Layered microgranite-pegmatite complexes of the Kuala Lumpur Granite, Peninsular Malaysia N G TRAM FAT!' Institute of Advanced Studies University of Malaya 50603 Kuala Lumpur Abstract: The Kuala Lumpur Granite is cut by late magmatic microgranite-pegmatite complexes that occur as gently to moderately dipping and weakly curved composite sill-like bodies. They display prominent grain size layering defined by alternating layers of pegmatite and microgranite. Mineral zoning is conspicuous in the pegmatites. The microgranites exhibit a fine scale, 5 to 100 mm thick, internal rhythmic compositional layering. The microgranite-pegmatite complexes are probably formed by multiple injection of volatile-rich granitic magma, each injection was initially homogeneous and subsequently segregated into pegmatite and microgranite. The rhythmic layering originated from in-situ local fractionation of granitic magma and the variation of volatile pressures during crystallization has probably played an important role.

  • Assessment Impact of the Damietta Harbour (Egypt) and Its Deep Navigation Channel on Adjacent Shorelines
    Journal of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (2020) 20(4): 265-281 © 2020 APRH ISSN 1646-8872 DOI 10.5894/rgci-n338 url: https://www.aprh.pt/rgci/rgci-n338.html ASSESSMENT IMPACT OF THE DAMIETTA HARBOUR (EGYPT) AND ITS DEEP NAVIGATION CHANNEL ON ADJACENT SHORELINES Mohsen M. Ezzeldin1, Osami S. Rageh2, Mahmoud E. Saad3 @ ABSTRACT: Deep navigation channels have a great impact on adjacent beaches and crucial economic effects because of periodic dredging operations. The navigation channel of the Damietta harbour is considered a clear example of the sedimentation problem and deeply affects the Northeastern shoreline of the Nile Delta in Egypt. The aim of the present study is to monitor shoreline using remote sensing techniques to evaluate the effect of Damietta harbour and its navigation channel on the shoreline for the last 45 years. Also, the selected period was divided into two periods to illustrate the effect of man-made interventions on the shoreline. Shorelines were extracted from satellite images and then the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) was used to estimate accurate rates of shoreline changes and predict future shorelines evolution of 2030, 2040, 2050 and 2060. The Damietta harbour created an accretion area in the western side with an average rate of 2.13 m year-1. On the contrary, the shoreline in the eastern side of the harbour retreated by 92 m on average over the last 45 years. So, it is considered one of the main hazard areas along the Northeastern shoreline of the Nile Delta that needs a sustainable solution. Moreover, a detached breakwaters system is predicted to provide shore stabilization at the eastern side as the implemented one at Ras El-Bar beach.

  • Towards Creating New Sustainable Cities in Egypt- Critical Perspective for Planning New Cities
    Towards Creating New Sustainable Cities in Egypt- Critical Perspective for Planning New Cities Speaker: Ellahham, Nisreen 1 Abstract: The objective of this paper is to form a future vision of Egyptian sustainable cities that integrates theories with international experiences. The paper highlights the pressing need to establish new areas for development in the Egyptian desert—through geo-economic restructuring of Egypt—that would contribute to reduction of population density in existing cities through attracting it from the narrow congested valley to new urban communities. This helps destabilize the existing urban density, which has become already experiencing severe environmental degradation. The paper identifies the most important theories of sustainable cities and sets their establishment standards and planning criteria. It analyzes the pros and cons of the Egyptian experience in building new cities in the desert and the major pertinent impediments. The ultimate objective is to sketch strategic orientation, based on results reached and lessons learned, for the purpose of establishing new sustainable urban communities in the Egyptian desert . Egypt - desert - sustainable – cities Concept of sustainable cities The concept of "sustainable cities" emerged concurrently with the adoption of sustainable development concept and the increasing concern about impacts of development on the physical, social and cultural environment. Related to the main philosophy of Sustainable development, the sustainable cities concept called for identifying a new type of cities that would achieve economic growth through an economic base that does not drain or pollute natural resources, adopt products recycling or restoring the invested energy. Also, sustainable cities achieve social equity for their residences in a manner that strengths the concepts of democracy, participatory decision making, and self reliance.

  • Confronting Sea Level Rise on Egypt’S Nile Delta Coast
    Stories from the field Confronting sea level rise on Egypt’s Nile Delta coast The fertility of Egypt’s Nile Delta is of historic significance. Intensive agriculture in the region dates back 5,000 to 6,000 years. Today, nearly half of Egypt’s population lives in the Delta, and the region accounts for some 40% of the country’s agricultural production. In its 2007 assessment, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change declared the Nile Delta one of three sites on earth that are most vulnerable to sea level rise. The Panel projected a global By the average sea level increase of 18 to 59 cm by 2100. Several recent assessments suggest this figure numbers could be much higher. The Delta’s burgeoning population urgently needs to understand the changes under way and make informed choices about managing growth to secure their future against the million* people 19.4 live in the Coastal effects of rising seas. Nile Delta area percent of Egyptian To guide these decisions, a research team linking the Coastal Research Institute of Egypt’s National 40 agricultural Water Research Center, Alexandria University’s Institute of Graduate Studies and Research, and the products come from the Delta Center for Development Services is bringing more precision to where and how Delta communities percent of the are most vulnerable, and assessing cost-effective options to help them prepare.

Nowadays, urban life style has raised the risk of anxiety and mood disorders by 21% and 39% respectively. This paper aims at investigating the relationship between several attributes of the urban built environment with mental health and raising the issue of how mental health can be improved through urban design. Basically, mental health depends on human inner feelings and emotions reacting from surrounding environments. The study is based on analysing the individual experience of people and their lifestyle in several neighbourhoods of Damietta City, Egypt by using Hamilton Depression Scale as an instrument to evaluate the severity of depressive symptoms. The attributes of the built environment in those neighbourhoods are investigated using geographic information systems (GIS), on a sample of 445 individuals distributed in four different city areas.
