Genetics’ Factors Affecting Progression of Diabetes Type II in the Egyptian Population

Objective/Contributions: This project aims mainly to find the distant genetic relationship between the Egyptian population and other populations worldwide for the genes associated with the 4 metabolic diseases ( Diabetes, Obesity, Hypertension, and Hyperlipidemia). First, we started by collecting data related to Diabetes and its relation to the other diseases from the 1k genome project. Our aim in

Lung Cancer Detection in Chest X-Ray Images Empowered by 3D Computed Tomography Deep Convolutional Radiomics (CXRClear)

Objective/Contributions: Cancer is treatable if it is discovered at an early stage, and lung cancer screening is a critical component in a preventive care protocol. Although CT imaging affords higher spatial resolution and 3D density information than digital chest X-rays, there are still limitations to having it as a cheap and fast method for rural areas outreach. These limitations are outlined in

Collaborative Project with the Centeral Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS)

Objective/Contributions: Statistics play a crucial role in the overall development policy-making process of countries by providing evidence for setting objectives, targets and priorities. The issue of great concern, however, has been how to collect data easily, cost-effectively and in a manner that allows easy data management, cleaning and analysis. Currently, manual paper-based data collection

AgriSem: Semantic Web Technologies for Agricultural Data Interoperability

Objective/Contributions: The amount and types of raw data generated within the agriculture domain are dramatically growing. However, these raw data in themselves are meaningless and isolated, and therefore may offer little value to the farmer. The Agricultural Research Center (ARC)and the Central Lab for Agricultural Expert Systems (CLAES) was established to enhance the productivity of knowledge

Numerical Simulation and Experimental Validation of New Design of Finned-tube Heat Exchanger for Tankless Water Heaters

In the mid-fifties, Egypt started to manufacture gas water heaters locally. In the early nineties, many home appliance companies flourished, until they reached nearly 15 companies. These companies manufacture more than 2 million gas heaters annually, and more than half are exported abroad (Trade map, 2018). Despite mass production, the burner, combustion zone, and heat exchanger are being imported

Gravity and Pressure Driven Flow of Molten Salt: The Case of the MATS Project

Molten salt is used as the thermal storage fluid at MATS which is a demonstration plant built in the North African desert area, inside the City for Science and Technology (SRTA-City), Borg El Arab, near Alexandria in Egypt. ENEA was the first organization in the world to demonstrate the “new” CSP (concentrated solar power) technology where molten salts up to 550°C are used as HTF (heat transfer

Research Project

Developing Robot Assisted Therapy for Upper Limb Using Virtual Reality and Machine Learning

The proposed device aims to optimize the physical rehabilitation experience for patients with upper limb dysfunctionality via the usage of virtual reality games and customized therapy programs. The system will be provided with a variety of gaming scenarios for each patient and the movement will be determined based on the patient’s condition. Objective/Contributions: The proposed research aims to

Interactive Smart Application for Museums Education (iSAME)

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) play a huge role in developing and updating the functions and innovative activities for a promising economic performance of museums and cultural institutions, allowing museums to achieve remarkable success and reach their main goals of attracting people and spreading historical knowledge. As a result of the increasing numbers of technologies and
Research Project

Metamaterial Inspired Radio Frequency Components

Objective/Contributions: Deeper understanding and control of modelled unit cells with the aim of several novel applications (e.g. High-Performance Metasurfaces). Outcomes: A high-performance transmission mode deeply subwavelength metasurface for polarization rotation applications was proposed, designed, analyzed, simulated, fabricated and characterized in an antenna anechoic chamber.
