Contamination of wastewater by toxic metals is a global environmental concern. In this study, the possibility of using inactive (dead) Sargassum bacilluria powder as a natural adsorbent was investigated in the removal of cadmium from aqueous solutions. The biosorption process was found to be highly dependent on a set of variables such as pH, temperature, contact time, shaking speed and initial metal concentration. The results showed an optimum pH value, (6.0) for cadmium, where was the biosorption capacity (842.15±0.252) for cadmium, and the lowest biosorption value for Cd was found at pH 2.0. The optimum temperature in this study was 30 °C. The time required for equilibrium was investigated over a period of 360 min and found to be 180 min. The capacity of biosorption increased with increasing shaking speed, and the highest uptake value was found at 120 rpm. The maximum removal of Cd+2 was found at 20 mg/l. The models Freundlich and Langmuir were used to study the equilibrium process of these systems. The Langmuir model was found to be more suitable for the interpretation of these systems by the value of the correlation coefficients higher than 0.99. Brown seaweed powder is an effective, low-cost, .and environmentally friendly adsorbent for removing metals from aqueous solutions, according to the results obtained.

ABSTRACT In this work, we show the theorem of the convolution of the Abaoub-Shkheam transform and employed it for solving one dimensional linear Volterra integral equations of the second kind.  

In this paper we want to describe the algorithm to find all good starting points for

iteration of 𝑁𝑝(𝑧) to find all the roots of 𝑝(𝑧) by quick and easy way. So in this paper

we have proved that all critical points go to the roots under iteration of Newton’s

function then it will be the good starting points for iteration of 𝑁𝑝(𝑧) .

Factorial field experiment was done to estimate agronomic phosphorus use efficiency (APE) and partial factor productivity (PFP). The experiment was run in a private farm in Janzour area which is located west of Tripoli Libya in 2018. Two localized wheat genotypes (L1, and L2) and three rates of triple super phosphate fertilizer (0, 60, and 120) kg P2O5 ha-1 were used. The results indicated that both genotypes have good response to phosphate fertilization. APE and PFP achieved positive relationship with only 60 kg P2O5 ha-1 rate for both genotypes. Moreover, APE calculation showed positive relationship with increasing soil phosphorus test values, meanwhile, APE values was kept steady at 120 kg P2O5 ha-1 .

Abstract-In this paper a new integral transform namely Abaoub-Shkheam transform was introduced. Fundamental properties of this transform were derived and presented such as linearity, change of scale, and first translation or shifting. It is proven and tested to covering equation for temperature distributions in a semi-infinite bar. This transform may solve some different kind of integral and differential equations and it competes with other known transforms like Sumudu and Yang Transform.

The Murzuq Basin, in Southwestern Libya, is one of Libyan’s most productive petroleum basins, with reserves estimated at 23 billion barrels recoverable of hydrocarbon equivalent within giant oil fields. Four crude oil samples collected from A1-NC186, E1-NC101, E2-NC101, H10-NC115 wells from Murzuq Basin, Libya, were suggested for bulk analysis and physical proprieties, alkane distribution and isoprenoids and the hopane, tricyclic terpane and sterane distributions of the oils, to confirm the presence of non-marine organic matter sources and/or any evidence of its existence. The oils show no significant variation in the ratios of the carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and sulfur content (CHNS) composition. All samples recorded high to very high API° gravity, ranges 33.8 to 40.3; the sulfur values ranged from 0.31 to 0.45%, the wax ratio in crude oils is showing a great variety, E1-NC101and E2-NC101 oils show higher wax content, ranging from 6.1 to 6.7%. Pristineto Phytane ratios (Pr/Ph) range from 1.61 to 2.22 and the Pr/n-C17, Ph/n-C18, n-C17/n-C27 and CPI values determined as indicators of the depositional environment of the crude oils. The data of search confirmed that the crude oils were derived from marine, mixed and terrestrial sediments.

The expansion of agriculture to provide the necessary food is related to the availability of water, but the limited availability of irrigation requires research on techniques to reduce water losses. This paper presents an application of a prototype design of microcontroller based on an intelligent irrigation system which will allow irrigation to take place in the areas. This method can be applied to the system of drip irrigation and its impact on the quantities of water used in irrigation as its application is part of the solution to the problem of water shortage suffered by Libya in addition to reducing the amount of water wasted while irrigating crops. In this study, a network of smart irrigation system was designed for a 5-hectare farm in AL-Sawawa area, located to the east, at about 20 km from Sirte city. The farm was divided into two parts, a vegetable crops section with an area of 3ha and the other section of 2 ha for olive trees. The intelligent irrigation system senses the moisture content of the soil and the temperature of the air through the sensors and turns on or off the water pumps using the relays to carry out this procedure. The main advantage of using this irrigation system is to minimize human intervention and ensure proper irrigation. The microcontroller serves as the main unit of the entire irrigation system, Photovoltaic cells are used to provide solar energy as an energy supply for the whole system. The system is controlled by the microcontroller; it obtains data from the sensors, it compares the data as pre-programmed, and the output signals activate the relays to operate the pumps to start the irrigation process.
