Representation in Fréchet Spaces of Hyperbolic Theta and Integral Operator Bases for Polynomials

Research Abstract

In this study, we present a novel definition for hyperbolic Theta operator bases (HTOBs) and hyperbolic integral operator bases (HIOBs) within the context of complex calculus. We employ the constructed HTOBs and HIOBs on a specific base of polynomials (BPs) across diverse convergence regions within Fréchet spaces. Consequently, we explore the correlation between the approximation properties of the resulting base and the original one. Furthermore, we derive insights into the -property and the mode of increase of the polynomial bases as defined by HTOBs and HIOBs. The investigation extends to various bases of special polynomials, including Chebyshev, Bessel, Gontcharaff, Euler and Bernoulli, polynomials, ensuring the robustness and applicability of the obtained results.

Isolation and characterization of non-rhizobial bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi from legumes

Research Abstract

This study investigates non-rhizobial endophytic bacteria in the root nodules of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L), faba bean (Vicia faba), and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp), as well as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the rhizospheric soil of chickpea and faba bean. Out of the 34 endophytic bacterial populations examined, 31 strains were identified as non-rhizobial based on nodulation tests. All strains were assessed for their plant growth-promoting (PGP) activities in vitro. The results revealed that most isolates exhibited multiple PGP activities, such as nitrogen fixation, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and ammonia (NH3) production, phosphate solubilization, and exopolysaccharide production. The most effective PGP bacteria were selected for 16S rRNA analysis

Acidogenic gas utilization improves methane production in high-load digestion: Underlying mechanisms

Research Abstract

High-load reactors face a significant challenge with fatty acid accumulation. Although injecting acidogenic gas (H2 and CO2) into methanogenic reactors improves biogas production, its mechanisms and stability enhancement remain unclear. Therefore, this study investigated the potential of using acidogenic gas to enhance methane production and system stability in a high substrate-loading co-digestion system with decreasing hydraulic retention time (HRT) and its regulatory role by considering biological pathways. Acidogenic gas injection effectively managed volatile fatty acid accumulation, with a concomitant increase in methane production from 0.042 to 0.066 L/L h as HRT decreased (16–8 days). However, the methane yield decreased from 611 to 460 mL/g volatile solids. Microbial community analysis revealed an increased abundance of hydrogenotrophic methanogens, along with several acidogenic and syntrophic fatty acid oxidizing consortia with decreasing HRT. The HRT10.67 sample exhibited the highest microbial species diversity and richness in the methanogenic reactor. Metabolomics analysis showed acidogenic gas reduced energy synthesis related to the tri-carboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation while profoundly regulating the metabolism of amino acids, lipids, fatty acids, membrane transporters and inhibitory substances, thereby strengthening methane metabolism pathways. This study provides valuable insights into the roles of acidogenic gas in regulating energy metabolism to enhance methane production and offers potential opportunities for improving lipid and protein degradation.

Effects of organic loading rate on hydrogen and methane production in a novel two-stage reactor system: performance, enzyme activity and microbial structure

Research Abstract

Two-stage anaerobic digestion (AD) system is an efficient technology; however, organic loading rate (OLR), a critical design and process parameter, influences the performance and capacity of digesters. This study investigates the impact of various OLRs on biogas production during co-digestion of food waste, chicken manure and corn straw in an innovatively designed two-stage reactor system, including variations in the enzyme and electron transfer system (ETS) activities and microbial community. The production of hydrogen and methane increased gradually with increasing OLR, with maximum production at 8 g VS/L d (690 mLH2/L d and 690 mLCH4/L d), which is 30–97 % higher than OLR of 1.5 to 6 g VS/L d. However, the maximum methane yield of 535 mL/g VSadded was attained at OLR of 4 g VS/L d consistent with the highest coenzyme F420 activity. Although no substantial ETS activity was seen during the acidogenic stage, the ETS activity decreased with increasing OLR in the methanogenesis stage, indicating that high substrate loading results in low syntrophic methanogenesis. Microbial analysis revealed a more diverse enrichment of acidogens and acetogens at high OLR with a wider range of substrate consumption, resulting in balanced acetoclastic and hydrogenotrophic methanogens (Methanosarcina and Methanothermobacter) in the biomethane process. These findings suggest the strengthening of syntrophic methanogenesis in high substrate-loading AD systems.

Nematicidal Potentiality of Four Marine Molluscans' Defensive Secretions From the Red Sea Against Syphacia obvelata (Nematoda: Oxyuridae) In Vitro

Research Abstract

The continuous requirement to substitute safe and affordable alternatives for helminth medications, as well as address the resistance of some used drug classes, introduced bioactive products derived from marine animals into the field of competition; however, almost all the previous research only focused on their impact on bacterial and protozoal infection. In the present work, we investigated the potential in vitro nematocidal effect of the aqueous extract of defense secretions for four species of marine mollusks: two cephalopods, namely the cuttlefish Sepia pharaonis and the common Octopus Octopus vulagris and two gastropods, the sea hare Aplysia argus and the sea slug Berthillina citrina, against the adult murine pinworm Syphacia obvelata. Data showed dose and time efficacy in all examined extracts. The sea slug's skin acid secretion has the highest impact, causing death in the cultivated worms, followed by the ink of the sea hare, the common octopus and the cuttlefish, where LC90 after 10 h of exposure were 250, 290, 316, and 391 µg/mL, respectively. Comparatively with the control and albendazole‐treated groups, the skin acid secretion of the sea slug caused the highest levels of the antioxidant enzymes SOD, Cat and GSH‐PX; however, albendazole prompted the highest level of GSH‐PX enzyme in all experimental groups.

Endophytic fungus Neopestalotiopsis clavispora AUMC15969: biosynthesis and characterization of exopolysaccharides and biodiesel productio

Research Abstract

Exopolysaccharides (EPS) are bioactive metabolites with high molecular weight and are produced by several microorganisms such as endophytic fungi. Thus, the aim of the present study was designed to explore the biosynthesis and characteristics of EPS by the endophytic fungus Neopestalotiopsis clavispora AUMC15969 and then investigate some environmental and nutritional factors that afect their production. Moreover, we estimated an additional value, namely the production of biodiesel. Maximum production of EPS was 7.86 g/L when N. clavispora was grown on lactose as the sole carbon source and peptone as the nitrogen source, respectively, and pH 7 at 35 °Cfor 10 days. The produced EPS had a total sugar content of 0.93 g/g where protein content was 0.076 g/g. It revealed a strong antioxidant activity that improved with increasing sample concentration, with the optimum concentration of 10 mg/mL producing 83.1% DPPH radical scavenging activity with an IC50 equal to 3.89 mg/mL. The extracted lipid from the fungal mycelia at the end of the fermentation process was 31.76% w/w. The biodiesel produced from the transesterifcation of lipids was 87.4% total fatty acid methyl esters. The present study demonstrated the potential production of EPS and lipid biopolymers in one-pot fermentation which could use as a resource for industrial technologies.

A novel structure of q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets in ring theory

Research Abstract

The q-rung orthopair fuzzy atmosphere is an innovative approach for handling unclear circumstances in a range of decision making problems. As compare to intuitionistic fuzzy sets, this one is more appropriate and adaptable because it evaluates the significance of ring theory while retaining the features of q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets. In this study, we characterize q-rung orthopair fuzzy subring as a modification of the pythagorean fuzzy subring. We introduce the novel idea of q-rung orthopair fuzzy subring and investigate the algebraic characteristics for the q-rung orthopair fuzzy subrings. Furthermore, we establish the concept of q-rung orthopair fuzzy quotient ring and q-rung orthopair fuzzy left and right ideals. Also, we describe the q-rung orthopair fuzzy level subring and associate axioms. Finally, we investigate how ring homomorphism influences the q-rung orthopair fuzzy subring and investigate there pre-images homomorphism on q-ROFSR and different aspects of images.

Textual Characters Detection in Complex Scene Images based on Bradley Thresholding Technique in Compare with Statistical Thresholding Technique

Research Abstract

Thresholding is an important process required to most tasks in computer vision especially characters’ detection from scene images. So, in this paper, we focus to enhance our previous model which is used to detect the characters from scene images and has proven superior to most existing methods. This improvement is fulfilled by replacing the thresholding method in the entire model in the stage of converting the grayscale image into the binary one. The new thresholding method is known by Bradley method. Although our previous model got better when we use Bradley thresholding, the number of false detections still less than in the case of using our previous thresholding method in the entire designed model
