It is Saudi Arabia's biggest Red Sea city and second only to Riyadh the capital. During summer, this metropolis becomes a political capital and a tourist resort for foreigners and Saudis alike. The city of Jeddah was affected by serious and unexpected floods; two great ones took place in 2009, and in 2011. The human and material toll was considerable, since these floods caused the death of hundreds of people, damaged thousands of buildings built on basins' slopes, which, however, had the necessary building permits. To cope with these natural disasters, several urban hydraulic measures were undertaken: like building dams and canals to collect surface waters. These urban measures aimed at the protection of inhabitants and belongings against the risks of floods as well as the interception and the drainage of water streams. Although these protection measures are important, expensive, and effective, they are no longer enough or effective to cope with the evolution of the natural disasters that the city of Jeddah is constantly exposed to. These protective hydraulic measures have not made it possible to reach risk zero situations. Damages and risks are transferred to other zones. After reviewing the description of the city of Jeddah, its urban sprawl and thus the damage suffered following the floods of 2009 and 2011, we draw up an inventory of the infrastructures set up in order to protect the city and minimize the damage during future floods. We will also expose a criticism of these infrastructures through the previous scientific works and through the observation during the rains of 2015 and 2016.

The definitive diagnosis can only be established by histological examination. The treatment modalities for this histological type of bladder tumour have not been standardized and remain controversial. However, the treatment of choice appears to be radical prostatocystectomy preceded by neoadjuvant chemotherapy when compatible with the patient's general state.

Although the clinical characteristics and prognosis of infective endocarditis (IE) have been widely studied, little information was available concerning the possible differences between men and women.

La ponte se déroule exclusivement en mer, la migration thalassotoque se fait entre juin et août et les individus ayant pondu ne reviennent plus à la lagune. La fermeture du goulet de la lagune agit de façon négative en empêchant les individus matures de gagner la mer pour se reproduire et/ou en bloquant la gamétogenèse. La sex-ratio est en faveur des femelles aussi bien dans la lagune qu'en mer.

This approach is based on a formal modelling of the Human-Machine System behaviour. This modelling makes it possible to deduce the user requirements and then to identify the User Interface (UI) objects. The formal aspect allows the validation of the specifications before going on to the generation of the interface. A formalism using Interpreted Petri Nets is proposed for modelling the Human-Machine dialogue.
