The study aims to identify the physiological profile characteristics of the Egyptian youth wrestlers as well as to identify the differences in the physiological profile between small weights wrestlers and medium weights wrestlers in the physiological measurements under investigation, at rest and after the effort. The research sample was purposefully chosen from the winning wrestlers ranking bet...

A survey for resistance against net blotch disease (caused by Pyrenophora teres) was performed on some Egyptian barley landraces and some selected resistance and susceptible standard German barley genotypes. The results indicated that most of the Egyptian barley landraces are extremely resistant to the disease. Molecular analysis using RAPD and AFLP showed unique banding profiles for the differ...

Alchemy traces its roots back to the Egyptian civilisation where it emerged as a practising art and science and an expression of the Egyptian religion. Thus it was that the Egyptian Thoth, the god of mathematics and science, became the inspirational source for the Hellenistic figure of Hermes Trismegistus, who in turn became the model for the medieval Mercurius. The Greeks learned their Alchemy...

Pollinator populations are under severe pressure worldwide because of man-made intensification in land use, including the use of pesticides and fertilizers. The majority of wild and crop plants are fully or partially dependent on pollinators for their reproduction. Loss of pollinators has already caused measurable declines in the populations of many wild plants in Europe. Many Egyptian crops ar...

The present investigation was to study DNA polymorphism of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) gene by PCR-RFLP in four Egyptian local sheep breeds. Genomic DNA was isolated from a total of 20 animals from four Egyptian breeds (five each) of sheep namely Rahmani, Ossimi, Awassi, and Barki. A fragment of IGFBP-3 gene, comprising of a part of exon 2, complete intron 2, exon 3, ...

The origins of the ancient Egyptian state and its formation have received much attention through analysis of mortuary contexts, skeletal material, and trade. Genetic diversity was analyzed by studying craniometric variation within a series of six time-successive Egyptian populations in order to investigate the evidence for migration over the period of the development of social hierarchy and the...

The post-1989 transformation of the Egyptian art world reveals the particular tenacity of colonial logics and national attachments in culture industries built through anticolonial nationalism and socialism. Tensions emerged between and among Western and Egyptian curators, critics, and artists with the development of a foreign-dominated private-sector art market and as Egyptian art begins to cir...
