This paper studies the performance of the different Nano-scale technologies in electronic elements fabrication using the different Full Adder (FA) circuits with respect to different realizing methods. Four main parameters; delay time, consumed power, simplicity of hardware (number of transistors),and Power Delay Product (PDP) have been used for evaluating the different FA circuits efficiency in 45nm and 65 nm Nano-technologies and utilizing the Complementary Pass-Transistor Logic (CPL), Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (C-MOS), Full-Swing Gate Diffusion Input (FS-GDI) hybrid approaches. The experiments are carried out using a simulator package (Cadence Virtuoso) for 65nm nanotechnology. The results revealed the performance of the FA circuits at the lower Nano-scale performed better than the higher nanoscale. C-MOS approaches provide better improvement in the 45 nm technology compared to the 65 nm technology and the other realizing approaches.","PeriodicalId":8110,"journal":{"name":"Arab Journal of Nuclear Sciences and Applications","volume":"314 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140781206","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 this research, the latest ENDF/B-VIII.0 and JEFF3.3 data libraries that were released in 2018 and 2017, respectively, as well as the ENDF/B-VII.1 data library, were tested on the ETRR-2 using WIMS-5B/CITVAP computational codes. Since the reactor criticality calculations are very sensitive to the accuracy of the data libraries, criticality benchmarks were selected in the work for the evaluation of these libraries. The results showed that the JEFF3.3 library has better agreement with the measurements than the ENDF/B-VIII.0 library.

The radioisotope of 125 I was used in radiolabeling as Na 125 I in liquid phase. All tracers were purified using PD-10 column and the radiochemical purity was evaluated using paper chromatography electrophoreses charts. Specific activities of tracers were calculated in µCi/µg. The shelf life of tracers in days were determined whereas the validity of radioimmunoassay (RIA) kit will required this factor. Immunoreactivity was examined using polyclonal antibody through RIA liquid phase technique. Maximum binding specific percent and binding nonspecific percent were evaluated. Displacement percent was calculated using minimum and maximum binding values. All the results obtained were used in comparative study included all types of tracers. The results show iodogen was preferred as oxidizing agent than chloramine-T and N-bromosuccinimide. On the other hand enzyme lactoperoxidase was filled completely as oxidizing agent. Because the iodogen is insoluble in water , it can be easily remove from the reaction mixture at the end of reaction without using reducing agent.","PeriodicalId":8110,"journal":{"name":"Arab Journal of Nuclear Sciences and Applications","volume":"115 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140783142","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 sorption data was fitted to the Freundlich, Langmuir, and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) sorption isotherms, and the mean sorption energy was found to be 9.243 kJ/mol. For the kinetic analysis, the Lagergren equation was applied, and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model offered excellent data fitting for molybdenum uptake. The standard enthalpy was found to be -6.2 kJ/mol after calculating the thermodynamic constants. The calculated ∆G° were - 12.42, -12.635, and - 13.126 kJ mol -1 at all experimental temperatures.

Endophytic bacterial isolates were screened for their production of indole acetic acid (IAA) and cellulase enzyme, as well as their antagonistic activities against potato pathogens such as Ralstonia solanacearum and Fusarium oxysporum . The most promising endophytic isolates ML7 and PL10 showed the highest productivity of IAA, 69.1 and 64.8 µg/ml respectively. They also exhibited high cellulase activities on Congo red plates showing clear zone/colony diameters ratios of 3.36 and 2.8 respectively. The antagonistic activities of ML7 and PL10 against R. solanacearum were represented as 6 and 16 mm inhibition zones diameters, while the inhibition zones diameters representing the antagonistic activities of ML7 and PL10 against F. oxysporum were 58 and 7 mm , respectively. Isolates ML7 and PL10 exhibited a good ability to survive in a broad range of temperatures from 15 to 45 °C and upon exposure to direct UV radiation for 3 hours. Finally, isolates ML7 and PL10 were identified as Achromobacter marplatensis and Bacillus velezensis , respectively.

Known as a dirty bomb, RDD is an explosive device combined with radioactive material. In addition to posing an immediate risk to people's lives and property, the explosion contaminates a large area with radioactivity. Decontamination is expensive and time-consuming. limited radiation exposure may result in long-term health issues, psychological issues, and social repercussions. Depending on the kind of radioactive material used and how well it is dispersed, an RDD can have different effects. This work aims to assess the radiological risk resulting from direct exposure to radiation sources used in radiation dose distributions as well as related legal issues. Using the Hot-spot computer code, simulations were run for radiation sources of 137 Cs and 90 Sr. To simulate radiological effects and ground deposition, calculations for radioactive material dispersion models are being carried out, considering the worst-case scenario. The parameters for ground surface deposition, ground shine dose rate, and total effective dose equivalent change as one gets farther away from the radiation source. Examined are the effects of variables like location, wind speed, radiological risk, and emergency response. There have been comparisons made between the radioactive material dispersion model and the considered radiation sources. Legal issues are also deliberated within the context of both national framework and international law.","PeriodicalId":8110,"journal":{"name":"Arab Journal of Nuclear Sciences and Applications","volume":"73 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139393880","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}
