In this paper, the theory of plausible and paradoxical reasoning of Dezert- Smarandache (DSmT) is used to take into account the paradoxical charac-ter through the intersections of vegetation, aquatic and mineral surfaces. In order to do this, we developed a classification model of pixels by aggregating information using the DSmT theory based on the PCR5 rule using the ∩NDVI, ∩MNDWI and ∩NDBaI spectral indices obtained from the ASTER satellite images. On the qualitative level, the model produced three simple classes for certain knowledge (E, V, M) and eight composite classes including two union...

AbstractThere is a growing body of evidence suggesting that water temperature can significantly impact the dietary fatty acid requirements of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Therefore, this study assessed the effectiveness of different dietary lipid sources on the growth performance of Nile tilapia reared at suboptimal temperatures. A network meta-analysis was performed, including searches of PubMed and Scopus from inception to January 2022, for trials that evaluated the effects of lipid sources on cold-stressed Nile tilapia. The Bayesian hierarchical framework was used to pool and compa...

The importance of parameters such as compaction pressure, binder percentage and retention time and their interaction in the production of carbonized briquettes for domestic or industrial use cannot be overestimated, as they have a considerable impact on the properties of the resulting briquettes. This study used Box-Behnken Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Analysis Of Variance (ANOVA) to show how the above parameters and their interactions significantly influence the Higher Heating Value (HHV), ash content and Impact Resistance Index (IRI) of the biofuels obtained.

Different optical analysis of cylindrical-parabolic concentrators were made by utilizing four models of intensity distribution of the solar disk, i.e., square, uniform, real, and Gaussian. In this paper, the validity conditions using such distributions are determined by calculating each model of the intensity distribution on the receiver plane of perfect and nonperfect cylindrical-parabolic concentrators. We call nonperfect concentrators those in which the normal to each differential element of the specular surface departs from its correct position by an angle sigma(epsilon), the possible valu...

This work deals with phosphate ions removal in aqueous solution by adsorption carried out using two clays, both in activated form. One, non-swelling clay, rich in kaolinite, is associated with illite and quartz. The other, swelling, richer in montmorillonite, is associated with kaolinite, illite and quartz. Seven factors including these two clays were taken into account in a series of experimental designs in order to model and optimize the acidic activation process favoring a better phosphate removal. In addition to the choice of clay nature, the study was also interested in the identification...

It is now well-established that moisture in the oil paper insulation used in power and instrument transformers significantly reduces the transformers’ lifetimes, and can eventually lead to premature failure. This moisture should, therefore, always be removed, not only during production but also after repairs. At the final stage of manufacturing, the drying process should be carried out to remove water and air vacuoles contained in the cellulose-based paper before impregnation. Successful drying helps increase the residual life of transformers, because the presence of moisture and air vacuoles...

This paper deals with the modeling and optimization of the simultaneous elimination of dihydrogen phosphate nitrate and cadmium ions in an aqueous solution using adsorption on a smectite clay. Pollutant concentration and retention time are the two parameters studied. The experimental domains investigated are respectively from 20 to 100 mg.L-1 and from 8 to 16 hours. The tests were conducted with 3g of clay in a 25 mL mixture solution at pH 5. This study has been carried out with Response Surface Methodology (RSM), using NEMROD software. A central composite Design (CCD) was used first to establ...

Abstract The goal of this article is to improve the quality and reliability of digital systems-on-chips by creating an infrastructure for embedded testing, diagnosis, optimization and repairing through the use of hardware redundancy and reduce the speed of functional operations. The models of combinational circuits, focused on solving real-world problems of embedded repairing components of the logic devices, are proposed. The logical scheme is improved by using operational and control automaton for modeling digital devices, and focused on solving practical problems of embedded repairing logic...

The purpose of this paper is to develop and validate mathematical models of different elements or subsystems of our hybrid power generation system. Each component is modeled as a modular block that can easily be electrically connected to other subsystems. We used the software Matlab®- Simulink R2012a for implementation of our different models. The equations used here are empirical-semi empirical equations and allowed us to model our different components to describe correctly phenomena involved. It was necessary to have data from manufacturer such as polarization curve, surface of an elementary...

The label text is a very important tool for the automatic processing of language. It is used in several applications such as morphological and syntactic text analysis, index-ing, retrieval, finished networks deterministic (in which all combinations of words that are accepted by the grammar are listed) or by statistical grammars (e.g., an n-gram in which the probabilities of sequences of n words in a specific order are given), etc. In this article, we developed a morphosyntactic labeling system language “Baoule” using hidden Markov models. This will allow us to build a tagged reference corpus a...

L'objectif de ce travail est la caractérisation morphologique et physico-chimique d'échantillons de sols issus d'activités d'orpaillage dans la région de Komabangou (Niger). Les analyses ont été réalisées à l'aide d'un microscope électronique à balayage couplé à la spectroscopie dispersive en énergie (SEM-EDS), d'un pH-mètre, d'un COT-mètre et par infrarouge. Les résultats obtenus ont montré que les sols des sites étudiés sont généralement acides. En effet, l'analyse infrarouge donne les constituants majoritaires : silice, calcite, aluminium, fer et magnésium. L'analyse MEB a montré la présenc...

Purpose Following an incursion into the business world as an entrepreneur, many people go back to being salaried workers or unemployed. Using self-determination theory (SDT), this study aims to test the effects of self-determined motivation of Ivorian agricultural entrepreneurs on career retention, career satisfaction and subjective well-being. Design/methodology/approach The sample under study consisted of 171 agricultural entrepreneurs in the Ivory Coast who owned their businesses. Research hypotheses were tested using structural equation modelling. Findings The findings reveal that the degr...

Food industry and more specifically that of juices in Côte d'Ivoire, is gradually turning to local fruits. New products, sometimes derived from wild fruit species, are appearing on the market. The savannah plum tree (Vitex doniana) hitherto undervalued, is experiencing renewed interest due to its socio-economic importance for local populations. Its black plum fruit, rich in bioactive compounds, has been semi-industrially transformed into nectar. However, without the addition of preservatives, this nectar faces a probable reduced shelf life. The nectar used for this study was developed from fru...
