Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology has offered a good solution tool for automating toll collection system processing and contributing solutions to complications such as traffic congestion, environmental problems, and operational inefficiencies. The investigation focuses on improving and organizing an ANPR-based system to allow smooth toll charging and letting cars pass through toll gates without pausing. The suggested system uses a deep learning algorithm and developed image processing techniques to consistently detect and recognize license plates of vehicles in real-time, even in difficult conditions, for instance, fast motion, low lighting, and bad weather. The ANPR system is connected to a centralize
... Show MoreThe pathogen "Pseudomonas aeruginosa" is extremely hazardous for people with weak immune systems because it has several virulence factors and can resist antibiotics. During the time period between October 2022 and February 2023, 102 specimens from different clinical sources, including burn, mid-stream urine, wound, ear, and sputum were collected. From 102 clinical specimens, only 33 isolates (32.35%) of P. aeruginosa were identified by Phenotypic characteristics, a biochemical test, the Vitek-2 compact system, and confirmed by Conventional Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The antibiotic susceptibility test AST was done by the Vitek 2-Compact system. The highest resistance percentages were for Cephalosporin category at 8
... Show MoreThis study's primary objective was to create nanotechnology-based, precisely regulated drug delivery devices. Antibiotic Amoxicillin was chosen, and chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) were chosen to transport the medicine. Using the ionic gelation process, chitosan solution NPs were synthesized using tripolyphosphate (TPP). Antibiotic-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) were then used to create a nanocomposite with good performance. The resultant nanocomposite can be put to use as an effective, non-toxic antimicrobial agent. CMCS has a considerably wider range of uses as an anti-bacterial agent than chitosan since it is soluble in a wide pH range. Due to its water solubility, Ten S. mutans isolates were purified in two mediums, making it e

Show MoreThis research presents a synthesis approach for BSCCO superconductor with barium (Ba) substitution, involving a minor substitution at a fixed ratio of lead (Pb) and europium (Eu) through the chemical sol-gel method. The systematic exploration involves incorporating 0.1 of Eu instead of Bi into the BSCCO matrix to comprehend its impact on superconducting properties and the feasibility of producing superconducting material using the sol-gel route. Superconductor samples denoted as Bi1.6Pb0.3Eu0.1Sr2-yBayCa2Cu3O10+δ, where y varies from 0.0 to 0.3, were prepared. The investigation focused on understanding the effect of partially substituting Ba for Sr o
... Show MoreThe problem of estimating the number of clusters k is considered one of the major challenges for partition clustering. The k-means algorithm is a division-based clustering method where only objects are entered into a set of K, and the algorithm decides the number group initially, but there is no specific way to estimate the best number for the cluster. The outcome of the clustering process can be better after being performed in more than one attempt. Therefore, the optimal count of iterations can be identified through a steady method in advance that can determine the time and number of rounds. So, the problem is finding the optimal number (k) in an easy and fast way. The aim of this paper is to use a genetic algorithm (GA) with
... Show MoreRectangular gravity separators are commonly used within wastewater treatment systems to remove fat, oil, and grease from water. The performance of these vessels is dependent to a great extent on the uniformity of the flow, since turbulence and recirculating eddies tend to break drops together, thus reducing the separation efficiency. Therefore, adding the inlet baffle is a feasible way to improve the hydraulic stability in the separator. To simulate the characteristics of flow in the gravity separator tanks, a two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of a single-phase flow has been developed with Flow-3D (v11.04). The numerical model employed was based on the Finite Volume Method (FVM), used the Volume of

The first was located within the Bazian Plain, while the second was in Sulaymaniyah plain, and the third was located within the plain of Shahrazur, in order to study the effect of parent material and toposequence on the status and distribution of Iron oxides in these soils. Results Shows that there is a differences in the amount and distribution of free iron oxides between the studied pedons, and even within one Pedon. These differences can be attributed to the effect of the difference in the parent materials and topography.

The ErbB family of tyrosine kinase receptors plays a fundamental part in signal transmission, controlling cell proliferation and survival. Signalling outputs of the ErbB receptors are tightly controlled under normal physiological conditions. However, genomic amplification, overexpression or mutational activation of these receptors and their signalling proteins is a common cause of cancer. This narrative review provides an overview of the structure, activation, and modes by which these receptors are dysregulated in oncogenesis. The critical downstream signalling pathways of RAS/

The frequency response analysis of the vibrating system is dependant in order to analyze and synthesis this semi-active damping, where the suggested process is using active filter to estimate the present frequency of the vibration system, and this will limit the value of the stiffness of the vibrated system. Two active filter s are needed, low-pass-filter (LPF) to choose the higher stiffness of the actuator at small frequencies as well as more damping and high-pass-filter (HPF) to choose the lower stiffness of the actuator at high frequencies as well as more damping, and so
