This work was conducted to study the protective role of Moringa oliefera seeds extract (MSE) against the toxic effect of commercial lead nanoparticles (CPbNP) in rats. Twenty eight albino male rats were divided into four groups (seven animals in each one) as follow: (A) control group, (B) 160mg/kg body weight per day (b. wt./d.) of M. oliefera (MSE)seed extract, (C): 5mg CPbNP/kg b. wt./d. and (D): MSE + CPbNP. The experimental period was 45 days. Blood was drawn for protein and enzyme estimation at the end of the period of exposure. The rats were dissected and the liver, kidney, spleen and muscle were isolated for Pb estimation. Results showed that the levels of bioaccumulated lead, serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, malondialdehyde were significantly increased in exposed animals to CPbNP (P < 0.05). In contrast, there was a significant reduction of total proteins, albumin, glutathione, superoxide dismutase enzyme and catalase enzyme activities (P < 0. 05) in comparison to control. But the administration of the CPbNP with MSE, all the above biochemical changes were improved significantly. It is concluded that CPbNP has a significant toxic effect on rats, and that seed extract of M. Oleifera can reduce it.

The inhibitory activity of 5 plant extracts, Allium sativum, Opuntia ficus-indica, Malva parviflora, Mentha spicata and Plantago lanceolata with concentration 50 % and 100 % were assessed against the mycelial growth of Pythium fungus in vivo and in vitro. Results showed that all the concentrations of plant extracts give significant inhibition in the mycelial growth of Pythium fungus; the highest concentration (100 %) prevented large amounts of mycelial growth followed by lower concentration (50 %) of plant extracts. Opuntia extract at 100 % concentration gave great effective in inhibition of Pythium's mycelial production, which gave 100 per cent inhibition ratio while 50 per cent concentration gave 77.28 % inhibition ratio followed by other plant extracts, Mentha, Allium sativum, Plantago, then Malva respectively. In vivo experiments, tomato seed infused in five plant extracts separately and then sown with soil contaminated with Pythium fungus and watered after that with these five plant extracts. After 30 days, the length of the stems and roots were measured in centimetres. While the tomato seeds which were soaked with distilled water and then sown in polluted soil with fungus Pythium, and watered with distilled water (control) did not show any growth.

Objective: This project aimed to study the morphological description and histological structure of ileum in Iraqi black partridge (Francolinus francolinus). Methods: To conduct this investigation, 20 healthy Iraqi black partridge were collected from local suppliers. Birds were euthanized, dissected and then specimens were processed for histological and histochemical staining techniques. Results: A morphological study showed that the ileum appears as a short narrow tubular structure. It extends from the wide end of the jejunum and ends in the Ileo-caecal junction region. Histologically, the wall ileum consists of four tunica mucosa, submucosa, muscularis and serosa. The mucosa was lined by simple columnar epithelium with goblet cells. The muscularis mucosa is arranged in two thick layers of smooth muscle fibers, outer longitudinal and inner circular bundles. The tunica submucosa was a thin layer of fibrous connective tissue. Tunica serosa was loose connective tissue covered by mesothelium. The goblet cells gave a positive reaction with PAS stain. Conclusion: Goblet cells neutral mucopolysaccharide secretions; in fact, the latter stain is an indicator mucin substance which are very important in digestion and absorption and subsequent body growth of the bird.

Yangonin "Ya" has been used for centuries as a herbal supplement, for its mood-altering properties. It has been used as a recreation agent, for relaxation, as well as for pain relief. However, hepatotoxicity is a widespread problem associated with medicines in general. Most herbal supplements are metabolized by the liver, and thus the liver represents the target organ. At present, Yangonin toxicity appears to be "idiosyncratic". Therefore, a study was designed in order to investigate the organelle-based changes in hepatocytes, after treatment with Yangonin alone and in combination with EtOH. Thirty rats were divided into five groups comprising of six animals each. The groups comprised of the control groups {(NCx) & (PCx)}, Yangonin (Ya) group, ethanol (EtOH) group, and the combination of (Ya) and ethanol (EtOH+Ya) group. The experiment was conducted over a period of 14 weeks, as a sub-chronic study. At the end of the 14 th week, mitochondria, peroxisome, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, and nuclei of hepatocytes, were evaluated using a scoring system. The results were compared with histopathological findings, as well. Treatment with Ya significantly induced hepatotoxic scores as compared to the control groups. Organelle injury scores increased significantly with Ya treatment, while rats that received "EtOH+Ya" showed the severest lesions of liver scores such as, severe hepatocellular degeneration, necrosis, and hypertrophy. Ultrastructural and histopathological scores in both groups were in very strong correlation (r = 0.928 for EtOH, r = 0.921 for Ya alone and r = 0.903 for Ya plus EtOH group). In conclusion, ethanol enhanced the sedative and hypnotic activity of Ya, and markedly increased toxicity. Findings based on TEM examination of organelles, supported the histological results as well as tissue lesions/injuries in hepatocytes, a result of hepatotoxin-induced hepatopathy.

The interface between the ions in groundwater affects the biogeochemical behaviour of metal, and metal bioremediate by bacteria. Therefore, this study was aimed to predict the influence of pH, calcium, phosphate and humic acid on cadmium availability in artificial groundwater (AGW). Speciation and the thermodynamic calculation (MINTEQ program) were used to predict this in AGW theoretically. In results, cadmium availability diminished with an increase in pH, increase of calcium concentration and the addition of phosphate and humic acid of AGW. According to MINTEQ program, cadmium binds to some cations leaving fewer free cadmium ions available in AGW such as CdHCO3+, Cd(SO4)22-, CdCl+, CdHPO4, HA1-Cd, FA1-Cd, FA2-Cd, and HA2-Cd. It is suggested though that pH in AGW is maintained at pH 4.00 for best availability of cadmium and bioremediate by bacteria.

Somatic embryogenesis is a valuable tool for investigating the totipotency of plant cells. A simple and efficient protocol for inducing somatic embryogenesis from seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana were established. Surface sterilized seeds were placed on agar-solidified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium free from growth regulators. Callus initiation began 7 days after seeds culture and became visible with the naked eye within 10-14 days. It was friable and yellowish white in color. Within 20 days, callus was transferred to Gamborg's B5 medium containing 1.0 mgL-1 2, 4-D (2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) and 0.05 mgL−1 Kin for multiplication. The results indicated that somatic embryos had been recorded only in B5 medium supplemented with 0.4 mgL−1 TDZ (N-phenyl-N'-1,2, 3-thidiazol-5-ylurea) and it was the best one. Through our observation, different stages of somatic embryos have been found. The results revealed that the continuous transfer of small masses containing several embryos at different stages to the same induction medium subsequently formed a large cluster of shoots, which were rooted in MS medium free from growth regulators and MS hormone-free medium with 0.2activated charcoal. The percentages of rooting were 63% and 51% respectively. This study proved that Arabidopsis thaliana seeds are a novel source for somatic embryos.

One of the major health problems causing defects or damage to one or more of the four heart valves [aortic, mitral, pulmonary, and tricuspid] is valvular heart disease [VHD]; it occurs due to congenital abnormalities or acquired pathology. It is a defect that results in weak heart valves and is therefore unable to function as precise pathways of the blood. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the ferroxidase activity of ceruloplasmin (Cp) and the lipid profile of valvular heart disease patients in sera. Ninety subjects were included in this study and 60 patients with HDV were divided into two subgroups according to the affected valve: 33 patients with aortic valve disease (AV) and 27 patients with mitral valve disease (MV group). In addition, 30 healthy individuals were registered in all groups as control(C) group Serum copper (Cu), total protein (TP), activity and specific activity of ferroxidase Cp, and lipid profile were measured. The results showed that there was a highly significant increase in patient (AV & MV) groups compared to the C group in activity, specific Cp and Cu activity levels. In addition, compared to the C group, triglyceride (TG) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) levels showed a highly significant increase in the AV and MV groups. No significant differences were found between patients and control groups in TP, Total Cholesterol (TC), Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) & High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. Likewise, for all parameters, there were no significant differences between the AV and MV groups. In conclusion, the high serum level of Cu and the activity of Cp ferroxidase may be considered to be a risk factor for VHD.

The speech signals inserted in the computer may be mixed as a result of interference with signals from other sources. These signals may be speech signals or noise. One of the most famous examples of this problem when a group of people speaking in the same time is the "Cocktail Party". This problem produces a mixture of different speech signals, called the mixed signal. To solve this problem, the audio signals that make up the mixed-signal must be restored to their sources. This task is called separating audio sources. In this paper, supervised Deep Recurrent Neural Networks with Bi-directional Long Short Term Memory (Supervised DRNN-BLSTM) were used. To achieve a monaural source separation, we build a model to separate audio signals from a monaural mixed signal. This mixed signal consists of two different audio signals (male-female). We predict two types of time-frequency masks (Ideal Ratio Mask (IRM), and Optimal Ratio Mask (ORM). They are used to achieve the separation of the target audio sources from the mixed signal. We test the model on a dataset with (500) mixed signals. Each mixed signal three seconds in length and consists of two speaker signals (Female-Male). They are recorded in a stereo format at 8192kHz, our approach achieves Signal-to-Distortion ratio (SDR) (0.183.db), Source-to-interference Ratio (SIR) (0.198.db), and Source-to-Artifacts Ratio (SAR) (0.13.db) gain using (ORM) mask compared to the existing model using (IRM) mask.

In order to enhance the production efficiency, scheduling problem of job-shop has used that thought of complex problem with complicated constraints and structure. This problem is characterized as NP-hard. In most cases, the excessive complexity of the problem makes it difficult to discover the best solution within affordable time. Hence, searching for estimated solutions in polynomial time rather than precise solutions at excessive cost is favored for challenging situations of the problem. In this paper, a parallel genetic algorithm with proposed adaptive genetic operators and migration operation is applied for job-shop scheduling problem. Through tests on numerous different experimental cases, the adaptive operator of genetic algorithm and the parallelism strategy are considerably improving the results effectively while decreasing the computation time. Also, the migration operation gives a greater effect on the performance of the algorithms.

The study was suggested a diagnosis method to sound sensitivity by developing a framework with IoT and cloud based on a facial expression recognition system. It was achieved through the creation of a cognitive IoT hardware-based environment and the elements of the programs that are implemented to test the behaviour of people suffering from sound sensitivity, this operation is done by using a camera and image processing and it used Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) as a facial recognition software to track human facial emotions through live video. The sentiment values were analysed that they were collected and stored in a cloud using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) protocol. These emotions were categorized as abnormal or normal. Normal states represented by happy or natural feelings that give the impression that the environment is suitable for people's senses and that they do not suffer from discomfort towards this environment, therefore; the system operates on a mechanism to increase the volume in this environment by using an Arduino microcontroller. Although the device operates automatically in the event of hypersensitivity detection, it reduces this severity. The obtained results showed the efficiency of the proposed system in recognizing facial emotions with 80% accuracy.

COVID 19 has spread rapidly around the world due to the lack of a suitable vaccine; therefore the early prediction of those infected with this virus is extremely important attempting to control it by quarantining the infected people and giving them possible medical attention to limit its spread. This work suggests a model for predicting the COVID 19 virus using feature selection techniques. The proposed model consists of three stages which include the preprocessing stage, the features selection stage, and the classification stage. This work uses a data set consists of 8571 records, with forty features for patients from different countries. Two feature selection techniques are used in order to select the best features that affect the prediction of the proposed model. These are the Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) as wrapper feature selection and the Extra Tree Classifier (ETC) as embedded feature selection. Two classification methods are applied for classifying the features vectors which include the Naïve Bayesian method and Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) method. The results were 56.181%, 97.906% respectively when classifying all features and 66.329%, 99.924% respectively when classifying the best ten features using features selection techniques.

Air pollution has a wide and great influence on the concentration of constituents of the atmosphere, which leads to many effects such as acid rains and global warming. In order to avoid such unwanted adverse imbalances in the nature, designing an air pollution monitoring system (APMS) is very important. This paper discussed the development of an effective solution for monitoring the air pollution by making an Arduino-Based Air Pollution Monitoring System (APMS). Carbon monoxide and Carbon Dioxide concentration levels in air were measured and monitored using MQ4 and MQ7 gas sensors and Arduino atmega microcontroller. These sensors can detect many harmful gases and can be used for measuring their amount very accurately. The concentrations of CO and CO2 in particle per million (PPM) will be monitored and displayed on the LCD very easily. Based on these measurements the pollution level could be monitored, determined, and displayed. The experiments were carried out using the developed wireless APMS under various physical conditions. The results showed that the designed system collects reliable and reasonable real time pollution data. Three hour sampling time was executed in each location. One of the logical functions that are widely used is fuzzy logic. A fuzzy logic artificial intelligence for gas sensors is used which clarifies the presence as well as the concentration of CO and CO2 efficiently. Fuzzy logic will gives the decision about whether the air is polluted or unpolluted. This logic function we can process some existing data into a form of output which can be in the form of a status or state of action that will be performed by a tool. This proposed system will contribute in the construction of an APMS in the outdoor or even in the indoor environment.

Animal detection techniques are one of the researcher's interests and challenge. There are many difficulties faces by the researchers in this field that reduce the detection performance and efficiency, such as variation of image illumination, animal occlusion, the similarity of animal colors with background environment, etc.

Multi-label Image Detection and classification of Mammals animals is the goal of this paper which we proposed to achieve in this proposal by using Single Shot Multi-Box Detector (SSD) and MobileNet v1 coco_2017 model. Localizing and classifying multiple objects (animals) of the Mammal category in digital images is another goal. The suggested SSD is regarded as a more accurate, fast, and efficient way to detect objects of different sizes based on deep learning technology.

In this proposal, we used 2000 images in the network were collected from the standard dataset (such as Caltech 101) and the net. The SSD framework improves the detection and recognition processes of Convolution Neural Network (CNN). During the prediction time, the network introduces scores to the presence of every object class and bounded each object in the image with a box. Each box has a label that indicates the type of the object and the score represents the probability of the relationship of the object to that type. Boxes during the process are modified for getting the best matching to the object's shape. The experimental results of this work proved the efficiency of classifying and detecting animals even in the variation of illumination, pose, and occlusion. Detection and classification accuracy is up to 98.7 %. This suggestion is more reliable and accurate than other similar works and detects a wide range of Mammals animals, unlike other similar works.

The art of preventing the detection of hidden information messages is the way that steganography work. Several algorithms have been proposed for steganographic techniques. A major portion of these algorithms is specified for image steganography because the image has a high level of redundancy. This paper proposed an image steganography technique using a dynamic threshold produced by the discrete cosine coefficient. After dividing the green and blue channel of the cover image into 1*3-pixel blocks, check if any bits of green channel block less or equal to threshold then start to store the secret bits in blue channel block, and to increase the security not all bits in the chosen block used to store the secret bits. Firstly, store in the center of the block and then store another bit in the write or left bit depended on differences between them.

The proposed method was applied to many color images and many measurement terms used to show the efficiency of it. The experiment result showed good result that the PSNR = 53.76, MSE = 0.273, SSIM= 0.999, with embedding rates 0.55

In the field of data processing and analysis, the dataset may be a large set of features that restrict data usability and applicability, and thus the dimensions of data sets need to be reduced. Feature selection is the process of removing as much of the redundant and irrelevant features as possible from the original dataset to improve the mining process efficiency. This paper presented a study to evaluate and compare the effect of filter and wrapper methods as feature selection approaches in terms of classification accuracy and time complexity. The Naive Bayes Classifier and three classification datasets from the UCI repository are utilizing in the classification procedure. To investigate the effect of feature selection methods, they are applied to the different characteristics datasets to obtain the selected feature vectors which are then classified according to each dataset category. The datasets used in this paper are the Iris, Ionosphere, and Ovarian Cancer dataset. Experimental results indicate that the filter and wrapper methods provide approximately equal classification accuracy where the average accuracy value of the Ionosphere and Ovarian Cancer dataset is 0.78 and 0.91 for the same selected feature vectors respectively. For Iris dataset, the filter method outperforms the wrapper method by achieving the same accuracy value using only half number of selected features. The results also show that the filter method surpasses when considering the execution time.

The present paper builds a security system to encrypt and hide important text data. The system utilized an AES method to conduct an encryption process, followed by hiding the encrypted data using an improved Pixel Value Difference (PVD) technique. The method works to builds a map to hide data in a non-sequential way by relying on a hyperchaotic system to increase the security level. The system methodology proposed that the data embedding process is in one of the three levels of the colour image (Red, Green, and Blue), where the embedding level will determined based on the coordinates of the PVD pair points that is increase the efficiency of performance. A set of measures was used to measure the quality of steganography where we used MSE, PSNR, SNR, and Corr, and the results are well and satisfactory. The proposed method records the least MSE value with 0.85348784908256, while the Corr values did not decrease about 0.994145776227782. The proposed method also proved successful and effective in retrieving and decoding data, where the BER scale was equal to zero for all retrieved text.

An opportunistic resource utilization network (denoted as Oppnet) is a type of network that enables its node to cooperate in an opportunistic and ad hoc manner. Cooperation in oppnet includes sharing node computational resources, rather than only opportunistic communication in the traditional opportunistic networks. The key idea of oppnet is its ability to grow from seed node (initiator) to expanded oppnet via joining more nodes until getting the desired resources in a timely manner. This expansion raises the security risk of joining malicious nodes and threatens the oppnet including nodes and data. Besides, uncontrolled oppnet expansion might allow joining nodes with low computational capabilities or limited resources that have delayed responses, and hence affect the performance of oppnet. This study aims to mitigate these two problems by proposing a new oppnet paradigm (an enhanced version of original oppnet) called Trust-based Secure Cooperative Oppnet (TSCO) that utilizing a trust as a foundation for security and cooperation. Trust foundation is the major aspect of TSCO, which relies mainly on establishing trust value for each oppnet node and updating these values based on cooperation experience with those nodes. In TSCO, oppnet nodes have classified based on their trust values in which the highest trust value has the priority to join oppnet, if it exists within the specific range. Otherwise, the second-highest trust value takes priority, and so on. To test the feasibility of TSCO in realistic systems, a framework of using TSCO as an oppnet expansion control regarding security and cooperation is simulated. The experimental results show that TSCO has a better performance in terms of secure, success expansion, and cooperation. The success rate of TSCO is higher than the success rate of the original oppnet (our experimental baseline). In addition, regarding the time of satisfying oppnet tasks, TSCO shows less average latency than the baseline.

The general form of the matrix of integration P is established, the dual matrix of integration Q is derived with general formulation, and the general form of the matrix derived from the product of two shifted Pell polynomials has been given. This idea is implemented on shifted Pell basis vector. Using such exact matrices, then the resident function of the equation is reached which can be written as R.P(x), where R is an algebraic equation vector and P(x) is the shifted Pell basis vector. The presented matrices can be utilized to find the approximate solution of differential equations, integral equation and the calculus of variations problems. An investigation for the convergence and error analysis of the proposed shifted Pell expansion is performed. Numerical treatment for problems in physics are included in this work to demonstrate the accuracy, easy to implement as well as accurate and satisfactory results with a small number of shifted Pell basis.

Relying on the order conditions, the primary pair with mathematical order 4 and 3 was called RKTGD4(3), while different has order 5 and 4, and was named RKTGD5(4). The new strategies were determined so that the higher-order techniques were exact and the lower order techniques would bring about the best error estimates. At that point, variables step-size codes were created to support the methods and utilized in solving a lot of third-order problems. Comparisons were made between mathematical results and existing embedded RK pairs within the scientific literature, that require the problems to be reduced into a system of first-order ODEs, and the effectiveness of the new RKTGD pairs have appeared.

A new idea of mixing was introduced in this paper. Mixing parameters; pi where 0 ≤ pi ≤ 1 and $\displaystyle {\sum }_{i=1}^{n}{p}_{i}=1$ are used to find a new distribution from mixing some distributions. Therefore, we can get many mixed distributions with several parameters. Three distributions Weibull, Rayleigh, and Exponential are mixed to get a new distribution which is more flexible than these distributions. The mixed distribution with a new parameter is representing the ratio of contribution of each of these distributions which are mixed. Several values of the mixing parameter were taken, and the properties of the mixed distribution were found. Two methods (MLE and OLS) of estimation are used to estimate the parameters of the new distribution. Simulation studies are used to prove the properties of new distribution and to apply the estimation method to estimate the parameters of new distribution.
