À partir de la période ptolémaïque, les corniches égyptiennes sont systématiquement ornées d’un disque ailé. La très forte ressemblance de ce décor d’une corniche à l’autre conduit à se demander si le dessin ne suivait pas une série de règles bien établies. Pour mener cette étude, une vingtaine de corniches contemporaines ont été relevées et compar...

Urban environments have been characterized by their temporal stability of resources, which could promote stability in bird composition. Several studies have found that bird communities in urban environments persist over the years, showing a similar species composition in the short term. However, studies analyzing continuous changes in urban communi...
Fascinated by the legendary creature known as “monkey”, notorious for descending from the high mountains in the aims to disrupt our livelihoods, I found myself drawn into a quest to know more about these elusive beings. One day, I encountered an individual who perfectly embodied the traits of the “monkey” I have studied about. Convinced of its iden...
Coplas is a composition for alto saxophone, accordion and vibraphone, based on the poems by Garcilaso de la Vega, a Spanish poet who wrote these poems, "Coplas" to the death of his father. So I did the same with music, to the death of my father.This music score was submitted for Resonate 2024: An Open Access Call for Scores by the UCLA Music Librar...
I do not like concepts such as "common sense" and "precedent." Instead, I would like to invest ample time in individually examining each phenomenon and object, prodding and rolling them, heating them in fire and submerging them in water, dismantling and reassembling them, and seeking answers with my own eyes and ears. At times, it becomes imperativ...

The physic-chemical properties of fluids that saturate a bed have been followed throughout the course of resource exploitation through different analyses. Fluids released from the formation over time of exploitation change due to the change in the phase state of the fluids, their material balance and energy. Determining the type of reservoir fluid ...

The differences in gut microbiota among different populations, to a certain extent, reflect the degree of interaction between individuals within populations. To assess the interaction levels among several small populations of Przewalski’s gazelle (Procapra przewalskii) (n = 105, from seven different regions) based on differences in gut microbiota, ...

Late blight, caused by the pathogen Phytophthora infestans, is a devastating disease affecting potato production globally, with adverse effects in Africa where limited access to fungicides exacerbates its impact. Outbreaks of late blight lead to reduced yields and substantial economic losses to potato farmers and agricultural systems. The developme...
peer reviewed / In this study, the effect of growing conditions in different harvest years on the physicochemical properties of various Ivorian mango kernel fat (MKF) varieties was investigated. The fats extracted from mango kernels were analysed with respect to their fatty acid composition (FAC) and triacylglycerol (TAG) composition, melting profi...
In February 2021, the Perseverance rover landed in Jezero crater. The crater floor was found to be composed of lava flows and cumulate rocks that have undergone some limited aqueous alteration; however, it is not clear whether this alteration is related to the lacustrine phase of the crater [1-7]. After completing its exploration of these igneous u...
