The 27 analytic solutions for the nonlinear space–time fractional low-pass electrical transmission line model and the nonlinear space–time fractional Sharma-Tasso-Olver equation were obtained using the generalized Riccati equation mapping method and the Jumarie’s Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative. The kink and periodic wave behavior solutions were the many different behavior solutions that were available for these nonlinear evolution equations. We displayed the behavior graphs in three-dimensions, two-dimensions and contour. This study’s findings demonstrate that, in comparison to several other approaches, the generalized Riccati equation mapping technique provides a wider range of solutions to these equations, which shows the behavior of the solution as a wave in a variety of formats.

The synthesis of carbonyl compounds by oxidation of alcohols is an important research area. A Pt/C catalyst was prepared by wet impregnation technique followed by characterization using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy as well as surface area and pore size analysis. It was then employed as catalyst for benzyl alcohol oxidation. The progress of oxidation reaction was monitored using GC. The oxidation data was analyzed using the nonlinear regression method using Polymath 5.1 software to analyze reaction kinetics. The rate constant and order of reaction were calculated as 9.28 × 10−6 mol L g−1s−1and 0.447, respectively. The rate law for oxidation of benzyl alcohol was proposed as RBA=ksθBA0.442θO20.005.

Let A and B be two positive bounded linear operators acting on the complex Hilbert spaces H and K, respectively. In this paper, we study the (AB)-numerical range WAB(TS) of the tensor product TS for two bounded linear operators T and S on H and K, respectively. In the context of this work, we demonstrate that if either T is A-hyponormal or S is B-hyponormal, then WAB(TS)¯=coWA(T)¯WB(S)¯,where WA(T) and WB(S) denote the A-numerical range of T and the B-numerical range of S, respectively. Here, co() and the over-line denote the convex hull and the closure, respectively. Moreover, we provide some (AB)-numerical radius inequalities.

Extreme weather events and climate anomalies are increasing in both frequency and intensity due to climate change, posing greater risks to both human and natural systems. Analyzing hazards like hydrometeorological events is therefore crucial for managing these risks, particularly by utilizing long-term precipitation data spanning up to 100 years. This study aims to develop a method for reconstructing historical rainfall data for the 1900–2010 period in Indonesia, using the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) ERA-20C dataset. The primary methodology involves the retrospective use of the constructed analogues statistical downscaling (CA-SD) method. This approach employs ERA-20C's zonal (U) and meridional (V) wind parameters at 850 hPa, which are converted into scalar field variables as predictors for rainfall reconstruction. The results show that the reconstructed climatological mean is overestimated compared to Multi-Source Weighted-Ensemble Precipitation (MSWEP) data but underestimated compared to station observations. A more comprehensive evaluation, using several deterministic and probabilistic metrics at various rainfall thresholds, was conducted. The ensemble mean correlations improved with temporal aggregation. According to probabilistic metrics, the reliability of estimated 5 mm and 20 mm rainfall events was better than that of rain days (>0.5 mm), while the reliability for 50 mm and 100 mm events was lower. This study produced reconstructed rainfall data for the 1900–2010 period, which could be valuable for climatological and hydrological research. Specifically, the severe drought in Java between 1960 and 1970 can be examined in greater detail; this is important due to its potential reoccurrence in the future.

Three novel halo-pyridinol-based hydrazone derivatives were synthesized successfully for their virtual optoelectronic properties. These are (E)-2-((2-chloropyridin-3-yl)oxy)-N'-(4-fluorobenzylidene)acetohydrazide (CPFH), (E)-N'-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-2-((2-chloropyridin-3-yl)oxy)acetohydrazide (CCPH), and (E)-2-((2-chloropyridin-3-yl)oxy)-N'-(4-methylbenzylidene)acetohydrazide (CPMH). All these compounds have been extensively characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopic techniques. Additionally, their optoelectronic behavior was investigated using quantum chemical calculations with the ꞷB97XD/6–31+g(d,p) approach. Various properties of the synthesized compounds were explored using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, including NBO (natural bond orbital), NLO (non-linear optical properties), NPA (natural population analysis), and FMO (frontier molecular orbital) analyses. Furthermore, photophysical properties of these compounds were studied using a time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) approach at the ꞷB97xd/6–31+g(d,p) level. The DFT investigations showed that compound CPMH possesses higher stabilization energy than CCPH and CPFH.

The distribution of side friction in the elastic stage can be obtained according to the Mindlin solution and its related derivative methods. Nevertheless, owing to the limitations of these methods, they cannot predict side friction in the plastic stage. In order to accurately and reliably characterize the distribution of frictional stress along the anchorage section of the interface plastic deformation side, at present, side friction in the plastic stage is mainly predicted by establishing a nonlinear bond-slip model. However, the physical meaning of some parameters in the existing bond-slip model is ambiguous, and these parameters need to be obtained by fitting measured data from the pull-out test, which cannot be solved directly according to actual working conditions. Since the expansion of soil around the anchor in the plastic stage meets the associated flow law, a new prediction model of side friction distribution in the plastic stage is established in this paper based on the rule. Compared with the measured data of several groups of tests and prediction results of the Mindlin solution, it is found that the model proposed shows good accuracy and stability in predicting side friction in the plastic stage.

In this work, a complete Bayesian paradigm for the proposed three-parameter Weibull-based model is presented, and the Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm was used to enhance precision and expedite inference. Simulation studies were used to evaluate the appropriateness of the proposed Bayes estimators. In addition, maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) are also presented. We demonstrate that the MLEs for each parameter exist under certain conditions, with some being uniquely identifiable. Moreover, comprehensive reliability characteristics of the proposed model were derived and studied, such as the reliability function, failure rate function, mean residual life, and rth moments. We also investigated the identifiability of the proposed model’s parameters. Finally, two real datasets involving the failure times of some components were used to evaluate the performance of the proposed estimation methods and the model. The proposed model outperformed many existing models, ranking first in both dataset evaluations by consistently achieving more of the lowest values in the Akaike information criterion (AIC), Bayesian information criterion, corrected AIC, Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, Anderson–Darling test, and Cramér–von Mises test.

Clay minerals hold significant economic value due to their extensive industrial applications. This study aims to utilize land surface temperature (LST) data to distinguish and map clay quarries in southwest Al-Alamin City, Egypt, and understand the spectral characteristics of clay minerals using laboratory visible near-infrared (VNIR) spectral data. LST values are retrieved from the thermal infrared bands of Landsat series 5 and 8 data, acquired in August of 1985, 2010, and 2020. The spatial distribution of these values is mapped. The results reveal that LST values increased over time, reaching 37 °C in 1985, 43 °C in 2010, and 44 °C in 2020, primarily due to the exposure and quarrying of clay. Three clay minerals, montmorillonite, kaolinite, and illite, are identified through x-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. A broad absorption feature near 0.9 μm is recorded in the clay spectral profiles, attributed to the presence of iron, as indicated by x-ray fluorescence (XRF) data. For principal component analysis (PCA) mapping, a combination of PC1, PC2, and PC4 was used for the Deir El-Morair Quarry, while PC1, PC4, and PC5 were employed for the Deir Abuel-Hagif Quarry. The clay spectral profiles showed that band ratio (7/6) effectively discriminates clay from other rocks, while band ratios (5/6 and 5/7) differentiate between iron silicates and clay minerals. The present study successfully identified and mapped the clay quarries using LST, spectra, and XRF data, and the approach can be applied to identify possible clay areas anywhere.

This study aims to utilize land surface temperature (LST) data to distinguish and map clay quarries in southwest Al-Alamin City, Egypt, and understand the spectral characteristics of clay minerals using laboratory visible near-infrared (VNIR) spectral data. LST values are retrieved from the thermal infrared bands of Landsat series 5 and 8 data, acquired in August of 1985, 2010, and 2020. The spatial distribution of these values is mapped. The results reveal that LST values increased over time, reaching 37 °C in 1985, 43 °C in 2010, and 44 °C in 2020, primarily due to the exposure and quarrying of clay. Three clay minerals, montmorillonite, kaolinite, and illite, are identified through x-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. A broad absorption feature near 0.9 μm is recorded in the clay spectral profiles, attributed to the presence of iron, as indicated by x-ray fluorescence (XRF) data. For principal component analysis (PCA) mapping, a combination of PC1, PC2, and PC4 was used for the Deir El-Morair Quarry, while PC1, PC4, and PC5 were employed for the Deir Abuel-Hagif Quarry. The clay spectral profiles showed that band ratio (7/6) effectively discriminates clay from other rocks, while band ratios (5/6 and 5/7) differentiate between iron silicates and clay minerals. The present study successfully identified and mapped the clay quarries using LST, spectra, and XRF data, and the approach can be applied to identify possible clay areas anywhere.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17848,"journal":{"name":"Kuwait Journal of Science","volume":"52 2","pages":"Article 100371"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143166797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Jabal Akhdar goat, which represents 5% of the Omani goat population, inhabits the high-altitude regions of the Jabal Akhdar mountain range. This breed is renowned for its rapid growth, high twinning rate, and adaptability to extreme environmental conditions, including harsh temperatures. To investigate the genetic basis underlying its phenotypic traits, a genome-wide association study was conducted using SNP genotypes from 72 Jabal Akhdar female goats, obtained through the Illumina GoatSNP50 BeadChip. The study aimed to identify genetic associations with 14 distinct body size measurements: bicoastal diameter, rump width, cannon bone circumference, muzzle diameter, head girth, sternum height, rump height, head width, body depth, withers height, ear length, rump length, head length, and body length. From a total of 46,035 pruned SNPs, 51 were found to be significantly associated with various body measurements, excluding withers height, body length, head girth, and cannon bone circumference. A total of 90 candidate genes were identified within a 100 kb region of the significant SNPs, playing key roles in biological processes such as cell growth, early embryonic development, and muscle development. Some of these genes were involved in cell growth (ISM1), early brain development (ADK), and muscle development (ATP2A1). The findings of this study provide valuable insights for further research aimed at identifying causative variants and haplotypes linked to desirable traits in Jabal Akhdar goats. These discoveries could inform the development of genetically-driven breeding programs to conserve this indigenous breed and enhance its productivity.

The synthesis of poly(o-anisidine)/multi-walled carbon nanotubes composite (POA/MWCNTs NC) was carried out via chemical oxidative polymerization for the adsorptive removal of Direct Yellow 26 dye (DY 26). In the polymerization, the ammonium persulphate was used as an oxidant along with 4,4′-diaminodiphenylamine dimer as initiator. Then, the structural composition, crystalline properties, absorption behavior, morphology, and surface attributes of both the polymer and the nanocomposite were analyzed by different techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–visible spectroscopy (UV–visible), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis (BET). BET analysis showed significant improvement in the surface area (690 m2/g) and porosity (0.216 cm3/g) of the composite material as compared to pure POA. Further, the composite was applied for the elimination of DY 26 in aqueous media. Moreover, the adsorption parameters were also optimized like pH, contact time, adsorbent dose and dye concentration. The highest dye removal efficiency was achieved up to 83% against 50 mg/L concentration of dye solution under the conditions of pH at 2, contact time of 30 min, and 2 g amount of the adsorbent. Furthermore, the kinetic studies revealed that the adsorption of DY 26 followed the pseudo first-order rate constant by the polymeric adsorbent.
