Wadi El Raiyan is a great depression located southwest of Cairo in the Western Desert of Egypt. Lake Qarun, located north of the study area, is a closed basin with a high evaporation rate. The source of water in the lake is agricultural and municipal drainage from the El Faiyum province. In 1973, Wadi El Raiyan was connected with the agricultural wastewater drainage system of the Faiyum provinc...

Multifocal childhood TB remains underestimated. It can occur at any age. Usually on a plot of immunosuppression especially HIV infection, but it can also occur in immunocompetent children. This is a retrospective and prospective study over a period of 11 years between January 2004 and July 2015. During that period, 1 122 children are hospitalized Pneumo-pediatric department at the Moulay Yousse...

The identification and the assessment of population classes who risk being cybercrime victims is a major problem especially when these classes are latent and unobservable. For this reason, we suggest a solution based on the probabilistic approach which derives from the Bayes theory. We adapt the latent class analysis to identify unobservable classes of victims and we propose a measure of risk o...

L’atteinte artérielle est une complication rare au cours de la maladie de Behçet. Elle représente un des modes d’expression de cette pathologie. Nous rapportons une observation d’un jeune homme de 25 ans qui était hospitalisé pour une douleur abdominale intense. L’angioscanner abdominaux a permis de poser le diagnostic d’un anévrisme d’une branche de l’artère mésentérique supérieure. Le patient...

Khudra is a lightweight block cipher designed for Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based platforms. The cipher has an 18-round generalized type-2 Feistel structure with 64-bit block size. The key schedule takes 80-bit master key and produces 32-bit round keys performing very simple operations. In this work, we analyze the security of Khudra. We first show that the effective round key length...

Les auteurs rapportent un cas de localisation rare d'une tumeur à cellules géantes au niveau de la palette humérale du coude droit chez un militaire de 36 ans de sexe masculin, la radio standard montrait une image kystique ne soufflant pas la corticale. L'examen anatomo-pathologique a permis d' établir le diagnostic et le traitement a fait appel: au début a une Exérèse chirurgicale totale et un...

The case published by Youssef et al is highly interesting in my opinion, but not for what the presentation focuses on but rather for what it omits.1 The preoperative lumbar sagittal alignment (Fig. 2) is rather nice with 50 degrees from T12 to S1, despite the severe degenerative changes that led to the indication for surgery. The postoperative film (Fig. 5) shows a severe loss of lumbar lordosi...
