Social action in times of crises in the MENA region: Sociocultural community development as a lever of social change

As a tribute to the thinking Circulation Support of Jean-Claude Gillet, this article aims to make accessible in the English language some of the notions of sociocultural community development and its function developed by this author in relation to their testing during a recent training course on the theme of Social action in times of crises: socio

Data Based Parameter Setting Method for Adaptive Cruise Control

Recent years, advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) has been highly developed and widely used.Among various ADAS techniques adaptive cruise control (ACC) is the fundamental of longitudinal control.The tradeoffs among safety, comfort and traffic efficiency are the main issue in ACC design process.In this study, large amount of road tests was carr

COLLABORATIVE MULTI-LEVEL PLAN MONITORING

The recent worldwide connectivity and the net-centricity of military operations (coalition-based operations) are witnessing an increasing need for the monitoring of plan execution for enhanced resource management and decision making.Monitoring of ongoing operations is the process of continuous observation recording and reporting.In this process the

Influence of carbon nanotubes on the buckling of microtubule bundles in viscoelastic cytoplasm using nonlocal strain gradient theory

Carbon nanotubes are a new class of microtubule-stabilizing agents since they interact with protein microtubules in living cells, interfering with cell division and Teaset inducing apoptosis.In the present work, a modified beam model is developed to investigate the effect of carbon nanotubes on the buckling of microtubule bundles in living cell.A r

Storage dynamics, hydrological connectivity and flux ages in a karst catchment: conceptual modelling using stable isotopes

We developed a new tracer-aided hydrological model that disaggregates cockpit karst terrain into the two dominant landscape units of hillslopes and depressions (with fast and slow flow systems).The new model was calibrated by using high temporal resolution hydrometric and isotope data in the outflow of Chenqi catchment in Guizhou Province of south-
