On q-Horn Hypergeometric Functions H6 and H7

Research Abstract

This work aims to construct various properties for basic Horn functions H6 and H7 under conditions on the numerator and denominator parameters, such as several q-contiguous function relations, q-differential relations, and q-differential equations. Special cases of our main results are also demonstrated

On Lommel Matrix Polynomials

Research Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to introduce a new class of Lommel matrix polynomials with the help of hypergeometric matrix function within complex analysis. We derive several properties such as an entire function, order, type, matrix recurrence relations, differential equation and integral representations for Lommel matrix polynomials and discuss its various special cases. Finally, we establish an entire function, order, type, explicit representation and several properties of modified Lommel matrix polynomials. There are also several unique examples of our comprehensive results constructed.

Thermodynamic Studies on the Adsorption of Organophosphate Pesticides (Diazinon) onto ZnO/Polyethersulfone Nanocomposites

Research Abstract

This study reports experimental analyses of adsorption thermodynamics using the polymeric adsorbent surface, polyethersulfone (PES), with different molar ratios of ZnO nanoparticles. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) were performed to study the adsorbent structure and morphology. FTIR results showed that both PES and ZnO nanoparticles were successfully incorporated into the nanocomposite, while the XRD analysis showed that the crystal adsorbent characteristics did not change. FESEM of the ZnO exhibits the formation of aggregates in the form of small spherical grains, and the sizes were in the range of 45–65 nm. The effects of different parameters (contact time, pH, temperature, adsorbent dosage, and diazinon concentrations) were investigated to find the optimal conditions of the prepared adsorbents. The equilibrium data for diazinon adsorption onto PES and ZnO/PES were analyzed using the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Jovanovic, and Flory-Huggins models. Based on the values of the correlation coefficient, Langmuir and pseudo-second-order were found to be the best-fitting model. In addition, adsorption at different temperatures (288.15–303.15 K) was used to determine thermodynamic parameters such as free energy, enthalpy, and entropy changes. Finally, these results allow designing different processing units for pollution removal.

Seasonal and Temporal Influence on Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the Red Sea Coastal Water, Egypt

Research Abstract

This study investigated seasonal variation, spatial distribution, sources, composition and potential ecological risks of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Red Sea coastal water. Surface seawater samples were collected at fourteen different locations. The sum of 16 PAHs concentrations in Red Sea showed clear variation between seasons, ranged from 1.08–6.10, 0.79–50.86, 1.37–54.47 and 0.21–7.18 μg/L in summer, autumn, winter, and spring respectively. PAHs levels in Red Sea coastal waters were relatively high at certain sites during autumn and winter seasons. They could be classified as highly polluted by PAHs contaminants (>10 μg/L). According to the diagnostic ratios measured, the majority of PAHs in this study originated from pyrogenic sources, while minor amounts originated from petrogenic sources. Four rings PAHs accounted for more than 64% of the total PAHs studied. PAHs pose a high ecological risk along the period of study, according to the ecological risk assessment by Risk quotients (RQNCs and RQMPCs).
