Spain represents an important part of the tourism sector in the Western Mediterranean, which has been affected in the past by tsunamis. Although the tsunami risk at the Spanish coasts is not the highest of the Mediterranean, the necessity of tsunami risk mitigation measures should not be neglected. In the Mediterranean area, Spain is exposed to two different tectonic environments with contrasti...

The organization of alpha-globin genes in normal white European, normal Algerian, and alpha-thalassemic Algerian DNA was examined by restriction endonuclease mapping using HindIII, HpaI, Bamhi, EcoRI, BgIII, and PstI. The results for normal DNA confirm and add to the findings of Surrey et al. and Orkin; the two alpha-genes are approximately 3.0 kb apart. The restriction enzymes BgIII and HpaL c...

The Algerian Arabic dialects are under-resourced languages, which lack both corpora and Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools, although they are increasingly used in written form, especially on social media and forums. We aim through this paper, and for the first time, to build parallel corpora for Algerian dialects, because our ultimate purpose is to achieve a Machine Translation (MT) for Mo...

Breast cancer is the most common female malignancy and the leading cancer mortality cause among Algerian women. Germline mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in patients with early-onset breast cancer have not been clearly identified within the Algerian population. It is necessary to study the BRCA1/2 genes involvement in the Algerian breast cancer occurrence. We performed this study to defin...

Five specimens of Xiphias gladius Linnaeus, 1758 were sampled from the eastern coast Algeria and examined for their metazoan parasites. Pathological effects collected parasites whole body X. gladius. Four species collected: two monogeneans (Tristoma coccineum Cuvier, 1817; T. integrum Diesing, 1850), one copepod (Pennella instructa (Wilson, 1917)) parasitic nematode (Hysterothylacium aduncum (R...

This study focuses on code-switching (CS) in French/Algerian Arabic bilingual communities and investigates how speech technologies, such as automatic data partitioning, language identification and automatic speech recognition (ASR) can serve to analyze and classify this type of bilingual speech. A preliminary study carried out using a corpus of Maghrebian broadcast data revealed a relatively hi...
