About the Cover

The Northern largest continent of Earth, with three southern being narrowed ends – American, African and Australian is for the first time considered. It is shown that the central part of it is lowered in the Paleozoic – Cenozoic time and covered with water of the Arctic Ocean. The continent exists initially, since the Hadean, in strictly continuous situation. It is characterized by long geological development; big power of crust, folded structures of sedimentary rocks, both specific chemical and petrographic composition of crust. The second continent of Earth – Southern (Antarctic) occupies small area of the southern pole. Establishment of the huge Northern continent of Earth as specific tectonics and geochemical Earth’s anomaly, has fundamental value for solution of a planet’s problem evolution at astronomical and geological stages of its existence.

DISCOVERY OF THE MONTH

Discovery of Malaria Plasmodium in an Anopheles mosquito by Ronald Ross - August 20, 1897

Brindha V

Malaria is caused by infection with protozoan parasites belonging to the genus Plasmodium transmitted by female Anopheles species mosquitoes. The malaria parasites begin in 1880 with the discovery of the parasites in the blood of malaria patients by Alphonse Laveran.

ANALYSIS

Evaluation of the Destruction Procedure of Eccentric Braced Frames against Progressive Collapse using APM method

Seyyed Abdonnabi Razavi, Seyyed Afshin Mohebi

Based on most design codes, buildings are designed to bear regular loads including dead and live gravity loads, winds, earthquakes, etc. And their efficient lifetime is determined accordingly. Due to unnatural and unpredicted factors such as fire, accidents and explosion, the load which influences the structure is much greater than the design loads.

Cancer Magnitude in West Libya and Study the Effect of Dietary Habits in Cancer Incidence and Cancer Treatment using Nanotechnology

Amal R. Agila, Mohamed M. Elawayeb, Yousef M. Elgitait

This study is to provide an overview of magnitude of cancer incidence in West Libya form 2009 to 2013 and cancer mortality from 2009 to 2012, to identify the role of bad meal in developing cancer, and to suggest further nano-technology research for treating cancer. Among 1851 cancer patients, 1472 cases (79.5%) occur in people aged above 40 years old.

Derivation of Van Aerde traffic stream model and studying the effect of Ramp Metering

Karan Arora, Bidoura Khondaker, Saeid Saidi, Lina Kattan

With increase in population, demand for traffic is increasing tremendously. As a consequence congestion on urban freeways or highways during the morning and evening peak hours is always increasing. This research examines the traffic condition on Highway 2 (i.e Deerfoot Trail), Calgary, Canada by providing ramp metering (funded by Government of Canada in Collaboration with MITACS Globalink Program).

Flood Hazard Assessment in Eastern Slovakia

Lenka Gaňová, Martina Zeleňáková, Pavol Purcz

The main objective of this paper is to assess flood hazard in river basins in the eastern Slovakia for the purposes of flood risk management. Multicriteria analysis (MCA) specifically ranking method (RM), analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and geographical information system (GIS) are used for evaluation flood hazard areas.

Statistical and Geographical Analysis of Precipitation and Temperatures of Libya

Martina Zeleňáková, Pavol Purcz, Žofia Kuzevičová

Statistical analysis of the evaluation of climatic parameters is based on available weather data. Analysis was devoted to two climatic parameters – precipitation and temperature time series. Climate data were available from 17 stations in Libya over the 40 years-period (1971 - 2010). Statistical analysis results clearly show a gradual increase of average daily temperatures.

Indirect Spectrophotometric Methods for the Determination of Tadalafil

Safwan Fraihat

Two spectrophotometric methods were developed for the determination Tadalafil in pharmaceutical preparations. The methods are based on the oxidation reaction with known excess amount of Ce(IV) and estimation of the unreacted amount using Indigo carmine dye (Method A) and in Methylene blue dye (Method B).

The response of stressed and unstressed cultivars of pearl millet to in vitro conditions appears similar

Masoumeh Yaghoobi, Niloofar Hashempour, Mouza Al Shamisi, Aly Z.E. Abdelsalam, Rajya Lakshimi

Pilot sea water farming with pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br.] cultivars has been attempted. Petri plate screens and pot cultures have been used to screen for salt tolerant genotypes among four cultivars of pearl millet. Sea water dilutions 1/4th, and 1/8 with electrical conductivity of 6.8 dS/m and 13.6 dS/m were used to identify the tolerant and sensitive cultivars.

Behavior of Aluminum Alloy Castings under Different Pouring Temperatures and Speeds

Ager P, Iortsor A, Obotu GM

This investigation studied the effect of varying magnesium percentage compositions in aluminium - magnesium alloy at a specific pouring rate of 2.5 cm/sec and a pouring temperature of 760°C. The sand cast specimens were produced in the following magnesium alloy percentage compositions; 3.33%, 6.67%, 10.00%, 13.33% and 16.67%. The specimens were subsequently tested for quality, and properties such as hardness, compressive strength and metallographic examinations were considered.

Screening of novel selected rare earths polychelates of 2,4-dihydroxy benzophenone resins as a catalyst for selected Beginili reactions

Nileshkumar M Baria, Saiyogita Sharma, Patel Vasant M, Joshi JD

Synthesis of monomer 2,4-dihydroxy Benzophenone (DHBP) was carried out from resorcinol. The resins poly [(2,4- dihydroxy Benzophenone) ethylene, was synthesized using DHBP with ethane diol. Synthesised resin was used to prepare polychelates of La(III), Pr(III), Nd(III), Sm(III), Gd(III), Tb(III) and Dy(III), Monomer, resin and polychelates were characterized using modern analytical methods.

Synthesis and Characterization: Ln(III) Polychelates of phenolic resins

Nileshkumar M Baria, Saiyogita Sharma, Patel Vasant M, Joshi JD

The polymeric ligand (resin) was prepared from 2,4-dihydroxy benzophenone with 1,2-propylene glycol in presence of polyphosphoric acid as a catalyst at 160ºC for 13 h. The poly[(2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone) 1,2- propylene glycol] (DHBP-1,2- PD) form 1:2 metal: ligand chelates with La(III), Pr(III), Nd(III), Sm(III), Gd(III), Tb(III) and Dy(III). The polymeric ligand and its polychelates were characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, electronic spectra, magnetic susceptibilities, IR spectroscopy, NMR and thermogravimetric analyses.
