In this research, we developed an efficient energy management algorithm that has the following prosperities: • Nodes are distributed according to Boualem et al.[14] and not randomly, which will affect the overall energy consumption of sensor nodes compared to other protocols • The shortest path between source and destination is not static when same source node sends to same destination node since the path will be updated according to the energy level of intermediate sensor nodes • The controller (CH) will construct an energy map and update it with time since the energy of sensor node is changing with time. keywords: algorithm; applications; charge; cluster; data; destination; efficient; energy; figure; head; iot; level; lifetime; management; map; networks; nodes; number; path; power; proposed; protocol; region; round; routing; sensor; shortest; source; vol; wireless; wsn; wsns cache: cuesj-112.pdf plain text: cuesj-112.txt item: #10 of 105 id: cuesj-115 author: Sultan, Mohamad T.; Yasen, Khaled N.; Saeed, Ali Q. title: Simulation-based Evaluation of Mobile Ad Hoc Network Routing Protocols: Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector, Fisheye State Routing, and Zone Routing Protocol date: 2019-08-20 words: 4447 flesch: 55 summary: Figure 1: Example of mobile ad hoc network Figure 2: Mobile ad hoc network protocols Table 1: Categorization of MANET routing protocols Selected MANET routing protocols Table-Driven routing protocols (proactive) Mobile ad hoc network Sultan, et al.: Simulation-based evaluation of mobile ad hoc network routing protocols: Ad hoc on-demand distance vector, fisheye state routing, and zone routing protocol 66 http://journals.cihanuniversity.edu.iq/index.php/cuesj CUESJ 2019, 3 (2): 64-69 Reactive Routing Protocols The on-demand or reactive routing approach is the second and most prominent category of routing protocols in MANET. keywords: aodv; average; data; delay; delivery; demand; destination; distance; end; evaluation; figure; fisheye; fraction; fsr; hybrid; information; link; local; manet; message; mobile; network; nodes; number; packet; performance; proactive; process; protocols; reactive; research; results; route; routing; routing protocols; simulation; source; state; study; sultan; table; throughput; time; topology; vector; vol; wireless; zone; zrp cache: cuesj-115.pdf plain text: cuesj-115.txt item: #11 of 105 id: cuesj-116 author: Mahmood, Yazen Saifuldeen; Qasmarrogy, Ghassan Amanuel title: Capacity Analysis of Multiple-input-multiple-output System Over Rayleigh and Rician Fading Channel date: 2019-08-20 words: 2879 flesch: 53 summary: MIMO system can able to improve channel capacity, range, and reliability without requiring any additional bandwidth or transmit power.

DISCUSSION Results of the present study are in agreement with previous study of ZnO NPs by Cheric and Rafieirad[20] showed that injecting ZnO NPs with three different doses (1.25, 2.5, and 5) mg/kg to 42 male rats divided into 7 groups, the blood samples of experimental with different doses were taken on the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 15th days after receiving Nano ZnO intraperitoneally (ip) to measure the amount of T3 and T4 hormone levels, results observed that acute injection of Nano ZnO reduced the amount of thyroid hormone T3 and T4, the effect occurred in different doses, but is more significant in the medium and long term, even in small amounts can cause negative effects on the activity of the thyroid gland and disrupt creation of thyroid hormones. keywords: animals; cells; comparison; concentrations; control; control groups; cuesj; days; decrease; diet; different; dose; effect; experimental; factor; figure; function; gland; groups; high; high significant; hormone; intraperitoneal; journal; level; luaibi; male; nanoparticles; nps; oxide; production; rats; research; results; serum; significant; significant decrease; study; testosterone; thyroid; thyroid hormone; time; tsh; variable; vol; water; wistar; zayed; zinc; zinc oxide; zno; zno nps cache: cuesj-179.pdf plain text: cuesj-179.txt item: #24 of 105 id: cuesj-181 author: Hasan, Alaa M.; Abdul Majeed, Sura M.; Al-Bahrani, Rusol M. title: Investigating the Inhibitory Effect of Silver Nanoparticles against Some Species of Candida and Pathogenic Bacteria date: 2020-01-17 words: 2854 flesch: 55 summary: AgNPs: Silver nanoparticles Figure 4: Inhibition zone of silver nanoparticles against several isolates of bacteria; (a) Staphylococcus aureus, (b) Pseudomonas aeroginosa (c), Escherichia coli cba Hasan, et al.: Furthermore, it was reported that AgNPs damage the structure of the cell membrane in C. albicans producing “holes” on the surface of the cells and thus inhibiting the budding process.[22] Figure 1: Ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra of silver nanoparticles after bioreduction by Pleurotus ostreatus mushroom aqueous extract Figure 2: Size of silver nanoparticles Figure 3: Intensity of particle size distribution of Pleurotus ostreatus dried mushroom aqueous extract Hasan, et al.: keywords: 0.001d; activity; agnps; albicans; antifungal; antimicrobial; aqueous; bacteria; candida; cells; coli; concentration; cuesj; different; effect; extract; figure; hasan; http://journals.cihanuniversity.edu.iq/index.php/cuesj; infections; inhibition; inhibitory; isolates; journal; membrane; mushroom; nanoparticles; new; ostreatus; pleurotus; properties; results; silver; size; solution; species; spp; synthesis; vol; zeylanoides; zone cache: cuesj-181.pdf plain text: cuesj-181.txt item: #25 of 105 id: cuesj-182 author: Abdulwahid, Rushna G.; Ahmed, Hamdia M. title: Nutritional Characteristics of Pregnant Women and its Relation with Anemia during Pregnancy in a Sample of Kurdish Women/Iraq date: 2020-01-17 words: 5271 flesch: 59 summary: El-Hindi (2011) concluded in a study done regarding nutrition that 55.4% of the study sample get regular nutrition, while 44.6% get not regular nutrition in anemic group, in non-anemic group and 78.3% of study sample get regular nutrition while 21.7% get irregular nutrition during pregnancy.
