Ecological observations on two species of Gastropoda (Family Hygromiidae) : Monacha cantiana and Candidula gigaxii In three central Iraq provinces

This study was carried out on two species of the Hygromiidae family Monacha
cantiana and Candidula gigaxii collected from six sites in three central Iraq
provinces (Baghdad , Babylon and Karbala) . A total of 1318 individuals of Monacha
cantiana and 173 of Candidula gigaxii have been examined during the study period
from October 2013 to July 2014.The study included estimation of species relative
abundance, population density and relationship with some physico- chemical
properties of the soil; temperature, moisture and pH.
The Monacha cantiana was present at all sites but with varying numbers, while
Candidula gigaxii was confined to only three sites: Aljadiriyah and Zafaraniya at
Baghdad, and Hindiya dam at Babylon. Results showed that the highest relative
abundance of Monacha cantiana was 60.8% in April 2014 at Al-Al-Hussainia,
Karbala and the lowest was 12.6% in January 2014 at Zafaraniya, Baghdad. The
highest value of relative abundance of Candidula gigaxii was 51.9 % in January 2014
at the Zafaraniya , Baghdad and the lowest value was 7.3 % in March 2014 at Hindiya
dam , Babylon.
Population density of Monacha cantiana showed that highest value was 12.5
individual / m2 in January 2014 at Al-Al-Hussainia, Karbala and the lowest value was
0.8 individual / m2 in October 2013 at Aljadiriyah , Baghdad. Highest population
density of Candidula gigaxii was 13.6 individual / m2 in December 2013 at
Zafaraniya, Baghdad, and the lowest was 0.4 individual / m2 in October 2013 in
Aljadiriyah, Baghdad.
Soil temperature varied between 7and 30 C° in January and July 2014 at Twereje,
Karbala, and Aljadiriyah at Baghdad respectively. Moisture values were between 9
and 33% in July and January 2014 at Alexandria and Hindiya dam, Babylon,
respectively. Values of pH varied from 7.31 to 7.96 in December 2013 and July 2014
at Alexandria, Babylon and Zafaraniya, Baghdad respectively. These results showed
that ecological factors may have affected abundance and population density of the
snails at all of the study sites

The role of the Central Bank of Iraq in housing finance and reducing the housing crisis in Iraq

Finance is an essential element when developing any housing policy because of its role in providing funds to institutions concerned with housing lending. Therefore, the research aims to evaluate the financial aid provided by the Central Bank of Iraq in solving the housing crisis through the adoption of the Central Bank of Iraq initiatives to support the financing of the housing sector, and here The importance of the research is highlighted to determine the role of the initiative by drawing an effective strategy aimed at providing the housing sector with the necessary funding. By providing financing to financial institutions directed towards providing real estate credit, and that the percentage of the contribution of the implement

Anatomical study for leaves and Epidermal properties in Athionema R.BR. species (Brassicaceae) in Iraq.

The research included anatomical study of nine wild species of the genus
Athionema R.BR. from BrassicaceA family in Iraq, and these species are:
A.arabicum (L.), A.carneum (Banks et sol.),A. cordifolium (DC.), A.fimbriatum
(Boiss.),A. froedinii (Rech. F.), A. speciosum (Boiss. et Huet), A. syriacum
(Boiss.),A. grandiflorum (Boiss. et Hoh.) , A.trinervium (D.C.).The research
covered the anatomical characteristic of the leaf Epidermis as well as leaves
venation, also transvers sections for leaves were studied ,and revealed that some
anatomical characteristics have taxonomic importance in distinguishing the species.
This research also showed the presence of important variations in internal charecters
for leaves an

Isolation and Identification of Some Intestinal Parasites Eggs, Cysts and Oocysts From two Species of Diptera: Calliphoridae in Baghdad

  This study documented the role of blowfly Chrysomya  albiceps and Chrysomya megacephala  as carriers of 15 species of intestinal parasites eggs, cysts and Oocysts  as a primary effort of Iraq, by external and internal techniques: 10 species of different parasites were reported in this study that transmitted mechanically by Calliphoridae fly ,eight of them are nematode eggs (Ancylostoma duodenal, Ascaridia sp., Ascaris lumbricoides, Parascaris equirum, Strongyloides stericoralis , Strongylus sp., Trichostrongylus  sp. and Toxocara canis)and cysts of  two species of protozoa ( Entamoba sp.and  Iodomaba butschlii).  Internal technique by stained the fluid gut of flies with Zael Nelson stain, was app

Performance evaluation of coronavirus closure on air quality over central, southern and northern parts of Iraq

When the number of confirmed coronavirus disease cases rose in Iraq in the middle of February 2021, the Iraqi government performed a closure approach to constrain mobility and factory operations and enforce social distancing. In this research, the concentrations of air components (PM2.5, PM10, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ozone (O3)), which represent herein the degree of air quality index, were recorded, drawn and evaluated over central (Baghdad, the capital), northern (Kirkuk Province) and southern (Basra Province) Iraq before and during the closure. The experimental duration of this research was 6 months (from 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021), which

Weibull Parameters and Wind Power Assessment for Three Locations in Iraq

In this research, we built a program to assess Weibull parameters and wind power of three separate locations in Iraq: Baghdad, Basrah and Dhi-qar for two years 2009 and 2010, after collecting and setting the data available from the website "Weather Under Ground" for each of the stations Baghdad, Basrah and Dhi-qar. Weibull parameters (shape parameter and scale parameter) were estimated using maximum likelihood estimation method (MLE) and least squares method (LSM). Also, the annual wind speed frequencies were calculated noting speed most readily available through the above two years. Then, we plotted Weibull distribution function and calculate the most significant quantities represented by mean wind speed, standard deviation of the value

Use of Two Aquatic Snail Species as Bioindicators of Heavy Metals in Tigris River-Baghdad

     Thirty individuals of Bellamya bengalensis and Physella acuta were collected and identified from the Tigris River in Baghdad during the period between October to November 2017. The efficiency of bioaccumulation of the two species as bioindicators for aquatic heavy metal pollution with Cd, Ni, Pb and Cu was investigated. Both snail species had the ability to accumulate heavy metals. The mean of Ni concentration in soft tissues of both snails was 1.53 ppm while the mean concentration of other heavy metals was significantly lower; they reached 0.51 ppm, 0.36 ppm and 0.29 ppm, respectively. While no significant differences between B. bengalensis and  P.acuta were noticed in th

Surface-Subface Geochemical and Mineralogical Study of Gypcrete in Alexandria Area Central Iraq

Gypsiferous soil deposits (Gypcrete) are weakly consolidate earthy mixture of secondary gypsum, sand and clay. It is formed in arid and semi- arid area with annual precipitation rainfall less than 400mm. These sediments occur in surface and subsurface in region of little rainfall and rapid evaporation. This research deals with the study of gypcrete in Alexandria to improve the mineralogical and geochemical properties of the gypcrete. The gypcrete soil is used as raw material to produce the plaster for building purposes. Three samples of gypcrete were chemically and geochemically analyzed. The common mineral is howed in 0-0.5m Gypsum followed by Calcite in 0-1m and Quartz in 1-1.5m due to leaching and infiltration by rainfall as well as it
