The article studies the integration of artificial neural networks (ANNs) in the phylogenetic analysis of scriptinformatics, focusing on the historical evolution of Arabic, Aramaic, and Middle Iranian scripts. By treating scripts as taxa, pattern systems are exploited to delineate evolutionary trajectories, utilizing an optimised feature selection method and neural network architectures fitnet and feedforwardnet. The presented approach leverages publicly accessible genetic sequence datasets and applies comprehensive preprocessing, including a novel feature extraction process, normalisation, and cross-validation, to predict phylogenetic tree lengths. The results indicate a superior performance of the feedforward neural network, pa

This has led to an increase in pollutants and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2). Therefore, it was necessary to find sustainable environmental solutions to reduce these gases, one of which is the biological sequestration of CO2 using trees. Therefore, this study aimed to calculate CO2 sequestration from trees using field data and biological methods for the Yamama City residential complex in Baghdad. The results showed that the complex's trees, numbering 3788, contributed to sequestering 197039.2 kg/year. This amount varies between four types (Conocarpus,

This paper studied the emission of air pollutants (nitrogen dioxide, NO2, sulfur dioxide, SO2, and particulate matter PM2.5) in the city center of Nasiriyah. The data were taken from the European Mediterranean Weather Forecast (ECMWF) during the year (2022). The pollutant roses were plotted, which show the most pollutant source from the northwest direction of the electric power plant in the city and another source from the south (Nasiriyah refinery and Saba oil field). The daily rates of NO2, SO2 and PM2.5 con

Also, it examined patients' gene methylation levels for stomach ulcers, gastritis [acute and chronic], and duodenal ulcers and cancer risk. Using MS-RT-PCR, BCL-9 methylation was associated more strongly with clinical variables. Substantial differences in BCL-9 methylation between patients and controls (median 1.368, Interquartile Range [0.912-1.468] vs. 1.001, [0.861-1.211], p<0.05). Interestingly, males had substantially greater BCL-9 methylation levels than females (median 1.186, Interquartile Range [1.139-1.308] vs. 0.986, Interquartile Range [0.875-1.150], p<0.05). A sig

The theorem for existence a unique quaternary state vector solution (QSVS) for the weak formulation (WFO) of the QNLHS is proved in an infinite dimensional space via the method of Galerkin, and the help of the Aubin’s Theorem with given a continuous boundary control quaternary vector (CBCQV). The continuity of the operator of Lipschitz between the quaternary state vector and the conforming quaternary boundary control vector is demonstrated. The existence theorem of a continuous boundary optimal

Biometric databases face challenges primarily due to the high dimensional nature of biometric features, such as fingerprints, facial recognition data, and iris scans, leading to time consumption in retrieval and matching as well as computationally intensive, and inefficiencies that can hinder real-time applications, especially when using multiple biometric traits. To address these issues, this paper presents a mechanism for searching three-dimensional biometric databases based on inverted files specifically tailored to handle biometric data. As well as designing a 3D database to store data. This method was a

Due to the above reason, 20 Lactobacillus isolates were collected from various sources and then primarily enrolled in a screening program to assess their activities of antagonism against two oral pathogens, Streptococcus pluranimalium and Staphylococcus aureus. Twenty Lactobacillus isolates were selected from the initial screening based on their efficacy to suppress the growth of the two chosen indicators which was then followed by another step of secondary screening to detect their production of the high amount of bacteriocin and their effec

Show MoreProgrammed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) may be in a position to interact hydrophobically with the spike glycoprotein or its epitopes of SARS-CoV-2, which, in addition to the neuroinvasive capability it possesses, triggers hyperactivation of the Program Death Ligand1. A case-control study (67 COVID-19 patients and 23 healthy controls) was conducted to detect the role of soluble Program Death-Ligand1 (sPDL-1). The sPD-L1 serum concentrations were measured with an ELISA kit, while the SARS-CoV-2 infection was determined earlier via a real-time PCR evaluation kit. The findings demonstrated that median sPD-L1 levels in patients were substantially more significant compared to healthy controls (1349 vs. 737.8 pg/ml; p < 0.

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is the first recognized human oncogenic virus capable of establishing asymptomatic, lifelong persistence. The KRAS gene, a member of the Rat sarcoma oncogene family, accounts for 85% of RAS mutations identified in human cancers and is present in 35% of lung adenocarcinomas (LUADs). This work examines the relationship between EBV IgG seropositivity, KRAS mutation-related immunogenicity, and the genetic polymorphism rs121913238, emphasizing their collective influence on oncogenic signaling, immune evasion, and modifications in the tumor

... Show MoreThe gravity method is a measurement of relatively noticeable variations in the Earth’s gravitational field caused by lateral variations in rock's density. In the current research, a new technique is applied on the previous Bouguer map of gravity surveys (conducted from 1940–1950) of the last century, by selecting certain areas in the South-Western desert of Iraqi-territory within the provinces' administrative boundary of Najaf and Anbar. Depending on the theory of gravity inversion where gravity values could be reflected to density-contrast variations with the depths; so, gravity data inversion can be utilized to calculate the models of density and velocity from four selected depth-slices 9.63 Km, 1.1 Km, 0.682 Km and 0.407 Km.

Simple and sensitive spectrophotometric method is described based on the coupling reaction of tetracycline hydrochloride(TC. HCl) with diazotized 4-aminopyridine in bulk and pharmaceutical forms. Colored azo dye formed during this reaction is measured at 433 nm as a function of time. Factors affecting the reaction yield were studied and the conditions were optimized. The kinetic study involves initial rate and fixed time (10 minutes) procedures for constructing the calibration graphs to determine the concentration of (TC. HCl). The graphs were linear for both methods in concentration range of 10.0 to 100.0 µg.mL-1. The recommended procedure was applied successfully in the determination of (TC. HCl) in itscommercial formulations.
... Show MoreCdSe/CdS Core/shell nanostructures were prepared through the chemical synthesis method. XRD ,FESEM and TEM investigations confirmed the formation of core/shell structure for the sample. The AFM measurement was employed to reveal the morphology of the prepared thin films. Optical characterizations of the quantum dots were done by UV-visible and photoluminescence spectra. It was found that the quantum dots prepared has good optical properties. Due to the presence of shell coating on core CdSe, the energy gap of the core/shell nanomaterial were increased from 2.2 to 2.3eV. The resulted QDs are a promising candidate for photovoltaic and biosensor applications.
