Evidence that homozygous PTPRD gene microdeletion causes trigonocephaly, hearing loss, and intellectual disability
Published in Molecular Cytogenetics
BackgroundThe premature fusion of metopic sutures results in the clinical phenotype of trigonocephaly. An association of this characteristic with the monosomy 9p syndrome is well established and the receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatase gene (PTPRD), located in the 9p24.1p23 region and encoding a major component of the excitatory and inhibitor...
Spatial and temporal variability of water quality in the Nile delta
On the spatial coherence of rainfall over the Saloum delta (Senegal) from seasonal to decadal time scales
A paleoreconstruction of the length and intensity of the rainy season over western Africa has been recently proposed, using analysis of fossil mollusk shells from the Saloum delta region, in western Senegal. In order to evaluate the significance of local long-term reconstructions of precipitations from paleoclimate proxies, and to better characteri...
Grassroots e-floras in the Poaceae: growing GrassBase and GrassWorld.
Published in PhytoKeys
GrassBase and GrassWorld are the largest structured descriptive datasets in plants, publishing descriptions of 11,290 species in the DELTA format. Twenty nine years of data compilation and maintenance have created a dataset which now underpins much of the Poaceae bioinformatics. GrassBase and GrassWorld can continue to grow productively if the prol...
Survey of groundwater use in the central part of the Nile Delta
Characterization of VUV pulses from the short-pulse facility at DELTA and steps towards pump-probe experiments
The short-pulse facility at the 1.5-GeV synchrotron light source DELTA, operated by the TU Dortmund University, generates coherent VUV radiation by Coherent Harmonic Generation (CHG) as well as coherent THz pulses. The goal is to provide femtosecond coherent VUVradiation pulses for time-resolved pump-probe experiments. CHG is based on the interacti...

Monitoring land use/land cover change using multi-temporal Landsat satellite images in an arid environment: a case study...
Published in Arabian Journal of Geosciences
Environment in arid conditions is dynamic and needs more investigation to understand the complexity of change. This spatiotemporal study will help to assess and monitor the land use and land cover change in the arid region of El-Arish area, where the climate and human activities are the major threats to rural development. In the past 11 years, dram...
