    In the title compound, C10H6BrN3O2, the indazole fused-ring system is nearly planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.008 Å); its nitro substituent is nearly coplanar with the fused ring [dihedral angle = 4.5 (2)°]. In the crystal, adjacent mol­ecules are linked by weak acetyl­ene–nitro C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating a helical chain running along the b axis

    The indazole system in each of the two independent mol­ecules of the title compound, C10H8ClN3O2, is planar (r.m.s. deviations = 0.005 and 0.005 Å). The nitro group is coplanar with the fused-ring system [dihedral angles = 1.3 (3) and 4.8 (3) Å]

    A Novel Algorithm for Controlling Active and Reactive Power Flows of Electric Vehicles in Buildings and Its Impact on the Distribution Network

    In the literature, many optimization algorithms were developed to control electrical loads, especially Electric Vehicles (EVs) in buildings. Despite the success of the existing algorithms in improving the power profile of charging EVs and reducing the total electricity bill of the end-users, these algorithms didn&rsquo t show significant contribution in improving the voltage profile on the network, especially with the existence of highly inductive loads. The control of the active power may not be sufficient to regulate the voltage, even if sophisticated optimization algorithms and control strategies are used. To fill the gap in the literature, we propose a new algorithm that is able to control both the active and reactive power flows using electric vehicles in buildings and homes. The algorithm is composed of two parts the first part uses optimization to control the active power and minimize the electricity bill, while the second part controls the reactive power using the bidirectional converter in the EV in a way that the voltage profile on the distribution transformer respects its limits. The new approach is validated through a comparative study of four different scenarios, (i) without EV, (ii) with EV using uncoordinated charging, (iii) with EV using coordinated charging, (iv) with EV using our proposed algorithm. Results show that our algorithm has maintained the voltage within the recommended limits, and it has minimized the peak load, the electricity cost, and the techno-economic losses on the network.

    This paper presents a study, carried out in the framework of the H2020 european project GRAIL, on thermal and catalytic decomposition of a solid ADN/AN mixture. Decomposition pathways of the mixture are proposed thanks to thermal analyses coupled with mass spectrometry. Thirty-four burning rate modifiers have been investigated using thermal analyses. This led to the selection of five candidates considered as promising additives: nano-CuO, CuO, Cr2Cu2O5, ZnO and ferrocene. Finally, a bicatalytic system with nano-CuO and ferrocene was considered for possible improvement of the decomposition. It prove to display a much attractive behavior towards the decomposition of this oxidizer mixture

    <p>Abstract</p> <p>Introduction</p> <p>Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is extremely rare in childhood. We report a case of metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma in a 13-year-old boy, revealed by jaundice.</p> <p>Case presentation</p> <p>A 13-year-old Moroccan boy was admitted with obstructive jaundice to the children's Hospital of Rabat, Department of Pediatric Oncology. Laboratory study results showed a high level of total and conjugated bilirubin. Computerized tomography of the abdomen showed a dilatation of the intra-hepatic and extra-hepatic bile ducts with a tissular heterogeneous tumor of the head of the pancreas and five hepatic lesions. Biopsy of a liver lesion was performed, and a histopathological examination of the sample confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. Our patient underwent a palliative biliary derivation. After that, chemotherapy was administered (5-fluorouracil and epirubicin), however no significant response to treatment was noted and our patient died six months after diagnosis.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Malignant pancreatic tumors, especially ductal carcinomas, are exceedingly rare in the pediatric age group and their clinical features and treatment usually go unappreciated by most pediatric oncologists and surgeons.</p

    La varicelle est une maladie généralement bénigne chez l’enfant, cependant l’atteinte de l’adulte est potentiellement grave et son association à la grossesse expose la mère et le nouveau né à des risques de complications plus redoutables.La prise en charge multidisciplinaire associant obstétricien, biologiste et pédiatre est indispensable pour limiter les effets délétères de l’infection par la varicelle pendant la grossesse.Nous rapportons dans cet article les approches thérapeutiques actuellement proposées pour la prise en charge anté et péripartum du couple mère-enfant en cas d’infection par la varicelle pendant la grossesse et nous proposons des conduites visant à atténuer les complications maternelles
