With fear and Growly-Martin functional response have been established. It is observed that there is a trans critical and  pitchfork bifurcations near each of  , where as a saddle-node bifurcation near the positive equilibrium point have been occurred. Finally, numerical simulation was used to illustrate the occurrence of the bifurcation of the proposed model.

Crude oil is known globally as one of the major causes of environmental pollution. This chemical compound exerts exhausting impacts on cultivable lands and water surfaces, leading to profound damage to agriculture and aquatic life. Over the years, several bioremediation approaches have evolved to manage this pollution problem properly. A phylum of microorganisms known as cyanobacteria offers an efficient alternative to established bioremediation methods. We conducted the present study to investigate the effectiveness of cyanobacteria in eliminating residual total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH). Synechococcus algae treated three concentrations of crude oil (0.6, 1.8, and 3 ppm) over four time periods (on days 3, 6, 9, and 12). The g

In this paper, point estimation method for parameters α and λ of the parameters of the Exponential-Rayleigh distribution have been estimated by the use of a simulation technique by using two Bayesian estimation methods; the first Bayesian method of estimation consists of Lindely approximation estimation method and the second Bayesian estimation method consists Tierney and kadane approximation estimation method to estimate all the unknown parameters (α,λ) of Exponential-Rayleigh distribution. Comparisons between these two methods were made by employing mean squares error criterion. Applying a simulation technique with different sample sizes, these methods are being compared.

This paper introduces a new model with two parameters titled “Shanker Weibull distribution". This distribution is obtained by merging the Shanker distribution with a scale of one parameter and the Weibull distribution with a shape parameter. First, we present the mathematical structure of the new distribution, which depends on the survival function for each of the Shanker and Weibull distributions. The statistical functions of this new distribution are presented, such as the cumulative, probability density, hazard and survival functions. In addition, we discuss the behavior of the probability density function and the hazard function by mxamining their shape. We also present the statistical properties of this distribution, which include

In the last decades, functional differential equations have attracted the attention of many researchers; they were interested in the theory and its applications. The most common differential equations of functional type are advanced, neutral, and delay DEs. The theory of oscillatory DEs with retarded arguments has a paramount effect on the qualitative properties of DEs. It is essential to deduce conditions for oscillatory and non-oscillatory solutions. The objective of this paper is to obtain oscillatory conditions for differential equations with retarded arguments. So, the oscillatory behavior has been considered in the nonlinear differential equations (DEs) of neutral type with three delays. Some important conditions of all functions h

This leads to the accumulation of toxins and the gradual inability to remove excess waste and fluids from the body. Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) is part of a protein family that regulates microtubule structure and cellular metabolism. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of these parameters in evaluating CKD and its associated mechanisms in Iraqi patients. The study was conducted from December 2023 to May 2024. Ninety subjects enrolled in this study: 60 patients with CKD who attended the Baghdad Teaching Hospital/Medical City/ Dialysis Unit in Baghdad, Iraq. Additionally, 30 healthy sub

Dental caries, also named tooth decay, is a major issue for oral health and is caused by bacteria in dental plaque. Detecting caries early on is essential for preventing further damage. Because caries are often small, they can lead to unnecessary treatments or missed diagnoses. This study tackles the challenge of spotting dental caries using color image analysis. We tested both traditional methods—like Quickshift, Simple Linear Iterative Clustering (SLIC) superpixels, and k-means clustering—combined in the Multi-Step Segmentation with K-Means (MSS-KM) approach, as well as a more advanced deep learning method using YOLOv12 for segmentation. The evaluation of the performance of these methods based on accuracy, precision, recall, mean a

To achieve this goal, the cell transfer power, current, current density and fill factor were calculated to estimate the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of DSSCs. Electrons move from the excited state of indolene D02 to the conduction band of ZnO to produce current for DSSCs through the assumed energy levels of donor indolene and acceptor ZnO in the hetero junction device to be continuous. The effect of carrier concentration and coupling strength on the improvement of the contact efficiency of D102 hetero juncti

An unsaturated polyester's (UPE) mechanical and thermal properties were modified by incorporating nanosized titanium dioxide (TiO₂) particles with 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5% weight ratios. 3% of TiO₂ is the best weight percentage that can be added to UPE to improve its impact strength from 8.74 MPa to 8.87 MPa, its hardness value from 82.23% to 86.63%, its tensile strength from 7.698 MPa to 24.76 MPa, and its thermal conductivity from 0.308499 W/m.^oC to 0.566916 W/m^oC. Also, the thermal stability of UPE/3% TiO₂ was improved using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). XRD measurement was employed to verify the change caused by adding TiO₂ particles to the internal structure of unsatura

Poultry often intake energy to meet their energy needs, which is associated with both more fat and protein deposition, which is also conditioned by the presence of adequate other nutritional nutrients. The most significant supplement in creature sustenance or diets is protein, with exceptional thought given to the proportion among energy and protein in consumes less calories (energy: protein ratio EPR). This implies that a specific protein level relates with the fundamental measure of energy in the eating regimen.

The current study focuses on the surface modification of an air dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) at atmospheric pressure on a polymer (epoxy). Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Hardness and Thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were used to characterize the material. Plasma was used to expose the epoxy sample for (0, 10, 20, and 30 min). The AFM study shows an increase in the time of plasma treatment and an increase in the parameter of roughening, in which the surface of the material is roughened by the plasma treatment. This plasma-induced morphological modification of the epoxy surface will also contribute to enhancing the wettability. In the DSC test, the stability of the glass transition temper

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects the synovial joints and produces recurring inflammation of the synovial membrane, which ultimately causes joint degeneration, deformity, and disability.
