Through recent years many researchers have developed methods to estimate the self-similarity and long memory parameter that is best known as the Hurst parameter. In this paper, we set a comparison between nine different methods. Most of them use the deviations slope to find an estimate for the Hurst parameter like Rescaled range (R/S), Aggregate Variance (AV), and Absolute moments (AM), and some depend on filtration technique like Discrete Variations (DV), Variance versus level using wavelets (VVL) and Second-order discrete derivative using wavelets (SODDW) were the comparison set by a simulation study to find the most efficient method through MASE. The results of simulation experiments were shown that the performance of the meth

Toxic substances have been released into water supplies in recent decades because of fast industrialization and population growth. Fenton electrochemical process has been addressed to treat wastewater which is very popular because of its high efficiency and straightforward design. One of the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) is electro-Fenton (EF) process, and electrode material significantly affects its performance. Nickel foam was chosen as the source of electro-generated hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) due to its good characteristics. In the present study, the main goals were to explore the effects of operation parameters (FeSO4 concentration, current density, and electrolysis time) on the catalytic performance that was optimized by r

Deepfake is a type of artificial intelligence used to create convincing images, audio, and video hoaxes and it concerns celebrities and everyone because they are easy to manufacture. Deepfake are hard to recognize by people and current approaches, especially high-quality ones. As a defense against Deepfake techniques, various methods to detect Deepfake in images have been suggested. Most of them had limitations, like only working with one face in an image. The face has to be facing forward, with both eyes and the mouth open, depending on what part of the face they worked on. Other than that, a few focus on the impact of pre-processing steps on the detection accuracy of the models. This paper introduces a framework design focused on this asp

     The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between microRNA 378 and BMP15 gene expression levels in blood samples collected from 50 healthy fertile females as controls and 50 hyperprolactinemia infertile females by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Specific primers were designed for this purpose based on the sequences of microRNA 378 and BMP15 retrieved from NCBI and designed by primer 3 software. The result assessing the expression level of BMP15 in hyperprolactinemia (HPL) was 0.220, while the control group's fold change value was 1.000. The HPL group showed downregulation in the expression of the BMP15 gene. While the fold expression values of the miRNA378 gene in the hyperprolactinemia

Microalgae have been increasingly used for wastewater treatment due to their capacity to assimilate nutrients. Samples of wastewater were taken from the Erbil wastewater channel near Dhahibha village in northern Iraq. The microalga Coelastrella sp. was used in three doses (0.2, 1, and 2g. l^-1) in this experiment for 21 days, samples were periodically (every 3 days) analyzed for physicochemical parameters such as pH, EC, Phosphate, Nitrate, and BOD₅, in addition to, Chlorophyll a concentration. Results showed that the highest dose 2g.l^-1 was the most effective dose for removing nutrients, confirmed by significant differences (p≤0.05) between all doses. The highest removal percentage was

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the impact of rabbit serum on skin wound healing with the help of histological examination. Materials and Methods: A total of ten indigenous rabbits were used in this study. The animals were divided into two groups: control and serum- treated. The histological assessment was done with a paraffin embedding technique and the histological sections were stained with H&E stain. Results: Severe infiltration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes with severe fibrin deposits were seen in serum treated group at 2 days post-injury; at 7 days post-injury the changes revealed moderate fibroplasia, fibrin deposit and severe infiltration of both mononuclear and polymorphonuclear leukocytes; at 14 days post-inju

Seeking pharmacist advice about minor ailments is a common practice among Iraqi patients because such advice is free and quick. Unfortunately, the assessment and management of minor ailments by Iraqi pharmacists were inappropriate. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a model for a mobile application that can assist community pharmacists in the diagnosis and management of minor ailments.

Culex mosquitoes are important vectors of several human and animal diseases, including filariasis and various forms of encephalitis, making the control of their larvae a public health priority. In this study, Culex pipiens larvae were collected from a pond within the botanical garden of the Ibn Al-Haitham College of Education for Pure Sciences, and Aloe vera leaves were also collected from the same college's gardens. Aqueous Aloe vera extract was prepared and tested for its larval bactericidal activity against Culex pipiens mosquitoes under controlled laboratory conditions. Larvae of all four larval stages were exposed to a range of extract concentrations (10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%) in five replicates, each contai

In recent years, significant advancements have been made in deep learning technology within the field of speech applications, which has resulted in an increased interest in accent classification. The growing need for accurate speech recognition technology requires enhancing the ability of machines to identify accents, which results in giving a critical challenge in speech processing. The variety of English accents poses significant difficulties for automated speech recognition (ASR) systems, adversely impacting transcription accuracy and speaker intelligibility. This study aims to address this challenge by developing a deep learning model efficient in accurately classifying regional English dialects throughout the United Kingdom and Irel

Hard disk drives (HDDs) and recent data storage technologies are anticipated to play a transformative part in the development of information technology. Heat-assisted magnetic recording and its applications are one of the most significant technologies in this field, offering a pathway to noticeably higher storage densities. The thermal gradient in the tetralayer thin-film structure was generated by utilizing pulses of a femtosecond laser to produce a spin current. the tetralayer is made of an Al₂O₃- Py (Ni81Fe19)- MgO- Copper - YIG (Y₃Fe₅O₁₂)- and Gd₃Ga₅O₁₂ layers. To model the heat transfer and thermal gradients within this structure, COMSOL Multiphysics® software is used to conduct a detailed three-dimensional (3D)

Fungi are important decomposers of complex organic pollutants and have an enormous potential for use in bioremediation of petroleum-laden environments. In the current study, we investigated the diversity, distribution, and oil-degrading potential of fungi isolated from petroleum-contaminated soils in Iraq, specifically Baiji Refinery and Middle Oil Company. Fifteen soil samples were collected from each location as outlined between the months of September and November 2024. Fungal isolates were purified and identified based on morphological and microscopic examinations of the fungi using standard taxonomic keys. A total of 232 isolates were obtained, largely belonging to Ascomycota, with the predominant species being Aspergillus flavu

This study investigates the effectiveness of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) resistance training in enhancing mobility, balance, and stability in middle-aged adults, key factors for maintaining independence and reducing fall risk. A total of 48 participants (mean age 55.72 ± 1.85 years; mean height 1.74 ± 0.06 m; mean weight 73.47 ± 8.18 kg) were randomly assigned to either a BFR training group or a control group. The BFR group completed a 12-week low-intensity resistance training program, while the control group followed a traditional exercise routine. Functional Movement Screen (FMS) tests assessed mobility, balance, and stability before and after the intervention.

Results revealed significant improvements in the BFR group for b
