Publication date: Available online 15 November 2014 Source:Egyptian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences Author(s): M.A. Zahran , Y.A. El-Ameir The natural plant life of The Egyptian deserts is formed mainly of xerophytes and halophytes rich with fiber taxa that could be considered renewable resources for various fiber industries. Fourteen of these species were described ecologically. The fiber contents of seven species, namely. Thymelaea hirsuta, Cyperus papyrus, Desmostachya bipinnata, Typha domingensis, Typha elephantina, Juncus rigidus and Juncus acutus were measured. The long fibers (1200–6100 μm) represent...

Publication date: 2014 Source:Egyptian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, Volume 1, Issue 1 Author(s): F. Asuke , M. Abdulwahab , V.S. Aigbodion , O.S.I. Fayomi , O. Aponbiede The effect of applied load on the wear behaviour of polymer matrix composites produced using carbonized bone particles (CBp) as reinforcement has been studied. The addition of the CBp ranges from 5 to 20 wt% in the polypropylene matrix. The composites were produced by compounding and compressive moulding. The wear test was conducted by varying the applied load from 5 to 15 N. Microstructures of the worn surface were assessed with high ...

Distribution of zeros of solutions of self-adjoint fourth order differential equations
Publication date: 2014 Source:Egyptian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, Volume 1, Issue 1 Author(s): S.H. Saker , Donal O'Regan In this paper, for self-adjoint fourth order differential equations, we establish some lower bounds on the distance between zeros of a nontrivial solution and also lower bounds on the distance between zeros of a solution and/or its derivatives. We also give new results related to boundary value problems which arise in the bending of rods. The main results will be proved by making use of some generalizations of Hardy, Opial and Wirtinger type inequalities. (Source: Egyptian Journal of B...

Shehata Ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.) is an important stress-tolerant halophyte distributed in saline areas along the Mediterranean coast of the Nile delta, Egypt. Plant communities dominated by M. crystallinum were studied in different habitats. The application of TWINSPAN classification based on 77 species recorded in 50 stands, led to the recognition of four vegetative groups, which are categorized under three communities. The first is salt marsh community co-do...

TP53 polymorphism as a risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma in hepatitis C virus-infected Egyptian patients
Conclusion This case–control analysis confirmed that the Pro/Pro (C/C) genotype and the Pro (C) allele of TP53 codon 72 are associated with increased risk of HCC in HCV-infected patients. Additionally, the data suggest that the plasma TP53 level is downregulated in HCC. (Source: Egyptian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences)
