يوضح البحث العوامل المؤثرة على الهطول المطري و المعدل العام و التغيرات السنوية و الشهرية و اليومية, عن طريق حساب الانحراف المعياري و التذبذب السنوي ,حيث تبين أن الانحراف المعياري عن المعدل العام يعطي قيم كبيرة , في المحطات التي تقع في الشمال من منطقة الدراسة , و أن نسبة التذبذب تكون مرتفعة في المحطات الواقعة في الوسط و الجنوب , بسبب طبيعة المناخ الجاف, فضل عن أن زيادة عدد الأيام الماطرة لا تعني بالضرورة الزيادة في كمية الهطول , كما يلحظ تباين في كمية الهطول المطري من محطة لأخرى بسبب تباين العوامل المناخية المؤثرة فيها.
The study shows the factors affecting rain precipitation, general rate and annual, monthly and daily changes by calculating the standard deviation and the annual fluctuation. The standard deviation from the general average shows large values in the stations located in the north of the study area. Stations in the center and south, because of the nature of the dry climate, as well as that the increase in the number of rainy days does not necessarily mean an increase in the amount of precipitation, and a difference in the amount of rainfall from one station to another because of the difference in climatic factors affecting them .

This paper focuses on climate change in Nineveh based on climatological data records in
this governorate. The general trend of the temperature appeared to surpass its average mean.
The severe hot days also increased in summer, the precipitation in
general deceased practically
in the last two decades, irregular and delayed distribution of the rain, as well as drought cycles
did occur.
Vulnerability assessment of freshwater resources in the Orontes
basin was estimated in the provinces of Homs, Hama and Idlib to
better understand the current situation of water under the prevailing
conditions and to identify the most prominent fac
tors that influence
water susceptibility to environmental changes. This study helps
decision-makers in evaluating and modify existing policies and
implementing suitable measures to improve water resource
management.
Water erosion is considered one of the most prominent and dangerous forms of soil erosion, especially in the coastal region, where it rains in large quantities. Consequently, this results in sweeping away tons of soil into the river streams; some of
this will be deposited in the rivers, some in the dam lakes constructed on these rivers, while the rest will be deposited in the sea into which rivers flow. The aims of this study are to calculate the ratio between the amount of sediments related to water erosion of the soil and the amount of the sediments transported in Zgaro River which reach the lake of 16 Tishreen Dam, and to suggest the appropriate solutions which will insure reducing the sedimentation rate and its correlated negative impacts. This study demonstrates the characteristics of the watershed of Zgaro River using Watershed Modeling System (WMS 7.1), and also the calculation of the total amount of sediments related to water erosion of the soil in the area of study, applying the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE). The amount of sediments transported by water was also calculated using internationally recognized measuring devices. These devices were manufactured for the purpose of this study. A total of 24886 tons of transported sediments was measured in Zgaro River, constituting 36% of the total annual amount of 69401 tons of sediments resulting from water erosion of the soil. This value comprises the actual amount of sediments deposited in the lake of 16 Tishreen Dam, which is then transported through the river stream. Consequently, this sedimentation has resulted in a downward trend of the reservoir capacity of the dam lake. These findings require feasible solutions to reducing the rate of sedimentation and its correlated negative impacts.
Samples of surface sediment of St. Johns River Basin were collected,
extracted and their aliphatic hydrocarbons (AH) were determinated
quantitatively and qualitatively by GC-FID and GC-MS Techniques, were used
to characterize the (AH) hydrocarbons
homologous and biomarker
compounds.The sediments contained high organic matter content, while the
hydrocarbons AH represented ٠,٣٥-٢,٧٢٪ of the total organic matter (TOM)
found in sediments.
Neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) is an important tree species that is known to posses anthelmintic, contraceptive, antimicrobial, antidiabetic and sedative properties. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify various compounds present in the
leaf extract of neem and to enlist various biological activities of these compounds through literature survey. Methodology: Extract of neem was obtained by soaking 100 g dry powdered leaves in 1000 mL methanol followed by filtration. This was successively fractioned using n-hexane and chloroform. Results: GC-MS analysis of the chloroform fraction was performed and 7 compounds namely 2-pentanol, acetate (9.72%); decane (8.96%); 11-oxa-dispiro[4.0.4.1]undecan-1-ol (6.56%); nonanoic acid, 9-(3-hexenylidenecyclopropylidene)-, 2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethyl ester, (Z,Z,Z)- (7.13%); quinoline-4-carboxamide, 2-phenyl-N-n-octyl- (9.79%); nonacosane (44.27%) and tetratriacontane (13.43%) were identified. Conclusion: Literature survey showed that the identified compounds possessed antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiviral properties.
