Stochastic solution for Cauchy one-dimensional advection model in mean square calculus
Publication date: Available online 8 September 2017 Source:Journal of the Association of Arab Universities for Basic and Applied Sciences Author(s): M.T. Yassen, M.A. Sohaly, I.M. Elbaz This work is concerned with the discussion of the numerical approximation for random Cauchy transport model in one dimension. The random (forward time, backward space) finite difference scheme is used to find the stochastic solution. The impression of the consistency and the random von-Neumann stability technique under the mean square sense are studied. Using some examples, we can support our main objective of this model statistically....

Semi-analytical method for solving Fokker-Planck ’s equations
Publication date: Available online 8 September 2017 Source:Journal of the Association of Arab Universities for Basic and Applied Sciences Author(s): Majeed Ahmed AL-Jawary, Ghassan Hasan Radhi, Jure Ravnik In this paper, the linear and nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations (FPE) are solved by a semi-analytical iterative technique. This technique was proposed by Temimi and Ansari (TAM) in 2011. It is used to obtain the exact solutions for the 1D, 2D and 3D FPE. We solve several linear and nonlinear examples to show that the method is efficient and applicable. The results demonstrate that the presented method is very effect...

The effect of domestication on seed yield, essential oil yield and antioxidant activities of fennel seed (Foeniculum vulgare Mill) grown in Moroccan oasis
The objective of this study is to clarify, for the first time in Morocco, the impact of culture on seed yield, growth parameters, yield and antioxidant activity of seed essential oils obtained from wild and cultivated fennel. The cultivation test was installed according to the principles of organic agriculture in a parcel at the oasis of Oukhite South East of Morocco under a completely randomized design with three replications. The agro-morphological characteristics were evaluated during two successive years (2014 and 2015). The results showed that fennel produces more of seed and total dry matter under culture conditions ...
