The wireless sensor network (WSN) is one of the most important achievements of the modern technological revolution and greatly affects human life. These networks suffer from some limitations that affect their performance, such as the limited power of their devices. Clustering technology is one of the effective power conservation techniques that improves the performance of WSNs, so this article focuses on developing aggregation technology by proposing an Energy Saving, Multi-hops, Clustering, and Hierarchy (ESMCH) protocol for homogeneous WSNs. The proposed protocol improves clustering technology in several directions. The first direction is by determining the ideal number of cluster head nodes (CHs) suitable for the network, and the se

In order to examine various geometric features, we expanded the supertrigonometric function (STF) and superhyperbolic function (SHF) into the open unit disk. A convolution differential operator of the STF provides the formulas. The suggested operator works with both integral and double differential inequalities. As a result, we present a collection of findings that includes recent works. The idea of
subordination and superordination serves as a guide for our method, and we then developed the primary conclusion as a double side’s theorem.

      Schizophrenia poses a considerable disease burden, notwithstanding its relatively low incidence rate. The escalation in population size and mean age has led to a substantial rise in the incidence of illness linked to schizophrenia, particularly in countries with moderate levels of prosperity. Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to detect and recognize the illness as fast as possible to stop the consequences from occurring and stop symptoms from appearing before they even start. Within this study’s scope, fifteen distinct primers were selected randomly to determine whether or not they could recognize schizophrenia. To accomplish this, a Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) was conduct

      Detecting and subtracting the Motion objects from backgrounds is one of the most important areas. The development of cameras and their widespread use in most areas of security, surveillance, and others made face this problem. The difficulty of this area is unstable in the classification of the pixels (foreground or background). This paper proposed a suggested background subtraction algorithm based on the histogram. The classification threshold is adaptively calculated according to many tests. The performance of the proposed algorithms was compared with state-of-the-art methods in complex dynamic scenes.

     Water shortage is one of the serious environmental problems in a semi-arid region, which has become increasingly dangerous. The article considers a new management simulation model of Groundwater (GW) resources using a water flow model. One thousand one hundred fifty irrigation wells were selected as a study area using Landsat 8 OLI images 2016-2021 in the West of Karbala province, Iraq. Geographic Information System tool integrated with numerical /conceptual model using the Visual MODFLOW Flex 7 software to reach the optimal use of GW resources. The conceptual model indicated that the value of the flow in the aquifer reaches 21 million cubic meters annually, which means there is renewable storage. The consumer value of GW was ab

     The analysis of thermal instability in a Brinkman-Darcy Jeffrey nanofluid flow through a porous medium is studied in this paper.  The nanoparticles are immersed in the Jeffrey fluid so that the thermal conductivity of the system is maintained and high medium porosity is to be undertaken. Under the impact of the Jeffrey, nanoparticles and Brinkman-Darcy parameters, the momentum-balance equations of fluid flow are mutated. The dispersion relation for the Rayleigh number is derived by employing the normal mode analysis method and linear stability theory in terms of different parameters affecting the stability of the system.  It is noticed that the Darcy-Brinkman number advances the convection while the Jeffrey parameter postpones

    The study area is located in the Missan government in southeastern Iraq, including oilfields (Halfaya, Noor, and Amara). The study area is about 966 Km². Based on the 2D seismic reflection interpretation, well-logs data (sonic and estimated density logs), and synthetic seismogram of well Am-2, two horizons were identified and picked (Nahr Umr and Shuaiba) within the Lower Cretaceous age. For the picked reflectors, two-way time and depth maps were created to display the subsurface's structural makeup. The structural interpretation shows two structural axes in the study area. The first is the Halfaya-Amara axis, whose direction is WNW-ESE corresponding with the Amara structure. This axis deviates southeast due to the tect

      In this study, rock stability has been assessed to pinpoint the critical factors affecting slope instability. The discontinuity data collected during the field surveys was evaluated using stereograph projection. Bai Hassan, Mukdadiya, and Injana Formations that were exposed in the research region show slope collapses, ranging in severity from most to least in terms of secondary toppling and rock fall. The characteristics of the rock discontinuities determine the kind and extent of hazards. According to this study, warning signs and fencing should be used to prevent people from walking along the edges of the slopes in the Bajalia anticline and the areas around to alert them of potential failure threats.

     In humans, the hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been demonstrated to be the essential cause of both acute and chronic hepatitis. A variety of cytokines are released as a part of the immune response during HBV infection. The present study aimed to estimate the interleukin-33(IL-33) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (CHBV). This study involved fifty diagnosed CHBV patients (mean age 47.26 ± 14.23) and forty subjects as healthy control (mean age 35.10 ± 9.86). The results revealed by the ELISA method that the serum levels of IL-33and TNF-α were significantly higher (P-value <0.001) in the CHBV patients group (78.12 pg/ml and 15.34 pg/ml respectively) as compared with

     The sol-gel route is used to prepare samarium (Sm⁺³) ions doped in silica monoliths as a function of active ion concentrations up to 0.0178%. The spectroscopic activity of Sm⁺³ ions doped-silica matrices is investigated using UV- Visible spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy. ⁴G_5/2 emissions are observed from a minority of isolated Sm⁺³ ions within the pores structure of silica matrix, UV-Vis spectra reveals absorption peaks due to Sm⁺³ active centers. X-ray diffraction and FTIR results support the distribution of such ions in these porous. Analysis indicates that at high doping levels, most ions reside in clusters and ⁴G

      Background Whatman™ FTA (Flinders Technology Associates) is a form of card soaked in chemicals that denatures proteins while protecting DNA and ensuring the safe handling of dried body fluid spots (blood, semen, and saliva) and buccal cells. To this day, these cards are still infrequently used in forensic science. Therefore, reference samples including biological material may be collected on FTA cards for genetic analysis that have been widely used for DNA preservation and analysis, particularly in forensic sciences and genetic studies. The goal of the study was to evaluate the effects of cryopreservation on DNA quantitative and short tandem repeats (STR) profiling by compar

      Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease with multiple contributing factors. It is characterized by the immune system's inability to tolerate autoantigens such as nuclear antigens. The objective of this study is to evaluate the expression of microRNA-34a in relation to the incidence and occurrence of SLE in Iraqi women using quantitative real-time PCR and to determine its potential relationship with various demographic and laboratory parameters and disease activity.

The mean of the Systemic Lu

    Several desirable properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have found extensive use in consumer and healthcare products. Due to their potential to penetrate the nucleus and harm genetic material, their adverse effects, however, are mostly unknown and appear inevitable. This study aimed to determine genotoxic potential of AgNPs using mitotic index (MI) and structural chromosome aberrations (SCA) test in bone marrow cells of Mus musculus male albino mice. Two generations were experimented in this study, the first and second generation. In the first generation, five groups of five male mice including control group were used and intraperitoneally (IP) injected with two doses of AgNPs (50 mg/kg and 150mg/kg) in one-time and

The Internet of Things and the blockchain are considered to be the major technologies that are linked together to support the flexibility, scalability, and integrity of the system. IoT devices have insufficient computing capacity in terms of processing data units and storage requirements. It requires efficient encryption algorithms. Nowadays, the IoT is facing several challenges, such as poor
interoperability, security vulnerabilities, privacy, and a lack of industry standards. In this paper, a novel triple DES-based blockchain algorithm for the IoT network environment is designed to assure data integrity and system scalability. Initially, the IoT network modeling is framed with different network entities, smart devices, and communi

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a pathogenic bacterium that has been linked to several illnesses acquired in both the community and hospitals. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of the clbA, K1, and K2 genes in K. pneumoniae and their relationship with antibiotic resistance. In this research, 130 clinical samples from patients in hospitals were collected from blood, urine, wounds, burns, and sputum, and only 61 of those samples were positively identified as K. pneumoniae using biochemical tests, selective media, and Vitek II. The method of disc diffusion was utilized to evaluate the 61 isolates' susceptibility to 10 antibiotics, including Imipenem, Meropenem, Cefixime, Ceftazidime, Amoxicil

      The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of pesticides in different durations on some neurotransmitters and oxidative parameters compared to controls. A total of 120 male farmers participated in this study, 30 not exposed to pesticides served as control group and 90 exposed to pesticides and were split into two groups based on their exposure durations (˂5 & ≥5 years) and three age-groups (˂20, 20-40 and ≥41 years). Blood was collected to determine acetylcholinesterase (ACHE), serotonin (5-TH), dopamine (DA), reactive oxygen species (ROS), total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels using ELISA kits. The results of ACHE, serotonin, dopamine and TAC levels increased, whereas M

The GPR method was used to determine the depth and extent of the subsurface archaeological features at the archaeological site of Borsippa. The extensions of the archaeological walls were identified through the creation of three-dimensional maps. The LMX200 device conducted the survey using a 250 MHZ antenna. sixty parallel profiles were collected and processed by GPR Slice software. Several reflections of possible archaeological walls buried at different depths and extensions of 2, 4, 6, 11, and 20 m were identified. The 250 MHz antenna gave clear reflections of the archaeological walls, with a penetration depth of up to 4 meters. The time slice map identified a buried archaeological structure at 1–1.1 m deep, consisting of many rooms

      As it is observed these days, the roads are crowded with different kinds of vehicles, and as a result, accidents have become more dangerous every day. In this paper, a vehicle accident detection and notification system is designed by using road surveillance camera data and machine learning techniques to use the recorded footage from the surveillance cameras to detect the accident status, activate an alerting sound, and send the notification message as a Google email (Gmail) to the specialist. The system model was made by combining two algorithms, convolutional neural networks (CNN) and support vector machines (SVM), to make a CNN-SVM hybrid model, which was then trained using two datasets. The first dataset contains 4814 image

     This paper demonstrates the synthesis and storage of molecular-imprinted polymers (MIP) at room temperature using bulk polymerization of atenolol (Ate), which is characterized by high sensitivity, low costs, and high stability. The research used 0.99:6:20 mmol ratios of template, monomer, and cross-linking agents for the polymerization in order to ensure an appropriate adsorption capacity. By making MIP for atenolol as Ate-MIP, which could be looked at with a UV-VIS spectrophotometer at 276 nm, Fourier- transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a functional monomer of allyl chloride with cross-linking ethylene glycol dimethyl acrylate was made. Mass spectrometric (MS) detec

This study aimed to investigate the rate of callus induction from stevia leaves and the content of glycosides when changing the sucrose percentage in the culture medium.. Murashige and Skoog (MS) culture medium supported by 4.0 mg/l naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 1.0 mg/l benzyl adenine (BA) was used,  and different concentrations of sucrose (2, 3, 4, 5  and 6%) were tested .The extraction of glycosides from leaf and callus tissues was performed by using methanol. Extracted glycosides were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

     This work includes the synthesis of new pyrazoline derivatives 6-20 over two steps. The first step included a condensation between vanillin and various aromatic ketones (acetophenone, p-nitroacetophenone, p-chloroacetophenone, p-bromoacetophenone, and 2-acetylnaphthalene) to provide the corresponding chalcone derivatives 1-5 in high yields (up to 93%). The second step involved a reaction of 1-5 with hydrazine hydrate, phenyl hydrazine, and p-nitrophenyl hydrazine, which gave the desired products 6-20 in yields ranging from 60 to 85%. The structures of the prep

        Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-Cov-2). It is characterized by respiratory distress, multiorgan dysfunction and death in some cases. The host immune response to SARS-CoV-2 appears to play a critical role in disease pathogenesis and clinical manifestation. However the pathological mechanism underling the disease has not been fully defined. Lung autopsy samples from 3 patients with fatal COVID-19 were evaluated using hematoxylin and eosin stain to analyze the histopathological changes. While immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was performed for detecting CD4 in helper T-cells, CD8 in cytotoxic T-cells, CD56 in NK-cells and CD45RO in memory T-cell

     This study investigates the adsorption of Brilliant Scarlet 3r dye (BS 3r) onto corn silk (CK), an agricultural waste, in a neutral medium. The characteristics of corn silk as an adsorbent were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Atomic force microscopy (AFM). Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to examine the effects of corn silk weight, initial BS 3r concentration, adsorption period, adsorption temperature, and pH of the medium on the adsorption process. Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherms models were used to represented the equilibrium experimental date, the obtained values of correlation coefficient R² indicated that the adsorption followed the Langmu

A significant cause of blindness in preterm infants is retinal retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Early detection and intervention are essential for preventing visual loss. This study proposes an advanced approach for predicting ROP stages using deep learning algorithms and belief function theory. Three steps comprise the suggested technique: image pre-processing, feature extraction using deep learning models, and classification utilizing belief function theory. We used a dataset of 3720 retinal images from premature infants and achieved a classification accuracy of 95.57% for predicting ROP stages. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of deep learning algorithms and belief function theory in ROP diagnosis. This strategy can increase

     The current study aims to investigate the prevalence of extended-spectrum ß-lactamases (ESBLs) and AmpC β-lactamases in multiple-drug-resistant Escherichia coli (e.g., multidrug-resistant (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR), and pan-drug-resistant (PDR)) collected from hospitalized patients in Baghdad. The results showed that the prevalence of ESBLs among E.coli isolates was high. From the total 113 E.coli isolates, 75 (66.37%) were ESBL-producing, while 38 (33.63%) were non-ESBL-producing. Out of 75 ESBL-positive isolates, 39 (52%) were obtained from females and 36 (48%) from males. Additionally, 43 (57.33%) isolates were collected from urine samples, and the highest production of ESBLs

     Information on the aquifer transmissivity and basement structure of Igarra, southwestern Nigeria, is scarce. Thus, this study aimed to apply electrical resistivity sounding and drilled borehole information to determine the underlying bedrock structure (basement structure) and the aquifer transmissivity of Igarra. Twenty vertical electrical soundings (VES) were carried out along 4 established E-W traverses intending to intercept the fracture systems. The resistivity data acquired were curved matched, and iterated using Schlumberger O' Neil software to obtain layer parameters. The layer parameters were evaluated to obtain the Dar-`Zarrouk parameters, which were used to determine the aquifer transmissivity. The resistivity-sounding

Let  be a semiring. An -semimodule  is called a principally supplemented (-supplemented) semimodule, if for all  there exists a subsemimodule  of  with  and  small (-small) in . In this paper, we examine properties of principally -supplemented semimodules and generalize results on principally -supplemented modules to semimodules. Besides, we characterize -semiperfect semimodules as a generalization of -semiperfect modules.

      The image caption is the process of adding an explicit, coherent description to the contents of the image. This is done by using the latest deep learning techniques, which include computer vision and natural language processing, to understand the contents of the image and give it an appropriate caption. Multiple datasets suitable for many applications have been proposed. The biggest challenge for researchers with natural language processing is that the datasets are incompatible with all languages. The researchers worked on translating the most famous English data sets with Google Translate to understand the content of the images in their mother tongue. In this paper, the proposed review aims to enhance the understanding of ima
