Heated and silent adoration in the novel of " Desert of Love" by Francois Mauriac: Passions dévorantes et cachées dans Le Désert de lʼAmour de François Mauriac
...Show More Authors

  François Mauriac’s novel The Desert of Love (1949) puts the reader before an experienced sociologist who is skillfully able to analyze the most mysterious human emotions and feelings.  The writer's starting point is that people are similar in feelings but different in behavior. He severely criticized the aristocratic class and uncovered its defects and faults.

         The novelist presents Courege's family as an example of the aristocratic class. It is a family torn by hatred, selfishness and disagreements due to absence of intimacy and love. This poisoned environment pushes the father and his son, Raymond, to search away for emotional ventures and banned relations to satiate their emotional thirst.

         Unfortunately, they fall in deep love with the same woman unintentionally. She does not satisfy their burning passion as she leaves them with much thirst for love. They become like getting out of frying pan into the fire.

          Finally, Mauriac figures out the reasons of all problems in the absence of love and passion which represent the key for welfare and happiness. The writer reveals his stylistic skill and unparalleled literary ability in describing the whole atmosphere which leaves the reader amused and captivated in passion battle , a battle with no winner.

The paper is divided into two basic topics:
1-Dryness of family relations 
2-Emotional ventures and illegal relations
The research paper depends on objective analytic approach via topic unity analysis .

Résumé

        Le Désert de L’Amour  met le lecteur en face d’un sociologue chevronné du début du XX ème siècle, un sociologue apte à analyser expertement les sensations et les émotions humaines les plus subtiles et les plus fugitives .

         François Mauriac part d’un principe psychologique de base dans ses études, c’est que les gens convergent dans les pensées et les sentiments, mais ils divergent dans leurs manières d’agir .

        Son domaine favorable était la société et surtout la classe bourgeoise qu’il fouettait sans merci pour la mettre à nu avec tous ses torts et ses travers.

        Mauriac choisit la famille Courrèges comme échantillon de cette classe sociale. Il s’agit d’une famille déchiquetée par l’égoïsme, la haine et les malentendus permanents. Ce climat toxique et malsain pousse obligatoirement le père Courrèges et son fils Raymond à échapper à la famille pour chercher des aventures amoureuses et des  relations extra conjugales afin d’assouvir leur soif d’amour.

        Par malheur, ils tombent amoureux de la même femme sans le savoir et sans jamais l’avouer. Malgré leur passion dévorante pour cette femme charmante, et à l’encontre de toute attente, elle n’a fait qu’élargir leur désert et augmenter son aridité; les deux amants sont restés sur leur soif pareils à celui qui , pour échapper à la chaleur, se protège par le feu.

       Tout compte fait, François Mauriac met le doigt sur la véritable plaie de tous ces problèmes en l’absence de l’amour. L’amour seul est la clé et le remède efficace qui peut transformer les déserts en jardins verdoyants.

         Dans son roman, l’auteur fait preuve d’ingéniosité dans le style,  et de capacité littéraire inouïe qui berce le lecteur et le laisse emporter par son imagination dans une bataille amoureuse sans vainqueur .

Cette recherche est  divisée en deux thèmes principaux :
1-Sécheresse des relations familiales .
2-Aventures amoureuses et relations extraconjugales .
Dans cette étude, nous avons recours à la méthode thématique, explicative et analytique .

Morphological study of porous aromatic schiff bases as a highly effective carbon dioxide storages
...Show More Authors

Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage is a critical issue for mitigating climate change. Porous aromatic Schiff base complexes have emerged as a promising class of materials for CO2 capture due to their high surface area, porosity, and stability. In this study, we investigate the potential of Schiff base complexes as an effective media for CO2 storage. We review the synthesis and characterization of porous aromatic Schiff bases materials complexes and examine their CO2 sorption properties. We find that Schiff base complexes exhibit high CO2 adsorption capacity and selectivity, making them a promising candidate for use in carbon capture applications. Moreover, we investigate the effect of various parameters such as temperature, and pressu

Marijuana THC treatment led to decreased metabolic functions of Staphylococcal enterotoxin B-activated lymphocytes
...Show More Authors
Abstract<p>Studies from our laboratory have shown that Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), an ingredient found in marijuana plant Cannabis sativa, can attenuate acute lung injury induced by Staphylococcus enterotoxin B (SEB). In the current study, we investigated the role of THC on the metabolism of SEB-activated lymphocytes. To this end, we determined metabolic potential of SEB-activated lymphocytes treated with vehicle or THC by performing the Cell Mito Stress Test. The oxygen consumption rate (OCR) in THC-treated cells was decreased when compared to vehicle-treated group whereas the extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) was similar in both the groups. Specifically, electron transport chain inhi</p> ... Show More

A Kinetic Study on Microwave- assisted Extraction of Bioactive Compounds from Rosmarinus Officinalis L
...Show More Authors

Due to the importance of the extraction process in many engineering and medical industries, in addition to great interest in medicinal plants, in this research, microwave-assisted extraction has been applied to extract some active compounds from Rosmarinus officinalis leaves.  The optimal extraction conditions were then determined by calculating the ratio and extraction efficiency. The process has also been described through kinetic study by applying five  kinetic models, the Hyperbolic diffusion model,  Power low model, the First order reaction  model, Elovich's model, and Fick's second law diffusion model and determining their compatibility with the studies operation, and determining the kinetic constants for each model. The result

Background: Determination of local bone mineral density (BMD) immediately after implant insertion play an important role in implant success rate, may offer comprehensive description of the bone, and give enough information to the surgeon prior to implant insertion and at follow up status. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the changes of local bone density in the dental implant recipient sites by using computerized tomography. Material and method: The sample consisted of (20) dental implants recipient sites, bone density assessment was done twice, immediately after implants insertion and after six months. Results: The mean HU of the bone around the implant insertion site, immediately after implant placement was 552.28 HU, and inc

This research presents and discuss the results of experimental investigation carried out on geogrids model to study the behavior of geogrid in the loose sandy soil. The effect of location eccentricity, depth of first layer of reinforcement, vertical spacing, number and type of reinforcement layers have been investigated. The results indicated that the percentage of bearing improvement a bout (22 %) at number of reinforced layers N=1 and about (47.5%) at number of reinforced layers N=2 for different Eccentricity values when depth ratio and vertical spacing between layers are (0.5B and 0.75B) respectively
