Kalai S M*, Amara Y, Ameur Ameur A, Gaouar SBS Laboratory Pathophysiology and Biochemistry of Nutrition (PpBioNut), Department of Biology, SNV-STU Faculty, University of Tlemcen. *Corresponding Author: Kalai SM, University of Tlemcen ine, Algeria; Email: [email protected] Article history: Received: 28 November 2016, Revised: 5 December 2016, Accepted: 22 January 2017 Abstract The aim of this study is to carry out a field survey for a better knowledge of the current state of our sheep population in Algeria; especially Tlemcen region in relation to scrapie and and the factors favoring their appearance (Nedroma, Ghazaouet, Honain, Bab El Assa, Maghnia, El Gor, Sebdou, Sid Jilali and Laaricha) This survey is carried out according to phenotypic observations of the individuals to detect possible presence of Symptoms of scrapie. Down results obtained show that there are no signs of prion disease in the surveyed herds. Keywords: Epidemiology; Scrapie; sheep; Algeria . Introduction Scrapie is an insidious, degenerative disease affecting the central nervous system (CNS) of sheep and goats. The disease is also called la tremblante (French:trembling), Traberkrankheit (German: trotting disease), or rida (Icelandic: ataxia or tremor); it is also known by numerous other names. The disease was first recognised as affecting sheep in Great Britain and other countries of Western Europe over 250 years ago. The first reports of the existence of scrapie appear in eighteenth and nineteenth century literature from England and Germany. -

Landmines, Detection, Explosives, Thermography, Temperature
Frontiers in Science 2013, 3(1): 27-42 DOI: 10.5923/j.fs.20130301.05 Literature Review on Landmines and Detection Methods Rasaq Bello Department of Physics Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria Abstract Detection of buried antipersonnel landmines (APL) is a demanding task in which one tries to obtain information about characteristics of the soil and of objects buried in it. Various methods that are used to detect buried landmines have been examined. None of these methods meets the standards that have been set by authorities such as the United Nations or the United States Army. Therefore there is an urgent need for new and improved methods to be developed, particularly in view of the threat that abandoned landmines pose to civilian populations. Various researches reviewed in this work showed thermography to be a good method to detect shallowly buried objects. Detection systems capable of quickly and accurately detecting buried landmines are the only possibility to significantly improve the demining process. Due to low signal-to-noise ratio, changing environment conditions that influence measurements and existence of other natural or man-made objects that give sensor readings similar to the landmine, interpretation of sensor data for landmine detection is a complicated task. Keywords Landmines, Detection, Explosives, Thermography, Temperature and as area-denial weapons. The latter use seeks to deny 1.

Oujda-Maghnia, Au-Delà Des Frontières Politiques La Contrebande, Un Secteur Économique Transnational
Oujda-Maghnia, au-delà des frontières politiques La contrebande, un secteur économique transnational La réalité de la frontière algéro-marocaine Nabila Moussaoui Le présent article rend compte d’une enquête menée dans deux villes Université d'Oran, frontalières: Oujda, dans le Maroc oriental, et Maghnia, dans l’ouest algérien, Algérie deux villes distantes l’une de l’autre d’une dizaine de kilomètres seulement. ([email protected]) Dans ces deux villes et leur périphérie (comme le village de Zouia en Algérie), des marchés spontanés organisent la vente de marchandises venues d’ailleurs et ce, au vu et au su des autorités, faisant de ces deux régions des plaques tournantes de la contrebande entre les deux pays voisins. Plus globalement, on s’interroge ici sur le processus par lequel le trabendo (1) , longtemps (1) C’est le nom algérien épiphénomène apparemment marginal, est devenu la pierre angulaire de de la contrebande ; on reviendra plus loin sur l’économie de la région. Désormais en Algérie, tant la réalité que le mot l’éthymologie du terme. qui la désigne ont droit de cité, même dans les discours les plus officiels. A la suite des journalistes, les agents de l’Etat parlent du phénomène en usant du même vocabulaire que le commun des citoyens, contribuant ainsi à son institutionnalisation. Des études consacrées aux formes d’organisation de l’économie du trabendo ont mis l’accent sur les processus socio-historiques qui, dans la plupart des cas, en sont à l’origine ( 2).

Equipment for Post-Conflict Demining a Study Or Requirements in Mozambique
Working Paper 48 Equipment for Post-Conflict Demining A Study or Requirements in Mozambique by A.V. Smith January 1996 Summary The aims of this study were: 1. to find out what equipment mine-clearance groups use and its sources, and to inquire what alternative/further equipment they want; 2. to assess manufacturing capability relevant to the possible production of mine clearance equipment at rural and urban levels. Mine clearance A number of mined areas were visited and mine clearance observed. At some sites, mines were placed defensively around possible targets. At others, mines were laid to destabilise the infrastructure by denying access to an area. Nine groups involved in mine clearance in Mozambique were interviewed, one in their Zimbabwe offices, one in the UK and the others in country: UNADP Cap Anamur Demining (CAD) Norwegian People's Aid (NPA) USAID The HALO Trust MECHEM (British Aerospace) Minetech Special Clearance Services Handicap International All the above were asked about their working methods and the equipment they use. Mine clearance groups usually distinguish between the detectors, which are the single most expensive item of equipment used, and all other equipment which they call "ancillary,'. Of the detectors used the Schiebel and Ebinger models were the most common. No detectors were entirely satisfactory and the best were considered overpriced. We found a wide range of ancillary equipment in use, some of which was locally made. Each group was asked if there were any items of equipment they did not have but would like, and what variations on existing equipment they would find most useful. -

Yet , in all the literature produced on this subject to date , and discussions of the problem in various international forums , mention is rarely made of Burma. This is despite the fact that anti -personnel (AP ) landmines have been, and are still being,manufactured and laid in large numbers in that country , with serious consequences for both combatants and non - combatants alike . -

Ameur Ameur A. Gaouar SBS Laboratory of Physiopathology and Biochemical of Nutrition (PpBioNut), Department of Biology, University of Tlemcen, Algeria *Corresponding Author: Dr. Abdelkader Ameur Ameur, University of Tlemcen. Email: [email protected] Article history; Received: 12 February 2020; Revised: 25 March 2020; Accepted: 19 May 2020 Abstract Goat milk, whose production is starting to develop in Algeria in recent years, has a number of advantages that even allow it to substitute cow's milk. It is a source of health benefits for humans; it contains more vitamins with a significant cheese yield than cow's milk. Our present study aims to study physicochemical, microbiological and for the first time trials of a fresh cheese (Feta) made from locally selected goat's milk in the region of Tlemcen and its 10 regions namely: Ouled Mimoun, Terny, Sebdou, Ain El houte, Remchi, Bensakrane, Maghnia, Sabra, Nedroma and Zenata. 27 goats from the local population were used for this study. The physicochemical quality (fat, density, conductivity, defatted dry extract, temperature, protein, mineral salts and lactose) of the milk sampled was measured using a LACTOSCAN Milk-Analyzer. Four flora (total germ, fecal coliform, Staphylococcus aureus and salmonella) were chosen to test the microbiological quality of the milk. The results obtained show that the good physicochemical quality of milk studied in all regions except the two regions of Nedroma and Maghnia showing a high fat content.
