The two methods were selected among other methods used by hydrologists due to simplicity and popularity for application in arid and semi-arid areas like Egypt. The watershed delineation and streamlines for Ras Gharib region have been accomplished using ArcMap 10 GIS and the 1-arc second DEM which demonstrated three basins in the study area. The rainfall data points nearby the study area, extracted from the TRMM data, have been used as input for the Log-Pearson III distribution in order to calculate the design storm for different return periods (100, 50, 25, and 10 years). The results of applying the SCS model estimated the runoff depths as 19.86, 8.00, 2.32, and 0.06 mm for the different return periods, respectively. The total surface runoff volumes reached the study area are 34.78, 14.02, 4.07, and 0.11 Mm3, respectively for the selected return periods, whereas the total groundwater recharge volumes for the selected storm return periods are 58.16, 31.34, 18.14, 3.18 Mm3, respectively.展开更多

As a new cathode for rechargeable magnesium batteries,the material shows a reversible Mg2+ intercalation-deintercalation process. In 0.25 mol/L Mg(AlCl2EtBu) 2/THF electrolyte,MgFeSiO4 synthesized at 900°C can deliver a 125.1 mAh/g initial dis-charge capacity and a 91.4% capacity retention on the 20th cycle at a rate of 0.1C(about 15.6 mA/g) . The results show that MgFeSiO4 could be a good host for Mg2+ intercalation,and a potential cathode material for high-energy rechargeable magnesium batteries.展开更多
