Diagnosis of High Vibration Causes at the Screw Air Compressor Base Frame in Souq Al-Khamis Cement Factory (Part I)
Conference paper

This paper investigates the resonance phenomenon and modal characteristics of a screw air compressor base frame in the cement manufacturing industry. Numerical analysis and data comparison techniques were used to identify and analyze the resonance issue in a specific compressor at Souq Al-Khamis Cement Factory. The research begins by studying the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the compressor base frame through Finite Element Method (FEM) using the ANSYS Workbench. Practical measurements are conducted using the PHYPHOX App Vibration Analyzer to obtain vibration data from the compressor. The findings of this study contribute to understanding the resonance phenomenon in screw air compressors and provide valuable insights for improving the design and maintenance of compressor base frames in the cement manufacturing industry. By identifying the relationship between excitation frequencies and natural frequencies, measures can be taken to mitigate resonance-related vibration problems and ensure the reliable operation of cement production equipment.

Aerodynamic Analysis of HAWT using Blade Element Method and Q-Blade Software
Conference paper

Blades are the very important components of wind turbines in order to convert wind energy to mechanical or electrical energy. Therefore, the aerodynamic forces acting on the horizontal wind turbine blades have an important role in their performance. The objective of this paper is to investigate the aerodynamic characteristics and power generation properties for a NREL PHASE VI wind turbine blade. For this purpose, an analysis procedure based on the Blade Element Method (BEM) is demonstrated for a horizontal-axis wind turbine model (HAWT), and the methodology approach is discussed in detail throughout this paper. In this study, a Math Lab code has been developed for analyzing a model of Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) in order to display aerodynamic behaviour on the blade. The NACA S809 airfoil was selected for the analysis of the wind turbine blade, where the tip and root losses proposed by Prandtl are also executed. The calculated results are validated using Q-Blade commercial software at rated wind speed of 10 m/s and show that the BEM is a good method of aerodynamic investigation of a HAWT blade

الأيديولوجيا : تعدد الدلالات وصعوبة تحديد المفهوم – مقاربة نظرية
مقال في مجلة علمية

على الرغم من الدور المهم الذي تلعبه الإيديولوجيا إلا أنه لا يوجد اجماع فكري بين المفكرين والفلاسفة حول تحديد ماهية هذا المفهوم مما خلق إشكالات معقدة وجدل واسع وتناقض في التصورات الفكرية والفلسفية في الفكر السياسي والنظرية السياسية.  انطلقت هذه الدراسة من إشكالية أن هناك رؤى وأفكار متعددة حول هذا المفهوم والتي تصل إلى مستوى النقيض نتيجة لما يقدمه هذا المصطلح من معان متعددة وذلك حسب الزاوية التي ينظر منها المتكلم، ولاختبار هذه الفرضية البحثية تم اختيار عدد من المفكرين مثل كارل ماركس من خلال كتابه "الأيديولوجيا الألمانية"، بول ريكور من خلال كتابه "الأيديولوجيا واليوتوبيا" وعبدالله العروي من خلال كتابيه "مفهوم الأيديولوجيا" وكتاب " الأيديولوجيا العربية المعاصرة" وغيرهم من المفكرين وقارنت بين الأدوات المعرفية والمنهجية والأسانيد الفكرية التي استخدمها كل مفكر واستعرضت الاسهامات الفكرية التي قدمها كل منهم لإثراء هذا المفهوم . من أهم نتائج البحث: استمرار وجود الأيديولوجية لأنها مرتبطة بوجود الأفراد ومصالحهم وأهدافهم وطريقة التعبير عن هذه الأهداف، وبالتالي فإن الخلاف حول مفهوم الأيديولوجية سيستمر.

The cross-link between maternal HbA1c and neonatal outcome: A Clinical Case Report
Journal Article

Introduction: Diabetes is a common condition among pregnant women, and a high glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) level can indicate poor outcomes for both the mother and the fetus. This report presents a case of an unknown diabetic primigravida with a significantly elevated HbA1c level, which resulted in severe complications during pregnancy and adverse fetal outcomes. Case Study: A 37-year-old primigravida was referred to the emergency obstetrics and gynaecology clinic, where she reported a notable decrease in fetal movements and feelings of lethargy. Laboratory tests revealed a significantly elevated blood sugar level. After assessing fetal well-being, the decision was made to terminate the pregnancy at 33 weeks and 2 days due to severe fetal distress. Immediate treatment was initiated to control the high blood sugar levels. The outcome was the delivery of a preterm boy who presented with multiple biochemical imbalances and required admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Conclusion: Improving hyperglycemia and glycated haemoglobin levels to lower than the upper normal limits during both the preconception and post-conception phases can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality for mothers and their fetuses.

Genetic Characterization and Sequencing of Lumpy Skin Disease Virus Isolate Circulating in Beni-Suef Governorate, Egypt
Journal Article

Large outbreaks of skin lesions in cattle have been observed recently throughout the governorate. The LSDV was

shown to be the causative factor. The local strain of LSDV was sequenced and deposited into GenBank, where it

was assigned the accession number MK552139 and designated as LSDV/Egy-BSU/2018. The discovered strain

resources were connected and to other LSDVs, however the phylogenetic tree clustered viruses of sheep pox, goat

pox, and LSD viruses independently.

Comparative Analysis of Optimal vs. Adequate Structural Design in Sustainable Construction
Journal Article

Abstract::

The growing urgency for sustainable construction practices has necessitated a reevaluation of traditional design approaches in favor of more environmentally responsible methodologies. This paper presents a comparative analysis between optimal and adequate structural design within the context of sustainable construction. Focusing on two case studies—a cutting-edge, sustainably designed commercial building (the Bullitt Center) and a conventional mid-rise residential building in Chicago—the research explores how different design philosophies impact material efficiency, environmental footprint, economic performance, and occupant satisfaction.Through detailed life cycle assessments (LCA) and life cycle energy analyses (LCEA), the study quantifies the advantages of optimal design, which integrates advanced materials, renewable energy systems, and water conservation technologies. The findings demonstrate that while optimal design requires a higher initial investment, it significantly reduces long-term operational costs and environmental impact, achieving a net-zero energy status and greatly improving occupant well-being. In contrast, the conventional building, which adheres to standard design practices, exhibits higher embodied energy, greater environmental degradation, and lower occupant satisfaction.The paper concludes that optimal structural design is not only more sustainable but also economically viable over the building's life span. It emphasizes the importance of integrating sustainability from the earliest stages of design to achieve meaningful environmental and economic benefits. The study calls for the adoption of policy incentives and advanced modeling tools to facilitate the widespread implementation of optimal design principles in the construction industry.

Role of nitric oxide in neurotoxicity (Immunohistochemical study)
Journal Article

Abstract:

Background: Oxidative stress is a key factor in the neurodegenerative disorder. Free radicals may play an important role. Nitric oxide may be implicated in neurotoxicity by a reaction with superoxide, which forms a highly toxic peroxynitrite radical.

Aim: This research aimed to investigate the role of nitric oxide in neuronal damage through Immunohistochemical study.

Material and method: The experiment was divided into 9 groups, each group containing 6 rats selected randomly. Group 1: control normal saline. Group 2: Aβ(1-42). Group 3: L-arginine. Group 4: L-NAME. Group 5: 7-nitroindazole Group 6: donepezil. Group 7: donepezil+ L-arginine. Group 8: donepezil+ L-NAME. Group 9: donepezil+7-nitroindazole. Neurotoxicity was induced by injection of Aβ(1-42) into the rat entorhinal cortex of all animals except the control normal saline group. After the end of the experiment brain was removed quickly for histopathological study.

Results: Aβ(1-42) significantly elevated COX-2 level when compared with control. when compared with Aβ treated rats, L-arginine, L-NAME, 7-nitroindazole and donepezil separately did not improve the changes in COX-2 level. The combination of donepezil with 7-NI is back to normal.

Conclusion: we concluded that NO plays a central role in neurotoxicity and the regulation of NO level is the key to stability and prevention of neurodegenerative disorder.

Keywords: Oxidative stress, Neuroinflammation, Beta amyloid, L- NAME, Donepezil, L-arginine, Nitric oxide, 7-nitroindazole.
