    Fungi are responsible for a wide variety of harm to humans, including food spoilage and infections. Using chemicals to restrict fungal development or infections has negative repercussions, such as human health dangers from the chemical applications and rising antifungal-drug resistance, so this study aimed to use medicinal plants and their extracts as an alternative method to restrict fungal growth. Ten isolates of the genus Aspergillus were identified from the fruits of dried grapes (raisins) of all kinds (Iraqi black raisins, Iranian yellow raisins, and brown raisins) at the species level using three – differential media: Czapek Yeast Extract Agar( CYA), Malt Extract Agar( MEA), and 25% Glycerol nitrate agar (G25N) incubated in 5, 25 and 37 ÂșC. Aspergillus niger was the most common isolated species. The number of A. niger isolates reached seven from all types of dried grapes, while A. flavus recorded three isolates from black raisins and brown raisins. Aspergillus Flavus Parasiticus Agar (AFPA) was used to detect the ability of A. flavus isolates to produce aflatoxin at 25-30 ÂșC for one week. Alcoholic extract of turmeric showed a significant inhibitory effect on the colony diameter of both A. flavus and A. niger isolated from the fruit of Iraqi black raisins with an inhibition rate of 86.6% and 68.8 %, respectively, at 4 mg/ ml concentration. The mixture of turmeric and essential olive oil gave a distinct inhibitory effect, reaching a 100% inhibition rate from the lowest to highest concentration for both A. niger and A. flavus

    Energy Consumption Control in Cooperative and Non-Cooperative Cognitive Radio using Variable Spectrum Sensing Sampling

    In cognitive radio (CR) network, the concept of energy-efficient design is very important considering the costly energy consumption that may limit its implementation, especially in battery-powered devices. In these networks, significant part of the energy is consumed in the energy detector during spectrum sensing to detect the presence and absence of the primary user (PU). In this paper, we investigated the reduction of energy consumption in two scenarios: the non-cooperative scenario and the cooperative scenario by reducing the number of sensed samples. We also explained the optimisation criteria for improving energy consumption by controlling the number of sensed samples, and the detection probability in both scenarios. The performance of energy detection system was evaluated in AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels. The simulation results show that in non-cooperative scenario at Eb/No of 10 dB, 50% and 46% of the energy consumed in the detection was saved when the number of sensed samples was reduced by 50% with acceptable loss in detection probability of 5% and 12% in AWGN and Rayleigh channel respectively. In cooperative scenario, the result shows that increasing the number of cognitive users (CU) reduced the average energy consumption per sensor and improved the detection probability

    The performance of the grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) system in the present study is improved using cooling technology. This technology reduces the temperature of solar PV modules and thus increases their efficiency and lifespan. The current solar PV system has been installed in northern Baghdad in the city of Taji. This study included improving electrical power, conversion efficiency, and performance ratio. All of these improvements are achieved by cooling using water. The performance ratio (PR) and efficiency maximum values of the reference (unimproved) and improved solar PV modules are at 10:10 am at 88.30% & 96.30% and 13.4% & 14.6%, respectively. Improved and reference PV modules maximum solar radiation values occur at 12:00 pm at 1.91 W and 1.566 W, respectively. The maximum solar radiation values of  the reference and improved PV modules are at 12:00 pm at 922.9 W/m2 and 1012.22 W/m2, respectively. The maximum daily gain of the power and solar irradiance are 22% and 10%, respectively. The significant innovation in the study is the successful performance optimization of the grid-connected solar PV system. Using different equations to study performance by following different behaviors. Along with improving and studying CIGS PV module performance

    Practicum is one of the academic activities carried out by students in the laboratory. This activity was carried out to develop student motor competencies in several courses that have practicum. So that understanding the theory can be practiced in this activity. In this practical activity involves a practicum assistant, where the practicum assistant is the students selected through a selection to carry out the task of guiding the practitioner in practical activities. Generally, this selection process requires a predetermined assessment. However, in the faculty of computer science the choice of practicum assistant is still done manually so that it is less effective in carrying out the results of the calculations. Suggestion for consideration for the lab to choose a practicum assistant so that it can speed up the process and can produce the best decisions about who the assistants receive. Tsukamoto method is one method in terms of multi-criteria decision making that can be used for these problems

    Generalized ÎČ\beta-conformal change and special Finsler spaces

    In this paper, we investigate the change of Finslr metrics L(x,y)→Lˉ(x,y)=f(eσ(x)L(x,y),ÎČ(x,y)),L(x,y) \to\bar{L}(x,y) = f(e^{\sigma(x)}L(x,y),\beta(x,y)), which we refer to as a generalized ÎČ\beta-conformal change. Under this change, we study some special Finsler spaces, namely, quasi C-reducible, semi C-reducible, C-reducible, C2C_2-like, S3S_3-like and S4S_4-like Finsler spaces. We also obtain the transformation of the T-tensor under this change and study some interesting special cases. We then impose a certain condition on the generalized ÎČ\beta-conformal change, which we call the b-condition, and investigate the geometric consequences of such condition. Finally, we give the conditions under which a generalized ÎČ\beta-conformal change is projective and generalize some known results in the literature.Comment: References added, some modifications are performed, LateX file, 24 page

    Key Clinical Message: A 76-year-old man developed a hemoperitoneum after ERCP for choledocholithiasis. He underwent a laparotomy and splenectomy for a capsular tear at the splenic hilum, a rare complication of ERCP. “Bowing” of the endoscope with torsion on the greater curvature of the stomach may lead to shear forces causing splenic injury

    Concurrent π\pi-vector fields and energy beta-change

    Full text link
    The present paper deals with an \emph{intrinsic} investigation of the notion of a concurrent π\pi-vector field on the pullback bundle of a Finsler manifold (M,L)(M,L). The effect of the existence of a concurrent π\pi-vector field on some important special Finsler spaces is studied. An intrinsic investigation of a particular ÎČ\beta-change, namely the energy ÎČ\beta-change ($\widetilde{L}^{2}(x,y)=L^{2}(x,y)+ B^{2}(x,y) with \ B:=g(\bar{\zeta},\bar{\eta});; \bar{\zeta} beingaconcurrent being a concurrent \pi−vectorfield),isestablished.TherelationbetweenthetwoBarthelconnections-vector field), is established. The relation between the two Barthel connections \Gammaand and \widetilde{\Gamma},correspondingtothischange,isfound.Thisrelation,togetherwiththefactthattheCartanandtheBarthelconnectionshavethesamehorizontalandverticalprojectors,enableustostudytheenergy, corresponding to this change, is found. This relation, together with the fact that the Cartan and the Barthel connections have the same horizontal and vertical projectors, enable us to study the energy \beta$-change of the fundamental linear connection in Finsler geometry: the Cartan connection, the Berwald connection, the Chern connection and the Hashiguchi connection. Moreover, the change of their curvature tensors is concluded. It should be pointed out that the present work is formulated in a prospective modern coordinate-free form.Comment: 27 pages, LaTex file, Some typographical errors corrected, Some formulas simpifie
