In this paper, we characterize the dynamic of every abelian subgroups
of GL(, ), or

set in saturated by minimal orbits with a union of at most -invariant vectorial subspaces of
of dimension or on . As a consequence,
has height at most and in particular it admits a minimal set

Influence of manufacturing parameters of knitted compression fabric on interface pressure
The influence of various parameters, such as knitted structure, elastane percentage, elastane yarn count and stitch length,on the interface pressure generated by compression knitted garment has been studied. An experimental device has beendeveloped to measure interface pressure by using a FlexiForce® sensor. The obtained result shows that the pressuregenerated by compression garment depends on the considered parameters. It is observed that plain knitted fabric causes highpressures on leg, generating a high value of interface pressure. Moreover, the increase in elastane percentage and elastaneyarn count cause an increase in interface pressure. Contrariwise, the increase in stitch length generates a decrease ininterface pressure. Mathematical models based on ANOVA analysis are also developed. The validity of these models hasbeen demonstrated using χ2-test
Impact of Magnetic Fields and Fins on Entropy Generation, Thermal, and Hydrodynamic Performance in the Ferrofluids Flow within a Mini Channel
The present work reports a CFD study of the magneto-convection of a ferrofluid (Fe3O4/water) circulating in a mini-channel under the influence of different vortex generators (fins and permanent magnets). The lower surface of the mini-channel is maintained at a constant temperature, while the upper surface is thermally insulated. The influence of fins, magnetic field intensity, and Reynolds number on the thermal and dynamic characteristics of the flow was numerically investigated using the finite volume method. The obtained results show that the coexistence of these two types of vortex generators considerably affects the flow structure; Entropy generation and heat transfer rate. Finally, the analysis of the different results shows that the concurrent presence of both the magnetic field and the fins results in a notably more efficient system. Using magnetic sources and fins simultaneously in a system with an intense magnetic field and a low Reynolds number can lead to a large gain in heat transfer
Meeting of the Ecosystem Approach Correspondence Group on on Pollution Monitoring (CorMon Pollution)
In accordance with the UNEP/MAP Programme of Work adopted by COP 21 for the biennium 2020-2021, the United Nations Environment Programme/Mediterranean Action Plan-Barcelona Convention Secretariat (UNEP/MAP) and its Programme for the Assessment and Control of Marine Pollution in the Mediterranean (MED POL) organized the Meeting of the Ecosystem Approach Correspondence Group on Pollution Monitoring (CorMon on Pollution Monitoring). The Meeting was held via videoconference on 26-27 April 2021.
2. The main objectives of the Meeting were to:
a) Review the Monitoring Guidelines/Protocols for IMAP Common Indicator 18, as well as the Monitoring Guidelines/Protocols for Analytical Quality Assurance and Reporting of Monitoring Data for IMAP Common Indicators 13, 14, 17, 18 and 20;
b) Take stock of the state of play of inter-laboratory testing and good laboratory practice related to IMAP Ecological Objectives 5 and 9;
c) Analyze the proposal for the integration and aggregation rules for IMAP Ecological Objectives 5, 9 and 10 and assessment criteria for contaminants and nutrients;
d) Recommend the ways and means to strengthen implementation of IMAP Pollution Cluster towards preparation of the 2023 MED Quality Status Report

Assessment of genetic diversity and population structure of Tunisian barley accessions (Hordeum vulgare L.) using SSR markers
In barley breeding programs, information about genetic dissimilarity and
population structure is very important for genetic diversity conservation and
new cultivar development. This study aimed to evaluate the genetic variation in
Tunisian barley accessions (Hordeum vulgare L.) based on simple sequence repeat
(SSR). A total of 89 alleles were detected at 26 SSR loci. The allele number per
locus ranged from two to five, with an average of 3.4 alleles per locus detected
from 32 barley accessions, and the average value of polymorphic information
content was 0.45. A cluster analysis based on genetic similarity was performed,
and the 32 barley resources were classified into five groups. Principal coordinates
(PCoA) explained 12.5% and 9.3% of the total variation, and the PCoA was
largely consistent with the results of cluster separation of STRUCTURE software
analysis. The analysis of genetic diversity in barley collection will facilitate cultivar
development and effective use of genetic resources

The effects of a soccer season on anthropometric characteristics, physical fitness, and soccer skills in North African elite female youth soccer players
Backround and objectives In comparison to their European counterparts, there are scarce data regarding skill performance in young elite female North African soccer players. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of a season-long training regime on anthropometric and physical performance characteristics, agility, and soccer skills in Tunisian youth elite female players.
Materials and methods Forty-eight females (24 soccer players SG; 24 non-playing controls, CG) were evaluated at the start of a preparatory period (T1) in September, and 10 months later in June (T2), the end period of the competitive season. Anthropometrics (body mass, body composition), soccer-specific cardiorespiratory endurance (Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1; YYIRT1), muscle power (countermovement jump [CMJ]; squat-jump [SJ]; 5-Jump-Test [5JT]), agility (T-test with and without ball), soccer skill (Loughborough Soccer Passing Test, LSPT) and sprint speed (30 m sprint with 5 and 10 m splits) were measured.
Results The SG experienced significant performance improvements in all tests across the period of the competitive season, demonstrating better improvements in height (P < 0.0001, ES = 1.69), weight (P < 0.0001, ES = 0.92) and BF (P < 0.0001, ES = 1.63). Better CMJ (P < 0.0001, ES = 1.63), SJ (P < 0.0001, ES = 1.33), and 5JT performances than the CG (P < 0.004, ES = 0.39). Similarly, the SG performed better in the sprint, agility, and LSPT tests and covered longer distances in YYIRTL1 (P < 0.0001) compared to the CG.
Conclusion Soccer season training contributed to significant variations in anthropometric characteristics, physical fitness, and soccer skills in Tunisian elite female youth soccer players compared to control group that are beyond those which could be expected through biological maturation alone
