Hydrographic network extraction and watersheds delimitation software of the South Oran (North Wester Algeria)

The development of space technology has allowed a better understanding and effective use of water resources through the use of Digital Terrain Models (DTM) Mapping the river system from DTM has two objectives, namely identifying first topography  descriptors like hills, ridges and valleys of watersheds and second hydrological parameters to map areas of runoff recovery for a more efficient development and also a better representation of the actual land occupation. Our work is part of a methodological approach to satellite imagery processing and mapping of topographic and hydrographic parameters of watersheds. Thus, from DTM one was able to extract the full river system of the region. The results show a remarkable evolution of human activities and  especially in areas of high water recovery capacity.Keywords: remote sensing, DTM, network hydrology, geographic, steppe, west of  Algeria

ON SOME RESULTS OF NUMBER THEORETIC TRANSFORM (NTT) -PERIODIC SIGNAL

The interest givento the application of Number Theoretic Transforms (NTT’s)to digital signal processing has not ceasegrow. These transformations are used to improve convolutions, where arithmetic operations give a modulo an integerresIn order to understand the domain of the NTT, we have to show their powerful properties and exploit them in diffeapplications such as in signal processing

Neural network-based MRAC control of dynamic nonlinear systems

This paper presents direct model reference adaptive control for a class of nonlinear systems with unknown nonlinearities. The model following conditions are assured by using adaptive neural networks as the nonlinear state feedback controller. Both full state information and observer-based schemes are investigated. All the signals in the closed loop are guaranteed to be bounded and the system state is proven to converge to a small neighborhood of the reference model state. It is also shown that stability conditions can be formulated as linear matrix inequalities (LMI) that can be solved using efficient software algorithms. The control performance of the closed-loop system is guaranteed by suitably choosing the design parameters. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the approach

A New Approach for Handling Element Accessibility Problems Faced by Persons with a Wheelchair

The built environment accessibility evaluation is required if the person physical capacities no longer correspond to the habitat requirements, which generally occur after an accident. For the person with disabilities, the inner accessibility of habitat is a highly important factor that allows him to live and work independently. This paper presents a new approach to determine the accessibility of handling elements like doors, windows, etc. inside the habitat for the wheelchair user. Thus, allowing housing professionals to assess the needed changes in terms of accessibility. The idea is to involve a new computer approach to evaluating the performance of these elements against wheelchair user capacity. The presented approach simulated wheelchair user behavior when he/ she is operating a handling element in order to determine the dimensions/positions of wheelchair clearance space and handle grip optimal heights while considering wheelchair arrival direction and respecting joint limits constraints of person upper body and wheelchair nonholonomy constraints
