Green synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) has gained attention as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional methods, reducing toxicity to the environment and living organisms. This study aims to synthesize a novel nanocomposite (Mag-Chi-Cur-AgNPs) composed of silver NPs (AgNPs) prepared using curcumin (Cur) as a reducing and stabilizing agent, along with chitosan (Chit) and magnetic iron oxide (Mag). Cur-AgNPs were synthesized by dissolving Cur in dimethyl sulfoxide and deionized water, followed by the controlled addition of AgNO3. The solution was stirred, pH-adjusted, ultrasonicated, and incubated. Chit-Cur-Ag nanocomposite was formed by dissolving nanochitosan in acetic acid, mixing it with Cur-AgNPs, then stirring, washing, centrifuging, and drying. Finally, Mag-Chit-Cur-AgNPs were obtained by coating Chit-Cur-AgNPs with magnetic iron oxide. Characterization techniques confirmed the formation of the nanocomposite. The ultraviolet-visible spectrum is used to track synthesis stages and successful formation. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is used to identify bond peaks, verifying molecular changes, in the field. Emission scanning electron microscope analysis measured the nanocomposite size, with particles below 100 nm. X-ray diffraction is used to determine the crystalline structure and dimensions of each component. Magnetic properties were analyzed using a vibrating sample magnetometer, demonstrating high magnetic saturation. This study successfully synthesized and characterized Mag-Chi-Cur-AgNPs using green chemistry. The results confirmed the formation and stability of the nanocomposite, showcasing its potential for future biomedical and technological applications

Community structures are fundamental in understanding the structure and functionality of complex networks. Different optimization algorithms, including both single-objective and multi-objective approaches, have been employed to address the challenge of community detection. Recently, multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) have attracted many researchers to identify communities in static networks. Many algorithms have been proposed to find a solution that achieves a trade-off between exploring new areas of the solution space and improving the quality of existing solutions. In this trade-off is crucial; whereas exploitation improves existing solutions, it may fail to find better solutions from insufficiently explored regions of the solution space. Therefore, mutation in evolutionary algorithms greatly impacts community detection within social networks. Conventional mutation methods usually tend to apply too much randomness, which results in convergence being less precise about finding a suitable optimum solution. This paper introduces a new mutation called community strength enhancement (CSE) to enhance the search efficiency of the Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm with Decomposition (MOEA/D) and speed up the convergence of the suggested algorithm. Moreover, the proposed algorithm overcomes the limitations of traditional MOEA/D by accurately and effectively identifying communities across a wide range of social networks. The enhanced algorithm was evaluated on two groups of datasets (twenty synthetic and four real-world) using normalized mutual information (NMI) and modularity (Q) across five baseline models. Integrating the CSE mutation strategy led to significant improvements in performance, particularly under high mixing parameters and in large-scale networks, as evidenced by increased NMI and modularity scores

Our work introduces the notion of -open set. This class of - open sets is not directly comparable to the categories of soft open, -closed. We demonstrate that the category of -open sets lies strictly between the class of -open sets and -open sets. Additionally, we investigate the connections that exist between -open sets along with other kinds of soft sets. Moreover, we provide several criteria that are sufficient for determining the equivalence between -open sets and every one of -open sets and -open sets. Also, according to our findings, the family of -open sets is a supra soft topology. Furthermore, we make it clear the correlation that exists between the respective categories of -open sets in a soft topological space and in its soft topological subspace. Finally, the class of -continuous function is introduced, it is main properties are studied and derive some of the properties of these soft functions under the soft composition of soft functions.

A time series is a sequence of observations recorded at regular intervals. Time series analysis has applications in diverse fields such as finance, stock prices, economics, environmental science, and social network data analysis. The recorded series is used to represent a measurable quantity or attribute, such as temperature readings, economic indicators, or other variables, depending on the context of the analysis. The idea of time series analysis is to identify patterns, trends, or underlying structures within the data, as well as to make predictions or forecasts about future values based on previous observations. Autoregressive (AR) models are widely used in modeling and forecasting data from time series. This work focuses on AR model parameter estimation, emphasizing the significance of the likelihood function by defining the marginal distribution of the AR process, which is getting by representing the AR process with random shocks and assuming the error terms in a time series have a normal distribution with a zero mean and variance . Some of the simulated experiments are designed to fit the model for different model orders and sample size to find model parameter estimation by likelihood function with marginal distribution. The results of Mean Squares Errors (MSE) and Mean Percentage Errors (MPE) indicate the significance and robust estimation of the AR –models parameters estimators that are computed theoretically.

When OCR systems are utilized to recognize mathematical expressions in scanned documents, they encounter numerous challenges. These challenges arise because the mathematical expressions use an extensive array of symbols, variables, numbers, and operations, each with its distinct writing style. Moreover, mathematical expressions have a hierarchical relationship and adhere to logical rules governing the grouping of their components. This paper presents a three-step approach segmentation, symbol recognition, and interpretation to overcome these issues. The segmentation process aims to identify and separate each symbol based on its spatial location. Then, various features are extracted to describe the horizontal and vertical projections of the symbol, enabling effective recognition. Two neural network-based classification methods were proposed for the recognition of the symbols. The first one achieved 96.6% recognition rates, while the second achieved 97.7%. Lastly, the paper introduces three guidelines for interpreting the mathematical meaning of the expression and accurately converting it into textual form. The study demonstrates the potential of these methods in enhancing the capabilities of OCR systems for recognizing mathematical expressions.

This paper presents the formulation and investigation for a stage-structured prey-predator system. We consider the stage- structure in both prey and predator populations, specifically dividing the population of prey into two distinct groups: immature prey and mature prey. We also divide the predator population into immature and mature groups. We assume that only immature predators are capable of attack, so they consume each immature and mature prey. Additionally, the rate of growth for immature prey based on the amount of mature prey, as immature prey does not have reproductive capability. We applied Holling Type I and Holling Type IV response functions to describe the consumption of immature and mature prey by immature predators, respectively. We conducted a mathematical analysis: boundedness of the solution, the presence of equilibrium points, and both local and global stability of the proposed system with respect to these equilibrium points. We also performed numerical simulations to verify the theoretical results
