding of oligonucleotides to the mRNA of a pathogenic protein, thus blocking its expression. 2. The antigene approach targets DNA, thus aims at inactivating the genetic message. Unfortunately, in spite of an enormous input of money and labor, very few oligonucleotide pharmaceuticals have progressed from laboratory to market. This is due to a number of problems: (i) The cellular uptake is difficult. (ii) Inside cells and body fluids synthetic nucleic acids and their derivatives are rapidly degraded. (iii) The biological (therapeutic) action of antisense or antigene oligonucleotides should preferably be complete and irreversible. This is difficult to achieve with structurally modified, chemosynthetic nucleic acids. Examples of (i) antisense and (ii) antigene experiments will be discussed, directed against (i) mutated K-ras protein found in pancreatic tumor cells, or (ii) against mitochondriopathies like MERRF disease. The substitution of antisense oligonucleotides with polyethylene glycol was studied as a route to prolonged drug activity. The synthesis of nanoparticles with unusually high loading of oligonucleotides using the “supporton-support” technique was developed as a means to promote cellular uptake. Alternative methods for biomedical applications of oligonucleotides (for instance si RNA, CRISPR techniques) will be spotlighted.

Key words: Oligonucleotides, Bio-medical applications, Antisense approach, Antigene approach, Cellular uptake, Structural modifications for stability and prolonged activity.

Abstract: The SATIS project aims to establish a sustainable triple interacted structure Master degree including research, education and knowledge transfer for economic and societal benefit. Research is incorporated into teaching in order to meet the educational standards of the EHEA and the promotion of young academics’ innovative research approaches. In addition, research results will be brought to practical applications in order to respond to current and future societal challenges. The methodology proposed includes a demonstration pilot around an international MSc program in Ecology at SCU. The piloting MSc study program is based on the transfer of a research demonstration and education approach developed by the University of Bremen for the restoration of degraded soils and the afforestation of drylands (ReviTec®). Establishing a ReviTec® research, teaching and demonstration site at SCU Ismailia, the Egyptian MSc students together with their supervisors become directly involved in ongoing international research activities while learning at the same time according to an innovative educational concept to cope with the pressing problem of desertification. The SATIS project will also contribute to the improvement of university and educational system management driving to better university governance and promoting Egyptian national universities’ collaboration as well as international cooperation. The long established culture of collaboration between different research organizations for common benefit (win-win) is an important strength within the German science system. SATIS will help in setting up a long-term collaboration between Alexandria University and SCU for applied research, establishing the cooperation on specific scientific topics, sharing data and scientific knowledge, at national, continental and international level that will create the conditions for better understanding and solving the arid problems via the arid-specialized scientists. The future scientific outcomes of the project and concretely of the ReviTec site can be directly transferred to Egyptian stakeholders and generate subsequent targeted projects. Key words:Biodiversity, SATIS, research-based learning, ReviTec.

Abstract: The study of enzymes is a subjected of special importance for the food scientists in two aspects: The first one: Native Enzymes are known to cause numerous changes; desirable and/or undesirable, to the chemical and physical attributes of the food system during processing. The second: Application of commercial enzymes in food processing is nowadays a stand of technique for several food products. Inactivation of enzyme activities (native), or enzyme residual activities (commercial enzymes after achieving the desired effect)) during food manufacture is very important to get food product with high and stable quality. In this lecture we will treat only the native enzyme activities. A continuation of enzyme action may cause, for instance, a change in the color of the chlorophyll, or of the carotenoides, or cause browning of various foods. It may also cause change in the taste of carbohydrates, or cause rancidity in oils; it may cause changes in the flavor or in the nutritive value of proteins or vitamins. The presence of pectolytic activity may cause drastic changes in the texture and/or cloud stability of fruit juices. Some enzymes become regenerated after some time of cold storage. This depends on the depth of thermal inactivation and storage time and conditions. Man have to be sure that the technologically important native enzymes have been totally inactivated during Food processing to avoid their negative effect on the quality of the end product. For this raison it is very important to apply proper, simple and acurate methodes to extract and/or detect traces of rest enzyme activities in plant foods, during processing and Storage, in short time.

Abstract: More than 5 heterocyclic systems were revealed with potential hypolipidemic activity by our group such as indole (I), pyrrole, furan, benzofuran and pyridine (II). All derivatives prepared holds carboxamide attached to highly lipophilic substituents such as benzophenones and antharaquinones. This presentation aims to prepare new 5-substituted indole-1H-indole-2-carboxamide derivatives I as a model and to investigate their hypolipidemic activity in-vivo using Triton WR-1339-induced hyperlipidemic rats as animal model. The novel compounds involve 5-Fluoro-1H-indole-2-carboxamide derivatives of benzophenones1 (series A; 5, 6, 12-15), anthraquinones2 (series B; 17, 19), anilines (series C; 21, 25) and acetophenones (series D; 26-27). The new derivatives represented by compounds 5, 6, 17m and 19 have shown a significant reduction in triglyceride levels (69-90%) compared to hyperlipidemic rats. The analogous 5-Chloro , 5Bromo and 5-methoxy-1H-indole-2-carboxamide derivatives did not change the pattern of activity with all active derivatives3. The elevated plasma triglyceride levels produced by Triton WR-1339 administration were significantly (p < 0.0001) suppressed in bezafibrate (79%), in compound (5) (90%), in compound (6) (83%), in compound (17m) (69%) and (79%) in compound (19) after 12 h in comparison to hyperlipidemic control (HG). At the same time, high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol levels were significantly increased after 12 h of Triton administration (+ 86% p < 0.0001) in compound (5), (+ 53% and +27% p<0.01) in compound (6), BF and (+ 16% and + 37% p<0.05) in compound (17m) and (19) respectively compared to hyperlipidemic control (HG). Similar wise, compounds of group II have showed even stronger hypolipidemic activity3,4. R/X

Abstract: The environmental impacts of various substances on all levels of organisms are under investigation. Among these substances, endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) present a threat, although the environmental significance of these compounds remains largely unknown. To shed some light on this field, we assessed the effects of various concentrations of 17β-estradiol (0, 30, 50, 80 and 100 μg kg-1 soil) to Eisenia fetida after 1, 3, 5 and 8 weeks, respectively. Effect of 17βestradiol (E2) on growth and reproduction, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation expressed as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), antioxidant enzymes activity [superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx)] and malondialdehyde (MDA) content of the E. fetida was investigated. The results demonstrated that the highest applied concentrations of E2 (100 μg kg-1) induced 15% E. fetida mortality after 4 weeks. Notably, lower E2 doses (10, 30 and 50 μg kg-1) stimulated reproduction (expressed as the negative inhibition of reproduction at -10.9; -16.8 and -25%, respectively). However, higher concentrations (80 and 100 μg kg-1) significantly inhibited reproduction (29.1 and 53.7%), with an EC50 of 89.5 μg kg-1 for E2. A strong impact on ROS and MDA levels, leading to antioxidant responses in E. fetida, were observed. The SOD and GPx activity were significantly induced at most exposure intervals. The present study illustrates that even though most invertebrates do not possess estrogen receptors, these organisms can be affected by estrogen hormones, probably reflecting free diffusion into the cellular microenvironment with subsequent degradation to molecules that undergo redox cycling, producing ROS, thereby increasing environmental contamination that also hazardously affects keystone animals, forming lower trophic levels. Key words:E. fetida, Oxidative stress, 17β-estradiol

Abstract: We study the formation and electrostatic complex mechanism between Lysing enzyme from Trichoderma harzianum LYS1 and polyallylamine hydrochloride PAH. The mass ratio of the mixture is adjusted by varying the concentration of the enzyme at constant concentration of polycation. In agreement with recent theories, the dynamic light scattering, turbidity and zeta potential measurements show phase diagram to weak and strong complexation2. In this work, we develop the influence of temperature on the formation of coacervates using small angle light scattering3, which leads to the formation of microcapsules. This work is widely used in many industrial applications in foods, pharmaceuticals, in particular for emulsions and encapsulation4.

Algorithms for multivariate polynomials and applications Ihsen Yengui Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Sciences of Sfax, University of Sfax, 3000 Sfax, Tunisia [email protected]

Abstract: I will present an efficient algorithm for completing unimodular matrices over mutivariate Laurent polynomials with complex coefficients. Contrary to the existing algorithms, this algorithm does not convert the given Laurent polynomial vector to a ``regular" polynomial vector, it eliminates all the variables at one time (contrary to the polynomial case), and does not use maximal ideals nor Noetherianity. Note that in concrete applications in systems theory (e.g., in signal processing and control theory), most of the arising polynomial matrices are actually multivariate Laurent polynomial matrices (partly due to the time-delay).

For example, various signal

processing problems can be understood in terms of multi-input multi-output MIMO systems which are characterized by their transfer matrices whose entries are mutivariate polynomials. I will also cast light on the dynamical methods for computing Gröbner bases over rings with zerodivisors and show some applications. Key words: MIMO systems, Completion of unimodular marices, Laurent polynomials, Gröbner bases.

Abstract: Magnetic particles are widely used in a wide range of applications including data storage materials, pharmaceutical industries as magnetic separation tools, anti-cancer drug carriers and micro valve applications. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the irreversibility within a porousmicro duct subjected to an external oriented magnetic field.The Local Thermal Non Equilibrium (LTNE) is adoptedincluding viscous dissipation effects into the energy equation of fluid phase. The governing equations are solved via the modified Lattice Boltzmann Method. Efforts are focused on identifying the influence of magnetic field on theentropy generation with a change of various parameters such as Knudsen, Eckert and Biot numbers. The obtained results show thatthe irreversibility and the contribution of heat transfer irreversibility and fluid flowirreversibility are strongly affected by the presence of magnetic field.

Abstract: Steady two-dimensional flows over a multible obstacles under the effects of gravity and surface tension in water of a constant depth, and in the presence of a uniform stream. The fluid is treated as inviscid and incompressible. The flow is assumed irrotational. The problem is solved numerically by using the boundary integral equation technique, based on Cauchy integral formula . It is shown that, for both supercritical and subcritical flows, solutions depend on three parameters: (i) the Froude number F, (ii) the Weber number (iii) the angles of obstacles . Finally, solution diagrams for all ow regimes are presented. Key words:Free surface flow, potential flow, Weber number, surface tension, Froude number.

Optimal control of nonlinear systems with delay Lotfi Boudjenah Department of Information and Communication Sciences, University of Oran1, BP 1524, Oran, 31000, Algeria. [email protected]

Abstract: In the time-delay systems (called also hereditary or systems with aftereffects) theevolution of current states depends on the past values of states and/or controls.Their evolution is described by differential equations, which include informationon the past history, i.e. the present state of a timedelay system is determinedin some way by its past history. The reaction of real world systems to exogenoussignals is never instantaneously and it needs some delay. In general, a time-delaysystem arises as a result of inherent delays in the transmission of information between different parts of the system and/or as a deliberate introduction oftime delay into the system for control purposes. The delay effects on controlof dynamical systems (delays in the state and/or in the input) are problems ofrecurring interest since the delay presence may induce complex behaviors (oscillations, instability, bad performances). In this work we study the optimal control problem for nonlinear time-delaysystems via paratingent equation with delayed argument. We use an equivalenttheorem between solutions of differential inclusions with time-delay and solutions of paratingent equations with delayed argument. To show the existence ofoptimal control, we use the main topological properties of the set solutions ofparatingent equation with delayed argument.

Key words:Delayed argument, differential inclusion, minimization, optimal control, paratingent, set-valued, time-delay system, upper semicontinuous.

Solving a Tree Network Design Problem to Optimality Safa Bhar Layeb Université de Tunis El Manar, Ecole Nationale d’Ingénieurs de Tunis UROASIS : Optimisation et Analyse des Systèmes Industriels et de Services BP 37 Le Belvédère, 1002, Tunis, Tunisie [email protected]

Abstract: The exponentially rapid development of the Information and Communication Technology sector during the last decades has prompted the emergence of several new challenging optimization problems, many of which are modeled as variants of the well-known Steiner tree problem. In this work, we investigate a Generalized version of the Prize Collecting Steiner Tree Problem (GPCSTP) on a graph. Given a nodes set partitioned into clusters, edge costs,nodes prizes and penalties, as well as a preset quota for each cluster, the GPCSTP seeks to find a tree thatcollects a total prize not smaller than each specified cluster’s quota, whileminimizing the sum of the total edge costs of the tree plus the penalties associated with the nodes that are not included in the tree. In telecommunication settings, the GPCSTP may arise while designing a fiber-optic backhaul network for a fixed wireless system. More precisely, the nodes represent the possible antenna sites, which are divided geographically into clusters. For each potential site, a revenue (prize) is estimated to be obtained from the customers who are reachable from this antenna site, as well as an opportunity cost (penalty) for not placing an antenna at this location. The cost of laying a fiber-optic cable between any pair of locations corresponds to an edge cost. For the profitable business of network operators, the problem is to design a minimum cost tree network that connects a selected subset of locations in each cluster such that the total corresponding collected revenue is not less than a preset goal. Not surprisely, this challenging network design problem is an NP-Hardcombinatorial optimization problem. The scope of this work is to propose a new formulation for the GPCSTP in order to tailor an exact Benders decomposition based approach.The proposed procedure is implemented using C# language in concert with the MIP solver CPLEX.In order to evaluate its computational performance, tests are carried on several instances. Optimal solutions are found in very reasonable times. Key words:Benders’s decomposition, Column Generation Algorithm, Network Design Problem, Prize Collecting Steiner Tree Problem.

A theoretical investigation of spatial distribution of radon in a typical ventilated room R. RABI, L.

Abstract: Inhalation of radon (222Rn) and its daughter product are a major source of natural radiation exposure. It is known from recent surveys in many countries that radon and its progeny contribute significantly to total inhalation dose and it is fairly established that radon when inhaled in large quantity causes lung disorder. In recent times, Numerical modelling has become the cost effective replacement of experimental methods for the prediction and visualization of indoor pollutant distribution [1]. In this study, we developed a model based on the Finite Volume Method (FVM) implemented in FORTRAN software using SIMPLER algorithm to simulate the behavior of spatial and temporal distributions of (222Rn) and their progeny in the room air, as well as, to calculate their spatial distributions. This paper focuses on effects of exhalation from different sources (wall, floor and ceiling) and the ventilation profile on distribution the concentrations of radon and their progeny indoor. The radon exhalation rate from walls, floor and ceiling, and ventilation rate were measured as a part of this study and are used as input in FVM simulation. It has been found in this study, that the radon concentration and their progeny are distributed in non homogeneous way in the room this is due to the difference in the radon concentration from different sources (wall, floor and ceiling). Moreover, a higher concentration was observed near floor of the room, and decreases in the middle of the room this is due to the effect of air velocity [2]. As well as, have been found the distributions of unattached and attached fraction of 218Po, 214Pb and 214Po radionuclides are similar to that of 222 Rn. In addition, equilibrium fraction F and the unattached fraction ( fj ) of 218Po, 214Pb and 214Po radionuclides for different values of the attachment rate were evaluated. The experimental validation was performed by measuring radon concentration at different locations in room using active (Radon Scout Plus) technique [3]. We notice that the simulation results of radon concentration are in agreement with the results of studies experimental. The committed equivalent doses due to 218Po and 214Po radon short-lived progeny were evaluated in different tissues of the respiratory tract of workers from the inhalation of indoor air.

Abstract. In this talk we discuss the linear stabilization problem of some nonlinear dynamics on time scales. Some sufficient conditions are derived to design a state feedback controller fora class of nonlinear systems under vanishing perturbations on non uniform time domains. Usingsome Gronwall’s integral inequalities, the uniform exponential stabilizability, is guaranteed. Furthermore, based on the Lyapunov theory, new sufficient assumptions are proposed to derivethe controller ensuring the practical stabilizability for a class of time-invariant nonlinear systemsunder non-vanishing perturbations. Some numerical examples are given to support the theoreticalwork.

Abstract: Salt stress is one of the main factors limiting the productivity of legumes in the Mediterranean area. Medicago truncatula has been chosen as a model legume because of its several advantages. This study aims to analyze the genetic variation in ten parental genotypesofM. Truncatularecombinant inbred lines collected from different eco-geographical regions through the world. The ten lines of M. truncatulawere cultivated incontrol treatment (0mM NaCl), 75 mM, and 100 mM NaClunder greenhouse conditions. The analysis of response to saltstress was performed in studied lines using 25 morph-physiological traits.Results from ANOVA showed that the variation of measured traits was explained by the effects of line, treatment and their interaction. The salt response index (SRI) values revealed that F83005.5 line was the most sensitive whereas TN6.18 and TN8.3 were the most tolerant. The high broad sense heritability (H2) levels registered for flowering time, aerial dry weight, aerial water content, relative water content, weight of 100 pods suggest their utility as selection criteria for the variation of salt tolerance. Hierarchical classification of studied lines based on SRI values revealed that lines were clustered into two classes according to their response to salinity. On the other hand, results from ANOVA showed that the variation of photosynthetic parameters was explained by the effects of line, treatment and their interaction. Taking into account the SRI of photosynthetic parameters, F83005.5 was the most sensitive while TN6.18 was the most tolerant. Our results allow identifying the most appropriate segregating populations of recombinant lines that will be used to identify the QTLs for tolerance to salinity.

Abstract: Carragenans are linear sulfated polysaccharides occurring as cell wall constituents in red algae and are used as texturing agents in the food industry. Their skeleton is composed of D galactopyranose connected by links alternately α (1 → 3) and β (1 → 4) galactopyranose. The objective of our study is mainly to explore the conformational space and identify conformations corresponding to the lowest energies taking into account the geometrical parameters, the dihedral angles of the glycosidic bond. To achieve this goal, DFT methods were used in order to study the structures of β-D-neocarrabiose with the presence of an explicit solvent (with two and three molecules of water). For this aim, we first included the counterpoise BSSE correction. For this purpose we adopted two steps: the construction of adiabatic maps using the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level followed by a complete relaxation of the lowest energy conformations ,using the levels of theory B3LYP with several basis set also B3PW91;M06-2X with 6-31G(d).The principal results showed the Important effect of the augmentation the molecules of water in the system on the stabilityof carragenans.

Abstract: Biological treatments are often used in the wastewatertreatment plants in Algeria. In such processes,the pollutants are biodegraded or mineralized by themicroorganisms. On the one hand, these treatmentsare inexpensive and reliable methods for eliminatingpollutants from wastewater, but there are substanceswith which they are unable to deal. On the otherhand, oxidation processes have shown utility for toxiccompound elimination and became a viable treatmentoption for wastewaters. Numerous techniques cancomplement or substitute biological processes toaccomplish a technically efficient treatment. Becauseof this, the oxidation by electrical methods which reststhis work is one of the most possible alternatives.

The objective of this workis to use theozone produced by dielectric barrier discharges(DBD)for wastewater treatment, which is considered to be a newtechnology in Algeria, using a new generator DBD ofhigh voltage (ozone generator), accomplished in ourresearch laboratory.The ozonated water are subjected to the analysis of differentparameters of wastewater characterization

Design And Investigation Of A Conical Solar Furnace Powered By Optical Fibers C.Zidani*, Y. Menni* and B. Benyoucef* [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

Abstract: A novel solar furnace used in photothermal system has been designed. This study dealt with the thermal study and performance assessment of the system based on the idea of transmission concentrated solar energy via optical fibres (TCSEvOF). The design can be used in the biotechnology and the biochemistry fields. The aim of this work is the study and modelling of a new design of photothermaldevice with reduced losses and high efficiency. We optimize the coupling of a paraboloidal dish, which concentrates direct solar irradiance with dual axes tracking component, and the optical fibre, which transmits concentrated solar energy; this study is aimed for the site of Tlemcen in Algeria. We present the daily power obtained at the output of the optical fibre, The power supply is estimated to be 39 W at the end of a 4 m long optical fibre. We show that the energy transported is diffused until the top of the cone then disperse inside them. The energy is absorbed by the inner surface of the cone, which is made by a selective surface. Temperatures of the solar furnace higher than 1000°C may be reached higher then maintaining very good efficiency. Key words:solar lighting, concentrated solar energy, optical fibre, solar furnace.

Abstract: Numerous families of five membered heterocycles have proven to be valuable in medicinal chemistry. Cyclic Hydantoin and derivatives represent an important class of compounds in medicinal chemistry due to its large spectrum of biological activities. The reactivity behavior of Hydantoïn, Oxazolidinedione and Thiazolidinedione toward an electrophilic attack has been the subject of different theoreticalinvestigations. Density functional theory (DFT) provides a powerful theoretical framework for the study of both reactivity and selectivity. From the DFT equations, many concepts widely used byexperimental chemists have found both mathematical basis andphysical meaning. In this work to aim to predict chemical reactivity and regioselectivity of heterocyclic compounds with five-membered ring of Hydantoin, oxazolidinedione and Thiazolidinedione in electrophilic substitution reactions. The geometric study was conducted for the purpose of selecting the base and a study of the reactivity to calculate global and local nucleophilicity, these calculations were performed with the Gaussian 09 program using the method DFT / B3LYP-6 311G ++ (d,p). The calculated results have been reported in the present work.

How corruption affects the soundness of Islamic banks? Missaoui Ibtissem *, Jallelddine ben Rejeb ** [email protected] [email protected]

Abstract: Islamic banking is growing rapidly worldwide and ever more recognized as an alternative mode of financing, especially in recent years while capitalism has shown its restrictions and weaknesses. However, this astronomical growth of banking and Islamic finance has been associated with a high level of corruption in many Muslim countries. This disease of corruption can prevent Islamic banking as an effective and significantly better path for poverty reduction and economic development. The intention of this article is to study the impact of corruption on the soundness of Islamic banks (ISB).Using a panel of 80 introducing brokers during the period 2007-2010, we give strong evidence that the level of corruption aggravates the problem of dubious funding.

Abstract: The age of our ancestors goes back to the dawn of the humanity.They are buried in the earth on which we live. The ground and the sub ground of our Maghreb country retain the legacies of peoples who have inhabited these lands from the most ancient times of prehistory epoch. The oldest remains go back to two million years. Since these times back away, this area, the Maghreb, who is an African and a Mediterranean part of the world, was never emptied but has undergone during its history of various attempts on the part of peoples coming from distant lands, wanting to settle down , carrying the hope of finding shelter and prosperity. They are all outdated time, adapting to the vagaries of the climate from the Atlantic to the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea to the Saharo-Sahelian confines. Their presence in this space has not always been facilitated because its scope covering latitudes and very large longitudes by often extreme climates between cold and intense aridity. Often, in the varied places of the Maghreb region, we usually meet, in nowadays, traces, artifacts and remains of these ancestors. Each time, we perceive, the ingenuity and the capacity of this North African man to find ways of adaptation and acclimatization to these insensitive environments, making miracles by inventing and transforming materials derived from his direct environment to make diverse and varied objects and tools in order to meet his daily needs and exceed all the risks and hazards to which they were face. They have always managed to find the workarounds necessary to their survival Key words:Ancestors,Humanity,Legacies, Maghreb, prehistory epoch.

Abstract: The quantity of scientific terms grows constantly. A huge volume of the scientific vocabulary is an objective reality, since any science does not exist without its terminological base. The well-known fact is that the terminologies of the most different sciences, including sciences recently appeared, replenished and continue to replenish at the expense of active attraction, of the vocabulary and word-formation means of two classic languages of the Antiquity - Ancient Greek and Latin. Ancient Greek language and Latin language belong to the family of Indo-European languages. The terminology of a Greek-Latin origin easily assimilates in all these languages quite often through intermediate languages. A modern scientific terminology, proceeding from a language origin of words, forms of writing, function which is carrying out at national or international level, is divided into following basic groups: 1) primordial national names; 2) adoptions (loanwords) or artificial made (designed) classicisms (Greek and Latin loanwords); 3) primordial West European terms; 4) so-called Latin “termini technici” - the special terms used and unequivocally understood only by experts of corresponding areas of scientific knowledge.

Abstract: Recently, due to the increased industrial activities in Tunisia, in particular in Sfax, environmental pollution is becoming a serious problem not only for plants and animals, but also for soil preservation and human health. Our study deals with the effects of environmental pollution on soil fluoride and lead patterns over two critical periods among the crop seasons and their relationships with physic-chemical parameters of the soil. Analyses of different physicochemical and mineralogical traits of a polluted soil in comparison with those of a control one have enabled us to record a considerable reduction in both lead and fluorine content in the different soil horizons during the spring (April 2011) season over the summer one (July 2010). In addition, the study of the distribution of concentrations of lead and fluorine at the level of different horizons showed that these concentrations decreased as one moves away from the transmitting source and with the depth. Our data showed also that an acid pH appears to favour an increase in pollutants accumulation at ground level, as well as their mobility. Similarly, organic matter seems to play an important role in the complexation of these pollutants by adsorption on mineral and organic colloids. Furthermore, the results of analyses of the various correlations argue in favour of complexation of fluoride and lead with various organic and inorganic molecules.

Key words:Atmospheric pollution, fluoride, lead, soil characteristics, mineral elements, organic matter.

Abstract: The current study proposes a novel binary catalyst system (composed of metal/metal oxide nanoparticles) as a promising electrocatalyst in formic acid oxidation. The electro-catalytic oxidation of formic acid is carried out with binary catalysts of Pt nanoparticles (nano-Pt) and nickel oxide nanoparticles (nano-NiOx) electrodeposited onto glassy carbon (GC) electrodes. Cyclic voltammetric (CV) measurements showed that unmodified GC and nano-NiOx/GC electrodes have no catalytic activity. While two oxidation peaks were observed at nano-Pt/GC electrode at ca. 0.2 and 0.55 V (corresponding to the direct oxidation of formic acid and the oxidation of the poisoning CO intermediate, respectively). The combined use of nano-NiOx and nano-Pt results in superb enhancement of the direct oxidation pathway. Nano-NiOx is shown to facilitate the oxidation of CO (to CO2) by providing oxygen at low over-potential. This leads to retrieval of the Pt active sites necessary for the direct oxidation of formic acid. The higher catalytic activity of nano-NiOx/nanoPt/GC electrode (with Pt firstly deposited) compared to its mirror image electrode (i.e., with NiOx firstly deposited, nano-Pt/nano-NiOx/GC) reveals that the order of the electrodeposition is an essential parameter. Key words:Electrocatalysis, Energy conversion, Fuel Cells,Nanoparticles.

Abstract:

In this work, the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method has been employed within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) to investigate the structural and elastic properties of ErCu, ErAg, ErAu, DyCu, NdAg, LaCd and YIn compounds. The calculated ground state properties such as lattice constants, bulk Modulus and elastic constants agree well with the experiment and theoretical values. The independent elastic constants and their related properties satisfy the requirement of mechanical stability, indicating that our compounds could be stable. The ductility or brittleness of these intermetallic compounds is predicted, the calculated results indicate that NdAg is the most ductile amongst the present compounds. Thermal effects

on some

macroscopic properties of ErCu and ErAu, LaCd, YIn and DyCu are predicted using the quasiharmonic Debye model in which the lattice vibrations are taken into account. The numerical estimation of the thermal properties is performed for these compounds and still await experimental confirmations.

A new modified scheme for linear shallow-water equations with distant propagation of irregular wave trains tsunami dispersion type for inviscid and weakly viscous fluids Aicha Boussaha Department of Mathematics, National Superior School of Mines and Metallurgy, Annaba, Algeria. [email protected]

Abstract: We propose a modified scheme for simulating irregular wave trains propagation dispersive of tsunami with suitable initial and boundary conditions by applying the alternating direction implicit method (ADI). The convergence, stability and consistency criteria of the scheme have been studied. We introduce a weakly dissipative terms [1]into improved linear Boussinesq equations (ILBqs) [2] that permits the mathematical tool to simulating a transoceanic propagation dispersive of tsunami in both ocean and laboratory experimental. The new numerical dispersion of the proposed model is manipulated to replace the physical dispersion of ILBqs by controlling dispersion-correction parameters [3]. The new model developed in this study is applied to propagation of Heraklion tsunami scenario 1 (HTS1) [4] of the 365 AD earthquake. The resulting scheme is efficient and practical to implement. Furthermore, a comparison between the present results with another existing numerical method [5] has been reported and we found that they are in a good agreement.

Abstract: This work aims at determining a microscopic criterion for the order-disorder phase transition in SiC under dynamic loading. Our approach considers a statistical treatment of quantic collisions by assuming a Landau type second order transition. Equilibrium thermodynamics does not apply to these systems where an external energy flux exists. The following methodological steps are undertaken: -The construction of a free energy function within the mean field approximation BraggWilliams approximation is introduced for further simplification. -The construction of a kinetic model whose irradiation free steady states coincide with equilibrium states deduced from the thermodynamic model, while irradiation effects are embedded in the model by adding a ballistic jump frequency. -The construction of a stochastic model from a Fokker-Planck type equation to take account of the effect of cascade size. -The criterion for stability being taken as the amorphous phase, we present and discuss the variations of a thermodynamic potential describing the transition as a function of the Landau order parameter for SiC material for different values of the number of displaced atoms characterizing the density of the cascade. The effect of implantation temperature on the potential is also discussed. Key words:Ion implantation, Landau theory, Phase transition, Semiconductors

A mollification method for a Cauchy problem for the Laplace equation Djenaoui meriem [email protected]

Saidouni sherif [email protected]

Abstract: In this paper, we consider a Cauchy problem for the Laplace equation in the strip region 0< ξ < 1; ψ 2 R, where the Cauchy data is given at ξ = 0 and the solution is sought in the interval 0 < ξ · 1. The problem is ill-posed in the sense that the solution (if it exists) does not depend continuously on the data, and a small error in the data can destroys the numerical solution. To solve the problem numerically, a mollification method is considered. Error estimate between the exact solution and its approximation is given. The choices of mollificationparameter for a priori and a posteriori are discussed respectively. Numerical examples show that the method works effectively. Key words:Cauchy problem for Laplace equation; Ill-posed problem; Mollification method.

Existence of solutions for fractional differential equations involving two fractional orders Houas Mohamed, [email protected]

Abstract: Differential equations of fractional order have been shown to be very useful in the study of models of many phenomena in various fields of science and engineering, such as visco-elasticity, electrochemistry, control, porous media, etc. Recently, much attention has been focused on the study of the existence of solutions for boundary value problems of fractional differential equations with tow fractional orders by the use of techniques of nonlinear analysis. In this work, we study the existence and uniqueness of solutions for fractional differential equations involving tow Caputo fractional orders. By using the Banach's fixed point theorem, O'Regan fixed point theorem the existence anduniqueness of solutions is obtained.

ROI Selection of Breast cancer Microcalcifications Based Morphologic Operation and Mixture Parametric Distributions Nizar BEN HAMAD 1*, Med Salim BOUHLEL 2* *

R.U: SETIT – University of Sfax - TUNISIA [email protected] [email protected]

Abstract: Today’s, Computer Vision applications have various challenges to tackle including analysis time and power savings. The first tool to take up those challenges in the Automated Computer Aided system (CAD) is the selection of the Region of Interest in the Breast. Mammography is recognized to be the best way of early detection of breast cancer. Breast cancer screening campaigns generate a huge flow of mammographic images to diagnosis. This large amount of images requires a large amount of time and energy to be analyzed. In this paper, we propose an effective method to fix the Region of Interest (ROI) in terms of the whole picture. Mathematical tools and morphological filters are used to define the ROI. This first step is followed by a series of pixel labeling and image segmentation based on mixture model of parametric distribution. The Expectation–Maximization algorithm (EM) is used to estimate the parameters of the mixture distributions and assign class labels to all pixels. Different parametric distributions are used to define a suitable finite mixture models for a better ROI selection. The proposed method is applied on CAD microcalcifications detection based wavelet multirésolution analysis. The experimental results show that half of analysis time and power can be saved. Key words:CAD, ROI, Morphological filters, Breast cancer, Microcalcifications, EM

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive design model of the Multi-Stage-Flash Brine recirculationdesalination plant for sea water. A mathematical model was developed for calculations of the physical properties of the vapor and liquid streams, heat transfer coefficients, and thermodynamic losses taking into consideration the nonlinearity of the thermo-physical properties of seawater and steam. This dependence of system variables on temperature and salinity makes the system equations nonlinear and requires an iterative solution. A computer program (named FLASH) was developed to simulate the operation of this process. The studies on this process have dealt mainly with the design problem where the number of specified stages, top brine temperature and seawater temperature, distillate production are specified and the heat transfer areas, specific heat consumption and operating conditions (temperatures, flow rates, salt concentrations, velocities, etc.) in all stages and the whole process are calculated and a well tested set of correlations. In order to validate the FLASH program, a comparison was made between the predicted results of the program and other simulated results and then calculations concerned a selected plant which was in the refinery in SKIKDA, Algeria. From this study, the program proved to be able to converge reasonably quickly on the desired solution even in wild guesses. Hence the direct substitution approach of solution proved to be successful in our study and such prediction error can be considered acceptable. Key words:MSF desalination plant, simulation, mathematical model, operating conditions. .

Abstract: Iterative reconstruction methods are known for producing accurate image, compared with the analytical methods principally the Filtered Back Projection (FBP). The two methods have a series of backprojection operations which make theme consuming long time for calculation. Even more unfortunately, the iterative methods also incorporate a series of forward projection operations which increase considerably the computational cost. Cluster computers were used to accelerate the iterative methods. Different architectures were used to accelerate these process by using commercial custom-hardware such as Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) or the other approach which uses Field Programmable Logic Array (FPGA).Hence, while it is economically expensive to use such hardware boards in need for a proven and stable methods, less expensive and suitable solutions are desirable for researchers. Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) offer an alternative approach for accelerating computationally intensive process. This paper describes a fast method using Graphics Processor Units (GPUs) to accelerate iterative methods by performing Backprojection/Projection operations to be efficient as possible. Our approach is based on the use of an heterogeneous platform including CPU and GPU, and using OpenCL programming model on modern GPU platform which provides a parallel computing architecture. Key words: Computed Tomography -GPUs computing- H.P.C.- Image reconstruction - Iterative methods- OpenCL.

Abstract: The spin-polarized, electronic and magnetic properties of TbNi5 inter- metallic compound have been calculated by employing the full-potential linear augmented plane waves (FP-LAPW) within the density functional theory (DFT) and implemented in the WIEN2k package. In this approach, the exchange-correlation potential (XC) is described by the spin-polarized generalized gradient approximation of Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof with Hubbard U-correction (PBE-GGA+U). The Hubbard term of Coulomb repulsion in the 4f –shell of Tb was taken as U = 3.5eVandJ = 0.7eV. The electronic structure such as band structure and density of states have been investigated. Total and local magnetic moment of Tb and Ni are also estimated it is shown that the total magnetic moment of this alloy is vigorously contributed by the local moment of terbium.

Abstract: In this work, first principle calculation of structural, electronic, magnetic properties of the half-metallic ferromagnetic Half-Heusler compounds KBaB and RbBaB are presented. We have applied the full-potential linearized augmented plane waves plus local orbitals (FP-LAPW+lo) method based on the density functional theory (DFT). For the exchange and correlation potential generalized-gradient approximation (GGA) is used. We found that the KBaB and RbBaB in the ferromagnetic state are more favorable than the antiferromagnetic state and they exhibits half-metallic ferromagnetism, the computed equilibrium lattice parameters agree well with the available theoretical and experimental data. The calculated total magnetization of 2μB is in excellent agreement with recent experiments. We give also a comparison between the standard generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and the modified Becke–Johnson exchange potential approximation (mBJ–GGA) on the electronic and magnetic properties.

Abstract: In this work, we report a quantum mechanics study of some organic molecules of interest in the field of NonLinear Optics. For this aim, ab initio calculations have been performed in order to determine some physical parameters such as the polarizabilities and first order hyperpolarizabilities of some tetracene derivatives. Actually, the tetracene molecule was substituted by variuos donors and attractors groups in a way to generate a charge transfer in the obtained system. This later will be responsible on the magnitude of polarizabilities and hyperpolarizabilities defined as NLO parameters. First, SP energy calculations were carried out on a number of isomers using DFT methods. Then full optimizations were further performed. NBO (Natural Bond Orbital) calculations were also done using MP2 method, HOMO and LUMO energies were obtained as well as the corresponding energy gaps. After that, hyperpolarizabilities were computed and compared.

Abstract: Despite their advantageous properties, monosaccharide derived ligands have been rarely applied in the synthesis of organometallic compounds and thus a few information are available about their coordination capabilities. Most of the established monosaccharide–metal complexes are based on late transition metals. Among early transition metals, monosaccharide complexes containing Fe are of importance. The combinations of ferrocene derivatives with this important ligands are of increasing interest especially concerning their medicinal applications, only a few examples using monosaccharides in organometallic chemistry are reported in the literature. Ferrocenyl substituted glucose derivatives are particularly of interest among metallocenes of group eight elements in combination with carbohydrates because of their pharmaceutical activity. The functionalization of methyl D-glucopyranosides at 4 and 6 positions with bulky moieties was carriedout by using ferrocenyl,in particular, we are investigating the 4 and 6 positions of methyl Dglucopyranosides as coordination sites for organometallic complexes of Fe. The quantum chemical molecular orbital method were used in this study, all the calculations were carried out with Gaussian 09, at density functional theory method DFT at the B3LYP level using the 6-31G(d), 6-31+G(d,p), 6-311G(d),6-31++G(d,p), cc-pvdz, and aug-cc-pvdz basis sets, the geometry of the organometallic was optimized. The calculated structural parameters and the total positions of the organometallic do not differ from the experimental data too much.

Numerical Study Of Turbulent Forced-Convection Flow In A Channel With In-Line Baffles Of Various Shapes Y. Menni*, C. Zidani*, A. AZZI* and B. Benyoucef* [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

Abstract: A numerical study of turbulent forced-convection airflow through a two-dimensional rectangular-channel with lower wall-mounted baffles is conducted using the Commercial CFD software Fluent. Several differently shaped baffles (i.e., flat, cascaded rectangular-triangular, and triangular-shaped) under similar operating condition are compared in an in-line arrangement. The computations are based on the finite volume method with the Simple algorithm for handling the pressure-velocity coupling. The effects of the baffle shape geometries as well as Reynolds numbers are examined. The results reveal essentially, that the flow structure of using different baffles is characterized by strong deformations and large recirculation regions. The heat and friction loss behaviors go up with an increase in the Reynolds number, but its values depend on the shape of baffles. The data indicates that the triangular-baffle has a substantially higher thermo-hydraulic performance than any other ones. Key words:flow dynamics, forced convection, cascaded rectangular-triangular baffle, CFD.

Abstract: In this work, we present a quantum mechanics investigation on the 1,6-divinylpyrene molecule referenced as 1.6 DVP and its derivatives substituted in their ends by donating and withdrawing groups, to evaluate the nonlinear optical properties. Calculations were performed using the density functional theory (DFT) with different functionals (M06HF, M062X, M06L, CAMB3LYP, PBE0, BMK and B3LYP) each including a given exchange amount (% XC) and combined with cc-pvdz basis set.The obtained hyperpolarizabilities were compared with those achieved by MP2 method which is considered as a reference. We demonstrated that the best agreements are obtained with the functional cam- B3LYP. In a second step, we selected among various donor and withdrawing groups, the couple (attractor, donor) giving the best hyperpolarizabilities. Then,calculations of NLO parameters were carried out by testing the multi existing positions on the tree bands pyrene as possible substitutions positions for donor and attractor groups. The solvent effect is of interest in calculating NLO parameters. For this aim, we determined first the specific solvent for this kind of compounds. This study was based on calculating thermodynamic parameters in particular ΔGsolv by the SMD method. The properties of the excited states of the molecule 1.6 DVP di-substituted gas phase and different solvents were obtained by the method based on the "Time-Dependent-Density Functional" (TD-DFT), and the solvent effects were introduced by the model PCM (Polarized Continuum model).

Abstract:

The thermal properties of the organic-inorganic hybrid material(C12 H10 N)2 SeO4 H2 Ohave been

investigated using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, impedance and modulus spectroscopy technique. Single X-ray diffraction recorded at three different temperatures: T1 = 82 K, T2 = 293 K

and T3 = 328 K reveals that the title compoundcrystallizes in the same space group (𝑃𝑃21/𝐶𝐶 ) for the

different temperature and the lattice parameters don’t exhibit a remarkable variation. This result indicates clearly that this material does not present a structural phase transition and confirm our previous interpretation of order disorder phase transition detected by DCS measurement at 300 K. Raman spectroscopy at various temperatures confirm the presence of the phase transition at 300 K and showed that both anionic and cationic motions contribute to the transition mechanisms. The character order disorder phase transition is undoubtedly related to the change in dynamical state of (𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑂𝑂4 )2− anion coupled with conformational change of [C6 H5 CH2 C5 H9 NH2 ]+cation above 300 K. The close values of activation energies obtained from the analysis of hopping frequency, electric

modulus and dc conductivity indicate that the transport in the title compound can be described through a simple hopping mechanism, dominated probably by the orientation of selenate anions. Key words:Hybrid compound, Crystal Structure, Impedance Spectroscopy.

Abstract: In the present work, we analyze the magnetic transition and magnetic entropy change ∆S M of Pr0.6Sr0.4MnO3 sample. Using Arrott plots, we report that the phase transition for Pr0.6Sr0.4MnO3 sample is of second-order. From the magnetization measurements at temperature close to the Curie temperature, the magnetic entropy change, ∆S M and the Relative Cooling Power (RCP) have been estimated. The maximum of magnetic entropy change ∆S Mmax reaches, under an applied magnetic field of 5 T, 3.58 J/kg K for ourcompound. The RCP value has been estimated to 159.37 J/kg. A large magnetocaloric effect is also observed in this sample near 279Ksuggesting that this material can be used as magnetic refrigerant.

Abstract: The structure of antiperovskite also called (perovskite-inverse) identical to the perovskite structure of the general formula ABX3, where A is a main group (III–V) element or a metallic element, B is carbon or nitrogen, and X is a transition metal, displays a wide range of interesting physical properties,such as giant magnetoresistance. This work presents a theoretical study, within the density functional theory framework (DFT) and the pseudo-potentials with planes waves approach, of the structural, electronic and thermodynamic properties of the antipérovskite compound GeNCa3 within the two approximations for exchangecorrelation energy: local density approximation (LSDA) and the generalized gradient approximation of Perdew-BurkeErnzerhof (GGA), as implemented in the Wien2kcomputer package. The thermodynamic properties ofGeNCa3under high temperature and high pressure have been investigated by using the GIBBSprogram which is based on the quasi-harmonic Debye model. The study of this compound has confirmed the effectiveness of the two approximations andthe ground-state properties are in good agreement withexperimental data and theoretical results available.

Abstract: We theoretically study the effects of short-range correlated disorder and applied bias on the nature the transport properties of InAs/Ga1-xInxAs superlattices. We consider layers having identical thickness where the (In) concentration x takes at random two different values with the constraint that one of them appears only in trimer, forming a Random Trimer Barrier Superlattices (RTBSL). The transfer-matrix technique and the exact Airy function formalism havebeen used to determine the miniband structure and the transmission coefficient of these stuctures. In the case of unbiased, we observed that the introduction of a disorder correlated into these systems prevent the localisation and causes delocalisation wide states. This behavior is due to the Trimer tunnelling state originated for the basics cells of three singular barriers. On the other hand, in the case of biased systems, we see the decrease of the miniband width until the complete disappearance for high values of Va. Finally, the electron in this structureemits in the middle infrared region. Thus, these dispositives canbe applied in the infrared photodetectors.

Abstract: In this work, first-principles calculations of the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of the new Y-based Heusler alloys are presented. We have applied the full-potential linearized augmented plane waves (FP-LAPW) method based on the density functional theory (DFT). The structural results showed these compounds in the stable structure of type1+FM were true halfmetallic (HM) ferromagnets. The minority (half-metallic) band gaps were found to be large. The characteristic of energy bands and origin of minority band gaps were also studied. The half-metallic band gap arises from t1u-t2gsplitting but not eu-t1usplitting.The total magnetic moments are 4 μBper unit cell, following the Slater−Pauling rule with the total number of valence electrons minus 18 rather than 24. In addition, the effect of volumetric and tetragonal strain on HM character is studied. Also, we have investigated the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of the doped Heusler alloys (x= 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1). The composition dependence of the lattice parameter obtained obeys Vegard’s law. All alloy compositions exhibit HM ferromagnetic behavior with a high Curie temperature (TC).

Abstract: The potential energy curves, spectroscopic constants and dipole moment curves for the ground and excited states of M+RG system are calculated with an ab initio method using pseudopotential techniques and core polarization potentials. This technique is used to replace the effect of the M2+ core and the electron-RG interactions. Furthermore, a core-core interaction is included. This has allowed to reduce the number of active electrons of the M+RG van der Waals system to only one electron and to use large basis sets for the M+ and RG atoms. Therefore, the potential energy of the ground state as well as the excited states are performed at the SCF level and the spin-orbit interaction is incorporated. The core-core interaction for M2+RG ground state is included using accurate RCCSD (T) calculations. The spectroscopic constants of the M+RG states are derived and compared with the available theoretical works. Such comparison has shown a very good agreement for the ground and the first excited states. Moreover, the transition dipole function has been determined for a large and dense grid of internuclear distances including the spin-orbit effect. Key words:pseudopotential techniques, spin-orbit interaction, transition dipole function.

Abstract: The nanofluids are solutions composed of particles of a nanometric size suspended in a liquid.Studies of these composite fluids show interesting aptitudes specifically: a better thermal conductivity and a coefficient of convective exchange significantly increased compared to traditional liquids, water in particular. Such an increase in the nanofluid thermal conductivity can not only be attributed to the greatest thermal conductivity of the suspended nanoparticles.The improvement comes also from a combination of several simultaneous physical factors with variable importance. On thisnanometricscaleand without doubt, the thermal behavior does not share the models of larger structures, and thus furtherresearch is requiredin order to develop other more suitable models with new factorsthat explain what is observed. Particular phenomena, which have a negligible influence in macroscopic structures, take all their importance when the scale size approaches that of the atoms.Among the most representative phenomena to explain the thermal potential of a nanofluid, are nanoparticles Brownian movement, scheduling of atoms of the liquid on their surface, regroupings effects which create fast ways for the transportation of energy as well as ballistic nature rather than diffusive nanoparticulesheat conduction. The present study consists of modeling these phenomena and finding an adequate model to be used in heat transfer nanofluides simulation.Thus the aim of the present study is to found an adequate model to estimate the Oxide-Water nanofluide thermal conductivity ratio (TCR) as a function of different factors, and that by using ExperimentsDesign “JMP”. Results show that the created model predicts well the phenomena with an excellent predictive ability. Key words:Design of experiments,nanoparticle, thermal conductivity, oxide-water nanofluides.

Abstract: Recently, an increasing attention has been devoted to self-assembled semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) owing to of their meaning in physics and for many applications such astunable lasers [1, 2], light-emitting diodes [3] and biological markers [4]. In this work we present our theoretical approach to calculating the excitonic ground state of AlInAs/AlGaAs self-assembled QD. The theory used is based essentially on a good description of the electronic structure of strained constituent materials. The band structure calculation is generally used as the most important source of band parameters data. Moreover, the band offsets for such systems are among the important parameters which determine band alignment of the AlInAs/AlGaAs heterostructure.

For reasons of safety, the graphene used for detection is placed under high vacuum, with the hope of later establishing a law of variation as a function of the pressure. Owing to our efforts at controlling the quality of CVD graphene, we managed to obtain wafer that allows us to detect these low flows with a resistance variation of the order of 200 ohms in 10 seconds.

Abstract: Multiple laser-based diagnostics were applied to sooting pressurized swirl flames, operated with ethylene/air in an aero-engine model combustor. The time-averaged quantities soot volume fraction, 3D velocity and temperature as well as distributions of OH and PAH provide a general description of the studied flames. More detailed understanding could be achieved by correlation of instantaneous distributions of the planar quantities. Instantaneous local coexistence of soot and OH is minor; soot is mainly present in gaps left in the OH distribution, and appears either isolated as transported soot or linked to clouds of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) during the soot inception process. Soot formation mainly occurs in regions of low velocity and flow rates where long residence times for rich fluid elements prevail. Those conditions exist in the inner recirculation zone of the combustor. Detailed temperature statistics complement the data set and confirm a strong impact of oxidation air, which is injected after two thirds of the combustor, far upstream into the inner recirculation zone.In addition to the experimental characterization of the test cases the performance of a sophisticated soot model is demonstrated for some selected quantities. The shape of the predicted soot distribution agrees well with experiments while soot concentrations are predicted too high. Calculated soot live times seem to be too short, as soot decomposes early relative to experiments. The modeled instantaneous spatial correlation of soot and OH also agrees with experiments. Thus our modelling approach is promising for future application to technical combustion. In general, the experimental flow field characterization and the correlation with soot presence, in complement of the other quantities measured, are expected to provide a valuable contribution to soot model validation

Abstract: The paper presents the design and the implementation of an improved predictive direct control of a variable speed wind energy conversion system. The conversion chain uses a Doubly Fed Induction Generator whereas the control method is based on Finite States Model Predictive Control. The proposed control method selects the optimal switching state of the inverter that minimizes a defined cost function. The proposed predictive control strategy uses two sample time predictions and it is intuitive since it is simple for implementation. In order to adjust the measured rotor currents to track their reference values, the error between orthogonal rotor current components predictions to their computed values are used to select the optimal vector and applied on the power converter in the rotor side at the next sampling time. The present control algorithm keeps the Dclink voltage constant and guarantee that the whole system functioning with unity power factor. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control strategy.

Key words:Cost function,DFIG, finite states-space model, predictive control, variable speed wind energy conversion system.

Abstract: The study of electrical proprieties of organic diode (OLEDs) based on PCDTBT:Graphene heterojunction, for two different weight ratio % of graphene 1.5 and 2wt. % have been investigated. The electrical characterization of ITO/PCDTBT/Al and ITO/PCDTBT: Graphene/Al structures have been determined from current-voltage characteristics in dark condition. The electrical conductivity results show that the addition of graphene layers in the PCDTBT matrix increase the current density and decrease the threshold voltage Vs. ITO/PCDTBT:Graphene/AL structures indicates a non-ideal current-voltage behavior. The conduction mechanisms was studied by analyzing the logarithmic I-V curves.

Abstract: This work describes an easy and simple method for the synthesis of nanocomposites silver/polypyrole incorporated amine-functionalized mesoporous silica (SBA-15) by oxidative photopolymerization of pyrrole in the presence of aminosilanized SBA-15 silica acting as a support and using AgNO3 as a photosensitizer. Nanocomposites as well as their precursors, were characterized by several methods including infrared (IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption– desorption isotherms, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS),thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).These complementary techniques brought strong supporting evidence for the silanization process followed by oxidative photopolymerisation. The surface composition was found to be PPy-rich as judged by XPS. Petri dishes were loaded with various amounts of nanocomposites in order to compare at once their antibacterial effects.

Synthesis and Optical properties of Core/Shell SemiconductorsNanocrystals Afaf Gadalla Physics Department, Faculty of Science, Assiut University, Assiut-Egypt [email protected]

Abstract: The introduction of quantum dots into semiconducting materials provides an avenue for measuring the effective band gap by of control of particle size. Here, we investigate a composite material consisting of CdSe particles (core) which have been synthesized by modified organometallic precursors with a larger band gap CdS as an inorganic (shell) material to coat CdSe Nanoparticles NPs. The shell sizes are estimated from x-ray diffraction by Debye-Scherer formula and compared with high resolution electron microscopy (HRTEM) and optical spectra. The shape of CdSe/CdS NPs is spherical and revels that the CdS shell (higher contrast) almost fully cover the CdSe core with thickness ~ 2-4 nm. Using UV-vis spectroscopy, a systematic red shift in the absorption and emission spectra are observed after the deposition of CdS which confirms the shell growth over the CdSe core. The Uv-vis absorption spectra of the synthesized Quantum Dot QD nanocomposites were recorded and show a blue shift which confirms the presence of quantum confinement. The measurements also show an increase in band gap size with decrease in nanoparticle size, as expected. The UV-vis spectra also show that the direct band gap of CdSe and CdSe/CdS is 2.26 EV. & 2, 47 EV., respectively. The emission spectra of the CdSe and CdSe/CdS are centered at 484 nm and 514 nm, respectively, which clear indication of strong dependence on the size distribution of the particles and on their surface states. These results suggest that CdSe/CdS QD nanoparticles are useful for numerous applications in optoelectronics and photonics.

The refractive index and the extinction coefficient values in terms of Zr content were deduced from transmittance and reflectance data. Moreover, the electrical conductivity and conduction mechanism have been investigated based on the impedance measurements in the frequency range (5 Hz – 13 MHz) at several temperatures ( 320°C – 450°C). The temperature dependence of ac conductivity is reasonably well interpreted by the correlated barrier (CBH) model. Key words:ac conductivity, Mn3O4, optical constants, thin films.

Abstract: New Zn-REalloys (RE=Ce, La) were synthesized by melting under controlled atmosphere and cast in plates. The electrochemical behaviour of these new alloys was investigated in a reference corrosive medium. In the specific case of cerium addition to zinc, an anodic inhibition was also observed and correlated with a chemical modification of the corrosion products. From results of controlled precipitation experiments of cerium and zinc salts performed in carbonated medium, the presence of cerium in the corrosion layer and its protective character could be attributed to the formation of a mixed double lamellar zinc-cerium product.

Abstract: First-principles calculations based on density functional theory with in the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) were performed in order to study magnetic moments, density of states and half-metallicity of full-Heusler alloys with formula Zr2CrX (X = Ga, In). Half-metallicity in terms of totalspin-moments was discussed since perfect half-metals show Slater–Pauling (SP) behavior. The effectsof the atomic number on the lattice constants, the bulk moduli and the Curie temperature were shown.The equilibrium lattice constants are 6.635and 6.875 Åfor Zr2CrGa and Zr2CrIn, respectively. Under compression and expansion deformations within lattice constant ranges of 6.515–7.100 and 6.371–7.126Å for Zr2CrG aand Zr2CrIn, respectively, the Zr2CrX (X= Ga, In) maintain ahalf-metallic nature with a fixedtotalmagneticmomentof -1μB/f.u., following the Slater–Pauling ruleμt= Zt- 18, but the absolute values of the local magnetic moments on Zr and Cr atoms increase with increasing lattice constant.

Abstract: In this work we demonstrate that the density functional theory (DFT) based on the B3LYP and CAM –B3LYP functional with 6-31G(d,p) basis set canpredict a variety of oligomers or polymers to be used as an active layer in organic electronic devices. In this context, we have exploited this theory to study the geometries, electronic structures and optical properties of thiophene-phenylene co-oligomers. In fact, based on theoretical calculations the effect of the terminal acceptor/donor (CN, NO2, and CF3) /OCH3, N(CH3)2 substituents as well as the charge transporting processon thiophene-phenylene derivative are highlighted. Furthermore, the absorption spectra, LUMOandHOMO energy levelshave been computedin the presence or not of solvent at PCM modelin chloroform. Thus, from DFT we have deduced that these co-oligomers are good candidates for optoelectronic devices. Key words:thiophene-phenylene, DFT, CAM–B3LYP, B3LYP.

Abstract: The electronic structure and magnetic properties of CoRuFeZ (Z= Si, Ge, and Sn) quaternary Heusler compounds were investigated using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FPLAPW) method in framework of the density functional theory (DFT). The results showed that CoRuFeZ (Z= Si, Ge, and Sn) compounds were stable in Y-type1 structure. By use the GGA-mBJ, the CoRuFeGe and CoRuFeSn compounds were true half-metallic (HM) ferromagnets. The CoRuFeSi had a nearly HM characteristic. The minority band gaps were 0.557 eV, 0.444 eV and 0.428 eV for CoRuFeSi, CoRuFeGe and CoRuFeSn, respectively. The total magnetic moments of CoRuFeGe and CoRuFeSn compounds were obtained 5μB per formula unit, which were in agreement with Slater-Pauling rule Mtot = (Ztot -24). CoFeTiSi alloy can transform from a nearly half-metallic to a half-metallic alloy by employing a little expansion stress (+1.725 % relatively to the equilibrium lattice constant a0). The half-metalliciy characteristic exists in relatively wide ranges of 5.9 - 6.9 Å, 5.825 - 6.063 Å and 5.921 - 7.187 Å for CoRuFeSi, CoRuFeGe and CoRuFeSn compounds, respectively, which makes them promising candidates in spintronics.

Ours results show that increasing the width of Fibonacci’s wells af allows to the confinement of subminibands with a widening of minigaps, this causes a consistent and coherent fragmentation. The barrier thickness of Fibonacci bf acts on thewidth of subminibands by controlling the interaction force between neighboring eigenstates. Its increase gives rise to singularly extended states. The barrier height Fibonacci Vf permitto control the degree of structural disorder in these structures. The variation of these parameters permits the design of laser with modulated wavelength.

Abstract: Heterocyclic chemistry has a wide variety of chemical compounds interest, biological, pharmacological, industrial, cosmetic and agricultural. Heterocyclic molecules containing a nitrogen atom are among the elements present in the field of medicinal chemistry. Thus, heterocyclic chemistry has become the focus of a large community of experimenters and theorists chemists. We carried out a theoretical study, by the quantum methods, on some heterocyclic molecules for better knowing their effectiveness in the field of non-linearoptics (ONL). The comparison between our results and the experimental parameters allowed us to determine the method which gives the parameters closest to the experimental data, and to understand the mechanisms involved. The studied system is the molecule 4-5dicyanoimidazole modified: firstly, by grafting the donor N(CH3)2 in the molecule 4-5dicyanoimidazole (compound1C) and secondly, by grafting the molecule of benzene in our basic system (compound2C).

Abstract: The La0.6Ca0.30.1MnO3 compound has been elaborated using the conventional ceramic method at 1200 °C. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that our synthesized sample is single phase and crystallize in the orthorhombic system with Pnma space group using the solid-state reaction at high temperature. Magnetization measurements versus temperature in a magnetic applied field of 50mT showed that our sample is ferromagnetic at low temperature.The critical properties of perovskite at the ferromagnetic–paramagnetic transition have been analyzed. Experimental results revealed that our sample exhibit a second-order magnetic phase transition. The estimated critical exponents derived from the magnetic data using various techniques such as modified Arrott plot, Kouvel– Fisher method, and critical magnetization isotherms M (TC, H). The critical exponent values for the undoped compound were found to match well with those predicted for the three-dimensional Ising model. The magnetic phase transition and the magnetic entropy change (-∆Sm) in La0.6Ca0.30.1MnO3 manganite is investigated by measuring the magnetization as a function of temperature. The maximummagnetic entropy change (-∆Sm) and the relative cooling power (RCP) are found to be, respectively, 5.32J kg_1 K_1 and 240 J kg_1 for a 5-T field change, making of this material a promising candidate formagnetic refrigeration near room temperature. Key words:Powder diffraction, critical phenomena, magnetic properties, phase transitions.

Abstract: NanocrystallineMagnetic alloys have been greatly studied in the last decades and receive significant attention according to their exceptional magnetic properties and potential technological applications in magnetic devices. Mechanical alloying is nowadays one of the widely used preparation techniques to obtain nanocrystalline structures. This technique involves the synthesis of materials by high-energy ball milling, in which elemental blends (or prealloyed powders) are milled to achieve nanostructured alloys or composite materials. The work described here focuses principally on a detailed study of the structural, microstructural and thermal properties of nanostructured Fe powders prepared by high energy ball milling by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and DSC techniques. Rietveld analysis of XRD patterns reveals the decrease of crystallite size down to nanometer scale and the increase of internal level strains and dislocations density. The progress of milling process is accompanied by an increase of lattice parameter and the Debye-Waller factor revealing the Fe lattice distortion. DSC thermograms exhibit a broad exothermic peak mainly attributed to grain growth and strain relaxation. An increase of stored enthalpy corresponding to the defects recovery has been observed with increasing milling time. Key words: Nanostructured materials, Fe powder, Rietvels analysis, thermal properties, DSC, XRD.

Abstract: Recently, nanoparticles and nanomembrane are well used for detection and removal of chemical substances in water. Nanomembranes reveal a good result than other techniques used in water purification because of its high surface area and high catalytic activity.

In this work, Palladium nanoparticles (Pdns) have been successfully encapsulated in the mesoporousceramic host, at room temperature, on two steps: (i) preparation of palladium nanoparticles suspension by sonochemical reduction of Pd(II) nitrate and (ii) elaboration of the composite material (ceramic +Pdns).

Pdns formation (particle size of about 2 nm) has been

investigated using UV-Visible spectroscopy, EDX and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The textural results, obtained by SEM and mercury porosimetry on elaborate composite (ceramic membranes) confirm the influence of the introduction of the Pdns suspension. It appears that the presence of the nanoparticle stabilizer agent, PVP, combined with organic compounds, leads to the formation of high porous ceramic host with a sharply narrow pore size distribution around 20 nm, high total porosity 55 % and a low bulk density. According to the above results, the obtained material can be used for water nanofiltration.

Keywords: Nanostructured membranes, Palladium nanoparticles, Sonochemistry, UV-Vis spectroscopy, TEM, SEM, Mercury porosimetry.

Propagation of Bleustein-Gulyaev Waves in Piezoelectric BST Layered Structures Souhir Mseddi 1*and Mohamed Hédi Ben Ghozlen** [email protected] [email protected]

Abstract: Layered structures, especially thin film/coating substrate system play important roles in micro-electro-mechanical system and microelectronics packages.Surface electro-acoustic waves (Bleustein-Gulyaev waves) have very practical importance in many signal transmission, signal processing and information storage applications. Theoretical analysis of Bleustein–Gulyaev surface acoustic wave propagation in a layered piezoelectric structure is described. Numerical calculations are performed on BaxSr1-xTiO3 with x= (0.8, 0.9, 1) for the case that the layer and the substrate are identical except that they are polarized in opposite directions. The purpose of this study is to obtain and clarify the various mechanical material parameters of BaxSr1-xTiO3 as a function of composition. The behavior of the ratio x= (0.8, 0.9, 1) in BaxSr1-xTiO3 was investigated to understand its impact on the electromechanical coupling coefficient. The adopted numerical approach is based on the Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) and Stiffness Matrix Method (SMM). Dispersive behaviors of BG type waves propagating were discussed. Electromechanical coupling coefficient (K2) is investigated for GHz-band applications. Obviously large impact of the Sr ratio of BaxSr1-xTiO3 was found on the coupling coefficients (K2). Key words:BG waves, piezoelectric BST films, ODE, SMM.

The effect of the addition of ground olive stones on the physical and mechanical properties of clay bricks Chelouah Nasser 1*, Arezki Samia 2** and Tahakourt Abdelkader 3* [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

Abstract: This study deals with the effect of ground olive stones (GOS) on the performance of fired clay bricks. Seven different clay-GOS mixes with 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 wt % of GOS respectively were used for making fired brick samples. All samples were fired at 900 °C. The technological properties of the resultant material were then determined, including shrinkage, apparent density, pore size distribution, thermal conductivity, water absorption, and compressive and flexural strength. The addition of GOS to the mixture reduced the compressive strength of fired clay bricks. All clay brick pieces exhibited low firing shrinkage. It was apparent that as the percentage of GOS increased in the body, there was a noticeable increase in porosity. The water absorption coefficient decreased with increasing additions. The results indicated that thermal conductivity decreases with decrease in density and increase in porosity in fired clay bricks.

Origin of indirect optical transitions in Al0.45In0.55As/Al0.66Ga0.34As quantum dots I. Saïdi*, R. Neffati, S. Ben Radhia and K. Boujdaria** *

Abstract: Due to their distinguished opto-electronic properties, type-II quantum dots (QDs) have attracted considerable attention over the last few years. Since they show optical properties quite different from those of type-I QDs, such as long radiative lifetime [1] d dot-shape-dependent oscillator strength [2] and large tunability of emitted photon.The published reports on optical properties of the system of AlInAs QDs embedded in an AlGaAs matrix are still rather limited. In order to understand the optical properties of systems type- II, we need to establish the electronic structure of AlInAs/AlGaAs QDs, which has been scarcely studied up to now. Thus, a more adequate calculation explaining band alignment of such structures and its optical transition is required (Figure). So we can us to interpret the QD emission originating from indirect type-II transitions involving electrons in X valley of Al0.66Ga0.34As and heavy holes (HH), with S and P symmetry, in Al0.45In0.55As QDs. In this work, we report the photoluminescence excitation measurements of Al0.45In0.55As /Al0.45In0.55As type II QDs. Given that the numerical modelingof optical properties of such structure is still lacking, we also present simulations of indirect optical transitions in real and reciprocal spaces jointly to our PEL study.

Corrosion behaviour of dc magnetron sputtered aluminium coatings M. Bahroune *, A. Mosbah** and A. Saker** Department of CPST, National and Superior School of Mines, Annaba, Algeria [email protected]

Abstract: Protection of steel parts from corrosion is of ground importance for the industry as mechanical resistance is to be maintained. Corrosion protection by metal coatings using wet processes is still widely applied. However, such processes are not environmentally friendly because of the required disposal of heavy metal containing effluents. This is particularly true for hard chromium plating. Physical vapour deposition (PVD) offers a good alternative to replace the electrolytic deposits of hard chromium. For that purpose, base aluminium coatings (Al-M) were deposited by d.c magnetron sputtering and investigate in order to answer the mechanical and physico-chemical requirements. The objective of this study is to elaborate architecture multilayers nanostructured with base aluminium coatings. First of all, we elaborated and characterized the binary layers on base of Aluminium (Al-M: M = Mo, Mn and Mg). Afterward, classification by mean corrosion resistance, are done for finding the potential candidates as a sacrificial anode for steels of construction.

Key words: Cathode sputtering magnetron, thin films, nanostructure, corrosion, aluminium alloys.

Abstract: This work deals with the control of the wind energy conversion system (WECS) equipped with two doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG). The main generator is controlled in order to keep the voltage and the frequency in the rates values. The second generator is connected when the power demand increase. But, before the connection, with the first generator, synchronization is done. After that, the system is switched on the power control. All controllers are designed using the Lyapunov theory. The simulation results confirm widely the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed control.

Influences Of Anisotropy On Band Gaps Of 2d Phononic Crystal With Hexagonal Inclusions Mohamed Hédi BEN GHOZLEN and Hassiba KETATA LPM, FSS B.P. 1171 C.P. 3000, SFAX (TUNISIA)

Abstract: The existence of gaps close to the audible frequency range makes phononic materials extremely coveted, and their scope is expanding. In this context we deal with the band gaps related to a two-dimensional phononic system. This composite is made of anisotropic cylindrical fillers incorporated in an isotropic matrix. The plane wave expansion method (PWE) is used to reduce the band structure problem to an eigen value problem. Such approach can be generalized to different types of symmetry and permit new physical properties as piezoelectricity to be added. Two types of periodic structures, namely, the square lattice and the triangular lattice are examined. For a hexagonal material implantation in phononic crystal, the band gap depends not only on periodic array but also on the angle between the symmetry axis (sixfold axis) and that of the periodic structure. Altering the angle, by rotation of the cylinder, pass bands and forbidden bands of the phononic crystal are changed. For illustration the numerical calculation is applied for the analysis of the dynamic behavior of several composites. The localization and width of band gaps are estimated for different implantation factor for different rotation angles and for several geometric shapes.
