2Nd N€Uromed Meeting 10-12 June, 2010 Faculty of Science, Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University Fez - Morocco 2nd N€uromed Meeting 10-12 June, 2010 Faculty of Science, Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University Fez - Morocco N€uromed is a project funded by the European FP7. It is a capacities’ programme within the International Cooperation scheme, whose objective is to build capacities for Mediterranean Neuroscience Research, through twinning between EU research centers (in France, Italy and Spain) and emerging labs in the Mediterranean Partner Countries (Algeria, Egypt, Morocco and Turkey). Six months after the start of the project, most activities are now under way: exchanges have started, local events have taken place, lectures are planned, and recruitment is well advanced. However, most members do not know each other yet, and many of them do not really understand what N€uromed is about. Thus, beyond the scientific aspects of this meeting, which of course are central to the project, it must allow us to exchange views, understand the objectives, learn more about the other members’ work. This is way the meeting includes: - A high quality scientific workshop: the aim is to identify scientific strengths of the project on which we will build the future. Abstracts are published (http://.....), and a summary of each session will be available. - A Board meeting: which is the general assembly of the consortium where the methodology and work programme of N€uromed will be discussed. - A Strategic Management Committee (SMC) meeting, where representatives of the 7 countries meet to discuss operational aspects. Welcome to this important event, N€uromed counts on you to do everything possible to make it successful! Thank you. D.

Algerians, State Terror, and Memory, a number of books, by Jean-Luc Einaudi, Jean-Paul Brunet, Alain Dewerpe, Linda Amiri, Rémy Valat, and others, meant that the main features of the Paris massacre and the demonstration of 17 October were quite well understood.1 Political controversy has continued to rage, mainly in relation to the contested issue of the numbers of Algerians that were killed, but in general the bulk of the publications that have appeared since Paris 1961 have had to do with the cultural, artistic and memorial aspects of the events, rather than with further research into primary archival sources.2 This shift from the further excavation of archives, to differing interpretations of cultural and political meanings, was exemplified by the debates surrounding Michael Haneke’s film Caché,3 and the commemoration of the 50th anniversary in October 2011.

  • Accords D'evian – 19 Mars 1962'
    INFO 391 « NON au 19 mars » NUMERO SPECIAL ‘’ACCORDS D’EVIAN – 19 MARS 1962’’ VOICI quelques articles de presse ou de contributeurs retenus à votre attention : 1/ La ville ROCHER NOIR devenue BOUMERDES à l’indépendance : Située à 45 km à l'est d'ALGER, à 25 km au nord de BOUIRA et à 52 km à l'ouest de TIZI OUZOU. Géographie ROCHER NOIR était une petite localité côtière à vocation agricole. Elle constituait un carrefour de passage de la capitale dont elle est distante de 45 Km vers l'Est du Pays et de Tizi Ouzou par des voies de communication diverses. Son chef lieu est distant de 35 Km de l'aéroport d'Alger (Maison Blanche). Elle dépendait initialement de la commune de MENERVILLE., Histoire : La commune de Rocher Noir est créée en regroupant celles de Belle fontaine et Corso. Une virée sur les hauteurs de la commune Belle Fontaine, plus exactement à fontaine du figuier à environ 10 km s’impose. D’abord, de cette hauteur, le spectacle est magnifique. Au loin, au-delà du monticule d’Ighzer Ibaoune, vers le nord, la Méditerranée renvoie son bleu resplendissant. A l’ouest, c’est le vert de la plaine de CORSO et L’ALMA qui domine. « La blancheur d’Alger s’offre alors à votre vue ». Aux alentours, des hameaux et des maisons individuelles sont posés telles des perles sur les montagnes verdoyantes. La fin des hostilités entre le FLN et la France fut la conséquence des accords d’Evian signés le 18 mars 1962 par les représentants du gouvernement français.

Direct observations, supported by ornithological surveys carried out by Progressive Frequential Sampling (PFS), a version of a point count method, have allowed us to identify 125 bird species. These represent 31% of all species known from Algeria. The species recorded belong to 14 orders, 39 families and 37 genera. According to their biogeographic origins, 36 are Mediterranean, 32 Palearctic, 24 Holarctic, 17 European and 16 of European-Turkestani origin. The Mitidja Plain holds 60 resident-breeder species (48% of all registered species) and is a transit zone for many migratory species (summer and winter migrants constituting 20% and 14% of the total, respectively) and occasional visitors (RA = 12%).

    NOT FOR PUBLICATION INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS RKM-2 31, rue Maurice Ripoche Ben Youssef ben Khedda Paris XIV, France February 22, 1962 Mr. Richard Nolte Institute of Current World Affairs 366 Madison Ave. New York 17, N.Y. Dear Mr. Nolte: One night in July, 1957, when General Ma.ssu's paratroops were in the last stages of crushing rebel terrorism in Algiers, a man of less than average height, bearded and in dark lasses a Spaniard or a Maltese one would have said was alerted by his uard. Without a second's hesitation and still in his pajamas, he fled out across terrasses and over rooftops and disappeared. Such was the last departure from Algiers of en Youssef ben Khedda, at the time an important terrorist commander nd presently the head of the Gouvernement provisoire de la Republique al gerienne (GPRA) While predictin the ultimate successful outcome of nesotiations between the de Geulle government and the GPRA is as hazardous as forecasting a sunny day in this leaden grey Paris of February, it seems more likely than ever that ben Khedda will soon be back in the city of his revolution- ary baptism. His return will be less hasty than his departure, and this time he will not have to hide behind false names and disguises. His life will still be in dan6er from political enemies, but this time he will enjoy the protection of the French security forces, at least for a while. Installed in the modern structure that now houses the Delegate-General instead of improvised hide-outs that had to be chaned every few days, ben Khedda!s mind will turn to economic plans, administrative problems and foreign policy instead of the placing of bombs in caf@s and the crestion of new terrorist networks.

Los modelos climáticos regionales permiten evaluar el impacto del cambio climático a escala regional y local. Este estudio tiene como objetivo en primer lugar el analizar la variabilidad de las precipitaciones en el norte de Argelia; y, en segundo lugar, evaluar la futura variabilidad estacional de la precipitación utilizando modelos climáticos regionales del proyecto ENSEMBLE. Se utilizaron pruebas estadísticas y el método de sesgo. El análisis de variabilidad estacional utilizando pruebas estadísticas durante el periodo de referencia (1961-1990) reveló una disminución significativa de las precipitaciones a partir de la década de 1970 en las estaciones de Tenes y Oran, ubicadas en la parte noroeste de Argelia. Esta reducción se produjo durante los meses de invierno (diciembre y enero) y primavera (marzo y abril), asociada principalmente a la disminución de la frecuencia de días con precipi- taciones en el rango de 10-20 y 20-50 mm, mientras que en la región oriental se registró un aumento de las precipitaciones.
