In terms of generating fuels, either solid or liquid. To mitigate human climate change, biofuels can replace fossil fuels. Emissions of greenhouse gases. Yet, evidence that biofuels are generated in a sustainable manner should be the foundation for any policy decisions about them. To this goal, life cycle assessment (LCA) offers details on the environmental effects linked to the manufacturing of biofuels. Here, we examine developments in biomass conversion to biofuels and their effects on the environment. through life cycle analysis. Gasification, combustion, pyrolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis pathways, and fermentation are examples of processes. Gasification, combustion, and pyrolysis are examples of low temperature thermochemical processes, which occur below 300 °C, and high temperature processes, which occur above 300 °C. In contrast to gasification, which operates at temperatures between 800 and 1300 °C, pyrolysis operates at a relatively lower temperature of up to 500 °C. We concentrate on the following topics: 1) the benefits and drawbacks of the thermochemical and biochemical conversion routes of biomass into various fuels, as well as the possibility of integrating these routes for better process efficiency; 2) methodological approaches and key findings from&nbsp; studies on biomass to biofuel conversion pathways published from ; and 3) social, economic, and environmental trends and knowledge gaps in biomass conversion into biofuels using thermochemical and biochemical methods.

Despite its contribution to lessening the demand for medical services, it carries a number of health concerns for individuals who use it. Research on this subject revealed that students in the health sciences continued to self-medicate and advocate for it in public. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of self-medication and investigate factors associated with it. A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was carried out to identify self-medication among undergraduate students at the College of Medical Technology, Derna, Libya. The data were collected and analyzed for counts and percentages. The study revealed that 64.72% of students reported self-medication practices in the preceding year. Moreover, self-medication practice was found more frequently in female students as compared to male students. Headache was the most frequently reported illness; commonly used drugs were antipyretics and analgesics; and the reason quoted was the disease's ease of prevention and cure. This study shows that self-medication is widely practiced among college students. There is a dire need to make students aware of the pros and cons of self-medication in order to ensure safe usage of medicines</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Hafed Idris Zaatout, Reem Idris Zaatout Copyright (c) 2023 https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/319 Thu, 20 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Effect of Different Purging Gases on Weld Geometry and Mechanical Properties of 304L Stainless Steel Using GTAW Technique https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/320 <p>Stainless steel is used in many applications due to its resistance to corrosion. When welding austenitic stainless steel, the weld seam is exposed to heat and air, which causes oxidation.&nbsp; Purging is an important step to obtain high quality and prevent oxidation and thus avoiding discoloration and welding under bead discontinuities. The right purging gas is essential for getting the best results. The purpose of this study is to determine how different purging gases, such as pure nitrogen, pure argon, and a mixture of 26% N2, 4% Co2, and 70% He, affect the mechanical properties of 304 L austenitic stainless steel welds, including their tensile strength, yield strength, and hardness. The results of this study show that as no significant differences in properties have been found, it may be concluded that all named gases can be used as purging gases in the welding of austenitic stainless steels.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Taher Abani, Azaldin Alhaj Kozam, Khaled Gewa, Mohamed Saraj, Hesham Eshabani Copyright (c) 2023 https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/320 Sat, 22 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000 The Fuzzy Future: Embracing the Potential of Fuzzy Functions https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/329 <p>Most of the tools we've used in the past for formal modeling, reasoning, and computing are clear, predictable, and precise. By crisp, we mean that the answer is either yes or no, not more or less. In traditional dual logic, for example, a statement can either be true or false but not both. In set theory, an element either belongs to a set or it doesn't. In optimization, a solution is either possible or it isn't. Precision means that the parameters of a model exactly represent either how we see the phenomenon being modeled or how the real system being modeled works. Most of the time, precision also means that the model is clear or that it has no ambiguities.</p> <p>This study mostly talks about: 1) a generalized treatment of fuzzy sets of type n, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 1, with an example, mathematical discussions, and real-life interpretations of the given mathematical concepts; 2) the potentials and links between fuzzy logic and probability logic that haven't been talked about in one document; and 3) the representation of random and fuzzy uncertainties and ambiguities that come up in data-driven systems.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Omalkhear Salem Blebalu Copyright (c) 2023 https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/329 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000 حصر ودراسة لبعض الأنواع النباتية الحولية داخل مدينة الزنتان https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/341 <p>أجريت هذه الدراسة خلال شهري فبراير ومارس سنة 2023 داخل مخطط مدينة الزنتان، حيث تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى معرفة وتصنيف النباتات الحولية وحصرها وخاصةً النباتات التي تلعب دورًا مهمًا في التوازن البيئي والأن تتعرض للنمو العمراني من بناء ورصف طرق ومسح أجزاء منها مما يؤدي إلى انقراضها واتلاف أجزاء منها. ثم حصر (56) نوعاً من النباتات الحولية النامية طبيعيًا تنتمي هذه الأنواع إلى (45) جنساً موزعة على (22) فصيلة، كما بينت النتائج أشكال الحياة لأنواع متواجدة بمنطقة الدراسة، حيث كان عدد النباتات فوق السطحية (3) بنسبة مئوية (5.3%) وعدد النباتات الأرضية (1) وبنسبة (1.8%) وعدد النباتات شبة الأرضية (10) أنواع وبنسبة (17.9%) بينما كان أكبر عدد هو النباتات الموسمية ( (Therophytes، حيث بلغت (35) نوعًا، وبنسبة مئوية بلغت ) 62.5%)، وبناءً على عدد الأنواع النباتية تم حصر أربع فصائل سائدة في منطقة الدراسة وهي الفصيلة النجمية (Asteraceae) الأكثر تواجدًا حيث بلغ عدد الأنواع التابعة لها (13) نوعًا وتليها الفصيلة الصليبية (Brassicaceae) متمثلة في (8) أنواع ثم الفصيلة النجيلية Poaceae)) التي تمثلها (6) أنواع من النباتات الحولية تليها الفصيلة البقولية (Faboidceae) التي تمثلها (5) أنواع، كما وجد أن النباتات المعمرة تمثيل(13نوع)، والنباتات الحولية تمثيل (43نوع)، وعند تحليل النمط الجغرافي لنباتات المنطقة وجد أن معظمها تتبع مناخ البحر المتوسط.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> د. عمر الطاهر عمر الهلاك Copyright (c) 2023 https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/341 Fri, 05 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000 On TNC-Rings https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/342 <p>This paper is a continuation of study rings relative to clean ring, where we study the concepts of 2-nil clean rings TN-Clear Ring (TNC-ring) of a noncommutative ring, which introduced by Chen and Sheibani.

Herein, artificial neural networks (ANNs) as novel predictive ML techniques were built to predict the optical band gap energy of undoped ZnO thin films. The proposed multilayer perceptron neural network methods include the scaled conjugate gradient (SCG) and the gradient descent (GD) with momentum and learning rate optimization coefficients.</p> <p>The two suggested techniques were trained, tested, and validated with empirical data sets, by selecting the temperature of the substrate and the precursor molarity of ZnO solution as input parameters as well as the band gap energy as a response parameter. Furthermore, the simulated findings of ANN models were compared to the multiple linear regression (MLR) model and then the fitness and accuracy of those models were evaluated by different statistical metrics including the root mean square error (RMSE), the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and regression coefficients. Based on the results, SCG-ANN and GD-ANN models show high prediction accuracy with RMSE of 0.055 and 0.064 for testing data, respectively, whilst MLR analysis showed poor prediction accuracy with RMSE of 0.080 and R<sup>2 </sup>of 0.063. Additionally, the simulated output of these proposed ANNs models is in good agreement with the empirical datasets, which indicates high performance of SCG-ANN and GD-ANN models than the MLR model</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Maryam Akhwater Copyright (c) 2023 https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/344 Sat, 06 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Development of a New Conjugate Gradient Algorithm for Solving an Unconstrained Nonlinear Optimization Problem https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/345 <p>This article develops a new conjugate gradient algorithm in a scaled conjugate gradient field. The proposal depends on the following algorithms: Quasi-Newton and classical conjugate gradient. Under certain assumptions, the developed algorithm satisfies the descent direction and global convergence property. Additionally, the hybrid scaled gradient algorithm is involved in the new direction. Compared to the classical algorithm, the numerical outcomes demonstrate the superiority of our algorithm in tackling unconstrained nonlinear optimization problems.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Suaad Madhat Abdullah Copyright (c) 2023 https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/345 Sat, 06 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Experimental Investigation of a Gasoline-Charged Heat Pipe Solar Water Heater https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/346 <p>An experimental investigation was conducted under actual weather conditions at Higher Institute for Sciences and Technology Altmimi in Libya located at 32.24°N latitude and 23.17°E longitude.</p> <p>The solar complex is designed, manufactured, and assembled with the effect of thermal pipes.

The Reghaya sub-basin is located in the High Atlas of Marrakech; it covers an area of 306 km2 and is considered one of the most important sub-basins of the Oued Tensift. Although the watershed is receiving rainfall and snowfall at high altitudes, the study basin is experiencing very frequent hydrological disturbances. In this sense, we have chosen to study the flows recorded by the Tahanaout hydrometric station, located downstream of the watershed, to extract the hydrological cycles (low and high water) using the determination of the monthly flow coefficient. The hydrometric study of the Oued Reghaya watershed, shows that the flows recorded by the station of Tahanaout have a significant temporal variation. Generally, low water periods are marked in the summer and autumn months, whereas high water periods are marked in the winter and spring months. This work shows that the hydrological regime of the Oued Reghaya watershed is rainy, which makes it vulnerable to events</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Choukri Bahija, Benchattou Abdelmoumen, Ourabit Souad, El Ghachi Mohamed Copyright (c) 2023 https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/347 Sat, 06 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Comparison Between Ultrasound Imaging and Mammogram Based on the Influence of Filter Materials on the Quality of Digital X Mammography https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/348 <p>Diagnosis of cancer with the regular mammogram may be unreliable in nevertheless many cases since this mammogram may be unable to detect early tumors in many mammary glands. Digital mammogram is a modern technique that attempts to increase the accuracy of tumor detection. It can also be added to the magnetic resonance imaging. The digital mammogram can depict tumors in the mammary glands, which involve injection of intravenous dye while the patient is photographed with a series of mammography images that shows the flow of dye over time. It is based on the principle that fast-growing tumor’s need to increase the supply of blood to support their growth. The formula accumulates in such regions, so the digital mammogram provides therefore, a method of imaging based on the distribution of dye in the breast tissue, but it is still a two-dimensional technique. Although breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be used as an additional method to digital mammography in patients with high density mammary glands or non- homogenous tissue with ultrasound waves or both, and preoperative screening for women with breast cancer, it looks like the routine use of breast magnetic resonance imaging is unnecessary.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Fathya Shabek Copyright (c) 2023 https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/348 Mon, 08 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000 A Review of the Possibility Integrating the Solar System into the Libyan Railway Transportation https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/353 <p>This study of the possibility of integrating clean energy into the Libyan railway transport system using the integration of photovoltaic cells provides the potential for electric power, whether in the development of transit trade or the production of renewable electric energy near the points of electricity consumption. In Libya, for example, by integrating photovoltaic cells at stations, up to 100% of the electricity demand at railway stations can be covered, and the surplus will support the public electricity grid. Political support (for buildings in integrated photovoltaic plants) BSIPV will contribute to the development of transit trade in Libya. This study suggests the exploitation of solar systems in the railway transport system and the distribution of renewable energy sources along the railway lines in Libya, which is a link between Africa and Europe.
