Generally, nanoparticles are prepared using different chemical and physical methods that yield toxic or harmful nano-scaled particles in addition to the high cost and complicated processing steps. The present study successfully biosynthesized manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnO NPs) by reducing Manganese sulfate ( MnSO 4 .H 2 O) using the cell-free supernatant of Bacillus subtilis ATCC6633. The formation of MnO NPs was confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Zeta analysis and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The biosynthesized MnO NPs displayed two absorption peaks at 285 and 353 nm. FT-IR spectrum proved the existence of bacterial proteins during the biosynthesis of MnO NPs that might act as stabilizing agents. MnO NPs have a negative charge of -20.4 mV according to Zeta analysis. TEM micrographs showed the rod-shape of MnO NPs with lengths of 70 to 100 nm and diameters of 10 to 23 nm. MnO NPs had a bactericidal action against Bacillus cereus and Escherichia coli with zones of inhibition of 23 and 25 mm, respectively in addition to minimum inhibitory concentration values of 20 and 15 µg/ml, respectively. The obtained results highlighted the possibility of using MnO NPs as a strong antibacterial agent in different industrial and medical applications.","PeriodicalId":21655,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal for Damietta Faculty of Science","volume":"205 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139010806","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}

To overcome this challenge, masked face recognition has emerged as a vital technology in recent years. By utilizing advanced algorithms and deep learning techniques, masked face recognition enables accurate identification and authentication of individuals even in scenarios where masks are worn. This paper presents a novel method for recognizing faces with masks. The proposed method integrates deep learning-based mask detection, landmark and oval face detection, and robust principal component analysis (RPCA) to accurately identify and authenticate individuals wearing masks. A pretrained ssd-MobileNetV2 model is utilized to detect the presence and location of masks on a face, while landmark and oval face detection are used to identify and extract important facial features. RPCA is applied to separate the occluded and non-occluded components of an image, making the method more reliable in identifying faces with masks. To further optimize the performance of the proposed method, the Gazelle Optimization Algorithm (GOA) is used to optimize both the KNN features and the number of k for KNN. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms existing methods in terms of accuracy and robustness to occlusion, achieving a recognition rate of 97%. This represents a significant improvement over existing methods for masked face recognition. The proposed method has the potential to be applied in a wide range of real-world scenarios, such as security systems, access control, and public health measures. The results of this study demonstrate that the integration of deep learning-based mask detection, landmark and oval face detection, and RPCA can improve the accuracy and reliability of masked face recognition, even in challenging and complex environments. The proposed method can be further improved and extended in future research to address other challenges in this field.","PeriodicalId":21655,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal for Damietta Faculty of Science","volume":"366 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138983179","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 well-logging analysis revealed that the water saturation of the upper-most F3B sandstone is less than 30% reflecting its superior reservoir potentiality. The findings showed that the relative permeability to water as well as the water cut value equal zero while the relative permeability to oil is 100%, which confirm that this interval is at irreducible state. The applied J function technique approved the high-quality reservoir performance of F3B Upper Unit 1 with low computed J values (< 3.48) reflecting the low capillary pressure and the presence of mega-pores.

The current work introduces efficient nanocomposite; catechol polyurethane foam polymer modified with zinc oxide nanoparticles (PCPU/ZnO) and its application for antimicrobial activity. Catechol polyurethane foam/zinc oxide was synthesized by coupling zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) and catechol polyurethane foam polymer (PCPU). The main modifications on the surface of pyrocatechol polyurethane foam/zinc oxide nanocomposite were discussed. The new composite was characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectra (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), pH of zero-point charge (PHZPC) and acidic/basic sites. The antimicrobial activity of PCPU/ZnO was tested against G+ve bacterium (Bacillus cereus), Gram-ve bacterium (Escherichia coli) and fungus; A. niger. In vitro agar well-diffusion method showed good inhibition zones of PCPU/ZnO against Escherichia coli (27 ± 0.11 mm), Bacillus cereus (16 ± 0.08 mm) and Aspergillus niger (23 ± 0.14 mm).

The main objective of this article is to extract the most important petrophysical parameters of sedimentary sequence to evaluate and define the hydrocarbon potentiality in WEEM area using the available well log data suite. The lithology of each reservoir was detected by using a combination of different logs and different cross-plots including \"Neutron-Density Cross-Plot\" and\" M-N Cross plot\" respectively. Four wells were selected for the study (Tawoos-1, RE-4, RE-2 and RE-22) which represent most of the study area. The results of the interpretation indicated that pre-rift reservoirs lithology \"Nubia, Matulla\" are composed of coarse to fine-grained sandstone with fair to poor sorting. Shale inter-beds are common and some wells show a carbonate layer in the upper Nubia-A. The post-rift reservoir lithology \"Nukhul Fm.\" is one of the chief reservoirs in our study area. Its main lithology is sandstone, limestone, dolomite and shale. The majority of points are distributed as carbonate (dolomite and limestone) with some of it back to the effect of clay minerals and calcareous cement. Different Cross Plots indicated the abundance of dolomite and limestone with minor occurrence of sandstone. The presence of high shale content in Rudies fm. shifted the point downward in M-N Cross plot. This reveals that the reservoir encountered is highly calcareous sandstone.

The influence of initial metal concentration, biomass concentration, pH and contact time on their biosorption capacity to Fe, Pb and Cd were investigated in separate and consortium cultures. The increase in biosorption rate occurs with the increase of initial metal ion concentration, as long as binding sites are unsaturated. Sorption isotherms follow the non-linear Langmuir adsorption principle. The maximal uptake of Fe, Pb and Cd (100 ppm) was 50.77±0.78, 45.20±0.50 and 32.69±0.55 mg/g; 63.39±1.74, 57.38±0.40, and 37.03±0.56 mg/g and 70.41±0.43, 61.69±0.46, and 40.13±0.59 mg/g, for M. hiemalis , Tr. viride and their consortium respectively. Maximum efficiency of biosorption occurs at 200 mg. The highest uptake of Fe, Pb and Cd by M. hiemalis appears at pH 4, while for Tr. viride and their consortium the highest uptake occurs at pH 6.
