Geologic investigation on the basement rocks exposed around Wadi Shait revealed that they constitute part of a fold thrust nappes comprising Gardan ophiolitic mélange structural unit (GOM) exposed in a tectonic contact against the Shait granite complex (SGC). Both units are brittly to ductily deformed, and are partially intruded by the calc-alkaline Hamash granodiorite, Dokhan volcanics, post-orogenic alkali granite and the Natash volcanics. Litholgically, the GOM builds up a stack of sliced sequence comprising low-grade regionally metamorphosed epiclastic, volcanogenic pyroclastic, basic and intermediate lava flows and structurally topped by metagabbro and hornblende metagabbro slices. On the other hand, the SGC is composed mainly of mesocratic tonalite, minor leucocratic trondhjemite, granodiorite and monzogranite. The latter occurs as dyke-like masses intruding the outcrops of the other rock varieties. This lithologic association denotes that the SGC constitutes a widely evolved complex in which the early members are deep-seated, calc-alkaline and I-type whereas the later members are shallower and clearly intrusive. Field data revealed that the stacking nature and consequently uplifting of the SGC were related to late orogenic extension associated with shortening phases controlled by Najd transformed faults. Detailed field mapping and petrographic studies carried out on the Wadi Shait area show evidence of polyphase deformation (D1-D4) affecting the SGC in addition to three metamorphic events (M1,M2 and M3) affecting the GOM.

Febuxostat is an antihyperuricemic drug used for the treatment of hyperuricemia in patients with chronic gout. Hence, in this work, there was an impetus to construct a sensitive electrochemical sensor for the detection of febuxostat (FBX) drug in human plasma of patients. A novel electrochemical sensor was successfully fabricated based on gold nanoparticles decorated functionalized carbon nanofibers AuNPs@f-CNFs modified pencil graphite rod electrode (PGRE) to determine FBX drug. The new sensor showed a superior performance in terms of a wide linear range (0.03–77 µM) with high sensitivity (5.9 μA μM⁻¹ cm⁻²). The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) of FBX were deliberated to be 12.7 nM and 42.5 nM, respectively. Furthermore, electrochemical sensing of FBX in the presence of ascorbic acid, dopamine and uric acid was examined. The fabricated electrode directly paved the new way for the electrochemical quantification of FBX in pharmaceutical formulations, plasma of patients with gout and human biological fluids. Finally, the ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) method was performed to validate the reliability of the proposed method.

In this paper the concepts of fuzzifying β −irresolute functions and fuzzifying β-compact spaces are characterized in terms of fuzzifying β-open sets and some of their properties are discussed.

New classes of sets called Ω-closed sets and Ωs-closed sets are introduced and studied. Also, we introduce and study Ω-continuous functions and Ωs-continuous functions and prove pasting lemma for these functions. Moreover, we introduce classes of topological spaces called Ω-T_1/2 and Ω-T_s.

In this paper we introduce and study the concept of semi compactness in the framework of fuzzifying topology. We use the finite intersection property to give a characterization of the fuzzifying semi compactness.

In this paper, the theory of γ -convergence, and cγ -convergence on nets
and filters is established in fuzzifying topology. Some important and interesting
results in fuzzifying topology are obtained by means of the theory.

In (2000), Zahran has introduced the concepts of -open sets, almost continuity and -continuity in fuzzifying topology. In this note we show that Lemma 2.2 and Theorem 2.4 are incorrect.

In the present paper we introduce and study pre-T₀-, pre-R₀-, pre-T₁-, pre-R₁-, pre-T₂ (pre-Hausdorff)-, pre-T₃ (pre-regularity)-,  pre-T₄ (pre-normality), )-, pre-strongT₃- and pre-strong T₄ -separation axioms in fuzzifying topology and
give some of their characterizations as well as the relations of these axioms and other separation axioms in fuzzifying topology introduced by Shen [7].

We introduce the concept of a fuzzifying proximity and study some properties of fuzzifying proximities - in particular we show how a fuzzifying proximity on
a set X naturally induces a fuzzifying topology on the same set. Besides, the concept of a strong fuzzifying uniformity (which is a certain modification of Ying’s concept of a fuzzifying uniformity ([4])) is introduced. Some relations between fuzzifying proximities, strong fuzzifying uniformities and corresponding fuzzifying topologies are established. In particular, we show that the fuzzifying topology induced by the fuzzifying proximity and the fuzzifying topology induced by the strong fuzzifying uniformity are coincide.

The concepts of fuzzy cγ-open sets and fuzzy cγ-continuity are introduced and studied in fuzzifying topology and by making use of these concepts, some decompositions of fuzzy continuity are introduced.
