International audience; The obsolescence and diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages, O/DMSMS in short, have consequences on the products architecture and on their desirability, usefulness, or usability. Different strategies are used to mitigate these r...

Through this corrigendum the authors declare that a version of this article entitled “Solution of Radiative Transfer Equation with a Continuous and Stochastic Varying Refractive Index by Legendre Transform Method” [1] that was published elsewhere has been retracted [2]....

International audience; We investigate the evolution of the surface of a highly alloyed stainless steel (Sanicro 28) upon immersion in aqueous phosphoric acid solutions. For this purpose, both short-(few hours) and long-term immersion (several days) were carried out. A ...

International audience; In this work, we combined a hierarchical nano-array effect of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) with a metallic surface of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to design a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) scattering substrate for sensitive detection of...

Regions of the south-western Mediterranean basin were the focus of many studies since they have experienced a series of climate changes. The contribution of the North Atlantic Oscillation in precipitations is required to be analyzed with the aim to understand the possib...

North and West Africa are the most vulnerable regions to drought, due to the high variation in monthly precipitation. An accurate and efficient monitoring of drought is essential. In this study, we use TRMM data with remote sensing tools for effective monitoring of drou...

International audience; Self-inducing turbines are a model of mixers that ensure the aeration of a fluid field without using a sparger and a surface aerator. Nevertheless, this type of turbines remain quite complicated in terms of behavior of the fluid within the tank, ...

The objective of this paper was to study the production and the mass transfer of geranyl acetate known for its interesting green odor properties. Lipase-catalyzed geranyl acetate production via transesterification reaction with ethyl acetate in organic solvent was inves...

Gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometer (GC–MS) was used to identify and to quantify neutral sugars that constitute the water soluble polysaccharides from Zizyphus lotus fruit. The trimethylsilyl (TMS) method was successfully used for derivatization of the monos...

<jats:p>Feeding habits of the invasive spider crab Libinia dubia from the Mediterranean Sea were studied in the Gulf of Gabès (Tunisia) using the frequency of occurrence and points methods. The population was sampled at least monthly between November 2015 and October 20...
