This study conducted a thorough analysis of changes in land cover components of the Lake Hamrin area, located within Diyala Governorate, Iraq, focusing on the influence of human and climatic factors. Human variables included the rate of water release from the Darbandikhan Dam, while climatic factors encompassed fluctuations in temperature and annual rainfall. These factors significantly impact the lake, the largest body of water in the region, and other land cover components, leading to disruptions in the overall ecological balance.

The presence and distribution of phytoplankton algae, which are related to water properties, are affected by these factors. Non-diatomic algae samples were collected during the autumn season in 2024-2025 from three sites on the Tigris River, including the Samarra pharmaceutical industry, woolen spinning factory, and paper waste landfill, to identify algae resistant to dye pollution. The study found slight temperature variations in three sites, with the highest temperature in the first site being 23.62 ºC and the lowest in the second site being 20.67 ºC. The water was found to be alkaline, with slightly reduced pH values at the first site. The electrical conductivity (EC) values were high, with the highest rate in the first site at 956.

Benzimidazole is a bicyclic heterocyclic aromatic compound that contains a combination of a six-membered ring and a five-membered ring with two nitrogen atoms. The current study aims to combine these two moieties to identify new benzimidazole-based 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives. In this work, the preparation of new benzimidazole-containing substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles 3-16 has been described using a five-step process. The S_N2 displacement reaction between benzimidazole and bromoacetic acid afforded the corresponding acid 1 in an 87% yield. Product 1 was treated with thionyl chloride to furnish the desired acid chloride form of 1. The next step involved the nucleophilic addition of hydrazine hydrate (99%) to the acid chloride d

Styrene acrylic polymer (SAP) coatings protect materials from damage. Their performance can be enhanced by adding microscopic materials such as carbon black (CB), which improves their surface energy and hardness. This research aimed to evaluate the effect of carbon black at concentrations of 5, 10, 15, and 20% using the casting method. SAP films with varying weight percentages of carbon black were prepared. The mixture was magnetically stirred at 25°C for 1 hour, then stirred in an ultrasonic bath for 30 minutes, poured into a 20 cm diameter mold, and dried at room temperature for 24 hours. The adhesion strength peaked at a 5% CB concentration, reaching approximately 590. However, higher concentrations caused a significant decrease in a

Nanoparticle (NP)-based polymer nanocomposites have received significant attention in recent years, particularly those based on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). This study aims to synthesize and characterize of nanocomposites derived from grafted CMC. Because of the presence of polar functional groups, such as carboxyl and hydroxyl groups, in CMC, which contribute significantly to its strong adsorption capacity in metal structures, some research has indicated that this CMC is effective as a corrosion inhibitor, especially after being coated with NPs, as it protects metal surfaces from corrosion and helps them create a protective layer. In this study, nanocomposites derived from grafted CMC were synthesized. Initial CMC underwent a reaction

The present investigation is concerned with the spectral characterization by laser-induced bioluminescence spectroscopy (LIBS) of neem (Azadirachta indica) generated plasma, which is one of the most versatile and fast methods for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of various chemical elements, in organic as well as organic materials.

Thin films of ZnO1-xAgOx nanostructures were successfully deposited on glass substrates using pulsed laser deposition with varying AgO nanoparticle concentrations. Structural and optical characterizations were performed to evaluate the effect of AgO incorporation. XRD patterns confirmed a hexagonal polycrystalline structure, with additional peaks for cubic silver or silver oxide due to AgO inclusion. Crystal size slightly increased at x = 0.05 and 0.25, indicating enhanced growth, while it decreased at other ratios due to lattice strain and defects. FTIR analysis showed Zn–O stretching modes, hydroxyl, carbon-based groups, and Ag–O bands, confirming successful incorporation. AFM results revealed reduced surface roughness with low AgO

Abstract   

      The algorithms has a great role to find zeroes of metric projection point , fixed point and common fixed point in Hilbert space .It is well known that the metric projection mapping plays important role in Fixed point theory , Differential Equations, Optimization theory and Variational Inequality problem. The success, effectiveness, speed and superiority of iterative methods over other approximate methods depend on two important factors: The first is the number of iterations, and the second is time. In this paper, we introduce new iterative, it has been generalized to a number of algorithms, such as the algorithm used in27, which is considered a generalization of the Ishikawa's iteration algorithm.

The modal properties of optical fibers were calculated at core radii (1.45–5.05) µm in 1.20 µm increments. In this work, the calculation was performed at a wavelength of 1.030 µm using the RP Fiber Calculator software (free version 2025). The results demonstrated that when the core radius is comparable wavelength, the fiber supports only the fundamental mode, indicating single-mode operation; whereas larger core radii lead to multimode behavior. The study involved analyzing optical properties of step index fibers with core and cladding refractive indices of  = 1.469 and  = 1.46, respectively. The computed properties included the cut-off wavelength, effective area, power in the core, effective refractive index, and propagation cons

Survival analysis is a fundamental statistical tool for studying the period leading up to a specific event, such as patient death or device failure. Interest in this analysis has grown due to its ability to provide accurate insights into survival rates and survival function estimation in various fields. This paper modifies the Log-logistic Distribution ( ) by adding a shape parameter to enhance its ability to predict more effectively.  After that, a new hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm (PSWGO), combining particle swarm optimization with the gray wolf algorithm, is proposed to estimate the survival function. To compare and investigate the performance of the proposed algorithm with three meta-heuristic algorithms (particle swarm optimizati

This paper shows new approximate ways to solve nonlinear ordinary differential equations using two methods that repeat steps: the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and the optimal Adomian decomposition method (OADM). These equations are extensively utilized in fluid dynamics and engineering. The OADM sets itself apart by incorporating an optimal control parameter that enhances solution accuracy and accelerates convergence, providing a distinct advantage over the ADM. The two methods have been applied to three important equations: the Darcy-Brinkmann-Forchheimer moment equation, the Blasius equation, and the Falkner-Skan equation. The effectiveness of the two methods was assessed by looking at how quickly they converged and the largest e

In this paper, we investigated the concept of ε-diskcyclic operators on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space . A bounded linear operator  is called -diskcyclic if there exists a vector in  such that its disk orbit  visits every cone of aperture . That is, for every non-zero vector in , there exist in  where  and  in  such that . Such a vector  is then called an ε-diskcyclic vector for .

We established several properties of ε-diskcyclic operators. In particular, we showed that every -diskcyclic operator is cyclic. Moreover, we examined the relationship between ε-diskcyclic vectors of  and eigenvectors of the adjoint operator  that cannot be orthogonal to each other. We also proved that if
