Holotype female of T. balanites from B. aegyptiaca, at Shambat city, North Sudan, December 1966 (coll. E.A. El-Badry); holotype female, one paratype male and one male of T. mangiferus from mango leaves, at Giza governorate, September 1977 (coll. M.A. El-Borolossy); one female from same substrate and locality, February 1987 (coll. M.A. Zaher); one female from organic manure at Nasser, Beni Suef governorate, April 2001 (coll. A.H.M. Romeih); two females from mango leaves, at Senuris, Fayoum governorate, December 2002 (coll. R.I.A. Abo-Shnaf); one male from same substrate and locality, July 2003 (coll. R.I.A. Abo-Shnaf); one female from same substrate and locality, January 2004 (coll. R.I.A. Abo-Shnaf); one female from apple leaves, at same locality, March 2003 (coll. R.I.A. Abo-Shnaf); two females from Z. jujube leaves, at the Faculty of Agriculture Farm, Cairo University, Giza governorate, August 2001 (coll. M.M. Ahmed). Previous records from Egypt. as T. balanites — Fayoum governorate (Romeih et al., 2010 b); Giza governorate (Zaher, 1986; Romeih et al., 2010 b); as T. egypticus —Cairo governorate (Zaher, 1986); Giza governorate (El-Badry, 1967 a; Zaher, 1986); as T. mangiferus —Giza, Ismailia and Matrouh governorates (Zaher, 1986). Remarks. Typhlodromus egypticus was originally described from the holotype female and T. mangiferus from an unstated number of type specimens, both from Giza governorate, Egypt. The original descriptions of T. egypticus and T. mangiferus were reasonably detailed and illustrated; setal measurements were provided for T. mangiferus but not for T. egypticus. Typhlodromus balanites was originally described from the holotype female, 34 paratype females and five paratype males collected in North Sudan. The original description was rather detailed, with illustrations and setal measurements. An examination of the type specimen of T. balanites showed this to be a junior synonym of T. egypticus. El- Badry (1967 a, 1970) reported the chelicera of T. egypticus to have no teeth [sic], while Chant & McMurtry (1994) mentioned species of what they called the “ egypticus species group” to have chelicera with few teeth [sic]. Despite our effort, it was not possible to obtain types of T. (A.) egypticus for examination in this study. Thus, the new synonymy proposed in this paper is based on an examination of types of T. mangiferus, on the original description of T. egypticus, on the fact that both nominal species were described from the same region and on the several additional females and males examined in this study. Our measurements of T. mangiferus holotype are close to those reported by Zaher (1986) for a single female, except z 2 (30 according to that author).Published as part of Abo-Shnaf, Reham I.

Outcome of medial sphenoidal wing meningioma surgery
No full textAbstract
Background: Sphenoid wing meningiomas among difficult surgery tumours due to involvement of important structures like optic nerve, cavernous sinus or carotid artery.
Objective: to evaluate outcome and prognostic factors in patients with medial sphenoid wing meningiomas after microsurgery in a series of 47 patients with medial sphenoid wing meningioma.
Method: This paper includes analysis of 47 patients & their data who underwent surgical management for meningiomas involving the medial sphenoid wing in the period between Jan 2008 and February 2016 at Mansoura university hospital.
Results: The most of patients were suffering from visual impairment (59.6%), followed by headaches (38.2%). Total tumor resection were achieved in 23 cases, incomplete in 19 cases and partial resection in 5 cases. Visual acuity improved or stable in 57.4% of the patients. Preoperative neurological deficit remains unchanged postoperative in 35 cases while improved in 4 cases. 8 cases developed permanent 3rd Nerve palsy. Tumor recurrence was in 7 patients.
Conclusion: There are many factors influence the prognosis of inner sphenoid wing meningioma including the extent of surgical resection, cavernous sinus invasion, present or absent of peritumoral edema, vascularity of the tumor, size of the tumor, presence or absence of arachnoid plane between the tumor and surrounding neurovascular structures and preoperative neurological condition</jats:p

Evaluation of the physico-chemical and metallic pollution of groundwater around the Landfill and recovery Center of Oum Azza (Rabat Region - Morocco).
Get PDFTo reduce the impact of solid waste on the natural environment, in particular its effects on water resources, Morocco has made great efforts to manage them. Indeed, in the framework of the National program for household waste, about twenty controlled landfills or landfill and recovery center (CEV) have been built to mitigate the pollution and nuisance of existing wild dumps. However, these controlled landfills remain an alternative whose environmental impacts are difficult to control. Thus, the present work aims to evaluate possible impacts of the solid waste landfill and recovery center (CEV) of Oum Azza (Rabat, Morocco) on the quality of the surrounding groundwater. The hydro-chemical quality of these waters intended for the supply of the rural populations of this region was studied through the spatio-temporal monitoring of a certain number of physicochemical and metallic parameters. Thirty-six samples were collected, analyzed and evaluated from nine wells in the four seasons of 2015. The results of this study show that the groundwater of certain wells near the CEV d'Oum Azza are highly mineralized and contaminated. This diversified contamination is probably due to anthropogenic effects including organic, nitric and / or metallic
A Literature Review on the Correlation Between Shear Bond Strength and the Degree of Conversion of Orthodontic Adhesive Systems
Get PDFObjectives: The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive literature review on the correlation between shear bond strength and the degree of conversion of the orthodontic adhesive systems. Thus, this is considered as a major issue for the success of the orthodontic bonding techniques. Material and Methods: Electronic searches were performed in Pubmed and Scopus databases using relevant keywords. Textbook searching was also applied. Following the selection, full-text English language papers were fully reviewed to ensure that they met both the inclusion and the exclusion criteria. Results: Recent studies suggest that when increasing the DC, the SBS will increase. Thus, this results to a stiffer and a more durable resin. Conclusions: There is a wide range of factors affecting the SBS, DC, and their correlation. Some of them are related to the tooth etching techniques, adhesive related factors, curing units, and bracket materials. More research is required to develop more understanding of the role of these factors in determining the bonding success. This is because there are no specific published papers which were directly linked to the correlation between the SBS and the DC of orthodontic adhesives
Temperature dependence of the entropy and the in situ size of a rotating condensate cloud in an optical lattice
No full textIn this paper, the temperature dependence of the entropy and the in situ size (effective widths and effective area) and the expansion energy, of a rotating condensate cloud in an optical lattice are investigated. A simple semiclassical approximation, in comparison to the quantum-mechanical calculations, is suggested. The calculated results showed that the temperature dependence of the above mentioned parameters is changed in an optical lattice and depends crucially on the rotation rate. The obtained results provide useful qualitative theoretical results for future Bose Einstein condensation experiments in such traps

No full textEffect of storage time, egg weight and moisture loss on hatchability parameters of Baladi chicken eggs
No full textA total of 625 Baladi chicken eggs were used to study the effect of storage time, egg weight on moisture loss, fertility, embryonic mortality and fertile hatchability. The influence of pre-incubation, first and second week of incubation moisture loss (MLl, ML2, ML3) were also investigated. The results revealed a significant storage time effect on moisture loss, fertility and fertile hatchability. As days of storage time increased (0, 3, 6 and 9 days), the fertility (93.23, 86.60, 74.32 and 73.04%) and fertile hatchability (88.60, 80.41, 75.75 and 77.01%) decreased while the pre-incubation moisture loss increased (00, 14.88,28.88 and 49.16 mg/egg/d). However, the effects of storage time on the first and second week of incubation moisture loss and embryonic mortality were inconsistant. The results also showed that egg weight had a significant effect on moisture loss. The higher the egg weight (> 46 gm) the higher the pre and< during incubation moisture loss (MU: 26.10, ML2: 198.88 and ML3: 219.51 mg/egg/d). The pre-incubation moisture loss influence on fertile hatchability was also found to be significant. The higher the moisture loss percentage « 0.1, 0.I--D.75and> 0.75%) the lower the fertile hatchability(89.29,78.08and 76.4%). The moisture loss during the first week had no consistant effect on hatchability parameters, while that of the second week had no effect upon the studied traits.Corresponding Author:
