Thin films deposited on glass surfaces can be produced by various

methods, including physical methods (thermal evaporation in

vacuum, sputtering, etc.) and chemical methods (chemical

deposition, chemical vapor deposition, thermal chemical analysis,

etc.). In this paper, thin films were deposited on glass slides using

the plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD)

technique at pressures (10,30 and 50 mTorr) for varying durations

of (5,10 and 15 minutes). In addition, the results indicates that

increasing the deposition time significantly influenced the film

thickness while the adhesion does not directly depend on time.

This study aimed to assess surface contamination levels of children’s playground equipment in two public parks in AL-Zawiya City, Libya (Jdayem Park and AL-Zawiya Park), using adenosine triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence monitoring. The equipment surveyed included plastic slides, metal slides, iron swings, plastic swings, and rope swings. A total of 24 samples were collected from these surfaces using standardized ATP swabs, and results were classified based on established RLU thresholds (<100 RLU: clean, 100–300 RLU: marginally contaminated, >300 RLU: contaminated). The results revealed significant variability across equipment and surface types. The highest contamination level was observed on the iron swing at Jdayem Park (21–416 RLU), while the lowest levels were recorded on rope swings in AL-Zawiya Park (11–25 RLU). Plastic surfaces and rope swings generally exhibited lower contamination compared to metal surfaces, suggesting that surface material and design, combined with usage frequency, play a pivotal role in contamination accumulation. These findings align with previous studies that highlight the role of surface characteristics and environmental exposure in influencing microbial load. The results underscore the urgent need for targeted cleaning, disinfection, and regular quality

In this study, the morphological and thermal properties of a blend consisting of 75% polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and

25% low-density polyethylene (LDPE), reinforced with nano-refractory bricks (NRB) at varying ratios (1%, 3%, 5%, and 7%),

were prepared and investigated. The objective was to enhance the blend’s thermal stability and surface structure homogeneity.

The morphological structure of the prepared samples was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray

diffraction (XRD). The obtained images revealed that the nano-refractory brick particles remained predominantly within the

PVC phase, resulting in an increased composite density without significantly affecting the LDPE phase. This suggests that the

overall morphology of the composite is largely unaffected by the presence of the nano-refractory bricks. From a thermal

perspective, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA/DTG) was conducted on all samples from room temperature up to 600 °C at a

heating rate of 10 °C/min. FTIR and TGA results indicated that the decomposition onset temperature shifted to higher values

due to the presence of nano-refractory bricks, with the most pronounced shift observed in the sample containing 3%

reinforcement. Additionally, the rate of mass loss was reduced. These findings demonstrate that reinforcing the PVC/LDPE

blend with nano-refractory bricks improves its performance, making it more suitable for applications that demand enhanced

thermal and mechanical properties, such as those in the construction and electronics industries.

This paper addresses the critical challenge of human-induced signal attenuation in millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications, a key concern for fifth-generation (5G) network reliability in indoor environments. Our study introduces a simplified model to quantify the impact of human body blockage on indoor communication links at a frequency of 32.5 GHz., a frequency relevant to 5G systems. The influence of nearby scattering objects is investigated through experimental measurements involving a human body. Key wave propagation phenomena, including diffraction, are considered for each scattering object. The Double Knife-Edge Diffraction (DKED) model is used to estimate the attenuation caused by the human body (to estimate blockage losses). Through controlled experiments with human subjects, we systematically analyze how scattering objects and body positioning influence signal propagation. The model's performance is validated by comparing simulation results with experimental data. The findings show that the proposed model effectively predicts signal attenuation in indoor environments, providing valuable insights for future studies on human presence effects in fifth-generation (5G) communication systems. Keywords: 5G, DKED, diffraction, human shadowing, millimeter-wave, blockage.

-This paper examines the effect of human body blockage on signal propagation (millimeter-wave (mmWave) signal propagation) in indoor environments links at 32.5 GHz (a critical frequency for fifth-generation (5G) network), with a particular focus on the diffraction effects caused by the human body, where diffraction is one of the important wave propagation mechanisms. In this study, measurements were taken to assess the effect of the human body as it moves between the transmitter and the receiver. To predict the signal attenuation, the principles of Fresnel diffraction were utilized, particularly emphasizing complex Fresnel integrals. Our results show that the received power varies significantly based on the person’s position, as diffraction loss highly depends on the body’s location. This study enhances our understanding of how human-induced diffraction, is critical for designing more reliable wireless networks. As the findings demonstrate that the proposed model effectively predicts signal attenuation in indoor environments and emphasizes the importance of accounting for human interference when optimizing communication systems, thus supporting the effective deployment of 5G technology. 

This paper investigates human-induced signal attenuation in indoor mm-wave communications at 32.5 GHz, a critical concern for 5G systems. Two distinct diffraction-based models are applied to the same indoor scenario to assess human blockage effects: one employs the Double Knife-Edge Diffraction (DKED) approach, and the other uses Fresnel diffraction principles with complex Fresnel integrals. Controlled experiments with a human subject moving between a transmitter (TX) and a receiver (RX) reveal that the DKED model consistently underestimates the received power by 2 6 dB, while the Fresnel diffraction approach underestimates it by 2–5 dB Based on the comparative results, the DKED model demonstrates higher accuracy in predicting signal attenuation, offering valuable insights for improving indoor 5G network performance

Diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy (DCAN) is a significant condition that affects cardiovascular health worldwide and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality rates. Therefore, early detection and management of DCAN are crucial for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease among individuals with T2DM. Identifying this disorder can enhance patient outcomes and quality of life by minimizing the chances of serious complications. This cross-sectional study aims to identify diabetic individuals with DCAN and to investigate its relationship with various risk factors, including hyperglycemia, the duration of diabetes, the presence of peripheral somatic neuropathy, and diabetic microvascular complications. The study included 261 patients with T2DM, comprising 61.5% females and 38.5% males. Participants underwent cardiovascular testing and clinical evaluations to identify cases of cardiac autonomic neuropathy. Out of the 261 randomly selected patients, 82 were diagnosed with DCAN, resulting in a prevalence rate of 31.4%. The average age for female patients was 57.5 ± 0.7 years, while for male patients, it was 56.3 ± 1.2 years from the total recruited patients. In addition, there is a strong association between DCAN and clinical and biochemical parameters such as lipid profile, duration of diabetes, poor diabetic control, and presence of microalbuminuria in patients with DCAN and above 60 years old, compared to younger patients. The study highlighted a strong association between DCAN and factors such as poor glycemic control, prolonged diabetes duration, and the presence of chronic microvascular complications, including neuropathy, retinopathy, and nephropathy. These findings emphasize the importance of raising awareness and proactively assessing Libyan patients who are at risk for cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy. This is crucial to reduce the likelihood of recurrent acute cardiac complications, especially in patients undergoing emergency surgery without a prior diagnosis. It is vital to recognize this risk.

Abstract— Arabic language is characterized by its rich morphological structure, presenting unique challenges in Nat- ural Language Processing (NLP). The categorization of Arabic plurals is the subject of this study, which uses a trans- former-based model—more precisely, the pre-trained Arabic BERT architecture—and has never been studied previously. Given the complexities of Arabic language, particularly in pluralization which includes sound masculine, sound feminine, and irregular (broken) plurals, the research aims to enhance NLP capabilities in this area. By utilizing a dataset of 7,400 instances classified into four distinct categories, the study demonstrates the effectiveness of transfer learning in achieving high classification accuracy, with results indicating an accuracy of 97% across both validation and testing sets. Addition- ally, the model achieves high precision, recall, and F1-score metrics. A confusion matrix provides insights into classifica- tion performance, highlighting areas of misclassification. The findings underscore the potential of transformer models in overcoming the linguistic challenges posed by Arabic plural forms.
