The Hydrogenated nanocrystalline cubic silicon carbide (nc-3C-Si:H) based solar cell with interesting efficiency, find her place promoted in photovoltaic applications. To improve the sunlight absorption and its electrical performances, the structure of the solar cell can be optimized, combining new materials to form multi-layers solar cells. In this context, the nc-3C-SiC:H, having a wide band gap, excellent optical, electrical and structural properties is used as wide bandgap absorber layer. In this work, we report a theoretical study of new optimized nc-3C-SiC:H/ i-a-Si:H/ a-Si:H/ µc-Si solar cell using the SCAPS one dimension program. We investigate the temperature and incident light intensity effect on the DC parameters of the solar cell. For the proposed structure, optimal power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 16.89% is registered under AM1.5G spectrum at room temperature.

Groundwater of the El-Kantara plain needs greater attention, because it is the alternative source of water for domestic and agricultural purposes. Water pollution affects both water quality and human health. Hence it is essential for continuous monitoring of the quality of groundwater so that pollution can be minimized. This study aims to evaluate the degree and extent of contamination of the Mio-Plio-Quaternary alluvial aquifer, in the El-Kantara area, Northern Biskra region (Algeria). A pollution index of groundwater (PIG) is proposed for quantification of water contamination at eleven (11) sampling different wells during four times at each well (dry period: September 2011/2014 and wet period February 2012/2015). PIG quantifies the status of concentrations of water quality measures with respect to their drinking water quality standards. The computed values of Pollution Index Groundwater (PIG) of El-Kantara aquifer in El-Hai River Basin vary from 0.746 (Insignificant pollution during wet period; February 2015) to 6.287(Very high pollution during dry period; September 2014). Spatial variation map has been prepared using GIS reveled that most of the study area accounts for very high pollution zones (61.36% of samples).
El Kantara平原的地下水需要更多的关注，因为它是家庭和农业用水的替代水源。水污染影响水质和人类健康。因此，必须持续监测地下水质量，以便将污染降至最低。本研究旨在评估Biskra北部El Kantara地区（阿尔及利亚）Mio Plio第四纪冲积含水层的污染程度和程度。建议采用地下水污染指数（PIG）对11口不同井的水污染进行量化，每口井采样四次（旱季：2011/2014年9月，雨季：2012/2015年2月）。PIG根据饮用水质量标准对水质指标的浓度状况进行量化。El Hai河流域El Kantara含水层地下水污染指数（PIG）的计算值在0.746（丰水期轻度污染；2015年2月）至6.287（枯水期极高污染；2014年9月）之间。利用GIS绘制的空间变化图表明，研究区域大部分为高污染区（61.36%的样本）。

The objective of this work is to study the chemistry of groundwater in the messaad plateau which is located 300km south of the capital of Algiers. The results obtained showed that the waters are very strongly mineralized overall, with a predominance of calcium sulphate facies and calcium chloride facies. a high degree of mineralization in the South and South-East part of the study area near Oued Messaad. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) has shown that the increase in mineralization is mainly due to the dissolution of evaporative mineral-rich salt-bearing formations. The hydro-chemical model based on Artificial Neuron Networks (ANN) of the multilayer perceptron (MLP) type has shown that the SO4 2-,Cl- ,Ca2+,Na+ ions are the most important factors influencing the electrical conductivity of water. These ions are the result of the dissolution of gypsum and halite continuously in the clays and marls of the Barremian formations.

Wetlands have an inestimable importance in different regions of the world. Algeria is rich in wetlands which are among the most precious resources in terms of biological diversity. Water birds are particularly attractive and important because of their long-distance migrations and their potential as indicators of the status and value of wetlands. This is how; works on the avifauna are still more and rarer, in Algeria and particularly in the area of Tiaret. It’s, with this in mind, that our study, which relates to the assessment of the biodiversity of birds in the wetlands of Tiaret area and Tissemsilt area, over a period of two years, from 2016 to 2018, and this in order to inventory and determine the distribution of all species of birds, photographed or captured and recognize species of ecological, trophic and phenological interest, located in these regions which remains still virgin.

This paper outlines an investigation into the effect of incorporating rolled aggregate powder as a cement replacement on mortar mechanical strength and resistance against sulfuric acid attack. The study examined compressive strength, and mass loss changes of mortars based on 10, 20 and 30% rolled aggregate powder replacement rates immersed in fresh water and 12 weeks in 5% sulfuric acid solutions. Experimental results showed improved compressive strength, with 10 and 20% rolled aggregate powder replacement rates and enhance mortar resistance to aggressive sulfuric acid attack.

A hydraulic jump is a characteristic phenomenon in open channel flow, downstream of block ramps or rock chutes a hydraulic jump can occur over a rough bed with great energy dissipation. This paper analyses the hydraulic jump that occurs in homogeneous rough minor beds in rectangular compound channels. the parameters that influence the length of the jump were systematically investigated [24]. the analyses of the phenomenon were conducted using the general jump equation. the experimental data were elaborated in order to supply a new formulation of the general jump equation that accounts for the minor bed roughness. New formulas that satisfactorily agree with the experimental data are proposed. The results showed that rough beds can be used to dissipate the excess hydraulic jump energy instilling basins.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the phytochemical constituents and anticoagulant, and antibacterial activities of phenolic extracts obtained from flaxseed. The quantitative estimation of total phenols by the colorimetric method showed that both aqueous and methanolic extracts are low in these compounds. The evaluation of the antibacterial activity of polyphenols was carried out by the disc method by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The results showed that no antibacterial activity with polyphenols was observed; against the five bacteria tested.The anticoagulant activity of polyphenols was also evaluated in vitro using the cephaline-kaolin (TCK) and Quick time (TQ) tests. The coagulation times obtained on normal plasma indicate that they have moderate activity on both coagulation pathways.

The residential open spaces microclimate especially the wind environment, is widely affected by its surrounding buildings. This paper aims to assess the influence of residential buildings on urban microclimate in the North Est region of Algeria. This assessment performed using the in-situ measurements of different microclimate’s settings, during summer and winter. Comparing between two existing city housing blocks, the present study showed that, the higher one results lower temperatures outdoor spaces in winter and summer. Furthermore, the passage under the building improves the accessibility, the ventilation in the inside corner of the city block, but may increase the wind speed so it causes pedestrians discomfort and safety issues.

An effective method of managing solid wastes from agricultural processing is through thermochemical conversion to energy-dense and carbon-neutral energy products; which relieves the issue of depleting global resources, solves the problem of over-reliance on fossil fuel, reduces the impact on the environment, and brings economic benefits. In this study, the suitability of agricultural solid wastes as potential feedstock for electricity generation in Nigeria via a combined pyrolysis–steam power plant technology was assessed. Technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution was used to identify the most appropriate raw material for electricity generation among the considered alternatives–rice husk, corncob, and palm kernel shell. These wastes showed high electricity generation potential (232–2077GWh per annum), high profitability index, and high carbon reduction benefit (about1428kg CO2 eq. /m3of bio-oil).
