This paper introduces the Right Truncated Inverse Gompertz Distribution (RTIGD) with two parameters δ and ϑ with some of its properties as; (Survival-Function, Hazard-Function, cumulative distribution function, probability density function, r-th moment, mean, variance, Moment Generating Function, Median, and Mode. In addition, we propose a new hybrid algorithm, namely the firefly Algorithm with Cuckoo Search Algorithm (FA_CSA) to estimate the parameters based on the survival functions of RTIGD. Simulation is utilized to compare the proposed algorithm with traditional methods, for example, the Maximum Likelihood Estimator and moment method and the standard algorithms Firefly Algorithm and Cuckoo Search. In most cases, the re

These are utilized in current study to construct three sets called the cluster outer set, the cluster disputed set and the cluster brim set denoted by , respectively. These three sets have divided the space into three separate pairs. On the other hand, the most important results, properties, and relationships between the sets were highlighted and studied.
Thalassemia is a genetic disease identified by a defect in the production of one or more globin chains. This study was aimed at determining the possibility of using "serum kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1)" and "N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG)" in the diagnosis of early renal damage in thalassemia patients. Serum biomarkers (CBC, urea, creatinine, KIM-1, and NAG) were determined in 45 patients with major thalassemia with an age range of 4-45 years who attended Baquba General Hospital. A significant increase in S.KIM-1 and S.NAG levels in patients compared with controls. The level of KIM was positively correlated with that of urea and creatinine in comparison with control. Also, the level of NAG was strongly positively correla

It is a classical method that gives a direct solution for calculation of the eccentric anomaly. It was solved for one period from (M=0-360)° with an eccentricity of (e=0-1) and the number of terms from (N=1-10). Also, the error in the representation of the first kind Bessel function was calculated. The results indicated that for eccentricity of (0.1-0.4) and (N = 1-10), the values of eccentric anomaly gave a good result as compared with the exact solution. Besides, the obtained eccentric anomaly values were unaffected by increasing the number of terms (N = 6-10) for eccentricities (0.8 and 0.9). The Bessel funct

This model is built up on the extracted data from various telescopes and archives for the target WW Cha stars and then analyzing them using a python environment. The result of the fitting proposes that there are two protoplanetary disks around the WW Cha star, with different physical properties for each disk, such as the size of the inner disk being 10 AU, while the size of the outer disk being 300 AU. The shape of the outer disk is a flaring disk not a flat disk according to the value of the power law for the surface density (1.5). The emission in the disk is caused by small amorphous olivine grains ranging in

It frequently inverts affirmative sentences into negative ones, affecting the polarity; therefore, the sentiment of the text also changes accordingly. Negation can be expressed differently, making it somewhat challenging to detect. As a result, detecting negation is critical for Sentiment Analysis (SA) system development and improvement and will increase classifier accuracy, but it also poses a significant conceptual and technical challenge. This paper aims to survey and gather the most recent research related to detecting negation in SA. Many researchers have worked and performed methods, including algorithmic, machine, and deep learni

At that time, a question remained, is it possible to add a row and later several rows on the same diagram? Or is this not an easy thing except under certain conditions? In this research, we will know when we can take these steps.
In this paper, a solution to one of the Bicriteria Machine Scheduling Problems (BCMSP) is proposed. This problem focuses on the maximum early jobs time and range of lateness jobs time on a single machine (1//(E_max,R_L )). First, we derive a subproblem 1//(E_max+R_L ) from the main problem which is a special case for the suggested problem. Secondly, both exact complete enumeration and Branch and Bound (BAB) with two new lower bounds with some heuristic methods to solve the problems are proposed. The results prove the accuracy of BAB to solve the problem for n≤110 jobs in a reasonable time. In addition, the accuracy of the suggested heuristic methods is compared with the results of the exact methods.

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is the most form of leishmaniasis disease prevalent in Iraq. CL remains a public health problem in numerous endemic countries because of the absence of safe, effective, and high-cost drugs for treatment. Macrophages are the main inhabitant cell for Leishmania; they phagocyte and allow parasite multiplying. Phagocytosis and anti-leishmanial activity of macrophage are the main factors in the elimination of Leishmania parasites. Phagosome-resident amastigotes also evade innate host defense mechanisms. Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have an important effect in stimulating the production of oxygen species. The objective of this study was to examine macrophages cytotoxicity upon exposure to L. tropica and Ag NPs. Se
