Biosynthesis, Characterization And Antiproliferative Activity Of Green Synthesized Gold Nanoparticles Using Lantadene A Extracted From Lantana Camara, Dawood Ali Salim Dawood, Lee Suan Chua Ph.D, Tian Swee Tan Ph.D, Ahmed F. Alshemary Ph.D

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

This study was focused on the biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles loaded with lantadene A (LA-AuNPs) from Lantana camara extract and the antiproliferative effects on prostate cancer cells (LNCaP). The synthesized LA-AuNPs had smooth surface, and nearly spherical in shape (67.94 nm) with the zeta potential (-30.11±0.83 mV). LAAuNPs showed a dose dependent cytotoxic activity with IC50, 126.82 µg/mL against LNCaP, but non-cytotoxic to normal prostate cells. The intrinsic pathway of apoptosis was caused by the increase of caspases-3/7 and -9 activity and cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase. Therefore, LA-AuNPs could be a potent lead to inhibit LNCaP

An Online E-Voting System Based On An Adaptive Ledger With Singular Value Decomposition Technique, Rihab Habeeb Sahib, Prof. Dr. Eman Salih Al-Shamery

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

Regular E-voting systems for elections may count the votes in less time,less cost,save the privacy of citizens,but still considered risky as votes can be tampered.E-voting systems based on a network distributed ledger show fast results,more trusted,save privacy,cannot be tampered,and distributed in which no central organization controls the system.This paper illustrate an e-voting system to solve the challenge of a massive ledger that is distributed among network-nodes using a data reduction technique as a security-matching-tool,singular value decomposition(SVD) that handle a copy of election results in another form and matched with the SQL-database results to announce a successful election-event representing a transparency-powerful-secured-system

Detecting Malicious Dns Queries Over Encrypted Tunnels Using Statistical Analysis And Bi-Directional Recurrent Neural Networks, Mohammad Al-Fawa'reh, Zain Ashi, Mousa Tayseer Jafar

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

The exponential rise in the number of malicious threats targeting computer networks and digital services puts network infrastructure in jeopardy. Domain name protocol attacks are one of the most pervasive network attacks posing a threat to networks, whereby attackers send harmful information to the network; this type of threat is identified as DNS tunneling. The DNS protocol has recently gained increased attention from cyber-attackers, targeting organizations with a web presence or reliance on e-commerce businesses. Cyber-attackers can subtly exploit the contents of encrypted DNS packets that are sent across covert network tunnels, which are difficult for firewalls and blacklist detection …

Artificial Intelligence For Para Rubber Identification Combining Five Machine Learning Methods, Chairote Yaiprasert Ph.D.

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

This study aims to identify Para rubber species using a combination of five machine learning techniques to classify leaf images. The learning process is defined using a dataset for each classification method. Approximately 1,472 leaf images are prepared consisting of various sizes, shapes, quality provided for the model. The classification indicators are defined with the help of an algorithm to identify at least three of the top five potential classification outcomes. The algorithm accurately predicts 100% of the five classification methods. Methods can provide precise and rapid classification of large quantities, without the need for image preprocessing prior to classification.

Synergistic Extraction Of Silver From Nitric Acid Medium With Dithizone In The Presence Of A Secondary Amine- Amberlite La-2 Using 110mag-Radioisotope, Madhusudan Mandal Ph.D.

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

Synergistic extraction of silver has been investigated in the presence of two different kinds of extractants, one of which is a chelating ligand, dithizone and the other is a long-chain secondary amine amberlite LA-2 at pH 3.0 using a radiotracer technique. The apparent formation constant, overall equilibrium constant and adduct formation constants were calculated from distribution coefficients. Interestingly, it was observed that the adduct formation constant is too high when the ligand concentration is increased by keeping the amine concentration fixed at 0.044 M compared to that obtained when the ligand concentration is kept fixed at 8.74×10^-4 M.

Consolidation Of Mobile Sands With Ameliorants And Phytomelioration, Sharibay Toremuratov, Bakhtiyar Ismailov

Karakalpak Scientific Journal

The results of even a few experiments show the possibility of obtaining a tangible effect when jointly carrying out chemical reclamation and phytomelioration. Reliable habitation of plants is a guarantee of further long-term stopping of the movement of sand and improvement of the ecological situation.

Thus, the sand-fixing crust obtained by this method simultaneously performs several functions: it stops the movement of sand, reduces dust removal, creates favorable conditions for the growth and development of vegetation, contributes to the emergence of soil structures, the accumulation of humus, etc.

Evaluation Of Wind Data Reliability By Using Logarithmic And Power Laws: A Case Study In Southern Iraq, Ahmed B. Khamees, Saif F. Yaseen, Khalid S. Heni, Mudar Ahmed Abdulsattar

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

In this study, two sites were investigated in the southern region of Iraq: Ali AL-Gharbi and AL-Salman in Mesan and AL-Muthana provinces, respectively. A theoretical extrapolation between wind speed and height was carried out for both locations each month using the Logarithmic Law. Power Law was also applied to achieve calculations of wind shear coefficient (α) by using the actual data collected from the meteorological mast installed in each site at three levels of 10 m, 30 m, and 50 m, at an interval of ten minutes. To compare the effects of each law, two laws are employed.

Polystyrene Molecular Weight Determination Of Submicron Particles Shell, Airat Z. Sakhabutdinov, Safaa.M.R.H. Hussein, Alsu R. Ibragimova Ph.D., Vladimir Kuklin Ph.D., Maxim Petrovich Danilaev, L.Y. Zaharova

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

The method of determination of the molecular weight of the polystyrene, which is formed as the shell on the surfaces of submicron aluminum oxide particles is considered in the paper. This method is based on the sedimentation of submicron particles, covered by polymer molecules, in a solvent for polystyrene. It is shown that the average polystyrene molecular weight is 39500±11250 amu, when the polymer shells on the surfaces of submicron particles (Al2O3) are formed by the vapor-phase method.

Adaptive Reconstruction Of The Heterogeneous Scan Line Etm+ Correction Technique, Heba Kh. Abbas, Salema S. Salman, Rash Awad Abtan, Anwar H. Al-Saleh, Ali A. Al-Zuky

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

ETM+ is a land-imaging sensor with great and wide use in many fields, however, after May 2003, because of a technical defect in the sensor´s system scan line corrector SLC, it started giving images of earth containing black gap lines at a 22% rate. These gaps made the process of analyzing and extracting accurate information from these images difficult and complicated. Therefore, scientists have developed many techniques to remove the gap lines from all ETM+ band-images and complete the missing data. In this study, three different ETM+ time images with a 16-day interval between them were used to fill gap …

Two-Dimensional Quantitative Profiling Of Cell Morphology With Serous Effusion By Unsupervised Machine Learning Analysis, Safaa Al-Qaysi Ph.D., Ding Dai Md Ph.D., Heng Hong Md Ph.D., Yuhua Wen Ph.D., X.H. Hu Ph.D.

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

Cytological evaluation of serous effusion specimens is an important part of cancer diagnosis. In this study we performed two-dimensional (2D) morphometric features and clustering analysis for development of useful techniques for identification and differentiation of malignant and begin cells in serous effusion specimens extracted from ten patients with clinical symptoms of pleural and peritoneal effusion. Our findings show that the two-dimensional (2D) morphometric features and clustering analysis are useful techniques for identification and differentiation of malignant and begin cells in serous effusion specimens, which can lead to development of new methods for rapid cells profiling in clinical application.

The Importance Of Dna Repair Capacity To (And A Model To Predict) Cell Radiosensitivity To Ions, David B. Flint, David B. Flint

Dissertations and Theses (Open Access)

Radiation therapy with ions has a number of advantages over conventional radiation therapy with photons, including favorable depth-dose distributions, greater relative biological effectiveness (RBE) and a lesser dependence on a number of biological factors known to affect radiosensitivity to photons, including DNA repair capacity. Thus, it is expected that an additional benefit of using ions is that they mitigate the great heterogeneities in treatment responses commonly observed in photon therapies.

However, by analyzing the cell survival of human cancer cell lines exposed to clinically relevant photon, proton, and carbon ion beams, we show there is not significantly less relative variability …

Experimental Evidence That Metapopulation Structure Can Accelerate Adaptive Evolution, Partha Pratim Chakraborty, Louis R. Nemzer, Rees Kassen

Chemistry and Physics Faculty Articles

Whether the spatial arrangement of a population influences adaptive evolution has been a long-standing question in population genetics. In contrast to standard population genetic models, evolutionary graph theory (EGT) predicts certain topologies amplify (increase) the probability that a beneficial mutation will spread in the population relative to a well-mixed population. Here, we test these predictions empirically by tracking the fixation dynamics of an antibiotic resistant mutant under positive selection as it spreads through networks of different topologies both in vitro and in silico. We show that star-like topologies involving bi-directional dispersal between a central hub and peripheral leaves can …

Local And 2-Local Derivations On Octonion Algebras, Allayar Allambergenov

Karakalpak Scientific Journal

The present paper is devoted to study of local and 2-local derivations on octonion algebras. We shall give a general form of local derivations on the real octonion algebra \[{\mathbb{O}_\mathbb{R}}.\] This description implies that the space of all local derivations on \[{\mathbb{O}_\mathbb{R}}\] when equipped with Lie bracket is isomorphic to the Lie algebra \[\mathfrak{s}{\mathfrak{o}_7}(\mathbb{R})\] of all real skew-symmetric \[7 \times 7\]-matrices. We also consider \[2\]-local derivations on an octonion algebra \[{\mathbb{O}_\mathbb{F}}\] over an algebraically closed field \[\mathbb{F}\] of the characteristic zero and prove that every \[2\]-local derivation on \[{\mathbb{O}_\mathbb{F}}\] is a derivation. Further, we apply these results to similar problems …

Examining Melt Pond Dynamics And Light Availability In The Arctic Ocean Via High Resolution Satellite Imagery, Austin Wesley Abbott

OES Theses and Dissertations

As the Arctic experiences consequences of climate change, a shift from thicker, multi-year ice to thinner, first-year ice has been observed. First-year ice is prone to extensive pools of meltwater (“melt ponds”) forming on its surface, which enhance light transmission to the ocean. Changes in the timing and distribution of melt pond formation and associated increases in under-ice light availability are the primary drivers for seasonal progression of water column primary production and warming. Observations of melt pond development and distribution require meter scale resolution and have traditionally been limited to airborne images. However, recent advances in high spatial resolution …

All this testifies to the presence of large undeveloped production reserves and huge human potential. However, due to reduction of Amudarya water …

Investigation Of The Twist Of A Yarn With A Square Structure, Liza Toreniyazova, R. Orazbayeva, D. Kadirova, R. Rakhimkhodzhaev

Karakalpak Scientific Journal

The article presents the results of a study of the effect of yarn twist on the surface density of clothing fabrics with a square structure and the filling calculation of the fabric depending on the weave. The tension in the process of weaving square fabric on a loom with short overlaps is higher relative to weaving of fabric with long overlaps. With an increase in the twist of the yarn, the surface density of the fabric, the coefficient of filling (CST) and the coefficient of connectivity of the fabric (FTC) of the square structure increase.

Current Transportation Processes In P-N-N+ - Structures Under Saturation Of Recombination Rate, Abat K. Uteniyazov, A Leyderman, M Nsanbaev, Sh Annayeva

Karakalpak Scientific Journal

In the article, the model of the recombination of non - equilibrium carriers through a pair recombination complex of the donor-acceptor pair type is studied under conditions when the concentration of such paired complexes changes (decreases) during the excitation of the material. Also, the article describes that the injection into the p-n-n⁺ - structure can lead to fundamental changes in the distribution of the concentration of free carriers, especially, to the appearance of a periodic term depending on the concentration of the sample length (instead of the usual exponential dependence).

Somatic Inhibition By Microscopic Magnetic Stimulation, Hui Ye

Biology: Faculty Publications and Other Works

Electric currents can produce quick, reversible control of neural activity. Externally applied electric currents have been used in inhibiting certain ganglion cells in clinical practices. Via electromagnetic induction, a miniature-sized magnetic coil could provide focal stimulation to the ganglion neurons. Here we report that high-frequency stimulation with the miniature coil could reversibly block ganglion cell activity in marine mollusk Aplysia californica, regardless the firing frequency of the neurons, or concentration of potassium ions around the ganglion neurons. Presence of the ganglion sheath has minimal impact on the inhibitory effects of the coil. The inhibitory effect was local to the …
