يوضح هذا البحث قدرة نمو العينات الطبيعية للمشطورات تحت نسب Si:N الطبيعية خلال شهر آذار في عام 2010. بالإضافة لذلك تم البحث في إمكان حدوث تغيرات في العوامل المحددة للنمو و تغيرات في سيادة مجموعات العوالق النباتية من المشطورات إلى ثنائيات السياط. لذلك تم جمع عوالق العينات من محطتين بحريتين مختلفتين بخصائصهما البيئية، في تجارب التغذية لدراسة سلوكية المشطورات تحت نسب Si:N مختلفة (Si:N=0.3, 7). تبين أن المشطورات تمكنت من النمو في النسب Si:N المنخفضة (Si:N=0.3) و المرتفعة (Si:N= 7 ) في التجارب المنجزة في كلا المحطتين المدروستين. و يتفوق نمو المشطورات على نمو ثنائيات السياط. لم يلاحظ أي تغير في العوامل المحددة لنمو المشطورات من النترات تجاه السيليكات في القوارير ذات الـنسب Si:N المنخفضة، و بالتالي لم يسجل أي تغير في نمو المشطورات تجاه ثنائيات السياط. أثرت تجارب التغذية في التركيب النوعي للمشطورات، حيث ساد النوع Nitzschia closterium Ehrenberg، و هو من الأنواع غير الشائعة خلال الإزهرار الربيعي للعوالق النباتية في المحطات المدروسة.
Experiments were carried out at two stations in the northern part of Latakian coastal water during March 2010, to investigate the influence of Si: N ratios on diatoms growth and to determine the conditions that would generate Si limitation in diatom growth and that might cause a shift from diatom to din flagellate dominance. To achieve that, Natural Phytoplankton were cultured in mesocosm experiments. At the beginning of the experiment, the inorganic nutrients were manipulated to give different inorganic Si: N ratios (ranged between 0, 3 and 7). The results showed that Diatoms were still dominant under these Si: N ratios and Din flagellates remained unaffected, regardless of the above different ratios. The experiment did not show any Silicate limitation to the diatom growth even under the lowest N: Si ratios. Moreover, the species composition of diatoms was affected by the enrichment experiments operated in two stations. Here, the Nitzschia closterium species dominated under both low and high Si: N ratios although their occurrence is not common during the spring phytoplankton bloom at both sites.

Middle Miocene deposits reveal the form of outcrops which are limited in area on
the northern boards of the basin of AL-KABEER Al-Shemaly River. It is characterized by
a large and fast changes in thickness and facies.
This study focused on the res
ults of careful Fossile analysis of 41 samples (hard and
soft) which were taken from the three geological sections, through which the principal
zones, which characterize middle Miocene, were confirmed depending on planktonic
foraminifera.
N9, -Orbulina suturalis-Globerotalia peripheroronda
N10-N13-Globerotalia fohsi, Sphaaerodinellopsis subdehiscens- Globigrina drury ,
N14 – Globigerina nepenthes- Globerotalia siakensis.
It was identified as benthic foraminifera, which has been characterized by its
diversity and their increasing numbers in the northern boards of the Neogene basin and
identify the lithology of these deposits consisting of alternations of limestone and
limestone of medium hardness to very soft marl with different colors.
This study also contributed to the detection of some paleogeographical development
in the basin in that period of time.
This research focuses on determining elemental concentrations of copper and lead
(Cu &pb) in the muscles and liver Boops boops kind of the estuary of the AL Kabeer
Alshemaly River and the fishing port and the promenade using atomic absorption
tech
nique.
The results showed a significant increase in the concentrations of lead during
summer 2014 in each of the muscle tissue and the liver of the fish examined (28.28ppm&
4.48ppm, respectively) at the mouth of the estuary of the AL Kabeer Alshemaly River and
the fishing port and the promenade (11.19ppm& 3.75ppm, respectively), and this could be
due to the different nature of human activities and sources of pollution to this element
between the two regions.
The results showed a marked seasonal change in the concentration of copper within
the liver tissue of fish studied, where the highest concentration in the fishing port and the
promenade( 5630.02 ppm) in autumn 2014, the Supreme( 3402.27ppm) value in the AL
Kabeer Alshemaly River the estuary of summer. While the results did not show the
variable in concentrations of copper in muscle . Theconcentrations were comparable
between the two stations somewhat, with the highest concentrations in the summer in
Bouth the fishing port and the promenade 1497.70ppm) and(1107.91 ppm) the AL Kabeer
Alshemaly River.
Results indicate that the accumulation of the studied elements (Cu &pb) in the liver
compared to muscle (and the reason is boiled physiological differences in the functions of
each of the two members) and to the existence of a good correlation between the
concentration in the muscle changes with the typical length of which points to increased
accumulation of these elements in these fish with increased growth,Noting the high
concentration of the studied elements in females more than those recorded in males.
Half quarterly water samples were collected during the period between March 2015
and February 2016 of four different stations from Banias city water that is subject to the
effect of sewage and estuaries. The concentrations of nutrients (H3SiO4
-,
PO4
-3, NO3
-, NO2
-
, NH4
+ ) and the concentrations of chlorophyll a were determined to find out how affected
by the temporal and spatial variability. The highest concentrations of phosphate and
ammonia ions were observed at station St3 (close to the sewage), while the highest
concentrations of nitrate ions were registered at the stations St1 and St2 (estuaries). The
results showed high values of chlorophyll a in April (due to spring bloom of
phytoplankton) and October (autumn bloom). The ions ratio ΣN/P revealed that
phosphorus ions are limiting factor of the phytoplankton growth at St1 and St2, and that
nitrogen ions are limiting factor of growth at the stations St3 and St4. The ratio Si/ΣN
revealed that silicate ions are limiting factor of the growth of diatoms in all the stations.
Five mixtures of ordinary concrete of dolomite aggregates were
prepared by changing the water to cement ratio. Thirty six cubic
concrete samples were prepared for every mixture.
Groundwater Samples were collected from seven locations distributed in
Lattakiabasin during the winter and summer seasons of 2013.All samples were treated
chemically and calculated statistically to evaluate the quality of the studied water and its
chemical properties. The aim was to assess the suitability of the water to be potable and to
determine the predominant hydrogeology status.
It was noticed that the concentrations of the detected major elements were within
allowed limits cited for drinking and irrigation waters. Also, it was found that there were
no sharp changes either in salinity or in geochemical type of the water toward groundwater
movement. Furthermore, the groundwater in the studied locations was largely influenced
by lithological composition of aquatic holder. In general, these waters were found to be
uncontaminated with marine waters with exception of the location called " wall of Al
Mena Al Baida" that is located near the sea. This has been proven by calculation of some
of geochemical proportions. Also, this study proved that the aquatic flows in the different
water holders of Latakia basin have a hydrolytic relationship among them. Consequently,
these flows comprise a uniform aquatic flow with homogenous properties in most of its
parts. The direction movement of this uniform flow was identical to the general decline of
the zone mostly.
