Abstract La théorie égocentrée est aujourd’hui bien connue des éthologues et des psychologues mais moins diffusée chez les géographes car elle reste encore à l’état de théorie abstraite. Ce papier se propose dans un premier temps de rendre opérationnel cette approche dans le cadre de travaux géographiques à l’échelle de l’individu. Puis, elle envisage d’établir le lien entre l’échelle individu et l’échelle de la ville avec comme objectif de produire des cartes déformées de la ville. More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract L’objectif de cet article est de poser un diagnostic d’équité environnementale quant à l’accessibilité aux parcs à Ho Chi Minh Ville (HCMV) pour quatre groupes de population (les enfants, les personnes âgées, les personnes faiblement et hautement scolarisées). Pour ce faire, deux mesures d’accessibilité calculées à partir de la distance réticulaire sont mises en œuvre dans les SIG : la distance au parc le plus proche (proximité immédiate) et la méthode du enhanced twostep floating catchment area (disponibilité en fonction de l’offre et de la demande). Puis, plusieurs modèles de régression sont construits avec, comme variables dépendantes, les mesures d’accessibilité… More >

Abstract La ville de Métlaoui constitue le noyau urbain central du bassin minier de Gafsa (BMG) au sud-ouest de la Tunisie. À l’instar des autres villes du bassin, Métlaoui est traditionnellement caractérisée par la mono-activité industrielle d’enrichissement de phosphate ; elle observe par ailleurs une dichotomie spatiale entre « le village européen relativement favorisé qui constitue le cœur de la ville et les cités périphériques ouvrières très déshéritées. Cette dichotomie ne semble pas faiblir aujourd’hui ; bien au contraire, la recherche montre aujourd’hui les prémices d’une accentuation des ségrégations socio-spatiales héritées de la période coloniale et postcoloniale, les vicissitudes environnementales accumulées… More >

Abstract The current paper is concerned with a modified Homotopy perturbation technique. This modification allows achieving an exact solution of an initial value problem of the fractional differential equation. The approach is powerful, effective, and promising in analyzing some classes of fractional differential equations for heat conduction problems and other dynamical systems. To crystallize the new approach, some illustrated examples are introduced. More >

Abstract A general biochemical description of an aqueous extract obtained from Ibervillea sonorae root was reported; furthermore, a histological description for the root is included. A bromatological analysis was carried out, and it indicated that the study nutritional variables were similar to those reported in other edible tuberous roots including sweet potatoe, mandioca, bean yam and arracacha. For the first time, the presence of an active proteinase at alkaline pH and the inhibitory activity of trypsin were reported for this root. Several medical and bioactive properties have been attributed to the wereke root. Nevertheless, deeper studies are needed to determinate the… More >

Abstract Public demand for healthier foods and more sustainable food systems in the U.S. has triggered market prices and production of organic alternatives of major crops such as corn (Zea mays L.). Two cover crops and their interactions with tillage systems, N sources and N rates were studied to evaluate the possibility of using these agronomic practices to facilitate growing corn under organic management in Kentucky. A split-split plot design in a RCBD with four replications was evaluated in three environments (SP08, UKR08, UKR09). The main plot treatments were cover crops [hairy vetch, HV (Vicia villosa Roth) and rye (Secale cereale… More >

Abstract In the current paper the two-dimensional time fractional Klein-Kramers equation which describes the subdiffusion in the presence of an external force field in phase space has been considered. The numerical solution of fractional Klein-Kramers equation is investigated. The proposed method is based on using finite difference scheme in time variable for obtaining a semi-discrete scheme. Also, to achieve a full discretization scheme, the Kansa's approach and meshless local Petrov-Galerkin technique are used to approximate the spatial derivatives. The meshless method has already proved successful in solving classic and fractional differential equations as well as for several other engineering and physical… More >

Abstract This paper presents an evaluation of time-frequency methods for the analysis of seismic signals. Background of the present work is to describe, how the frequency content of the signal is changing in time. The theoretical basis of short time Fourier transform, Gabor transform, wavelet transform, S-transform, Wigner distribution, Wigner-Ville distribution, Pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution, Smoothed Pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution, Choi-William distribution, Born-Jordan Distribution and cone shape distribution are presented. The strengths and weaknesses of each technique are verified by applying them to a particular synthetic seismic signal and recorded real time earthquake data. More >

Abstract This paper presents a closed form solution to Liouville's equation governing the evolution of the probability density function associated with the motion of a body in a central force field and subject to J2. It is shown that the application of transformation of variables formula for mapping uncertainties is equivalent to the method of characteristics for computing the time evolution of the probability density function that forms the solution of the Liouville's partial differential equation. The insights derived from the nature of the solution to Liouville's equation are used to reduce the dimensionality of uncertainties in orbital element space. It… More >

Abstract In the present article, a relatively very new technique viz. Coupled Fractional Reduced Differential Transform, has been executed to attain the approximate numerical solution of the predator-prey dynamical system. The fractional derivatives are defined in the Caputo sense. Utilizing the present method we can solve many linear and nonlinear coupled fractional differential equations. The results thus obtained are compared with those of other available methods. Numerical solutions are presented graphically to show the simplicity and authenticity of the method. More >
