Effect of nano and micro SiO2 particles with different weight percent (2,4,6,8 and 10) %wt on the Interlaminar fracture toughness (GIc) of 16-plies of woven roving glass fiber /epoxy composites prepared by hand lay – up technique were investigated. The specimens were tested using DCB test (mode I).
Area method was used to compute the interlaminar fracture toughness. The results show that, GIc would increase with the increasing in the filler content, the main failure in microcomposites and nanocomposites was delamination in the layers, the delamination reduced with increasing in the filler content.

In this work, the linear properties of Vitamin D₃-5000IU soft gel were investigated by measuring its absorption and fluorescence spectra. It was observed that there was a shift towards longer wavelength within limits (75 nm), with quantitative efficiency equal to (33.58%). The values of absorbance were used to calculate the extinction coefficient, optical refractive index, optical conductivity and optical dielectric constant values.

Internal conversion coefficients (ICC) and electron–positron pair conversion coefficients (PCC) for multipole transition of the core nucleus 88Sr have been calculated theoretically. The calculation is based on the relativistic Dirac–Fock (DF) solutions using the so called ‘‘Frozen Orbital’’ approximation, takes into account the effect of atomic vacancies created in the conversion process, covering a transition energies of 1–5000 keV. A large number of points were used to minimize any errors due to mesh-size effects. The internal conversion coefficients display a smooth monotonic dependence on transition energy, multipolarity and atomic shell. Comparing the values of PCC to ICC, it is interesting to note, that the energy dep

This study is unique in this field. It represents a mix of three branches of technology: photometry, spectroscopy, and image processing. The work treats the image by treating each pixel in the image based on its color, where the color means a specific wavelength on the RGB line; therefore, any image will have many wavelengths from all its pixels. The results of the study are specific and identify the elements on the nucleus’s surface of a comet, not only the details but also their mapping on the nucleus. The work considered 12 elements in two comets (Temple 1 and 67P/Churyumoy-Gerasimenko). The elements have strong emission lines in the visible range, which were recognized by our MATLAB program in the treatment of the image. The percen

These samples were obtained from different sources available in the local markets in Baghdad and other provinces. The measurements were done by the American-made detector (RAD7). The results showed that the highest C_Rn in the air emitted from cement samples after coating was in the cement sample (Iranian origin) where the concentration was (58.27 Bq/m³) while the lowest C_Rn was found in building material samples

The synthesis of conducting polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposites containing various concentrations of functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (f-SWCNT) were synthesized by in situ polymerization of aniline monomer. The morphological and electrical properties of pure PANI and PANI/SWCNT nanocomposites were examined by using Fourier transform- infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) respectively. The FTIR shows the aniline monomers were polymerized on the surface of SWCNTs, depending on the -* electron interaction between aniline monomers and SWCNTs. AFM analysis showed increasing in the roughness with increasing SWCNT content. The AC, DC electrical conductivities of pure PANI and PANI/SWCNT nanocomposite h

Light isotopes, especially closed-shell nuclei, have significance in thermonuclear reactions of the Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen (CNO) cycle in stars.

The research demonstrates that perovskite methylammonium lead iodide (MAPI) can detect various hazardous and polluting chemicals, including ammonia gas (NH₃), in the environment. To enhance the sensitivity and response time and modify the structural properties of pure MAPI, zinc sulfide (ZnS) is incorporated in three different concentrations (1, 2.5, and 5 wt%). The sensitivity of these ZnS-doped samples is evaluated for detecting NH₃ and alcohol vapor. Sensors based on MAPI:ZnS composites are fabricated on writing paper samples using a solution-processing technique. Upon exposure to NH₃, MAPI undergoes a colorimetric change from black to yellow. This phenomenon is attributed to the degradation of perovsk

Two samples of γ–mesoporous alumina (0.3M/m-Al₂O₃ and 0.5M/m-Al₂O₃) were prepared using the microemulsion method, with aluminium sulphate serving as the alumina precursor. The raw materials for microemulsion are sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) as the surfactant, 1-butanol as a cosurfactant, and n-hexanol as the oil phase. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), BET surface area, BJH porosity of the samples, and their N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms at 77 K. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and AFM techniques were used to characterize these samples. The results show that the two samples have identical phase structures and perfect indexing to the γ-Al₂O₃; the 0.3M/m-Al₂

This work investigates the photon radiation shielding efficiency of selected perovskite ceramics, halide-based double perovskites and organic-inorganic halide perovskites, using computational modeling across the photon energy range 0.015–15 MeV. The investigated parameters are Mass Attenuation Coefficient (MAC), Linear Attenuation Coefficient (LAC), Half Value Layer (HVL), Tenth Value Layer (TVL) and Mean Free Path (MFP). The results are based on the total interaction cross section contributions of photon-matter interactions. They reveal that the shielding efficiency of these materials is strongly influenced by their elemental composition, density, and photon energy. Two software tools, Phy-X/PSD and NGCal, were employed in the study t

Ion engines, also known as plasma engines, are a pioneering space propulsion technology that is constantly being developed. In this work, a static magnetic field is used in a cylindrical engine that is placed inside a vacuum chamber under a pressure of 0.2 mbar and uses argon gas with an applied voltage of 5 kV and an engine power supply of 25-100 watts. The shape and intensity of the magnetic field determine the discharge performance of the ion thruster. A cylindrical ion engine was constructed with dimensions 5, 5.5, and 0.7 cm in length, width, and thickness, respectively. The coil of the ion engine generates a static magnetic field of 9 and 25 mT. This system was used to study the effect of the magnetic field on the ionization rate a

The expansion of building blocks at the expense of agricultural land is one of the main problems causing climate change within the urban area of a city. The research came to determine these indicators, as a study was conducted on the expansion of the building blocks in three municipalities in the city of Baghdad for a period of four decades extended in the form of time cycles for the period (1981-2021) and using ArcMap GIS 10.7 technology. Then, the impact of this expansion on temperature rates was evaluated, as they are the most important climatic elements due to their significant effect on the rest of the elements. The results showed a clear, direct relationship between the increase in urban expansion rates and the corresponding rise i

In this study, one-dimensional non-linear Klein-Gordon equations are solved by applying the integral transform known as the Rohit transform method. The approximate solutions of one-dimensional non-linear Klein- Gordon equations are obtained by combining the Adomian polynomials with the Rohit transform. To show the effectiveness and performance of the Rohit transform method, five one-dimensional non-linear Klein- Gordon type equations are considered and solved. The graphs of the solutions obtained are plotted to indicate the generality and clarity of the proposed method. It can be easily verified that the proposed method yielded the results that satisfy their corresponding non-linear Klein-Gordon equations. The integral Rohit transform co

This research study the effect of Titanium dioxide on the tensile properties of
Polystyrene (PS) and Polycarbonate (PC) polymers. The stress – strain curve for pure PS
and pure PC, shows that Young modulus for PS is higher than Young modulus for PC,
because PS have higher ultimate strength than PC.
The addition of TiO2 to PS and PC will reduce the Young modulus and ultimate stress,
because the TiO2 particles will reduces or freeze the orientation of these molecular chain
and reduced the toughness of PC, while when the TiO2 were added to PS, the value of
toughness will be stabilized because TiO2 particles make these chains interlocked and the
mobility of the chains will be restrict.

This work investigates the utilization of waste papers (natural and industrial) i.e (citrus aurantium and papers A4) mortars containing specified contents 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% of waste papers were prepared and cured. Mechanical characteristics such as compressive and bending strengths, hardness and water absorption were determined for the mortars mixed with the waste papers and compared with those obtained from the pure mortars.
