Semigroup well-posedness and exponential decay of a viscoelastic bilateral contact model with Tresca’s law and infinite memory

In this article, we consider a dynamic contact for viscoelastic materials. The contact is bilateral, and the friction is modeled with Tresca’s friction law which provides a clear physical description of dry friction at the contact interface. The material is assumed to follow a no...

Contribution to the knowledge of the distribution of bats (Chiroptera) in Algeria

Algeria is the largest country in Africa and for the most part has not yet been surveyed for bat species. To contribute to the knowledge of the distribution of Algerian bat fauna, between 2011 and 2026 we surveyed 70 sites from 19 provinces across the country, mostly roost sites...

Repellency of Selected Algerian-Origin Essential Oils and Hybrid Formulations Against Two Arbovirus Vectors, Culex pipiens s.l. and Aedes albopictus

Mosquitoes are significant public health insects responsible for numerous vector-borne diseases. Injudicious chemical use has developed metabolic and genetic resistance in mosquitoes. This study evaluated the repellent efficacy of five essential oils (EOs) from local plants [Ment...

MODFLOW-informed machine learning for interpretable groundwater level prediction under sparse monitoring conditions in the Eastern Mitidja Aquifer, Northern Algeria

Predicting groundwater levels in semi-arid regions is challenging because groundwater systems are controlled by complex processes and monitoring data are often scarce. This study compares six machine learning models—Random Forest (RF), XGBoost, LightGBM, RBF-SVR, LSTM, and CNN—fo...
