Belkhiri A, Bouam S, Arar C. ELAREES: An Energy-Aware and Reliable Task Scheduling Algorithm for Heterogeneous Multiprocessor Real-Time Systems. International Journal of Performability Engineering [Internet]. 2025;21 (7) :382-391. Publisher's VersionAbstract

This paper presents ELAREES, a task scheduling algorithm for heterogeneous multiprocessor real-time systems, designed to optimize energy savings while enhancing fault tolerance. ELAREES addresses the dual challenges of fault tolerance in task execution and communication reliability between tasks, alongside efficient power management. The algorithm employs a primary/backup strategy, assigning each task a primary execution on a low-power (LP) core and a backup on a high-performance (HP) core to ensure resilience against execution faults. Furthermore, ELAREES integrates a robust communication protocol that monitors data transmission over shared media connection buses, dynamically selecting optimal transmission paths and initiating retransmissions when necessary to mitigate communication errors. By leveraging Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) and Dynamic Power Management (DPM) techniques, ELAREES achieves significant power savings while maintaining high system reliability. Simulation results demonstrate consistent power savings of approximately 30% across various scenarios, with only a minimal impact of 0.02% on reliability. This research contributes to the field of energy-efficient computing in real-time systems, offering a comprehensive solution for managing the trade-offs between energy consumption, execution fault tolerance, and communication reliability in heterogeneous multicore environments.

DEMAGH A. Practices of Medical French in Algeria: Describing Exolingual Disfluencies. ZAOULI [Internet]. 2025;9 (2). Publisher's VersionAbstract

This article presents a linguistic analysis of language dysfluencies produced in exolingual situations. The study is based on a collection of real interactions recorded between Algerian doctors in a university hospital in the country. Following a corpus linguistics approach, the oral data were transcribed according to conventions adapted to spoken language. The description will focus on communication strategies that help manage the production difficulties encountered. The objective of the article is to identify the most frequent markers of disfluencies in the corpus, such as lexical repetitions, interrupted sentences, and terminological confusions. Additionally, it aims to explore whether there is a functional link between these disfluencies and language cooperation strategies, in order to ensure the dynamic of exolingual communication in a linguistic and professional context.

HADJIDJ N, Benbrahim M, Ounnas D, Mouss L-H. Global maximum power point tracking method for photovoltaic systems using Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models and ANFIS approach. Electrical Engineering & Electromechanics [Internet]. 2025;2. Publisher's VersionAbstract

Introduction. A new global maximum power point tracking (GMPPT) control strategy for a solar photovoltaic (PV) system, based on the combination of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models and an ANFIS, is presented. The novelty of this paper lies in the integration of T-S fuzzy models and the ANFIS approach to develop an efficient GMPPT controller for a PV system operating under partial shading conditions.

Purpose. The new GMPPT control strategy aims to extract maximum power from the PV system under varying weather conditions or partial shading.

Methods. An ANFIS algorithm is used to determine the maximum voltage, which corresponds to the actual maximum power point, based on PV voltage and current. Next, the nonlinear model of the PV system is employed to design the T-S fuzzy controller. A reference model is then derived based on the maximum voltage. Finally, a tracking controller is developed using the reference model and the T-S fuzzy controller. The stability of the overall system is evaluated using Lyapunov's method and is represented through linear matrix inequalities expressions.

The results clearly demonstrate the advantages of the proposed GMPPT-based fuzzy control strategy, showcasing its high performance in effectively reducing oscillations in various steady states of the PV system, ensuring minimal overshoot and a faster response time. In addition, a comparative analysis of the proposed GMPPT controller against conventional algorithms, such as Incremental Conductance, Perturb & Observe and Particle Swarm Optimization, shows that it offers a fast dynamic response in finding the maximum power with significantly less oscillation around the maximum power point.

Benabdelmoumene Z, Baheddi M, Bougouffa I. Experimental study on the cyclic swelling- shrinkage behavior of soil in the Algerian region of N’Gaous. International Journal of Mining and Geo-Engineering [Internet]. 2025;59 (1). Publisher's VersionAbstract

The phenomenon of swelling-shrinkage has gained widespread attention in practice owing to the generation of eroded clayey layers of soil that amplify with global climate change and the seasonal water content. This provokes several serious disorders affecting the stability of nearby constructions and consequently generating human loss. The expansive clayey soils show the phenomena of wetting and drying cycles in their natural state (undisturbed soil). Hence, classical oedometric tests are found to be unable to take into account the thermal behavior of naturally swelling soils; this is proven by the resulting asymptotic volumetric behavior, as well as the steady values of the potential of swelling and shrinkage. The main aim of this experimental analysis is to derive a test that considers the significant effect of temperature. Experimental results of an oedometric approach are represented herein for the purpose of investigating the volumetric and hydric behavior of naturally swelling soil in the region of N’Gaous (Eastern Batna province, Algeria) through drying-wetting paths. Innovative expressions are derived for the direct computations of the swelling-shrinkage potential in terms of water content, appearance time and applied loads. It is of interest to mention that those expressions are applicable to other regions in the world with similar soil geotechnical and chemical characteristics and conditions. The cyclic outputs show that the swelling pressure variation with the appearance time is mainly related to the first cycle of swelling shrinkage; as it exhibits a noticeable increase in the swelling potential with the amplification of applied loads until reaching a state of steadiness. The experimental results demonstrate a high degree of reliability and correlation with the soil behavior. Therefore, the swelling shrinkage potentials are expressed innovatively in equations that help predict the soil behavior in expansive regions in order to enhance the safety of nearby foundations.

Yahia A, Makhloufi M-T, Chafaa K, Terki N, Hamiane M. Enhanced Maximum Power Point Tracking for Photovoltaic Systems Using Adaptive Fuzzy Control. Journal of Robotics and Control (JRC) [Internet]. 2025;6 (3). Publisher's VersionAbstract

The growing need for clean energy has made solar panels an essential solution. However, the nonlinear behavior of photovoltaic (PV) systems under varying weather conditions necessitates advanced control strategies to ensure optimal energy harvesting. This paper presents an enhanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) approach that integrates the conventional Perturb and Observe (P&O) method with an Indirect Adaptive Fuzzy Controller (IAFC). While P&O is known for its simplicity, it suffers from steady-state oscillations and slow response during environmental changes. To address these issues, the IAFC adaptively adjusts the perturbation step using a Lyapunov-based rule to improve convergence and minimize power fluctuations. The proposed method achieves Maximum Power Point tracking within less than 0.025 s, compared to 0.05 s for the conventional P&O algorithm. This enhances the credibility of our dynamic performance claim. Specifically, unlike prior fuzzy-P&O hybrids with fixed rule sets, our method leverages Lyapunov-based adaptation to dynamically adjust the control action, improving convergence and robustness under changing conditions. We also included a quantitative metric showing a 75% reduction in power fluctuations compared to conventional P&O. Simulation results under varying sunlight conditions demonstrate fast convergence and improved power stability. The proposed IAFC method clearly outperforms classical P&O in tracking accuracy, responsiveness, and overall energy yield.
