https://mail.journals.uokerbala.edu.iq/index.php/psijk/article/view/2198
<p>Low affinity energy thresholds were precisely tailored into the Zn3Se3 cluster's molecular geometry configurations. The structural and electronic characteristics of the Zn3Se3 composite were examined using the 6-113G (d, p) basis set for density functional theory calculations (DFT/B3LYP). Comprehensive vibrational mode frequencies were methodically examined using potential energy distribution as a basis for analysis. The energy band gap (Eg) for the Zn3Se3 structured was computed and plotted HOMO and LUMO, or high occupied and low unoccupied molecular orbitals, are frontier values. The result is the value of Eg (0.0383) eV. The molecular electrostatic potential as well as surface and contour diagram of Zn3S3 were determined, along with electronic properties of the stated structures. </p>Aula Mahdi Al Hindawi , Jihan Hameed Abdulameer , sharmeen Sahib

https://mail.journals.uokerbala.edu.iq/index.php/psijk/article/view/2390
<p>The grafted nanocopolymers were synthesized via an esterification process, where the first step was to generate a linear copolymer by reacting terephthalic acid with glycerol. Then, a certain amount of maleic anhydride was added to the resulting linear copolymer solution to obtain the grafted PTGM nanoparticles. The prepared nanopolymers were characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy, <sup>1</sup>H-NMR, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The average particle height was 8.3 nm and was exposed to three different temperatures (298, 308, and 318 K). Four different concentrations (1, 3, 5, and 7 ppm) of the nanocopolymers were examined and it was evident that they play a vital role in the adsorption process. The experimental results showed that the average surface area of this nanopolymer for adsorption of dye (methyl orange) decreased with increasing temperature, indicating that the process is endothermic. It was also observed that the highly efficient nanocopolymers were able to successfully remove (methyl orange) from aqueous solutions.</p>Ali F A. Al -Ameri, Khawla Ibrahim Abd, Bahaa K.

https://mail.journals.uokerbala.edu.iq/index.php/psijk/article/view/2353
<p>This study used Lie transformations to provide both numerical and analytical answers for the partial reaction-diffusion-adhesion equations for both time and space. If the balances allowed via the goal calculations permit the determination of Lie transformations, then we can reduce slight fractional variance calculations to normal variance calculations containing fractions. We suggest a different approach to find the numerical and analytical answers beginning from the numerical and analytical answers in the spatio-temporal fractal adhesion-diffusion-interaction model. Recent findings on the adhesion-diffusion interaction equation were obtained by the authors. Separate adhesion-diffusion reaction equations for partial temporal and spatial variables were presented.</p> <p>The excellent accuracy of the suggested approach makes it a useful instrument for solving a Wide category of fractional differential equation problems. The numerical results show its effectiveness and applicability.</p>Mohammed Hamza Mohammed

https://mail.journals.uokerbala.edu.iq/index.php/psijk/article/view/2592
<p>Ring theory is one of the branches of an abstract algebra. This field is the study of a mathematical system with two binary operations. In this branch, many articles have studied this algebraic structure and presented some new works. However, the concept of purity has been studied before more than 40 years ago, especially the relation between the pure ideal and some other ideals on the given ring. In this paper, we survey the important results that concern with pure ideals. Some different types of ideals have been discussed such as N-pure ideals, z-ideals, Π-pure ideals and strongly pure ideals. Moreover, some recent results based on the work of several researchers have been summarized. On the other hand, regarding these types of ideals, some questions have been presented. Furthermore, many important results about various types of rings which are based on the notion of pure ideals have been studied.</p>Mohammed Khalid Shahoodh, Omare Kareem Ali, Montaser I. Adwan

https://mail.journals.uokerbala.edu.iq/index.php/psijk/article/view/3001
<p>The fast improvements in Autonomous Vehicle (AV) systems have shown the necessity for effective image processing approaches to enable efficient decision-making. Current approaches generally fail to offer a balance between processing speed and precision, restricting their usefulness in AV scenarios. The work sets out to tackle these difficulties by applying advanced AI-driven methodologies, EfficientNet and MobileNet, to optimize picture analysis for AV systems. This research filled a breach by enhancing both the speed and accuracy of real-time image processing systems. Also, it contributed to scientific studies in this sector. According to the KITTI Vision Benchmark Suite and Berkeley DeepDrive datasets, the experimental quantitative research designs. Proposed models were trained and tested using these datasets. TensorFlow and Keras frameworks incorporated advanced convolutional neural network topologies with transfer learning algorithms. The models were released loose under varied driving circumstances to see how flexible and resilient they were. The statistical importance of performance parameters like accuracy, inference time, and F1-score was evaluated. The results reveal that EfficientNet can obtain an accuracy of 94.2% and an inference time of 18 ms/image, which is substantially better than the baseline. MobileNet was a plausible option, exhibiting amazing accuracy while being computationally efficient. This improvement was statistically significant, and qualitative assessments indicated that the models were powerful under bad conditions. The research advances real-time imaging analysis in AVs, pointing to the need for architectural adjustments and dataset diversity. As a result of this research, the field of AI-controlled image processing will advance and lead to creative developments in AV systems and their applications.</p>Rawshan Nuree Othman, Saadaldeen Rashid Ahmed
