The biosynthesis of nanoparticles has been extensively studied due to their numerous applications. Among them, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have gained significant attention for wide range of its applications. To investigate the optical, chemical, structural, and morphological properties, different techniques; UV-VIS spectrophotometer, Fourier Transform Infrared Analysis (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) were used. The results revealed that typical ZnO absorption spectra exhibit a well-defined exciton band at 371.6 nm that is near the bulk exciton absorption of ZnO (373 nm) with an energy band gap of 3.029 eV, confirming the production of ZnO nanoparticles. FTIR study demonstrated the existence of bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, polyphenols, tannins, and saponins that can function as reducing and capping agents of ZnO nanoparticles. FESEM picture revealed that ZnO NPs show spherical morphologies with an average diameter of 71.07 nm.  The antioxidant activities of biosynthetic ZnO NPs were studied using non-enzymatic methods; 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), reducing power assay, and total antioxidant activities. The results showed that the biosynthesized ZnO-NPs nanoparticles had significant antioxidants compared with ascorbic acid as a reference. The obtained results showed that the present method is eco-friendly, less cost-effective, and safe for human health and this method plays a vital role in the industrial and biomedicine fields.","PeriodicalId":21627,"journal":{"name":"Science Journal of University of Zakho","volume":"578 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139160895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous deep-learning models have been utilized for diagnosing coronaviruses from chest computed tomography (CT) images. However, in light of the limited availability of datasets on COVID-19, the pre-trained deep learning networks were used. The main objective of this research is to construct and develop an automated approach for the early detection and diagnosis of COVID-19 in thoracic CT images. This paper proposes the DDTL-COV model, a deep transfer learning model based on DenseNet121, to classify patients on CT scans as either COVID or non-COVID, utilizing weights obtained from the ImageNet dataset. Two datasets were used to train the DDTL-COV model: the SARS-CoV-2 CT-scan dataset and the COVID19-CT dataset. In the SARS-CoV-2 CT dataset, the model achieved a good accuracy of 99.6%. However, on the second dataset (COVID19-CT dataset), its performance shows an accuracy rate of 89%. These results show that the model performed better than alternative methods.","PeriodicalId":21627,"journal":{"name":"Science Journal of University of Zakho","volume":" 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138961562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The plasma potential, frequency, and degree of ionization were evaluated using spectroscopic measurements of the electron temperature and density. The results of the experiment show that the plasma potential decreases as the magnetic field strength increases, while the plasma frequency increases for lower pressure but reaches a constant value for higher pressure due to the increasing number of excitation collisions among the plasma-charged particles. The degree of ionization, determined using the ideal gas law, shows a near-linear relationship with the axial magnetic field at both low and high pressure.","PeriodicalId":21627,"journal":{"name":"Science Journal of University of Zakho","volume":"29 36","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138966071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, it requires treatments before direct release into receiving waters.  This paper presents the results of electrocoagulation (EC) and chemical coagulation (CC) treatment of leachate from the Erbil landfill site. The removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD), phosphate (PO43-), total suspended solids (TSS), total organic compound (TOC), and color of leachate was studied using iron and aluminum electrodes. The removal percentages were also compared to those produced by electrochemically generated Fe2+ and Al3+ dosages. The effect of different pH values on the removal efficiency of these parameters was evaluated at optimal conditions. The removal percentages for chemically added coagulants were lower than those for electrochemically generated Fe2+ and Al3+. In EC, the highest COD removal efficiency of 92% and 87% was achieved at the original concentration (C1) for iron and aluminum electrodes, respectively. The iron and aluminum electrodes also showed a maximum color removal of 90% and 95%, respectively, for the original undiluted leachate solution. Both Fe and Al electrocoagulation methods were not effective in removing TOC from the leachate of municipal solid waste. The highest removal efficiency of 78% was achieved at a 1:4 diluted solution (C2) using the Al-electrocoagulation method. The maximum removal percentage for PO43- was 94% at C1 using the Fe-electrocoagulation system.

The current study was undertaken to examine the impacts of different concentrations of silver nitrate (AgNO3) (0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, and 0.3) on the properties of silver nanoparticles. A range of analytical techniques were utilized to examine the characteristics of the nanoparticles, encompassing energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), UV-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The findings demonstrated and suggested that Lepidium Sativum represents a viable choice for the environmentally friendly production of silver nanoparticles. The UV-Vis spectra of the studied silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) exhibited a significant level of absorption within the wavelength range of 430-460 nm. The most intense absorption peak, observed at 453 nm, was associated with a concentration of 0.25 mol.  The examination of the Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) images has revealed that the concentration of the solution has a substantial impact on the size, morphology, shape, and orientation of the silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). The Ag NPs exhibit a mostly spherical and semi-spherical form, with an average particle size ranging from 65 to 80 nm. Additionally, the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that the silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) synthesized exhibit a high level of purity, consisting solely of silver atoms arranged in a face-centered cubic crystalline lattice structure. The particle size, as determined from the (111) peak, falls within the range of 25.31-67.28 nm. The EDX spectrum analysis indicated that the primary chemical constituent present in the samples was silver (Ag). The silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) produced at different concentrations exhibited a distinct peak in the UV-Vis spectrum, demonstrating significant absorbance above 400 nm in the visible region and minimal absorption in the UV range. The measured energy band gap (Eg) ranged from 2.05 to 2.3 eV. In addition, the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) at different concentrations did not exhibit any discernible peak throughout the monitored range. This observation implies that the silver nanoparticles that were produced using cress plant extract had a high level of purity.","PeriodicalId":21627,"journal":{"name":"Science Journal of University of Zakho","volume":"61 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138982444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The morphology and chemistry of the coatings were analyzed utilizing scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR). The coatings displayed superamphiphobic properties with contact angles (CAs) of 170° for water and over 150° for both glycerol and ethylene glycol. Additionally, a remarkably low water droplet sliding angle (SA) of less than 2° was observed for surfaces coated with silicone rubber (SR)- trifluorotoluene (TFT), whether smooth or roughened. The coatings were tested for mechanical and chemical durability by impinging water droplets and immersing them in an acidic liquid respectively. The results showed that SR-TFT-coated silicone rubber on micro-rough Al substrates maintained its superamphiphobic property and exhibited excellent corrosion resistance compared to hydrophilic Al plates.

Masafik, Melisse, Radisho, Armishte, Diala, Halapja, and Dwarf pomegranate cultured in the Kurdistan region of Iraq from October 2021 to February 2023. Micropropagation technique was applied using eight combinations of plant growth regulators (PGRs) added to two media (MS and WPM). The results indicated that immersing explants in 70% Ethyl alcohol (EtOH) for (2 minutes) followed by immersion in (2.5%) Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) plus 3 drops of tween 20 for 13 mins. was the more suitable combination for explant sterilization. MS and WPM media salts supplemented together with eight combinations of PGRs were carried out to evaluate the more suitable combination for the initiation stage. The obtained data clarified that the ½ strength of the MS medium (1/2 MS) supplemented with 0.5 BAP plus 0.5 mg/l Kinetin increases the pomegranate explant initiation response percentage. WPM basal medium was the preferred media to be used in the multiplication stage. The impact of different levels and protocols of Cytokinins, Auxins, and Gibberellins were investigated by eight protocols including using BAP, GA3, and adenine sulfate. The outcomes indicated that adding both concentrations of BAP (0.5 and 1.0 mg/l) separately supported by GA3 and adenine sulfate in amounts of (0.3 and 30 mg/l) respectively again were the most suitable protocol that affected the multiplication of regenerated shoots when compared to using BAP alone. Valuable results were found in rooting response after 6 weeks by using ½ strength of MS media along with two levels of Auxins (NAA, and IBA). Moreover, the visual observation records that around 85-90% of rooted cultures were successfully acclimatized by transferring the cultures from in vitro to the ex-vitro environment.
