Représentations stéréotypées de la femme célibataire chez Leïla Marouane et Kaouther Adimi
No full textIn this paper, the author analyzes the stereotypical representations of single woman from two French-language Algerian novels: Les Pierres dans ma poche by Kaouther Adimi and La fille de la Casbah by Leïla Marouane. By using different literary techniques, the chosen writers formulate a severe criticism of contemporary Algerian society which, despite the hard-won liberties of the second sex, maintains the status quo by enclosing women in stereotypical social roles and by stigmatizing those who do not do not conform to societal standards.In this paper, the author analyzes the stereotypical representations of single woman from two French-language Algerian novels: Les Pierres dans ma poche by Kaouther Adimi and La fille de la Casbah by Leïla Marouane.

Mère tortionnaire, société tortionnaire. Maternité, virginité et révolte dans La jeune fille et la mère de Leïla Marouane
No full textLa jeune fille et la mère, le roman que Leïla Marouane publie à Paris en 2005, se déroule au cours des années soixante-dix, dans une Algérie contemporaine postindépendance, et met en scène une mère, et sa fille – enfant puis adolescente. Dans un premier temps, cette étude vise à situer le roman de Leïla Marouane, La jeune fille et la mère, dans l’écriture algérienne post-années quatre-vingt-dix. Dans un second temps, à travers cette mère tortionnaire dont Leïla Marouane fait le portrait, ce texte démontre que l’auteur dénonce la société algérienne misogyne qui n’a pas su renoncer aux coutumes ancestrales, prive ses femmes de leur identité et de leurs droits.La jeune fille et la mère, the novel Leïla Marouane published in Paris in 2005, is set in the post-industrialist Algeria of the 1970s and features a mother with her daughter – a child and then a teenager. The first aim of this study is to situate Leïla Marouane’s novel, La jeune fille et la mère, in the context of post-nineties Algerian writing. Secondly, through Leïla Marouane’s portrait of a torturing mother, the text shows that the author is denouncing misogynist Algerian society, which has failed to abandon ancestral customs and deprives its women of their identity and their rights
A multi-temporal analysis of AMSR-E data for flood and discharge monitoring during the 2008 flood in Iowa
No full textThe objective of this work is to demonstrate the potential of using passive microwave data to monitor flood and discharge
conditions and to infer watershed hydraulic and hydrologic parameters. The case study is the major flood in Iowa in summer
2008. A new Polarisation Ratio Variation Index (PRVI) was developed based on a multi-temporal analysis of 37 GHz satellite
imagery from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) to calculate and detect anomalies in soil moisture
and/or inundated areas. The Robust Satellite Technique (RST) which is a change detection approach based on the analysis of
historical satellite records was adopted. A rating curve has been developed to assess the relationship between PRVI values
and discharge observations downstream. A time-lag term has been introduced and adjusted to account for the changing delay
between PRVI and streamflow. Moreover, the Kalman filter has been used to update the rating curve parameters in near real
time. The temporal variability of the b exponent in the rating curve formula shows that it converges toward a constant value.
A consistent 21-day time lag, very close to an estimate of the time of concentration, was obtained. The agreement between
observed discharge downstream and estimated discharge with and without parameters adjustment was 65 and 95%, respectively.
This demonstrates the interesting role that passive microwave can play in monitoring flooding and wetness conditions and
estimating key hydrologic parameters
La prévision en temps réel des charges de polluants dans un réseau d'assainissement urbain
No full textLe présent travail vise le développement des méthodologies de prévision et de validation, en temps réel, des charges de polluants dans un réseau d'assainissement urbain. La méthodologie de prévision préconisée s'est basée sur le modèle de "rating curve". Le modèle a été modifié afin de surmonter une de ses faiblesses. Le filtre de Kalman a été utilisé pour identifier les paramètres du modèle en temps réel.
L'approche de validation développée se base sur le principe de la redondance de l'information. Un modèle autoregressif a été utilisé comme indicateur de la tendance de variation à court terme. Le modèle de "rating curve" a été également utilisé pour simuler les charges de polluants en temps réel. Entre la valeur mesurée et simulée, celle qui se rapproche le plus de la valeur prévue par le modèle autoregressif est retenue. Les méthodologies développées ont été testées avec succès sur le bassin du secteur I de la ville de Verdun (Québec)
Utilisation de la télédétection pour l'estimation de la réserve hydrique au bassin du Mackenzie au nord ouest canadien
No full textLa présente recherche qui est appliquée au bassin du fleuve Mackenzie, vise l'estimation de l'humidité du sol en utilisant des données de télédétection captées dans le domaine des micro-ondes passives. Compte tenu de l'étendue et l'hétérogénéité du bassin du Mackenzie, un intérêt particulier a été réservé à des approches globales. Un indice d'humidité a été estimé à partir des images SSM/I, en utilisant des températures de brillance verticalement polarisées et mesurées à 19, 37 et 85 GHz. La comparaison des fractions des plans d'eau obtenues aux débits observés a montré l'existence d'une intéressante corrélation. Les micro-ondes passives sont capables de "voir" les plans d'eau et l'humidité du sol. Dans le domaine du visible, seuls les plans d'eau sont captés. Un nouvel indice d'humidité a été donc proposé en se basant sur la différence de ces sensitivités. L'indice a montré une concordance satisfaisante avec les précipitations et les températures observées

A MODIS-based robust satellite technique (RST) for timely detection of oil spilled areas
No full textNatural crude-oil seepages, together with the oil released into seawater as a consequence of oil exploration/production/transportation activities, and operational discharges from tankers (i.e., oil dumped during cleaning actions) represent the main sources of sea oil pollution. Satellite remote sensing can be a useful tool for the management of such types of marine hazards, namely oil spills, mainly owing to the synoptic view and the good trade-off between spatial and temporal resolution, depending on the specific platform/sensor system used. In this paper, an innovative satellite-based technique for oil spill detection, based on the general robust satellite technique (RST) approach, is presented. It exploits the multi-temporal analysis of data acquired in the visible channels of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board the Aqua satellite in order to automatically and quickly detect the presence of oil spills on the sea surface, with an attempt to minimize "false detections" caused by spurious effects associated with, for instance, cloud edges, sun/satellite geometries, sea currents, etc. The oil spill event that occurred in June 2007 off the south coast of Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea has been considered as a test case. The resulting data, the reliability of which has been evaluated by both carrying out a confutation analysis and comparing them with those provided by the application of another independent MODIS-based method, showcase the potential of RST in identifying the presence of oil with a high level of accuracy
