This study aims to investigate the adequacy of composite cellular beams with lightweight reinforced concrete deck slab as a structural unit for harmonic loaded buildings. The experimental program involved three fixed-ends supported beams throughout 2140 mm. Three concrete types were included: Normal Weight Concrete (NWC), Lightweight Aggregate Concrete (LWAC), and Lightweight Fiber Reinforced Aggregate Concrete (LWACF). The considered frequencies were (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30) Hz. It was indicated that the harmonic load caused a significant influence on LWAC response (64% greater than NWC) and lattice cracks were observed, especially at 30 Hz. As for LWACF slab, no cracks appeared, and the harmonic load had a minor effect on the vibration amplitude. Adding fiber to LWAC improved its behavior and made the amplitude no more than 11.11%, corresponding to NWC. So, the response variance for the LWACF was approximately negligible compared with NWC. It is worth mentioning that the study produced a lightweight structure that resists harmonic vibrations with a small strength reduction by using LWACF as a deck-slab for cellular specimens and provides a structural element with a smaller density of about 27%, which presents an advantage for the cellular beam that is adopted for low-loaded structures.

The researcher tried to concentrate on the field study included many houses for the sake of documenting it by pictures and schemes with its history using the available data that had got from elderly whereas the rest of heritage will document in other research , in God willing .
The research confined on the studying of examples heritage houses which was some of them had built at the end of 19th century AD but, other of them had built on the beginning of 20th century . In spite of considering these buildings are important and as a sign to architect art of Jubba but, there is never full studying written about them in Western city .
The importance of this study lies on documenting sides of environmental and climatic progress which Iraq
Background: The aim was to ascertain the current practice of adjuvant therapy for tonsillectomy and to determine whether it is evidence based.
Methods: A questionnaire answers were obtained from sixty otolaryngologists in Baghdad.
Results: There was no any enthusiasm for routine intra-operative local anaesthesia. Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) is prescribed by nearly all surgeons for postoperative analgesia,
and the current literature supports its efficacy and safety. Further, some practitioners combine paracetamol with NSAIDs, and/or Tramadol-Opioids. Evidence to support the additional use of these agents is, however non existent or limited. For the use of antibiotics, we found some of the otolaryngologist

Sildenafil has been used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). However it has the disadvantage of many visual disturbances. The aim of this work is to study the effect
of sildenafil on diabetic patients which might have ocular problems due to diabetes mellitus.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 30 subjects were enrolled in the study, they were divided into two groups. The control group consisted of 10 healthy subjects but complaining of ED only and the
other (20 patients) had diabetes mellitus and ED as well. All subjects had ocular tests done before and after sildenafil intake. It was obvious that sildenafil changed visual tests from totally normal for controls, before tre
The genera and species of Liliaceae show a considerable structural diversity of leaves and especially stems. This paper presents a morphological and anatomical study of the leaves and stems of Asphodelus microcarpus. The results showed that the investigated species had typical morphological characters. and also that it could be distinguished from another plant not only by its morphological but anatomical characters as well.
