Ecological Risk Assessment of Desalination Plants Discharges on the Marine Environment Red Sea, Egypt
Desalination has become one of the main alternatives to compensate for water shortages. Although seawater desalination is
expensive and has many environmental risks, it is still an important option to compensate for water shortages in Egypt.
The discharge of liquid waste (especially heavy metals) from the station into the sea has a negative impact on the water, so
the spatial distribution of heavy metals (lead, cadmium, and copper) shows high concentrations near the outlets of both AlQusayr and the port of Al-Qusayr. Hamata desalination plants in the southern Red Sea. As for higher quantities of heavy metals - higher than the standard values - such as (Cu, Pb, Cd), they are classified as seawater pollutants, whether they show evidence of toxicity or not. The study demonstrated that seaweed has bio-absorption properties and can effectively absorb
heavy metals from the surrounding water, and thus it can serve as a bio-indicator in tools for monitoring the degree of pollution, as well as evaluating water desalination activities
Comprehensive Study of Various Chemical Samples in Forensic Toxicology: Focus on Urine Sample
Toxicology deals with the measurement and analysis of toxins. It is itself a vast branch of science, though it has several
branches and one of these is forensic toxicology. Forensic toxicology is a branch of toxicology that lines up with other disciplines, namely clinical chemistry, postmortem forensic toxicology, human performance toxicology and forensic drug testing,
providing medical jurisprudence of adverse effects such as drug abuse, poisoning and death. The key role of forensic toxicology is to identify and analyse the toxin compounds found during adverse events. This review paper aims to draw an idea
about the toxin, in the collected biological chemical samples such as urine samples and their effects on their day-to-day life
Entomological Observations on a Decomposing Pig (Sus scrofa) in Nebraska: Late Spring to Early Summer
The determination of the postmortem interval (PMI) towards assisting in medicolegal investigations is a frequent requirement in any developed jurisdiction. Each of the latter has prevailing peculiarities, especially with many operating variables
that include seasonal changes. There is a dearth of information about the decompositional pattern and progress of cadavers
deposited on the ground in Nebraska, a jurisdiction lying within the Central Great Plains of North America. The present
study, using an experimental pig was designed to consider the entomological peculiarities within a geographical area exhibiting taphonomic characteristics, and during a defined season.

In-vitro Regeneration in Maize (Zea Mays L.) from Mature Embryo
Maize is an economically important crop worldwide. As the world population increases, there is a great need to develop
high yielding and stress resistant maize varieties. To provide a future platform for maize improvement, we tested mature embryos as alternative explants for the regeneration of three economically important maize inbred lines: CML331, CML442
and CML444.
The Efficiency and Safety of a Resveratrol and Alpha Lipoic Acid Combination in the Prevention of Gestational Diabetes Related Complications: A Retrospective Clinical Trial
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with an increased maternal and fetal risk of complications. Other than
lifestyle modifications and diet, little prevention can be done towards this maternal complication. Through a preclinical approach and a retrospective clinical trial, we investigated the effects of maternal supplementation with a nutraceutical composition based on resveratrol (RSV) and alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) on insulin resistance and GDM status
The Impact of Seasonal Changes on Growth Performance, Rumen Fermentation, and Rumen Microbiota Structure of Yaks: An Analysis Using the Supplemented 2.5kg Concentrate Level as an Example
The study investigated the effects of supplementing the same level of concentrate in different seasons on the growth performance,
rumen fermentation, serum biochemical index, and rumen microflora changes in yaks, to provide guidance on accurate
feeding of yaks in cold and warm seasons. 12 healthy yaks weighing (124.21±15.64) kg were selected for the experiment,
with a warm season group from August to October and a Cold season supplemental feeding group from October to December.
The results showed that the mean daily gain was significantly higher in the warm season grazing group than in the cold
season grazing group (p<0.05). Rumen fermentation, serum biochemical index, and rumen microflora changes also varied
significantly between the two groups (p<0.05).

(PICU) of Menoufia University Hospital. Clinical examination performed including anthropometric measurement, screening
for malnutrition risk using Pediatric Yorkhill Malnutrition Score (PYMS) and determination of disease severity by Pediatric
Risk of Mortality score (PRISM)
Quantum Quench Dynamics in DNA Molecules at Finite Temperatures
In order to analyze denaturation, we take into account a mapping from the finite temperature phase transition onto a zero
temperature quantum phase transition caused by a quench, where the control parameter is the torsion-associated magnetic
field and the quench duration handles the temperature effect
Mathematical Analysis on the Design of Heliostat Field
The optimal design of heliostat field in solar power generation device is studied Heliostat field generates high temperature
by focusing the sunlight reflected from the mirror surface, thus pushing the turbine to generate electricity. In order to
improve the efficiency of power generation, this paper optimizes the parameters of heliostat field, establishes a singleobjective optimization model, and uses mixed strategy whale optimization algorithm to solve it. Through geometric optical
analysis and ray tracing model, the optical efficiency of heliostat field and the annual average output thermal power per
mirror area are calculated. Finally, through the discussion and analysis of the model, the optimization design method is
evaluated.
Explorations of the Combined Effects of Surface Energy, Initial Stress and Nonlocality on the Dynamic Behaviour of Carbon Nanotubes Conveying Fluid Resting on Elastic Foundations in a Thermo-Magnetic Environment
The vibrations of carbon nanotubes under the influences of various internal and external forces have been subjects of interests
for some years. These researches have not really considered the effects of surface energy and initial stress which are very

nanotube hot fluid-conveying resting on elastic foundations in a magnetic environment. The derived equations governing the
behaviours are solved using Galerkin’s decomposition-Adomian decomposition method is adopted to explore the concurrent
impacts of surface elasticity, initial stress, residual surface tension and nonlocality on the nonlinear vibration of singlewalled carbon conveying nanotube resting on linear and nonlinear elastic foundation and operating in a thermo-magnetic
environment
