The Mahmoudia Canal is the main source of municipal and industrial water supply for Alexandria (the second largest city in Egypt) and many other towns and villages.In recent years, considerable water quality degradation has been observed in the Mahmoudia Canal.This problem has attracted increasing attention from both the public and the Egyptian gov
The article examines the construction of “Big Data” in media discourse.Rather than asking what Big Data really is or is not, it deals with the discursive work that goes into making Big Data a socially relevant phenomenon and problem in the first place.It starts from the idea that in modern societies the public understanding of technology is lar
We consider a degenerate parabolic equation with logistic periodic sources.First, we establish the existence of nontrivial nonnegative periodic solutions by monotonicity method.Then by using Moser iterative technique Brake Wire and the method of contradiction, we establish the boundedness estimate of nonnegative periodic solutions, by which we show
In this paper, the flexural performance of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars reinforced concrete (RC) beams after conditioning in a simulated seawater wet-dry cycling environment for 6, 9 and 12 months is experimentally investigated.Two types of FRP bars, i.e.basalt FRP (BFRP) bars and steel-FRP composite bars (SFCBs), are Benches adopted.Steel b
Abstract Background Many studies have described barriers to gender-affirming surgery (GAS) in Canada; however, few have explored why these barriers persist.To address this knowledge gap, we sought to describe documents related to public health insurance (Medicare) for GAS to identify the types of procedures covered, variations in coverage across pr
