The aim of the present study was to evaluate the wear behaviour of cups and heads, to analyze the effects of clearance on the total volumetric wear and to analyze the articulating surfaces roughness. Implants of 32 x 10-3m in diameter were manufactured using cast Co-Cr alloys with high carbon content. Testing was performed in hip joint simulator using bovine calf serum as lubricant. Roughness measurements of the articulating surfaces were taken before and after the wear test of 2x106 cycles. Two wear phases were perceptible for all cups and heads; a run-in phase up to 1x 106 cycles with high wear rate, and a lower steady state wear phase. The cups and heads have the same wear rate in the steady state period. No correlation was found between total wear and clearance. Roughness surface results showed that the wear takes place in the plans 2(54°) and 3(81°) for the heads, in the plans 1(27°) and 2(45°) for the cups.

In some cities, the levels of concentrations of air pollutants have reached levels that pose a risk to human health. Ozone (O3) is a secondary pollutant formed from photochemical reactions of nitrogen oxides (NOx). Numerous studies have found associations between daily levels of ozone with a number of health effects. In the state of South Mato Grosso (MS), there has been a growing increase of ozone levels in the atmosphere in recent years. Considering the above, this study aimed to identify the best estimator for the Weibull distribution, in analyzing the ozone concentration, for the city of Campo Grande-MS. For this, electronic data from the continuous air monitoring station located on the campus of the Federal University of South Mato Grosso (UFMS), Campo Grande was utilized. According to the results presented by the tests, it was verified that the LSRM method presented the poorest performance. The EPFM, MOM and MSDM are most efficient methods to adjust the Weibull distribution curves for the evaluation of ozone concentrations in the atmosphere.

In this study monthly variations of solar radiation of M'sila (a province of Algeria) were examined based on data measured during twenty years (1984-2003). In this paper, a determination of the number of years sufficient to estimate monthly global solar radiation among twenty years was done. Likewise, Weibull, Gamma, Normal, logistic, lognormal and loglogistic functions were used to estimate M'sila monthly solar radiation. In addition these functions were compared with the measured data. The performance of the cited functions were studied using statistical parameters such as correlation coefficient R2, root mean square error (RMSE), mean bias error (MBE) and mean absolute bias error (MABE). According to the results found, we can limit our study concerning the treatment of global solar radiation data, in M'sila region, to fifteen (15) years (from 1984 to 1998) instead of twenty (20) years (from 1984 to 2003). Lognormal distribution is the least favorable one to estimate monthly solar radiation on horizontal surface in M'sila region. In contrast, Weibull distribution is the best one.

For this purpose, several empirical correlations have been developed in order to estimate solar radiation around the word. There are a number of formulate which relate global radiation to other climatic parameters such as sunshine hours, maximum temperature and relative humidity. The most important parameter for estimating global radiation is sunshine duration. The global solar radiation and sunshine hour duration measured over a period of four years (2002-2005) for M'sila region in Algeria (latitude: 35° 42' N, longitude 4° 32' and altitude of 441 m above the sea) were used in this study. Based on Angstrom model monthly and annually regression constants for this region was developed and calculated using three sunshine based models; linear, quadratic and exponential equations. Comparing these models it was observed that the quadratic equation model performed better in terms of coefficient of determination than the other models. Finally, a comparison between quadratic monthly model and quadratic annually model for estimating average global solar radiation was performed using statistical test methods such as R2 and RMSE. The agreement between the measured and monthly model was remarkable and this model is recommended for use in M'sila region.

This paper presents an experimental study on the influences of volumetric flow rate and inclination angle on the performance of a solar collector. The tests were conducted on a solar energy demonstration system (ET200), which consists of a solar collector, a storage tank, a control and command cabinet and a high power lamp simulating solar energy. For radiation intensity of 1.033 kW/m 2 and inclination angle of 0°, the results showed that the efficiency of the collector followed a linear relationship versus the flow rate; g = 0.68 Â Q v + 49.79 and presented a coefficient of correlation (R 2) of 0.9898. Similarly, the increase of the inclination angle from 0°to 60°increased the effectiveness of the collector. A linear relationship; g = 0.43 Â a + 53.07 with a high coefficient of determination (R 2 = 0.967) relates the collector efficiency to the inclination angle. It is important to operate at higher mass flow rates and take the collector angle at 0°in order to reach its meaning full efficiency (heating water).

Some have good estimation capacity for small number of data, others require a large number of observations. In this study, the most probability distribution function for modeling the global solar radiation in Campo Grande, MS (Brazil) was determined. The global solar radiation data used for the analysis consists of daily average global solar radiation collected from University of Mato Grosso do Sul which span over the period of one year from January 2016 to December 2016. Various distribution functions were tested in this study and the most suitable one is determined using four different goodness of fit tests. The tested distributions used are Weibull, Rayleigh, Gamma, Lognormal, Rician and Frechet distributions. Four performance indicators; Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and Coefficient of Determination (R 2) were calculated to evaluate the adequacy criteria of the chosen distributions. The best distribution that fits well the global solar radiation observations in Compo Grande region was the Frechet distribution, followed by Weibull and Rician distributions. The worst distributions are given by Rayleigh and Lognormal. This paper is useful as first-hand information in the prediction of future global solar radiation for Campo Grande having known the past behavior and for fixing the missing data.

It is of a great importance in the exploitation of wind energy resources for a site. The quality of wind speed distribution depends on the capability of chosen probability distribution function, to describe the measured wind speed distribution. The objective of this study is to model wind speed using two probability density functions; the Weibull distribution and the Maximum Entropy principe distribution (MEP). Hourly wind speed data of M'sila region (a town of Algeria) for three years (2008-2010) were treated using these two models. In order to compare these two models, the analysis methods used are; R2, RMSE and χ2. The results obtained showed that hybrid Weibull distribution is very suitable and efficient to estimate wind speed distribution in M'sila's region, characterized by a great percentage of calm wind.

Experiments were performed using a solar energy demonstration system (ET 200). This system comports a collector, a storage tank, a high power lamp simulating solar energy and a control and command cabinet. The increase of the light intensity from 1043,12 to 2649,10 W/m2 increased the effectiveness of the collector. In deed, the light intensity is related to the efficiency of the solar collector with an exponential relationship showing a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.926. For radiation intensity of 885 W/m2, flow rate of 8 l/h , total surface of 0,138 m2 and an inclination angle of 0°, the results showed that the efficiency of the collector followed a linear relationship versus the collector surface and presented a correlation coefficient (R2)of 0,9998. It is important to operate at higher light intensity and large surface in order to reach the meaningful efficiency of the apparatus.

Although ENSO strongly affects atmospheric circulation, its effects on tropospheric ozone are not fully explored. We used satellite measurements of the tropospheric column of ozone to assess the effects of atmospheric circulations driven by ENSO on tropospheric column ozone levels in Mato Grosso do Sul (MS). The objective of this work is to analyze the annual variation and the effects of the El Niño atmospheric variability mode in the Total Ozone Column (TCO) on MS between 2005 and 2020 using data from the AUREA satellite and the \Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) sensor. We found that observed ozone tends to increase in the troposphere after the La Niña peak, corresponding to anomalous downward motions and suppressed convection. The model also reveals that ...

This experimental investigation is devoted to the study of the thermal behaviour of three different building materials used in Algeria, namely sheep wool, traditional brick, and ordinary brick, under real conditions. Three identical chambers were built made of the above-cited materials. Three temperature sensors were placed in the center of the three chambers, which were aligned and separated by approximately 10 cm. The digital acquisition system based on the Arduino board allows us to measure and record temperatures in the middle of the three well-closed rooms for one day (day and night) by oneminute steps. The temperature of the ambient air (outdoor temperature), used as a reference, was taken too. It is found that the thermo-physical properties (thermal diffusivity) of the building materials, in addition to the thickness of the building envelope (walls and roof), play an important role in the heat exchange between the indoor and outdoor. This study aims to encourage the reuse of the traditional bricks seen their advantages in energy saving and environmental preservation.

Currently, a variety of spatial databases, such as NASA/Power, Meteonorm, Solargis, and others, provide solar irradiation data for various places and time intervals. The goal of this study is to verify the accuracy of solar irradiation data from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) database (free estimated data) by comparing them with ground-based measurements taken at four distinct locations in Algeria and Mauritania. Using six statistical parameters, data downloaded from the NASA site for 34 years, from 1984 to 2017, were averaged and compared to ground-based data recorded at M'Sila, Saida, Tamanrasset, and Nouakchott for one year (365 days) on daily (n = 365), monthly (n = 30 or 31), and annual (n = 12) time scales. It has been found that in the absence of daily measured global horizontal irradiation data for one year, the estimated multi-year average NASA data can be used instead. The use of estimated data over a long period is recommended. In the absence of actual solar irradiation data, solar energy projects in Algeria and Mauritania can rely on NASA's estimates.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the fit of average wind speed data for Brasilia, Campo Grande, Cuiaba and Goiania in central western Brazil, to the probability distributions functions (PDF) of: GEV, GUM and LN. The statistical criteria, KS, R2, χ2, RMSE, AIC and BIC were considered as judgment criteria to assess the adequacy of PDF. As the main result, the GEV distribution was the one that presented the best result of adjustments to the functions, mainly in the potential of wind energy use and extreme winds that cause felling of trees in the urban environment. These distributions can be used as an alternative distribution that adequately describes the wind speed data in the region. The weakest configurations were obtained by the GUM and ...

Global solar radiation measurements are not operational in all cities of Algeria, due to high cost of acquisition, maintenance and technical complexities. To overcome this problem the use of empirical models based on temperature as an interesting and accessible parameter is necessary. In this study, six empirical models namely; Hargreaves and Samani model, Chen model, Li 1 model, Li 2 model, Bristow and Compbell model and Okonkwo model, have been selected from literature to estimate monthly global solar radiation from air temperature data of Djelfa. The city of Djelfa (Algeria) is taken as the sole case of study. The performance of those models was evaluated through several statistical indicators (R2, RMSE, MBE, MPE and RPE). The results show the superiority of Li 2 model on the studied models. Based on the evolution of monthly global solar radiation as function of extraterrestrial radiation and air temperature variation, a new model was developed. Comparison between model 4 and the developed one indicates the superiority of the new model. This model has been verified for other Algerian cities such as Biskra and Ghardaia. The data of these regions (global solar radiation, maximum and minimum air temperature) were taken from NASA site web. The results show also the superiority of this new model for these two regions. Therefore, the developed model can be suggested to estimate monthly global solar radiation using only air temperature.

The research in this paper aims to evaluate the solar energy potential of M'Sila, an Algerian internal region, and to determine which technology, among those currently available on the market, is adequate for harnessing that potential for electricity production (PV and CSP). This assessment was based on data (daily temperature and daily solar irradiation) collected at M'Sila weather station for one year and from the NASA site for 34 years from 1984 to 2017. These data were treated with excel 2016 software to determine the total horizontal, diffuse and direct normal solar irradiation. During the study period, the total solar irradiation falling on a horizontal surface in M'Sila (GHI) was estimated to be 1.79 MWh/m2/year. The diffuse solar irradiation incident on a horizontal surface (DHI) and direct normal irradiation, respectively, were e...
