The background radiation levels, human exposure, dose rates, and potential radiation effects on the environment are all studied. The field geological investigation of the different rock units, with orientations to their mode of occurrence, common relationships, petrographic study and regional structure indicated that the investigated area is covered by Late Proterozoic igneous and metamorphic rocks. These basement rocks are included metavolcanics, metagabbros , granodiorites , younger gabbros, monzogranites, syenogranites, alkaline granites and alkaline syenites. The studied rock types have low uranium and thorium contents. The yearly effective dose, external absorbed dose rate in both indoor and outdoor environments, internal absorbed dose rate in both indoor and outdoor environments, and radium equivalent activity are all estimated. The investigation indicates that all the environmental impacts dose rates values in the studied rocks are lower than the public permissible values in these rocks and they are within the safety range for the public and workers. So, these rocks are safe for the building materials and can be used as ornamental stones.","PeriodicalId":21655,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal for Damietta Faculty of Science","volume":"47 2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81175570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So, several attempts have been used to predict HCC but still need more. In this regard, the predicting abilities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities as well as total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were tested for estimating chronic hepatitis C (CHC)-mediated HCC. Patients and methods Blood samples from 79 patients (23 CHC and 56 HCC) were withdrawn to estimate these antioxidants and the routine analysis markers. Beside 15 healthy volunteers were included Results The medians of SOD activity and TAC values were significantly elevated in sera of HCC patients with positive correlation (P<0.0001, r=0.334) when compared with those of either CHC or healthy controls (P<0.0001). On contrary, the median of CAT activity was significantly lowered (P<0.0001) with negative correlation with SOD activity (r=-0.146, P<0.04). Stepwise logistic regression analysis of the last three markers produced a score; named \"Antioxidants-diagnostic\" which increased the AUCs values and their diagnostic activities (P<0.0001). By combining the three marker values with that of Age-platelet index (API) produced a score named \"Antioxidants-API\". Also, by combining them with that of the routine analysis values produced a score named “AAI-antioxidants”. In each case the AUCs values were enhanced when compared with those of its native antioxidants (P<0.0001). Conclusion The assessment of these antioxidant activities and their combination in the last three scores can enhance their activities to more precisely predict HCC patients among CHC ones and control individuals.","PeriodicalId":21655,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal for Damietta Faculty of Science","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81699417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to assess the sprawl and growth dynamics between 2010 and 2020 in Al-Baydah City, Libya using remote sensing and GIS techniques. Three Landsat TM, ETM+, and OLI images dated 2010, 2015, and 2020 were used to generate urban maps of the research area. The chi-square test and urban expansion intensity index (UEI) were used to assess urban growth patterns in the study zone. The results of the study confirmed that urban growth in the city has increased from 17.7 km2 in 2010 to 35.9 km2 in 2020, indicating that the city's expanding intensity index has risen as well. The results displayed that Al-Baydah city has unbalanced urban growth and its urban development had a high freedom degree during the period from 2010 to 2020.","PeriodicalId":21655,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal for Damietta Faculty of Science","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87788221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
