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 study aims to use the European Excellence Model (EFQM) in assessing the institutional performance of the National Center for Administrative Development and Information Technology in order to determine the gap between the actual reality of the performance of the Center and the standards adopted in the model, in order to know the extent to which the Center seeks to achieve excellence in performance to improve the level of services provided and the adoption of methods Modern and contemporary management in the evaluation of its institutional performance.
The problem of the study was the absence of an institutional performance evaluation system at the centre whereby weaknesses (areas of improvement) and st

One of the applications involve within this project for storage media is heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR). The objective of this study is to simulate the behavior of thermal gradient to generate a pure spin current using an ultrafast femtosecond (fs) laser in a nano-sized multilayered structure of (Al2O3/Ni81Fe19 (Py)/Cu/Y3Fe5O12 (YIG)/Gd3Ga5O12 (GGG)) at room temperature. A ferromagnetic/spacer/magnetic insulator nano-sized multilayered is the proposed structure f

Show MoreThis work investigates the impacts of eccentric-inclined load on ring footing performance resting on treated and untreated weak sandy soil, and due to the reduction in the footing carrying capacity due to the combinations of eccentrically-inclined load, the geogrid was used as reinforcement material. Ring radius ratio and reinforcement depth ratio parameters were investigated. Test outcomes showed that the carrying capacity of the footing decreases with the increment in the eccentric-inclined load and footing radius ratio. Furthermore, footing tilt and horizontal displacement increase with increasing the eccentricity and inclination angle, respectively. At the same time, the increment in the horizontal displacement due t

In this study light elements 10B , 10Be for 10B(n,p)10Be reaction as well as proton energy from 0.987 MeV to 2.028 MeV with threshold energy (1.04MeV) are used according to the available data of reaction cross sections. The more recent cross sections data of 10Be(p,n)10B reaction is reproduced in fin steps in the specified energy range , as well as cross section (p,n) values were derived from the published data of (n,p) as a function of energy in the same fine energy steps by using the reciprocity theory of principle inverse reaction . This calculation involves only the first excited state of 10B , 10Be in the reactions 10Be(p,n)10B and 10B(n,p)10Be.
The aim of this study is to show the concepts of nuclear shape and the geometrical picture to the even-even nuclei of 164,166,168E isotopes in the context of the Interacting boson Model IBM-1. The energy spectra were calculated and the effective charge values (eB) of the electromagnetic transition strength were obtained and used to calculate the B(E2) values of the electromagnetic transitions and the quadrupole moment Q of 2+ -states. The Hamiltonian parameters were calculated by taking in account the properties of these nuclei. Comparison were made with the available experimental data and included in tables. The geometrical picture of these nuclei were looked at by calculating the deformation which were represented by the potentia

In one work we applied this method for two cases, the first one is for pure transition and the sacend one is for non pure transition, We take into account the experimental a2-coefficient for previous works and δ -values for one transition only.The results obtained are, in general, in a good agreement within associated errors, with those reported previously , the discrepancies that occur are due to inaccuracies existing in the experimental data of the previous works.
A new compound 2-(4-methoxyphcnyl)-5-(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-
oxadiazole (VI) was prepared by intramol ecular condensation reaction followed by elimination of some simple moieties such as IhO and HCI by using POCI3 with acid hydrazide. A series of new ShiffsÂ
