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 optical emission of the ionic-to- atomic intensity ratio of the Ca spectral line has been correlated with Leeb hardness test (LHT) values, compressive strength, and Young's modulus measured by standard tools. The ratio ionic line to atomic line CaII / CaI between the ionic calcium line at 396.84 nm and the atomic line at 558.87 nm for teeth is obtained using LIBS technique employing Nd: YAG l

This study includes the synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazole 3-12 on creatinine derivatives that have antioxidant and microbial properties. The reaction of creatinine with hydrazine hydrate in absolute ethanol was successfully achieved to afford hydrazide derivatives 1,2. The desired 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazoles 3-12 were obtained by the reaction of hydrazide derivatives with different aliphatic and aromatic acid derivatives in the presence of POCl₃. FT-IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy were used to determine the structures of some compounds. The antioxidant activity of compounds 8, 9, 11, and

Three compositions Ni_0.5Fe_2.5O₄, Ni_0.7Fe_2.3O_4, and Fe₂O₃ were prepared by the co-precipitation method and checked by XDR, SEM, and VSM. The nanoparticles show a good match with the XRD standards. The particle sizes were 25, 32, and 18nm for the above compositions, respectively. The first composition showed the highest magnetization saturation. Suspensions containing the mentioned nanoparticles were prepared with two carrier fluids, distilled water, and dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO).

In this study, a nonlinear degenerate parabolic equation is used to describe a nonlinear -Laplacian equation process that arises in many areas of science and engineering in mechanics, quantum physics, and chemical design. This work has the objective of proving the existence of the local weak solution of a nonlinear p(x)-Laplacian equation by the compactness theorem. 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

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP),blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine levels were studied and used as indicators of toxicity. 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)|≥

Three temperatures (25, 30, 35 ^oC) and pH values (5,7,9) were chose for this study, while three concentrations of above mentioned pesticide (600, 1200, 1800) ppm were used. 94% and 91% were achieved at pH values 9 and 7 at 35^oC and 600 ppm.

In this research, we introduce the concepts of -module where (i=1,2,3), as proper generalizations of -conditions, where (i=1,2,3). 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

Diabetes mellitus is a globally prevalent disease with several parameters that may be involved in diagnosis or altered throughout disease progression. In this study, 120 patients with type 2 diabetes and healthy controls were recruited, with ages ranging from 30-65 years old. The research focused on determining levels of Protein Z (PROZ), Laminin Subunit Alpha 2 (LAMA2), Mixed Lineage Leukemia 4 (MLL4), and Plexin Domain Containing 2 (PLXDC2).

Protein markers were measured by ELISA, while fasting blood

Spontaneous abortion (SA) is a sever disease in which a women losses her foetus usually before 24 weeks of the pregnancy. About 10% -50% of pregnancy cases are run out with SA for reasons related with women's age and health. This condition occurrence may increases if the patient has a history of bacterial vaginosis. This study aimed at the characterization and isolation of vaginal microbiota generally and highlight on commensal bacteria becoming opportunistic when circumstances are favourable. From October to December 2022, about 100 samples were collected, 50 specimens from women with SA and 50 specimens from healthy pregnant outcomes (control). The high vaginal swabs samples were collected from Babylon Teaching Hospital for Maternity a

Engineered nanomaterials are so tiny that they cannot be seen without special equipment; they are found in many industrial products today, consumer products, medicines, and food products. The small size and other properties of nanomaterials can make them very hazardous to human health. Magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NPs), or metal oxides, have several advantages compared to other metal oxide nanoparticles because of their properties. Therefore, multiple uses of MgO NPs put human health at risk from prolonged exposure. The study aimed to determine how treatment with oral doses of MgO nanoparticles affects the kidneys of male rats through the oral route at 250 and 1000 mg/kg for 14 days, 28 days, and 56 days, respectively. Sixty mature

Speech separation is crucial for effective speech processing in multi-talker conditions, especially in real-time, low-latency applications. In this study, the Time-Domain Audio Separation Network (TasNet) and Dual-Path Recurrent Neural Network were used to perform a time-domain multiple-speaker speech separation challenge. One-dimensional conventional recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are not capable of accurately simulating long sequences. When their receptive length exceeds the sequence field, 1-D CNNs cannot recreate utterance-level sequences. Dual-Path Recurrent Neural Network (DPRNN) breaks up the lengthy sequential input that progressively performs intra- and inter-chunk operations with input lengths proportional to the square root

The results showed that the frequency of M. canis infections was 55/130 (42.31%). The results demonstrated significant differences in the animals' contact (p <0.0001), lesio

This paper describes a hybrid grayscale compression system based on the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and a polynomial coding technique for mixing quantization schemes to increase the compression ratio while maintaining quality. The proposed compression system consists of three main steps: first, decomposing an image using a three-level DWT; second, applying the 2-D linear polynomial coding technique to the approximation sub-band; and third, dividing the detailed sub-bands of each level into the Most Significant Value (MSV) and Least Significant Value (LSV), where the former is compressed using iterative scalar uniform quantization and the latter by soft quantization thresholding. For testing the performance of the suggested compressi

The study of the relationship between the coordinates of the sun and the moon with the crescent visibility factors has not been previously treated in a detailed and accurate way in  research and previous studies, despite its religious importance. Accordingly, this paper aims to study the relationship between the crescent visibility factors (age, lag time, elongation (ARCL), arc of vision or relative altitude (ARCV), relative azimuth (DAZ), and crescent width (W), with coordinates of the sun and the moon), and how it varies during the day of the crescent's observation. In this paper, Matlab programs were designed to calculate the ecliptic sun and moon coordinates (λ, β) and in the presence of all perturbation impacts (planets), then co

For the solution of fractional-order two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations (FOTDNSEs), the current work proposes a novel variant of the Laplace Adomian decomposition approach with the Atangana-Baleanu fractional operator in the Caputo sense (ABCFO). In this approach, the solution is considered as a Taylor series expansion that converges rapidly to the exact solution. Only two components are required for the new approximation analytical technique. When compared to other strategies, the current method is very simple, requires less calculation, and is extremely accurate.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can cause permanent joint damage and disability through inflammation in the joints. Other organs, such as blood vessels, lungs, heart, eyes and skin may also get affected. This study aimed to evaluate the changes of some oxidative stress markers including oxidative DNA damage and the clinical outcomes that are associated with Iraqi rheumatoid arthritis patients. Commercial enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits were applied to evaluate malondialdehyde (MDA), DNA damage marker 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHDG), and glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPX3) levels in serum of 60 patients having RA with ages ranging between 20-70 years and 30 age-matched healthy controls. The results showed a significant increase i

Speech is a signal produced by humans to interact and communicate. Different information is gained from speech signals, such as the language being spoken, emotion, gender, speaker identification, and other information. Speech signals are exposed to different noises, which can be generated at the beginning of the speech or during the transmission. Due to this problem, noise reduction processes are an interesting field in different communication application systems that cultivate the intelligibility and quality of speech signals. It refers to removing or reducing the background noise in order to obtain an improved quality of the original speech signal without distorting the original (clean) signal. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art r

This work is concerned with the synthesis of two types of composites thin films (Sb₂O₃:WO₃ and (Sb₂O₃:In₂O₃) with different concentrations (0.0,0.05,0.1, and 0.15). The prepared thin films are characterized with the use of the X-ray diffraction atomic force microscope AFM and UV-Vis–infrared spectrophotometer. The structural examination shows that both composite's thin films were polycrystalline with nano size with cubic phase as majority and orthorhombic phase as minority phase. The crystal size decreases from 34.6 to 24.7 and 21.7 nm for (Sb₂O₃:WO₃) and (Sb₂O₃:In₂O₃

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the result of a complex interaction between environmental factors and genetic predisposition.

 Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a significant environmental risk factor associated with MS. Human- beta defensin 2 (HβD-2) is a crucial innate immune response proteint that as an inflammatory marker protects humans from pathogens invading the body like viruses. Therefore, a case-control study was conducted on 90 subjected (48 patients with MS and 42 healthy controls) to examine the role of HβD-2 in EBV viral load infection and MS patients. An enzyme-linked immunosorbentassay kit was used to measure HβD-2 levels in serum. The viral load of EBV was determined using a real-time PCR. The findings revealed that medi
