Application of the design strategy that is supported by lateral thinking techniques in product design

Lateral thinking methods have a key role in developing the designer's ability to deal with challenges and life situations in a more creative way. It gives him the power to produce original and unique ideas. Creativity is the process that lies behind every progress reached by human groups. It is also one of those processes that separate man from the rest of the creatures within the limits of what we know, as the existence of man is linked to that ability. The relationship between creativity and development is strong. The burden of community development and progress falls on the creators, bearing many difficulties and hardships. The industrial designer is responsible for the task of innovation, design and product development, with the help of tools, methods and methods of design (drawing, presentation and modeling techniques), which makes him constantly looking to develop his tools, and activate and enrich his creative abilities, which gives importance to scientific support for the industrial designer, by adding New methods that would support creativity in the industrial design process, which the industrial designer needs when joining the labor market in productive institutions, which highlights the importance of the issue of lateral thinking in the field of industrial design, so the research deals with how to take advantage of lateral thinking methods in the design process by applying a strategy The new design supported by these methods is in the process of designing a new product that depends on technology and helps in opening new and unfamiliar markets, then the result will be presented to clarify the feasibility of the new strategy in achieving creativity in the design and development of ideas and solutions that both the industrial designer and the industrial organization aspire to. This is in an effort to generalize and consolidate the concept and practice of lateral thinking among students and practitioners of industrial design to reach creative designs

EFFECT OF COMPOST, SALICYLIC AND ASCORBIC ACIDS TREATMENTS ON CORM PRODUCTION AND CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF GLADIOLUS GRANDIFLORUS CV. WHITE PROSPERITY

A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of plant compost (0, 7.5, 10.0 and 12.5 ton/fed) and salicylic and/or ascorbic acids (each at 0, 100 or 200 ppm) on corm production and chemical constituents of Gladiolus grandiflorus cv. White Prosperity. The obtained results indicated that corm diameter, number of cormels/plant, dry weight of corm and cormels, as well as, chemical constituents including chlorophyll a, b, carotenoids and percentages of N, P and K in the corms were gradually increased by increasing the level of compost. Significant differences were detected among four usedtreatments. So, the high level of compost resulted the highest values. All six treatments of salicylic acid and/or ascorbic acid significantly increased corm and cormels production and their content of chemical constituents in comparison of the control plants. The treatments of salicylic acid (100 ppm) plus ascorbic acid (100 ppm) followed by ascorbic acid (200 ppm), then salicylic acid (200 ppm) were more effective than other treatments for corm and cormels production, as wellas, the percentage of nitrogen and potassium without significant differences were detected between the first and second treatments in most cases. While the treatments of salicylic plus ascorbic acids, each at 100 ppm followed by salicylic acid at 200 ppm were more effective for the pigments content (mg/g f.w.) and phosphorus percentage without significant differences between them. The interaction between compost, salicylic acid and/or ascorbic acid was significant for all previous characters, except K %. The highest values of corm and cormels production were achieved by 12.5 ton/fedcompost treatment in combination with salicylic acid (100 ppm) + ascorbic acid (100 ppm) or ascorbic acid (200 ppm), while the interaction treatments of compost (12.5 ton/fed) × salicylic plus ascorbic acids, each at 100 ppm or compost (12.5 ton/fed) × salicylic acid at 200 ppm recorded the highest contents of pigments and elements of N and P

EFFECT OF COMPOST, MINERAL NPK, EFFECTIVE MICROORGANISMS AND SOME VITAMIN TREATMENTS ON GROWTH, FRUIT YIELD AND ESSENTIAL OIL CONTENT OF CORIANDER (CORIANDRUM SATIVUM, L.) PLANTS

Two field experiments were carried out during 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 seasons at the Experimental Farm, Fac. Agric., Minia Univ. to investigate the effect of compost (0, 5, 7.5 and 10 ton/fed), mineral NPK, effective microorganisms (E.M.), vit. E, vit. B1, E.M. + vit. E. and E.M. + vit. B1 on the growth and productivity (fruits and essential oil) of coriander plants. The obtained data revealed that vegetative growth characters (plant height, stem diameter and herb dry weight/plant), yield components (number of umbels/plant, fruit yield/plant and /fed) and all studied oil production (oil %, oil yield/plant and /fed) were significantly increased due to the application of all levels of compost over those of control treatments. The maximum values were recorded at the high level of compost (10 ton/fed). Vegetative growth characters, fruit yield and essential oil productivity parameters were significantly augmented as a result of using the different six treatments. The most effective treatments in this concern were mineral NPK (full dose) followed by E.M. + vit. E without significant difference between such superior treatments.  While, E.M. plus either vit. E or vit. B1 gave the highest essential oil %. Moreover, E.M. + vit. E followed by NPK (full dose) recorded the highest essential oil yield/plant and /fed. It could be recommended to supply Coriandrum sativum plants with compost at 10 ton/fed in combination with E.M. + vit. E. to alternative to compost (10 ton/fed) with mineral NPK (full dose) to ensure the safety, not only for human but also for the environment in which we live

EFFECT OF COMPOST AND SOME BIOSTIMULANT TREATMENTS ON GUAR PLANTS. A-VEGETATIVE GROWTH AND SEED YIELD

This experiment was conducted at Abo Qurkas district, Minia Governorate during the two successive seasons of 2014 and 2015 to study the effect of compost and biostimulant treatments on growth and yield of guar plants. The data indicated that the application of compost (2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 ton/fed) significantly increased plant height, number of branches/plant, leaf area, fresh and dry weights of shoot/plant and per fed, root system traits, number of pods/plant, seed yield/plant and /fed comparing with control. The plants treated with Vit. E and plant extracts (garlic, moringa, aloe and green tea) each at two concentrations showed significant increases in all investigated parameters, in both seasons, as compared with the control. Among the ten treatments either garlic extract (300 ppm) or green tea extract at (150 ppm) gave the best results in this concern. The interaction was significant and the highest values in all measurements were obtained with compost (5 ton/fed) plus garlic extract (300 ppm) or green tea (150 ppm)

This investigation was conducted to investigate the response of Moringa oleifera to compost fertilization at four levels (0, 5, 10 and 15 ton/fed) and bio. and/or mineral NPK treatments [(control, 100% NPK, 75% NPK + phosphorein + Minia Azotein, 50% NPK + phosphorein + Minia Azotein and phosphorein + Minia Azotein (Bio)] on vegetative growth traits, yield and pigments. The obtained results indicate that, plant height, stem diameter, number of branches, number of pods/plant, number of seeds/pod and seed yield/plant, as well as, pigments were gradually increased by increasing the levels of compost fertilizer. All bio. and/or mineral NPK fertilization treatments significantly increased all the previous parameters. Bio. + 75% NPK dose followed by mineral NPK (full dose) treatments were more effective in this concern. The highest values for vegetative growth traits, yield and yield components and pigments were obtained due to compost at 15 ton/fed in combination with bio. + 75% NPK dose

EFFECT OF PLANT DENSITY AND SOME VITAMINS, AS WELL AS, ACTIVE YEAST ON SWEET BASIL (OCIMUM BASILICUM) PLANT. A- VEGETATIVE GROWTH CHARACTERS

This investigation was conducted to investigate the effect of plant density (145, 105, 80 and 65 plants/14.5 m2) and some vitamins (vit. B1, vit. C, vit. E) and active yeast on vegetative growth traits of Ocimum basilicum plants. Results showed that decreasing plant density led to increase number of branches/plant/cut, leaf area/plant/cut, herb fresh and dry weights/plant/cut and yield of herb (fresh and dry) per plant per season, while, plant height was decreased. Moreover, the herb fresh and dry weights/fed were increased with the highest density (145 plants/14.5 m2). All used treatments of vitamins and active yeast significantly increased all previous characters of vegetative growth. Active yeast followed by collection of vitamins (vit. B1 + vit. C + vit. E) resulted in the highest values in this concern. All vegetative growth characters per plant were the most effective treatments on the lowest plant density × active yeast or vit. B1 + vit. C + vit. E while, the highest values per fed were obtained with higher density in combination with active yeast or vit. B1 + vit. C + vit. E
