“…TRMM data have widely been used to estimate various temporal ranges of rainfall for many dryland areas (e.g. El Bastawesy et al, 2008;Milewski et al, 2009;Abou El-Magd et al, 2010;Al Mazroui, 2011).…”

This paper aims to quantify the hydrological parameters for the flash flood event of 17th January 2010 in Sinai using multiple sets of remote sensing data and field work for the nongaged catchments (approximately 2100 sq km) of the wadis affecting Ras Sudr area, which is heavily occupied by numerous oil fields and related activities. The affected areas were visited, and several cross sections of the main active channels were surveyed to estimate the peak discharge rates. The Tropical Rainfall Monitoring Mission (TRMM) data have been used to estimate rainfall parameters for the catchments due to the absence of in situ data. The digital elevation model (DEM) of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) was used to extract the hydrographic data following standard procedures and techniques of the Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Both of the surveyed and extracted parameters for the active channels were integrated into GIS to estimate the runoff parameters using the open-channel flow equation of Manning's. The simulated hydrographs show that the total discharge exceeded 5.7 million cubic meters and the peak discharge rate was 70 cubic meters per second. The mitigation of extreme flash flood is possible by altering the natural flow dispersion over the alluvial fan, and conveying the resulting flows into one adjusted channel.

“…By virtue of its mission and ambition to address the challenges, the new biology education and the SDGs will remain on the global scientific agenda for at least the next two decades. Some of the emergingomics fields (El-Magd, Hermas, & Bastawesy, 2010), such as metagenomics (Alves et al, 2018) and pharmacomyrobiomy, directly report the relevance of the end points for the new biology education, ecosystem health and the SDGs (Wood et al, 2018), provide insights into the both its potentialities and current challenges. This article reviews the source of biology science and biology education from reputable journal, the purpose of this paper was to analyze the possible part of the new biology science and education in supporting the objectives of SDGs.…”

The transformation in education must be directed in accordance with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) program. This article aimed to discuss the potential support of New Biology in achieving the formulated SDGs. This literature review covered 31 articles which were published since 2010 to 2019. The keywords used to collect the data were new biology, future biology, biology education, biological science, and biology. The review results informed that New Biology can potentially enact five goals of SDGs, i.e. goal 2 (Zero Hunger), goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being), goal 4 (Quality Education), goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), and goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy). By considering the findings, it is suggested to promote New Biology approach in Indonesian educational system.

Flash floods are considered natural disasters that can cause casualties and demolishing of infrastructures. The flash flood takes place over Abu Rusheid in 29 November 2011. After one month from the falling of flood, ten flooding water samples were collected from the cavities in the mountain at Abu Rusheid area, South Eastern Desert, Egypt. The salinity ranges between 380 and 1460 ppm, while pH ranges between 7.1 and 8.1. Trioctyl amine (TOA) dissolved in kerosene has been chosen for removal both of uranium and thorium. Different parameters were carried out testing the following variables: different diluents, TOA concentrations, aqueous to organic phase ratio, shaking time, temperature, and different stripping agents. The factors studied were followed by application of the removal system to determine the uranium and thorium from flooding water samples. The uranium concentration in the studied area were ranged between 172 ppb and 1012 ppb. While, thorium was ranged between 98 ppb and 524 ppb. Meanwhile, the dissolution and leaching (%) of uranium and thorium in flood water samples after one month from the falling of flood in the studied area are ranging between 0.032-0.9 % and 0.016-0.36 %. After chemical treatment of the flood water was observed that, the remaining elements of uranium and thorium are very few. We recommend not to use those waters from flooding which contain a small concentration of uranium.
