Self-regenerating photocatalytic water treatment systems: integrating cognitive AI control, bio-inspired self-healing, and thermoelectric energy harvesting

Conventional photocatalytic water treatment systems face persistent limitations in terms of catalyst deactivation, energy consumption, and adaptability to variable influent quality. This review examines the integration of three emerging technological domains, machine learning dri...

Institutionalized Patriarchy Beyond Representation: Rurality, Gender, and Political Participation Among Amazigh Women in Morocco

The objective of this article is to examine how gendered institutional practices constrain the substantive political participation of Amazigh-speaking women elected to local councils in Morocco. Although constitutional reforms, gender quotas, and the official recognition of Amazi...

Perceptions of AI-assisted learning and learner development among Moroccan secondary school students

The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in education has fundamentally altered traditional learning paradigms, presenting both unprecedented opportunities for personalized support and novel academic challenges. This study aims to examine secondary school stu...

Seasonal reliability of a PV-biogas-battery system for rural Morocco: A simulation-based study of digestate valorization and circular bioeconomy benefits

Rural agricultural households in semi-arid Morocco face persistent energy insecurity due to seasonal solar variability and dependence on subsidised butane. This simulation-based study evaluates a standalone photovoltaic–biogas–battery system (2.5 kW PV, 250 Ah battery, 2600 W bio...

Fair Bayesian Stackelberg Federated Learning Under Strategic and Heterogeneous Client Participation

Federated learning must accommodate statistical heterogeneity, costly client participation, and distinct fairness objectives for model performance and participation frequency. We introduce Fair Bayesian Stackelberg Federated Learning (FBS-FL), in which a server maintains beliefs...

Potential inhibitors of Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV dependent from Moroccan phytocompound: molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and MM-PBSA analyses

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is the most prevalent form of diabetes and is characterized by beta-cell dysfunction and reduced insulin sensitivity. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) has emerged as a pivotal target in the development of antihyperglycemic drugs aimed at improving...

The wavelet transform associated with the Jacobi–Cherednik operator

In this paper, we introduce the wavelet transform associated with the Jacobi–Cherednik operator. We first present some basic properties of the Opdam–Cherednik wavelet transform. Then, we establish a few versions of the uncertainty principle for this transform. In particular, we s...

Investigating soft skills development and workforce readiness in higher education in Morocco

Purpose This study investigates undergraduate students’ and alumni’s perceptions of workforce readiness and curriculum-based soft skills development at a Moroccan higher education institution, examining whether perceived curriculum exposure to soft skills translates into self-rep...

Multimodal linear and nonlinear vibration analysis of cable-stayed beams under free and forced excitations with elastic end supports

This paper presents an analysis of the linear and geometrically nonlinear vibrations of a cable-stayed beam equipped with elastic translational and rotational supports, based on a multimodal analytical formulation. The beam is modeled using Euler–Bernoulli beam theory, while the...

Phytochemical Characterization of Schinus terebinthifolia Leaf Phytobiotics and Their Potential as Natural Antibiotic Adjuvants Against Carbapenem-Resistant Bacteria

The emergence of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria has intensified the search for natural compounds capable of restoring antibiotic efficacy by targeting β-lactamase-mediated resistance. This study investigated the antibacterial, β-lactamase inhibitory, and in silico po...

Selective separation of methylene blue from MB/AY61 mixtures using a non-fluorinated PVA–CA membrane coupled to activated carbon

Selective dye separation from complex aqueous mixtures remains challenging due to competitive interactions and weak mass transfer driving forces. In this study, a non-fluorinated poly(vinyl alcohol)–cholic acid (PVA–CA) polymer inclusion membrane was developed for selective trans...

Thermal reversing and non-reversing flows in zero-mean time-modulated Rayleigh–Bénard convection

Abstract Inspired by the occurrence of reversing and non-reversing flows in time-modulated Taylor–Couette flow, the presence of these flows in time-modulated Rayleigh–Bénard (RB) convection systems remains intriguing, especially in light of similarities between these flow configu...

Genotoxic Activity of Cerastes cerastes Viper Venom Using Alkaline Single-Cell Gel Electrophoresis

In Morocco, Cerastes cerastes snake is responsible for numerous cases of human envenomation, leading to both local and systemic pathophysiological disturbances. This study provides a first preliminary evaluation of cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of its venom on genomic material...

A finite element method for analyzing the free vibration of tapered functionally graded porous (FGMP) arches with point masses

This study examines the linear free vibration of a linearly tapered circular arch made of functionally graded porous material and carrying a concentrated mass at an arbitrary curvilinear location. Both uniform and non-uniform through-thickness porosity distributions are considere...

How Norms Depend on the Presence and Status of Observers: The Relational Contingency of Everyday Behaviors in 90 Societies

Norms are fundamental to social life, but basic questions about how they are affected by social context remain. Specifically, how do normative constraints depend on the presence and status of observers, and how do such relational contingencies vary across cultures? Using data fro...

Cognitive assessment and progress in language skills in Arabic-speaking subjects with neurodevelopmental dyslexia

Objectives: Developmental dyslexia affects a significant number of children and represents a major challenge for educational systems and healthcare professionals. The evolution of the oral and written language skills of dyslexic children is attracting growing interest, particular...

After-Sales Service Network Design Under Demand Uncertainty: A Two-Stage Stochastic Program with Interchangeable Resources

Before failures are known, an after-sales provider must decide where to open service centers, how to staff and cross-train technicians, how much spare-part throughput to reserve, and how much service capacity to keep in-house. Two features of this planning problem require separat...

Clinical outcomes of linear accelerator-based stereotactic radiosurgery for trigeminal neuralgia

Background: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a severely disabling facial pain disorder. When medical treatment fails, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is an established option. The Gamma Knife is widely used but not always available. This study assessed the efficacy and safety of line...

Multifunctional superhydrophobic electrospun recycled PVC membranes on polyester support with mineral and carbon additives for Oil–Water separation and ionic attenuation

The design of polymer composites from recycled materials requires careful control over structure at different length scales. In this work, post-consumer polyvinyl chloride (PVC) was transformed into a textile-supported electrospun nanofibrous composite reinforced with calcium car...
