Preformation probability and kinematics of cluster emission yielding Pb-daughters

2023 , Joshua T. Majekodunmi , Muruthujaya Bhuyan , Khairul Anwar Mohamad Khazali , Nooraihan Abdullah , Raj Kumar

In the present study, the newly established preformation formula is applied for the first time to study the kinematics of the cluster emission from various radioactive nuclei, especially those that decay to the double shell closure Pb nucleus and its neighbors as daughters. The recently proposed universal cluster preformation formula has been established based on the concepts that underscore the influence of mass and charge asymmetry ( and ), cluster mass , and the Q-value, paving the way to quantify the energy contribution during preformation as well as during the tunneling process separately. The cluster-daughter interaction potential is obtained by folding the relativistic mean-field (RMF) densities with the recently developed microscopic R3Y using the NL and the phenomenological M3Y NN potentials to compare their adaptability. The penetration probabilities are calculated from the WKB approximation. With the inclusion of the new preformation probability , the predicted half-lives of the R3Y and M3Y interactions are in good agreement with the experimental data. Furthermore, a careful inspection reflects slight differences in the decay half-lives, which arise from their respective barrier properties. The for systems with double magic shell closure Pb daughter are found to be an order of higher than those with neighboring Pb daughter nuclei. By exploring the contributions of the decay energy, the recoil effect of the daughter nucleus is evaluated, in contrast to several other conjectures. Thus, the centrality of the -value in the decay process is demonstrated and redefined within the preformed cluster-decay model. Additionally, we have introduced a simple and intuitive set of criteria that governs the estimation of recoil energy in the cluster radioactivity.

Numerical simulation of non-newtonian blood flow through a tapered stenosed artery using the cross model

2020 , T Majekodunmi Joshua , K Anwar , Nooraihan Abdullah

A Non-Newtonian model is used to examine the effect of tapering on the flow of blood along a stenosed artery which is caused by the pulsating nature the heart. The constitutive equation of the Cross model is used to capture the rheology of the streaming blood which accounts for the shear thinning behaviour of blood. The flow is considered to be laminar, incompressible, and axisymmetric. The finite- difference scheme was adopted to solve the non-linear equations describing the fluid motion in an unsteady two-dimensional case. The computation is presented in terms of the axial and radial velocities, volumetric flow rate, resistance to flow and the wall shear stress. The result from the numerical simulation clearly indicates that vessel tapering has considerable effect on the flow pattern of blood: as the tapering angle increases the flow rate and the axial velocity increases proportionately while the radial velocity, wall shear stress decreases and resistance to flow.

Decay properties of 253, 255Rf using the relativistic Mean-Field framework within the preformed Cluster-Decay model

2023 , Joshua T. Majekodunmi , Nishu Jain , Khairul Anwar Mohamad Khazali , Nooraihan Abdullah , Raj Kumar , Muruthujaya Bhuyan

Most neutron-deficient α emitters are known to be of great relevance to the astrophysical rapid neutron capture process in superheavy nuclei. Therefore, in the present work, the decay properties of newly observed superheavy nuclei with Z = 102, i.e., 249No isotope from the α-decay of 253Rf is theoretically investigated using the relativistic mean field (RMF) framework and the NL3* parameter set within the preformed cluster-decay model (PCM). The α-decay chain of 255f is also considered. The RMF densities are folded with the R3Y nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential to deduce the nuclear interaction potential between the decaying fragments. A complete understanding of the penetration of an α-particle across the nuclear Coulomb barrier gives outstanding credence to the assumptions of quantum mechanics. The presence of shell/sub-shell closure is indicated by the formation of peaks along the decay chain and was found to alter the conventional scaling factor observed earlier in the results of the PCM. The calculated half-lives are in close agreement with recent experimental measurements.

An extended thomas-fermi model with clustering in Nuclei

2016 , Nooraihan Abdullah

In this study, a phenomenological theory of nuclei that includes clustering at the nuclear surface in a general form is presented. The theory elaborates the recently extracted large symmetry energy by Natowitz et al., at low densities of nuclear matter and is fully consistent with the static properties of nuclei. Clusters of all sizes and shapes together with medium alterations are included in a phenomenological way. Discussion about the symmetric nuclear matter properties are presented in detail. Arguments are stated, which bring to an equation of state of nuclear matter consistent with clustering in the low-density region. In addition, the justification and discussion about the properties of asymmetric nuclear matter are given. Due to the clustering, an interesting interpretation of the equation of state of asymmetric nuclear matter comes into view. An extended version of Thomas-Fermi theory is adopted as a framework for nuclei where it also consist of the phenomenological pairing and Wigner contributions. This theory relates the nuclear matter equation of state, which includes clustering at low densities, with clustering in nuclei at the nuclear surface. Calculations are carried out for different equations of state of nuclear matter. This study take into account binding energies of 2149 nuclei for N,Z  8. The significance of the quartic term in symmetry energy is illustrated at and below the saturation density of nuclear matter. It is demonstrated that it is greatly connected to the use of ab initio, a realistic equation of state of neutron matter, especially the contribution originating from the three neutron interactions and rather clustering. The causes for these are presented. The neutron skin thickness in nuclei is found to reduce significantly, for the reason of clustering. The developed theory predicts circumstances and methodologies to be examine both theoretically and experimentally.

Visualization of monotonic shaped data by a rational cubic Ball

2025-02-17 , Wan Nurhadani Wan Jaafar , Siti Jasmida Jamil , Shakila Saad , Nooraihan Abdullah

This paper discusses the monotonicity-preserving curve interpolation of 2D monotone data. A piecewise rational cubic Ball function in form of (cubic numerator /cubic denominator), with four shape parameters is presented. The rational cubic Ball spline has four shape parameters in its descriptions where two of them are constrained shape parameters and remaining two of them provide the freedom to user to easily control the shape of the curve by simply changing their values. The sufficient data dependent conditions are derived for two shape parameters to insure the monotonicity everywhere. Numerical results show that the Ball interpolation scheme is quite efficient and well tested for monotone data.

Developing a Credit Scoring of the SMEs Manufacturing based on Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) Algorithm

2025-02-17 , Shakila Saad , Wan Nurhadani Wan Jaafar , Siti Jasmida Jamil , Nooraihan Abdullah

Credit risk is a very important risk to banks since failure of borrowers to make required payment will lead to high non-performing loans. Hence, it is necessary for banks to develop a mechanism to gauge the credit risk of its borrowers. One of the methods is credit scoring. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of the Malaysian economy comprising 98.5% of the total business established in Malaysia. Despite their importance, access to finance is relatively limited. According to banks, lending money to SMEs are risky compared to large companies due to few factors such as less of publicly available information, young and lack of collateral. Hence, this study tried to predict the credit risk of SMEs in Malaysia by developing a credit scoring that combined financial and non-financial criteria. This study proposes a credit scoring method based on MCDM algorithm that will be able to forecast the score of the potential borrowers at a certain time by using the historic information. Result obtained is verified via the comparison with the given credit risk level provided by banks and by measuring the correlation. The correlation value is 0.88640526 indicates the high positive linear relationship.

Exploring the systematics of cluster decay half-lives in heavy actinides within the range 234 ≤ A ≤ 252

2025 , Khairul Anwar Mohamad Khazali , Nooraihan Abdullah

This study explores the cluster decay half-lives in both experimentally measured and undetected radioactive nuclei within the mass number range The investigation employs the recently proposed preformation probability formula, focusing on the systematic behaviours governing cluster emissions. Emphasis is placed on the contribution of the Q-value during both preformation and decay processes. Experimental binding energy data are used to estimate Q-values, and the cluster penetration process is discussed using the M3Y and R3Y nuclear potentials. The interaction potential between the cluster and the daughter nucleus is obtained by folding the relativistic mean-field (RMF) densities with R3Y NN potential using the NL3* parameter set and compared with the phenomenological M3Y NN potential. The penetration probabilities are calculated from the WKB approximation. The formula is found to be a useful tool for understanding cluster radioactivity in heavy actinides. The result provides valuable insights into the systematics of cluster decay half-lives, highlighting the influence of neutron magic shell closures and interaction potentials on different cluster decay properties.

Numerical study of Magnetohydrodynamic blood flow through an artery with multiple stenosis

2020 , T Majekodunmi Joshua , Khairul Anwar Mohamad Khazali , Nooraihan Abdullah

The study theoretically accounts for the impact of Magnetohydrodynamics on streaming blood through an artery having multiple stenosis regions using the non-Newtonian Cross-rheological model. It is regarded that the streaming blood is unsteady and pulsative. The use of appropriate conditions is predicated on the assumption that the flow is laminar and axisymmetric which makes the problem two-dimensional. The geometry of stenosis was immobilized into a rectangular grid using the radial coordinate transformation. The finite difference scheme was employed for the numerical simulations. Specifically, magnetic field (Hartmann number), Reynolds number and severity of stenosis were varied over the entire arterial length. The results obtained predicted that increase in the Hartmann number and stenosis severity reduces the magnitude of the flow velocity, flow rate but the reverse is the case when the Reynolds number is increased. However, the wall shear stress and the resistance to flow are aided by increasing the Hartman number and the stenosis severity but reduces with increase in the Reynolds number. Hence, it is germane to apply the appropriate magnetic field in treatments otherwise, such patient may be vulnerable.
