Reduced differential transform method for solving (1 + n) – Dimensional Burgers' equation
Publication date: 2014 Source:Egyptian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, Volume 1, Issue 2 Author(s): Vineet K. Srivastava , Nachiketa Mishra , Sunil Kumar , Brajesh Kumar Singh , Mukesh K. Awasthi This paper discusses a recently developed semi-analytic technique so called the reduced differential transform method (RDTM) for solving the (1 + n) – dimensional Burgers' equation. The method considers the use of the appropriate initial or boundary conditions and finds the solution without any discretization, transformation, or restrictive assumptions. Four numerical examples are provided in order to validate ...

Effect coal ash on some refractory properties of alumino-silicate (Kankara) clay for furnace lining
Publication date: 2014 Source:Egyptian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, Volume 1, Issue 2 Author(s): S.B. Hassan , V.S. Aigbodion The work aimed on the improving the refractory properties of Kankara clay (alumino-silicate) found in Kankara Village, Katsina State, Nigeria by blending with coal ash for the production of refractory bricks was investigated. Coal ash additions were varied from 5 to 25 wt% in the blend. Refractory properties such as: linear shrinkage, apparent porosity, bulk density, cold crushing strength and thermal shock resistance were tested. The results were compared with standard refractory p...

Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in some tissues of fish in the Red Sea, Egypt
Publication date: 2014 Source:Egyptian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, Volume 1, Issue 2 Author(s): Kh. M. El-Moselhy , A.I. Othman , H. Abd El-Azem , M.E.A. El-Metwally The concentrations of heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Fe and Mn) were measured in the liver, gills and muscles of fourteen benthic and pelagic fish species collected from three main landing areas (Shalateen, Hurghada and Suez) in the Egyptian Red Sea. The levels of heavy metals varied significantly among fish species and organs. As expected, muscles always possessed the lowest concentrations of all metals. In most studied fish, the liver was t...

Inhibitory effect of the partially purified protein from Raphnus sativus roots and low-molecular-weight heparin on Ehrlich ascites carcinoma bearing mice
Publication date: 2014 Source:Egyptian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, Volume 1, Issue 2 Author(s): Laila A. Eissa , Salem A. Habib , Mohammed M. Abdel Latif A partially purified protein from the roots of Raphnus sativus (R. sativus) and low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) were tested for their abilities to inhibit the growth of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells (EAC) intraperitoneally implanted in albino mice. 90 mice were randomly divided into 6 groups. The antitumor effect of the partially purified protein and LMWH were assessed by estimating serum transforming growth factor (TGF-β1) and vascular endothelia...

Kinetin and spermine mediated induction of salt tolerance in wheat plants: Leaf area, photosynthesis and chloroplast ultrastructure of flag leaf at ear emergence
Publication date: 2014 Source:Egyptian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, Volume 1, Issue 2 Author(s): Heshmat Aldesuquy , Zakaria Baka , Bardees Mickky The antagonistic effects of kinetin and spermine on stress imposed by seawater on leaf area, pigment, Hill reaction, 14CO2 fixation and chloroplast ultrastructure of wheat flag leaf were investigated. Irrigation of wheat plants by seawater at 25% caused marked decrease in leaf area, pigment content, Hill activity and photosynthetic efficiency of wheat flag leaf at ear emergence. Grain priming with kinetin, spermine or their interaction alleviated the adverse eff...

Land use assessment of barren areas in Damietta Governorate, Egypt using remote sensing
Publication date: Available online 4 August 2014 Source:Egyptian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences Author(s): Maie I. El-Gammal , Rafat R. Ali , Rasha Eissa Damietta occupies an area of about 910 km2 north of the Nile Delta and hosts about 1.3 million persons living within four administrative centers. The region comprises agricultural lands, water bodies, urban area and barren lands. Agriculture is the most land use while there is a significant development of barren lands, which occur at the north and east of Damietta. The present study aims to evaluate and assess the suitability of using barren lands in Damiet...

Cloud point extraction of some precious metals using Triton X-114 and a thioamide derivative with a salting-out effect
Publication date: Available online 10 August 2014 Source:Egyptian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences Author(s): Wael I. Mortada , Mohamed M. Hassanien , Ahmed A. El-Asmy A cloud point extraction procedure is proposed for preconcentration of trace amounts of palladium (II), silver (I) and gold (III) in aqueous medium. The metal ions in the initial aqueous solution were extracted using the non-ionic surfactant, Triton X-114 after complex formation with 4-(p-chlorophenyl)-1-(pyridin-2-yl)thiosemicarbazide at pH 6.0 in the presence of 0.3 mol L−1 sodium sulfate as a salting-out agent at 25 °C. Dilution of the s...
