تم اجراء الدراسة في حقل كردة رشة (جامعة صلاح الدين) ولمدة شهر ليقارن تأثير كل من مساحيق A.kurdica و Rifaxmine وRanitidine كمواد المعدي والمدعوم للمناعة للمسان المعرض للإجهاد والتي يأثر علي معدل النمو نتيجة تأكل الحويصلات والآفات المعوية . تم اجراء الدراسة على 75 طير سمان (عمرها 12 أسبوعًا) في ستة معاملات أذ قسمت إلى: = (T0-) تحكم سلبي بدون علاج، (T0 +) = تحكم إيجابي (لا يوجد إجهاد أو علاج (T1) معالج بـ Rifaximine 200mg / L ماء مختلط،= (T2) معالج بـ Ranitidine 200mg/l) = (T3), تمت معالجته بمستخلص ⸲A.kurdica 100mg / L تم غمر المجموعات المختبرة باستثناء مجموعة التحكم الإيجابية في ماء الصنبور باردة (17 درجة مئوية) كمحفز للتوتر. أظهر التحليل المجهري أن السمان المعالج مسبقًا بمستخلص A.kurdica (T3) كان له تأثير معنوي (p<0.05) في طبقة قوانص كويلين أقل اضطرابا من تلك الخاصة بمجموعات T1 و T2 و T0 على التوالي. علاوة على ذلك، أشارت نتائج Eliza إلى زيادة عيار الأجسام المضادة ضد فيروسات ND وIBD و IB لمجموعات T3 مع زيادة HDL بشكل ملحوظ وانخفاض LDL و VLDL و TCHO لـ T3 مقارنة بمجموعات T1 و T2 و T0 + T0 على التوالي. أظهر مستخلص نبات A.kurdica الممزوج بالماء تأثيرات إيجابية على وزن الجسم ، وخصائص الدهون ، والحالة المناعية ، وتقليل تآكل قوانص في السمان، والذي يمكن اعتباره نباتًا طبيًا وكذلك عاملًا يعزز النمو في صناعة الدواجن. The conducted research was done in Grda rasha field (Salahaddin University) for one month to compare the impacts of Alcea kurdica powder, Rifaxmine, and Ranitidine as anti-lesion and immune-strengthening agents on stress-induced quails which are affecting their growth rate and in severe cases causing gizzard erosion and deep intestinal lesions. To do that, 75 quails (12 weeks old) were grouped into six treatments with different additives. (T0-) = Negative control (Stress-induced Without treatment), (T0+) = Positive control (No stress inducing or treatment). T1= (treated with Rifaximine 200mg/L water mixed), T2= (treated with Ranitidine 200mg/L), T3= (treated with A.kurdica extract 100mg/L). The tested groups, except for positive control, were immersed in tap cold water (17°C) as a stress-induced technique. The Macroscopic analysis showed that quails pre-treated with A.kurdica extract (T3) had significantly (p<0.05) lower relative gizzard koilin layer disruption than those of T1, T2, and T0- groups, respectively. Moreover, the Elisa results indicated higher antibody titers against ND, IBD, and IB viruses for the T3 group with significantly increased HDL and lowered LDL, VLDL, and TCHO for T3 than that of T1, T2, T0+ T0- groups, respectively. Water mixed A.kurdica extract showed positive influences on the body weight, lipid profile, immune status and minimized gizzard erosions of breeding quails, which can be considered as a medicinal plant as well as a growth-enhancing agent in the poultry industry

A feature selection method based on auto-encoder for internet of things intrusion detection
The evolution in gadgets where various devices have become connected to the internet such as sensors, cameras, smartphones, and others, has led to the emergence of internet-of-things (IoT). As any network, security is the main issue facing IoT. Several studies addressed the intrusion detection task in IoT. The majority of these studies utilized different statistical and bio-inspired feature selection techniques. Deep learning is a family of techniques that demonstrated remarkable performance in the field of classification. The emergence of deep learning techniques has led to configure new neural network architectures that is designed for the feature selection task. This study proposes a deep learning architecture known as auto-encoder (AE) for the task of feature selection in IoT intrusion detection. A benchmark dataset for IoT intrusions has been considered in the experiments. The proposed AE has been carried out for the feature selection task along with a simple neural network (NN) architecture for the classification task. Experimental results showed that the proposed AE showed an accuracy of 99.97% with a false alarm rate (FAR) of 1.0. The comparison against the state of the art proves the efficacy of AE
A Contrastive Phonological Study of Linking in English and Arabic
The present study is concerned with identifying and contrasting the phonological phenomenon of linking in English and Arabic.This study hypothesizes that there are more differences than similarities concerning this phonological phenomenon between both languages. The hypotheses of the present study are verified through a qualitative analysis of some selected data. The results of the present study shed light on how English and Arabic speakers link words together in the rapid casual speech. The present study concludes that English speakers use [w], [j], [r], or intrusive[r] to avoid the occurrence of two vowels and to make the speech easier. Arabic speakers, on the other hand, use kasrah [ɪ], fat-ha [e], and dhamma [ʊ] to avoid the occurrence of two saakins (iltiqaa al-sakinyian) and to facilitate the connected speech. Keywords: Linking, English and Arabic, Contrastive Phonolog

Improved weed management for transplanted aman rice
Rainfed transplanted rice grown in the monsoon aman season accounts for more than 50% of the total area planted to rice in Bangladesh. Because of rising input costs, including labor, farmers are searching for ways to maintain income, by either increasing yields or reducing costs or both. On-farm trials in the High Barind Tract indicated that one-third of the farmers would be able to gain 0.5 t ha–1 or more additional grain by undertaking more intensive or timelier weeding than is usual under current management practices. Higher yields were observed on-farm from a preemergence application of butachlor(1.25 kg a.i. ha–1) compared with hand weeding twice. In Comilla District, trials of a range of weed management practices demonstrated that the yield advantage over the farmers’ practice, either one or two hand weedings, was on average 355 ± 18 kg ha–1 for Rifit (pretilachlor), 281 ± 39 kg ha–1 for Machete (butachlor), and 210 ± 34 kg ha–1 for Ronstar (oxadiazon), each followed by one hand weeding in aman 2003. Partial budgets calculated for inputs and returns showed that hand weeding was less profitable than herbicides in rainfed rice,incurring US49 ha–1 lower return. To date, herbicides have been largely promoted for irrigated rice in Bangladesh. The trial results demonstrate that under rainfed conditions early in the aman season, water levels are adequate for herbicides to work effectively. The use of herbicides allows timely weed control when there is a shortage of labor and avoids transaction costs, such as the provision of meals and time needed to source laborers. Herbicides are likely to be adopted by growers experiencing labor shortages, particularly on large farms and for farmers seeking to reduce input costs. Sharecroppers and tenant farmers who pay rent are primarily concerned about obtaining a high aman yield, so innovations that raise aman yields (such as herbicides that will have a similar effect as a timely first weeding) are also likely to be adopted on sharecropped plots, even when costs are not shared between the landlord and tenant

The present study is concerned with examining persuasiveness from a pragmatic standpoint in some American Christian sermons about the USA elections 2016 basing on Aristotle's persuasive appeals and Grice's maxims. It includes qualitative as well as quantitative analyses to answer the questions of this study, fulfill its aims, and verify its key hypotheses. The findings have provided a new dimension added to the previous literature about the pragmatics of persuasiveness. Most previous studies on American Christian sermons concentrate on its theological aspects regardless of its pragmatic importance. Thus, the present study attempts to bridge this gap by offering a pragmatic analysis of American Christian sermons especially those about the USA elections to examine their persuasive effectiveness. The findings have shown that the persuasive appeal of pathos is highly resorted to by the American Christian preachers so that the congregation will be receptive to and convinced by the preacher's message. They also have shown that resorting to the strategy of the non-observance of conversational maxims means that American Christian preachers breach one or more of the conversational maxims to express their messages indirectly by the strategy of flouting and opting out. The study suggests executing further research works on the pragmatics of persuasiveness used in sermons by adopting different pragmatic theories and strategies
Cloud-Connected Wireless Holter Monitor Machine with Neural Networks Based ECG Analysis for Remote Health Monitoring
This study describes the creation of a wireless, transportable Holter monitor
to improve the accuracy of cardiac disease diagnosis. The main goal of this
study is to develop a low-cost cardiac screening system suited explicitly for
underprivileged areas, addressing the rising rates of cardiovascular death. The
suggested system includes a wireless Electrocardiogram (ECG) module for
real-time cardiac signal gathering using attached electrodes, with data
transfer made possible by WiFi to a cloud server for archival and analysis. The
system uses a neural network model for automated ECG classification,
concentrating on the identification of cardiac anomalies. The diagnostic
performance of cardiologist-level ECG analysis is surpassed by our upgraded
deep neural network architecture, which underwent thorough evaluation and
showed a stunning accuracy rate of more than 88\%. A quick, accurate, and
reasonably priced option for cardiac screening is provided by this
ground-breaking technology, which smoothly merges wireless data transfer with
AI-assisted diagnostics. In addition to providing a thorough overview of the
development process, this paper also highlights methods used to improve model
accuracy, such as data preparation, class imbalance correction using
oversampling, and model fine-tuning. The work shows the viability of a
comprehensive remote cardiac screening system powered by AI and maximising the
use of wearable and cloud computing resources. Such cutting-edge remote health
monitoring technologies have great promise for improved health outcomes and
early identification, especially in resource-constrained countries
