This document contains personal and professional information about Hesham Mohamed Adel Mohamed Mustafa El-malah. It includes his name, contact information, education history, work experience, skills, and safety training. Specifically, it details that he has a B.Sc. in Power Mechanical Engineering from Alexandria University, over 10 years of experience in mechanical maintenance and project engineering roles in cement plants, offshore drilling, and other industrial fields, and qualifications in Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, safety training, and languages.
The document outlines a classroom activity called "Big Paper Activity" where students are divided into groups and given a large piece of chart paper. Each group is assigned a different discussion question written on their chart paper. Students silently write their own responses to the question as well as comments responding to other students' answers. They then rotate to other groups' papers to continue the written discussion. Finally, they reconvene to their original paper to review comments and silently debate questions before sharing with the class. The activity aims to give every student a voice through a written, silent group discussion format.
Galileo is the European Union's global navigation satellite system that provides highly accurate positioning and timing information. It aims to give civilian users access to high-quality PNT services across the entire world independently of other systems. The system will consist of 30 satellites organized into three orbital planes. Four Galileo In-Orbit Validation satellites have already been launched to test the system architecture and performance before the full operational deployment. The European Commission, European GNSS Agency, and European Space Agency oversee development and funding of Galileo.

This document summarizes a study that investigated the retention of the aroma compound trans-anethole by single and double layered films based on gelatin. Single films used gelatin enriched with trans-anethole, while double films had a bottom gelatin layer carrying the aroma and a top gellan layer. Drying conditions like temperature, time and film thickness affected aroma retention. Double films generally retained more aroma than single films under the same conditions, indicating the top gellan layer acted as an effective aroma barrier during drying.
