Field and laboratory experiments were conducted during the course of study to
test if the sunflower residues along or with 50% full rate of trifluralin herbicide has
any impact on mycorrhizal association and soil nitrification which are important
processes for improving growth and productivity of crops. Results revealed that
incorporation of sunflower residues significantly increased spores number at 2, 4
and 6 weeks of residue decomposition compared to control treatment. However,
when the residues applied in combination with reduced rate of trifluralin herbicide,
sporulation was appreciably decreased by sunflower residues at 3 t ha-1 but it
remains almost the same at 6 t ha-1 rate of residues. Field soil amended with label
rate of trifluralin showed lower sporulation during the first six weeks from
beginning of the experiment. Colonization rate was appreciably increased by
application of sunflower residues at 6 t ha-1 and decreased by label rate of herbicide
and weed free treatments. The highest colonization intensity (83.4) was recorded by
application of sunflower residues at 6 t ha-1, followed by treatment of sunflower
residues at 3 t ha-1 (72.2). Label rate of herbicide recorded the least colonization
intensity (54.4). Incorporation of sunflower residues at 3 and 6 t ha-1 significantly
reduced nitrification rate at all incubation periods in comparison to control.
However, when the residues was applied along with the reduced rate of herbicide,
nitrification rate was significantly increased over the sole application of sunflower
residues at all incubation periods except 4 and 8 days incubation periods but it
remains below control. Soil sterilization treatment showed the least nitrification rate
at all incubation periods. In all bioassay experiments, the amounts of NH4
+
converted
in the incubated soil was significantly correlated with the amount of NO3
- produced
over the periods of incubation suggesting that soil incubation is efficient method that
can be used for measuring nitrification process.It can conclude Sunflower residues
amended in field soil was found to provide a good medium for growing Glomus
mosseae fungus and best way to inhibited nitrification rate and thus may contribute
in alleviating losses of NO3 used by plants and reducing the environmental
pollution.
Kefir is fermented milk made from kefir grains consist mainly of lactic acid bacteria and yeast, it has several health-promoting properties, such as antimicrobial ,antitumoral, and immunomodulating effects. However, there are few scientific reports about the effects of kefir on parasites. This work, studied the biological activity of kefir fermented against Entamoeba histolytica parasite in mice at concentration (100% and 50%) compared with the metronidazole (flagyl) drug at concentration (30 mg\ml). The results showed that infected mice treated with kefir(100% and 50%) complete the eradication of parasite after (6th and 8th day) respectively post inoculation while in metronidazole treated group the complete the eradication occur after (

Fluorine-19 is a cosmically rare isotope that is generated in a series of reactions. The aim in this paper is to perform theoretical calculations to test the variance of neutron intensity generated within stellar conditions, especially in Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars, on the production of 19F isotope. EMPIRE II program has been utilized with the aid of many Matlab programs, and experimental comparisons have been made with NACRE II and Reaclib libraries. The results has shown that the high abundances of reactant nuclei responsible for ultimately generating

Show MoreThe current study aims to determine the extent of SOMO's interest in governance and whether this interest is sufficient to be reflected in enhancing its organizational reputation, and the field of research was in the oil marketing company SOMO. (109), (105) questionnaires were distributed, (94) forms and (11) forms were not retrieved, and the valid questionnaires had reached (91). The analytical and descriptive approach was used for the study, and the current research has found a positive impact of government on the reputation of the organization, and this research demonstrated the existence of the proposed relationship and the impact between governance and the reputation of the organization.
In this paper, we define two operators of summation and summation-integral of q-type in two dimensional spaces. Firstly, we study the convergence of these operators and then we prove Voronovskaya- type asymptotic formulas for these operators.
The adsorption of zirconium, on manganese dioxide from nitric
acid solutions has been studied as a function of shaking time, concentration of electrolytes, concentration of adsorbate and temperature effects (25- 90°C).
Four hours of shaking was appropriate to ensure that the
adsorption plateau was reached and the adsorption of zirconium decrease with an increase in nitric acid concentration. The limiting adsorption capacities at 3 molar nitric acid was 0.2 Zr per mole of Mn02. Working at elevated temperature was in favour

To explain the effect of air temperatures on stiffness of asphalt concrete, it is necessary to determine the distribution of temperatures through the pavement asphalt concrete layers. In this study, the distribution of pavement temperatures at three depths (2cm,7cm, 10cm) below the pavement surface is determined by using the temperature data logger instrument. A relationship for determining pavement temperature as related to depth and air temperature has been suggested. To achieve the objective of this thesis, the prepared specimens have been tested for indirect tension in accordance with

Show MoreIntroduction The pathophysiology of appendicitis likely stems from obstruction of the appendiceal orifice leading to an increase in intraluminal and intramural pressure, resulting in small vessel occlusion and lymphatic stasis. Organ supplied by an end artery, such as the appendix, are more prone to the deleterious effects of arterial occlusion. The continuous cigarette smoking might be associated with a greater risk for developing atherosclerosis.
Objectives The aim is to evaluate the effect of cigarette smoking on the incidence of complications of acute appendicitis.

Porous silicon (P-Si) has been produced in this work by photoelectrochemical (PEC) etching process. The irradiation has been achieved using diode laser of (2 W) power and 810 nm wavelength. The influence of various irradiation times on the properties of P-Si material such as P-Si layer thickness, surface aspect, pore diameter and the thickness of walls between pores as well as porosity and etching rate was investigated by depending on the scanning electron micrograph (SEM) technique and gravimetric measurements.
