Objective: To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of brucellosis in human and animal’s communities in southern Saudi ***: A cross-sectional sero-epidemiological study was conducted in Aseer and Jazan, Saudi Arabia(October 2017-October 2018). Human serum samples(n=339) were initially screened for Brucella antibodies and positive samples were further titrated for Brucella antibodies by immunocapture assay(titer of ≥1:320 as positive). Animal samples(n=828) were screened using the Rose Bengal test. Relationship status was dichotomized to measure and predict independent contributions to variations in human using univariate and multivariate stepwise binary logistic regression model. Results: The rate of brucellosis among the 339 human samples in the two regions was 33.9%, and the rate of acute brucellosis was 12.4%. The rate of brucellosis in animals was 4.7%. Human brucellosis among the target groups was higher in northwestern Aseer(53.3%) compared to Southeastern Aseer(25.9%) and Jazan region(20.6%). The disease was more prevalent among non-Saudi nationals(35.2%) compared to Saudis(30.5%). The rate of brucellosis among butchers and shepherds was 37.5% and 37.2%, respectively. The rate of brucellosis was 37.8% in people over 30 years of age. Our univariate analysis showed that residing in Aseer region(OR: 2.60, 95% CI: 1.50-4.40), especially residing in northwestern Aseer region(OR: 4.40, 95% CI: 2.40-7.90), frequent consumption of raw meat(OR: 2.90, 95% CI: 1.50-5.50), shepherds(OR: 2.10, 95% CI: 0.80-5.30), owning sheep(OR: 2.20, 95% CI: 1.10-4.40), daily contact with animals(OR: 2.10, 95% CI: 0.75-5.80), and those > 30-year-old(OR: 1.50, 95% CI: 1.00-2.40) were significantly associated with increased risks of brucellosis. Our multivariate analysis further showed that residing in northwestern Aseer(OR: 9.16, 95% CI: 3.39-24.76) and having sheep(OR: 1.16, 95% CI: 1.00-1.35) were significant and independent risks of brucellosis while residing in agric

alumina-boron catalysts for oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene: Influence of alumina-boron composition and method of preparation on catalysts properties

引用

Chinese Journal of Catalysis 2019年第11期40卷 1758-1765页

作者： Nagaraju Pasupulety muhammad A.Daous abdulrahim A.al-Zahrani Hafedh Driss Lachezar A.Petrov Chemical and materials Engineering Department Faculty of Engineering King Abdulaziz University P.O. Box 80204 Jeddah 21589 Saudi Arabia

Different mole ratio al-B catalysts (al-10B to al-35B) were synthesized by using sol-gel (SG) method. Ethyl benzene (EB) dehydrogenation in the presence of oxygen and water steam was carried out on these catalysts at 450–500℃ with EB contact time of 0.54 ***^–3. Acidity of al-B catalysts was estimated by using NH3-TPD-mass spectral analysis studies. SEm-mapping images revealed fine distribution of boron up to 15% of its loading in alumina (al-15B), whereas, boron aggregation was observed in higher boron content (al-25B and al-35B) catalysts. Essentially, acid sites of very weak strength (Tmax ≤ 125℃) were observed for al and al-10B catalysts and resulted in low EB conversion and styrene yield. On the other hand, acid sites of weak strength (Tmax ≤ 180℃) were observed for al-25B and al-35B catalysts and resulted in high EB conversion. However, greater styrene yield (43.2%) with reasonable EB conversion (46%) was obtained on acid sites of weak moderate strength in al-15B catalyst. Further, al-15B catalyst was synthesized by using co-precipitation (COP) and impregnation (ImP) methods. Acid sites related to NOx formation during the NH3-TPD-mass analysis on ImP and COP catalyst essentially improved the EB conversion to 66% and 63% respectively at 500℃. However, these acid sites were diminished in al-B SG catalyst and resulted in 50% of EB conversion at 500 ℃. At 50% of EB conversion level, styrene selectivity of 73%, 82.5% and 84% were observed on al-B ImP, al-B COP and al-SG catalysts, respectively. Hence, different method of preparation of al-B catalyst generated acid sites of different strength and density and thereby influenced the styrene formation.

Use of Geomatic Approaches to Characterize Arqa River Basin: A Typical Coastal Lebanese River

引用

Open Journal of modern Hydrology 2015年第3期5卷 45-57页

作者： abdulrahim Ibrahim moustafa al Hajj mhamad El Hage Department of Geography (GISRS Lab) Lebanese University Tripoli Lebanon Centre for Language and Communication Studies Lebanese University Beirut Lebanon Department of Geography (GISRS Lab) and Department of Civil Engineering Lebanese University Tripoli Lebanon

Water resources in Lebanon are one of the major threatened natural resources, since they spread on different geographic locations creating a network of permanent and temporary watercourses that govern the socio-economy and livelihood. However, lately, these watercourses, and certainly the rivers and streams, are witnessing unfavorable impacts that make them with less benefit and use. In addition, most of the Lebanese river basins have not been characterized due to the newly physical challenges of climate change and the human interference. Hence, characterization of the Lebanese river basins must be obtained in order to monitor the changing of physical and anthropogenic parameters. This can help for better conservation and adaptation approaches, notably for climate change. Arqa River, a coastal Lebanese river in North Lebanon is a typical example. In this study, Arqa River basin and the occupied streams among it have been studied using new advanced geomatic techniques. These techniques are based on the treatment of digital geo-spatial data in systematic approaches. ArcGIS is the software which is used to elaborate and manipulate (data interrelation, measures, overlapping, ordering, etc.) the geo-spatial data. Thus, the geometric and morphometric analysis were obtained for the river catchment and the existing tributaries. This will be a primary tool for further applications including water resources management in the river system. This can be utilized in the execution of dams, mountain lakes, man-made channels and in mapping flood-prone areas. In addition, the obtained characterization of this basin will be helpful in mapping erosion processes and estimation of the infiltration capacity, plus monitoring surface water flow. It is a typical approach of analysis that can be applied for the rest of Lebanese river systems in order to attain a better water resources management. This study shows that the use of geomatic techniques is a very helpful tool in the study of basin

Estimate of the Aquifer Temperature of Assammaqieh Well in Akkar by Geothermometric Equations

引用

Journal of Water Resource and Protection 2017年第3期9卷 271-288页

作者： abdulrahim Ibrahim Department of Geography (GISRS Lab) Lebanese University Tripoli Lebanon

This research aims at estimating the temperature of the aquifer that supplies Assammaqieh well at the depth of 550 m, on the basis of chemical analyses and geothermometric techniques which are one of the methods used for searching for the renewable geothermal energy and conserving the environment. In this study, about twenty-two geothermometric indicators have been used. For verifying the results, these results have been compared with data and estimates of temperature of fluids of deep typical wells in New Zealand, and it has been noticed that the theoretical and actual results approach the limits of 95% in many indicators. The study has been restricted to the relations of Cations because they are the most reliable, and the least affected by dissolution and evaporation. most of the indicators that are based on the four chemical elements: Calcium (Ca), Potassium (K), Sodium (Na), magnesium (mg), have been adopted. The laboratory analysis data of Assammaqieh well confirmed that it was hot sulphurous water that acquired its chemical properties from complicated geochemical conditions, underground thermal conditions and volcanic rock nature. It also turned out that the underground heating process was basically due to thermal conductivity and rock adjacency, and that Assammaqieh well was supplied with water from adjacent groundwater tables whose source was the penetration of surface water. It also appeared that most of the equations used in the search for geothermal energy revealed the presence of an aquifer of hot and very hot water, and they were compatible with the high thermal gradient in volcanic rocks. It also tuned out that 86% of the used geothermometric equations estimated the aquifer temperature of Assammaqieh well as being hot and very hot with around 135.5 Celsius (±20). The study concluded with the hypothesis that Akkar possessed a huge geothermal energy, and benefiting from this energy might put an end to the chronic problem of electricity in Lebanon, and op
