The quantitative determination of the estrogen E2, Progestron P4 & follicle stimulating hormones FSH in the serums of Albino mice used in the experiments & treated by crude alcoholic extracted 95% of the seeds & leaves of Apium graveolens was a significant increase in the concentration of estrogen of different kinds of the extracted in comparison with the values of the coefficient of the control group, that is the study recorded a significant increase of the concentration of estrogen; it was the highest in the mice which was administrated by the methanolic extracted 95%, then it was less in the mouse which was administrated by the ethanolic extracted., and it was the least in the mice which were administrated by the crude ethanolic-methanoloic extracted of the seeds of Apium graveolens; while the increase of the concentration of estrogen of different crude alcoholic extracted leaves of Apium graveolens was the highest than the extracted of the seeds, & it was less concentration in the mice which were administrated by the methanolic extracted 95%, & then it was the least in the mice which were administrated by the crude ethanolic-methanolic extracted leaves of Apium graveolens in comparison with the values of the control group. Further, the plant extracted created a significant increase of the concentration of progestron P4; the statistics analysis recorded that the concentration of progestron was the highest in the mice which were administrated by the methanolic extracted 95%, then it was less in the mice which were administrated by the ethanolic extracted 95%, and the least in the mice which were administrated by the crude ethanolic-methanolic extracted of the seeds of apium graveolens whereas, a significant increase of the concentration of progrstrone was recorded in the leaves of Apium graveolens as follows: it was the highest in the mice which were administrated by the ethanolic extracted 95%, then it was less in the mice which were administrated by the crude methanolic extracted 95%, and it was the least in the mice which were administrated by the crude ethnolic-methanolic extracted in comparison with the coefficient of control group. The study also proved that there was a significant increase of the concentration of the follicle stimulating hormone FSH whose greatest concentration in the mice which was administrated by the crude ethanolic-methanolic for the seeds of Apim graveolens, it was less concentration in the mice which was administrated by crude methanolic extracted 95% of the seeds, and it was the least in the mice which was administrated by the methanolic extracted 95% of the leaves of Apium graveolens in comparison with the concentrations of the coefficient of the control group. While, the results recorded a significant decrease of the FSH in the mice which was administrated by the crude ethanolic extracted of the seeds & leaves of Apium graveolens a highest decrease, it was less concentration in the mice which was administrated by the crude ethanolic-methanolic extracted of the leaves of apium graveolens, in comparison with the concentration in the control group.
Reuse of spent hydrodesulphurization (HDS) of middle petroleum fractions catalyst CoMo/γAl2O3 was accomplished via removal of coke and contaminants such as vanadium, Iron, Nickel, and sulfur. Three processes were adopted; extraction, leaching, decoking. Soluble and insoluble coke was removed. Leaching step used three different solvents (oxalic acid, ammonium peroxydisulfate and oxalic acid + H2O2) in separate in order to remove contaminant metals (V, S, Ni and Fe).
The effect of soluble coke removal on leaching step was studied. It was found that the removal of soluble coke significantly enhances the leaching of contaminants and barely affected the removal of active metals
... Show MoreThermal conductivity of compacted bentonite is one of the most important properties where this type of clay is proposed for use as a buffer material. In this study, Lee's disc method was used to measure the thermal conductivity of compacted bentonite specimens. The experimental results have been analyzed to observe the three major factors affecting the thermal conductivity of bentonite buffer material. While the clay density reaches to a target value, the measurement is taken to evaluate the thermal conductivity. By repeating this procedure, a relationship between clay dry density and thermal conductivity has been established in specimens after adjusting the water contents of the bentonite by placing its specimens in a drying oven for diffe
... Show MoreThis study was carried out to investigate the effects of magnetized water on accumulated infiltration depth. A test rig was designed and constructed for this purpose was installed at the water tests laboratory of the Department of Water Resources Engineering at the University of aghdad. The investigation was carried out by using two types of soil, different flow velocities throughout magnetizing device and different configuration of magnets over and under the water passage of the magnetizing device. The soils that were used in the experiments are clayey and sandy soils. Six different flow velocities throughout magnetizing device ranged between 0.29 to 1.19 cm/s and ten configurations of arranging the magnets over and under th

The result is not history, as an accurate record of actual events, but fiction in which an earlier age is rendered through the personal joys and sufferings of characters. This paper
aims at investigating the historical realities presented in Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities.
The present study aims to study the content and spatial distribution of lead (Pb) contamination in the soils of some Baghdad cities (Middle of Iraq). Twenty soil samples were randomly collected from different land-use in the studied area at a depth between 5 to 30 cm. Ten samples are collected from Al-Rissafa side areas (Adhamiya, Al-Wazeeria (Battery Manufacturer), Shikh Omer, Ziyouna, Karada, Shaab, Sadr city, Al-Za’franiya, Al-Dora expressway, and Alselikh ) and other ten samples are collected from Al-Krakh side areas Al-Dora, Al-Masafi junction, Al-Dora, Sayidia, Al-Salam university college, Al-Bayaa (Industrial District), Jehad, Amirya, Abu Ghraib, Al-hurriya, and Kadhimiya. The soil samples have been analyzed for the lead (P

newborns.
Methodology : A descriptive study was conducted on (100) pregnant women who where admitted to
labor room in Al- Yarmock Teaching Hospital/Maternity Units, Fatima Al- Zahra and Ibn-Al Baladi
Maternity and Pediatric Hospital. The questionnaire was consisted of pregnant women
socio-demographic data, reproductive data and fear items of labor. Data were collected by using a
questionnaire format, through interview technique and reviewing pregnant records, descriptive and
inferential statistical procedure were used to analyze the data.
