Electroencephalogram Based Biomarkers for Detection of Alzheimer’s Disease
...Show More Authors

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an age-related progressive and neurodegenerative disorder, which is characterized by loss of memory and cognitive decline. It is the main cause of disability among older people. The rapid increase in the number of people living with AD and other forms of dementia due to the aging population represents a major challenge to health and social care systems worldwide. Degeneration of brain cells due to AD starts many years before the clinical manifestations become clear. Early diagnosis of AD will contribute to the development of effective treatments that could slow, stop, or prevent significant cognitive decline. Consequently, early diagnosis of AD may also be valuable in detecting patients with dementia who have not obtained a formal early diagnosis, and this may provide them with a chance to access suitable healthcare facilities. An early diagnosis biomarker capable of measuring brain cell degeneration due to AD would be valuable. Potentially, electroencephalogram (EEG) can play a valuable role in the early diagnosis of AD. EEG is noninvasive and low cost, and provides valuable information about brain dynamics in AD. Thus, EEG-based biomarkers may be used as a first-line decision-support tool in AD diagnosis and could complement other AD biomarkers.

The reality of the application of cost accounting system in the contracting institutions in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia
...Show More Authors

The study aimed to identify the reality of the application of cost accounting system in the contracting institutions in Saudi Arabia, and the extent of the reflection of the application of this system on the effectiveness and efficiency of the general performance of these institutions. Where the research community consists of the contracting institutions operating in the Saudi Arabia, and then a suitable random sample was selected from seventy one institutions. The researchers used the historical method to track the previous studies as well as the descriptive approach to conducting the field study. The study data were analyzed by SPSS statistical program.

The results of this study conclude that there is a

Estimation of Groundwater recharge by groundwater level fluctuation method of Dibdibba aquifer at ‎Karbala- Najaf plateau, central of Iraq
...Show More Authors

Groundwater recharge estimation is essential for management of groundwater systems.  As groundwater is a vital source of water for domestic and agricultural activities in the study area (Karbala - Najaf plateau), ‎where the Dibdibba aquifer represents the primary and essential aquifer, evaluation of groundwater recharge is critical in the study area. A wide range of methodologies exists for estimating recharge.‎ ‎The water-table fluctuation method strategy might be the most generally utilized system for estimating recharge; it requires learning of changes in water levels over time and specific yield. Advantages of this approach include its simplicity and an insensitivity to the mechanism by which water moves through the unsatu

Determination of the effect of stress on the salivary cortisol level among sample of university students having myofacial pain
...Show More Authors

Background: Psychological stress is considered the major etiological factor precipitating myofacial pain and temporomandibular disorders.It is known that stress induce various adaptational responses of physiologic systems. The process includes increase in the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis which promotes cortisol secretion. Salivary cortisol has been used as a measure of free circulating cortisol levels.The use of salivary biomarkers has gained increased popularity since collecting samples is non-invasive and painless. The aim of thisstudy was to evaluate the level of cortisol in saliva among sample of university students having myofacial pain, during the final exam period and whether this finding could have a significa

Theoretical Study of the Effects Type of Host’s Crystal on the Lasing Output of High – Power Thin –Disk Laser
...Show More Authors

Ytterbium-doped (Y2O3), (Sc2O3) and (YAG) crystals are very important for high-power thindisk lasers. These lasers have shown their ability to operate quasi-three-level materials with high
efficiency as well as high thermal conductivity ratio for crystalline hosts. All these reasons have
required studying this type of laser. In the present work, the analytical solution was found for the
equation of laser output power, pumping threshold power, and efficiency of a quasi-three-level
thin disk laser. The numerical solution of these equations was also found through the Matlab
program at the fundamental transverse mode, at a temperature of 299K0
and with high pumping
capabilities in order to know the e

Evaluation of the effect of sodium fluoride addition on some mechanical properties of heat cure acrylic denture base materials
...Show More Authors

Background: The geriatric patients wearing removable partial dentures are increasing in proportion. At the same time, the root caries prevalence accompanied by gingival recession is increasing. A variety of vehicles can deliver fluoride into the oral cavity, including fluoride mouth-rinse, fluoride dentifrice, topical fluoride, and fluoride-releasing restorative materials, all of which effectively prevent root caries and suppress recurrent caries. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of sodium fluoride addition on some mechanical properties of heat cure acrylic denture base material. Material and method: A total of 90 samples were prepared in this study, then divided into three main groups according to the type of test used (hardness, te
