Abstract Les crues soudaines « inondations éclaires constituent un type de catastrophe naturelle qui représente une menace majeure pour la population, les constructions urbaines et les infrastructures routières et l’environnement. En Tunisie, ce phénomène est connu depuis les années soixante et s’est poursuivi jusqu’à nos jours. Les plus importantes ont été enregistrées pendant les années pluvieuses de 1969, 1983, 2003 et 2012. Afin d‘identifier les zones à risque d’inondation et réduire la vulnérabilité des enjeux, une approche cartographique numérique (Flash Flood Risk Mapping ; FFRM) a été adoptée pour l’élaboration d’un plan de prévention des risques d’inondation (PPRI) dans le Nord-Est… More >

Abstract The geomorphology of the Htab river watershed is mainly guided by the action of the E-W Kasserine fault. This activity influenced the installed hydrographic system. To see the impact of neotectonic on the Htab river watershed, four morphometric indices were applied: the elongation ratio, the hypsometric curve, the hypsometric integral, and the asymmetry factor. The processing and calculation of these indices were based on global DEMs (Digital Elevation Models). The result obtained shows an important link between the activity of the Kasserine fault, the geomorphological behavior of the Htab river watershed and the hydrographic network. Field observations confirmed well these… More >

Abstract Dans cet article, les auteurs expérimentent une démarche permettant de produire une cartographie cohérente de l’occupation des sols des surfaces des parcours en zones périméditerranéennes françaises représentées par les régions Occitanie et Provence-AlpesCôte d’Azur. Quatre différentes sources de données sont utilisées : l’occupation des sols millésime OSO (OSO), le Registre parcellaire graphique (RPG), la BD-Forêt V.2.0 et les données satellites Sentinel 2 L3A. Le RPG de 2019 et la BD-Forêt actualisée en 2018 ont été utilisés comme principale source de données de référence pour l’entraînement des modèles en vue de classifier les objets OSO 2019 de faible F-score, après extraction… More >

Abstract Les cartes tactiles photoréalistes sont un des outils mobilisés par les personnes en situation de déficience visuelle pour appréhender leur environnement urbain proche, notamment dans le cadre de la mobilité, pour la traversée de carrefours par exemple. Ces cartes sont aujourd’hui principalement fabriquées artisanalement. Dans cet article, nous proposons une approche permettant de produire une segmentation sémantique d’une imagerie aérienne de précision, étape centrale de cette fabrication. Les différents éléments d’intérêt tels que trottoirs, passages piétons, ou îlots centraux sont ainsi localisés et tracés dans l’espace urbain. Nous présentons en particulier comment l’augmentation de cette imagerie par des données vectorielles… More >

Abstract The impact of a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack on Software Defined Networks (SDN) is briefly analyzed. Many approaches to detecting DDoS attacks exist, varying on the feature being considered and the method used. Still, the methods have a deficiency in the performance of detecting DDoS attacks and mitigating them. To improve the performance of SDN, an efficient Real-time Multi-Constrained Adaptive Replication and Traffic Approximation Model (RMCARTAM) is sketched in this article. The RMCARTAM considers different parameters or constraints in running different controllers responsible for handling incoming packets. The model is designed with multiple controllers to handle network traffic… More >

Abstract Knowledge-based transfer learning techniques have shown good performance for brain tumor classification, especially with small datasets. However, to obtain an optimized model for targeted brain tumor classification, it is challenging to select a pre-trained deep learning (DL) model, optimal values of hyperparameters, and optimization algorithm (solver). This paper first presents a brief review of recent literature related to brain tumor classification. Secondly, a robust framework for implementing the transfer learning technique is proposed. In the proposed framework, a Cartesian product matrix is generated to determine the optimal values of the two important hyperparameters: batch size and learning rate. An extensive… More >

Abstract Linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) is a powerful control structure thanks to its performance in uncertainties, internal and external disturbances estimation and cancelation. An extended state observer (ESO) based controller is the key to the LADRC method. In this article, the LADRC scheme combined with a fractional-order integral action (FOI-LADRC) is proposed to improve the robustness of the standard LADRC. Using the robust closed-loop Bode’s ideal transfer function (BITF), an appropriate pole placement method is proposed to design the set-point tracking controller of the FOI-LADRC scheme. Numerical simulations and experimental results on a cart-pendulum system will illustrate the effectiveness… More >

Abstract Accumulated temperature, which is now widely used in agronomy, is an important ecological factor to the growth of plants, but few relative studies have been found on the vegetation area of floodplain grasslands in Poyang Lake. This research used the classification and regression tree (CART) to classify normalized vegetation area index derived from MODIS LAI (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer Leaf Area Index) images from 2008 to 2014, according to different climate indexes, such as mean daily air temperature (n), accumulated temperature (jw), daily maximum temperature (g), daily minimum temperature (d), accumulative precipitation (j), water level (s) and average water level… More >

Abstract This paper describes a system designed for linear servo cart systems that employs an integral-based Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ILADRC) scheme to detect and respond to disturbances. The upgrade in this control technique provides extensive immunity to uncertainties, attenuation, internal disturbances, and external sources of noise. The fundamental technology base of LADRC is Extended State Observer (ESO). LADRC, when combined with Integral action, becomes a hybrid control technique, namely ILADRC. Setpoint tracking is based on Bode’s Ideal Transfer Function (BITF) in this proposed ILADRC technique. This proves to be a very robust and appropriate pole placement scheme. The proposed… More >

Abstract There is no efficient tracking system available for the therapeutic molecules delivered to cartilage. The dense matrix covering the cartilage surface is the main biological barrier that the therapeutic molecules must overcome. In this study, we aimed to establish a system that can dynamically and effectively track the therapeutic molecules delivered to cartilage. To this aim, we adopted bovine and human cartilage explants as ex vivo models for chondrocyte-targeted exosome dispersion. The efficiency of drug delivery was evaluated using frozen sections. The results of this study showed that the penetration and distribution of chondrocyte-targeted exosomes in cartilage explants can be… More >
