Female reproductive aging is a normal phase of life that eventually leads to menopause and reproductive senescence. The current experimental investigation was intended to study zinc supplementation effects on early embryonic development and neonates in 26-28 weeks old female mice. In this investigation, 80 mature female mice were used that were divided into two groups of forty each. Two control groups received distilled water, while two Zn groups were given 0.115 mg/kg/day Zn orally daily during 2-3 estrous cycles. The female mice were all mated with adult males. Twenty female mice from both the control and Zn groups were euthanized by CO₂ gas inhalation, and then a longitudinal incision in the abdomen of each female

     Green synthesis methods have emerged as favorable techniques for the synthesis of nano-oxides due to their simplicity, cost-effectiveness, eco-friendliness, and non-toxicity. In this study, Nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO-NPs) were synthesized using the aqueous extract of Laurus nobilis leaves as a natural capping agent. The synthesized NiO-NPs were employed as an adsorbent for the removal of Biebrich Scarlet (BS) dye from aqueous solution using adsorption technique. Comprehensive characterization of NiO-NPs was performed using various techniques such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett and Teller (BET) analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Add

     The goal of this paper is to show the kinematic characteristics of gaseous stellar dynamics using scaling coefficient relationships (such as Tully-Fisher) in different spiral galaxies. We selected a sample of types of spiral morphology  (116 early, 150 intermediate, and 146 late) from previous literature work, and used statistical software (statistic-win-program) to find out the associations of multiple factors under investigation, such as the main kinematic properties of the gaseous-stellar (mass, luminosity, rotational speed, and baryons) in different types of spiral galaxies. We concluded that there is a robust positive connection between Log V_rot.max.) and Log M_star(B-V), as well as between Log V_r

     It is necessary to follow new strategies for the isolation of bacteria with unique characteristics from novel sources during the search for new antimicrobial compounds. Geobacillus thermoleovorans strain Ir1 (JQ912239), a novel thermophilic bacterium, which was isolated from soil in Iraq (Basrah and Baghdad)    showed a good ability to utilize hydrocarbon compounds. This study objective was to demonstrate G. thermoleovorans Ir1 potential antibacterial capabilities.

     Mala GX (Ground Explorer) conducted the survey using two different antennas: 450 MHz and 750 MHz. Data for the 450 MHz antenna were collected in a grid, while data for the 750 MHz antenna were collected in parallel profiles at the same location above the 450 MHz profiles. After processing the data using GPR slice software, possible reflections of archaeological walls buried at different depths and with different extensions of 13 m, 7 m, 6 m, 5m, 3 and 2 m were identified. The reflections were clear and high in the 450 MHz antenna with a depth penetration of 3 meters and unclear and weak in the 750 MHz antenna with a depth penetration of 1 meter. When comparing the two antennas, it is possible to notice a match in the reflection

     This scientific paper presents two novel lanthanide metal complexes [Sm (III) and Ce (IV)] synthesized through a series of reactions involving organic ligand 8-[3-(pyrazoyl)azo]adenine (PAA). Ligand (PAA) and their complexes were characterized using various analytical techniques, including C.H.N.S elemental analysis, magnetic measurement, X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, SEM, (TGA) UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, and HNMR analysis. These techniques were employed to support the mode of binding and geometrical structure for ligand (PAA) and its Lanthanide (Ln) complexes. The FTIR and HNMR spectral results showed that   (PAA) acts as neutral N,N-bidentate with [Sm (III) and Ce (IV)]. The geometric shape of the synthe

     In this article, the effects of physical flow parameters on squeezed fluid between parallel plates are explored through the Darcy porous channel when fluid is moving as a result of the upper plate being squeezed towards the stretchable lower plate, such as velocity slip, thermal slip, solutal slip, thermal stratification parameter, solutal stratification parameter, squeezing number, Darcy number, Prandtl number, and Schmidt number. The governing equations are transformed into a nonlinear ordinary differential equation using the appropriate similarity transformations. The resulting equations are solved by using the perturbation iteration method (PIT) to produce a convergent analytical solution with high accuracy. The phenomena of

     This work compares the changes in optical and structural properties of cerium oxide (CeO₂) when doped with different concentrations (3%,5%,7%, and 9%) of two oxides, In₂O₃ and Eu₂O₃. X-ray diffraction and spectrophotometry were employed in the visible, ultraviolet, and near-infrared regions. The findings demonstrated that CeO₂ doped with In₂O₃ and Eu₂O₃ thin films were polycrystalline and had a cubic structure. The crystal size increased from 20.5 to 32.15 when Eu₂O₃ doping ratio increased from 0% to 7% and then decreased to 28.46 nm at 9%. While the crystal size showed an increase from 20.5 to 21

     In this paper, we investigate the influence of the rotation and magnetic field on the peristaltic flow of the Bingham fluid in an asymmetric channel with a porous medium under the long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximation assumptions.                                                                                                                           

The perturbation method and the Mathematica program for solving nonlinear partial differential equations are used to couple the momentum equations with the rotational and magnetic field equations. The fluid is considered to be subject to

In this paper we, introduce and study a new class of modules called pure hollow (Pr-hollow) and pure-lifting (Pr-lifting). We give a fundamental, properties of these concept.  also, we, introduce some conditions under which the quotient and direct sum of Pr-lifting modules is Pr-lifting.

     This article aims to determine the time-dependent heat coefficient together with the temperature solution for a type of semi-linear time-fractional inverse source problem by applying a method based on the finite difference scheme and Tikhonov regularization. An unconditionally stable implicit finite difference scheme is used as a direct (forward) solver. While by the MATLAB routine lsqnonlin from the optimization toolbox, the inverse problem is reformulated as nonlinear least square minimization and solved efficiently. Since the problem is generally incorrect or ill-posed that means any error inclusion in the input data will produce a large error in the output data. Therefore, the Tikhonov regularization technique is ap

     Deep learning (DL) plays a significant role in several tasks, especially classification and prediction. Classification tasks can be efficiently achieved via convolutional neural networks (CNN) with a huge dataset, while recurrent neural networks (RNN) can perform prediction tasks due to their ability to remember time series data. In this paper, three models have been proposed to certify the evaluation track for classification and prediction tasks associated with four datasets (two for each task). These models are CNN and RNN, which include two models (Long Short Term Memory (LSTM)) and GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit). Each model is employed to work consequently over the two mentioned tasks to draw a road map of deep learning models f

     We provide a q-operator form solution to a generalized q-difference equation involving (r+s+2)-variables. We introduce a q-polynomials Ψ_n^((A,B)) (x,y,c|q). The generating function, two Rogers formulas, and two types of Srivastava-Agarwal generating functions for the polynomials Ψ_n^((A,B)) (x,y,c|q) are established using the q-difference equation technique.

     This article suggests designing an intelligent system to rehabilitate criminals in smart cities, which consists of two categories: the first category suggests a “smart social system," which suggests managing the behaviors (good or bad) of individuals as the root of crime committing. To manage any criminal behavior, we proposed electronic recording of the criminal behavior as the first step, then submitting the criminal with its behavior under proposed rehabilitation theories as the second step to examine the behavior enhancement. This rehabilitation system depends on the prize-and-penalty principle. The penalty in this system is a suspended sentence with community services and fines instead of prison punishment. The second pro

     Traditionally, real estate prices were determined based on demand and supply. As the real estate market was  unregulated and underdeveloped, brokers and real estate builders had an upper hand in determining the unit prices of residential houses in Abu Dhabi. A pricing gap was eventually noticed. This was a challenge. There is a delay in updating the real estate websites and portal information. Therefore, the need for accurate forecasting of prices has become urgent. With a variety of use case scenarios for machine learning concepts, this paper is dedicated to using the concepts of machine learning to predict the real estate prices of Aldar in the Abu Dhabi region, which comprises 511 residential units, 15 retail shops, and one

Cadmium sulfide quantum dots were synthesized and deposited on glass substrates by chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique using cadmium sulfate and thiourea solutions in the presence of a 4,4’-(1,2-ethanediyldinitrilo)bis-(2-pentanone) (EDDBP) tetradentate ligand as a complexing agent. The order of reagents addition was varied to deposit films that were characterized for their surface morphological, optical, structural, and solid-state properties using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), a UV-visible spectrophotometer, an X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) analyses. The optimal condition for film deposition using the norma

     The reliability in stress–strength model (s–s) is estimated in this article when the system has parallel and series components subject to one of the stresses and it follows generalized exponential distribution by taking via different estimation methods, namely the maximum likelihood estimation, unbiased estimation, moment estimation and shrinkage estimation. Also, the Mont Carlo method is used to compare these methods under mean squared error.

 The data fusion process includes merging two or more pieces of information obtained from different sensors. Satellite image fusion research aims to create a new image by combining two images captured by different sensors using various methodologies. In this research, image sharpening tools were used to combine a hyperspectral image with a low spatial resolution captured by a Hyperion sensor mounted on the Earth Observation 1 (EO-1) satellite with a grayscale high spatial resolution image captured by Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM +) sensor mounted on Landsat-8 (resampling first one to ensure equal spatial resolution of both images). In addition, three techniques were adopted for implementing the Fusion mechanism: the Principal Comp

     Escherichia coli is gram negative bacteria and represents a typical resident of the digestive systems of both humans and animals. The stability and equilibrium of the luminal microbial flora are significantly influenced by E. coli. The Escherichia coli uropathogenic-specific protein (Usp) represents type of genotoxins produced by uropathogenic E. coli rather than fecal E. coli isolates. In the current study E. coli was isolated from urine and stool and usp gene was detected in it.   Sensitivity test was evaluated by using different types of antibiotics and the usp gene was detected by PCR in all bacterial isolates. Antibiotics sensitivity test showed variable degrees of sensitivity and resistance. High percentage of sensitivit

     The aim of this paper is to define new concepts, namely a homogenous system of difference equations x(n+1)=Bx(n)  where  B is a matrix of real numbers, which is called P-semi homogenous of order m if there exists a non-zero matrix A and integer number m such that the following equation holds: F (A(c)x(n))= 〖P(A(c))〗^m F(x(n)), Where F is a function,  m and  P are integer numbers and c is a real number. This definition is a generalization to the (3×3)-semi-homogeneous system of difference equations of order m. Special cases are studied of this definition and illustrative examples are given and some characterizations of this definition are also given. The necessary and sufficient conditions for a homogenous system of diff

Viral load of COVID-19 can be concluded from the cycle threshold (Ct) values measured by RT-PCR test performed on suspected samples. SARS-CoV2 viral load has not been standardized yet to reflect the outcome of COVID-19 infection. This cross-sectional study was performed to detect the frequency of SARS-CoV2 among suspected patients and the correlation of viral RNA load represented by cycle threshold (Ct) values with patients’ clinical presentation (disease severity), comorbidities and demographic data.

A total of 520 participants suspected to have SARS-CoV2 infection were enrolled. After filling a questionnaire, a nasopharyngeal swab was collected from each patient and subjected to RT-PCR with the use of specific primers. Ct valu

     In this paper, the class of meromorphic multivalent functions of the form by using fractional differ-integral operators is introduced. We get Coefficients estimates, radii of convexity and star likeness. Also closure theorems and distortion theorem for the class ,  is calculaed.

     Learning from imbalanced data has been a focus of studies for more than two decades of continuous development. Training data is considered imbalanced when the size of the positive (minority) class is neglected because of the large size of the negative (majority) class, in addition to the problem of deviating distributions of binary tasks. The appearance of big data brings new problems and challenges to the imbalance problem. Big Data announces the challenges with 5V: volume, velocity, veracity, value, and variety. This study relied on dividing the solution to the problem of data imbalance into three levels: data level, algorithm level, and hybrid approaches. First, the standard solutions for this problem that were proposed were

     A geographic information system (GIS) is a very effective management and analysis tool. Geographic locations rely on data. The use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) for the interpretation of natural resource data has been shown to be beneficial. Back-propagation neural networks are one of the most widespread and prevalent designs. The combination of geographic information systems with artificial neural networks provides a method for decreasing the cost of landscape change studies by shortening the time required to evaluate data. Numerous designs and kinds of ANNs have been created; the majority of them are PC-based service domains. Using the ArcGIS Network Analyst add-on, you can locate service regions around any network site

    In this work, the right coprime factor for balancing and truncating unstable systems is extended to parameter-varying multidimensional systems employing recent works on coprime factor model reduction of one-dimensional uncertain systems. Since the balanced truncation method cannot be applied directly to unstable systems, state feedback gains should be computed and incorporated in order to stabilize the given system and to be able to apply the balanced truncation technique via defining the so-called stable coprime factor, as coprime factorization overcomes the stability condition required for model reduction. Parameter-dependent state feedback and parameter-dependent Gramians are considered in this work yielding less conservative t

     Burn infections are a serious concern for patients with burn injuries, as they can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. The present study was designed to evaluate the chitosan activity against five pathogens collected from burn infections (Escherichia coli ZE15, Acinetobacter bummani ZA2, Klebsiella pneumonia ZK3 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ZP17, Staphylococcus aureus ZS2). Chitosan was produced in solid-state fermentation using corn meal supplemented with 2% of shrimp shell chitin. The degree of deacetylation of chitosan was 79.5% and the FT-IR spectrum (4000 to 400) cm-1 gave IR spectra similar to that of the commercial chitosan. The produced chitosan showed a significant inhibitory ability fr

     In this research investigation, a total of eighteen diverse tetra- and penta-lateral cyclic compounds were synthesized. These included 1,3,4-thiadiazole, thiazolidin-4-one (via an alternative method), 1,2,4-triazole, carbothioamide, thiazole-4-one, azetidin-2-one, and oxazole. The synthesis procedure entailed a sequence of reactions. The thiazolidine-4-one 1 was obtained by reaction p-aminobenzoic acid with thiosemicarbazide, followed by treatment with p-tolualdehyde to produce Schiff base 2. Reaction Schiff base 2 with mercaptoacetic acid in dry benzene was carried out to produce thiazolidine-4-one 3. In another synthesis pathway, the esterification of p-nitro benzoic acid with ethanol in the presence of sulfuric acid was obtai

     Nine earthquakes inside Mesopotamia Plain from 2016 to 2018 were analyzed. Three seismic networks have been relied on to relocate these events and know their responsible fault. These networks are; Mesopotamian Seismological Center, Al-Refaei Seismic Array and Iranian Seismological Center. The results showed that the root mean square (RMS) values for all relocated events ranged between 0.002-0.997. The results of the error ellipse ranged from 0.24 - 4.17 km with longitude and 0.76 - 8.24 km with latitude. The new locations of these events are on or near the Ramadi-Musaiyib Fault. This means that the Ramadi-Musaiyib Fault, which belongs to the Najd fault system, is currently in reactivation.

     In this article, two issues related to the design of the experiment are investigated; namely the inspection times and optimal censoring. In the first issue, we study four different approaches to determine the inspection times, namely; pre-specified, equally spaced, optimally spaced, and equal probability using two optimality criteria. In the second issue, we identify the optimal censoring scheme by finding the expected numbers of removals or proportions that attain a specific optimality criterion using two optimality criteria considered. Numerical comparisons using the Monte Carlo simulations are provided of the inspection times, optimum control schemes issues for different parameters and different sample sizes. Statistical meas
