Developing a Mathematical Model to Predict the Optimum Friction Phase Parameters for Friction Welding of High Speed Steel to Medium Carbon Steel
This work was carried out in order to optimize the friction phase parameters, of friction welding of M2 high speed steel, to AISI 1040 medium carbon steel, namely; rotational speed, friction pressure and friction time. The experiments were designed as per Taguchi method. The optimization of the experimentally obtained results was carried out by trying three mathematical models, namely; a multiple linear regression model without interaction effect, a multiple linear regression model with interactions effect, and a second-order polynomial regression model. The three models were evaluated using the experimental data, the coefficient of multiple determination R2, and Standard error of the regression (S), were used as the evaluation criteria of the models. The polynomial model was chosen, and optimized using a Genetic Algorithm. The optimal value of the joint strength of 411 MPa was obtained at the highest value of the time ( 44.9 sec.) and the pressure of 112 MPs and the speed of 1349 r.p.m.

Enhancement of Biogas Production from 2.5m3 Puxin Digester
The world moved away from the concept that waste is something to be disposed of to recognizing it as a feedstock for energy. Therefore, the research was carried out by 2.5m3 pilot-scale Puxin digester from China to evaluate the anaerobic biodegradation of lignocellulose waste comprising cow dung, wheat straw and rice straw as feedstock is feasible at thermophilic condition (45 0C) for production biogas as a renewable energy. The addition of cow dung inoculum to fixed amount of feedstock was observed to improve biogas production. However, biogas yield was observed to decrease with use cow dung only. The ultimate biogas yield which can be determined from very long periods of anaerobic batch reaction was alternatively estimated through curve fitting. The maximum biogas yield for digester was estimated to be 233 L/Kg VS fed, while the ultimate biogas and methane yield attainable from these mixtures were estimated to be 340 L/Kg VS fed. This biogas can be burnt to produce heat and power. The results show that there are number of operating parameters affect the performance of the anaerobic digestion including the amount and type of inoculum, digestion duration, pH adjustments, temperature, C: N ratio and total solids (TS).

Effect of feeding raw and processed Meskit ( Prosopis juliflora) pods on serum biochemistry and histopathology of the liver and kidney of Omani sheep
An experiment was conducted to study the effects of incorporating raw or processed Meskit pods on histopatho logy of kidney and liver of sheep. Twenty-four Omani sheep were fed one of four diets: Rhodes grass hay (RGH) plus commercial concentrate (CC); RGH plus raw Meskit pods based diet (RMP); RGH plus roasted Meskit pods based diet (ROMP); RGH plus soaked Meskit pods based diet (SMP) for 84 days. Histological and serum biochemical analyses were used to assess sheep health. Animals were slaughtered and kidney and liver tissue samples were collected. The microscopic results showed that, incorporating raw, roasted or soaked pods to level of 50% of formulated rations resulted in no histological changes in kidney and liver tissues and most serum biochemical values were similar among the treatments. In general, feeding formulated rations based on raw or processed Meskit pods did not cause histological changes in kidneys or livers of Omani sheep even at high intake.

Endoscopic management of lithiasis localized in a superior caliceal renal diverticula: Case report and literature review
Caliceal diverticula stones are rare. Their management is conditioned by the appearance of clinical signs. The treatment gold standard was initially open surgery. With the advent of SWL, PCNL and flexible uretero-renoscopy, treatment has become less and less invasive. Among these techniques, the choice depends on the localization and the size of the diverticula and stones. We report here the case of a patient with a superior caliceal diverticula stones treated by flexibleuretero-renoscopy and laser.

Model-To-Model Transformation with approach by modeling: From UML to IoC Application model
The continuing evolution of business needs and technology makes applications more demanding in terms of development, maintenance, usability and management. To cope with this complexity, various frameworks and patterns are integrated for producing stable, maintainable and testable code. Given this diversity of solutions, the generation of a code based on UML models has become important. This paper presents, after establishing the different meta-models, the application of the MDA (Model Driven Architecture) to generate, from the UML model, the Code following the IoC (Inversion of Control) and Dao (Data Acces Object) patterns. The model-to-model transformations are also clearly and formally established by using the standard MOF 2.0 QVT (Meta-Object Facility 2.0 Query-View-Transformation) as transformation language. The transformation rules defined in this paper can generate, from the class diagram, an XML file containing the Business and the Data Access package. This file can be used to generate the necessary code of an architecture overview of IoC and DAO patterns.

Survival and complications of vascular access in elderly patients above 65 years: multicenter study
The placement of a patient undergoing chronical hemodialysis needs a double blood access[1]. This could be perment (arteriovenous fistula, vascular prothesis) or non permanent (short term catheter, long term catheter…)We have thus led a survey whose objective is to identify the survival factors and risk complicated ones especially for aged people.The multicenter study was conducted in December 2013 in six hemodialysis centers in the Oriental region. 102 patients have been under observation. The incidence of aged people in comparison with the whole hemodialysed people was 24%.The average age was 72+5.5 years. The sex ratio male/female was 1.04. 83% had a maintained physical autonomy. Only 14.7% of our patients had health insurance: a weak rate in comparison with the national average. High blood pressure and diabetes were the underlying etiologies behind dialysis.31% of nephropathies were of unknown origin. Toxic habits, tuberculosis, embolic stroke constituted the most antecedents in our patients. Renal failure was found uncontrolled in 55.9% of our observed patients and consequently urgent intervention was recommended for 54.9%.Half of our patients benefited from 2 dialysis sessions per week.The other half underwent three sessions a week. Renal failure was associated to a positive hepatitis C serology in 6.9% of our patients and only 1% had hepatitis B serology.85% of our patients had anemia among whom 56.9% were under erythropoietine EPO. 33% of our patients suffred from heart disease. The average number of vascular approaches was 1.5 and 59.9% were held the team of vascular surgery in Oujda. The catheters were the most used as a first vascular access (55.9%) , then came arteriovenous fistula for 44.1% of our patients.33.9% of the patients benefited from a second vascular approach that was for 85% of arteriovenous fistula, whereas, the remaining 15% used catheters. Only 17 patients benefited from a third vascular approach, thas is say 16%, most of whom were arteriovenous fistula. That is say. A fourth vascular approach was held for 4 patients having exclusively arteriovenous fistula.31.4 % of patients reported complications: Dysfunction was the most frequent immediate complication (5.9%), followed by thrombosis (3.9%), then comes hemorrhage (2.9%). Aneurysm was the most frequent tardive complication (13.7%) followed by dysfunction found in 5.9%. Thrombosis was found only in 2.9% of patients. Finaly, only one patient had infection of the vascular approach. On the basis of this one targetted research, we have come to notice that : Age, dialysis term, number of sessions per week, viral status B/C are predictive factors of complications for aged people.The optimal dialysis treatment at this age, not only involves nephrologists but also recommends a convenient surgical access.

Effects of heat generation and visscous dissipation on MHD boundary layer flow of a moving vertical plate with suction
This investigation is undertaken to study the numerical solution of a two-dimensional, steady, incompressible electrically conducting, laminar free convection boundary layer flow of a continuously moving vertical porous plate in the presence of transverse magnetic field, heat generation and viscous dissipation. The basic equations governing the flow are in the form of partial differential equations and have been reduced to a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations by applying suitable similarity transformations. The problem is solved numerically using shooting techniques with the fourth order Runge-Kutta method. Comparisons with previously published work are performed and are found to be in an excellent agreement. The physical behavior of different parameters for velocity, temperature and concentration has been examined graphically and analyzed quantitatively.

Effects of Intra-Row Spacing on Growth and Yield of Two Grain Sorghum Cultivars (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) in Gash Delta, Eastern Sudan
The experiment was conducted to study the effect of varying plant population of two sorghum cultivars on growth and yield at research area Gash Delta Eastern Sudan, during 2014/15 and 2016/17) seasons. The RCBD design used for split-split plot trail. The treatments include two cultivars (Tabat andAklamoi) and three planting densities (spacing within the row of 30, 45 and 60 cm between holes and the number of seeds per hole factor with 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 10 seeds per hole).The obtained results revealed that, the two tested sorghum cultivars particularly in the second seasons showed highly significant differences in stem girth, leave area index, panicle/m2, seeds /panicle, 100-seed weight and grain yield/ha. Aklamoi was better than Tabat in panicle/m2, 100-seed weight while, Tabat exceeded Aklamoi in stem girth, leaf area and grain yield particularly at plant population 208333 plant/ha which was achieved from 30cm inter-row spacing with five plants/hole in the first Season. The obtained grand mean of grain yield of Sorghum and the observations across the two experimental seasons indicate the high adaptability, the highest growth and the highest grain yield of Sorghum under the conditions of the Gash Delta. Early maturity of sorghum cultivars is more important to cultivate under shortage flooding seasons.
