Investigations of genitourinary candida infections of patients women attending gynecology clinic at sirte clinics complex, Sirte city, Libya
type: item
description: Candidiasis is an opportunistic fungal infection that occurs due to yeasts of the genus Candida, which infects target immobilized individuals with a diminished immune system. It causes infections in the urinary and reproductive systems and is known to be responsible for genital and urinary infections worldwide. Candida albicans and Candida glabrata are most often responsible for the disease, and both can lead to vaginal candidiasis, including during pregnancy. Candida urinary tract infection has been on the rise in recent times, particularly among the hospitalised patients. Often, those people who undergo catheterization suffer from candiduria. In case the vaginal candidiasis is left untreated, then severe complications such as placental inflammation, pelvic inflammatory diseases, and even miscarriage may occur. Aim of study: This study aims to estimate the incidence of genitourinary fungal candidiasis among patients women attending Gynecology clinic at sirte Clinics Complex and identify potential risk factors associated with this condition. Materials and Methods: Sirte, Libya was the local setting of the study which was carried out between May and July 2023.Midstream urine sample was obtained from 100 patients women attending the gynecological clinic. Socio-demographic and clinical information was gathered by means of specially developed questionnaires in a standardised form. Laboratory investigations to diagnose fungal infections in urine involve the use of centrifuges to separate and deposit samples and their components. Sediment is then collected and examined under a microscope to identify fungal cells as well as using gram stain techniques. Specifically, SPSS analytic software was used, and chi-square tests where appropriate. Results: Among 100 samples, 91% tested positive for candida infection, with the highest rates in women aged ≤24 (42.85%) and 25–34 (28.57%). Diabetes showed a significant correlation with candidiasis (83.51%, p = 0.03), and unmarried women…

Determination of Heavy Metals content in Soil from Medical Waste Landfills and the Creation of Cement Capsules to Mitigate Pollution
type: item
description: The objective of this study is to extract specific heavy metals (Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Cr²⁺) from landfill soil and to ascertain their concentrations. Furthermore, the research involves the development of cement capsules designed to contain medical waste and to mitigate the leaching of heavy metals into the surrounding environment. The findings indicate that the concentrations of these four heavy metals in the soil remained unchanged following the implementation of the capsules for medical waste storage. This outcome suggests that the capsules are effective in containing medical waste and preventing the leaching of heavy metals into adjacent soil. This study contributes valuable awareness into the controlling of medical waste within public and private health facilities. The recent proliferation of clinics, health centers, and medical laboratories has significantly increased activities in this sector. Such expansion generates various toxic and organic wastes, which pose potential risks to the environment.

Relationship between the students’ spatial visualisation abilities and their performance of deducing 2D-Orthographic drawing
type: item
description: Many researches indicated that students’ spatial ability influences their academic performance in engineering drawing and design. Significantly, a major limitation of traditional instruction is the problem of presenting three-dimensional spatial information in a two-dimensional format. Yet, there is no evidence base of how spatial ability influence the Eng-drawing learners’ practice performance. This paper investigated the effects of the spatial ability level on novice Eng-drawing learners’ practice performance in terms of shorting the learning time and increasing the drawing accuracy or not. 32 students from architecture department at the Sirte university were assigned equally into two groups regarding to their SA scores (high vs. low) to undertake specific Eng-drawing learning tasks of deducing the orthographic projection from an isometric model. The time taken and drawing accuracy were recorded. The results indicated that SA significantly related to drawing accuracy, but had little effect on learning time.

Utilizing Artificial Neural Networks for Wind Speed Estimation A Case Study of Dernah City, Libya
type: item
description: Electric power is universally acknowledged as a crucial factor in enhancing living standards. As a result, safe electrical energy consumption is crucial to efficient national energy management. To do this, meticulous assessments of the electricity demand are required. Finding viable sites for turbine placement through feasibility studies and measuring local wind speeds are essential steps before establishing the plant wind power. Estimation of wind speed and simulations can be used to conduct these evaluations.. This study uses an artificial neural network (ANN) with the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) learning algorithm to estimate wind speed for the Libyan city of Dernah. One-year data from the Libya Meteorology Center has been utilized to train, test, and validate the ANN to to predict hourly wind speed . The structure of the ANN was evaluated with neuron counts of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50, allowing us to determine the optimal number of neurons for accurate predictions. The estimation analysis was performed using results obtained from the Levenberg-Marquardt method (LMA), along with the mean square error (MSE) and the coefficient of determination (R²). The results show that the Levenberg-Marquardt method with 10 neurons performs the best, with values of 0.99661 for R2 and 0.000250 for MSE. These findings confirm that wind speeds can be calculated within reasonable bounds since they show that the estimates of wind speeds based on the scant meteorological data available nearly match the measured values.

A molecular modeling investigation using DFT studies to examine the interaction between a melanin pigment and a Buckwheat
type: item
description: This study presents a summary of the use of buckwheat with its melanin pigment composition in human skin. The internal energy of buckwheat, as determined by the density functional function of molecular studies using the Goussian 09 and Hyperchem 08 programs, exhibited a value that was found to be nearly identical to that of melanin, which was found to be (-1109 Hartree, -1101 Hartree), respectively. To corroborate these findings, the molar number of buckwheat was incorporated in a ratio of 1:2, resulting in a notable reduction in polar moment by 1.759730 Debye. This was accompanied by an increase in stability and a decrease in polar moment, which in turn led to a reduction in activity and a limitation of the effect of UV radiation on melanin pigment.

Spatial Analysis of Soil Chemical Properties (pH, EC, and CaCO₃%) Using the IDW Method at the Field Scale in Libyan Soil
type: item
description: Soil chemical properties such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and calcium carbonate content (CaCO₃%) are important indicators of soil health and fertility, impacting nutrient availability and crop productivity. Accurate mapping of these properties is especially important in arid and semiarid regions, such as Libya, where soil salinity and alkalinity present challenges to agricultural practices. This study assesses the effectiveness of the Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) method which is a type of spatial interpolation that estimates values at unsampled locations by weighting nearby sampled points based on their distance from the point being estimated. In IDW, closer points have a greater influence on the estimated value, while more distant points contribute less. IDW method is used for interpolating spatial distributions of soil pH, EC, and CaCO₃% in a 13,000 square meter area at the Faculty of Agriculture Farm, University of Tripoli, Libya. Using a total of 71 soil samples collected from a depth of 0–30 cm, the spatial variability of these properties through IDW was assessed, a method that estimates values at unsampled locations based on the weighted influence of nearby sampled points. The accuracy of IDW interpolations was evaluated through cross-validation, revealing that IDW provided reliable results for CaCO₃%, with R² values ranging from 63% to 75%. In contrast, the method demonstrated moderate effectiveness for pH (R² values between 41% and 50%) and lower accuracy for EC, with R² values as low as 6%. This suggests that soil pH and EC exhibit varying levels of spatial homogeneity, affecting the interpolation accuracy. Alternative methods like Kriging may be more appropriate for EC due to their capacity to account for spatial autocorrelation, a key factor in environmental variables such as soil properties. The findings underscore the importance of selecting appropriate interpolation techniques based on the specific characteristics of soil properties and th…

Constructing the Fractional Flow Curve for the Masrab Oilfield Using Production Data: A Case Study in Libya
type: item
description: This study focuses on evaluating the flow performance of oil and water in the Masrab oilfield, Libya, using production data. The main goal is to apply the production data method to calculate fractional flow curves, which are essential for optimizing production strategies in mature oilfield. The analysis was conducted using Excel software, which facilitated efficient calculations and plotting of the fractional flow curves. The results reveal that the field is oil-wet, a condition that has a direct impact on oil recovery efficiency. Oil wet reservoirs tend to have lower recovery rates, as water does not easily displace oil from the rock surfaces, leading to challenges in maximizing oil extraction. The production data method used in this study proved to be more accurate and practical for field applications compared to traditional methods like the Buckley-Leverett approach. Furthermore, this approach was shown to be more cost-effective and time-efficient, particularly in environments where core sampling or extensive fluid property data is difficult to obtain. The study highlights the importance of using real-time production data to assess reservoir performance, especially in challenging conditions where conventional methods may not be feasible. Based on the results, it is recommended that the production data approach be preferred in oil-wet reservoirs like Masrab, as it offers significant advantages in terms of improving oil recovery and optimizing field operations. This approach provides a more practical and accessible solution for enhancing reservoir management and increasing long-term production efficiency.

Superabsorbent Polymer (SAP) Dehydration by Petroleum Fluids
type: item
description: Water production increases and oil sweep efficiency decreases as a reservoir matures. This water production can be produced from an injection or/and production wells. Water production can be the reason of decreasing and/or increasing oil production on the well operation cost. In the oil industry a lot of oil companies are using Superabsorbent Polymers (SAP) to improve oil production and decrease water production. When SAP mixed with water, it can absorb more than one hundred times their orginal weight. This research was accompanied to study SAP dehydration effect on oil production wells. This work used LiquiBlock’s AT-03S with a mesh of 35-60 (250-500 microns), and LiquiBlock’s 2G-110 with a mesh of 60-120 (125-250 microns). The selected polymers were formed using different particle sizes and brine concentrations. To create a brine of particular salinity, different brine concentrations were prepared by mixing deionized (DI) water with Calcium Chloride, Sodium Chloride, and a mixture of both Sodium Chloride and Calcium Chloride. Venous oil samples used for this work (Black oil, medium oil, and mineral oil). Oil was added to the solution after allowing the polymers to fully swell in brine, which was then agitated and allowed to settle. This research also investigated the effects of temperature on SAP swollen and dehydration. In conclusion, oil dehydration affected the swelling ratio of the polymer. The results of this work can help to select the best polymer which can be used for water shut-off treatment and improve oil recovery on mature reservoirs.

Estimation Of Water Saturation Use Well Logs Technique In X Oil Wells, By TECH-LOG 2015 Software
type: item
description: The aim of this study is to analyze water levels in the X oil field in Libya, with a particular focus on reducing unwanted water production and enhancing oil recovery. Petrophysical data extracted from well logs, including Gamma Ray, Spontaneous Potential, Sonic, Bulk Density, and Deep Induction Resistivity, were used to analyze two selected wells. The analysis concentrated on determining the average depths of water occurrence zones and evaluating their corresponding water saturation levels. The results of the analysis indicate the presence of water at approximately 8830 feet, with water saturation levels varying between wells, ranging from 0.14% to 0.94%. The interpretation of the log readings, using the cross-plot method for each well, was performed using Schlumberger Tech-log 2015 software. The shale volume was determined based on the gamma ray log and the results showed that the Shale volume in the Wells formation ranges from about 17% to 40 % and this value increases toward the top of the formation. By identifying these depths and water entry zones, the study provides insights into water control techniques that can be implemented to improve well productivity and extend the productive life of wells.

Modeling of Liquid Film Behavior in Serpentine Pipe Geometry
type: item
description: This study investigates the behavior of liquid film thickness along a flow system under varying gas and liquid velocities. The collected data from film probes positioned at various locations of the test facility, were matched with different experimental works using the available models. It was obviously observed that the majority of published correlations didn’t present good accuracy for the data of this study, where the pipe diameter is relatively large (i.d.=101.6 mm). However, these models gave better predictions for the data of small-sized pipes (i.d. ≤ 50 mm). Due to this reason, it was necessary to modify some of the published models in order to be fit for all pipe diameters. The modified models were applied for the experimental data of the current study and for those available in a literature which presented accurate results for estimation of liquid film characteristics.

Spectroscopic Study of Hydrazone-based Ligands as Calorimetric Reagents for Acetate Anion
type: item
description: This study focuses on investigating the chromogenic properties of hydrazone compounds derived from the reaction of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNPH) with salicyaldehyde and 2-hydroxyacetophenone for anion recognition. Two chromogenic ligands, 2-[[2-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydrazone]methyl]phenol (L1) and 1-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-ethanone-(2,4-dinitro-phenylhydrazone) (L2), were synthesized and characterized using IR and NMR spectroscopy. The complexation abilities of these ligands towards various anions (acetate, chloride, carbonate, nitrate, fluoride, iodide, sulphite) were investigated using UV-Vis spectroscopy. Both ligands showed higher selectivity towards the acetate anion in DMSO compared to the other anions. The complexes exhibited maximum absorptions (λmax) at 502 nm and 499 nm for L1 and L2, respectively. The Job plot results showed a 1:1 stoichiometry between the ligands and the acetate anion. The stability constants for both complexes were found to be 3.77×10-8 and 9.0 ×10-8, respectively. No significant interference from other anions on the complexes was observed.

Assessment of Common Oil Viscosity Correlations for Libyan Crude Oils
type: item
description: Reservoir oil viscosity plays a key role in the design and optimization of injection/production strategies and surface facilities for efficient reservoir management. The direct measurement method to determine the viscosity of the reservoir fluid involves reservoir fluid sampling, which is costly and frequently unavailable. In the absence of experimentally measured properties of crude oils, the petroleum engineer must determine the properties from empirically derived correlations. The main aim of this paper is to test several well-known viscosity correlations against a new dataset collected from different Libyan crudes. Statistical analyses and graphical methods have been used simultaneously to evaluate the performance and accuracy of each correlation. For dead oil viscosities, none of the available correlations yielded satisfactory results and exhibited high errors; however, the Ng and Egbogah (1983) and Beggs-Robinson (1975) correlations have the lower errors with AAPE% of 31.18 and 33.66, respectively. For live oil viscosities, the Beggs-Robinson correlation (1975) proved to be more accurate than the others, with AAPE% of 20.17 and 24.96, respectively. Labedi (1982) and Khan et al. (1987) for undersaturated oil viscosity are the most reliable correlation equations among published correlations, with AAPE% of 3.01 and 3.60, respectively.

Sealer adaptation in the dentinal tubules: a scanning electron microscopic study
type: item
description: Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the adaptability of 3 different endodontic sealers to the root canal wall using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Methods: Thirty extracted human single-rooted teeth were randomly classified into three equal main groups according to the type of sealer used: Tech Biosealer Endo, Flavonoid-based experimental sealer and MTA-Fillapex sealer. All root canals in this study were obturated with gutta-percha using lateral condensation technique after preparing mix from each tested sealer. The samples were examined under SEM to determine two main aspects: Gap and Interface. Results: The result indicated that Tech Biosealer Endo had shown the best adaptation to canal walls at all root levels, followed by the MTA-Fillapex, and the most diminutive adaptation was seen in the Flavonoid-based experimental sealer. SEM showed the best adaptation for all tested sealers to root dentin was at the middle root level, followed by the apical root level, while the coronal root level showed the worst adaptation (p<.05). Conclusions: SEM analysis indicated that among the tested sealers, Tech Biosealer Endo achieved the best overall adaptability to root dentin, particularly at the middle root level. This suggests that sealer composition significantly influences the quality of the interface between the sealer and root canal walls, impacting the potential for successful endodontic treatment outcomes.

Influence of E-Glass Fiber on the Properties of Fresh &Hardened Concrete
type: item
description: Concrete is a composite material consist of aggregate (gravel and sand), cement and water. This material reigns supreme in the construction industry, captivating builders with its exceptional compressive strength, unwavering durability, and boundless versatility. Plain concrete has a very low tensile strength, limited ductility and little resistance to cracking. To enhance mechanical properties of concrete (compressive strength, tensile strength usually added fibers to it. Researchers are cheering the addition of fibers to various materials. This research discusses the effects of E- glass fibers on the mechanical properties and workability of concrete. Experimental programmer consists of conducting compressive strength test, flexural strength test and split tensile strength and workability of concrete containing varying proportions of E-glass fiber. In our research we used the E-Glass fibers at different percentages as 0%.0.2%,0.4%.0.6% by the volume of fracture on C30 grade of mix proportion (1: 3: 1.8) with water cement ratio 0.56. From the results of experiments turns out that the Adding 0.2% glass fibers to concrete significantly improves its flexural strength (11.7%) and slightly boosts compressive (4.4%) and splitting tensile (6.16%) strength at 28 days. GFRC specimens also exhibit more resilient behavior under testing compared to plain concrete. However, workability declines with increasing fiber content

Oxidative Stress in Brain Induced by Artificial Sweetener (Saccharin) and the Possible Influence of the Coenzyme Q 10 in Male Rats.
type: item
description: : Food additives draw in customers, enhance food quality, help people lose weight, and substitute sugar in food—all while having a potentially harmful impact on the health of both adults and children. Aim: To look into the negative effects of saccharin (Sac) on oxidative stress in brain tissue and determine the protective effects of CoQ10 on brain tissue. Methods: Six groups of ten rats each were created out of the sixty rats. 1st control group, 2nd treated with 20 mg/kg of CoQ10 b.wt. 3rd treated with Sac 1/10 LD50, 4th treated with Sac 1/20 LD50, 5th treated with Sac 1/10 LD50 plus CoQ10 and 6th treated with Sac 1/20 LD50 plus CoQ10. Sac and CoQ10 were taken orally for a duration of thirty days. Then brain oxidative stress tests were performed. Results: Saccharin at both low and high dosages showed a notable rise in brain oxidative markers (GSSG, NO and 8OHDG) in contrast to the group under authority. However, in contrast, CoQ10 supplementation reduced brain oxidative markers (GSSG, NO and 8OHDG) compared to Sac groups and nearly recovery in comparison with a control cohort. Conclusions:It is possible to draw the conclusion that saccharin has negative effects on brain tissue and raises oxidative indicators both at low and high dosages. However, applications of CoQ10 showed reduction in brain oxidative stress markers and protection from oxidative damage.

Nickel (II) Biosorption from Aqueous Solution by Unmodified Eucalyptus Myrtaceae Leaves
type: item
description: The present work investigated the removal of Ni(II) ions from aqueous solutions onto the surface of Eucalyptus Myrtaceae leaves (EMLs) as a cheap and ecofriendly biomass adsorbent. The plant leaves were used as raw material without any chemical treatments. The parameters impacting Ni(II) adsorption onto EMLs such as contact time, EMLs dose, initial pH, initial Ni(II) concentration and temperature were investigated. Results showed that the removal of Ni(II) cations from aqueous solution are depended on adsorbent dose, time contact, pH and initial ion concentration. The equilibrium data had been fitted very well with Langmuir isotherm (R2=0.9990) and pseudo-second-order model for kinetic studies (R2=0.9773). The adsorbed Ni(II) onto EMLs would initialized in 10 min and then the system approached equilibrium within 70 min. The amount of Ni(II) removal was found dependent upon the adsorbent dose and the pH of the initial solution. The optimum pH required for maximum Ni(II) adsorption was 5.5 with the adsorption efficiency equals to 78.1% and adsorption capacity of 7.59 mg/g.

Experimental Study of Faults Arising on a DC Brushed Shunt Motor
type: item
description: Faults do sometimes occur in direct current (DC) electrical machines result in a very costly downtime and safety concerns. Brushed type DC motors are cheap and easy to install, thus maintain a significant presence in the automotive, aerospace, and home appliance industries. Despite the popularity, faults occur which make analysis and detection of faults very important. Since there are many types of machines and each type has its own behavior when a fault developed, so that only with considerable experience can the cause of failure be correctly identified from the symptoms alone. In this paper a various faults mechanisms of brushed DC shunt motor are presented experimentally. Experimental results demonstrated how DC shunt motor are affected by various faults during the operation. The experiment results can be used to prove the validity of any method for modelling based fault diagnosis, detection and fault confirmation in DC motor, especially in the laboratories that have shortage in equipment.
