To investigate the effect of electric shock (ES) on morphological variations of faba bean traits, seeds of three varieties of the crop were germinated. When radical was 2-5 mm, seedling were soaked in a 1% NaCl solution for 3h, then transferred to glass container with same solution. Wire with two polar were connected to the container solution and AC current 220 V was switched on for 3,6 and 9 minutes. Seedling then washed and planted at the field in winter 2010-2011,. Factorial Experiment was arranged in randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replicates were used. Seeds were collected first season of treatments, including the treatment comparison and then planted in the winter season of 2011-2012.The results obtained in the first season causing morphological variations in most of the traits, electric shock for 9 minutes gave less day to flowering was 81.21 days, increase number of pods/plant 23.94 pod , number of seeds / pod 4.23 seed and seeds yield was 3716.42 kg/ha. Shock for 3 minutes early the flowering of plants in the second season was 74.16 days and the number of branches / plant 13.66 Branch ,number of pods / plant 14.5 Pod and gave the highest height of the plant 76.92 and 62.12 cm for both seasons, respectively. While shock for 6 minutes gave the highest seed weight in the second season, which not differ significantly with treatment comparison was also, characterized with superiority in the percentage of protein in the first season (23.1%).The Zaina variety was earlier in flowering (77.91 and 78.87 days) for the first and second seasons respectively, also gave the highest number of pods/ plant 24.91 in the first season, and highest number of seeds/pod 3.98 and 2.83 seed for two seasons and which did not differ significantly from other varieties Aguadulce and Local respectively and exceed seeds yield in the first season was 3433.99 kg / ha. Aguadulce variety was superior in plant height for two seasons77.91 and 62.12 cm, respectively. Local variety , gave highest percentage of protein which did not differ significantly with Aguadulce variety reached to 22.26 and 22.25% respectively, and in the second season showed the highest number of branches / plant 13.5 and number of pods/ plant 14.12 Pod. The interaction between the varieties and shocking treatments were significant, as given in Aguadulce variety for 9 minutes in the first season gave the highest seeds yield was 4261.02 kg / ha, while in the second season Local variety showed the highest seeds yield was 4873 kg/ha in a period of 6 minutes shock also the interaction in the first season with 6-minute period of shock was significant only in the percentage of protein was 23.98 and 23.38% for the varieties Aguadulce and Local respectively, and protein yield of Local variety was 1110.28 kg / ha in the second season. In conclusion different varieties gave different responses to period of ES indicating that one period of ES could not be recommended for all varieties due to differences in response .
The integral breadth method has been utilized to analyse line
proIiles broadening and lattice strain of CaO at different temperatures
The effect of tcmperattre on crystallite size and strain has also been investigated . The crystall i tes are found to be highly anisotropic even at high temperatures
The present research aims to present a theoretical framework for the application of takaful insurance in Iraq, as well as to identify the level of impact on the development of insurance services in the Iraqi market, and to make recommendations and suggestions that lead to increased interest in this area, and thus contribute to the development and integration of insurance service in the Iraqi market,
The research adopted the descriptive analytical method, and the questionnaire was used to survey the opinions of the research sample consisting of department managers and their assistants and some employees of the graduate degrees in addition to employees of the departments of electronic calculator in the Iraqi insurance sector, and t
... Show MoreBackground: Calcium hydroxide and calcium-silicate materials used as direct pulp capping materials. The aims of this in vitro study is to compare among these materials in, the calcium ion release and pH change in soaking water after immersion of materials’ specimens in deionized water. Also Solubility and water sorption of materials’ specimens measured after soaking time. Calcium-silicate materials used were Biodentine, TheraCal and MTA Plus. Materials and methods: Four materials used in this study; Urbical lining (as control group), Biodentine, TheraCal and MTA Plus. Ten discs fabricated from each tested material, by using plastic moulds of 9 mm diameter and 1 mm thickness. Each specimen was immersed in 10 ml of d

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common and major opportunistic human pathogen, its causes many and dangersinfectious diseases due to death in some timesex: cystic fibrosis , wounds inflammation , burns inflammation , urinary tract infection , other many infections otitis external , Endocarditis , nosocomial infection and also causes other blood infections (Bacteremia). thereforebecomes founding fast and exact identification of P. aeruginosafrom samples culture very important.However, identification of this species may be problematic due to the marked phenotypic variabilitydemonstrated by samples isolates and the presence of other closely related species. To facilitate species identification, we used 16S ribosomal DNA(rRNA) sequence data

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative aging disease, with idiopathic PD being most common. Gastrointestinal tract disorders (GITD) and microbiota changes may trigger idiopathic PD. Neurotoxins from microbiota can travel from the gut to the brain via the brain-gut axis (BGA), leading to α-syn protein misfolding and dopaminergic neuron death. Methods: The aim of the current study was to investigate the link between PD and GITD by measuring several biochemical and immunological markers in 142 patients. The biochemical markers measured were vitamins B6, B12, and D, calcium, serotonin, ghrelin, dopamine, and α-syn protein. The immunological markers included transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), tu

Background: Tap waters play an important role in fulfilling the people needs for drinking and domestic purposes. Contaminate the tap water with different pollutants has become an issue of great concern for 90% of people who are depended on the tap water as the main source of drinking. Pollutants can make their way easily into the delivering pipes which suffer from the leaking resulting in decreasing the quality of water. Objective: Therefore, assess the water quality for drinking purpose by calculating the water quality index is an important tool to ascertain whether the water is suitable for human consumption or not. Methods: In the present work, the water quality of the Al-Salam, western region of Baghdad city, Iraq was investigated for 7

A new speed and sensitive batch and merging zones-flow injection analysis spectrophotometric ways for estimation of captopril in a fine material and in pharmaceutical formulations were suggested. The procedure was depended on the decline of Fe(III) as FeCl3 to Fe(II) by captopril in acetic acid as medium, the produced Fe(II) interplays with 1,10-phenanthroline to compose a soluble orange-red colored product that is determined at maximum wave length of 511nm. The manifold FIA system was able to determine of CPL. with a throughput 51 sample/h.
