The experiment was conducted to evaluate and performance comparison for moldboard and disk plows in central of Iraq in 2011. Three factor were used in this study included Two types of plows included moldboard and disk plows which represented main plot , three forward speeds of the tillage was second factor included 1.85, 3.75 and 5.62 km / h which represented sup plot , and three levels of soil moisture was third factor included 21 , 18 and 14 % to determined data actual plow depth , Practical productivity, Volume of disturbed soil, Field efficiency , Slippage percentage in silt clay loam soil with depth 22 cm were studied in the experiment Split – split plot design under randomized complete block design with three replications using Least Significant Design was used . Mold board plough recorded best practical productivity was 0.3118 ha/hr , volume of disturbed soil was 629.77 m3/hr and field efficiency was 59.85 % , while disc plough recorded higher actual plow depth 21.02 cm and slippage percentage was9.71 % . Increasing forward speeds of the tillage from 1.85 to 3.75 then to 5.62 increasing slippage percentage from 6.39 to 8.26 then to 12.22 % , practical productivity from 0.1421 to 0.2845 then to o.4180 ha/hr and volume of disturbed soil from 299.89 to 592.38 then to 838.24 m3/hr , while decreased actual plow depth from 21.13 to 20.86 then to 20.08 cm and field efficiency from 58.98 to 58.21 then to 57.07 % . with decrease soil moisture from 21 to 18 % decrease actual plow depth from 20.92 to 20.70 cm and slippage percentage from 10.58 to 7.29 % , and increase practical productivity from 0.2712 to 0.2923 ha/hr, volume of disturbed soil from 562.01 to 598.98 m3/hr and field efficiency from 55.94 to 60.31 % . While continues decrease from 18 to 14 % decrease actual plow depth from 20.70 to 20.46 cm, practical productivity from 0.2923 to 0.2811, volume of disturbed soil from 598.98 to 569.52 m3/hr and field efficiency from 60.31 to 58.01 % , and increase slippage percentage from 7.29 to 9.00 % .
Municipal solid waste is one of the most important environmental problems in the world and is an important source of environmental pollution and contributes significantly to the pollution of the basic environmental elements of soil, water and air. The management of municipal waste in general is a process of monitoring, collection, treatment or recycling if possible or disposal of waste. This term is used for waste produced by some human activities. States provide this process to mitigate the negative effects of waste on the environment, health and appearance of the city. It is possible to find solutions to the problem of solid waste and make it an important source of income and contribute to securing employment oppor

Baghdad city has been faced numerous issues related to freshwater environment deteriorations due to many reasons, mainly was the discharge of wastewater without adequate treatment. Al- Rustamiya Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) have been constructed among many plants in Baghdad city to reduce the amount of wastewater discharged into natural environment and its subsequent adverse effects. This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of the plant which consist of a conventional activated sludge (CAS) and sequencing batch reactors (SBR) systems as secondary treatment units and its ability to meet Iraqi specifications. A reliability level determination and analysis also were conducted to find the plant's stability and its capabi

In this paper, a relationship between the liquid limit and the coefficient of consolidation of Iraqi soils are studied. The samples of soil used in study are undisturbed silty clay. These samples are taken from different locations and depths of Middle and South of Iraq by cooperation with Consulting Engineering Bureau- University of Baghdad- College of Engineering. The depth reached about 20 meters. The experimental work is made to calculate the liquid limit and the coefficient of consolidation. From these sites, 280 points are obtained. The relationship between the liquid limit and the coefficient of consolidation is drawn as a curve. This curve is studied and compared with the curve that obtained from other studies. From these curves, it

Natural radioactivity of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in the samples was measured by using high purity germanium detectors with an efficiency of 40%. The Specific activity concentration in granite samples ranged from 9.20 to 79.64 Bq/kg, 10.50 to 229.40 Bq/kg and 185.30 to 1391.20 Bq/kg for 226Ra, 232Th and 40K, respectively. The estimated of radiological parameters: radium equivalent activity (Req), activity concentration Index (I) and hazard indices (internal (Hin) and External (H

The well logs were used to characterize hydrocarbon reservoirs to assess the hydrocarbon prospectivity, designate hydrocarbon and water-bearing zones, and determine the Nahr Umr Formation's petrophysical parameters. The Nahr Umr reservoir mainly consists of sandstone at the bottom and has an upper shale zone containing a small proportion of oil. The geophysical logs data from three oil wells include gamma-ray, resistivity, neutron, density, acoustic, and spontaneous potential logs. A gamma-ray log was employed for lithology differentiation, and a resistivity log was used to determine the response of distinct zones
