The western Mediterranean and the northern Alexandria gas fields are planned to be a part from the national plan and expected to produce 900 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) in 2019. Raven gas field is one of those fields which GASCO (the Egyptian natural gas company) decided to procure, construct and operate a new gas pipeline to transfer rich gas from Raven gas field in north Alexandria to the western desert gas complex (WDGC) and Amreya Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) plant in Alexandria. The extracted gas will be transported through a new gas pipeline, hereunder named ‘’the project’’, with 70 km length and 30’’ inch diameter to WDGC and 5 km length 18” inch diameter to Amreya LPG. The proposed project will be funded from the World Bank(WB) by the excess of fund from the south-helwan project (due to a change in scope of south helwan project, there is loan saving of US$ 74.6 m which GASCO decided to employ it in the proposed project).

  • HIST 351 Introduction to Ancient Egypt
    HIST 351 Introduction to Ancient Egypt Credits: 3.0 Contact hours: 45 This is a syllabus based on a popular course in our Cairo program prior to the program’s suspension in mid-2013. In reopening our Cairo program, we are both developing new courses and updating successful courses from past semesters. This syllabus is meant to be representative of this course. A fully updated version with new content and materials will not be available until closer to the start of the term in which it will run. Aims and Objectives of the Course: Students should leave this course with a basic understanding of ancient Egyptian civilization, as well as what influence it still has on modern culture. The course also aims to make ancient Egyptian civilization appear less distant and strange to students. It includes extensive discussion of cultural relativism meant to engage the students in the idea any cultural practice, taken out of context, could seem peculiar, eccentric, or even grotesque. The course introduces the students to historiography and enables them to read ancient Egypt’s history with a critical eye. Course Description: This course surveys ancient Egyptian civilization from approximately 5000 BC, when Neolithic culture begins on the Nile, to 30 BC, when Egypt becomes part of the Roman Empire. Students will be introduced to the history, art and architecture, and religious beliefs of the ancient Egyptians, as well as all aspects of daily life in ancient Egyptian times. The class will also consider the influence of ancient Egypt in modern culture. There will be field trips to pyramid sites and to the Cairo Museum, TBA.

It is described how the concept of sound is presented through: a) the various scientific and non-scientific fields in which sound constitutes an object of study and research, b) the students’ personal formation of knowledge and c) the modes that can be represented in the material world. Such an approach allows us to define the structure elements used in the teaching of concepts and phenomena even before these become active teaching objects. This seems to be useful in lesson planning, in the training of pre-service and in- service science teachers, as well as in curricula design. Keywords: epistemic, cognitive, semiotic significations, sound 1. Introduction The theories and the methodologies adopted and constructed in the various fields of knowledge influence the signification of the concepts they deal with. It is acknowledged that the varied study of our world also constitutes the intent to make differential meanings. Physics and chemistry, as well as visual arts and philosophy, conceptualize the same entities ascribing different meanings to them.

This place an ever increasing need for urban development to accommodate such population growth in both residential complexes and work facilities. Since 1980th, rapid population growth and urbanization have become issues in big cities in developing countries like Greater Cairo. As a consequence of explosive growth, the living conditions of Greater Cairo deteriorate (Cairo, Giza, and Qalyubia).

Despite the actual desertification in Wadi El-Natrun Depression nitrated by tourism and overuse by nomads, 142 species were recorded. Sixty-one species were considered as new additions, unrecorded before in four main habitats: (1) croplands (irrigated field plots); (2) orchards; (3) wastelands (moist land and abandoned salinized field plots); and (4) lakes (salinized water bodies). The floristic analysis suggested a close floristic relationship between Wadi El-Natrun and other oases or depressions of the Western Desert of Egypt.
