Abstract	The Lebanese Restraining Bend (LRB) comprises the NNE-trending Mount Lebanon and the NE Anti-Lebanon ranges which are separated by the Bekaa Valley. Offshore, an east-dipping thrust fault system (the Mount-Lebanon Thrust, MLT) faces the coastal strip between Saida and Arqa. Historical earthquakes with casualties are documented along these active faults in the Eastern Mediterranean. We apply a seismic tomography method to P- and S-wave arrival times retrieved from the ISC seismological bulletins to determine the 3-D seismic velocity structure of the crust and uppermost mantle beneath this region. The seismic data set was generated by carefully selected events which are recorded by at least five stations and all unreliable arrivals have been excluded before the final tomographic inversion. We adopted an initial P-wave velocity model for the tomographic inversion, while the initial S-wave velocity model was computed using an Vp/Vs ratio of 1.725 derived from a wadati diagram. From the obtained P- and S-wave velocity models, we determined the Vp/Vs ratio for a better interpretation of the velocity anomalies. Lateral heterogeneities in the study area are clearly visible. Low velocity anomalies are revealed along the surface traces of the LRB and offshore along the MLT. Average to high Vp/Vs anomalies are clearly detected at lower crustal levels. Results of the checkerboard resolution test and the ray path coverage indicate that the velocity and Vp/Vs anomalies are reliable features. The present observations are compatible with many seismological and geological features detected beneath the Eastern Mediterranean.

Abstract	Roads are essential for the generation and/or updating of old maps and geographical information systems (GIS). This paper presents a new approach for modeling the centerlines and widths of road networks from very high-resolution (VHR) satellite imagery at 0.5 m resolution. The proposed approach includes four main steps: (1) density-oriented fuzzy c-means (DOFCM) algorithm has been applied to separate road and non-road pixels; (2) morphological operators have been applied to eliminate noises, fill holes and reduce inconsistencies along edges; (3) road centerlines have then been extracted using morphological skeletons and simplified using Douglas–Peucker algorithm; (4) the width of each road segment has been determined as the mean value of the obtained widths at each pixel along the centerline of that segment. Compared with manually digitized reference data, the results showed that the proposed approach has outperformed the most commonly used approaches, Definiens eCognition software and fully convolutional networks (FCNs), with higher correctness and lower root mean square error (RMSE).

Abstract	This paper presents a comprehensive experimental investigation concerning the effect of drag reducing polymers (DRP) on enhancing the throughput and reducing the pressure drop for a horizontal pipe carrying two-phase flow of air and water mixture. Moreover, the ability of these polymer entanglements to damp turbulence waves and changing the flow regime has been tested at various conditions, and a clear observation showed that the maximum drag reduction always occurs when the highly fluctuated waves were reduced effectively by DRP (and that, accordingly, phase transition (flow regime changed) appeared. This may also help in improving the separation process and enhancing the separator performance. The present experimental set-up has been constructed using a test section of 1.016-cm ID; an acrylic tube section was used to enable visual observations of the flow patterns. A new injection technique has been utilized and, with the use of different injection rates of DRP, the results have shown that the reduction in pressure drop occurred in all flow configurations. Furthermore, different empirical correlations have been developed which improve the ability to predict the pressure drop after the addition of DRP. The correlations showed low discrepancy for a wide range of water and air flow rates.

Abstract	Background: The present study presents our experience with computed tomography (CT)-guided stereotactic surgery in managing deep-seated brain lesions and provides a background in the expanding fields of morphological stereotactic neurosurgery. Methods: We conducted this retrospective cohort study on 80 patients managed at the Department of Neurosurgery, Zagazig University Hospitals, Zagazig, Egypt, between January 2019 to January 2021. We targeted patients with morphological stereotactic surgeries performed as the primary management modality of their treatment. Results: A total of 80 patients, with a mean age of 44.3 years, were included in the study. The stereotactic targets were supratentorial in 71 patients (88.75%), infratentorial in seven patients (8.75%), and both supraand infratentorial in two patients (2.5%). The lesions showed enhancements with IV contrast in 55 patients (68.75%). Stereotactic procedures were performed under local anesthesia in 64 patients and general anesthesia in 16 patients. Of the 80 stereotactic procedures, 52 were biopsies (65%). We observed a significant improvement in the postoperative Karnofsky performance score compared to the postoperative score (63.4 ± 19.8 vs. 56.7 ± 15.4, Conclusion: This study provided evidence that the stereotactic procedure is easy to perform, accurate in targeting the lesion, and spares patients from undergoing major surgical procedures. Stereotactic applications of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, deep-seated abscesses, encysted tumors, or medically refractory benign intracranial hypertension can improve the outcome even in medically high-risk patients.

Abstract	BACKGROUND: Nourishment plants during the field time is a must; to have healthy, high productive and self-propagating plants. The trendy nano-fertilizers came to the front in modernized agriculture seeking for minimizing the soil suffocation with other chemical fertilizers in the bulk size. Nano-fertilizers may represent a way out of shot as they are completely absorbed by plant due to their small size, also it magnifies the benefit to the plant due to its high surface area. Nano-fertilizers are introduced via different way of synthesis methods. In this work, three of new nanocomposites are prepared in nano form via Gamma irradiation from Cobalt 60 source at irradiation dose 5 KGy. These composites which can supply plants with P, Zn elements needs to be revised for their safety usage in agriculture. METHODOLOGY: Three compounds; Zinc oxide, phosphorous and the mixed Zinc–phosphorous elements were prepared in nano-composite forms coated with PVP as a shell and then characterized by HR-TEM, UV and FT-IR to emphasize their new sizes and shapes, then, they were examined for their cytotoxicity in three concentrations (0.5, 1 and 2%) on Vicia faba plants; after 3 h of direct roots treatment. Cytotoxicity test concerned the mitotic index, phase index, abnormal mitosis and the type of the aberrations at each phase. RESULTS: The three tested NPs exerted mito-accelerating effect on root meristematic cells. However, concentration‐dependent genotoxicity was also an evident. CONCLUSION: The three examined nano-composites may recommend to be used in the lowest examined concentrations to minimize its harm effect on the plant cell and keep their benefits to the environment. It also recommended to count the Zn/P mix NPs over ZN or P separately as it induces an intermediating cytogenetic effect on mitosis apparatus of Vicia faba plant.

Abstract	The most important information required to successfully issue a flood warning is the quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPFs). This is important to run subsequent rainfall-runoff simulations. A rainfall-runoff simulation derives its accuracy mainly from the accuracy of the input QPFs. The dynamically based global numerical weather prediction models (NWPMs) are strong candidate sources of QPFs. A main problem is the real-time selection of which NWPM should be used to provide the QPFs for flood warning simulations. This paper develops an automated technique to solve this problem. The technique performs real-time comparisons with measured rainfall fields using a novel 'tolerant' hydrologic approach. The 'tolerant' approach performs the comparison on the basin scale and allows for timing shifts in the forecasts. This is because QPFs can be good but only a few hours early or late. Two events are used for illustration, and the proposed real-time application in flood warning is presented. The developed technique, employing the tolerant approach, could eliminate the effects of the timing shifts and, accordingly, succeeded to select the QPFs to be used. A Python package was developed for automation. The developed technique is expected to also be useful for offline assessments of historical performances of NWPMs.

Abstract	Whereas there has been ample research on presupposition, and different taxonomies have been put forward on the various types of presupposition, presupposition triggers, on the difference between entailment and presupposition, and on the dichotomy semantic presupposition/pragmatic presupposition, the interrelationship between presupposition and intertextuality has not received due attention. In some philosophical and linguistic accounts, the presupposition is preserved as a meaning-based notion and thereby accounted for in non -intertextual way where only propositions that are accepted and taken for granted by speaker/ writer count. The present study argues for an intertextual account of presupposition, where the proposition is not the property of the speaker/writer per se; rather, the presupposed proposition is interpreted in terms of intertextual relations with previous texts. The aim of the present article was to find; changed to, what kind of knowledge text producers expect their audience to have to be able to process new texts; what kind of knowledge text producers presuppose in the creation of new texts; the conceptual status of presupposition when new information is conveyed; and how presuppositions obtain in the case of intertextuality. This has been accomplished by drawing on both notions: Presupposition and intertextuality to argue whereas the two notions have been kept separate in non-intertextual accounts on presupposed propositions, both notions work on the same level of drawing on the text, and therefore to argue for coining a new term textual presupposition.

Abstract	Background: Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy gained interest among scientists following the discovery of its therapeutic potential. However, their clinical use has been hindered due to their immunogenicity and tumorigenicity. Relatively recently, it has been unveiled that the mechanism by which MSC promote healing is by secreting exosomes. This raised the interest in developing cell-free therapy, avoiding the obstacles that deterred the translation of MSC therapy into clinical practice. Review: This comprehensive narrative review summarises the current understanding of exosome biogenesis and content. Moreover, the existing research on exosome use in bone tissue engineering is discussed. Conclusions: Exosome-based therapy may provide excellent potential in the field of bone tissue engineering and craniofacial reconstructive surgery. Further investigation is required before the technology can be translated into clinical practice.
