Folia Microbiol (Praha)

Botany Department, Faculty of Science, Assiut University, Egypt.

Published: June 1989

Forty-six soil samples collected from different sites of wadi Qena were examined for keratinophilic fungi using the hair baiting technique. Thirty-two species in addition to one variety of each of A. nidulans and A. flavus which belong to eighteen genera were recovered. Aspergillus, Chrysosporium, Penicillium, Microsporum and Fusarium were the most frequent genera developed from baited soils.

This study assessed pollution levels, ecological and health risk, and spatial distribution of eight heavy metals in sediments of Big Giftun and Abu Minqar Islands, Red Sea, Egypt. Iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) had the highest contents in both island sediments, while cobalt (Co) in Big Giftun and cadmium (Cd) in Abu Mingar had the lowest values. The obtained PCA data exhibited positively significant loadings of Cd, Co, copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn) with 51.

Sand that comprises high purity silica grains, in large percent, is of the best naturally occurring grains that can be used as proppants during hydraulic fracturing processes. Proppants are used to increase formations' permeability; to increase reservoirs' productivity, or to reopen plays and utilize unconventional reservoirs. The potentiality of these grains to be used as frac proppants is determined according to certain physical, mechanical, petrographical and chemical evaluations that include particle size analysis, acid solubility, turbidity, bulk density, crush resistance and hardness, sphericity and roundness, mineral and chemical composition.

The current paper discusses the numerical simulation results of the NePCM melting process inside an annulus thermal storage system. The TES system consists of a wavy shell wall and a cylindrical tube equipped with three fins. The enthalpy-porosity method was utilized to address the transient behavior of the melting process, while the Galerkin FE technique was used to solve the system governing equations.
