The study of fracture in Kadmous and Safita showed several
fracturing directions, originally related to the tectonic structure of
the studied zone, especially faults. A group of dominant principal
fractures, with a direction of NW-SE, a group of less importance
with direction of NE-SW, and a secondary group of N-S direction,
have been determined.
Family Vespidae considered as Widespread globally and belong to the order
Hymenoptera called wasps, It contains about 5000 species belong to six subfamilies.
Members of this family differ in terms of style of living and life cycle and the type of
diet. Colors overlap between the black and yellow or red, yellow or three together.
This study examined six species belong to the four genera (Vespa, Vespula, Poistes,
Delta) and three sub-families are: Sub.Fam. Vespinae, Sub.Fam. Polistinae, Sub.Fam.
Eumeninae, gathered from many different areas of the province of Latakia
environment (15 area) from altitudes ranging from sea level to a height of 1000
meters, over a period of time it extends from April through October of 2015.
Study of 30 sediment samples at the laboratory and different Samples in situ (Field observation) reveals that related to Cenomanian Stage in Tartus and Safita Area. The results of this study reveals there are many, secondary and local Faults, which a
re related to the east Mediterranean mean Fault, which contributed in the exist joints in carbonate thin deposit Rocks, which help in quarrying the rocks. The study reveals that the cenomanian strata are represented by Deeping / shallowing-up Cycles and an interesting darkish mud sedimentary layer in Slenfa formation, and there are some other interesting sedimentary limestone and marly limestone's deposits, which contain fossils and some flint nodules and nodular limstone. The study of some of these flint nodules indicated the existent of rudistic shell within it, where as the other contain some benthic Foraminifera as Orbitolina, which reveals an Sedimentation in shallow marine environment. The study of fossils, micro Foraminifera & macro, in rock samples have prove that sedimentary rocks in the study area are related to the Cenemanian stage. The macro fossils like (Gastropods, Bivalves & Ammonites ), also we determined a layer of Oyster in the area within Hanafiah formation and Rudista layer. Result revealed that sediment deposit related to Carbonate-Platform.
The study of Quaternary terraces in the south of the coastal chain, safita and Marmaritadistrict, constitute a great importance in understanding the geological and structural conditions, that prevailed in the region in that period. The rivers Abrash
andAL-Arousplayed a major role in the formation of these quaternary terraces from the lower Quaternarytill Holocene. These terraces were distributed on a narrow space and points spread over the basins of the rivers in the south of the coastal chain. The high of these terraces, between tens to hundreds meters, are a strong indicator of the advancement of theuplift movements affecting the region in recent times, compared with the uplift of that terraces of other important riverssuch the Euphrates and Nahr El-Kabir-Ash-Shemaliriver,according to thestratigraphy and lithology studies, using GPStechniques to determinethe sites high et compare these values with global data, and then appreacitethe tectonic effect on the region. A numerical model tectonicactivity– terraces uplift is proposed.
Coccidiosis is one of the major parasitic diseases of poultry . The disease has s great economic impact in poultry due to resistance of the organisms to anticoccidial drugs.
This study aims to construct a mathematical model to calculate the form factor of
Palestine Oak Maquis grown on the eastern versants of coastal mountains. The form factor
model can help foresters to precisely estimate the volume of tree and forest
stands.
In the year 2014, 129 oak shoots of various ages and sizes, located in natural stands
of different densities and site qualities covering all conditions of region grown on, were
felled.
Diameters at different heights of the felled shoots were measured; shoots volumes
and volumes of equivalent cylinders were calculated, and consequently the values of shoot
form factor were computed. The dataset was randomly split into two parts, 70% (90
shoots) of the data for constructing form factor model and 30% (39 trees) for model
validation.
Several form factor models were developed using the non-linear regression equations
in the statistical program SPSS. Best fit to the data was selected and value of the
coefficient of determination adjusted (R²adj) was about 0.77. The model has been validated
using several statistical methods, the relative bias of the best model ( e%) was ca. -3.6 %,
while the value of model accuracy ) % x m ) was 15%. In order to obtain lower value of
model relative bias and higher value of accuracy, it’s recommended to use a larger
database comprising all distribution areas of oak Maquis in Syria.
The custom was settled that the coastal state had complete sovereignty on its
regionalized sea, benthos, interiority of benthos and layers of atmosphere, taking for
granted that this sovereignty was restricted by the international community interes
ts which
known as “the right of innocent passage”.
The effectiveness of rules of international law, which was related to regionalized sea,
depended on its ability to achieve balance between the interest of coastal state in its
sovereignty on regionalized sea and the interest of international community in the
navigation across the regionalized sea.
In fact, this could be achieved when states were committed to enact legislations,
measures and executive procedures which were compatible with international law which
could led to the settlement of international relations in this part of the sea.
The study of volcanic dykes geometry in the southern Syrian coastal range shows that some of them are related to a tensional tectonic event, Albian dykes, and others are related to a strike-slip stress field like Pliocene dykes. Orientation of dykes
is average between E-W to N-S with maximal direction of N 130- N 145. Drawing of strike-slip stress field depending upon dykes orientation shows important deviation in σ1 strike from NW-SE to E-W in the vicinity of Levant fault during Pliocene time (4.4-5.4My)
The Jasmine butterfly (Hubner) Palpita unionalis is one of the most important insect pests that spread in all nurseries and young olive orchards and cause economic damage in many regions of the world, including Syria.
This study was done in special apiary ( Lattakia province ) to define the effect of adding some vitamins (A,B,C) on the nutrition of the local honeybee colonies at the rate of acceptation in the plastic and wax cups are grafted with larva; and in the productivity of royal jelly , this study was carried out during two period : nectar flow season and nectar poor season.
