Background: Using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, body fat mass has been determined. The assessment of body fat mass was conducted utilizing dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry analysis of the pelvis and vertebral column. While it is acknowledged that osteoporosis can impact both body fat mass and bone mineral density, the particulars of this relationship currently remain uncertain. Objective: The aim of the present investigation is to assess gender differences in the effects of osteoporosis on the body fat mass of the upper and lower extremities. Method: 170 individuals participated (85 males and 85 females) in this study. Patients who presented with bone discomfort consisted of 40 males and 40 females. In addition, 90 apparently healthy volunteers, consisting of 45 males and 45 females, were studied and considered to constitute the control group. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was utilized to determine the bone mineral density and body fat mass of every participant for all body parts. Results: Statistically significant disparities in body fat mass were observed between males and females, as well as between the control group and patients diagnosed with osteoporosis. Conclusions: Our results indicate that the patients with osteoporosis showed an increase in body fat mass (for both sexes). Other results obtained from this research revealed that females were more frequently suffering from osteoporosis than males.
A description of the theoretical of the reorganization energies have been described according to the outer-sphere Marcus model .It is a given expression according this model unable to evaluate the reorganization energy for electron transfer at liquid /liquid interface. The spherical model approach have been used to evaluate the radius of donor and acceptor liquid alternatively .Theoretical results of the reorganization free energy for electron transfer at liquid/liquid interface system was carried out . Matlap program is then used to calculate ð¸0 for electron transfer reaction between water donor stated and many liquid acceptor state. This shows a good agreement with the experiment. The results

... Show MoreLipase was extracted by Sodium acetate buffer (pH=6; 0.05M) Containing 0.1M NaCl. Enzyme content of crude extract was concentrated by gradual addition of ammonium sulfate at 30-60% saturation. The dialyzed extract was purified on ion-exchange chromatography through DEAE–Cellulose and gel-filtration chromatography through sephacryl S-200 column. The specific activity, enzyme yield and fold purification were 54.06 unit/mg, 42.6% and 10.88 respectively. The molecular weight of the Lipase was 43.651 KDa as determined by gel-filtration chromatography through sephacryl S-200 column. Partial purified lipase used for the improvement of the flavor of butter fat after 12 hours for storage.
In southern Iraq, the Yamama Formation has been a primary carbonate resource since the Lower Cretaceous era. This study covers Siba Field, which is located in southeastern Iraq. This paper will be devoted to a YC unit of study. The most crucial step in reservoir management is petrophysical characterization. The primary goal of this research is to assess the reservoir features and lithology of the Yamama (YC) Formation in the Siba region. Accessible excellent logs include sonic, density, neutron, gamma-ray, SP, and resistivity readings. The Interactive Petrophysics (IP4.4) program examined and estimated petrophysical features such as clay volume, porosity, and water saturation. The optimum approach was the neutron density and clay vo
