Abstract:
... Human milk has an important role in infants' psychological and immunological development. In addition to providing vital substances, some environmental contaminants, such as potentially toxic elements (PTEs), can be transmitted by human breast milk to infants. However, some studies monitored PTEs concentration in human breast milk; no metanalysis was conducted to estimate the concentration of PTEs ...
... Wadi-Allaqi district, in the southern part of the Eastern Desert of Egypt, is a historic well-known gold resource that has been exploited since the Pharaonic era. The study area represents the western segment of Wadi-Allaqi, about 220 km southeast Aswan city, Upper Egypt. It covers approximately 4702 km². Exploring new potential mineralization zones was conducted by integrating the Landsat-8 and a ...

Abstract:
... Seven field experiments were conducted at three experiment stations representing major sugarcane producing regions in Egypt. Each experiment comprised a randomized complete block design with three replications. Fourteen elite breeding lines typical of those routinely generated in the three final selection stages of sugarcane breeding programs in Egypt, along with one check variety (GT54-9) were ev ...

Abstract:
... The anatomical structure of seed coats of 13 Egyptian taxa belonging to three Fabaceae-Papilionoideae tribes, Sophoreae, Crotalarieae, and Genisteae, were investigated using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Mature seeds show an anatomically complex structure, characteristic of members of Papilionoideae, composed of three main layers: macrosclereids, hypodermis, and parenchyma, in ...
... Stripe (yellow) rust disease caused by Puccinia striifarmis f. sp. tritici, is a catastrophic wheat disease in wheat-growing regions around the world. The objective of this study was to investigate potential sources of stripe rust resistance and the yield loss of forty local wheat varieties at four locations in Egypt (Sakha, Mutubas, Qillin and Biyala), under yellow rust disease pressure compared ...

Abstract:
... The Great Umayyad Mosque of Damascus built between about 706 and 714/15 CE is the oldest surviving mosque that still preserves large parts of its original architecture and decoration. The origins of the mosaic tesserae have been the subject of debate for more than a thousand years. The earliest sources written two centuries after the construction of the edifice claim a Byzantine origin of both, th ...

Abstract:
... This article discusses in detail the ability of Landsat-8 remotely sensed data to recognize and map Neo-proterozoic basement rocks in the Igla area. The Igla area in the Central Eastern Desert of Egypt is covered by a variety of Neo-proterozoic rocks comprising three tectonostratigraphic assemblages: ophiolitic, island arc, and late-to-post-tectonic assemblages. Lithological and structural mapping ...

Abstract:
... The intangible cultural heritage is considered part of the identity and history of any country as well as it plays a vital role in economics. Traditional craftsmanship is perhaps the most tangible manifestation of intangible cultural heritage. Egypt's heritage in handicrafts is rich, unique and diversified, all stemming from its long history. The handicraft centers are available in all the governo ...

... Recent contributions to network infrastructures pay increasing attention to the key role of ‘intermediate’ or ‘meso-institutions’ linking the level at which rules and norms are established and the level at which operators and users proceed. Building on these contributions, this article examines the institutional setting that underlies water, sanitation and wastewater services in Egypt. Referring t ...

Several vein-type gold mineralization with hydrothermal alteration zones have long been known in the study area. Aeromagnetic and remote sensing imagery data were integrated for mapping the structural elements and hydrothermal alteration zones rel ...

... It is widely accepted that transport infrastructure policies have significant consequences on the environment, housing, business, and people’s everyday movement. With the use of space syntax geometric (sum of angular deviations) and topological (number of directional changes) measures and conventional network metric distance, this article analyses the change in transport infrastructure in Greater ...

The data covered one decade (2002–2011) and were used to describe the temporal sea-level variability off Port Said including; its mean sea level (MSL), annual rate trend, seasonal behaviour, main tidal features, and the different water levels. The T_TIDE program was a ...

The following two failure scenarios were modeled as part of this study: Dam Break (DB) and MisGuided Dam Operation (MGDO) as a result of a false flood signature. The DB scenario shows that 40% of the intensively cultivated Gez ...

... In 1977, a sample of diseased adult honeybees (Apis mellifera) from Egypt was found to contain large amounts of a previously unknown virus, Egypt bee virus, which was subsequently shown to be serologically related to deformed wing virus (DWV). By sequencing the original isolate, we demonstrate that Egypt bee virus is in fact a fourth unique, major variant of DWV (DWV-D): more closely related to DW ...

While the market orientation (MO) is a significant predictor of new product development (NPD) performance in the previous studies, research reveals that adopting the MO is insufficient without a deeper grasp of other determinants. The study model is based on the resource-based view (RBV) to investigate the MO-NPD performance relationship through mediating marketing technical integration (MTI) in t ...

... Water quality (WQ) data are essential for water resources as well as WQ management. However, due to limited fiscal resources, in many cases, historical WQ data may not be available for the watershed(s) of interest. Recently, few artificial intelligent and parametric statistical approaches were proposed for the estimation of WQ characteristics at ungauged watersheds. In this study, the main goal wa ...
