Leishmaniasis is an endemic disease in Iraq, where both forms of the disease, cutaneous and visceral, are found. The effect of Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) with mean particle size less than 100 nanometer (nm) on viability and growth rate of Leishmania donovani promastigotes was evaluated. The anti-leishmanial activity of different concentrations (0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1 μg/ml) of ZnO NPs was investigated on promastigotes growth rates and viability in comparison to promastigotes exposed to the same concentrations of sodium stibogluconate (Sb) (pentostam).The inhibitory concentrations (IC50s) of ZnO NPs were calculated after 24 , 48 and 72 hr which were (0.871, 0.156 and 0.120 μg/ml) respectively with significant (p< 0.05

It is worth noting that preprocessing steps take remarkable efforts to handle this type of data, since it is pure data set with so many null values reaching a ratio of 94.8%, then it becomes 0% after achieving these steps. However, in order to apply Classification And Regression Tree (CART) algorithm, several tests were assumed as classes, because of the dataset was unlabeled. Which then enabled discovery of patterns of tests relationships, that consequently, extends its impact on patients’ health, since it will assist in determining test values by performing only relevant

In recent years, it has been recognize that embedding information in transform domain leads to more robust watermarks, so in this paper wavelet transform used as transformation domain of digital image (i.e. cover image). The main concern of the proposed watermark algorithm in this paper is to embed a watermark text in the selected color image during adaptive wavelet transformation. The embedding of the watermark text (digital 0, 1) makes by separating sequential text into differen

Drastic threat to the natural system is caused by the uncontrolled release of synthetic pollutants, including azo dyes. This study centered on the decolorization and biodegradation of water soluble azo dye reactive blue (RB) in a batch mode sequential anaerobic-aerobic processes. A local sewage treatment plant was the source where activated sludge was collected to be used as non-adapted mixed culture with both free and the alginate immobilized cells for RB biodegradation. Under anaerobic conditions, the free and immobilized mixed cells were proved to completely decolorize 10 mg/ L of RB within 20 and 30 h, respectively. Alginate- immobilized mixed cells, resulted in 88%, 87%, and 87% maximum COD removals with samples con

Le signe se pose des problèmes dans la langue espagnole vu qu'il peut se présenter dans de nombreux emplois et avec plusieurs valeurs. Cette diversité d'emplois a suscité de nombreux travaux sur la sémantique et la syntaxe de ce signe, visant à une compréhension approximative de ses valeurs.
La forme se est un signe incomplet sémantiquement. En d'autres termes, elle ne porte pas d'indications lexicales lorsqu'elle survient seule dans un énoncé. De là provient le fait que sa présence est liée à celle d'un syntagme verbal, comme l'affirme ALARCOS : "se es un signo dependiente cuya presencia exige necesariamente la existencia de un sintagma verbal con el que se asocia íntimamente, al igual que los demás llamados «pronomb

This study aims to emphasize the vulnerable responses of the Pueblo people to the memories of the clan and to highlight Silko’s methods to sustain the history and lifestyle of the indigenous people. Therefore, Silko’s novel can be situated historically and culturally within memory-studies. To analyze the contrasting behaviors of characters, this paper projects the relationship between the collective patriarchal doctrines and that of the individual within the framework of memory studies.

Furthermore, when working with high-dimensional data, where the 2D-pixel values of facial images, can be computationally challenging, the face recognition problem gets harder, so the current research compares the dimensionality reduction techniques like the principal component analysis algorithm PCA, an unsupervised learning algorithm that reduces dim
