Influence of the Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS) on hematological and biochemical parameters of Nile Tilapia, .

The acute toxicity of household detergent (Ariel) on blood parameters and histology of was investigated using static bioassay for 96 h. Normal feed was given to control group without detergents treatment. while WBC count showed a highly significant increase.

Polymer-Peptide Modified Gold Nanorods to Improve Cell Conjugation and Cell labelling for Stem Cells Photoacoustic Imaging.

The use of gold nanorods (GNRs) as a contrast agent in bioimaging and cell tracking has numerous advantages, primarily due to the unique optical properties of gold nanorods which allow for the use of infrared regions when imaging. Owing to their unique geometry, Au NRs exhibit surface plasmon modes in the near-infrared wavelength range, which is ideal for carrying out optical measurements in biological fluids and tissue. Gold nanorod functionalization is essential, since the Cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide CTAB gold nanorods are toxic, and for further in vitro and in vivo experiments the nanorods should be functionalized to become optically stable and biocompatible.

Using electro- and alum coagulation technologies for treatment of wastewater from fruit juice industry in New Damietta City, Egypt.

Electrocoagulation technology is being increasingly used to treat various types of wastewater over the last several years. This study aimed to investigate the industrial wastewater treatment of a fruit juice factory as an example of food processing industries in New Damietta City, Egypt, by using electrocoagulation technology. This is to solve an environmental problem, represented in the high organic load of these effluents.

Oceanographic factors of oil pollution dispersion offshore the Nile Delta (Egypt) using GIS.

Oil pollution is a worldwide concern due to the increasing rate of offshore oil production and transport. As the Nile Delta coast is adjacent to the main route of oil transport through the Suez Canal, accidental oil spills along the offshore region may have a tremendous impact on the coastal waters. If the oil slicks reach the coast, the impact should also be significant.

Biogas upgrading and biochemical production from gas fermentation: Impact of microbial community and gas composition.

The present study proposes a novel alternative method of the current biogas upgrading techniques by converting CO (in the biogas) into valuable chemicals (e.g., volatile fatty acids) using H as energy source and acetogenic mixed culture as biocatalyst.

Simultaneous biogas upgrading and biochemicals production using anaerobic bacterial mixed cultures.

A novel biological process to upgrade biogas was developed and optimised during the current study. In this process, CO in the biogas and externally provided H were fermented under mesophilic conditions to volatile fatty acids (VFAs), which are building blocks of higher-value biofuels. Meanwhile, the biogas was upgraded to biomethane (CH >95%), which can be used as a vehicle fuel or injected into the natural gas grid.
