    Abstract Water has become a challenging resource that many countries worldwide are concerned with. Thus, water is often linked with health, society development, national income and even international geo-politics. Sometimes, water resources are unavailable, but successful management involves developing approaches and projects to assure water supply. However, there are some countries with available water resources, but unsatisfactory management, and thus complain about water supply becoming a national problem. This situation is prevalent in Lebanon, a country characterized by abundant water resources whether on the surface or sub-surface. It is a paradox that there is still imbalance in water supply/demand in Lebanon, and water resources are now under stress due to chaotic use. This has been exacerbated by the oscillating climatic conditions, increased population and improper management. Therefore, people receive less than one-third of their water needs, and most water supplied is of poor quality. The current status shows a descending trend. Undoubtedly, if the water sector in Lebanon continues this way, we should anticipate unfavourable (and may be severe) consequences. Many studies have been conducted on water and related disciplines in Lebanon; however, all of them focus on specific themes and sometimes defined regions. Nevertheless, the occurred changes on the influencers (natural and man-made) have not been considered. This book is the first of its type for Lebanon, and it shows all aspects of water resources with updated measurements and findings obtained by adopting new techniques. It diagnoses in-depth the major elements of water flow/storage mechanism that have never been covered in such a comprehensive manner before. Also, this book introduces and analyses the existing challenges and proposes solutions. It represents a comprehensive investigation of the water resources in Lebanon.

    Abstract An enormous number of bacteria live in almost every environment; from deep oceans to below the surface of the earth or in our gastrointestinal tract. Although biofabrication is growing and maturing very quickly, the involvement of bacteria in this process has not been developed at a similar pace. From the development of a new generation of biomaterials to green bioremediation for the removal of hazardous environmental pollutants or to develop innovative food products in a recent trend, researchers have used cutting-edge biofabrication techniques to reveal the great potential of 3D structured bacterial constructs. These 3D bacterial workhouses may fundamentally change our approach toward biomaterials.

    Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting over 3% of those over 65. It's caused by reduced dopaminergic neurons and Lewy bodies, leading to motor and non-motor symptoms. The relationship between COMT gene polymorphisms and PD is complex and not fully elucidated. Some studies have reported associations between certain COMT gene variants and PD risk, while others have not found significant associations. This study investigates how COMT gene variations impact cortical thickness changes in PD patients over time, aiming to link genetic factors, especially COMT gene variations, with PD progression. This study analyzed data from 44 PD patients with complete 4-year imaging follow-up from the Parkinson Progression Marker Initiative (PPMI) database. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were acquired using consistent methods across 9 different MRI scanners. COMT single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were assessed based on whole genome sequencing data. Longitudinal image analysis was conducted using FreeSurfer's processing pipeline. Linear mixed-effect models were employed to examine the interaction effect of genetic variations and time on cortical thickness, while controlling for covariates and subject-specific variations. The rs165599 SNP stands out as a potential contributor to alterations in cortical thickness, showing a significant reduction in overall mean cortical thickness in both hemispheres in homozygotes (Left: P = 0.023, Right: P = 0.028). The supramarginal, precentral, and superior frontal regions demonstrated significant bilateral alterations linked to rs165599. Our findings suggest that the rs165599 variant leads to earlier manifestation of cortical thinning during the course of the disease. However, it does not result in more severe cortical thinning outcomes over time. There is a need for larger cohorts and control groups to validate these findings and consider genetic variant interactions and clinical features to elucidate the specific mechanisms underlying COMT-related neurodegenerative processes in PD.
