This study aimed to investigate the effect of water treated with a magnetic field with different induction on the histological structure of the kidney and testicular tissue of albino rats. For this purpose, fifty albino rats were divided into five equal groups, the first of which was used as a control group, drank clean tap water for four weeks, the other groups were given daily water treated with a magnetic field with an induction of 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 gauss. Then the animals were sacrificed and histological changes in the kidneys and testicles were examined. Histopathological examination of the kidneys of animals that were given water treated with a magnetic field with an induction of 500, 1000 and 1500 gauss revealed normal renal tubules and glomeruli. Histopathological examination of the kidneys of rats that consumed water treated with a magnetic field with an induction of 2000 gauss showed numerous focal hemorrhages and vacuolar degeneration of the epithelium lining the tubules. Histological sections at magnification revealed vacuolar degeneration of the epithelium of the tubules, mainly the collecting tubules, the formation of tubular casts and tubular necrosis. Examination of the testicular tissue of rats exposed to water treated with a magnetic field with an induction of 500 and 1000 gauss showed normal seminiferous structure and cytoarchitecture of the germinal epithelium areas, as well as normal interstitial tissue. In contrast, rats given water treated with a magnetic field with an induction of 1500 gauss showed marked narrowing of the seminiferous tubules, moderate vacuolar degeneration of the germinal epithelium, necrosis of a number of spermatogonia cells, and thickening of the testicular interstitium. Histopathological examination of the testes of rats exposed to water treated with a magnetic field with an induction of 2000 gauss showed significant vacuolar degeneration, necrosis of a number of spermatogonia cells, and thickening of the testicular interstitium, as well as significant damage to the seminiferous tubules and germinal epithelium. Thus, water treated with a magnetic field with an induction of 2000 gauss negatively affected both the kidneys and testicles, while water treated with a magnetic field with strength of 1000 gauss improved the function of the kidney and testicular tissue of rats and did not affect their structure
In order to reduce hydrostatic pressure in oil wells and produce oil from dead oil wells, laboratory rig was constructed, by injecting LPG through pipe containing mixture of two to one part of East Baghdad crude oil and water. The used pressure of injection was 2.0 bar, which results the hydrostatic pressure reduction around 246 to 222 mbar and flow rate of 34.5 liter/hr fluid (oil-water), at 220 cm injection depth. Effects of other operating parameters were also studied on the behavior of two phase flow and on the production of oil from dead oil wells.
Triticale is being evaluated as a substitute for corn in animal feed and as a forage crop for Florida. Storage of triticale seed is difficult in Florida's hot and humid climate, and more information about the relationships between equilibrium moisture content (EMC) and equilibrium relative humidity (ERH) at constant temperature (sorption isotherms) of triticale is needed to develop improved storage methods. Therefore, the primary research objective was to measure the EMC for triticale seed at different ERH values at three different constant temperatures (5°C, 23°C, and 35°C) using six desiccation jars containing different saturated salt concentrations. The secondary objective was to determine the best fit equation describing these relati

Concrete specimens were prepared with various percentages of the RCA (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%). The workability, mechanical properties, and durability in terms of abrasion of cured concrete were examined at different ages. The results reveal insignificant differences between the recycled concrete (RC) and reference concrete in terms of the mechanical and durability-related measurements. Meanwhile, the workability of the RC reduced vastly since the replacement of the RCA reached 75% and 100%. The ultrasound pulse velocity (UPV) results greatly depend on the porosity of concrete and the RC exhibited higher poros
