Synergistic Effects of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes and SBS on Asphalt Binder Performance
...Show More Authors

The performance and durability of asphalt pavements are strongly influenced by the rheological properties of asphalt binders, particularly under severe climatic and traffic conditions. This study investigates the synergistic effects of incorporating multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) at dosages ranging from 0.25% to 1% into AC 40-50 asphalt binders modified with 4% Styrene–Butadiene–Styrene (SBS). A comprehensive experimental program involving physical, rheological, and chemical characterization tests was conducted, including penetration, softening point, viscosity, storage stability, a Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR), Multiple Stress Creep Recovery (MSCR), Linear Amplitude Sweep (LAS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Glover–Rowe (G-R) analysis. Statistical inference using one-way ANOVA was also conducted to evaluate the significance of differences among the binder formulations investigated. The results showed a continuous increase in binder stiffness with increasing CNT content, as indicated by decreasing penetration values, higher softening points, and increased viscosity. Incorporating 1% CNT reduced the softening-point difference from 3.1 °C to 1.6 °C in SBS-modified binders, indicating improved storage stability. Rheological evaluations showed that 0.75% CNT increased the high-temperature performance grade from 82 °C to 88 °C and provided the best rutting resistance, as indicated by MSCR results. In contrast, the 0.5% CNT formulation exhibited superior fatigue resistance and the lowest Glover–Rowe index, indicating improved cracking resistance and durability. Overall, the findings demonstrate that CNTs can effectively enhance the performance of SBS-modified asphalt binders, with 0.75% CNT being optimal for hot-climate applications, while 0.5% CNT exhibited improved fatigue and cracking resistance under moderate-temperature conditions.

Abstract<p>For the purpose of determining the impact of three levels of nitrogen fertilizer (0, 60, and 120 kg.ha<sup>-1</sup>) and sulfur fertilizer (0, 40, and 60 kg.ha<sup>-1</sup>) on production and growth indicators (number of leaves, number of branches, chlorophyll pigments, and fresh and dry weights), a field experiment was carried out during the winter season (2021/2022) in the fields of Al-Diwaniyah Province, Ministry of Agriculture, Diwaniyah Agriculture Directorate, Al-Nouriyah Forest Division. Means were compared using the least significant difference test (LSD) at a 0.05 level of probability. In a factorial experiment employing a wholly randomized block design wi</p> ... Show More

Effect of Different Conditions on Viability and Antagonistic Activity of Saccharomyces boulardii on Enteric Pathogenic Bacteria
...Show More Authors

In this part of programme , different bacterial isolates mainly Salmonella spp, Shigella spp and Escherichia coli were used for antagonism with Saccharomyces boulardii under different conditions . S.boulardii was grown under aerobic conditions and antagonized with young overnight nutrient broth cultures of test bacterial isolates and other kept in refrigerator for a week after full growth . Young cultures were more susceptible to antagonistic effect of yeast compared to old cultures and on isolates grown on solid medium for 24 hr. S.boulardii grown under aerobic and microaerobic conditions and antagonized with overnight broth cultures of test bacterial isolates , The results revealed that aerobic cultures of yeast had more inhibito

The Effect of Brainstorming on audit Quality and its Reflection on Detecting the Risk of Fraud
...Show More Authors

Brainstorming is one of the fundamental and necessary concepts for practicing the auditing profession, as auditing standards encouraged the implementation of brainstorming sessions to reach reasonable assurance about the validity of the evidence and information obtained by the auditor to detect fraud, as the implementation of brainstorming sessions and the practice of professional suspicion during the audit process lead to increase the quality of auditing and thus raise the financial community's confidence in the auditing profession again after it was exposed to several crises that led to the financial community losing confidence in the auditing profession.
