Factors influencing development of management strategies for the Abou Ali River in Lebanon. I: Spatial variation and land use
No full textSurface water bodies are progressively subject to increasing stress as a result of environmentally degrading processes primarily related to anthropogenic activities. This study assesses and examines the impact of land use and anthropogenic activities on the spatial variation in water quality of the Abou Ali River in North Lebanon. It is the first detailed study of its kind in Lebanon and adds to the existing Knowledge by shedding light on a relatively small Mediterranean river in a developing country where there is a paucity of such studies. The assessment was conducted at the end of the dry season in 2002 and 2003 and the end of the wet season in 2003 and 2004. The study has demonstrated the importance of anthropogenic influences on the water quality of the Abou Ali River Basin, as concentrations of most contaminants were higher at locations with greatest human activity. The most adversely affected area was the section of the river that flows through an entirely urbanized and highly populated region, the Tripoli conurbation. Upstream rural sites were enriched by contaminants primarily from non-point sources such as agricultural runoff and poultry litter whereas contaminant concentrations at the urban sites were enriched by a combination of sewage discharge and flow of contaminants from upstream. If the Abou Ali River is to be utilized as a managed water resource and its water quality sustained, point source discharges will require treatment and land use management must be planned to minimize the impact of diffuse source pollution on the river. A high priority should be given to the implementation and enforcement of the precautionary and polluter pays principles. Moreover, an effective legal, economic and institutional framework is required to encourage investment in waste reduction and control and to introduce environmentally sound practices

Proceedings of the EMRS 2010 Spring Meeting Symposium M: Thin Film Chalcogenide Photovoltaic Materials Strasbourg, France Preface
No full textSymposium M of the 2010 E-MRS was the 10th in the series of symposia on “Thin Film Chalcogenide Photovoltaic Materials”, which alternate yearly between the E-MRS Spring Meeting in Strasbourg and the MRS Spring Meeting in San Francisco. With close to 250 contributions, this symposium was very successful and has reached a new record of participants showing the dynamics of the scientific community developing and characterizing chalcogenide thin-film materials and solar cells
The Aspects of Animal Sanctification in the Graeco-Roman Monuments in Egypt.(Study in Classical Influences)
No full textThe aim of this study is to explore the relation between the Greeks, Romans and the sacred animals in ancient Egypt. It investigates the classical elements relating to this theme in arts during the Graeco-Roman Periods, and provides artistic and archaeological proofs for the existence of this sanctification among the Greeks and Romans. This aim has been achieved through answering a number of questions: Did the Greeks and Romans believe in the idea of the animal sanctification and participate in it? How can one account for the classical elements that appeared in the representations of the animals in art? Were there stelae, statues and dedications made for the sacred animals by the Greeks and Romans? Thus, I have provided a comprehensive study of one of the most important phenomenon in ancient Egypt, the sanctification of the animal. Many Greek dedications were made to the sacred animals during the Greco-Roman period, especially to the crocodile in El-Fayoum. These dedications are considered an aspect of the animal sanctification. I have investigated in this study the dedications on the temples, the stelae and also the statuettes group of military figures with animal heads as ex-votos. The study explores the classical elements and the influences that appear in the representations of the tombstones of the Graeco-Roman period which carry the shapes of the sacred animals accompanying the deceased. This has been done through studying many stelae from Kom Abou Bellou and Alexandria to prove that the representation of the sacred animals on those stelae was one of the aspects of animal sanctification
