The MCAC was prepared by adsorbent chemical activation method. Afterwards, the MCAC was characterized and utilized as the adsorbent for batch adsorption process. Initial adsorbate concentration, contact time and adsorbent dosage were considered as the independent variables for the adsorption process. The experiments were designed based upon central composite design (CCD) of response surface methodology with the aid of Design Expert. The experimental data were fitted into a model using MATLAB regression analysis, and the developed model was later simulated to obtain the operation parameters that will give the optimum removal efficiency. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that all the considered independent process variables had significant effect on the adsorption process. The simulated response from MATLAB gave 97.113% removal efficiency of nickel (II) on experimental validation at optimum conditions of 9.75 mg/L initial nickel (II) concentration, 120 min contact time and 0.803 g adsorbent dosage. This result correlates with CCD that predicted 97.6154% nickel (II) removal efficiency. The experimental data were observed to be best fitted to pseudo-second-order kinetic model which showed that the process is chemisorption controlled. Hence, it may be concluded from the present data that MCAC is highly effective for the removal of Ni(II) from aqueous solution and the highly generated agricultural waste (Maize cob) can the easily modified as a adsorbent.","PeriodicalId":37239,"journal":{"name":"Arab Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136013262","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}

In response to this critical issue, our paper introduces a groundbreaking approach known as Machine Learning-based Network Intrusion Recovery (MLBNIR) for enhancing intrusion recovery in SDN. We leverage a dedicated SDN dataset to train a flow-based Machine Learning (ML) model, enabling a deeper understanding of traffic dynamics within the SDN framework. Our study, presented in this paper, reveals that the MLBNIR approach significantly reduces intrusion recovery time by up to 90% and concurrently increases network bandwidth consumption by up to 57% when compared to existing methods reviewed in the literature.","PeriodicalId":37239,"journal":{"name":"Arab Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135815004","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 article provides the definition of TLARAST and investigates its fundamental properties, including existence, inverses and related theorems. Furthermore, new results concerning TLARAST for partial derivatives and the theorem of multi-convolution are introduced and discussed. The practicality and efficacy of TLARAST are demonstrated by applying it to solve various types of partial differential equations with significant applications in physics and other scientific fields, such as the heat equation, Laplace equation, Poisson equation and wave equation. The solutions are illustrated through figures created using Mathematica software. Overall, this study underscores the usefulness and efficiency of TLARAST in solving partial differential equations involving multiple variables.","PeriodicalId":37239,"journal":{"name":"Arab Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135690055","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}

Green processing and employing natural derived materials are solutions to this issue. In this work, an electrical double-layer capacitor (EDLC) fabricated from green polymer electrolyte (GPE) sandwiched in between two microbial cellulose-based electrodes is characterized. The eco-friendly electrode films of interconnected cellulose and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) are obtained via harmless, inexpensive, and simple procedure. The GPE consists of methylcellulose-potato starch blend as polymer blend and ammonium iodide (NH4I) is chosen as ion provider. Glycerol serves as plasticization agent for alternative pathways enabling ionic migration. The most optimum GPE possesses good ionic conductivity of ∼ 10−3 S/cm. Ions are the dominant charge carrier in the GPE as ion transference number shown to be close to unity. Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) analysis illustrated that the GPE is electrochemically stable up to 2.4 V. The green EDLC stores energy through non-Faradaic mechanism and the specific capacitance from charge-discharge, Ccd is influenced by the sweep rates. The EDLC can be charged and discharged up to 2 V with a stable 1000 cyclability performance. This work implied the potential of microbial cellulose-based EDLC as ideal green-based energy storage device for low voltage applications such as smart electronic textiles.","PeriodicalId":37239,"journal":{"name":"Arab Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136193072","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}

This algorithm is generally based on the expansion of function method and has the advantage of easy implementation and can provide a reliable solution to any NLPDEs. Employing the algorithm, we have been able to perceive the closed form solitons of the two chosen NLPDEs that physically represent the solitary wave solutions like, singular, singular periodic, bell, and anti-bell-shaped types of solitons. Furthermore, we explore the graphical manifestations of the obtained solutions, which are of the mentioned soliton types. From the findings of our in-depth study, we can state that the acquired solutions for the selected two equations may greatly aid to extracting the associated natural phenomena in mathematical physics such as fluid dynamics and ocean engineering.","PeriodicalId":37239,"journal":{"name":"Arab Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136107288","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}
