Estimation the cancer risk due to ingestion the food spices commonly used in Iraqi kitchen
...Show More Authors
Abstract<p>Spices are natural substances taken from special plants and have a different taste when added to food and some of them have great benefits for health and body. These plants vary from country to country depending on the type of soil and how they are grown and this affects their quality. In this study, the specific activity of <sup>40</sup>K, <sup>238</sup>U and <sup>232</sup>Th series and <sup>137</sup>Cs in some selected natural food spices commonly used in Iraq kitchen were determined using gamma spectrometry and the ingested doses via food consumption were also assessed. The average specific activity of <sup>40</sup>K, <sup>238</sup>U, <sup>232</sup>Th and <sup>137</sup>Cs in the samples are 72.00 Bqkg<sup>−1</sup>, 106.576Bqkg<sup>−1</sup>, 148.74 and 191.88 Bq.kg<sup>−1</sup> respectively. The highest activity concentration of <sup>40</sup>K, <sup>238</sup>U, <sup>232</sup>Th and <sup>137</sup>Cs was recorded in cumin (401.7) for <sup>40</sup>K, laurel paper (260.67) for <sup>238</sup>U, briana spices (733.7) for <sup>232</sup>Th and Chamomile (833.4) for <sup>137</sup>Cs. The maximum value of total annual effective dose received from <sup>40</sup>K, <sup>238</sup>U, <sup>232</sup>Th and <sup>137</sup>Cs due to consumption of natural spices by the inhabitants was 169.83 μSvy<sup>−1</sup>. This value is low compared to the average radiation dose of 290 μSvy<sup>−1</sup> received per caput worldwide due to ingestion the food spices. The excess lifetime cancer risk due to ingestion of radionuclide in food spices was estimated and the values obtained were compared with standards. Based on these results it can be concluded that the foods spices studied in this work do not present any serious radiological effect. Spices are natural substances taken from special plants and have a different taste when added</p>

This group of women carry the burden of carrying out multiple roles and responsibilities at the same time. All this collectively make them more prone to developing anxiety compared to men. In addition, the physiological and psychological nature of women, as females, on top of the other roles in life, like being a wife or mother or daughter or sister, all add extra pressure on women especially for those who are considered as productive working individuals in the society. In order to study the relatio

Analysis of the absorption spectra in the visible and ultraviolet regions of some medical ointments available in Iraqi markets
...Show More Authors

Three types of medical commercial creams Silvazine, Cinolon Tar and Hydroquinon Domina were incorporated in this study. The medical creams were taken directly and placed uniformly on the glass slide. Each type of pharmaceutical was weighed at 1 mg and dispersed on an area of 1x1 cm. This process ensures same thickness for all samples. The creams were analyzed by using double-beam UV/visible spectrophotometer Metertech SP8001. The absorption spectrum for each of samples was measured against wavelength range of 300–700 nm.

Genetic Algorithm Approach for Risk Reduction of Information Security
...Show More Authors

Nowadays, information systems constitute a crucial part of organizations; by losing security, these organizations will lose plenty of competitive advantages as well. The core point of information security (InfoSecu) is risk management. There are a great deal of research works and standards in security risk management (ISRM) including NIST 800-30 and ISO/IEC 27005. However, only few works of research focus on InfoSecu risk reduction, while the standards explain general principles and guidelines. They do not provide any implementation details regarding ISRM; as such reducing the InfoSecu risks in uncertain environments is painstaking. Thus, this paper applied a genetic algorithm (GA) for InfoSecu risk reduction in uncertainty. Finally, the ef
