The goal of this research is to use dental caries patients’ oral cavity-isolated Enterobacter aerogenes bacterial strains (S1, S2 and S3) to create silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in an environmentally friendly and cost-effective manner. In addition, the study explores the combination of antibiotics with Streptococcus mitis MDR, which was isolated from patients with dental caries to determine their antibacterial efficiency. Clinical bacterial strains identified from dental caries patients' mouths were all resistant to standard antibiotics. Antibiotics and AgNPs have a synergistic impact, which suggests that antibiotics will make up a larger portion of the diet. It was shown that erythromycin E had the greatest synergistic impact with AgNPs (0.1 mg/ml), but Streptomycin and Tetracycline had only 6 mm inhibitory zones when paired with AgNPs (0.1 mg/ml) in comparison. Antagonizing effects are meant by this. It was revealed that antibiotics such as penicillin P and cephalexin CN had distinct effects on patients. When used in combination with antibiotics, Enterobacter aerogenes AgNPs demonstrated excellent antibacterial efficacy on Streptococcus mitis isolates. As a result, AgNPs in the dental care area have a wide range of applications.

Inorganic polymer materials (Geopolymers) are synthesized using alumino-silicate sources as solid components with an alkaline solution. This material is used as an alternative for building materials and provides thermal protection as foaming materials. This paper presents the preparation of these materials by the reaction between glass waste (from brown color bottles BP) with sodium hydroxide NaOH and sodium aluminum (AN5) solutions as alkali activators. For the preparation of mortars (BP-N5 and BP-AN5), sand was used as aggregate. The compressive strengths were assessed (24 and 6 MPa) respectively before heat treatment, the hydrolytic stability (PH and conductivity) tests were performed. Furthermore, hardened mortars have been heated at very high temperatures in the range of 200℃ to 800℃ within two hours. Based on the nature of the foaming behavior of such materials, various variables have changed; (80-140) % volume increase and porosity rise through the process of heat treatment, particularly at 600℃ and 800℃. On the other hand, (3.5-7) % mass reduction occurred. It can be said that the more significant porosity with different geometrical configurations (sizes and shapes) of such materials can be considered as acoustic insulation and thermal materials.

In this paper, the amount of excess weight resulting from the design of a mathematical model composed of composite materials will be calculated and compared with a mathematical model of an armored steel structure. Five different models were designed, one of which is made of steel, the other part is made of composite materials, and a section of steel and composite materials, and then tested for resistance to stresses and compared the weight of each structure with that of the steel component by taking the maximum stress as a basic criterion for weight comparison. The results showed that the best model was the second model fiberglass, where the percentage of weight loss was compared to the steel model (73.77%), in addition to the wall thickness (62 mm) and the wall thickness of the steel model with which the comparison was (60 mm), but the displacement is (7. 24 mm), and in the steel model it is (1.827 mm). The best model compared to steel in terms of resistance to maximum stress, less displacement and less weight was the model consisting of steel with carbon fiber and its thickness was (47 layers& 57 mm, 2 layer & 10 mm steel and 45 layer & 45 mm carbon fiber), and the percentage of weight loss compared to the first mathematical model (60.96%). The results of this research may be a key to obtaining alternative materials for traditional materials in the manufacture of armored hulls, aircraft and ships, and it has a lower weight.

In order to improve the properties of unsaturated polyesters, this study discusses the possibilities of developing a natural waste, date palm leaf fiber DPLF, produced in the northern Algerian Sahara, associated with the polymer matrix of a thermosetting polyester resin UP. For this purpose, composite plates containing virgin fiber at rates of 6 and 10% were treated with an alkaline solution of 6% NaOH on the one hand, and a silane compound on the other. In this research, a mechanical study of strength and elongation at break was carried out. In addition, morphological behavior was followed by SEM scanning electron microscopy. ATG thermogravimetric analysis and energy flow were monitored by DSC differential scanning calorimetry. Also, a study of the water absorption capacity has been conducted. In addition, a dynamic mechanical analysis DMA was carried out. The findings of this study show that there is a favorable mechanical behavior for the composites containing the 6% and 10% DPLF fiber, with alkaline NaOH and Silane treatment. They also show that the chemical treatment with alkaline solution and silane gives composites certain thermal stability compared to those with untreated fiber. Findings also explore that the absorption of water by the various composites shows that the chemical treatment promotes some intermolecular associations with water. Findings also show that the storage modulus (E') increases when the composite contains 10% DPLF, treated and untreated, and the maximum value of the tangent moves towards the high temperature for the treated and untreated fiber composite.

Trioxides of rubidium, strontium, and ruthenium belong to the family of alkali and alkaline earth ruthenates. SrRuO3 crystallizes in various symmetry classes—orthorhombic, tetragonal, or cubic—whereas RbRuO3 is perovskite (cubic) structured and crystallizes only in the cubic space group Pm3¯¯¯m(No. 221). In this study, we investigated the structural stability as well as the electronic and magnetic properties of two cubic perovskites SrRuO3 and RbRuO3. We established the corresponding lattice parameters, magnetic moments, density of states (DOS), and band structures using ab‑initio density‑functional theory (DFT). Both compounds exhibited a metallic ferromagnetic ground state with lattice parameter values between 3.83 and 3.96 Å; RbRuO3 had magnetic moments between 0.29 and 0.34 µBwhereas SrRuO3 had magnetic moments between 1.33 and 1.66 µB. This study paves way for further RbRuO3 research.

In this research, three mathematical models were designed, the first consisting of concrete, the second from carbon fiber, and the third from s-glass fiber, in order to compare the strength of composite materials to different stresses and deformations, because composite materials are better than concrete in terms of weight and shape and do not need to be applied to painting operations in addition to the fact that their thermal insulation is higher than Concrete in high proportions. From the results of the comparison, it was found that the second model was the best model in terms of bearing deformations, as the deformation percentage in it did not exceed the deformation of concrete a lot, reaching (17%), which is a very small percentage, and the stresses towards pregnancy for the second and third models were much better than the bearing of the first model, but the results indicate that the Von Mises Stress in the second model is higher than the first model by a percentage (57%), while the comparison of the third model with the first was the rate of increase percentage (47%).

The current trend in scientific researches is to improve the performance of mechanical and physical properties of polymeric compounds, one of these methods is to add nanoparticles to polymeric composites. In this work, the wear behaviour (pin to disc) of nanocomposites composed of vinyl ester reinforced glass fibers and nanoparticles was evaluated under three different factors, such as specimen content, load applied, and distance sliding using a sliding time constant, as well as studying the hardness shore for these nanocomposites. The (hand-lay) method was used for the purpose of preparing the nanocomposites from vinyl ester filled with 10% vf. glass fiber and (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% vf. of nano-Fe3O4 and ZrO2). The results are tabulated and analysed using Taguchi experiments (L9) (Minitab 18) for the purpose of determining which of the factors under consideration had the greatest influence on the wear behaviour. From the results, it was found that the specimens (vinyl ester-10% vf. glass fibers-2% ZrO2) and (vinyl ester-10% vf. glass fibers-2% Fe3O4) give the best wear resistance 0.003×10-5, 0.012×10-5 mm3/Nm respectively under the factors (load 20 N, sliding distance 45 cm). It was found that the specimen content is the most important factor influencing the wear behaviour, followed by the factors of the applied load and then the sliding distance. The addition of nanoparticles (0.5-2% vf. ZrO2, Fe3O4) to the vinyl ester resin improved the hardness values. Furthermore, the findings show that the addition of nanoparticles (ZrO2, Fe3O4) had a positive effect on the (wear and hardness) tests, implying that the nanoparticles improved the bonding between the base material and reinforcing material.

The purpose of an automotive chassis is to maintain the shape of the vehicle and bear the various loads that are applied to the vehicle. The structure typically accounts for a large portion of the development and production costs of the new vehicle program, and the designer has many different structural concepts available. Choosing the best is important to ensure acceptable structural performance under other design constraints, such as cost, volume and method of production, product application, and more. The material selection for chassis depends upon various factors like lightness, economy, safety, recyclability, and circulation of life. The current study aims to perform optimization of the design of a heavy vehicle chassis using central composite design & optimal space fill design scheme (s) with the material tested is Al6092/SiC/17.5p MMC. Different design points are generated using design of experiments. The equivalent stress, deformation and mass are evaluated for each design points. The CAD modelling and FE simulation of heavy motor vehicle chassis is conducted using ANSYS software. From the optimization conducted on chassis design, response surface plots of equivalent stress, deformation and mass are generated which enabled to determine the range of dimensions for which these parameters are maximum or minimum. The use of Discontinuously Reinforced Aluminium-Matrix Composites Al6092/SiC/17.5p MMC aided to reduce weight of chassis by 66.25% and 66.68% by using CCD and Optimal space fill design scheme respectively, without much reduction in strength of chassis.

In the center and southwest of Morocco, there is an endemic tree «Argania Spinosa» known as the ironwood. The miraculous product of this millenary tree is argan oil. Known for its therapeutic and cosmetic properties. Only 20% of the fruit of the argan tree is intended for the manufacture of argan oil while the shell, which represents 80%, remains an unexploited resource. This hull, which is sold by farmers at low prices, is used as fuel for baths and Moorish bakeries. In order to value the shells; first, we sort, grind and sieve them. Second, we bind the particles into adhesive. Three biomaterials are based on three particle sizes of shell grains. The designed particles are bound with an adhesive powder that is produced from a pre-catalyzed urea-formaldehyde resin. Moreover, the water used is a non-polluting solvent. The biomaterials and two samples of Red and Beech Wood were immersed in water for 15 days, with mass measurements that were done on a daily basis. It was concluded that the swelling coefficient of the large distribution of biomaterial is smaller than the small distribution of biomaterial. However, Red and Beech Wood have the highest coefficient.
