The technique of plant tissue culture has been used to In vitro micropropagation of Spilanthes acmella (L.) Murr. It is an ornamental and medicinal plant not cultivated in Iraq. Seeds were sterilized and cultuared on full strength Murashige and Skoog medium(1962)(MS). Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), 6- furfuryl aminopurine (Kin.) growth regulators were used at the Initiation stage.The combination between IAA and Kin. was used in multiplication stage. IAA was used for rooting the shoots. Results showed that 1.5% sodium hypochlorite for 15 min was very effective for disinfecting and survival. Nodes exhibited relatively highest response as compared with apical meristems and leaflets culture. Supplying the culture medium with 1 mg/L. Kin. was effective for lateral shoot induction. The mean number of shoots obtained from nodes were 4.12 with a mean length 2.70 cm. Adding Kin. at 0.5, 1.0 or 1.5 and IAA at 0.1 mg/L. to the growth medium was effective for multiplication. Mean number of the developed shoots were 13.60, 14.20, 12.00 respectively. The best result of rooting stage was achieved by half- strength MS medium without growth regulators which produced 27.50 roots/ plantlet with mean length 3.90 cm. Results of acclimatization stage showed that addition of 1:1 peat moss and loamy soil gave the highest rate of survival(100)% after 4 weeks of acclimatization. This study showed the ability of in vitro propagation of Spilanthes acmella (L.) Murr.
The university course timetable problem (UCTP) is typically a combinatorial optimization problem. Manually achieving a useful timetable requires many days of effort, and the results are still unsatisfactory. unsatisfactory. Various states of art methods (heuristic, meta-heuristic) are used to satisfactorily solve UCTP. However, these approaches typically represent the instance-specific solutions. The hyper-heuristic framework adequately addresses this complex problem. This research proposed Particle Swarm Optimizer-based Hyper Heuristic (HH PSO) to solve UCTP efficiently. PSO is used as a higher-level method that selects low-level heuristics (LLH) sequence which further generates an optimal solution. The proposed a

Show MoreThe interest in green energy in recent years is very noticeable, as this energy is a very important alternative that can replace fuel in many applications, most notably electric power generation, so work must be done to develop a form of this energy such as wind energy by working on the development of turbines. The DMST method provided by Qblade software is an integrated tool for making a simulation of a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). The simulation was carried out on vertical axis wind turbines, designing turbine blades according to symmetrical NACA0018, and calculating some parameters such as power, torque and power coefficient. It is found that this type of turbine can be improved by treating the blade edges that cont

The presence of antibiotic residues such as ciprofloxacin (CIPR) in an aqueous environment is dangerous when their concentrations exceed the allowable. Therefore, eliminating these residues from the wastewater becomes an essential issue to prevent their harm. In this work, the potential of efficient adsorption of ciprofloxacin antibiotics was studied using eco-friendly ZSM-5 nanocrystals‑carbon composite (NZC). An inexpensive effective natural binder made of the sucrose-citric acid mixture was used for preparing NZC. The characterization methods revealed the successful preparation of NZC with a favorable surface area of 103.739 m2/g, and unique morphology and functional groups. Investigating the ability of NZC for adsorbing CIPR antibioti

The local and global stability of all equilibria of the model are analyzed. The conditions for occurrence of local bifurcation in the proposed epidemic model are established. Finally, numerical simulation is used to confirm our obtained analytical results and specify the control set of parameters that affect the dynamics of the model.
The authors introduced and addressed several new subclasses of the family of meromorphically multivalent -star-like functions in the punctured unit disk in this study, which makes use of several higher order -derivatives. Many fascinating properties and characteristics are extracted systematically for each of these newly identified function classes. Distortion theorems and radius problems are among these characteristics and functions. A number of coefficient inequalities for functions belonging to the subclasses are studied, and discussed, as well as a suitable condition for them is set. The numerous results are presented in this study and the previous works on this
