This paper aims to introduce a concept of an equilibrium point of a dynamical system which will call it almost global asymptotically stable. We also propose and analyze a prey-predator model with a suggested function growth in prey species. Firstly the existence and local stability of all its equilibria are studied. After that the model is extended to an optimal control problem to obtain an optimal harvesting strategy. The discrete time version of Pontryagin's maximum principle is applied to solve the optimality problem. The characterization of the optimal harvesting variable and the adjoint variables are derived. Finally these theoretical results are demonstrated with numerical simulations.
The effect of diode laser radiation 805nm on the viability of some types of Gram negative and Gram positive pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enteritidis and Bacillus cereus) was studied. These types of bacteria were irradiated at 0.94, 2.01 and 2.76 Wat for 1 minute as an exposure time of laser radiation. The results showed that this type of laser radiation had an inhibition action on E. coli, S. pyogene, B. cereus, and S. aureus and a stimulation effect on S. enteritidis and K. pneumonia. In both cases, the effect was dose-dependent.
Antibiotics treat bacterial infections, whereas antiviral drugs treat viral illnesses. Antivirals are used to treat a variety of infectious diseases, including COVID-19 and influenza. The technique of reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) provides more sensitivity and precision than other approaches, particularly spectrophotometric. This research seeks to develop a simple method for simultaneously quantifying acyclovir, amantadine, and oseltamivir in creams and capsules. The RP-HPLC method optimization and development for verifying the separation and quantification of three antiviral drugs included the investigation of the optimal buffer concentration, pH value, and acetonitrile content.

Water harvesting techniques developed globally during the last decades with highly increasing water crisis and climate changes. The Yeoman keyline method was spread widely with increased use for sustainable permaculture development. The main aim of the current study is to analyze and solve the siltation problem in Dwerige weir and to develop water resources in the basin area. The remote sensing data, field surveying, and hydrology are used together to build a new geotechnical approach. The results show that a huge siltation quantity was not considered in the weir design studies, which were represented by sand sheet materials and eroded soils washed by flooding and entering the weir reservoir through four main channels.

However, Face recognition is a biometric system that can identify people from their
faces. For few number of people to be identified, it can be considered as a fast
system. When the number of people grew to be bigger, the system cannot be adopted
in a real-time application because its speed will degrade along with its accuracy.
However, the accuracy can be enhanced using pre-processing techniques but the
time delay is still a challenge. A series of experiments had been done on AT&TORL
database images using Enhanced Face Recognition System (EFRS) that is

Steganography is very important because it conceals secure data in images, texts, audios, protocols, videos, or other mediums. Video steganography is the method of concealing data in frames of video format. A video is a collection of frames or images used for hidden script messages. This paper proposes a technique to encrypt secret messages using DNA and a 3D chaotic map in video frames using the raster method. This technique uses three steps: Firstly, converting video frames into raster to extract features from each frame. Secondly, encryption of secret messages using encoded forms of DNA bases, inverse/inverse complements of DNA, a

With notable incidence rates in both industrialized and developing nations, it is the most prevalent cancer diagnosed in women globally. Environmental factors, lifestyle decisions, and hormones all increase the risk of breast cancer. It was demonstrated that individuals with breast cancer had greater levels of a number of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which explains their function in the pathogenicity of the disease and its therapy. The hypothesis of this study includes how chemotherapy for breast cancer affects the level of interleukins.

One practical approach to address this issue is the estimation or prediction of missing well logs, commonly referred to as soft logging, which can significantly lower exploration costs in the oil and gas industry.
