L’Algérie possède un gisement solaire très important dû à sa grande superficie dont la majorité est aride ou semi-aride, contenant un nombre important de fermes agricoles qui peuvent être divisées en deux types : le premier est connecté au réseau conventionnel tandis que le second est situé dans des zones isolées. Ces deux types de fermes souffrent de nombreux problèmes dus au manque d'électrification ou de son insuffisance durant les périodes estivales. Dans cette étude, nous nous intéressons aux fermes des sites isolés; elles utilisent pour l’alimentation électrique des moteurs diesel qui sont limités principalement à l'irrigation et à l'éclairage des maisons pendant quelques heures par jour en raison des coûts élevés du carburant et de l'entretien des moteurs. Comme l'Algérie est l'un des pays qui a des journées ensoleillées durant toute l'année, l'énergie solaire peut contribuer à résoudre ce type de problèmes en alimentant les fermes en électricité et en leur apportant certains avantages. Dans cette étude, nous faisons l’étude d’une ferme typique dans un site isolé, tout en montrant comment l’énergie solaire peut contribuer à son alimentation en énergie électrique amicale à l’environnement.

In this work, a new ultraviolet optically-controlled field-effect transistor (UV-OCFET) based on ZnMgO photosensitive gate with graded band-gap aspect is proposed and investigated using a comprehensive analytical modeling. The impact of different band-gap profiles on the phototransistor figure of merits (FoMs) is analyzed. Our study demonstrates that the use of ZnMgO with a graded band-gap profile can generate an electric field in the photosensitive layer, which leads to achieve the dual role of effective electron/hole pair separation and lower recombination losses. Moreover, increasing the Mg content progressively not only enables a strong UV-light absorption but also allows achieving a high optical sensitivity for very low optical powers (sub-1pW). The particle-swarm optimization approach is exploited to boost the phototransistor FoMs by optimizing the sensor design parameters and the ZnMgO band-gap profile. It is found that the optimized structure exhibits superior optical characteristics as compared to those of the conventional UV-photodetectors. Therefore, the optimized ZnMgO UV-OCFET with graded band-gap paradigm pinpoints a new path toward recording an ultrasensitive phototransistor compatible with CMOS modern technology. This makes it a potential alternative for high-performance and low-energy consumption chip-level UV-communication and monitoring applications.

Introduction: The aim of this work is to establish an epidemiological approach of aplastic anemia (AA) in Algeria, to identify the different therapeutic strategy and the patients outcomes. Material and methods: This is a retrospective multi-center epidemiological study over 10 years (from 01 January 2007 to 31 December 2016). The source of information is represented by the medical files and the consultation sheets. The collection of information is ensured by the fact sheets established and distributed to the departments Hematology and Pediatrics at the national level. Results: A total of 844 cards were received, concerning 844 patients including 746 adults and 94 children. The overall incidence of the disease is 0.21, it varies from 0.16 to 0.28 / 100000 inhabitants / year depending on the year. The average age is 34.7 years with extremes ranging from 1 month to 91 years, the sex ratio (M / F) is 1 (420/424). In adults there is a slight male predominance: sex ratio is 1.11 (421/378). AA is acquired in 806 patients (95.4%) and congenital in 38 patients (4.6%). Among the acquired AA: idiopathic = 694 (86.1%), toxic = 18 (2.23%), viral: 17 (2.1%): HBV = 13, HCV = 3, HIV = 1, drug = 13 (1.6%), gestational = 9, (1.1%), hematopoietic tuberculosis = 1. The presence of an HPN clone in 55 out of 261 patients studied was 21%, associated with a dysimmunitary disease = 5. In congenital AM, Fanconi anemia = 35, Blackfand-Diamond = 2, congenital dyskeratosis = 1. The prognostic classification according to the Camitta criteria and the EBMT criterion: out of 540 evaluable records found: very severe = 83 (15.3%), severe = 291 (53.8%), moderate = 166 (30.7%). CsA-SAL reference immunosuppressive therapy was instituted in only 49 pts (13.1%) with severe and very severe forms. It resulted in a hematologic response in 18 patients (36.5%), 15 patients died and 16 patients were probably lost to follow-up. Three hundred and twenty-seven pts (38.7%) received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant at CPMC (n = 316) and EHU (n = 11); = 277), Fanconi anemia (n = 44), amgacaryocytosis in its aplastic form (n = 3), erythroblastopenia in aplastic form (n = 2), untagged constitutional medullary aplasia (n = 1). As of 31/12/2016: 344 pts are alive, 208 died, 194 lost sight of and 98 pts whose fate is not specified on the cards. Conclusion: AA is a rare , the incidence is 0.2 / 100000 inhabitants / year. It affects young adults with a slight male predominance in adults, idiopathic forms are in the foreground and severe forms predominat Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Introduction : Among genetic diseases in hematology, β Thalassemia ranks second after sickle cell disorders in Algeria. Given the seriousness and cost of the care that arises, a national action plan is needed. As a starting point, a national survey is essential to know the epidemiological situation of this disease. Objective : To determine the soci-demographic, diagnosis and evolution characteristics of major and intermediate thalassemia in Algeria. Materiels and Methods : This is a multicenter, retrospective, analytical study of 775 patients with thalassemia major (TM: 598 cases) and intermediate (TI: 177 cases). This national survey is representative of 21 services (Hematology: 19, Pediatrics: 03). The data was collected from medical records on a survey card distributed to all relevant services. Results : As of January 1, 2017, the prevalence of β Thalassemia estimated from this study is of the order of 3.47 cases per 100 000 inhabitants. The current average age of major thalassemia (MT) is 17.90 years, with extremes of [1-44 years], that of intermediate form (IT) is 23 years old with extremes of [1-61 years], the sex ratio is 1.15. The concept of consanguinity is specified in 499 patients and is present in 49.30% of cases, the geographical origin of patients is variable, 53% are from the center of the country and 43% from the east. The circumstances of the diagnosis are known in 87.25% of subjects, these are clinical symptoms in 93.91% of patients, with an average age at diagnosis of 16.31 months for MT and 5.5 years for IT. The diagnosis is neonatal in only 5.68% of cases. Blood cells transfusion needs are known in 80% of our cohort, 86% receive a systematic and regular diet; 554 patients are on chelation therapy, the main modality being deferoxamine or Deferasirox type monotherapy. 40 MT patients received Hematopoetic Stem Cell Transplantation. The monitoring of iron overload was based mainly on the determination of ferritinemia, only 8.8% of patients received cardiac and hepatic MRI. Various complications associated with iron overload have been reported, the most common being: Hepatic injury (48%), heart disease (36%), diabetes (30%), hypothyroidism (29.17). %), with average ages of onset of 26.67, 18, 19, and 14.50 years, respectively. In addition, viral serology was performed in 536 patients, 64 (11.9%) of whom were carriers of anti-HCV Ab. Conclusion : The quality and life expectancy of thalassemic patients has improved significantly in recent years; complications related to iron overload remain the leading cause of death, the means of evaluation remain insufficient in our country. In addition, the care of our patients must be standardized on the national territory. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Le constate dans cette étude et l’augmentation de l’essai de la microdureté et la résistivité électrique, avec l’augmentation du taux de déformation. On à remarquée une diminution de ces dernier avec l’effet de traitement thermique. L’analyse de la tailles des grains montre une diminution avec l’augmentation du taux de déformation et l’effet du traitement thermique conduit à une homogénéisation des tailles des grains à fort taux de déformation et long durée de maintien de recuit, l’étude de la texture de recristallisation montre que l’état tréfilé et recuit se compose de même renforcement que le fil machine fibre //DN et //DN. On observe aussi après recuit une forte diminution de l’intensité de la fibre //DN majoritaire à l’état tréfilé. En revanche, la fibre //DN reste stable.
