On the Self-Organization of Dielectric Barrier Discharges
The present paper contains experimental analysis of the spatiotemporal structure of atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier
discharge (DBD) in a packet-pulse excitation mode widely used as an effective tool for plasma modification of various media. The motivation is the need to optimize the conditions for DBD plasma obtaining with a homogeneous diffuse structure.
It is shown that for a discharge gap of the millimeter range (1–3 mm) in atmospheric air, under certain conditions, a number of new plasma phenomena are possible - the effects of an increase in the density (total number) of filamentary
discharges over time, both unchanged and with a decrease in the area of the filaments, as well as the formation of complex
space-time structures. An interpretation of this phenomenon is proposed. Homogeneous diffuse discharges are obtained in
a standard electrode configuration with a single dielectric
Case of the Algerian Oasis after its Invasion by Modern Irrigation Techniques; Example of the Oasis of Beni Ounif in Southwest Algeria
The oasis of Beni Ounif depends on water to ensure its sustainability, like all the Algerian oases which suffer from overconsumption
of this precious element in a desert of more than two million kilometers. Because it is the most important factor
in preserving the lives of all who live in this arid environment.
Genetic Relatedness and Characterization of O25b-B2-ST131, in Stool Isolates of Extended-Spectrum Cephalosporin-Resistant Escherichia Coli Strains in Healthy Children under 10 Years of Age
Background and Purpose: Escherichia coli (E. coli) is one of the multidrug-resistant pathogens, producing extendedspectrum beta-lactamase enzymes. Molecular typing of this pathogen can be useful for determining the source of dissemination and transfer of resistance and virulence genes of these isolates. Considering the significance of infection in children, in this study, we examined the stool flora of children (<10 years) to show the characteristics and clonal relationship of the isolates.
Multiple intracerebral hemorrhagic lesions complicating minimal cranioencephalic trauma in a child with severe hemophilia A, trisomy 21 and sickle cell trait carrier: a case report
Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a life-threatening complication in hemophilia. It often occurs during childhood after minimal head trauma. It poses a problem of diagnostic and therapeutic management, especially in Africa where CFCs are not always available.
Permeable Rective Barrier Using Bottom Ash and Clay for The Removal of Contaminants Presesent in Leachate
The Rapid generation rate of solid waste due to increasing population and industrialization leads to open dumping of solid waste. This causes serious environmental risk of groundwater contamination due to landfill leachate, that consists of heavy metals and impurities.
Removal of Heavy Metals from Groundwater by Hydrous Ferric Oxide-Modified Peanut Shell
This study reports the adsorption capacity of copper Cu (II) and nickel Ni (II) of biochar obtained from peanut shell. The kinetics and equilibrium of biosorption were examined in detail. Two kinetic models (pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order) were used to correlate the experimental data and to determine the kinetic parameters. Two well-known adsorption isotherms were chosen to describe the biosorption equilibrium (Langmuir and Freundlich). The equilibrium isotherms showed that modified peanut shells possess high affinity, sorption capacity for Cu (II) and Ni (II) ions, sorption capacities of 37.443 mg/g Cu (II) and 28.626 mg/g Ni (II) biomass, respectively. All results showed that peanut shells biomass is an attractive, alternative low-cost bio sorbent for removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous media, therefore biomass materials find good application prospects.
Shadow Spaces… Territorial Reserve
The collection and disposal of waste is ancient, but has become a crucial issue in a relatively recent time, as far as quantity to recuperate, recovery of resources to deal with, novelty and variety of materials to destroy and disposal techniques at hand. It is known that a consumer society produces an extraordinary quantity of scrap and it is now clear there is urgency of change in disposal management.
Molecular Characterization and Resistance Patterns of Multidrug MethicillinResistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Wound
Staphylococcus aureus is a serious risk to public health as it triggers human infections ranges from wound abscess to life threatening states. As involvement to the global effort the objectives of this study were to examine the incidence of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Taif region, Saudi Arabia. Moreover, this work aimed to estimate the relation between the phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility patterns and the antibiotic resistance genes mong MRSA isolates. A total of 67 wound specimens were taken from patients.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was selected by growing on Mannitol Salt Agar supplemented with methicillin
(5 mg/l). The prevalence of methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant (MRSA) wound carriage among patients
was 51 and 49 %, respectively.
Effect of Killing Methods on the Insect Fauna and Succession on African Giant Rat Cricetomys gambianus
The rise in insecurity and criminal activities remains one of the major challenges facing Nigeria. This has resulted in loss of lives in violent crimes, in addition to the deaths occurring naturally and from suicide deaths using chemicals. Collecting evidences at a crime scene requires that the evidences are accurately interpreted for proper investigation and use in court of law.
An Adjuvant Approach to Alleviate Reoccurring or Treatment Resistant Symptoms of IBD in Companion Animals
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a common yet distressing condition afflicting tissues of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in
companion animals; symptoms include vomiting, diarrhoea, loss of appetite and weight loss. Pathogenesis of IBD may link to both
diet and parasitic or bacterial infections of the gut. Although current treatments may provide some relief to the animal, unfortunately
recurrent flaring of symptoms is not uncommon. Therapeutic interventions available to the veterinarian include those that focus on
treating any underlying infection and or a change in diet, both employed with the aim of reducing inflammation.

Sources of Indoor Air Pollutants in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Including Skunk Liquid, Household Cleaning Products, and Others
The air pollution’s situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) can be simply described as ‘catastrophic.’
Effects of Planting Dates on Nutritional and Phytochemical Compositions of Onion Varieties Under Rain-fed and Irrigation Facilities in Ogbomoso, Nigeria
Onion is a high-value vegetable consumed in Nigeria on a daily basis, and it forms an integral part of the diet, but the nutritional quality is low due to lack of appropriate cultural practices. The study examined the effects of planting dates on the nutritional quality of onion varieties in Ogbomoso, Nigeria. Five onion varieties (Local white, a local red, karibou, gandiol+, and safari) were subjected into four different planting dates namely, two under rain-fed (early April and August) and two under irrigation (early September and
November).
Changing of Charge Carriers Concentration in a Diffusion-Junction Rectifier with Variation of Radiation Processing of Materials
In this paper we analyzed changing of dynamics of redistribution of dopant during manufacturing of diffusion-junction rectifier in a
heterostructure due to radiation processing.
Recent Advancements Involving Immunoliposomes to Target Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is caused by genetic abnormalities resulting in uncontrolled growth of breast cells, and is the most commonly diagnosed cancer amongst women. The clinical use of liposomal-based drugs to treat solid tumors such as breast cancer has been shown to improve the overall pharmacological properties of otherwise “unencapsulated” cytotoxic agents.
Preparation of Large Area Anodic Alumina Membranes and their Application to Thin Film Fuel Cell
The design of an electrochemical reactor for the preparation of self-supported comparatively thin (up to 10 μm) and large area (up to 50 cm2) anodic alumina membranes is described allowing growth of porous alumina at high applied potential (up to 150 V) without burning.
