Authors: Thu Ngo Thi Khue , Quyen Huynh Thi Ngoc , Hoai Nguyen Thanh
Published: January 2024

The customer experience has an impact on the business’s revenue and profit, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic and the growth of the e-retail industry in Vietnam. Therefore, retailing businesses need to know how to manage a positive customer experience. The research objectives are to systematize the rationale related to customer experience, customer experience prefixes and suffixes, and their relationship in the Vietnamese e-retailing context. The quantitative research surveyed over 300 customers and analyzed data with the PLS-SEM method. The research findings show that customer experience affects customer satisfaction and loyalty, and the factors affecting customer experience include web usability, flow state, customer services, products, and customization. However, factors such as security, e-word-of-mouth, and economic value do not affect the customer experience in the context of Vietnam. The research proposes that technology companies, retailers, and managers focus on creating positive customer experiences through customer service, flow state, web usability, customization, and product.

Published: January 2024

In this paper we introduce a proposed cascade classifier system consists of five strong classifiers (stages), and empirically analysis three types of Adaboost algorithms (Real, Modest, and Gentle) which it were used for boosting the strong classifiers. Five prototypes of haar-like features (two-horizontal rectangles, two-vertical rectangles, three-horizontal rectangles, three-vertical rectangles, and four-rectangles) are used for each strong classifier (stage) of cascade classifier. Two-horizontal, two-vertical rectangles features and Modest-Adaboost Algorithm are applied for the 1st and 2nd strong classifier respectively, three-horizontal, vertical-rectangles features and Real-Adaboost Algorithm are applied for 3rd and 4th strong classifier respectively, and the last, four-rectangles and Real-Adaboost Algorithm are applied for the 5th strong classifier of cascade classifier. The implementation shows that the best use of Adaboost algorithm is: the Modest-Adaboost algorithm for both 1st and 2nd strong classifier, and the Real-Adaboost algorithm for 3rd,4th and 5th strong classifier.

Eigenface and SIFT For Gender Classification
Authors: Al-Azzawy Dhyaa Shaheed Sabr
Published: January 2024

In this paper, we study and analyze five different approaches for gender classification (Male or Female). The purpose of approaches is to extract the main features from face image and for each approach; we used these features as input to the Support Vector Machine SVM classifier for classification process. In the first approach, we implemented the Principal Component Analysis PCA features as input to the SVM classifier. In the second approach, the resulted parameters of Scale Invariant Features Transform approach are used as input to SVM classifier. In the third approach, we implemented Eigenfaces as input to SIFT, and then the results of SIFT are used as input to SVM classifier also. In the fourth approach, we implemented Eigenfaces to be input to Volume-SIFT (VSIFT) and then used as input to SVM classifier. The last, we modified the VSIFT approach and use as input to SVM classifier. The practical implementation results show that the proposed approach (modified VSIFT) gave us high performance of gender classification than other approaches.The training and testing images set consist of number of faces which are obtained from (Computer Vision Science Research Projects).The aim of this paper is to analyze and discuss the results of applying the eigenfaces into the new proposed approach of modifying Volume-SIFT for classifying the faces into its gender.
Electrical and Optical properties of ITO Films Prepared by Ion-Assisted Deposition at Ambient Substrate Temperatures
Authors: Mansour Suker Farhan
Published: January 2024

Traditionally, to achieve low resistivity and high transmission indium-tin oxide (ITO) films were deposited at elevated substrate temperatures about 400o C. In some cases, films deposited at low substrate temperatures can then annealed at higher temperature to achieve lower resistivity. In this paper thin films of ITO with various oxygen flow rates were prepared by ion-assisted electron beam evaporation at ambient substrate temperature. The electrical and optical properties of ITO thin films have been investigated as a function of oxygen flow rate, rate of deposition and the layer thickness. The transmittance and optical band-gap energy were measured by spectrophotometer, whereas the sheet resistance was measured using four-point probe method. It has been found that at 25 sccm oxygen flow, 0.4 nm/sec rate of deposition and 140 nm layer thickness were suitable for improving the properties of ITO films. The optical transmittance, optical band-gap and the resistivity were 92%, 4.2 eV and 175x10-4Ω-cm, respectively.
The combined effect of rapid solidification and phosphor addition on the microstructure of hypereutectic A390 alloys
Authors: Lamyaa Mahde Asaad
Published: January 2024

The influence of the combined effect of rapid solidification and phosphor addition on the morphology of primary silicon particles in A390 Al-Si alloy has been investigated by using light optical microscope (LOM). The P as modifier element was added in the shape of copper phosphor (Cu3P) master alloy. The results show that as the solidification rate increases, the size of primary silicon particles in A390 alloy reduces and the morphology of these particles evolve from plate-like to the fine nodular shape. The rapid solidification has a significant improvement on the refining performance of P to modify and refine the primary Si particles in A390 alloy. It is suggested that the refining performance of P in Cu3P master alloy is related to the formation the AlP particles which act as a heterogeneous nucleation. This affects the solidification rate and restricts the Si phase's growth.

Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study is to investigate the positive effects of olive leaves extract on the alteration of some renal function test (urea, uric acid and creatinine) in serum of male rabbits that have been reared under heat stress conditions. Thirty , New Zealand white male rabbits,(12-14 weeks old and 1500-2000 gm in weight) are individually caged, for 30 days. The animals are divided into six groups(5 animals for each) control group and 5 experimental groups (reared under heat stress environment). The first experimental group heat stressed only, the other two groups have received every day, 1000mg/kg/bw and 2000mg/kg/bw respectively of dried extract of olive leaves put in capsules and fed orally, the rest two groups have received 200 mg/ml and 400mg/ml respectively of aqueous extract of olive leaves with drinking water every day of the experiment. The results show a significant increase of urea, uric acid and creatinine levels in sera of heat stressed rabbits, while there is an improvement of these three parameters in the animal treated with the dried and aqueous extracts in concentration dependent manner. In conclusion, these results confirm the positive healthful properties of olive as anti-heat stress products.

Authors: Khairallah Mezhir Gabash
Published: January 2024

Hydatid disease, being endemic in several areas of the world, is of interest even to surgeons in non-endemic areas because they may encounter the disease due to ease and rapidity of travel as well as immigration. Surgery remains the method of choice in the management of hepatic hydatid cysts. Because of limited experience, controversies still exist about the laparoscopic managememt of hepatic hydatid cysts. We report a case of a thirty four years-old male, presented with a well defined large cyst occupying most of the right hepatic lobe successfully treated with laparoscopic total cystectomy. The operation and hospitalization period were uncomplicated. Controlled follow-up clinically and radiologically showed no remaining pathology or recurrence in any form.

Published: January 2024

The phenomenon of desertification became a real threat to the environmental, economic and social system in our contemporary world. The need arises to find an active means and technologies to measure and study the phenomenon of desertification on deferent levels. This research has been studied an area northwest Wasit Province/Iraq using remote sensing data for two satellites (LandSat7, LandSat8) at different dates (year2000, year2013). Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), moving standard deviation index (MSDI) and Albedo have been adopted from satellite images to measure the desertification levels in study area. The result showed high clear of low, high and intense desertification at average of yearly changes (24, 104.52, 138.32 km2/year) respectively, while the vegetation cover and low desertification level have been a decrease (18.87, 246.97 km2/year) respectively. This was due to the climate changes in the world and the human factor which contributed widely in land deterioration and desertification phenomenon in the study area.

Spectrophotometric Determination of Sulfathiazole in Different Pharmaceutical Formulations
Authors: Azeez Yousif Jalal
Published: January 2024

A simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of sulfathiazole in aqueous solution is described. The method is based on the diazotized coupling reaction of aniline with sulfathiazole drugs. A mixture of an acidic solution (hydrochloric acid) of the sulfathiazole and the chromogenic was treated with sodium nitrite and aniline to form an intense orange water-soluble dye that is stable and has a maximum absorption at 480 nm. It was observed that the method is applicable for the determination of sulfathiazole in Nicotrim, Contri, Biotran and Bactrim forte formulations. The LOD ( limit of detection) and LOQ ( limit of quantification) for the method were calculated and found to be 0.23 and 0.48 ppm respectively.
