This field experiment was conducted at Research Station B, Department of Horticulture and Landscape Engineering, College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, University of Baghdad, Jadiriyah during the fall season of 2019-2020 to evaluate the effect of cultivation dates and soil fertilization source on the growth, yield and quality of broccoli. A split plot design within the RCBD design with three replicates was applied as the Max F1 hybrid broccoli seedlings were transferred to the field at two dates 25, Sep. 2019 and 15, Oct. 2019, which were symbolized as A and B, respectively, and occupied at the main plot. After two weeks of cultivation, the soil fertilizers were applied three times during the season in 20 days between each application including Biohealth fertilizer at a rate of 1 and 2 kg per donum, symbolized as T1 , T2 and NPK nano fertilizer at a rate of 250 and 500 ml donum, symbolized as T3 and T4 , as well as the control treatment that was fertilized according to the fertilizer recommendation and symbolized as T0 . This factor was considered the most important (sub plot) and the number of plants per experimental unit reached 15 plants. The results revealed a significant effect under the combination of first cultivation date and the soil application of Biohealth fertilizer at a concentration of 1 kg dunum (AT1) on the leaves content of N and k, leaves number, leaves area, the diameter and weight of the main disc, the total yield, the total soluble solids percent (TSS) and the heads content of beta-carotene, which were recorded 3.96, 2.99%, 41.0 Leaf-1 plant, 227.44 dm2 Plant-1, 74.0 cm, 896.40 gm Plant1 , 37.35 Tons Ha-1, 11.00%, 6.95 mlg 100 gm wet weight-1, respectively, which did not significantly differ from the combination of the first cultivation date and the application of nano-NPK fertilizer at a concentration of 500 ml dunum (AT4) on leaves area, the weight of the main head, and the total yield, which were recorded 212.39 dm2 plant-1 and 884.55 gm plant-1 and 36.85 tons ha- 1, respectively compared to the second date of cultivation and the application of fertilizer recommendation (BT0), which gave 2.33, 1.68%, 34.0 leaves, 139.99 dm2 plant-1, 51.0 cm, 689.23 gm plant-1 and 28.71 tons ha-1, 8.17% and 4.57 mlg 100 gm wet weight-1, respectively.
The dose rate for bremsstrahlung radiation from beta particles with energy (1.710) MeV and (2.28) MeV which comes from (32P and 90Y) beta source respectively have been calculated through six materials (polyethylene, wood, aluminum, iron, tungsten and lead) for first shielding material with thickness (x=1) mm which are putting between beta sources and second shield (polyethylene, aluminum and lead) with thickness (1, 2 &4) mm have been calculated. The distance between beta source and second shield is constant (D=1) cm. This dose rate was found by program called Rad Pro Calculator (version 3.26). The results of dose rate of beta particles were plotted as a function to the atomic number (Z) for first shield materials for each

... Show MoreNine new compounds of 2-amino-5-chlorobenzothiazole derivatives were synthesized. These new compounds were formed through the reaction of 2-amino-5-chlorobenzothiazole 1 with ethyl chloroacetate and KOH, which gave an ester derivative 2, followed by refluxing compound 2 with hydrazine hydrate to afford hydrazide derivative 3. The reaction of compound 3 with CS2 and KOH gave 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol derivative 4, and then the reaction of compound 2 with thiosemicarbazide to produce compound 5 then treated it with 4%NaOH led to ring closure to provide 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol derivative

Show MoreBackground: The fracture of instruments within root canal during endodontic treatment is a common incidence, fracture because of fatigue through flexure occurs due to metal fatigue, this study aimed to assess the effect of curvature angle and rotational speed on the cyclic fatigue of different type of Endodontic NiTi Rotary Instruments and compare among them. Materials and method: Three types of rotary instruments with tip size 0.25: ProTaPer F2 (Densply, Malifier) Revo-S SU( 0.06 taper, MicroMega) and RaCe system (0.06 taper, FKG, Dentaire), Forty file of each instrument were used within two canals with angle of curvature (40 &60 )at two speed (250&400)RPM, twelve group were formed for all instruments(total number=120),ten file fo

The efflux pump system is one of the mechanisms that is linked to multidrug resistance in P. aeruginosa. In this study, we employed siRNA loaded on gold nanoparticles against the MexA efflux pump gene to decrease the MexA gene expression in P. aeruginosa and estimated antibiotic resistance after gene silencing. Materials and Methods: This study examined four strains of P. aeruginosa isolated from patients in various hospitals in Baghdad. Bacteria isolated were identified by biochemical tests and Vitek compact 2 system. Single-stranded siRNA (33bp) designed in this study was loaded onto gold

In this work we study the influence of the laser pulse energy and ablation time on the aluminum nanoparticles productivity during nanosecond laser ablation of bulk aluminum immersed in liquid.
Aluminum nanoparticles were synthesized by pulsed laser ablation of Al targets in ethanol for 3-8 minutes using the 1064 nm wavelength of a Nd:YAG laser with energies of 300-500 mJ per pulse.The laser energy was varied between 300 and 500 mJ/pulse, whereas the ablation time was set to 5 minutes. UV-Visible absorption spectra was used for the characterization and comparison of products.
