The main objective of this paper is to solve fuzzy initial value problems, in which the fuzziness occurs in the initial conditions. The proposed approach, namely the modified variational iteration method, will be used to find the solution of fuzzy initial value problem approximately and to increase the rate of convergence of the variational iteration method. From the obtained results, as it is expected, the approximate results of the proposed method are more accurate than those results obtained without using the modified variational iteration method.

This review provides brief information concerning with the dendrimer. The supramolecular organization of selected examples of liquid-crystalline dendrimers within lamellar, columnar and nematic phases is reported. It is shown that tuning of the mesomorphic structure can be achieved by an appropriate molecular design depending upon the chemical nature of the terminal mesogenic groups, dendritic core and dendrimer generation. The pseudospherical shape of a dendrimer arises from its structure, which consists of an internal region (the core) which is connected to repeating units constituting a radial branching pattern.

In this work, we analyze the effects of S doping on the structural and optical characteristics of pure cadmium oxide (CdO) filmsat varying concentrations of CdO1−x:Sx(X=0.2, 0.4, and 0.6), Sulfur is a chemical element with the atomic number 16 and the symbol S. The films were created using a laser-induced plasma (LIP) with a wavelength of 1064 nm and a duration of 9 ns at a pressure of 2.5×10−2mbar.X-ray diffraction studies revealed that all of the produced films are polycrystalline. The topography of the film's surface was evaluated using AFM, and the findings revealed that as the amount of doping increases, so does the grain size, along with an increase in the average roughness. The absorbance spectrum of the wavelength range (350-1100) nm was used to investigate the optical characteristics of all films. This rise might be the so-called Borsstein-Moss displacement has been viewed as a result of this. because the lowest layers of the conduction beams are densely packed with Because electrons require more energy to move, it seems as though the energy disparity widens.

Background Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is produced by cell failure of pancreatic cells and insulin resistance and is a disorder in which the amount of sugar in the blood is elevated. Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) functions as an inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase, a critical enzyme in lipid metabolism. The aim of this study was to explore if the ANGPTL4 gene's E40K variant and ANGPTL4 serum levels are related to the Body mass index, fasting glucose levels, lipid levels, and glycated hemoglobin.Method75 people were enrolled in this case-control study, 25 of whom had type 2 diabetes mellitus while the other 50 were healthy control subjects. Fasting blood glucose, Lipid profile, Glycated hemoglobin were estimated by Cobas 111 analyzer, BMI (weight, height) was calculated, angiopoietin-like protein 4by anenzyme-linked immune sorbent test kit and TaqMan genotyping-based real-time PCR was used to ascertain ANGPTL4 genotypes. The variant was linked to the risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and parameters used to quantify the variant were identified. Result Patients in the 30-50 age range with type 2 diabetes and those in the same age group who serve as controls. The control group had a lower level of angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) than the diabetes group. Patients with T2DM had a substantially (p< 0.0001) greater fasting serum Angiopoietin-like protein 4 level than the control group (135.1±6.70) ng/ml and (62.35±6.4) ng/ml, respectively. The diabetes group has significantly higher fasting serum glucose, lipid profile, and glycated hemoglobin compared with non-diabetics. Serum Angiopoietin-like protein 4 was correlated positively with body mass index. (CC,CT,TT) genotypes of the rs2010871 polymorphism There was a significant difference in frequency of the control group (p =0.0477); however, there was no significant difference in its level of (diabetics, newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic before treatment)p-value (0.7066, 0.5555) respectively Conclusion Serum Angiopoietin-like protein 4 levels are negatively correlated to cholesterol, positively correlated to triglyceride, negatively correlated to HDL, positively correlated to HbA1c, negatively correlated to LDL, negatively correlated to VLDL, negatively correlated to FBS, negatively correlated to BMI. The C>T allele at the ANGPTL4 gene's rs2010871polymorphic locus was linked to a decreased prevalence of Type 2 diabetes.

Aquatic insects samples were collected from 6 sites along the Greater Zab River in the northern Iraq from Duhok and Erbil governorates over 12 months during September 2016 to August2017, which belong to seven orders (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera, Odonatan, Diptera, Coleoptera, and Megaloptera). Clustering mitochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase and 16S rDNA genes, morphological keys, and matches in the Barcode of Life Database, we identified 24 species return to 7 orders and 12 families, as indicated in the results. The reported species were: Ephemeroptera 5 members of the family Heptageniidae (Maccaffertium meririvulanum, Raptoheptagenia cruentata, Ecdyonurus dispar, Anepeorus rusticus, Stenonema femoratum), 1 Ephemerellidae (Seratella ignita), 1 Arthropleidae (Arthroplea bipunctata), 6 Baetidae (Baetis alpinus, Baetis braaschi, Baetis noa, Baetis harrisoni, Iswaeon anoka, Heterocloeon amplum), 1 member for each of Diptera, Coleoptera, Megaloptera and Odonatan orders, while Plecoptera 2 members Leuctridae (Leuctra hippopoides, Leuctra inermis) and Tricoptera 4 members 3 Hydropsychidae (Leptonema albovirens, Hydropsyche simulans, Arctopsyche irrorate), 1 Hydroptilidae (Ochrotrichia tenuata). Most of these recorded species and genera were mentioned for the first time and represent new records in Iraq. Presence and distribution of identified species varied between studied sites, as a result of differences in biogeographical and physical conditions.
