A partial cDNA clone [2.4 kilobase (kb)] for the nerve growth factor-inducible large external (NILE) glycoprotein was selected from a lambda gt 11 expression library constructed using mRNA from PC 12 cells. A 0.2 kb subclone (pNILE-1B) was used for Northern blot analysis of NILE message present in 2 NILE-positive neuronal cell lines and 2 NILE-negative glial cell lines. pNILE-1B hybridizes with...

Abstract Lateral intake structures suffer from sediment deposition and instability of flow path which may have a negative influence on the efficiency power plants that use river intakes as primary source for their cooling system. This study aims to experiment usage submerged vanes mitigation method determine effectiveness in decreasing deposition. A numerical model was constructed using DELFT3D...

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) has been known to occur since the 1980s on the western bank of the White Nile River (Central Sudan), 150 km south of Khartoum, and has resulted in high mortality. The most recent outbreak of the disease in this area began in 2006. Entomological surveys were carried out during May 2008, June 2010 and May and July 2011 in the White Nile area. Sandflies were collected u...

Bacteriological examinations were carried on four types of water samples which collected from tap water, river Nile ground and bottled at different cities in Dakahlia Damietta Governorates, Egypt during 2017/2018 order to determine the level total count bacterial isolates present our . These groups described as coliform bacteria, fecal streptococci, according counts methods. Generally,the highe...

BACKGROUND The present investigation was an endeavor into the elucidation of the disease-causing pathogen of streptococcosis in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Egypt affecting adult fish cultured and wild fish in the Nile river. Fish were obtained from commercial fishermen, collected as part of their routine fishing activities. The researchers observed the routine fishing process and se...

We report here stable carbon and nitrogen isotope results from human and faunal bone collagen from samples taken from sites in the Egyptian Nile Valley and surrounding region, dating from the Predynastic (c. 5500 BC) through to the Dynastic (c. 343 BC) periods. Isotopic values for the human population cluster together across this broad time range, with high dN ratios, and dC values indicating a...

1.INTRODUCTION Modern designed buildings in the mamiluk and Fatimid part of Cairo represent an odd vision for the mere observer and the relevant visitor .This part of Cairo displays an array of historical cultures exhibiting the sequence of very outstanding and important episodes in the Islamic history of Egypt. The Children's Cancer Hospital near the River Nile at Cairo is a worldclass pediatr...

It is widely accepted that modern humans originated in sub-Saharan Africa approximately 150-200 thousand years ago (ka), but their route of dispersal across the currently hyperarid Sahara remains controversial. Given that the first modern humans north of the Sahara are found in the Levant approximately 120-90 ka, northward dispersal likely occurred during a humid episode in the Sahara within Ma...

The late Quaternary Kibish Formation of the Omo Valley, southwestern Ethiopia, preserves environments reflecting a history of fluctuations in the level of nearby Lake Turkana over the past 200,000 years. The Kibish Formation has yielded a diverse mammalian fauna (as well as birds and crocodiles), stone tools, and the oldest anatomically modern Homo sapiens. Fish, the most common vertebrate foss...
