The Aqueducts and Water Supply of Ancient Jerusalem. [PDF]
Ground WaterAbstract Jerusalem, a city held sacred by three of the world's great religions, is located in a semi‐arid climate, and its occupation through the millennia has only been made possible by the construction of an extensive and ingenious water supply infrastructure. The settlement of Jerusalem was first made possible by water from the Gihon Spring.

Evaluation of Water seepage Along Proposed Baghdad Metro Tunnel Across Tigris River
Al-Nahrain Journal for Engineering Sciences, 2021 Water seepage can cause serious problems in geotechnical engineering especially for construction under the water level. Baghdad metro tunnel is one of the leading vital projects to solve the major problem of crowding roadways in a highly population increase city like Baghdad.

Journal of Engineering, 2023 Baghdad Metro is a vital project to fulfill the rapidly increased traffic volume requirements. The proposed metro will connect both sides of Baghdad City, passing under the Tigris River. This study is employed finite elements software (PLAXIS 3D) to evaluate the seepage force developed around the sub-river segment during different construction stages ...

Reducing stress and stereotypic behaviors in captive female pygmy slow lorises (Nycticebus pygmeaus)
American Journal of Primatology, Volume 85, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023 Reducing stress and stereotypic behaviors in captive female pygmy slow lorises (Nycticebus pygmeaus) with social housing. Abstract Improving captive conditions of pygmy slow lorises (Nekaris and Nijman have recently suggested that the pygmy slow loris should be called the pygmy loris and is distinctive enough to warrant a new genus, Xanthonycticebu ...

Ecological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 4, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Infectious diseases pose a significant threat to global health and biodiversity. Yet, predicting the spatiotemporal dynamics of wildlife epizootics remains challenging. Disease outbreaks result from complex nonlinear interactions among a large collection of variables that rarely adhere to the assumptions of parametric regression modeling.

Effects of a modern exhibit design on captive tiger welfare
Zoo Biology, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 371-382, May/June 2023., 2023 Tigers given access to a trail system during the day decreased stereotypic behavior and increased activity. Access to a trail system overnight increased the frequency of movement. Abstract Offering captive animals larger, more complex spaces are thought to benefit their welfare.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.ABSTRACT Faeces serve as a widely used non‐invasive material in wildlife studies, from which host DNA can be enriched for high‐throughput sequencing. However, the characteristics of faecal DNA sequencing, particularly the relationship between sequencing volume and genotyping accuracy or genomic coverage, have remained unclear.

Megafaunal Rodents: Behaviour and Ecological Roles of Southeast Asian Forest Porcupines
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Southeast Asian porcupines (Malayan porcupine, Hystrix brachyura; brush‐tailed porcupine, Atherurus macrourus) performed at least four important ecological roles in a Malaysian rainforest. Burrows of both species were used in several ways by at least 22 animal species, while the soil above was potentially good sites for seedling recruitment. Porcupines

Hydro‐Insurgency: Weaponization of Water Resources and Infrastructure in Northeast Syria
World Water Policy, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 924-938, November 2025.ABSTRACT This article examines the strategic weaponization of water resources by Turkey‐backed armed groups in Northeast Syria (NES) within the broader context of the Syrian civil war. As the conflict evolved, water infrastructure—dams, rivers, and irrigation systems—became central to warfare, governance, and foreign agendas. The article introduces the
