In our work, we have explored the phase space nonlinear coherent-Kerr-cavity nonclassicality and purity loss induced by off-resonant intensity-dependent cavity-qubit interactions under atomic spontaneous-emission dissipation effect. The generation of the cavity purity loss (mixedness) dynamics, by using von Neumann entropy, is linked to the nonclassicality's Wigner distribution dynamics, which is investigated at spastic times chosen based on the von Neumann entropy's cavity dynamics. The temporal evolution of the largest negativity of the Wigner distribution is investigated under the physical system effects of the qubit spontaneous-emission dissipation, the detuning as well as the coherent-Kerr-cavity nonlinearity. The growths and the stability of the purity loss and the Wigner distribution negativity loss have the same behaviors. They depend on the Kerr-like nonlinearity and the dissipation couplings. These losses and their stability can be enhanced by increasing the dissipation coupling. It is found that the nonclassicality's phase space Wigner quasi-probability distribution and the mixedness of the generated coherent-Kerr-cavity states are highly sensitive to the physical system effects.

In this study, we investigate the impact of the XYZ-DM-Heisenberg model on quantum resources, including local quantum Fisher information, concurrence, and Jensen-Shannon coherence, in the presence of intrinsic decoherence. By exploring various spin-exchange interactions, with a focus on the role of the y -DM interaction, we reveal how these interactions affect quantum correlations and coherence dynamics. We find that the system transitions from separability to the generation of quantum properties when spin interactions are introduced. The specific parameter choices significantly influence the dynamic map of quantum functions. Notably, strong y -DM interaction, in combination with equal spin interaction, leads to pronounced fluctuations, while weak DM interaction results in sudden death and rebirth in the x direction. Additionally, ferro- and anti-ferromagnetic regimes impact the quantum functions differently. In the presence of intrinsic decoherence, fluctuations decrease, and coherence remains robust compared to the local quantum Fisher information and entanglement, reducing loss. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Electric cars are becoming more and more popular. In 2019, 2.2 million electric cars were sold around the world, and that number increased in 2021 to 6.6 million. Microgrids prove to be a viable resolution to the challenge of integrating large-scale electric vehicles and renewable energy sources into the electric power system, given the exponential expansion of both industries and the demand for electric vehicles (EVs). Additionally, the principal policy objective of the government is to enhance the accessibility of public recharge stations designed to accommodate EVs. The study applies cutting-edge technologies to the development of fast-charging (FC) stations. Because DC charging offers unlimited power and quick power transfer, vehicle-to-grid technology can be implemented in a microgrid using DC power transmission. However, incorporating EVs into a microgrid system presents some operational difficulties. In this study, these difficulties are related to power quality (PQ) problems like harmonics in power systems, which have an impact on consumers as well as utilities. The efficacy of the control system was assessed through the simulation of design models employing MATLAB-based vector control and constant current-constant voltage (CC-CV) techniques. Through the reduction of the system's total harmonic distortion (THD), both strategies contribute to the enhancement of the PQ and performance of the control system as assessed by these simulations. Based on the findings, the controller demonstrated a decrease in THD and an enhancement in waveform quality, resulting in high accuracy and good performance. The DC-Bus receives power transmission from the AC network that is near the unity power factor (PF) and is distinguished by a sinusoidal current. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
With the confluence of information technology era and the progressively aging society, the internet usage rate by older adults in Malaysia is growing at a substantial rate. Therefore, older adults are becoming an increasingly significant potential target market for electronic commerce. However, previous researchers have focused mainly on the youth market and paid less attention to the online behaviours of older adults. To bridge the gap, the objective of this research is to increase a better understanding of how the factors affecting the perception, acceptance and willingness of older adults in Malaysia towards online shopping. To this end, this study is developed by integrating the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) and innovation resistance theory (IRT). They are applied to an original dataset of 200 responses from respondents that were collected through a survey.

- Abstract
The intricate nature and diverse reservoir composition within the basal Messinian incision pose significant challenges in the Nile Delta basin. These complexities hinder the accurate prediction of connectivity between reservoirs and delineating their boundaries among wells, complicating the construction of a comprehensive geological model for the area. This study addresses these challenges by integrating sedimentological facies analysis with seismic geomorphology of the Qawasim Formation, deposited during the late Messinian period. Utilizing integrated 3D seismic data, core samples, wireline logs, and borehole image logs from five wells in the Balsam field, we identify six lithofacies types within the Qawasim Formation, which are categorized into five facies associations: fluvial channels, tidally influenced fluvial channels, tidal channels, tidal bars, and tidal flats within an estuarine regime. These facies associations form the foundational elements for the depositional model. The model identifies two primary cycles: the bottom cycle, comprising fluvial channels surrounded by overbank muds on a fluvial plain (designated as Qawasim level 1), and the top cycle, encompassing an estuarine system with tidal channels and estuarine tidal bars surrounded by tidal muds (designated as Qawasim level 2). Detailed seismic interpretation has been employed to study the geomorphological features of the Qawasim Formation’s levels. Integrating sedimentological and seismic attributes reveals that the Qawasim Formation in the Balsam field indicates fluvial–tidal deposition within a broader estuarine context. This significant study clarifies the Lower Messinian deposits’ depositional environment and filling architecture. Besides, it is a part of the most crucial period for building the stratigraphic column of the Nile Delta in general and for improving hydrocarbon exploration and production strategies in the surrounding blocks of Balsam field.

Mekky, Abdel-baset H.
- Abstract
The thermodynamics factors of acetaminophen and its metabolites were considered using density functional theory (DFT) at 298.15 K temperature and 1 atm. pressure. The resultant Thermodynamics factors were at that time analyzed and compared to determine the influence of temperature and pressure on the stability of the metabolite and its potential behavior in changed environments. The results display that the internal energy, enthalpy, Gibbs free energy, entropy, heat capacity at constant volume (Cv), and Cp at constant pressure (Cp) all affected by the temperature increases. The internal energy (U) of the most stable molecule increases with the increase in temperature, while the heat capacity (H) decreases with the decrease in pressure. The heat capacity and heat capacity of sulfate (APS) are stable at changed temperatures and pressures. These results will make available valued information on the Thermodynamics behavior of Acetaminophen (AP), Acetaminophen cysteine (APCys), Acetaminophen glucuronide (APGlc), and Acetaminophen sulfate (APS) metabolites which can be used to recognize their behavior in the body and how they are metabolized. Furthermore, the results of this study will be responsible for a better understanding of the thermal stability of these molecules under different conditions and guide the development of new drugs and therapies.

This study explores the dynamics of atomic mixedness and phase space quasi-probability information of one of two moving atoms trapped in a cavity filled by a coherent field. The atom-photon interactions are considered with the resonance case through nonlinear intensity-dependent coupling. We investigate the impacts of the atom-photon and atomic motion couplings on the dynamics of the atomic Wehrl entropy's mixedness and phase space Husimi distribution information. By helping Wehrl entropy's mixedness dynamics, the dynamics of acceleration and enhancement of the generation of the atomic phase space quasi-probability coherence are examined, and the Husimi distributions of the generated atomic states of one of the two moving atoms are explored. The results are shown that the atomic Husimi distribution and Wehrl entropy's mixedness are susceptible to an increase in the atom-photon and the atomic motion couplings. Therefore, the atomic phase space Husimi distribution coherence can be improved by increasing the atomic motion and nonlinear atom-photon couplings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
To evaluate the effectiveness of pain neuroscience education (PNE) and transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation (tVNS) for fibromyalgia (FM) patients, as one of the chronic pain treatment modalities. The study was conducted on 99 patients that were divided into 3 groups (n = 33 each): Patients in group A received 6 sessions of tVNS twice weekly (25 Hz for 30 min), group B received 6 sessions of tVNS twice weekly (25 Hz for 30 min) and 3 sessions of PNE once weekly (for 30 min) and group C received 3 sessions of PNE once weekly (for 30 min). The follow up done immediately after the end of the sessions by Visual Analogue Scale score, Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), Pain catastrophizing scale questionnaire (PCS-Q, Pain DETECT questionnaire (PD-Q) and state trait anxiety inventory (STAI Q) self-reported questionnaire. The mean age of patients was 33.3 ± 8.2 years and they were 86 females and 13 males (F:M 6.6: 1) and the 3 groups were matched for age (p = 0.15) and gender (p = 0.13). During the procedures no side effects were encountered. The 3 groups showed significant improvement of FM symptoms assessed by VAS, FIQ, PCS-Q, PD-Q and STAI-Q (state and trait), but group B showed the best results percentage of improvement (60%, 34.4%, 54.2%, 40%, 51.1% and 52,2% respectively). Combined tVNS and PNE are more effective than PNE alone or VNS alone in management of FM. Further studies with long term follow up to assess the long-term effect of tVNS or PNE.

- Abstract
ABSTRACTIn 2023, the United Nations Committee Economic, Social and Cultural Rights will review Australia's compliance with the International Covenant of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). There have been a number of concerning trends in relation to the realisation of economic, social and cultural rights in Australia since Australia's fifth report to the Committee on 1 February 2016: growing economic inequality exacerbated by a cost-of-living crisis, a lack of meeting Closing the Gap targets for Indigenous Australians, a housing crisis and the Australian government's use of unlawful technology against recipients of social security. Far from meeting its obligations under ICESCR, multiple governments have shown a lack of respect for upholding these rights, leaving Australia without the adequate guarantee of economic, social and cultural rights that should be expected in an industrialised, wealthy economy.

ELECTRIC charge ,ENERGY dissipation ,ELECTRIC vehicles - Abstract
This paper describes a lithium-ion battery (LIB) hybrid equalization (HE) structure. There are two primary strategies for voltage equalization (EQ): passive and active. Active equalization (AE) moves energy between the LIBs, whereas passive equalization (PE) wastes energy. PE strategy has the benefit of being easy to put into action, but at the same time, it requires more time to equalize and results in a loss of energy. Although it is difficult to implement, AE has a shorter EQ time and less energy loss. Combining these two methods simultaneously controls a pack of LIBs and equalizes voltage. This article offers recommendations on a cell level (CL) and between stacks. Some LIBs were outfitted with varying state of charge (SOC) levels to simulate a cell imbalance. Different topologies were tested, including combined AE and PE at the pack level and PE and AE topologies at the CL. Response times and SOC levels are used to compare the results. Compared to strictly AE or PE strategies, the HE showed encouraging results regarding EQ time and autonomy. This combination offers a solution that enables one to achieve minimal HE time while maintaining appropriate SOC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We have explored the non-locality of two qubits interacting time-dependently with a nondegenerate parametric amplifier cavity fields in the presence of the Stark shift interaction term. The time-dependent two-qubit reduced density matrix is calculated numerically when the cavity fields are initially in two entangled coherent states. We investigate the non-locality via local Fisher information and negativity. It is shown that, the generated non-locality depends on the time-dependent two-qubit location, the Stark shift interaction, the difference between the mean photon numbers of the two cavity fields as well as the initial intensity coherent fields. The agreement of the generated correlations presented by the local Fisher information and the negativity depends on the physical parameters. The Stark shift non-linearity and the difference between the mean photon numbers leads to reducing the generated correlations. The local Fisher information is more robust against the Stark shift interaction than the negativity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

All over the world, photovoltaic (PV) systems have now become a hopeful way to obtain transition to sustainable energy. Under different operating conditions, the voltage and maximum power generated by PV arrays can differ. The present study aims to employ a PV experimental model to propose a technique for tracking the maximum power point using a new control method for DC-DC converters. The Perturb and Observe (P&O) and Incremental Conductance Method (ICM) were combined to obtain a new combination method. The test system comprises a PV model, a DC-DC converter, a battery, an inverter, and a load. Simulation and experimental results that are totally compatible with each other demonstrate that the devised method can be used as a platform for the PV maximum power point tracking (MPPT) systems.

- Abstract
Possible squeezed states generated in a three-waveguide nonlinear coupler operating with second harmonic generation is discussed. This study is carried out using two well-known techniques; the phase space method (based on positive-P representation) and the Heisenberg-based analytical perturbative (AP) method. The effects of key design parameters were investigated under various conditions, including full frequency matching, symmetrical and asymmetrical waveguide initialization, and both codirectional and contr-adirectional propagation. The system consistently produced long-lasting oscillatory squeezed states across all three waveguides, even when only one waveguide was pumped with coherent light while the others were in a vacuum state. Also, the performance and capacities of both methods are critically evaluated. For low levels of key design parameters and in the early stages of evolution, a high level of agreement between the two methods is noticed. In the new era of quantum-based technology, the proposed system opens a new avenue for utilising nonlinear couplers in nonclassical light generation.

- Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are commonly used in optoelectronic device, pharmaceuticals, food, textile, energy, rubber, electrical engineering, and agriculture applications. This study aimed to study the effect of Mn doping on the physical traits and the antimicrobial activity of ZnO NPs. Five Mn-doped ZnO NPs samples were prepared and characterized with a varied Mn content ranging from 0.01 to 0.09. A low-cost and suitable method for synthesizing Mn-doped ZnO NPs with a semispherical shape is presented without using a surfactant. The antimicrobial activity of the given NPs was determined against pathogenic microorganisms, including Gram-positive bacteria (i.e., Staphylococcus aureusand Bacillus subtilis), Gram-negative bacteria (i.e., Escherichia coli), and fungi (i.e., Candida albicans). The antimicrobial activity was evaluated using the well diffusion method, minimum lethal concentrations (MLC) determination, and microbial cell viability assay. X-ray diffraction results confirm that the samples have a single-phase wurtzite structure, where the crystal size decreases with an increasing dopant concentration. This decrease occurs due to the small ionic radius of Mn ions compared to Zn ions. The morphology on the surface shows further that the samples had a spherical shape with an average particle size of 40 nm. The optical bandgap of ZnO NPs decreases with Mn doping, which is attributed to the s–dand pinteraction. All tested NPs displayed a higher antimicrobial activity with better efficiency in the case of Mn-doped ZnO NPs compared to standard antibiotics (i.e., cytisoside, fluconazole, and ampicillin). The MLC of ZnO NPs was 160 μg/mL for all tested microorganisms. The best MLC was 40 μg/mL of Zn0.93Mn0.07O, Zn0.95Mn0.05O, and Zn0.91Mn0.09O for E. coli, B. subtilis, and C. albicans, respectively. Compared to ZnO NPs, no better effect on MLC was found against Staphylococcus aureus. It is concluded that Mn doping enhanced the antimicrobial activity of Zn1−xMnxO NPs, which could be used as a more efficient antibacterial and antifungal agent compared to pure ZnO NPs.

- Abstract
We have studied the dielectric properties and electrical conductivity for pure bentonite (Ben) and Ben loaded with 1.0%, 3.0% and 10.0% Ni composition within the temperature range 25°C–110°C and over the frequency range (100 Hz–0.3 MHz). The dielectric permittivity of pure Ben and Ni/Ben composite decreased with increasing frequency and temperature. We observed two relaxation processes in the characteristics of the electric modulus as a function of frequency and temperature. For both pure Ben and Ni/Ben, the activation energy decreased with increasing frequency and further decreased by adding 1.0, 3.0 and 10.0 wt.% Ni. Thus, the conduction mechanism in Ni/Ben has been associated with small polaron tunnelling. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Cholecystokinin (CCK) is the most abundant neuropeptide that broadly regulates the physiological status of animals. Here, we present a two-color laser theta burst stimulation (L-TBS) protocol for simultaneous activation of Schaffer collateral and perforant pathway in the hippocampus of CCK Cre mice. We describe steps for heterosynaptic long-term potentiation induction by L-TBS. This technique allows for the examination of the neurotransmitter roles in synaptic modulation and facilitates the exploration of pathological mechanisms in genetic models of brain disorders in mice.

- Abstract
Based on commercial bentonite (bento) and two metal precursors, including NiCl
2 and CoCl2 , diverse series of composites were prepared by incipient wet impregnation. The prepared composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction studies show that the crystallite size decreased as increasing the wt. % of cobalt. Moreover, the presence of Co in the EDX spectra for all bento concentrations, suggests its successful incorporation and probably the formation of Ni–Co oxide. The dielectric constant ε′, the dielectric modulus (M′, M′′) and the ac conductivity (σac ) were also studied. It was found that ε′ decreases with frequency in all samples, a clear dielectric α relaxation observed from dielectric loss M′′. σac decreases by increasing Co content and the conduction mechanism is correlated barrier hopping (CBH). σac (T) is thermally activated and the activation energy Ea decreased with increasing Co content.

- Abstract
In this paper, we consider a class of doubly truncated distributions. Based on this class, recurrence relation for moment generating functions of record values is derived. Recurrence relations for single and product moments of record values are deduced from the main results. Several of the known distributions can be seen as special cases of the used class, which includes the left, right and non-truncated distributions. So, we discuss in detail some examples of these distributions based on the main results. In general, for any distribution in the considered class, we reach to a general form to find recurrence relations of moment generating function and moments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Simultaneously identify superior performing in terms of seed yield and seed oil content and broad adaptation across a wide range of different environments is an important target for sunflower breeder. So, 10 sunflower genotypes were evaluated across the eight various environments created by sowing at four locations i. e. Kafr El Hamam/ Sharkia, Shandaweel /Sohag, Tag El Ezz/ Dakahlia and Al Arish/ North Sinai Agricultural Research Stations, Agricultural Research Center (ARC), Egypt during the two successive summer seasons 2018 and 2019 using randomized complete block designs with four replications in each environment. Results showed that mean squares due to environments, genotypes and their interaction were highly significant for seed yield and seed oil content. Most stability approaches revealed that high performing stable genotypes were L240 for seed yield and Sakha 53, L110 and L235 for seed oil content under divergent environments. Hence, these four stable sunflower genotypes could be behaved as good breeding materials stock for sunflower improvement.

Halim, Abdel-Baset
- Abstract
Cell-based assays are an important part of the drug discovery process and clinical research. One of the main hurdles is to design sufficiently robust assays with adequate signal to noise parameters while maintaining the inherent physiology of the cells and not interfering with the pharmacology of target being investigated. A plethora of assays that assess cell viability (or cell heath in general) are commercially available and can be classified under different categories according to their concepts and principle of reactions. The assays are valuable tools, however, suffer from a large number of limitations. Some of these limitations can be procedural or operational, but others can be critical as those related to a poor concept or the lack of proof of concept of an assay, e.g. those relying on differential permeability of dyes in-and-out of viable versus compromised cell membranes. While the assays can differentiate between dead and live cells, most, if not all, of them can just assess the relative performance of cells rather than providing a clear distinction between healthy and dying cells. The possible impact of relatively high molecular weight dyes, used in most of the assay, on cell viability has not been addressed. More innovative assays are needed, and until better alternatives are developed, setup of current cell-based studies and data interpretation should be made with the limitations in mind. Negative and positive control should be considered whenever feasible. Also, researchers should use more than one orthogonal method for better assessment of cell health.

- Abstract
The present investigation aimed to examine the impact of different dietary organic zinc nanoparticle (ZnNP) levels on gut bacteria, meat quality, growth performance, carcass traits, and blood indicators of broilers. A total of 180 unsexed one-wk broiler chicks (Cobb) were allotted to 3 experimental groups and received a basal diet supplemented with 0, 0.2, and 0.4 mg ZnNPs/Kg diet, respectively. The results showed that, after 38 d of age, the supplementary ZnNPs at a level of 0.4 mg/kg raised body weight and weight gain compared to the control and 0.2 mg ZnNPs/kg diet. The addition of ZnNPs improved the daily feed intake. Some of the carcass characteristics in ZnNPs groups excelled that of the control. ZnNPs treatments gave higher dressing % and decreased (P< 0.05) the cholesterol rates, LDL, and uric acid in the blood. In addition, it gave the best concentrations of ALT and AST. The ZnNPs groups exhibited substantially (P< 0.05) improved moisture and fat values in meat samples. The group given ZnNPs at a concentration of 0.4 mg/kg had a substantially (P< 0.05) lower count of TYMC and E. coli. In conclusion, the high level of ZnNPs (0.4 mg/kg) improved the broilers' performance and some of their carcass traits, enhancing their health and meat quality.

- Abstract
• We have demonstrated experimentally an observation of the pairing symmetry crossover in iron pnictide. • This reveal an unexpected connection between the disorder of cuprate‐ and iron‐based superconductors suggesting that the superconducting gap structure of iron-based superconductors is not universal. • It is quite different from that of cuprates in which almost all have a nodal pairing state. • This also provides insight on the origin of the high superconductivity of Fe-based superconductors by resolving the pure role of carrier doping. • We have discovered a comprehensive and exotic phase diagram of BaFe2-xNixAs2. • The phase diagram is the first comprehensive and clean carrier-dependent phase diagram for an electron doped iron pmictide through studying the 13 doping levels. • Its establishment is an important step in our understanding to various Fe-based superconductors. • Our findings tackle an answer of a longstanding questions concerning the pairing symmetry in Fe-based superconductors. • Moreover, our results will trigger an immediate theoretical interest on understanding the role of introducing disorder in iron‐based superconductivity. In the phase diagram of iron pnictides, superconductivity arises at the border of antiferromagnetism, which raises the question of the role of symmetry of the gap and quantum criticality. Although more than 15-years of extensive research, the microscopic origin of the pairing symmetry inside the superconducting (SC) dome and its link to quantum criticality still remains elusive. Here, we report two new findings on BaFe 2− x Ni x As 2 : (1) A sharp peak in the x -dependence of the lower and upper critical fields, the SC critical current density J c , the size of the jump in the specific heat ΔC el / T and the Sommerfeld coefficient (γ) at the optimum composition x = 0.10, where the SC transition temperature T c reaches a maximum. Our obtained reliable values as a function of doping of the normal-state Sommerfeld coefficient increase with doping, illustrating the strong competition between magnetism and superconductivity and attributed to closing of spin density wave gap with Ni doping. (2) We show that doping induced a sudden change of the gap structure from nodeless to nodal. Our results imply that the superconductivity in BaFe 2− x Ni x As 2 is closely linked to the quantum criticality and is characterized by a complex order parameter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Highlights • Cyclophosphamide is used for treatment of various tumors and severe manifestations of systemic autoimmune diseases. • It has deleterious effect on testis histological structure and decrease in c-kit protein expression. • Cyclophosphamide caused decrease in serum testosterone level, abnormality in sperm morphology and structural chromosomal aberration. • Changes occurred with cyclophosphamide treatment can be attributed to oxidative stress as well as DNA damaging effect. • ZnO NPs effectively ameliorated cyclophosphamide induced testicular changes at the histopathological, biochemical and cytogenetic level. Abstract Despite its wide range of application, cyclophosphamide (CP) exhibits a wide range of adverse effects including reproductive toxicity. The emerging field of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) therapy may provide a new hope for prevention of CP induced gonadal toxicity. Herein, we aim to investigate the possible role of ZnO NPs as a new strategy to protect against CP induced testicular injury. Sixty adult male albino rats were divided into 3 groups; control, CP treated and CP + ZnO NPs treated groups. CP group was injected with CP (5 mg/kg/day), whereas CP + ZnO NPs group was concomitantly injected with CP and ZnO NPs (5 mg/kg/day). Testicular specimens were processed for histological, ultrastructural and c-kit immunohistochemical study. Biochemical analysis for tissue malondialdehyde and serum testosterone was done in addition to sperm morphology assay and cytogenetic study. Our results revealed that CP induced deleterious testicular histopathological, biochemical and genetic alterations that were effectively prevented by ZnO NPs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) from the family of Pedaliaceae is one of the most ancient crops and oilseeds. It was a major oilseed crop in the ancient world due to its easiness of extraction, great stability, and resistance to drought. One of the most dangerous pathogens that affect sesame and other plants worldwide is phytoplasma. Phytoplasma can cause different character of symptoms such as: phyllody, the common symptom caused by phytoplasma infection, stunting, changing the color of leaves from green to yellow and alteration of the floral parts into leafy structures bearing no capsule and seeds, which consider a serious threat for the production of sesame in many countries. On the other hand, effect of the phytoplasma infection on plant enzymes such as Peroxidase and Polyphenol oxidase and hormones like Auxins, Cytokinin, Gibberellins and Abscisic acid were studied. Electron microscopy assay was used to verify the cellular changes which conducted as a result of phytoplasma infection. Infected sesame samples which examined by PCR were used as an exporter of phytoplasma and directly applied for electron microscopy test and the analysis of enzymes and hormones. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to detect ultra-structural changes in infected sesame plants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The sine cosine algorithm (SCA) is one of the most recent nature-inspired meta-heuristic optimisation algorithm, which the mathematical model based on sine and cosine functions. SCA has validated excellent performance in solving continuous problems and engineering optimisation problems. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm that encompasses the features of sine cosine algorithm and Simpson method (SCA-SM). The proposed procedure consists of two phases: in the first phase, the of sine cosine algorithm are used to find the optimal segmentation points on the integral interval of an integrand. In the second phase, the approximate integral value of the integrand is then calculated by a Simpson method. Numerical simulation results show that the algorithm offers an effective way to calculate numerical value of definite integrals, and it has a high convergence rate, high accuracy and robustness.

Objective: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of combined use of conventional grayscale US and sono-elastography in differentiating benign and malignant solitary thyroid nodules. Materials and methods: This prospective study included 50 patients with solitary thyroid nodules being evaluated using grayscale US followed with sono-elastography (USE). Suspicious conventional sonographic data for malignancy then evaluated using USE were classified according to Rago criteria with calculation of strain ratio. The diagnostic performances of grayscale US, elastography with Rago criteria, for predicting thyroid malignancy were compared and cutoff value for strain ration was statistically analyzed. Finally all patients with solitary nodule were subjected to US-guided FNAC and 35 patients recommended for surgery in the form of 12 patients underwent total thyroidectomy and 23 patients underwent thyroidectomy with neck dissection. Results: 30 females (60%), and 20 males (40%) were included (Mean age 38) with final diagnosis comprised 29 (58%) pathologically proved benign thyroid nodules and 21 (42%) pathologically proved malignant nodules. US showed significant relation between markedly hypo-echogenicity, oval than tall, margin irregularity, presence of micro-calcification with diagnosis of thyroid malignancies with p value <0.001. Regarding sonoelastography, there was significant relation between elastography scores 4 and 5 and thyroid malignancies showing sensitivity of 80%, a specificity of 100%, and p value <0.001. The most accurate strain ratio cutoff value among studied cases was 2.52. Combination of grayscale US and sono-elastography yielded better results with sensitivity of 92%, specificity of 95%, PPV of 89%, NPV of 92% and diagnostic accuracy or efficacy of 96%. Conclusion: Combined use of USE and grayscale US, showed superior performance in the differentiation of malignant and benign thyroid nodules compared with each technique alone. Suspicious US criteria with elasticity Rago scores 4 and 5 and strain ratio more than 2.52 are the most predictive signs of malignancy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Pseudomyxoma pleurii is a rare disease that is defined by the pleural extension of pseudomyxoma peritonei, usually secondary to a mucinous neoplasm of the appendix or ovary. It is characterized by diffuse mucinous deposits on the pleural surface. A 31-year-old woman presented to the hospital with dyspnea, an increased respiratory rate, and decreased oxygen saturation. Following an appendectomy for a perforated mucinous appendiceal tumor eight years ago, the patient underwent multiple surgeries for the resection of mass deposits in the peritoneal cavity. At presentation, her chest computed tomography with contrast revealed cystic mass deposits on the right-side pleura with a massive multi-locular pleural effusion mimicking hydatid cyst. Upon histopathologic examination, multiple small cystic structures lined by tall columnar epithelium with basally placed bland nuclei floating in the mucin pools were noted. Pseudomyxoma peritonei often leads to abdominal distention, intestinal blockage, anorexia, cachexia, and eventually death. It rarely spreads outside the abdomen, and its extension to the pleura is extremely unusual, with only a small number of cases documented in the literature to date. Radiologically, pseudomyxoma pleurii may resemble hydatid cyst of the lung and pleura. Pseudomyxoma pleurii is a rare entity with a poor prognosis that usually arises secondary to Pseudomyxoma peritonei. The risk of morbidity and mortality is reduced by early diagnosis and treatment. The present case places emphasis on the inclusion of pseudomyxoma pleurii in the differential diagnosis of pleural lesions in patients with the history of appendiceal or ovarian mucinous tumors. • Pseudomyxoma pleurii (PMXP) is a rare entity that may mimic hydatid cyst disease radiologically. • Although PMXP has a poor prognosis, the risk of morbidity and mortality can be reduced by early diagnosis and treatment. • PMXP should be included in the differential diagnosis of pleural lesions in patients with the history of mucinous tumors.

- Abstract
Teratoma is a germ cell tumor originating from pluripotent germ cells and embryonal cells that commonly occurs in the gonads with only 15 % of it arising in extragonadal sites. In infants and children, teratomas of the head and neck are uncommon that comprise 0.47 %–6 % of all teratomas, and their occurrence in parotid gland is extremely rare. It is considered a diagnostic pitfall preoperatively, and their definite diagnosis can only be made upon surgery followed by histopathological examination. We present a unique case of parotid gland teratoma in a 9-month-old girl who was brought to the hospital by her parents with right side parotid region swelling since birth. The ultrasonographic findings were suggestive of cystic hygroma. Upon surgery, the mass was completely excised with a part of parotid gland. The diagnosis of mature teratoma was made based on the histopathologic examination. No tumor recurrence was noted during the 4-month postoperative follow-up. Teratoma of the parotid gland is an extremely rare entity that may mimic diverse benign and malignant tumors of the salivary gland. Patients often present to the health care facility with a parotid gland swelling leading to defacement. Complete surgical resection of the tumor is considered the best treatment approach with careful preservation of facial nerve. Due to the scarcity of information available regarding the behavior and clinical management of parotid gland teratoma in the literature, a good follow-up of patient is required to exclude potential recurrency and neurological deficit. • Craniocervical teratoma in children and infants is an extremely rare entity that comprise 0.47 % - 6 % of all teratomas. • Teratoma of the parotid gland requires a good follow-up of patient to exclude the possible recurrence and neurological deficit. • Here we present the first case of a congenital mature cystic teratoma arising in parotid gland in an infant.

- Abstract
Soil texture is an independent and innate soil property and other dynamic soil properties such as electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon (OC) content and cation exchange capacity (CEC) are mostly dependent on it. An attempt was made to develop a model for numerically simulating soil texture and also to construct relationships of the developed model with other soil properties. Hypothetical data of particle size distribution and our data were used to justify and validate the newly defined indices. Scatter diagrams showed good association between the indices and hypothetical data of soil separates. Moreover, similar trends were observed between the line charts of USDA soil textural class codes and the indices. Strong correlations (r=0.78–0.96) were found between the indices and soil separates (sand, silt and clay) for our data. However, the indices demonstrated moderate correlations (r=–0.34 to –0.55) with EC and OC of the soils. Strong nonlinear relationships were found between CEC and the three indices (R2=0.699, R2=0.732 and R2=0.672 (all P<0.001). Furthermore, the variability of EC, OC and CEC within a single USDA textural class and customised textural index groups were described using the developed model. The developed indices showed excellent fitness for simulation of soil texture and demonstrated an extended applicability in terms of their relationships with soil properties related to soil texture, which will help in constructing digital soil maps.

- Abstract
When numerical simulations are used for determining the age and contribution of different stellar populations in the integrated colour of a galaxy some problems were encountered. In this paper, a modified flower pollination algorithm (MFPA) is proposed for determining the age and relative contribution of different stellar populations of galaxies. The results show that the proposed algorithm can search efficiently through the very large space of the possible ages for the different integrated colour of galaxies. The proposed algorithm will be applied to an integrated colour of galaxy NGC 3384. The numerical results and statistical analysis show that the proposed algorithm performs significantly better than a previously used genetic algorithm (Attia et al., 2005) and cuckoo search (Abdel-Baset et al., 2015). The study revealed that the proposed algorithm can successfully be applied to a wide range of stellar population and space optimisation problems.

- Abstract
The aim is to determine the impact of combined use of health-improving fitness methods of Pilates and Bodyflex on the level of students' psychophysiological and functional capabilities. Materials: 46 high school students took part in the study. Methods of the research are psychophysiological (speed detection of simple and complex reaction in different test modes, level of functional mobility and strength of the nervous system). We measured the indicators: blood pressure, stroke volume of blood, heart rate during rest and exercising. There was determined the indices of submaximal workability and autonomic balance. We used also the methods of pedagogical experiment and mathematical statistics. Results: We observed positive effect of the developed methods to the level of students' psychophysiological and functional capabilities. As a result of their application we saw significant decrease in the latent time of simple visual and motor reaction, complex visual and motor reaction, time duration of the test "level of functional mobility of nervous processes" in the feedback mode in the experimental group. The boys showed significant increase in stroke volume (from 58 ml to 62.1 ml, the threshold of anaerobic metabolism from 123.4 beats per min-1 to 141.4 beats per min-1. The girls also showed significant increase in stroke volume (from 58.3 ml to 62.5 ml, the threshold of anaerobic metabolism from 123.7 beats per min-1 to 143.3 beats per min-1. The indicators of energy-supply systems increased (S.A. Dushanin's technique). We marked the improvement in efficiency of the cardiovascular system (increased heart rate variability from 322.12 ms to 354.43 ms, reduction of mode amplitude of RR-intervals from 34.09% to 21.54%). Conclusions: It is recommended to use complex "Pilates" and "Bodyflex" systems in learning process. It contributes to the functional and psychophysiological capabilities of students. The use of Bodyflex and Pilates improves strength of nervous processes and students' submaximal workability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the incorporation of Al
2 O3 in SiO2 glass with emphasis on reducing the phonon energy in the SiO2 matrix. Pure SiO2 glass has very high phonon energy of about 1100 cm-1 , while Al2 O3 has 780 cm-1 . By incorporating Al2 O3 into SiO2 glass structure, the relative phonon energy of the SiO2 matrix is expected to reduce. However, the composition of Al2 O3 has been limited to a desired amount so as not to perturb other properties of SiO2 , such as optical absorption. The Infrared (IR) spectra for a portion of SiO2 glass with the Al dopants were simulated at different molar ratio of the composition using Molecular Mechanic and Density Functional Theory (DFT). The Al2 O3 -SiO2 structures show a significant change in the simulated IR spectra compared to pure SiO2 glass. The Al2 O3 -SiO2 structures in the present work were constructed by replacing some Si atoms with Al atoms in the host lattice of SiO2 glass. In addition, some O atoms were removed from SiO2 host lattice to get the correct chemical balance. With increasing of Al2 O3 content, the relative intensity of ~1100 cm-1 band associated with the asymmetrical O-Si-O/Si-O stretching vibrations is decreased. The decreasing in relative intensity of the IR spectra demonstrates that Al dopants are forming – [Al-O-Si] – linkages in the structure.- Published

- Abstract
Nonclassical correlations dynamics of local quantum Fisher information, trace-norm measurement-induced nonlocality, and log-negativity are investigated in a symmetric spin–orbit model. This model is described by a Heisenberg XYZ two-spin system exposed to the magnetic field and Kaplan–Shekhtman–Entin-Wohlman–Aharony (KSEA) interaction under the intrinsic decoherence effects. To evaluate the resourcefulness of this model for the generation and preservation of quantum correlations, we consider two qubits that are initially prepared in two different states, namely uncorrelated and maximally correlated states. The magnetic field is discovered to be effective at generating and preserving nonclassical correlations. Besides, we find that the KSEA interaction can alter the generation, preservation, and revival features of nonclassical correlations in the two-qubit system. However, the bipartite nonclassical correlations become extremely fragile when intrinsic decoherence effects appear. • Intrinsic decoherence effects on dynamics of nonclassical correlations. • Heisenberg XYZ two-spin system exposed to magnetic field and KSEA interaction. • Long-time protection of quantum correlations under intrinsic decoherence effects.

In this paper, maximum likelihood and Bayes estimates of the parameters for Burr type χ distribution based on doubly type II censored sample of dual generalized order statistics are obtained. Two different cases are considered. In the first case, the shape parameter is estimated when the scale parameter is known while in the second case the estimators for scale and shape parameters are obtained when both parameters are assumed to be unknown. For Bayesian estimation, Monte Carlo Integration is used to improve the approximation of resulting integrals. Simulation studies are conducted to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed methods through two special cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
ABSTRACTDiabetic nephropathy (DN) is the most frequent cause of end-stage renal failure. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) are promising antidiabetic agents. Our aim was to evaluate the prospective efficacy of ZnO-NPs in treating DN in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Rats were randomly dispersed into three sets: control group, DN group and DN + ZnO-NPs group. ZnO-NPs were given at a dose of 10 mg/kg/day by oral gavage for 4 weeks. Urine and blood samples were processed for biochemical analyses. Kidney samples were managed for light and electron microscopy studies. Immune histochemical staining of P53, aquaporin11 (AQP11) and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) were performed. Gene analyses of nephrin, podocin, beclin-1, LC3 and p62 were done. Administration of ZnO-NPs ameliorated the functional and histopathological alterations of the kidney in a rat model of diabetic nephropathy. ZnO-NPs retained the constancy of the glomerular filtration barrier and restored almost normal renal structure. This was confirmed by upregulation of mRNA expression of podocyte markers (nephrin and podocin) and AQP11 immune histochemical expression in the renal tubules. The beneficial outcomes of ZnO-NPs might be attributed to activation of autophagy through inhibiting mTOR signaling pathway. ZnO-NPs enhanced beclin-1 and LC3 mRNA expressions and reduced p62 mRNA expression. ZnO-NPs also exerted anti-apoptotic potential (evidenced by the decrease in p53 immune expression), anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effect [endorsed by suppression of serum cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme activity, tissue nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-κB) level and blood hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF-1α) level]. These results may point the way to an effective therapy of DN.Abbreviations: AQP11 Aquaporin11; BUN: Blood urea nitrogen; COX-2: Cyclooxygenase-2; DAB: 3, 3’-diaminobenzidine; DM: Diabetes mellitus; DN: Diabetic nephropathy; ELISA: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; H&E: Hematoxylin & eosin; HIF-1α: Hypoxia-inducible factors; iNOS: inducible nitric oxide synthase; LC3: Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3; mTOR: Mechanistic target of rapamycin; NF-κB: Nuclear factor kappa beta; NPs: Nanoparticles; PAS: Periodic acid Schiff; PCR: Polymerase chain reaction; PGE2: Prostaglandin E2; ROS: Reactive oxygen species; STZ: Streptozotocin; X ± SEM: Mean ± standard error of means; Zn: Zinc; ZnO-NPs: Zinc oxide nanoparticles.

- Abstract
This paper describes the synthesis and characteriszation of pure bentonite as well as nanocomposites with varying ratios of nickel (Ni) and metallic copper (Cu) based on the wet impregnation method. Both XRD (X-ray diffraction) and SEM-EDX (scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy) analyses confirm the structural characteristics of the composites. The emergence of a Ni peak in the Cu/bentonite EDX spectra indicates that it is in the proper spot and is most likely the creation of Ni–Cu oxides. Furthermore, the dielectric characteristics and electrical conductivity of Ni-loaded Cu/bentonite composites were also measured at temperatures ranging from 25 °C to 120 °C and at a frequency range of 100 Hz–0.3 MHz to investigate the impact of varying Ni ratios. For all nanocomposite samples, the dielectric constant (ε ′) was shown to decrease with increasing frequency and rise with increasing Ni content. The dielectric modulus M ″ resulted in a significant decrease in relaxation time. The associated barrier hopping conduction process was discovered to boost electric conductivity σ ac at higher frequencies (CBH). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
In this work, we demonstrate that the thermal nonclassical correlations can enhance and become more stable under the magnetic field and second-order spin–orbit interaction effect. Also, we show that the local quantum uncertainty measure can reveal purely quantum correlations beyond other quantifiers of correlations. Our analytical model describes a Heisenberg XYZ two-spin system with an inhomogeneous magnetic field and spin–orbit interaction. A special emphasis is devoted to local quantum uncertainty, concurrence, and Bell-nonlocality measures to investigate the correlations of the bipartite-system at the equilibrium temperature. Our results indicate that temperature, magnetic field, and magnetic field inhomogeneity with DMI and Kaplan–Shekhtman–Entin-Wohlman–Aharony (KSEA) exchanges all play a role in determining the degree of correlation between the quantum spins to some extent. The KSEA interaction greatly enhances the quantum correlation in the system whereas quantum quantifiers are more stable under the influence of the external magnetic field, especially when inhomogeneous and homogeneous magnetic field are near to zero. Furthermore, these findings suggest that the thermal LQU captures a stronger quantum correlation than the Bell-nonlocality and entanglement measures. • New approaches to new solutions of spin–orbit system. • Non-local the correlations of the bipartite system. • Heisenberg XYZ two-spin system. • Effect of inhomogeneous magnetic field and spin–orbit interaction.

- Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel technique to solve the ill-conditioned system of linear and nonlinear equations. The aim of hybridisation is to combine the feature of flower pollination algorithm (FPA) and conjugate direction (CD) method. Flower pollination algorithm is employed for fast convergence and finds more than one root as well as CD method is used to increase the accuracy of the final results and avoids falling into local minima. Conjugate direction flower pollination algorithm (CDFPA) will be used to solve system of linear equations. The proposed algorithm retained the global search capability with more accurate and faster convergence. Numerical simulation results of all tested problems show that the proposed algorithm proved to be superior in convergence efficiency, and computational accuracy.
