The current research compares a geothermal-driven combined cooling, heating, and power generation cycle (B–CCHP) and a modified version using turbine bleeding and regeneration process named the TBR-CCHP cycle. These cycles incorporate organic Rankine systems, an ejector cooling system, and a heat pump system. The procedure of this study entails (i) introduction of an innovative CCHP setup, (ii) structural modification of the devised cycle, (iii) evaluation based on thermodynamic laws, (iv) optimization through GA, (v) sensitivity (vi) evaluation of the design parameters, Profitability assessment. The results indicate that the TBR-CCHP system achieves the most significant energy and exergy efficiencies with values of 87.83 % and 70.29 %, respectively. The system demonstrates heating load, cooling load, net electricity production, and total exergy destruction values of 80.38 kW, 24.26 kW, 34.44 kW, and 22.32 kW, respectively. Through optimization using genetic algorithm, improvements in energetic efficiency, exergetic efficiency, and overall energy destruction of 7.93 %, 25.53 %, and 34.83 % are seen in the B–CCHP system, and 7.37 %, 19.87 %, and 33.43 % in the TBR-CCHP system. The study reveals that in the TBR-CCHP system, the compressor is identified as the primary source of irreversibility, with reduced irreversibility during optimization. A comprehensive examination of critical parameters of the cycles indicates the significance of optimizing the generator pressure. Also, the payback period in the modified system is reduced to 6.72 years compared to the base cycle, which has a value of 8.43 years.

The Iraqi economy is rentier and heavily reliant on oil revenues because oil prices are volatile and subject to supply and demand on the global market, causing money supply instability. A prudent monetary policy must be developed in the face of macroeconomic policies, even partial ones, in order to reduce inflationary pressures and achieve both internal and external monetary stability. Iraq also lacks a clear economic strategy and the country's economy is still susceptible to decision-makers’ whims and the demands of international organizations. It is, therefore, essential to discuss monetary policy's fundamental and successful role in managing the sustainability of the economy through its solid and practical tools. Iraq's monetary authorities scrambled to ensure the nation's economic stability through the use of monetary tools as the country's economic system started to shift towards a market economy in 2003, depending on supply and demand forces to manage the economy. The Central Bank uses tools of monetary policy, which are based on keeping an eye on the money supply and pursuing long-term objectives, to achieve the policy objective of economic stability. The goals of economic stability, according to economist Nicolas Kaldor, are to boost economic growth, achieve full employment, establish external balance, and fight inflation. This study examined the hypothesis that, between 1990 and 2020, monetary policy contributed to Iraq's economic stability using co-integration tests, fully-corrected least-squares techniques, and dynamic standard least-squares. The positive effects of monetary policy on economic variables, particularly economic stability, were demonstrated by the influence of foreign currency reserves on an improved current account balance, price stability, and a relative decline in unemployment rates. The GDP and the current account balance positively affected economic stability indicators, while the money supply adversely impacted most of them. To improve the balance of payments and encourage economic growth, investments should be made in the manufacturing and agricultural sectors.

The current study included the synthesis of a series of azo compounds. These compounds were prepared by coupling nitrogen bases with phenyl diazonium salts. While the azo Schiff compounds were prepared by direct condensation of the prepared azoaldehydes with the nitrogen bases (2-amino pyrimidine & guanine ). The Schiff base derivatives were prepared by direct condensation of nitrogen bases (2-amino pyrimidine & adenine) with substituted benzaldehyde and chloral.The structures of the prepared compounds were confirmed by spectral analysis including ultra-violet visible and infra red spectra. Also photo irradiation of these compounds at (=356nm) has been done to study the stability of these compounds. The results revealed complete disappearance of the (OH) and (NH) bands in a number of compounds and partial disappearance in others which reflects the photo-oxidation or hydrogen bonding for the groups of (OH) or (NH).The disappearance of the (NH2) and (C=O) bands conforms the successful of prepared compounds.

The present study was carried out to determine the prevalence of Theileria annulata in large ruminants from two districts, Peshawar and Kohat, in Khyber Pukhtoon Khwa (Pakistan). Blood samples were collected from 95 cattle. Data on the characteristics of animals and herds were collected through questionnaires. No significant risk factors were found associated with the spread of tropical theileriosis in the study area. Two different parasite detection techniques, PCR amplification and screening of Giemsa stained slides, were compared and it was found that PCR amplification is a more sensitive tool (33.7% parasite detection), as compared to smear scanning (5.2% parasite detection) for the detection of Theileria annulata. 32 out of 95 animals, from both districts, produced the 721-bp fragment specific for Theileria annulata.

Bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) nanoparticles are synthesized and evaluated for their function as materials for solar cells. Bi2O3 solution is inexpensively produced from the Nigella sativa seeds using a green synthetic method. The synthesized Bi2O3 solution is deposited by droplet casting method, and the synthesized nanofilm is dried at 80°C. Subsequently, diagnostic tests such as UV–VIS, XRD, and FTIR are performed on the Bi2O3/glass thin films. By means of the SEM, EDS, AFM, and I–V characteristics in dark and under illumination, the optical and structural characteristics of Bi2O3- nanoparticle films are investigated to determine the optical energy gap and crystalline material. X-ray diffraction reveals the presence of a tetragonal crystal system in the phase. The estimated band-gap energy Eg is approximately Eg1 = 3.6 eV, and FTIR analysis shows the degree of infrared absorption as a function of wavelength to demonstrate the presence of functional groups in bismuth-oxide molecules from Bi–O bonds. SEM–EDS morphology studies examine the occurrence of nanocrystals of various shapes and sizes. Finally, as a bulk heterojunction device, the I–V performance of the solar cell (Ag/Bi2O3/PSi/Si/Ag) deserves attention, and a fill factor FF= 48 is found for a solar-cell efficiency of 2.8%, ideality factor β= 1.35, characterization resistance RCH = 175 Ω, and the parallel resistance = 25.14 Ω·s. This cheap nanoparticle material could be an ideal candidate for future energy applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

On May 27, 2022, the Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society and the Heart Rhythm Society convened a meeting of leaders from different professional societies of healthcare providers committed to arrhythmia care from the Asia Pacific region. The overriding goals of the meeting were to discuss clinical and health policy issues that face each country for providing care for patients with electrophysiologic issues, share experiences and best practices, and discuss potential future solutions. Participants were asked to address a series of questions in preparation for the meeting. The format of the meeting was a series of individual country reports presented by the leaders from each of the professional societies followed by open discussion. The recorded presentations from the Asia Summit can be accessed at https://www.heartrhythm365.org/URL/asiasummit‐22. Three major themes arose from the discussion. First, the major clinical problems faced by different countries vary. Although atrial fibrillation is common throughout the region, the most important issues also include more general issues such as hypertension, rheumatic heart disease, tobacco abuse, and management of potentially life‐threatening problems such as sudden cardiac arrest or profound bradycardia. Second, there is significant variability in the access to advanced arrhythmia care throughout the region because of differences in workforce availability, resources, drug availability, and national health policies. Third, collaboration in the area already occurs between individual countries, but no systematic regional method for working together is present. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
