Uniform regularity for the Navier-Stokes equation with Navier boundary condition
We prove that there exists an interval of time which is uniform in the
vanishing viscosity limit and for which the Navier-Stokes equation with Navier
boundary condition has a strong solution. This solution is uniformly bounded in
a conormal Sobolev space and has only one normal derivative bounded in
. This allows to get the vanishing viscosity limit to the
incompressible Euler system from a strong compactness argument
Systemic sclerosis in a patient with pityriasis rubra pilaris
Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is a rare, chronic erythematous squamous disorder of unknown etiology. It has been found in association with several autoimmune diseases, including thyroiditis, myositis, myasthenia gravis and vitiligo. Herein we report a case of systemic sclerosis in a patient with classic adult pityriasis rubra pilaris. A 38 year old woman with classic adult type 1 pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) developed progressive skin
thickening of the trunk, face, upper and lower extremities after 2 years of PRP treatment with topical emollients and steroids. Clinical examination and immunological findings were consistent with SSc. Co-existence of these two rare conditions is documented for the first time

Lupus érythémateux systémique à début pédiatrique: à propos d’un cas
Le lupus érythémateux systémique (LES) est une maladie systémique auto-immune d'étiologie inconnue qui touche essentiellement les femmes àl'âge adulte. Le lupus pédiatrique est une entité rare. Nous rapportons une nouvelle observation. Il s'agissait d'un nourrisson âgé de 7 mois quiprésentait des lésions cutanées purpuriques, une polyarthrite fébrile. Le bilan immunologique était positif (AAN et anti-ADN). Une améliorationclinique et biologique a été notée sous corticothérapie générale avec une récidive lors de la dégression du traitement
Elastofibrome dorsal: étude rétrospective de 21 cas et revue de littérature
L'élastofibrome est une tumeur bénigne du tissu mou survient essentiellement chez les personnes âgées de plus de 55 ans avec une prédominance féminine. Il survient électivement à l'angle caudal de la scapula (99%). Il est bilatéral dans 10% à 66% des cas. L'etiopathogenie de l'EF reste encore non élucidée. Il s'agissait d'une étude rétrospective au niveau du laboratoire d'anatomie pathologique d'Ibn sina de Rabat durant une période de cinq ans (2007- 2011), concernant 21 cas d'EF. Toutes ces lésions ont été diagnostiquées après coloration standard à l'HE et à partir des dossiers médicaux des patients, nous avons recueilli leurs données cliniques, radiologiques, leur prise en charge thérapeutique et leur suivi. Quizze des patients étaient de sexe féminin, 6 cas étaient de sexe masculin. Au moment du traitement l'âge moyen était de 57,6 ans. Chez 10 patients, la localisation de la tumeur était du côté droit, 6 cas du côté gauche et bilatérale chez 5 patients. La plupart des patients étaientasymptomatiques. La taille des tumeurs variait entre 5 et 14 cm de grand axe. En IRM, leur aspect était caractéristique et l'étude anatomopathologique avait confirmé le diagnostic chez tous les patients. L'elastofibrome est le diagnostic le plus probable quand il s'agit d'une localisation infra-scapulaire d'une masse du tissu mou. L'IRM est l'examen clé du diagnostic. Une éventuelle biopsie permettra d'exclure un processus tumoral malin et rassurer les patients asymptomatiques qu'aucun traitement chirurgical n'est nécessaire
Investigation of genetic variability related to the in vitro floral hermaphrodism induction in Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.)
This paper reports on a molecular analysis study conducted on Date palm flowers from the Deglet Nour cultivar to investigate putative genetic variability related to the in vitro floral hermaphrodism induction. Natural male and female as well as hermaphrodite ones that were produced in vitro through the hormonal treatment of female flowers were submitted to ISSR-PCR analysis. Microsatellite based amplification (ISSR) was applied on genomic DNA from inflorescences taken at different periods of hormonal treatment corresponding to the various deviation stages to search for putative variations that may have occurred on the initial genome due to the application of plant growth regulators. Several amplification bands were purified, cloned, and sequenced. The results revealed that hormonal treatment entailed no detectable genetic variation in the treated Date palm flowers. Two of the selected and ISSR-PCR amplified DNA fragments showed however, possible links with flowering regulation. The findings indicate that these sequences are potential candidate gene markers that may enhance our understanding of flower development and sex identification in this species.Key words: Date palm, female inflorescences, hermaphrodite flowers, in vitro culture, ISSR, sex identification
Note on Global Regularity for 2D Oldroyd-B Fluids with Diffusive Stress
We prove global regularity of solutions of Oldroyd-B equations in 2 spatial
dimensions with spatial diffusion of the polymeric stresses
Global well-posedness for a Smoluchowski equation coupled with Navier-Stokes equations in 2D
We prove global existence for a nonlinear Smoluchowski equation (a nonlinear
Fokker-Planck equation) coupled with Navier-Stokes equations in two dimensions.
The proof uses a deteriorating regularity estimate and the tensorial structure
of the main nonlinear terms
Tests of concrete flanged beams reinforced with CFRP bars.
yesTests results of three flanged and two rectangular cross-section concrete beams reinforced with carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) bars are reported. In addition, a companion concrete flanged beam reinforced with steel bars is tested for comparison purposes. The amount of CFRP reinforcement used and flange thickness were the main parameters investigated in the test specimens. One CFRP reinforced concrete rectangular beam exhibited concrete crushing failure mode, whereas the other four CFRP reinforced concrete beams failed due to tensile rupture of CFRP bars. The ACI 440 design guide for FRP reinforced concrete members underestimated the moment capacity of beams failed due to CFRP tensile rupture and reasonably predicted deflections of the beams tested.
A simplified theoretical analysis for estimating the moment capacity of concrete flanged beams reinforced with FRP bars was developed. The experimental moment capacity of the CFRP reinforced concrete beams tested compared favourably with that predicted by the theoretical analysis developed
