Damascus is located at the southern part of Syria not far from the Dead sea fault system, in particular from one of its branches the Sergayah fault. The latter in particular is a quite active fault system and the main seismic source for both destructive historical events felt and instrumental seismicity recorded in Damascus. To model seismic ground motion in Damascus plain and to estimate its amplifications we use a 2-D hybrid method coupling modal summation with finite differences. This techniques allows to compute ground motion in laterally heterogeneous an elastic media. Synthetic seismograms with a cutoff frequency of 5 Hz are created along one 2-D profile passing through the city of Damascus for possible seismic source with assumed magnitudes around 6.5 located on the Sergayah fault. The average regional structural model and the laterally heterogeneous parts of the profiles have been derived from detailed geological and geotechnical data available for the investigated area. From the computations we can infer that the maximum ground motion amplification values in Damascus plain are generally found at frequencies around 1 Hz and 4 Hz. In addition for assessing liquefaction potential in Damascus plain tow methods have been used. first one evaluated roughly liquefaction potential based on topographical and geological information and the second one based on geotechnical data such as N- value, grain size and estimated peak ground acceleration to calculate a liquefaction resistance factor, FL. and liquefaction potential index, IL. We found that IL exceeds 15 which mean probable sever liquefaction.

Importance and aims of the research Biomechanics science is interested in studying the dynamic function and the movement of vital tissues depending on their mechanical properties. The main objective of this research is to design a digital model of the human femur using the engineering software specialized in medical image processing and engineering design in order to simulate the mechanical behavior. This would provide important medical information to orthopedic surgeons concerning the paths and the causes of bone fractures and deformities, and open a new perspectives in prosthetics efficiency enhancement. Materials and methods A three dimensional digital model of the femur was produced using the software DeVIDE v 9.8 for medical image processing. A surface triangular mesh was constructed and the mechanical response of the model has been simulated using Ansys 14.5. Results and discussions We have shown the steps necessary to design a computerized model of femur bone on the basis of three-dimensional X-ray images. The results showed the distribution of stresses and displacements of human femur at normal load conditions. Conclusion and recommendations It is recommended to adopt the specialized engineering software for the threedimensional simulation which can be used in different medical applications.
The dynamic soil characteristics in Eastern Ghoota, which is located on Damascus basin, was studied to estimate the predominant period and the amplification factor in all sites, using Nakamura's technique. This technique is considered as one of th e important empirical techniques used in the world to study the surface geology effects on site response. About 1000 seismic noise measurements were carried out in 265 sites covering different geology deposits. The H/V spectra ratio were calculated and analyzed to determine the site predominant period and amplification factor. The results exhibit good correlation with the local geology and the modeling of geotechnical boreholes, whereas the predominant period and amplification factor values vary clearly from site to site.
In this paper we describe the logistics, the technical, and the recordings of the Damascus University Seismological Station (DUSS). In addition to the detailed noise study for the station site, we presented the step by step development of the stat ion instrumentations, as well as the response curves for the station seismometers, and an example of the data exchange bulletin of station readings format.

The water resources and water availability is main source for understanding the threshold of Urbanism resources limitation; and any imbalance in water resources specifications reflexes a crises for cities expansion, population growth, and activitie s variety, mostly the planner depends on providing some general recommendations about water uses and suggesting simple strategies for correcting the deficiency without considering the needed consideration. That drew the research to study ers Damascus the water of in city water future which should be worried about, throughout a review on the former urban studies and look at the related balance water studies and the adopted future population increase scenarios, and its impacts on the expansion areas; in order to propose a system for planning, evaluating, and allocating the limited water resources, between the agricultural, urban, and environmental uses; whereas full integration between supply, demand, and water quality will be achieved , throughout compact indicators, manage building a model (Model) which will be a tool for integrated planning method of water resources; can be adopted to study the future needs of water in the short, medium and long terms.
