E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In the present study, a checklist of new records of the family Chalcididae of Egypt is presented based on a total of 180 specimens collected from 24 different Egyptian localities between June 2011 and October 2016, mostly by sweeping and Malaise traps. Nineteen species as well as the subfamily Epitraninae and the genera Bucekia Steffan, Epitranus Walker, Proconura Dodd, and Tanycoryphus Cameron, are newly recorded from Egypt. A single species previously placed in the genus Hockeria is transferred to Euchalcis Dufour as E. rufula (Nikol’skaya, 1960) comb. nov. Key words: Parasitic wasps, Chalcidinae, Dirhininae, Epitraninae, Haltichellinae, new records, new combination Introduction The Chalcididae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) is a medium-sized family represented by more than 1500 described species in 93 genera (Aguiar et al. 2013; Noyes 2017; Abul-Sood et al. 2018). A large number of described species are classified in the genus Brachymeria Westwood (about 21%), followed by Conura Spinola (20.3%) (Noyes 2017).

My love for photography has been growing for decades, building up a complete self-expression. My photographs express how I perceive the world around me, how I see it through my own eyes, and how I wish to inspire my fellow human beings to open the door and dream freely.. Despite the praise that I always receive, I do not consider myself a photographer ... rather a dreamer undergoing an amazingly beautiful path.

    Geology, Geochemistry and Radioactivity of Granitic and Volcanic Rocks at Hadarba Area, South Eastern Desert, Egypt

    International Research Journal of Geology and Mining (IRJGM) (2276-6618) Vol. 6(2) pp. 038 - 052, June, 2016 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14303/irjgm.2016.106 Available online http://www.interesjournals.org/irjgm Copyright©2016 International Research Journals Full Length Research Paper Geology, Geochemistry and Radioactivity of Granitic and Volcanic Rocks at Hadarba Area, South Eastern Desert, Egypt Hassan A. A. Shahin*, Masoud S. Masoud and Moustafa M. Bayoumi Nuclear Materials Authority, P. O. Box 530, El-Maadi, Cairo, Egypt Corresponding author email address: [email protected] ABSTRACT The present work deals with geology, geochemistry, radioactivity and tectonic environment of the granitic and volcanic rocks at Hadarba area, South Eastern Desert of Egypt. The granitic rocks comprise tonalite-granodiorite and monzogranite, while volcanic rocks include rhyolite, rhyodacite anddacite. These rocks are characterized by high concentrations of SiO2, Na2O, Fe2O3, K2O, Zr, Nb and Y but low in MgO, CaO, Cr, Ni, Sr, Ga and V. Field studies indicate that Dokhan volcanics extrude both tonalite-granodiorite and monzogranite with sharp contact forming a thick successive sequence of laminated acid lava flows, crystal lapilli tuffs and agglomerates. They range in composition from rhyolite, rhyodacite to dacite. Shear zone comprise lines–arranged intrusions trending NE-SW direction were recorded north Gabal Hadarba and extends for about 2.3 km in length with a width reaches up to 10 meter. These lines–arranged intrusions include quartz vein, microgranite and basic dykes. These shear zones cut through monzogranite. Petrochemical studies and tectonic discrimination diagrams for the monzogranite reveal that it is classified as granite developed in the within-plate tectonic environment, while Dokhan volcanics are classified as rhyolite and dacite developed in the immature island arcs and active continental margin environments.Field radiometric measurements of these granitic and volcanic rocks reveal low uranium and thorium contents.

Bulletin of the National Research Centre (2019) 43:68 Bulletin of the National https://doi.org/10.1186/s42269-019-0112-z Research Centre RESEARCH Open Access Production and marketing problems facing olive farmers in North Sinai Governorate, Egypt Tamer Gamal Ibrahim Mansour1* , Mohamed Abo El Azayem1, Nagwa El Agroudy1 and Salah Said Abd El-Ghani1,2 Abstract Background: Although North Sinai Governorate has a comparative advantage in the production of some crops as olive crop, which generates a distinct economic return, whether marketed locally or exported. This governorate occupies the twentieth place for the productivity of this crop in Egypt. The research aimed to identify the most important production and marketing problems facing olive farmers in North Sinai Governorate. Research data were collected through personal interviewing questionnaire with 100 respondents representing 25% of the total olive farmers at Meriah village from October to December 2015. Results: Results showed that there are many production and marketing problems faced by farmers. The most frequent of the production problems were the problem of increasing fertilizer prices (64% of the surveyed farmers), and the problem of irrigation water high salinity (52% of the respondents). Where the majority of the respondents mentioned that these problems are the most important productive problems they are facing, followed by problems of poor level of extension services (48%), high cost of irrigation wells (47%), difficulty in owning land (46%), and lack of agricultural mechanization (39%), while the most important marketing problems were the problem of the exploitation of traders (62%), the absence of agricultural marketing extension (59%), the high prices of trained labor to collect the crop (59%), and lack of olive presses present in the area (57%).

Box 97, Amado, AZ 85645, USA ABSTRACT This study compares the external dose due to the y-ray emitting radionuclides in various areas in north Sinai, Egypt. The whole area was divided into 10 regions. The average absorbed dose rates were evaluated for each region. It was found that Zaranik protected area and Al-Massaid have the highest values of 69.0 and S4.7 nGy h"1, respectively. The corresponding values of the remaining regions were below 21 nGy h"1. The mean annual effective dose equivalent for the four largest cities Rafah, El-Sheikh Zuwaied, Al-Arish and Bir El-Abd were 20.7,16.1,53.4 and 13.9 jiSv. That is one individual at risk due to the radiation exposure of naturally occurring radionuclides in 50.8, 84.7, 8.7 and 85.3 years -for these cities, respectively. The results are compared with those from different areas in Egypt and in various countries.
