In a recent paper [15], Saddeek introduced the so-called class of generalized strictly pseudo-contractive mappings and established some strong convergence theorems for the generalized modified Krasnoselskii iterative processes developed by Saddeek [15] for finding the minimum norm solutions of certain nonlinear equations when p ≥ 2 in the framework of uniformly convex Banach spaces. This paper develops the work presented in [15] by considering separately the case in which 1 p 2.

The incidence of obesity is rapidly increasing throughout the world. Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for a number of chronic diseases, including diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. This work presents a novel approach to study the activity of camel whey protein (WP) with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties as a cheap dietary protein substance extracted from camel milk to produce satiety and help in building muscles. Mice model suffering from dyslipidemia as a result of feeding on high fat-cholesterol diet for 8 weeks were administrated with either camel WP and/or rosuvastatin for 4 weeks. Dyslipidemia revealed significant increase in anthropometrical measurements, levels of glucose, insulin, cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, total leucocyte count, inflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species, accompanied by a significant elevation in activating transcription factor-3 and inducible nitric oxide synthase expressions. These alterations were correlated with a profound reduction in high-density lipoprotein, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha and adiponectin along with a decrease in liver and muscle mitochondrial proteins. Rosuvastatin treatment to mice suffering from dyslipidemia in combination with camel WP for 4 weeks ameliorated these parameters. Notably, animals treated with both camel WP and rosuvastatin exhibited a remarkable decrease in the incidence of dyslipidemia. In addition, camel WP succeeded to overcome the therapeutic drawback posed from rosuvastatin therapy alone with minimal side effects.

We propose a nodal discontinuous Galerkin method for solving the nonlinear Riesz space fractional Schrödinger equation and the strongly coupled nonlinear Riesz space fractional Schrödinger equations. These problems have been expressed as a system of low order dif- ferential/integral equations. Moreover, we prove, for both problems, L 2 stability and opti- mal order of convergence O (h N+1 ) , where h is space step size and N is polynomial degree. Finally, the performed numerical experiments confirm the optimal order of convergence

Twenty 2D seismic lines were interpreted with three well velocities and time-depth trace conversion to characterize the different stratigraphic tops of Komombo basin and to highlight the major structural elements. Five depth structure contour maps were constructed on the tops of Pre-Cambrian Basement, Neocomian, Aptian and Albian/Cenomanian sequences. The interpretations of depth structure contour maps show two main fault trends: NW-SE and NE to ENE directions. The NW-SE trend is the dominant one, creating a half-graben system with two major bounding faults. The northeast one is downthrown to the southwest, while the southwestern bounding fault is downthrown to the northeast. The restoration of the structure patterns and sediment fill evolution in Komombo basin is attempted using the 2D seismic lines in background, integrated with the well data (Al Baraka-1 and Komombo-3). A series of flattened profiles on top of Pre-Cambrian Basement, Neocomian, Barremian, Aptian, Albian/Cenomanian, Turonian, Coniacian/Santonian, and Campanian/Maastrichtian successions supported the identification of basin dimensions during its development through the main tectonic phases.
