This study targets to assign the total carbon stock of Ashaavieen Nature Reserve, Msallata, Libya, as-sisting its potential carbon market value based on different global market sources. Northern and Southern sites were adopted representing the dominant tree species; (Pinus halepensis, Ziziphus lotus, and Ceratonia siliqua). The samples were conducted across the summer and winter of 2020 to get an annual average. These samples were classified into leaves, stems, bark (aboveground), and roots (be-lowground). The soil samples were collected at 0-10 cm, 10-20 cm, and 20-30 cm depth. Organic car-bon content was assessed based on the Loss on Ignition method (LOI). The results have shown that the bark has recorded the highest carbon content rate, followed by the stem, leaf, and root. Also, the carbon in soil samples has a direct relationship with depth in the order of (0-10 cm) &gt; (10-20 cm) &gt; (20-30 cm). Total carbon stock was 870.47 (t/ha/yr) and 1858.21 (t/ha/yr) in Northern and Southern sites. Total tree coverage of the study area was estimated at 91.26 hectares, while the potential carbon market value ranged from 0.72 t0 32.09 million USD.

Generating electricity from renewable energy instead of fossil fuels brings great benefits to the environment and sustainable development. Thus, assessing the potential of wind and solar energy in agricultural coastal areas can identify sustainable energy solutions for meeting energy demand and producing fresh water for agricultural applications and domestic use. However, it is difficult to accurately assess the wind and solar energy potential in Libya due to the civil war, lack of measured data, and its limited availability. Consequently, this concise work is unique because it is the first to use daily measurement data from Az-Zāwiyah, Libya, for evaluating wind and solar energy based on one year of measured data for 2022. Moreover, the present study aims to investigate the potential of wind and solar energy as promising renewable sources for meeting energy demand in coastal agricultural regions in Libya using multiple datasets for the first time. In this paper, five satellite products (TerraClimate, ERA5, ERA5-Land, MERRA-2, and CFSR) were assessed and compared against measured data for January 2022–December 2022 to understand their suitability, accuracy, and reliability. The results showed that CFSR and ERA5-Land demonstrate the most favorable performance for assessing the wind resource, while all satellite products can be utilized for preliminary solar resource assessment. Then, the assessment of wind and solar resources was evaluated in five agricultural coastal regions (Aljmail, Az-Zāwiyah, Castelverde, Msallatah, and Sabratah) based on the best satellite product for the period of 2000–2022. Furthermore, the performance of the wind and solar power systems was investigated for typical farms, which were chosen to estimate the required energy demand according to daily electrical consumption. The results show that the positive outcomes of implementing these systems were highlighted, with an emphasis on their potential benefits to the entire Libyan agricultural sector. Accordingly, scaling up and generalizing the proposed systems and generalizing them to include all farms in Libya could have a significant impact on national electricity generation, mitigate greenhouse gases, and contribute to the development of the agricultural sector and the country’s economy.

Abstract Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) with luciferase-based reporters is a robust approach for monitoring tumour growth and treatment response in preclinical in vivo cancer models. Luciferases are considered foreign molecules that could elicit immune responses when introduced in immunocompetent live animal models [1, 2]. The immunogenicity of luciferases and other transgenic imaging reporters, though often overlooked, was recently discussed in relation to mouse cancer models [3-5]. Herein, we investigated the immunogenicity of two luciferase reporters: (1) red-shifted firefly luciferase (RFLuc, 61 kDa) and (2) deep-sea shrimp nanoluciferase (nLuc, 19 kDa) in an orthotopic brain tumour model using GL261 mouse glioma cells in a syngeneic C57BL/6J mouse. We evaluated their suitability for monitoring of brain tumour growth kinetics by BLI. Mice were implanted with 2 × 104 either GL261, GL261-NLuc or GL261-RFLuc cells in the right cerebrum using a stereotaxic device. GL261-RFLuc tumours could only be detected by BLI for 2 weeks, and the mice did not die of disease (median overall survival; mOS &amp;gt; 35 days). In contrast, GL261-nLuc cells formed lethal brain tumours that grew in volume as determined by BLI. GL261-NLuc implanted mice exhibited mOS comparable to mice implanted with GL261 cells (24.5 days vs. 23 days). These observations indicated that nLuc is not significantly immunogenic in mouse brains and did not cause rejection of the tumour cells as observed with RFluc. Cytokine expression profiles and immune cell profiles of the tumour-bearing brain hemispheres were comparable between tumours from GL261 and GL261-NLuc. In contrast, GL261-RFLuc tumours exhibited elevated CD8+ T cells, particularly effector (CD62L¯CD44+) and granzyme B-expressing (GZB+) CD8+ T cells. GL261-nLuc formed stable glioma tumors comparable to the original GL261 mouse model and is a suitable in vivo preclinical model for evaluating experimental therapeutic interventions against gliomas, when paired with Promega’s proprietary fluoro-furimazine substrate.

Abstract A mixed Romano-Punic tomb discovered on private property to the west of Msallata contains many small stone chests containing cremated human remains. Some of these chests carry the name of the deceased written in the Latin or neo-Punic alphabet. Besides the stone chests, there are pottery jars containing animal remains. Figurative relief and religious symbols suggest the practice of rituals associated with the Tophet (sanctuary-necropolis) of Carthage. In addition to the stone chests and pottery urns there are many other objects that are typical of the grave goods usually buried with the Phoenician dead: oil lamps, tableware, coins, medals.

The concentrations of cadmium and lead in sewage sludge samples were determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrometric Method. Samples of sewage sludge were obtained from three sewage treatment plants localised in Middle Region of Libya (Misrata, Msallata and Tarh&uuml;nah cities). The results shows that, the mean levels of Cadmium for all regions are ranges from 81 to 123.4 ppm and these values are higher than the limitations for the international standard which are not registered more than 50 ppm (dry weight) in USA, Egypt and the EU countries. While, the lead concentrations are ranged from 8.0 to 189.2 ppm and all values are within the standard limits which graduated between (275&ndash;613) ppm.
