Klebsiella pneumoniae is a notorious pathogenic bacterium, armed with multiple virulence factors, and is commonly associated with pneumonia infections. One of the virulence factors helps K. pneumonia to cause many diseases and escape immune system and antimicrobial effect is biofilm construction. Therefore, the overall aim was to investigate the genic profile for K. pneumonia that formed and non-formed biofilm. The result revealed that around half of the isolates did not form biofilm and this may because luxS gene was present in only two isolates forming biofilm and absent in others while fimH genes were absent in all other isolates. K. pneumonia isolates were sensitive to green tea,

Show MoreIn recent years, the graph-based approach has become increasingly popular for modeling real-world data because graphs represent a wide variety of data, such as social networks and trajectory mining. In this paper, we propose a Weighted Adjacency Matrix (WAM) for constructing a graph based on edges from the features of each trajectory and a vertex from the frame number. In trajectory mining, finding objects that have similar patterns of motion is a common data analysis; thus, selecting effective algorithms is necessary for grouping information and showing trajectories as graphs. A new algorithm is proposed to calculate Graph Trajectory Similarity (GTS) between two trajectories of graphs, the Nodes Similarity Function (NSF). The NSF is int

This extract also catalyzed the polymerization of poly methylmetha acrylate, resulting in the formation of nanocomposites [PMMA\Y2O3\La2O3]. The morphology, size, and structures of the synthesized nanocomposites were determined and characterized using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), x-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis, and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), tested by antioxidant activity and antibacterial activity. To confirm the design of nanoc

Subsequently, Schiff bases [A1-A3] were prepared by reacting compound [A] with various aromatic aldehydes in the presence of glacial acetic acid. Acid derivatives containing oxazolidinone ring [A4- A6] were synthesized from the reaction of Schiff bases [A1- A3] with chloroacetic acid. The resulting compounds [A4-A6] reacted with thionyl chloride to produce the corresponding acid chloride [A7-A9]. Polyesters [A10-A12] were produced by reacting polyvinyl alcohol with compounds [A7-A9]. All prepared compounds were characterized using infrared spectroscopy FTIR and

Soliton generation in microresonator is studied numerically using the Lugiato-Lefever equation (LLE). Optically induced effects, duration, and shape are studied via the adaptive split-step Fourier method (SSFM). It investigates how the microresonator affects the evolution of the optical field in cases of nonlinearity, dispersion, slow time, and fast time. A study is done on the optical frequency comb produced and the frequency domain dynamics of the microresonator. The generated soliton wave was a dispersive soliton. The study shows that the soliton generation and its properties depend strongly on the parameters included in this study.
The objective of this study is to examine the impact of the administration of levothyroxine (T4), insulin-like growth factor-1, zinc, selenium, and vitamin B12 for 2 months to methimazole-induced hypothyroid adult male Wistar albino eight-week-old rats weighing 180–250 gm were bought from the Ilam Lab of Animals and n=8 was for each group. The thyroid hormones, thyroid stimulating hormone, and ultrastructure of follicular cells by transmission electron microscope were compared between the control group and 7 groups of hypothyroid rats treated with T4, insulin-like growth factor-1, T4 + insulin-like growth factor-1, T4+zinc, T4+selenium, T4+ selenium, and T4+zinc +selenium + vitamin B12, respectively. The hypothyroid rats displayed a si

Data preprocessing techniques such as missing value handling and feature selection ensure r
... Show MoreIncreasing the exposure time of radio wave radiation to human tissues is an important factor affecting the SAR (the specific absorption rate) values. This leads to the question of whether overlapping or interfering with electromagnetic waves has a negative impact on our health. Specific absorption rates (SAR) were calculated for the multilayered model of a human head model through different exposure times (30 min, 45 min, 1 hour, 1.5 hours, and 2 hours) at radio wave frequencies of 0.9 GHz and 1.8 GHz emitted from the mobile phones with planer inverted-F antenna (PIFA) and planar monopole antenna. The electromagnetic wave equation was solved using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method (FDTD). Different physical phenomena (penetration
... Show MoreIn this work, InSe thin films were deposited on glass substrates by thermal evaporation technique with a deposit rate of (2.5∓0.2) nm/sec. The thickness of the films was around (300∓10) nm, and the thin films were annealed at (100, 200 and 300)°C. The structural, morphology, and optical properties of Indium selenide thin films were studied using X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscope and UV–Visible spectrometry respectively. X-ray diffraction analyses showed that the as deposited thin films have amorphous structures. At annealing temperature of 100°C and 200°C, the films show enhanced crystalline nature, but at 300°C the film shows a polycrystalline structure with Rhombohedral phas

Show MoreIn this paper, the effect of sulfur substitution by arsenic on the structural, optical properties of thin films of the trivalent chalcogenide Se66S44-xAsx at different concentrations (where x = 0, 8, 16, and 24 at %) was studied. Thin films with a thickness of (300±10 nm) were prepared using thermal evaporation of bulk samples. Structural examinations were performed using XRD and AFM techniques. All the studied film samples were amorphous in structure and the intensity of the crystalline parts was high in the range of 10-40. Also, in Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). It was found that increasing the concentration of arsenic affects the structural parameters such as surface roughness, particle density, and average grain size. As the ar
