The present work deals with geology, geochemistry, radioactivity and tectonic environment of the granitic and volcanic rocks at Hadarba area, South Eastern Desert of Egypt. The granitic rocks comprise tonalite-granodiorite and monzogranite, while the volcanic rocks include rhyolite, rhyodacite and dacite. These rocks are characterized by high concentrations of SiO2, Na2O, Fe2O3, K2O, Zr, Nb and Y but low in MgO, CaO, Cr, Ni, Sr, Ga and V. Field studies indicate that Dokhan volcanics extrude...

Although skin...

Risk-taking behaviour leading to critical accidents and deaths is widespread and a social problem world-wide among adolescents. The interplay of gender, school grade levels and PEN scores on risk-taking behaviour are mixed, without a research pattern and inconclusive hence this study anchored on the hypotheses that males and low graders will score higher on PEN and also engage in high risk behaviour than females and high graders respectively. Using a cross-sectional research design, four...

Dans cet article nous avons tenté de cerner la difficulté de didactiser une notion linguistique telle que l’énonciation dans les manuels scolaires algériens. Nous nous appuyons sur un corpus d’étude qui comprend les programmes et les manuels scolaires de français du secondaire publiés dans le cadre de la réforme scolaire, pour faire émerger les théories d’énonciation qui sous-tendent leurs discours. Nous montrons également que les données de l’énonciation retenues s’y manifestent...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether tertiary institutions have started to incorporate green-building...
