Restoration of degraded lands by adoption of recommended conservation management practices can rehabilitate watersheds and lead to improving soil and water quality. The objective was to evaluate the effects of grass buffers (GBs), biomass crops (BCs), grass waterways (GWWs), agroforestry buffers (ABs), landscape positions, and distance from tree base for AB treatment on soil quality compared with row crop (RC) (corn [Zea mays L.]–soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] rotation) on claypan soils. Soil samples were taken from 10‐cm‐depth increments from the soil surface to 30 cm for GB, BC, GWW, and RC with three replicates. Soil samples were collected from summit, backslope, and footslope landscape positions. Samples were taken at 50‐ and 150‐cm distances from the tree base. β‐Glucosidase, β‐glucosaminidase, dehydrogenase, fluorescein diacetate hydrolase (FDA), soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), active carbon (AC), and water‐stable aggregates (WSA) were measured. Results showed that β‐glucosidase, β‐glucosaminidase, dehydrogenase, FDA, AC, WSA, and TN values were significantly greater (P < 0.01) for the GB, BC, GWW, and AB treatments than for the RC treatment. The first depth (0–10 cm) revealed the highest values for all soil quality parameters relative to second and third depths. The footslope landscape had the highest parameter values compared with summit and backslope positions. The 50‐cm distance of AB treatment had higher values than the 150‐cm distance for all measured parameters. Results showed that perennial vegetation practices enhanced soil quality by improving soil microbial activity and SOC.
Core Ideas
Permanent vegetative management (trees and grasses) enhanced soil quality.
Perennial practices improved microbial activity and increased soil organic carbon.
Perennial vegetative practices have agricultural and environmental significance.
Establishing perennial practices is an effective approach to enhance soil quality.
Scientific research on the environment of the Iraqi marshes, its beauty and its characteristics is considered one of the most important functions of Iraqi universities and scientific institutions, because of its great historical impact related to the identity of Iraq and the Iraqis and the basis of science and science, through which the first letter and the first human civilizations were established and in the same importance technical research is among the most important functions of departments Institutes and colleges of the arts, research centers and museums inside and outside Iraq. Also, research centers specialized in the natural environment of Iraq, including the marshes. Therefore, it is hoped that this research will develop the a
The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of oral administration of hot aqueous extract of beetle cocoon Larinus maculatus Faldermann, in a two doses 50
and100mg/Kg/Bw for 25 and 45days respect- tively on some organs such as liver, lung, kidney, intestine, heart, spleen, and brain in male mice Mus musculus. The results indicated that there were toxicopathological changes in many tissues of experimental animals. Histo -pathological changes was dose and period dependent . It was found that the aqueous extract of beetle cocoon has undesirable effect at the administered doses, since the raw extract of this cocoon is currently being used in Folk medicine as treatment for cough, bronchitis in Iraq. This study revealed that the l
Abstract<p>Acute lung injury (ALI) is a state of inflammation that breaks down the lung endothelial and epithelial cell barriers. In the current study, we investigated the role of resveratrol (RES) in regulating the expression and functions of tight junction proteins (TJP) in epithelial cell responses following exposure to this superantigen. To this end, C3H mice were given resveratrol orally twice prior to intranasal challenge with lethal SEB doses. 16S rRNA results showed that there were microbes transported in the blood in addition to the lung and colonic tissues. For this purpose, we used a reporter E. coli-GFP labeled bacterium to monitor and examine the viability of this bacterium in case </p>

Sixty urine samples were collected from women with urinary tract infection in different ages. The aims of this
study were determined the dominancy of pathogens isolated from urine of women with UTI and evaluating the
antibacterial activity of Rosmarinus officinalis L. essential oil against these pathogenic isolates. Identification of
bacteria was done on Chromogenic orientation agar while disc diffusion method was used for determination the
sensitivity of bacterial isolates to antibiotics and Agar well diffusion method was used for evaluation the
antibacterial effect of Rosemary essential oil on these isolates. The results showed that 50% of women infected
with Escherichia coli, it was dominants in ages above 15 years old while Staphyl
Two years field experiment was carried out at Agricultural Fields, College of Agriculture,
Baghdad University, Al-Jadriya during 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 to determine the effect of
salinity of irrigation water on growth and grain yield of three oat cultivars. The experiments
were laid out according to randomized complete blocks design having split plot arrangements
with two factors; first factor included three oat cultivars (Shifaa, Hamel and Pimula) while
the second factor included three levels of salinity of irrigation water (3, 6 and 9 dS.m-1
) in
addition to the control (river water with salinity level of 1.164 dS.m-1
) with three replicates.
Results revealed a significant effect of salinity of irrigation water on all studied traits. Mea

The objective of this research was to study the effect of physical exertion training on bio-kinetic abilities in weightlifting among students of Physical Education and Sports Sciences. The present study had a pre-posttest experimental design in which participants were recruited in two groups: experimental group and control group. A total of 30 students of Physical Education and Sports Sciences constituted the sample of the study. The sample selection was done by a comprehensive inventory method. Participants were equally allocated into two groups with n=15 in each group. Participants of experimental group were made to perform special physical exercises with three training units per week during eight weeks. The statisti
Background: There is a pronounced controversy regarding the dental and mental consequences of thumb sucking habit, which
is a familiar nonnutritive pattern of sucking. Commonly, this behavior is harmless, yet those who sustain this pattern may have
dental alterations and emotional difficulties. Children’s intelligence level influences their capabilities to judge, evaluate and handle
priorities and/or problems profoundly and precisely. Thumb sucking habit might be a manner of liberating the psychological
tenseness among several children.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of thumb sucking habit and its relation to the eruption of permanent
teeth and IQ among children aged 6-7 years old.

Rooting response in stem cuttings of mung bean increased considerably with inresing seedling age, due to endogenous IAA or supplied IBA. However, after the day 7- or 8-old of seedling age. The cotyledons sheivel and drop-off spontaneously at day-8 of seedling age. So that cotyledons excision after cuttings were made during the period between seedling emergence (the day 4) and cotyledons dropping off (which starts at day 8 and its completion at day 10) causes decrease in rooting at any time during cutting treatment ,in particular, at zero time . In addition, results of this study revealed that terminal buds do not influence significantly adventitious root formation whether IBA supplied or not. Whereas in leafless c
