Availability and Feasibility of Demand Side Management Projects in Egypt
Demand Side Management (DSM) results in energy consumption reduction accompanied by lower cost according to the feasibility study for each project. In Egypt, DSM projects are scarce due to lack of good studies proving their underlining profitability. This paper studies the major types of DSM programs and their availability to be executed in Egypt. Tips to measure feasibility for these projects are given using the Net Present Value (NPV) Internal Rate of Return (IRR) Profitability Index (PI) Payback Period (PP) and Discounted Payback Period(DPP) Different factors affecting the projects to study like the inflation factor and the discount rate are studied. This paper also investigates a new sustainable way for natural illumination called the sun tunnel. This method is presented with its different types: rigid and flexible as a case study.

FINANCIAL EVALUATION OF AQUAPONICS PROJECTS AND THE FEASIBILITY OF ADOPTING IT IN EGYPT
Despite the role of the agricultural sector in the Egyptian national economy, the agricultural production falls short of total consumption needs in Egypt, which led to start thinking to intensify the production of food by vertical expansion beside conventional agriculture through the use of modern technologies, such as aquaponics as soilless agriculture, which the Egyptian farmers are not familiar with, so the paper aims to evaluate the proposed aquaponics projects in terms of economic assessment, financial assessment, SWOT analysis and to identify the level of technology adoption of the aquaponics agriculture and from which information sources they obtain their knowledge and to identify the requirements of dissemination of aquaponics technology and the most important problems facing them and proposals to solve. The research methodology used for achieving our objective was based on some statistical and financial tools, such as percentages, correlation, and regression model, as well as the feasibility study for the aquaponics agriculture, where the paper concluded the following results: The main source of information for the aquaponics derived from the Central Laboratory for Agricultural Climate at the Ministry of Agriculture. Most of the respondents belong to the low adoption category with the impact of the exposure degree to information sources and the risk willingness on the degree of adoption of the Aquaponics technology. The results showed that the payback period of the second category projects is shorter than the first and third category projects. By comparing the IRR with the alternative opportunity to invest at a discount rate of 23% and 25% showed the project's ability to bear the adverse changes. By comparing the return on investment (ROI) the internal rate of return (IRR) and the Payback period (PBP) between the three categories, the second category projects has been proved and better results achieved at the level of the financial measures used. Comparison of break even analysis of the three categories shows that the second category achieves the common break even point in terms of quantity and value before the first and third categories. The most important problems faced the adopters of aquaponics were the interruption of electricity and high risk rate significantly when implement the aquaponics project and the lack of funding for the implementation of the aquaponics project and the lack of knowledge of responders about who can resort to them to design and supervision of the aquaponics units. The most important proposals to overcome such problems are raising farmers awareness of the need to provide generators in sufficient numbers to use in the event of power outages and the interest of the authorities responsible for training courses for farmers on the aquaponics and to inform them of the schedule of these courses and provide brochures and booklets on the aquaponic technology and offer Facilitator loans to farmers to finance aquaponics projects and educating farmers about the most important entities where they can resort to them to designing and supervising aquaponic units.

Technical and economical/financial feasibility analyses of flared gas recovery in Egypt from oil and gas industry from international/national oil companies' perspectives
Egypt is an importer of energy, yet 5.7 MMSCM (200 MMSCF) of natural gas is flared every day and causes a negative environmental impact. Recovery of such significant amount is crucial and accordingly there are three alternative solutions to recover these gases, namely LPG/condensate extraction, recycling, or power generation. These alternatives were studied technically, financially, and economically, and results indicate that investors' orientation and vision play a vital role in decision making especially when production sharing agreement is applied. The conflict of interest among investors was tackled and applied on a case study from different perspectives. Results indicate that the added value itself differs from one investor to another. In the case studied, international oil companies "IOCs" prefer recycling to achieve reasonable net present value "NPV" up to $40 million. National oil companies "NOCs" prefer generating power to achieve maximum net value added "NVA" up to $58 million, to maximize the environmental and social added value. The least feasible option is extracting LPG/condensate from the flared gas although Egypt is LPG importer. The conflict of interest and current oil prices are the reasons behind postponing such projects. So, Egyptian government should impose policies to reduce flared gas emissions and maximize benefits through these projects and this can be done by compromising with "IOCs" to ensure maximum financial/social benefits.

European Mediterranean Postgraduate Program on Organ Donation and Transplantation Project (EMPODaT) Results of a 3 Years' Project in Egypt, Lebanon and Morocco
Introduction EMPODaT's aim was to cooperate in a higher education program of Organ Donation and Transplantation in Egypt, Lebanon and Morocco in accordance with the European Space for Higher Education guidelines. It was a TEMPUS product (an Education, Audio visual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) program) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][16] and the consortium was constituted by 4 European Univ. 1 European Foundation and 6 beneficiary Univ. from Egypt, Lebanon and Morocco (table1) Methods Project evaluation[8] was done in 3 levels: Donation Transplantation Diagnosis (DTD) Training[9][10] and Quality. DTD was carried out before designing the postgraduate curricula, following different adapted questionnaire methodologies and conducted in 3 parts: "Existing trainings online feasibility" "Specific training needs" and "Donation/Transplantation activity university requirements" Training (available in English and French) was designed in 1 academic year of 30 ECTS credits employing blended learning methodology[11] Pre and Post training tests, self assessing activities, and traineeship activity charts were used to evaluate the students. For Quality evaluation, assessment questionnaires and semi structured interviews were conducted[12] Results DTD Part I showed a lack of specific training held by Univ. in the 3 countries and good internet accessibility in the 6 Univ. Part II, answered by 444 health care students (61% male) reported 62% low knowledge on Donation and 72% on Transplantation, being donor management and surgical procedures the less known (77% 82% Part III detailed the current transplant/donation activity[13] (Deceased/Total kidneys transpl. 2013: Egypt 0/1800; Lebanon 10/109; Morocco 6/22)[15][16] and related figures (Num. of transpl. centres: Egypt 37; Lebanon 13; Morocco 6) in 2011 13. 90 students were trained (15 per Univ. 39W 51M, 79 doctors (23% ICU, 22% surgeons) and 11 nurses. Significant differences were found among improvement knowledge between the countries (fig1) The main score in the project quality evaluation was 4.2 (scale 1 5) being the level of local coordinators the highest scored 4.48. Conclusion Despite the differences detected on donation transplantation activity in the 3 countries, there was a need of specific training in all. Knowledge improvement in organ donation was greater than in transplantation topics. Morocco was the most beneficiated country obtaining better final scores albeit from lower basis. The project was overall highly appraised by students and local coordinators. Patricia Peralta Lasso. Francesc Marti. Gloria Paez. Ahmed Ali Morsy Ali. Ashraf Adel Mosharafa. Mohamed Adel Bakr.

A Feasibility Study of the Greater Middle East Project and the Islamic Awakening in the Middle East
The Greater Middle East Project was put forth by Colin Powel, the Minister of Defense at George Bush Administration on 12 September, 2002. The objectives which have been posed for this plan include: Economic reform, promotion of human rights, establishment of democracy and freedom of election in the Middle East which could be implemented by different instruments and tactics. Of course, it is necessary to detach a division between the announced (explicit) objectives of this plan and hidden objectives of America, because in developing this plan, attempts have been made to have progressive and philanthropic objectives as a cover to its real objectives. The designers of this tricky plan have other objectives in mind. Among these objectives, one may refer to the supply of the security of production and display of energy for America, maintaining the survival of Zionist regime and confrontation with the Political Islam. The question is: What is the nature of recent changes of revolution in the Middle East and to what direction do they incline? The present research has been organized in an analytic descriptive method and the findings of the research indicate that despite the claims of the analysts and politicians of America to fulfill the Greater Middle East, the colorful presence of Islamic streams at the top of recent changes of the Middle East in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen and the presence of religious leaders at the top of the revolutionaries specify that the nature of recent changes is the fulfillment of Islamic Awakening and defeat of the Greater Middle East Project.

Feasibility assessment of diesel fuel production in Egypt using coal and biomass: Integrated novel methodology
Diesel fuel shortage is one of the main energy crisis components in Egypt as it is heavily employed in the electricity and transportation sectors. CtL (Coal to Liquids) and CBtL (combined Coal and Biomass to Liquids) are promising routes which can be currently applied for diesel production in Egypt. This paper will propose a novel methodology to drive the CBtL/CtL routes forward in Egypt. The methodology is based on using Miscanthus as biomass material and utilizing the Egyptian "Maghara" coal. It recommends some measures to improve project economics and simultaneously provide solutions to other strategic national problems including the poor sewage infrastructure and the unutilized desert areas. Eight scenarios were studied; four for each route with variable production capacities (450, 900, 1,350, 1,800 tdiesel/d) To evaluate the scenarios, the diesel price was fixed at $50 below its current import price, and the corresponding discount rate and payback period were calculated. At high capacities, both routes are economically feasible (discounted interest rate of about 17% and less sensitive to the price variation of equipment, raw materials and byproducts. Implementing the CBtL route can be regarded as a strategic project as besides being economically feasible, it offers crucial social and environmental benefits.

Rabbit tibial periosteum and saphenous arteriovenous vascular bundle as an in vivo bioreactor to construct vascularized tissue engineered bone: a feasibility study.
The aim of this project was to construct vascularized tissue engineered living bone with an autologous vascular network by means of a rabbit bioreactor in vivo. The key components of the in vivo bioreactor for bone formation were the vascularized tibial periosteum and the saphenous vascular bundle. Beta tricalcium phosphate (b TCP) scaffolds were implanted into the in vivo bioreactor (vascular pedicle implantation and vascularized periosteum encapsulation) At 4 weeks postsurgery, new bone formation was mainly "cartilage bone inducing" in the inner periosteum, and was primarily seen in the outer aspects of the scaffold with some amount in the middle part as well. Microvascular infusion showed that direct revascularization of b TCP was obtained by means of vascular implantation. Triple staining results showed a large amount of blue collagen fibers. Vascular endothelial growth factor immunohistochemical staining displayed endothelial cells of new blood vessels in bone tissue. The bioreactor established in this study can be used to prepare tissue engineered bone with a vascular network.
