Pseudomonas aeruginosa has recently been labeled a major threat to public health due to its resistance to almost all commonly used antibiotics. Many factors have been suggested for P. aeruginosa's antibiotic resistance. The goal of this study is to find out what role SIM and NDM, which are related to carbapenem resistance, play in P. aeruginosa isolates from local clinical sources. In this study, out of 110 different clinical specimens, 50 were identified as P. aeruginosa from hospitalized patients. All of the isolates were characterized based on the biochemical test and confirmed using the VitekII compact system. P. aeruginosa isolates were tested for antibiotic susceptibility using 8 antibiotics, inc

This study aims to determine the total effective dose (external and internal) in the radioactive liquid Waste Hall (WH) in the Radiochemistry Laboratories building (RCL) in Al- Tuwaitha site in order to estimate the radiation risk for workers in this place. The external effective dose was calculated by an indirect method using ThermoLuminescent Dosimeters (LiF: Mg, Ti (TLD-100)) by placing them in the waste hall for one month. The internal effective dose was estimated by collecting eight air samples (environmental samples) from different locations in WH using an air sampler pump (Sniffer) to collect air samples loaded with particles or dust which are deposited on cellulose filter papers (φ 125mm). This was done for two flow rates the lo

Study of the nuclear structure of nuclides used for medical diagnosis using positron emission tomography (PET) is presented in this work. These nuclides are ¹¹C, ¹³N, ¹⁵O and ¹⁸F, which are unstable by emitting β⁺ particles. They have half-lives of several minutes, which make them suitable radionuclides for PET. These radionuclides are produced through nuclear reactions using a cyclotron.  Studying the nuclear structure of these light nuclides is performed through the shell model. The full space of the p-shell model is used for the p-shell nuclei, and the full space of the sd-shell model for the sd-she

The thyroid is an endocrine gland that produces and secretes triiodothyronine (T3), and thyroxine (T4) hormones. These hormones are essential for maintaining body homeostasis.

It was found that the microwave plasma method gave better r

This study aims to investigate, using patient studies, the impact of Injected Dose (ID), Body Mass Index (BMI), and image noise assessments in PET imaging. This study included 59 liver cancer patients weighing between 45 and 107 kg. After intravenously injecting 0.1 millicurie (mCi) of ¹⁸F-FDG per kilogram of body weight, PET scans were obtained for 1, 1.5, and 3 min/bed position based on the patient's weight.

Weight, height, and body mass index were calculated using a spreadsheet.

Five regions of interest (ROIs) were placed at the same site in the liver, which was considered to have a homogeneous metabolism, in five successive slices of PET/CT scans to determine the mean uptake (signal) values and their standard

In this work, the glow spectrum from a neon strip lamp, used in homes and all private places, was diagnosed using optical emission spectroscopy (OES), to measure plasma parameters from spectral data (electrons density, electrons temperature, plasma frequency, Debye length). The intensity of the emission spectrum increases with increasing the applied voltage (100-220V). A spectral diagnosis was made of the cold plasma generated by the neon glow system where the glow spectrum produced was prepared for the diagnosis at variable alternating voltages that begin to rise gradually. The diagnosis was made at atmospheric pressure and room temperature of 27 ̊C. The results showed a gradual increase in the intensity of the neon spectrum generated

In this research, linear and nonlinear optical properties of NiO nanoparticles (NPs) dissolved in ethanol were investigated. Linear optical characteristics of NiO NPs were studied using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The linear absorption coefficient (α₀) was 0.88 and 0.57 cm^-1 at 405 and 532 nm wavelengths, respectively. The band gap energy rose from 3.56 eV for a sample with a 10^-7 g/ml concentration to 3.92 eV for the 10^-3 g/ml concentration sample. Using the Z-scan technique, the nonlinear optical characteristics of the NPs were investigated. Two continuous wave laser diodes with 405 and 532 nm wavelengths and different powers were used. The Z-scan system with a closed aperture revealed that

The Mannich base ligand was synthesized in an ethanol medium through a condensation reaction of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole and ciprofloxacin at room temperature. Subsequently, several metal complexes of this ligand were prepared. To characterize both the base ligand and the metal complexes, various techniques were employed, including elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, molar conductivity measurements, magnetic moment determination, and melting point analysis. The results were shown that the metal complexes formed have the formula [Cr(L)₂Cl₂] Cl.H₂O and [Rh(L)₂(H₂O)₂] Cl₃.H₂O, where L= mannich base ligand. Based on spectroscopic a

The study site represents an investigation of a proposed construction site in Baghdad City, in the Al-Nahrawan area, using 2D electrical resistivity and some geotechnical tests for soil samples. A Wenner-Schlumberger configuration was used for 4 parallel lines, each line 120 m long, with 1m spacing between electrodes. Interpretation is made by RES2DINV software. The results showed areas with relatively high resistivity caused by mud cracks and low- resistivity caused by water content (wet soil). The groundwater depth ranges from 5.5 to 5.7 m; these values were matched by comparing with nearby wells using a sounder device. Soil samples from different depths ranging from 0.5 to 4 m were analysed, and the samples consisted mainly of clay &g

Early detection of autistic symptoms can help lower overall medical expenses, which is beneficial given that autism is a developmental disease that is associated with high medical costs. To assess whether or not a kid may have autism spectrum disorder (ASD), screening for ASD involves asking the child's parents, caregivers, and other members of the child's immediate family a series of questions. The current methods for screening for autism, such as the autistic quotient (AQ), might require a significant number of questions in addition to careful question design, which can make an autism examination more time-consuming. The effectiveness and reliability of the test could be improved, for example, by employing data mining strategies. It co

We investigate this type behaves nicely in terms of common mappings like homomorphisms and direct products. In fact, we can show identify kernel objects and the fundamental theorem of homomorphisms using Rho-ideals in this theory. Also, some important classes of pseudo Rho-algebra  and their applications are investigated and studied. Moreover, the necessary characteristics for or tantamount to membership in major subtypes of pseudo Rho/d-algebras under these cases are identified. The Rho/d-algebras and pseudo Rho/d-algebras are generated using some new classes of polynomials with two variables that are introduced in this

Today, SARS is a viral infection of the respiratory system that causes damage to the alveoli. The virus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome belongs to the family of coronaviruses, commonly known as COVID, which is the same family of viruses that cause common colds. The increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) nowadays provides excellent opportunities to support and improve medical services in societies. In this paper, a developing model of deep learning (DL) is designed and implemented to classify SARS-CoV-2 disease images into two classes: COVID and non-COVID, with an accuracy of 99%. From a performance and accuracy perspective, the artificial convolutional neural network (CNN)-based detection m

Today, artificial intelligence is used to clone human faces, which leads to a new technology known as “deepfakes.” Recently, machine learning (ML) approaches and the use of deep learning (DL) networks have captured researchers' competition to achieve the highest classification accuracy in building efficient models for digital content deepfake detection. Therefore, this review analyzes and compares existing deepfake detection methods based on advanced artificial intelligence algorithms. Thus, deepfake detection techniques were classified into three major categories based on the classifier model used (machine learning, deep learning, or hybrid) and then compared to show the aspects that influence the efficiency and accuracy of the algo

The present study investigates the correlation between mechanical properties and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for different tooth samples. A set of Fourteen samples collected from the Al-Kut Specialized Dental Centre in Wasit Governorate was analysed. Tooth samples were divided into groups depending on age and gender (men, women).

The uniformly local characteristics of the solutions for the gradients by estimating the regularization problem and using the Moser iterative techniques. Moreover, some properties of the local solutions depend on uniformly bounded situations and the -norm to the gradient is considered.

Modern healthcare systems have two main sections: electronic health records (EHRs) and remote patient monitoring (RPM). With these sections, several issues have arisen related to comprehensiveness, which these sections lack in covering all the data information about the patient’s state, and other issues in privacy and security. Many types of research have been presented to solve these issues or mitigate their effects. One of these ideas is to use blockchain technology. However, some research may not utilize this technique properly, where data comprehensiveness problems remain and the preservation of individual nodes' data may be compromised. This paper introduces a new system called Patient Health Record (PHR), which will provide compr

Comet test was also utilized to evaluate the mechanism of genotoxicity of cypermethrin, lead and the ) cypermethrin and lead) group. Albino mice were divided into eight groups and given intraperitoneal cypermethrin injections at 1.75 mg/kg/day and lead nitrate at 1.75 mg/kg/day, and combined doses of each one respectively. Blood samples were collected after two and four weeks. Cypermethrin raised AST, AL, BUN and c

ln this paper, an ecological predator-prey model with time delay is proposed and studied analytically and numerically. The stability and bifurcation analysis of the proposed model with a Crowley-Martin response function are covered in this article. In the beginning, equilibrium points of the proposed model are identified. Secondly, the local asymptotic stability of the equilibria and Hopf-bifurcation are discussed by the characteristic equations of the system. Finally, by creating a suitable Lyapunov function and LaSalle’s invariance principle, the equilibria's global asymptotic stability is examined.

In ideal topological space, we define and study a new class of functions known as I-ω^*-continuous functions by using  I-ω^*-open sets. This idea is stronger than each of the classes (ω-continuous,  ωb-continous,  α-I_ω-continuous,  pre-I_ω-continuous,  β-I_ω-continuous, faintly- ω-continuous, slightly- ω-continuous, 〖 I〗_ω-c-continuous).  Furthermore, relationships between this class and other relevant classes of functions are investigated, and some characterizations of this new class of functions are studied. Finally, we introduce the  I-ω^*- open function as an extension of the ω- open function through I-ω^*-open sets, and some results are provided.

Theoretical investigation for cathodes of different metals, including hafnium (Hf), niobium (Nb), tungsten (W), and molybdenum (Mo) were used. It was noticed that the plasma energy at the cathode (Hf) has a higher value than that at the cathode metal because the energy losses of electrons for (Hf) are less due to inelastic collisions. As for the energy of electrons, their value for the metal (Hf) is also higher than of the other metals, and the reason is that the energy is proportional to the temperature according to the equation: (E = 3/2 KT). It was also noted that the energy of ions for all metals is almost equal at temperature (Tw≅4000K) due to energy losses due to elastic and inelastic collisions, this leads to a state of saturati

The objective of this paper is to present some geometric properties of the close to convex function  f when f is an analytic, univalent self-conformal mapping defined in the open unit disk D={z∈C: |z|<1},  and on the boundary of D. One of the goals of this work was determining the sharp bound for the function of form  f(z)=z/(1-z)^2δ   , 0<δ<1, when R(f^'/g^' (w_1))≥-2+δ/w_1   , for a some w_1∈∂D And  another, if f has angular limit at  p∈∂D . Then the inequality |(f^' (z))/(g^' (z) )|≥(-(1-2δ))/2(1+ δ)    is sharp with extremal functions  f(z)=z/(1-z)^2δ   , and   g(z)=z/(1+z), where 0<δ<1. Finally, if  f  is extended continuously to the boundary of D , then  |  (f^'/g^' )(p)|≥

The relationships between these concepts and previous ones were explained, and a comprehensive description of each was provided. Additionally, by relying on -module, new concepts were developed, such as supplement continuous and quasi-supplement continuous, which represent generalizations of continuous and quasi-continuous. Illustrative examples were provided, and the possibility of their inheritance was discussed.

      This paper proposes a new approach for image data hiding that aims to improve both robustness and imperceptibility. The proposed approach is based on a texture-adaptive quantization index modulation (QIM) method that takes into account the local characteristics of the image texture to optimize the embedding process. The approach is evaluated using various image datasets and compared to existing state-of-the-art techniques. The results show that the proposed approach achieves better performance in terms of robustness against various image processing attacks, with BERs of zero in some attacks, while maintaining a high level of imperceptibility with PSNRs exceeding 46 decibels. It can be deduced that adaptation and normalization
