This study reports the microplankton found occurring in the surface water of the Bitter Lake at monthly intervals from November 2008 until November 2009. A total of 130 taxa were identified, among which 67 taxa were of Bacillariophyceae, 15 Dinophyceae, 11 Chlorophyceae, 11 Cyanophyceae, 1 Euglenophyceae, 18 Tintinnidae, 4 Foraminiferidae, as well as 3 of Rotifera. Species diversity, numerical abundances and dynamics were analyzed for each taxon at three sites inside the Bitter Lake. At each of these sites Bacillariophyceae were predominant in the standing crop forming -1 67.2% of the total microplankton community with an average of 11,594 ind. L .

When he comes home in the evening, he may perhaps administer a good flogging to a child, if requested, or be may not trouble. In the morning he is often away from home before the others are awake, but generally the children hand him the slippers or the jug for ablutions.

  • Suez Canal Blockage: an Analysis of Legal Impact, Risks and Liabilities to the Global Supply Chain
    MATEC Web of Conferences 339, 01019 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/202133901019 ISTSML 2021 Suez Canal blockage: an analysis of legal impact, risks and liabilities to the global supply chain 1 1* Jade Man-yin Lee , and Eugene Yin-cheung Wong 1The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong, School of Decision Sciences, 6/F, Lee Quo Wei Academic Building, Hang Shin Link, Siu Lek Yuen, Shatin, Hong Kong Abstract. The global supply chain currently thrown into chaos due to the Suez Canal incident. On 23 March 2021, the Suez Canal, one of the most heavily used shipping routes, was blocked by vast container ship – the Ever Given. Affecting over 400 vessels scheduled to pass through the Canal in the East-West and West-East directions. Such vessels experienced a dilemma of the use of routes and schedules. Other victims included vessels that were scheduled to arrive at/pass through the Canal, shippers, consignees, ship operators, ship owners, and container terminals. About USD$15 to 17 billion has been held up. This paper aims to reveal the potential damage caused to parties involved and examine the liability of parties involved. Specifically, the impact and legal consequences of the obstruction such as how the scope of general average applies as well as the possible solutions to minimise damage are discussed, followed by future developments. These results suggested that maritime transport support global supply chain linkages and economic growth, any disruption could bring huge impact and costs on various stakeholders along the supply chain. On this basis, the world should learn a lesson from this incident and the need for thoroughness prevention measure should be considered.

Root, Chair Associate Professor Elspeth R. M. Dusinberre, University of Colorado Professor Sharon C. Herbert Associate Professor Ian S. Moyer Professor Janet E. Richards Professor Terry G. Wilfong © Henry Preater Colburn All rights reserved 2014 For my family: Allison and Dick, Sam and Gabe, and Abbie ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation was written under the auspices of the University of Michigan’s Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art and Archaeology (IPCAA), my academic home for the past seven years. I could not imagine writing it in any other intellectual setting. I am especially grateful to the members of my dissertation committee for their guidance, assistance, and enthusiasm throughout my graduate career. Since I first came to Michigan Margaret Root has been my mentor, advocate, and friend. Without her I could not have written this dissertation, or indeed anything worth reading. Beth Dusinberre, another friend and mentor, believed in my potential as a scholar well before any such belief was warranted. I am grateful to her for her unwavering support and advice. Ian Moyer put his broad historical and theoretical knowledge at my disposal, and he has helped me to understand the real potential of my work. Terry Wilfong answered innumerable questions about Egyptian religion and language, always with genuine interest and good humor. Janet Richards introduced me to Egyptian archaeology, both its study and its practice, and provided me with important opportunities for firsthand experience in Egypt.

  • Palestine; in Syria the Myrtle Is Called Rib: Ane), Peppermint (Na'na'), and Similar Odoriferous Plants
    22 THE ROUTE OF THE EXODUS. Palestine; in Syria the myrtle is called rib:_ane), peppermint (na'na'), and similar odoriferous plants. Flowers without any odour are not appreciated. The author of Canticles points to flowers of an odoriferous character, and calls them "th.11 plants," speaking of his spouse (Cant. iv, 14). After enumerating the nard, the karkom, the ~aneh, and kinnamon, he says "trees of lebhonah," or odours (v. 14). A flower on a shrub or small plant is b:_anun, blossoms of trees are zaher; but when they ornament themselves with a flower in the hair generally, it is called a §bukla, ·" nosegay." The flower-pots are very often built into the low inner wall of the terrace, looking into the home courtyard, or are placed along the outer wall, on an elevation above the terrace. The terraces and courts are open; it might be expected that they would be very dirty. But in quiet towns, where industries are far away from habitations, no soot or dust falls, and the houses are tolerably clean. People who have been busy outside leave their shoes and slippers at the entrance, thus mud is not easily carried in; women are more in than out of doors. A broom, milcnasa, or mi~aim§ba, is also kept for the cleanliness of the terrace and court, but is only used occasionally. The Hebrew broom was called mat'ate' (Isaiah xiv, 23). The privy, very poetically called "place of repose,'' mestara1.!:_, is away in a corner of the terrace, as in the case of Ehud (Judges iii, 24), or near the entrance gate, below the stairs.

  • Andrej DÁVID1 WILL the POLITICAL CRISIS IN
    Sea transport, Suez Canal, Suezmax ships, sea routes, closing of the canal, political crisis Andrej DÁVID 1 WILL THE POLITICAL CRISIS IN EGYPT THREATEN SEA TRANSPORT? The Suez Canal which was built due to the reduction of the transit distance between the North Atlantic and the Indian Ocean lies on one of the most important sea routes in the world. It has been rebuilt for several times just as ships have grown in size and capacity over the years. Suezmax ships are the maximum-sized tankers or container ships which can sail through the canal. Their deadweight is from 125 000 to 240 000 tons. Since its opening in 1869 it has been closed twice due to two war conflicts (the Suez Crisis and the Six-Day War). The closures influenced the direction of transport flows in sea transport and the size and capacity of ships. OHROZÍ POLITICKÁ KRÍZA V EGYPTE NÁMORNÚ PLAVBU? Suezský prieplav, ktorý bol postavený kvôli skráteniu prepravných vzdialeností medzi severným Atlantikom a Indickým oceánom leží na jednej z najdôležitejších prepravných trás sveta. Prieplav bol prestavaný nieko ľko krát, tak ako námorné lode zvä čšovali svoje parametre a prepravnú kapacitu v priebehu rokov. Ich hrubá nosnos ť je od 125 tis. do 240 tis. ton. Od svojho otvorenia v roku 1869 bol dvakrát uzavretý kvôli dvom vojenským konfliktom (Suezská kríza a Šes ťdňová vojna). Tieto uzavretia vplývali na zmenu smerovania prepravných prúdov v námornej doprave, ve ľkos ť a kapacitu námorných lodí. 1.
