The present work aimed to examine the nature and degree of the cross-correlations among three different ionospheric indices: these are Optimum Working Frequency (OWF), Highest Probable Frequency (HPF), and Best Usable Frequency (BUF). VOCAP and ASASPS models were adopted to determine the datasets of the selected ionospheric indices. The determination was made for different transceiver stations that provide certain HF connection links during the minimum and maximum years of solar cycle 24, 2009 and 2014, respectively. Matlab program was implemented to produce the geodesic parameters for the selected transceiver stations. The determination was made for different path lengths (500, 1000, 1500, and 2000) Km and bearings (0o, 45o, 90o ........ 315o). Different correlation methods were used to examine the best determination coefficient values between the tested parameters. A third-order polynomial equation was set as the best correlation method that gave a better description for the correlation among the tested parameters. The proposed mathematical correlation equations were used to predict the seasonal values of the (HPF, OWF and BUF) parameters. The proposed equations were verified by comparing their values with the observed datasets during the study years. Also, the predicted values were tested using different statistical methods, which gave good results for all tested cases. يهدف العمل الحالي إلى دراسة طبيعة ودرجة الترابط بين ثلاثة مؤشرات آيونوسفيرية مختلفة وهي (HPF,OWF and BUF), تم استخدام نماذج VOCAP و ASASPS لحساب قيم البيانات للمؤشرات الآيونوسفيرية المختارة. اجريت الحسابات لمحطات الإرسال / الاستقبال المختلفة التي توفر روابط اتصال عالية التردد خلال سنوات الصغرى والعظمى للدورة الشمسية 24 (2009 و 2014) على التوالي. تم تنفيذ برنامج Matlab لايجاد قيم المعلمات الجيوديسية لمحطات الإرسال / الاستلام لأطوال مسافات مختلفة (500، 1000، 1500 و 2000) كم واتجاهات مختلفة(0o, 45o, 90o ........ 315o). تم تطبيق طرق ارتباطية مختلفة لاختبار افضلها بين المعاملات المختبرة . تم اقتراح معادلات رياضية متعددة الحدود (الدرجة الثالثة) كأفضل طريقة تصف القيم الارتباطية بين المعاملات المحددة لغرض الدراسة. تمكنت المعادلات المقترحة من التنبؤ بالقيم الموسمية للمؤشرات ((HPF و(OWF) و (BUF).و تم التحقق منها من خلال مقارنتها مع قيم المعلمات المرصودة خلال سنوات الدراسة . كما تم اختبار القيم المتوقعة باستخدام طرق إحصائية مختلفة والتي قدمت نتائج جيدة لجميع الحالات المختبرة
Background: Practicing self-medication is common and a worrisome issue because of irrational drug use. This study aimed to evaluate self-medication knowledge and views among the final year pharmacy students in Iraq. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from December 2018 to January 2019. A pre-validated and self-administered questionnaire was recruited to survey pharmacy students at the University of Baghdad and Al-Rafedain University College. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20 (SPSS v. 20) software used to save and analyze the data. Results expressed as numbers and percentages. Results: A total of 344 students (response rate: 94.24%) with a mean age of 22.10 years includ

Show MoreBackground: Undergraduate dental students are more susceptible to situations of stress that affected quality of sleep, such profiles of stress may result in sleep bruxism and/or awake bruxism, parafunctions that can affect oral and general health. The aim of the study was to evaluate the association of sleep bruxism, awake bruxism and sleep quality among dental students. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was performed including 260 Iraqi dental students from university of Baghdad aged from 20to25years old. Students enrolled in the third and fifth class participated in the study. The Pittsburgh Sleep Questionnaire Index (PSQI) was used for data collection. The PSQI was distributed during lecture classes. Sleep bruxism and awake

Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted between 1st January and 15th April 2014 in the three biggest maternity teaching hospitals. The study population included all the midwives (n=53) working in delivery rooms. Data were collected through interview with midwives. Results: The Midwives stated the followings as complications of episiotomy: tear into the rectum muscle or rectum itself (52.8%), bleedi
Background: Dental anomalies are abnormal tooth condition occurs due to certain genes or environmental factor disturb tooth development during morphodifferentiation stages, affecting group of teeth or entire dentition. The aim of the study is to evaluate the frequency of occurrence of dental anomalies among dental student. Materials and Methods: Three hundred dental students with age ranged (18-23 years) were examined clinically and radiographically searching for dental anomalies in shape, number and position. Results: Only 25 students (8.3 %) from the total sample (300) had dental anomalies, female form the higher percentage of anomalies (about 68%) compared to male (32%). The age group (22 years) which was the larger group had a higher

Background: Mental health of children has recently been
receiving increased attention in many parts of the world.
However, such attention has been lacking in developing
countries, particularly in the form of systematic research
Aim: The study aimed to find out the frequency of
behavior disorders in a sample of primary school children
and the different social and demographic factors that might
be related to this disorder.
Methods: The study is a cross-sectional one that included
918 primary school pupils in both urban and rural areas of
Baghdad. Rutter's questionnaire teacher's version was used
to assess the pupils, and the demographic data was obtained
by special questionnaire sent to the parents to be
This paper introduces a complete design and simulation of a controller for the double fed induction generator (DFIG) turbine. The work also included the solar updraft tower (SUT) design to supply Al-Mahmoudia hospital in Baghdad/Iraq. The design includes the daily average load estimation, annual solar irradiance and, temperature monitoring, and logging.
According to the data obtained from the Ministry of Science and Technology, Baghdad has low wind speed. Therefore, the (SUT) has been designed to generate electrical power depending on the difference between the external and internal air temperature. The temperature difference will generate a suitable airspeed to drive the wind turbine, connected to the proposed (DFIG) generators
