     Many authors investigated the problem of the early visibility of the new crescent moon after the conjunction and proposed many criteria addressing this issue in the literature. This article presented a proposed criterion for early crescent moon sighting based on a deep-learned pattern recognizer artificial neural network (ANN) performance. Moon sight datasets were collected from various sources and used to learn the ANN. The new criterion relied on the crescent width and the arc of vision from the edge of the crescent bright limb. The result of that criterion was a control value indicating the moon's visibility condition, which separated the datasets into four regions: invisible, telescope only, probably visible, and certainly v

     This work includes the synthesis of new ester compounds containing two 1,3,4-oxadiazole rings, 15_a-c and 16_a-c. This was done over seven steps, starting with p-acetamido-phenol 1 and 2-mercaptobenzoimidazole 2. The structure of the products was determined using FT-IR, ¹H NMR, and mass spectroscopy. The evaluation of the antimicrobial activities of some prepared compounds was achieved against four types of bacteria (two types of gram-positive bacteria; Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, and two types of gram-negative bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and E. Coli), as well as against one types of

     The shear wave sonic (S-wave) log data is essential for identifying the reservoir's geomechanical properties, which is an important factor for the drilling, completion, and optimization processes, where obtaining S-wave requires capital investment and reduces the cost. In this paper, we used the multi-layer perceptron (MLPR) and the gradient boosting regression (GBR) to predict the missing S-Wave log data for the Volve Oil Field in the North Sea. Prescriptive and predictive analysis were carried out in series to achieve a high blind data accuracy rate of 0.943 and 0.982 for the multi-layer perceptron regression and the gradient boosting regression, respectively. It was observed that the gradient-boosting algorithm achieved highe

Many researchers discussed distributive modules and their properties. In this work, the distributive property will be studied over semimodules. Some of the results obtained in homomorphisms of distributive modules are generalized. Some conditions were needed like concept subtractive, i-regular, k-regular, and k-cyclic, to get good results. The relationship between the distributive semimodule over the local semiring and the hollow semimodule was obtained, and the relationship between the distributive semimodule and the homomorphisms distributed over the intersection process or the inverse image distributed over the addition.

    The field of cloud-based electronic government (CBEG) is still expanding. Some conflicting results have been published regarding the factors influencing the adoption of CBEG. The paper aims to review the literature and understand the status of CBEG and the factors behind its adoption. Specific keywords related to the topic were used to extract articles from reliable databases. An extensive review was done on a total of 41 articles published between 2016 and August 2022. The findings showed that there has been an increase in the number of articles related to CBEG, specifically in the public sector. The review also showed that the quantitative approach outperformed other approaches. The Technology Organization Environment (TOE) fram

     Fixed point theory is not only essential in mathematics but also to a vast array of applications. In this approach, we provide some fixed point theorems for fuzzy normed space. The triangle property of a fuzzy norm is introduced first. This property is used to demonstrate some fixed point solutions for self-mappings in fuzzy normed space. To demonstrate the importance of the obtained results, an application for the existence of a solution to the ordinary differential equation and the Fredholm integral equation is constructed.

Finally, we study the relation between them.

     In this work, aluminium-doped zinc oxide (AZO) nanostructure at 0.3 wt% and 0.5 wt% Al was synthesized using the pulse-laser ablation technique in liquid(PLAL) using pulsed Nd: YAG laser of a fundamental wavelength of (1064 nm). The process was done in the absence and presence of an external magnetic field. The deposited AZO nanostructures by drop-casting on etched-Si wafers were examined by different techniques. The XRD test illustrates enhancing the crystallinity of the prepared thin films by applying an external magnetic field. The FESEM images displayed the change of nanostructure to nano-sheets of high surface area after using a 77.2 mT permanent magnet placed behind the target during the ablation process. The gas sensor ba

     In this research, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were manufactured using aqueous extract of mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus. Anticancer potential of AgNPs was investigated versus human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). Cytotoxic response was assessed by MTT assay. AgNPs showed inhibition effect at the following concentrations 12.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 µg/ml versus MCF-7 cell line, and all treatments had a positive result. The MCF-7 cells were inhibited up to 85.14 % at the concentration 200 μg/ml of AgNPs which reduced cells viability to 14.86%, while 12.5 μg/ml of AgNPs caused 24.23% cells inhibition with reduction of cells viability to 75.77%.

     The development of two-dimensional chromatography systems is crucial in many scientific fields as it provides improved separation efficiency and selectivity of complex mixtures. By separating compounds based on two independent properties, these systems can offer a more detailed understanding of sample composition. This increased level of detail is particularly useful in industries such as pharmaceuticals, environmental analysis, and proteomics, where complex mixtures with similar properties need to be differentiated. A new chromatography system with two dimensions was developed to separate and quantify specific flavonoids in German wine samples. The first dimension used a homemade hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatographic c

     Many questions and answers about Islamic law are scattered on the internet and have been explained repeatedly by various sites. One solution is presented by the website www.piss-ktb.com, which creates a web-based source of information in the form of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). However, web-based FAQs have a weakness: users still have to browse through the available questions one by one according to the questions they want to know the answers to. Browsing through thousands of FAQs is inefficient and exhausting.

Thus, a chatbot system can become a better alternative to the FAQ website. Still, chatbots are difficult to use because most of their conversations are  hard to understand. A single character error will cause

     This paper constructs and generalizes the numerical Runge-Kutta-Mohammed (RKM) method for solving twelve-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The novel contribution of this study is the development and generalization of the numerical RKM methods for solving ODEs of the order of less than a tenth. The algebraic order conditions (OCs) for the proposed RKM method are derived up to order thirteen using Taylor expansion. Then, the constructed method has been derived from these order conditions. However, the proposed numerical RKM method has been evaluated at some implementations and compared to an existing Runge-Kutta (RK) method to determine the method's viability. Moreover, this comparison demonstrates the proposed direct

     The present paper shows a numerical comparison by using the number of the following criteria: mean squared, root mean Square, mean absolute, and relative mean squared error values between the methods, namely  maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimators for the two parameters of the exponentiated exponential distribution. In estimating the maximum likelihood, The equations cannot be solved directly, Then Newton-Raphson method is used. Because of Bayes estimators under scale invariant squared and weighted composite linear-exponential loss functions the ratios cannot be simplified in a closed form. So, we use Lindley approximation. MATLAB program is used to display the results.

     Binary relations or interactions among bio-entities, such as proteins, set up the essential part of any living biological system. Protein-protein interactions are usually structured in a graph data structure called "protein-protein interaction networks" (PPINs). Analysis of PPINs into complexes tries to lay out the significant knowledge needed to answer many unresolved questions, including how cells are organized and how proteins work. However, complex detection problems fall under the category of non-deterministic polynomial-time hard (NP-Hard) problems due to their computational complexity. To accommodate such combinatorial explosions, evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are proven effective alternatives to heuristics in solving NP-

      This paper used argon plasma jets to prepare CuO nanostructures. Several techniques, including UV–Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), were used for the characterization of the prepared CuO nanoparticles. UV–Vis spectroscopy analysis confirmed that the CuO nanostructures have an energy band gap of 2.7 eV. The XRD analysis showed that the CuO nanostructures have an average crystallite size of 36 nm. Furthermore, the results of the EDX examination demonstrated the creation of CuO nanostructures of high purity. The scanning electron microscope was used to analyze the surface morphology, showing a high agglomeration rate. According to SEM

      In this study, we present a modified analytical approximation method to find the time-fractional Sharma-Tasso-Olever issue solving. In order to tackle nonlinear fractional differential equations that arise in a variety of physical processes, we begin by providing an alternate foundation for the Laplace Residual Power Series Technique (LRPSM). Thus, the generalized Taylor series equation and residual functions serve as the foundation for this approach.

More precisely, our approach and the suggested solution produce good results. Moreover, the reliability, effectiveness, and simplicity of this approach are demonstrated for all classes of fractional nonlinear issues that arise in technological and scientific fields. Two ex

Measurement of anti-TTG, liver manifestation, and BMI in Iraqi patients with celiac disease (CD) with and without a gluten-free diet (GFD) in order to validate their role in the exacerbation of CD symptoms. The study was carried out on CD patients with a duration of disease ranging from 1 to 10 years (n = 52, age range: 20-55(. The patients’ group was subdivided into the PI group (n = 29), which includes patients with GFD, and the PII group (n = 23), which includes patients without GFD. The studied groups were matched with 51 healthy individuals as the control group (C) (age range: 20-55). The results obtained from the present study indicate a highly significant increase (P = 0.000) in serum anti-TTG in the PI and PII groups as compare

    The aim of our work is to develop a new type of games which are related to (D, WD, LD) compactness of topological groups. We used an infinite game that corresponds to our work. Also, we used an alternating game in which the response of the second player depends on the choice of the first one. Many results of winning and losing strategies have been studied, consistent with the nature of the topological groups. As well as, we presented some topological groups, which fail to have winning strategies and we give some illustrated examples. Finally, the effect of functions on the aforementioned compactness strategies was studied.

     Fusing digital images is an essential step in digital image processing, as it allows for integrating information from two or more images into a single image of high quality and clarity. This work fused images resulting from motion blur (left and right) with blur block sizes of 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. The image resulting from the blur towards the right was combined with the image resulting from the blur towards the left for the same degree of blur using traditional techniques such as addition, multiplication, and new suggested techniques, namely absolute real standard deviation, binary standard deviation, real Covariance, and binary Covariance. The data examined by quality assessment methods with the reference depend

     Acromegaly has been associated with several metabolic health conditions that can increase risks of death and illness. These include heart disease, diabetes, and problems with how the body regulates insulin levels. Multiple studies have found that people living with acromegaly are two to four times more likely to pass away than others of the same age and sex in the general population. Research also suggests a link between acromegaly and higher levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the body. MDA is a byproduct formed during natural processes like prostaglandin and lipid peroxidation production that is able to damage genes and has been connected to cancer development.
