This failure manifested as vapor leaking through the spool's exterior surface fissures, which were evident. The hardness test, X-ray examination, microscopic inspection, visual inspection, and chemical analysis were the most crucial tests carried out to assess the metallurgical failure. The surface of the stainless-steel pipe had pitting erosion, as seen by the microscopic investigation photographs, the presence of this corrosion was confirmed after grinding and smoothing the surface of the sample There is a good explanation why the ingot got damaged. Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) was discovered throughout the interior structure of the stainless-steel pipe, as shown by an X-ray inspection. The presence of the fractures was also visible in the microscopic photographs. By comparing the results of the chemical analysis as well as the hardness test obtained in this research with international specifications, it was found that they conform to them, and this refutes what was stated in the reports of the Mellitah oil and gas complex that the type of corrosion that occurs in the superheated steam transmission pipe is corrosion resulting from thermal fatigue.</p> Abdulsalam Salama, Mohammed Al-Madani, Salah Gnefid, Emhemed Madi, Abdul-Hamid Ibrahim Copyright (c) 2024 https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/868 Thu, 04 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000 استخدام بعض الأعشاب الطبية كبديل أو داعمًا للدواء الطبي (الكورتيزون) لدى مرضى داء الربو: دراسة استكشافية https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/871 <p>داء الربو هو مرض مزمن شائع يتميز بضيق الشعب الهوائية وصعوبة في التنفس. يعتبر العلاج بالكورتيزون الركيزة الأساسية في إدارة هذا المرض، ولكن قد يكون له بعض الآثار الجانبية. في السنوات الأخيرة، زاد الاهتمام باستخدام الأعشاب الطبية كبديل أو مكمل للعلاج الدوائي التقليدي لداء الربو.</p> <p>تهدف هذه الدراسة الاستكشافية إلى تقييم استخدام بعض الأعشاب الطبية كبديل أو داعم للعلاج الدوائي بالكورتيزون لدى مرضى داء الربو.</p> <p>وتتأتى أهمية الدراسة في أن فهم استخدام الأعشاب الطبية بين مرضى الربو سيساعد على تطوير برامج وتوجيهات إرشادية للاستخدام الآمن والفعال لها كعلاج مكمل أو بديل للعلاج الدوائي.</p> <p>واستخدمت الدراسة المنهج الوصفي التحليلي، وتوزيع 60 استبياناً على المرضى المترددين لقسم الأطفال في مركز سبها الطبي بمدينة سبها، والمرضى المترددين لقسم الأطفال بعيادة السارة الطبية بمدينة براك الشاطئ، أي بواقع 30 استبياناً لكل منهما. ولمعالجة البيانات تم استخدام الرزمة الإحصائية للعلوم الاجتماعية SPSS.</p> <p>وخلصت النتائج إلى أن غالبية المرضى يستخدمون العلاج بموسعات الشعب الهوائية، ويأتي الكورتيزون والاوكسجين في المرتبة الثانية من حيث الاستخدام للعلاج، وأن نسبة كبيرة من المرضى يستخدمون العلاج بالأعشاب خاصة الزنجبيل والزعتر ويرون أنها ذات فعالية عالية في التخفيف من حدة النوبات، إلا أن القليل منهم قال بكفاية استخدامها لوحدها. وأظهر العلاج بمركبات الكورتيزون مضاعفات عديدة وخطيرة منه الإصابة بمرض السكري والانتفاخ والرعشة والتعب والعصبية وتأخر النمو، وكان هناك مستوى معرفة جيد بمخاطر مركبات الكورتيزون، كما أظهر التحليل الاحصائي وعياً عالياً بوقاية المريض من مهيجات الربو مثل عدم التدخين في حضور المريض والاهتمام بتهوية المنزل وتغيير أغطية الأسرة، وكان هناك حرص جيد على تناول الأدوية في مواعيدها، حيث أظهرت الدراسة أن الأطفال الأكبر سناً لديهم اهتماماً كبيراً بذلك.</p> هالة يوسف محمد, آمال محمد مادي, منال رمضان شعيب, أسماء محمد دنفور Copyright (c) 2024 https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/871 Wed, 10 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Demand and Supply Risk: Sustainability Manufacturing Industries of Turkey Based on Artificial Intelligence https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/873 <p>The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on improving the sustainability performance of supply chains in the manufacturing sectors of Turkey. The paper took a quantitative approach, with a sample size of 350 manufacturing entities. It combined both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Statistical tools were employed to analyse the data and identify patterns and linkages. The results highlighted the significant impact of AI in reducing supply chain risks, stressing its crucial role in managing demand. Moreover, the research emphasized that incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into company operations goes beyond only technological progress and instead becomes a crucial necessity for enhancing resilience and sustainability. The paper implies that firms can derive significant advantages by incorporating AI technology to effectively manage unpredictable demand, optimize inventories, and improve overall sustainability. Nevertheless, the study's focus on Turkey's manufacturing industries implies the necessity for more extensive research, including other sectors and areas. To summarize, AI has great potential to transform supply chain risk management, which might have a major impact on the future of manufacturing in Turkey and potentially worldwide.</p> Nouri Ali, Iman Namroud, Mohsen Ibrahim Copyright (c) 2024 https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/873 Sun, 14 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Emergency Response and Disaster Management Leveraging Drones for Rapid Assessment and Relief Operations https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/874 <p>In the face of escalating natural disasters and humanitarian crises, the efficacy and efficiency of emergency response and disaster management have become paramount. Traditional methods of assessment and relief operations often face constraints such as time, resources, and accessibility, thereby hindering timely interventions. In recent years, the integration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, has emerged as a promising solution to overcome these challenges. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the utilization of drones in emergency response and disaster management, focusing on their role in rapid assessment and relief operations. Through a review of existing literature, case studies, and technological advancements, the paper examines the benefits, challenges, and future prospects of drone deployment in disaster scenarios. It also discusses the ethical and regulatory considerations associated with drone usage and offers recommendations for optimizing their integration into emergency response frameworks. By highlighting the transformative potential of drones in enhancing situational awareness, expediting decision-making processes, and facilitating targeted relief efforts, this research underscores the critical importance of leveraging technological innovation to build resilient and adaptive disaster response systems.</p> Abdulsalam Eshtaiwi, Abdussalam Ali Ahmed Copyright (c) 2024 https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/874 Sun, 14 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Some Results Associated with Generalised Derivative Operator https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/875 <p>The theory of operators is an important subject in analytic function theory, geometric function theory and univalent function theory. It also is an important subject in applied sciences. It is still an active field of research and various types of problems, which can be solved by generalising operators. Recently, many researchers have shown great interests in the study of differential operators in the theory of univalent functions and various subclasses of analytic functions defined in the open unit disc.

In the banking sector globally, potassium bromates to their blends. This research aims to determine the degree of compliance with the prohibition fourteen years later and to evaluate the safety of bread by measuring residual potassium bromate with a fast and accurate technique (spectrophotometric technique), from various bakeries in Zawiya, Libya, twenty-nine distinct bread samples were chosen randomly. The reducing-oxidant reaction of bromate and promethazine in an acidic media is the basis for this technique. At 515 nm, the reddish-pink product that was formed had the highest absorption. According to the results, every bread sample that was examined contained potassium bromide. In the bread samples, the amount of bromated varied between 9 and 60 mg per kg. The French bread sample showed the lowest level, while the Fino bread sample showed the highest level. This investigation shows that all four varieties of bread samples have potassium bromate levels above WHO guidelines.</p> Abtisam S. Aljarmi, Najah Y. Baroud, Mabrouka M. Hamzah, Rania A.

In some developing countries, such as Libya, there is no management of industrial solid waste because local agencies (cleaning agencies) are limited only to cleaning Streets and residential waste transportation only. This may further exacerbate the problem of solid industrial waste accumulation around factory sites.</p> <p>As the remains of marble manufacturing waste are increasing, they may be useful if used as fine or coarse aggregate in cement mortar and concrete. Using marble waste can solve the problem of aggregate shortage, and on the other hand, the cost of building materials. The use of alternative components is now a source of global concern, so new sources must be researched and explored to produce building materials that achieve sustainability and are environmentally friendly.</p> <p>In this study, marble waste was used as an alternative to coarse aggregate in the design of regular concrete. Concrete mixtures containing marble waste were designed in proportions (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) and tests were conducted, including absorption and specific gravity tests. The volumetric weight of marble, slump and compressive strength to study its effect on concrete.</p> <p>As it was observed from the compressive strength test of concrete samples when replacing coarse aggregate with marble aggregate, no increase was observed when replacing 25%, but rather it decreases by (7.56%), while it begins to increase when replacing 50% at a rate of (15.39%), as well as in the modulus of elasticity at a rate of (8%). Then it gradually decreases to 75% and 100% replacement rates.</p> Abdel Nader Khalil Aldabar, Abdulmutaleb Mohamed Ahmidan Copyright (c) 2024 https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/884 Thu, 01 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Nicotine exposure and its role in delaying the formation of long bones during embryonic development https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/885 <p>The purpose of this study is to figure out the effects of nicotine on embryonic development. Various abnormalities in skeletal bone formation and general morphology, were assessed using domestic chick Galls Galls embryos. The fertilized eggs were sterilized with 70% ethanol and then nicotine solutions at concentrations of 0.1, and 0.5 mg/ml were injected in the eggs on day zero before being placed in an incubator set at a temperature between 37.5 and 38 C<sup>o</sup>. embryos were collected at specific developmental stage HH36 (Day 10). The examination of morphological changes in the embryos was conducted under a dissecting microscope, while defects in bone ossification were identified through the application of alizarin red stain. Consequently, this research will highlight that maternal exposure to nicotine during the early phases of embryonic development could potentially lead to a delay in bone ossification, resulting in reduced sizes of both long and flat bones.</p> Kawakeb A.

Chad faces challenges such as food and nutrition insecurity, low-income levels, and declining natural resources due to rapid population growth. Reforestation of degraded lands could help address these issues. Chad has committed to reforesting 500,000 ha of deforested land by 2026. Chad's forest and woodland seed value chains have underdeveloped markets and few private sector actors. The study found that physical dormancy is a known mechanism for Acacia species, but the flame treatment method is less well-known. Sand burial could break dormancy associated with physical and mechanical dormancy and hardseededness class 1 species. Washing cycles are effective for seeds with physical/abraded and combinational dormancy with treatment. The study provided the first validated protocols for germinating important dryland species with physical dormancy, which is mostly legumes with erect seeds with small projections. The use of specific methods for removing the hard seed coat is crucial in Savanna-Mosaic of Chad for seedling and nursery establishment. The optimal method depends on the tree species and should be used carefully during the rehabilitation phase of reserved forests in Southern Chad. The germination of forest tree seeds can be affected by physical dormancy, root trajectory, and early radicle desiccation. Opening the hard seed coat artificially can lead to high germination rates, but imposed dormancy should be removed carefully. Mechanical removal of the seed coat increased the germination percentage of E. guineensis, while immersion in hot water resulted in low germination.</p> Sabre Idriss Absakine, Beunon Tchimbi, Aziber Hamza Ousman Copyright (c) 2024 https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/886 Sat, 03 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000 تقييم خصائص الغطاء النباتي والتنوع الحيوي النباتي في منطقة حوض وادي السهل الغربي (هضبة البطنان - مارماريكا) شمال شرق ليبيا https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/887 <p>أُجريت هذه الدراسة في حوض وادي السهل الغربي شمال شرق ليبيا، على مساحة 54.75 كم²، لتقييم خصائص الغطاء النباتي والتنوع الحيوي النباتي. تم تقسيم المنطقة إلى ستة مواقع رئيسية، حيث تم دراسة 12 مربعاً بمساحة 25م² لكل مربع، وتم وضع علامات وأخذ إحداثيات المواقع للرجوع إليها وإعادة دراستها خلال فصل الخريف والربيع. أظهرت النتائج تدهور الغطاء النباتي وسيادة الأنواع المحبة للملوحة، مثل نبات الغذام <em>Arthrocnemum</em> <em>fruticosum</em> L. &nbsp;بقيمة أهمية RV11.12 والخروع&nbsp; <em>Ricinus</em> <em>communis</em> L بقيمة أهمية،RIV 9.45 &nbsp;بينما كانت الأنواع المستساغة مثل <em>الشيح</em><em>Artemisia</em> <em>herba</em>-<em>alba</em>-<em>asoo</em> Sojak والسويدة <em>Suaeda</em> <em>vera</em> Forks أقل سيادة للأنواع النباتية المستساغة &nbsp;&nbsp;&amp; <em>Suaeda</em> <em>vera</em> Forks بقيمة أهمية (3.59، 0.70 RIV) على التوالي. كما تبين أن المواقع الشمالية أغنى بالأنواع النباتية مقارنة بالجنوبية، مع وجود مساحات كبيرة خالية من الغطاء النباتي بسبب العوامل المناخية والجفاف والتعرية والنشاطات البشرية.</p> أسماء صلاح علي, محمد فرج عباس, ربح عثمان رحيل, يعقوب محمد البرعصي Copyright (c) 2024 https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/887 Sat, 03 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000 A Comparative Study of Gas Turbine Power Plant and Renewable Solar Energy and Regulatory Frameworks in Libya https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/888 <p>Energy systems in Libya present inherent characteristics like any energy systems in the third-world countries which meanly depend on classical generation systems of electricity such as fossil and gas.

The current study aimed to disclose the amount of lead in the colors used to paint ceramic dinnerware in the Libyan home. In this study, dissolved lead was estimated from pottery utensils manufactured locally in Libya and imported from Tunisia and China for comparison, using a 4% acetic acid solution by volume. Through the results of the analysis of lead released in the acid solution from 18 samples of ceramic vessels, the results showed that the concentrations of total lead released in locally manufactured ceramic vessels ranged between (0.204 - 1.968) μg/ml. These results came within the range of values allowed by the US Food and Drug Administration as well as the International Evaluation Organization. The concentration of dissolved lead in ceramic utensils imported from Tunisia and China ranged between (0.223 - 2.160) μg/ml and (0.0124 - 3.597) μg/ml, respectively. These values are higher than those allowed internationally, which must not exceed 2.2 parts per million. The amount of lead dissolved in these utensils is directly proportional to the increase in its concentration. In the paints used, in addition to increasing the colors that contain it, which are red, green, white, and pink. In general, the concentration of lead released from locally manufactured ceramic utensils is lower than ceramic utensils imported from Tunisia and China, which must not exceed internationally permissible limits.</p> Afaf A.

This study aimed to assess the effect of smoking on kidney and liver function tests in Libya. Thirty-one smoker residents in Gharyan, Libya, with an age range of 20–60 years, were recruited. the serum levels of creatinine, urea, ALP, AST, and ALT were measured. Values outside the reference intervals were recorded for all three enzymes (ALP, ALT, and AST) related to liver functions. In contrast, in the case of the kidney, values outside the reference interval were recorded for creatinine only, and no values outside the reference interval were recorded for urea. In conclusion, the smoking effect was greater on the liver of smokers than on the kidneys. Smokers should be aware that smoking is harmful to their health and it causes liver and kidney damage.</p> Sanaa Ramadan Aljali, Abdounasser Albasher Omar, Manal Khalifa Hasan, Rayan Albasheer Abu Salama, Alaa Dow Attahhar, Salma Abdularahman Hmeid, Eman Abdulfatah Aleisawie Copyright (c) 2024 https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/914 Fri, 06 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Preparation sodium salts of phenylalanine, glycine and alanine complexes by using K2PtCl6, Cu(NO3)2.3H2O, HgCl2 and ZnCl2 https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/915 <p>applications of complexes are very important in different sectors like the pharmaceutical industrial.

The present study aimed to develop cost-effective bioassays to study the effects of laundry soap containing linear alkyl benzene sulfonate on Shield Head Fish (Synodontis Schall) gills and liver primary cell culture. The primary cell culture was carried out following a method modified by Gaurav <em>et al.</em> [1] It was cultured in petri dishes containing omega-3 medium. The bioassays were carried out when the culture reached up to 100% confluence in 24 days by using four different concentrations of laundry soap (10 mg/ml, 5 mg/ml, 2.5 mg/ml, and 1.25 mg/ml) for 48 hours to observe changes in protein biomass and cellular metabolic activity. The results showed no significant difference in protein concentration between doses. These changes were in direct correlation with the dose value, but cell viability decreased with increased doses on gills and liver primary cells as determined by reducing the MTT reagent to formazan indicating a potential concern for the health of fish and aquatic invertebrates. The study suggests using Omega-3 as a growth medium for primary cell cultures and candle smoke to promote cell growth and as a source of carbon dioxide. There must be more research on purifying water and separating harmful substances from it and efforts must be made to create environmentally friendly soap from natural materials.</p> Muzn Tarig Khalid Abdurahim, Shima Elfadel Ahmed Hassan Copyright (c) 2024 https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/918 Mon, 09 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Evaluation of Hematological and Biochemical Alterations Induced by Non-selective Cyclooxygenase Inhibitors (Piroxicam) in Rabbits https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/919 <p>Piroxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug&nbsp;(NSAID) recommended for various medical conditions. Conversely, piroxicam's hemato-biochemical and hepato-renal-induced toxic effects have been reported. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the impact of piroxicam on some hematological and biochemical parameters in rabbits and examine the histological changes in the kidney and liver. Eighteen adult male New Zealand rabbits weighing (1800-2000 grams) were used in this study and randomly distributed into three groups (n=6). Group 1 is considered as a control. The second and third groups were intramuscularly treated for five consecutive days with concentrations (1, 2) mg/kg of piroxicam respectively. After 5 days blood samples were collected and used for hematological and biochemical analysis. Then, animals were sacrificed; their kidneys and livers were removed and processed for histological examination. High-dose piroxicam significantly (P ≤ 0.05) decreased red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and White blood cells compared to the control group. Additionally, Piroxicam high dose significantly (P ≤ 0.05) elevated the serum levels of AST, ALT, urea, creatinine, and uric acid, while decreased levels of triglycerides, and glucose significantly (P ≤ 0.05) compared to the control. Histopathological examination revealed a dose-dependent piroxicam-induced renal damage, including, cortical blood vessel dilatation, tubular necrosis, glomerular tuft swelling, and interstitial inflammation. Similar dose-dependent effects were observed in liver tissues exhibiting hydropic and ballooning hepatocyte degeneration. The present study demonstrated that piroxicam induced significant hematological, biochemical, and hepato-renal histological alterations in rabbits.</p> Warida El-Rwegi, Amer Elgerwi, Aisha Zaidi, Wafa Elmghirbi, Afaf El-Nass, Abubaker El-Mahmoudy Copyright (c) 2024 https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/919 Tue, 10 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among healthcare workers in Yafran general hospital https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/920 <p>Nasal carriage of MRSA among hospital personnel is a big problem in hospital environment. Accordingly, the main objective of current study was to determine the prevalence of MRSA among Health Care Workers (HCWs) in Yafran hospital.&nbsp; 108 HCWs samples of nasal swabs were collected, and cultured on Mannitol Salt Agar. The isolates were identified as <em>S. aureus</em> based on morphology. Besides, confirmatory tests were performed, including coagulase and catalase test. Finally, cefoxitin disc resistance was used to identify the MRSA strain. Antibiotic susceptibility testing of MRSA was performed according to the guidelines of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute<em>.</em></p> <p>The results showed that, out of the 108 HCWs, 37 (34%) carried MRSA. MRSA carriage rate was highest among Administration Department workers 30 % compared to other professions, followed by Emergency Department workers 21% , Obstetrics and Gynecology workers 19 %, Radiology, Laboratory and Internal&nbsp; Medicine Department workers was 8% ,5% and 5% respectively.

Within the framework of any waterflooding undertaking, the assessments of oil recovery are typically segmented into phases pre- and post-breakthrough. Notwithstanding, the capability to prognosticate waterflood efficiency until the point of abandonment is notably constrained. The primary objective of this investigation is to project the waterflood performance leading up to abandonment in the A-NC186 oil field under a specific water-injection scenario. Through the realization of these objectives, invaluable insights can be garnered to refine reservoir management practices and elevate the efficiency of oil recovery procedures. The outcomes delineate that after 5135 days, a WOR of 82 STB/STB is attained, necessitating the discontinuation of waterflood operations. Notably, a total of 64897 STB of oil was extracted until the breakthrough occurred. The investigation underscores the profound1842859 STB of water produced until the point of abandonment.</p> Muhend Milad, Rabiaa Omran, Najib Meftah Almukhtar Omar, Majed Enfis Copyright (c) 2024 https://aaasjournals.com/index.php/ajapas/article/view/931 Tue, 17 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000
