    In this paper, an efficient iterative method of arbitrary integer order of >=2 will be established for the solution of differenced hyperbolic convergent Kepler's equation. The method is of dynamic nature in the sense that, on going from one iterative scheme to the subsequent one, only additional instruction is needed. Moreover, which is the most important, the method does not need any priori knowledge of the initial guess. Aproperty which avoids the critical situations between divergent to very slow convergent solutios, that may exist in other numberical methods which depend on initial guess. Computeational package for digital implementation of the method is given

    This research is designed to identify the scope of positive discipline implementation as a classroom management approach in Groupe Scholaire Oasis (an international School in Cairo City) through investigating PD's impact on students’ well-being, and academic achievement. Researchers used a quantitative method through questionnaires applied on samples of students from two different age groups. Data analysis indicated that Positive Discipline approach as a Classroom Management Approach has a significant impact on students’ well-being and academic achievement after six years of implementation. This significant impact is on students of different grades (3- 5 age group and 6 – 9 age group). On the other hand, PD’s impact on students’ well-being and academic achievement differ according to age. The results showed that 3- 5 grades group was superior to the 3 – 6 grades group with regard to: PD Seven Abilities, Student: Well-Being, and Approach to Learning (ATL) Skills

    Biometric lock is a lock that uses fingerprint to grant genuine user an access to a building, offices, and laboratory. The purpose of this project is to solve the major problems faced by the conventional lock or electronic combination lock, by adding electronic technology as well as biological technology together, user is the key to the lock. Users do not have to memorize combination as it is in the electronic combination lock, or carry the key along all the time. However with this device users simply need to place their finger on the fingerprint module and the device itself will determine whether to give or deny the access. This study also has other method which is password by using keypad. This study divided into three parts, which are hardware design, software design, and prototype design. The hardware design includes the electronics circuits used to enrol, identify, and delete fingerprint to the fingerprint module, LCD that gives command to the user. Software design includes the development of the source code that enables the Arduino UNO to control and interface with all hardware. The operation of the hardware, software and prototype design parts have been tested and verified individually and in combination. It simply performs three functions which are addition, verification, and deletion

    Application of 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan for the analysis of propafenone and diltiazem hydrochlorides using kinetic spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric methods

    Get PDF
    Several simple, sensitive, accurate and inexpensive spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric methods were developed for the determination of propafenone HCl and diltiazem HCl using 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD-Cl) accompanied with kinetic study, either in pure form or in pharmaceutical preparations. In this work, the cited drugs react with (NBD-Cl) in presence of borate buffer of pH = 7.6 at a fixed time of 30 minutes on thermostated water bath at (75-80 °C). The absorbance was measured using spectrophotometric technique at 489 and 481 nm for propafenone HCl and diltiazem HCl, respectively, or by using spectrofluorimetric technique after dilution at the specific wavelength of excitation and emission.The calibration curves were linear in the range of 4-44, 16-96 µg/mL when using spectrophotometric method, and 0.4-3.6, 1.6-8.8 µg/mL when spectrofluorimetric method was applied for propafenone HCl and diltiazem HCl, respectively. The limit of quantitation and the limit of detection were also calculated. The methods were applied successfully to commercial dosage form and can be further applied for their determination on a large scale in quality control laboratories. The obtained results statistically agreed with those obtained by reference methods. The determination of the studied drugs by the fixed concentration and rate constant methods is feasible with the calibration equations obtained, but the fixed time method proves to be more applicable

    Caracterización de endemismos mediterráneos en la flora egipcia

    The Mediterranean Basin is the world’s second richest hotspot, and one of the most important locations on the planet for endemic taxa. However, there is no available up-to-date list of Mediterranean endemics. Available data are frequently insufficient or outdated. Therefore, this study aimed at delimiting the Mediterranean floristic region in Egypt, screening its Mediterranean endemics, and determining their habitats, life forms, flowering periods, dispersal types and phyto-geographical distribution. From a list of 275 Mediterranean endemic taxa in Egypt compiled from literature, this study reduced it to 57 taxa (including species, subspecies and varieties; 20.7%) belonging to 46 genera and 22 families. Fifteen major habitats harbored Mediterranean endemics in Egypt, with coastal dunes (17 taxa = 29.8%) and non-saline depressions (16 taxa = 28.1%) being the most represented. Moreover, the Mareotis (west) subsector was the richest (46 taxa = 80.7%). The largest number of taxa was recorded in North African sub-region (52 taxa = 91.2%), followed by Eastern (levant) sub-region (36 taxa = 63.2%). Therophytes were the most recorded life form, while ballochory was the most represented dispersal type. In conclusion, it is crucial to shed the light on Mediterranean endemics and provide an up-to-date documented database to help future management plan that support their conservation and sustainable use.La cuenca Mediterránea es el segundo hotspot más rico del mundo y uno de los lugares más importantes del planeta en taxones endémicos. Sin embargo, no existe una lista actualizada de taxones endémicos mediterráneos. Los datos disponibles son frecuentemente insuficientes o están desactualizados. Por tanto, nuestro objetivo fue delimitar la región florística mediterránea en Egipto, seleccionar sus plantas endémicas mediterráneas y determinar sus hábitats, formas de vida, periodos de floración, tipos de dispersión y distribución fitogeográfica. Partiendo de una lista preliminar de 275 taxones endémicos del Mediterráneo presentes en Egipto recopilada de la bibliografía, este estudio redujo ese número a 57 taxones (incluyendo especies, subespecies y variedades; 20.7%) pertenecientes a 46 géneros y 22 familias. Las plantas endémicas mediterráneas de Egipto viven en quince hábitats principales, siendo los más representativos las dunas costeras (17 taxones = 29.8%) y las depresiones no salinas (16 taxones = 28.1%). El subsector Mareotis (al oeste) fue el más rico (46 taxones = 80.7%), mientras que el mayor número de taxones se registró en la subregión del norte de África (52 taxones = 91.2%), seguida de la subregión del este (levante) (36 taxones = 63.2%). Los terófitos fueron la forma vital más registrada y la balocoria el tipo de dispersión más común. En conclusión, es crucial arrojar luz sobre las plantas endémicas del Mediterráneo y proporcionar una base de datos documentada y actualizada que ayude a planificar una gestión futura que promueva su conservación y uso sostenible
