Evapotranspiration (ET) is produced from vegetation transpiration and soil evaporation. The ET measurements must be considered to study water management systems and irrigation (planning, designing and operating). This study is based on USGS (United States Geological Survey) data by the SSEBop (Simplified Surface Energy Balance) model to estimate the total annual amount of ET using ArcGIS software. The ET values were determined for seventeen years from 2003 to 2019. Also, these values for year 2020 were estimated based on the value of the monthly ET for seven months, i.e. until August by summation. The field data of gauge stations spread throughout Iraq for the year 2012 were used to verify the ET values for the same year. There was distinct compatibility between them. For the four years 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, the area of zero ET was a little more than half the area of Iraq (56%). While the years from 2003 to 2016, the average percentage of the area was about 24% of Iraq’s area. For classification for ET values 0 - 50 mm, the area percentage was 29% of total area for years from 2003 to 2016, while from 2017 to 2020 the percentage was 10%. The ET values of 50-100 mm have an area ratio of 12% of total area for years 2003 to 2016, while the percentage was 4% for the remaining years. For all years of study, the area percentage was approximately the same for ET values greater than 100 mm. The study recommends increasing the water quotas and speeding up the construction of strategic projects in Iraq to compensate the shortage of vegetation cover, especially in last the four years, more than half of the area had ET values equal to zero.

There are two types of immunity:
Objective immunity: the member does not bear any responsibility for the opinions, ideas, and statements he expresses within the council or its committees, but even outside it by some systems.
Procedural immunity: that prevents criminal actions from being taken during or outside the session of the Council, with the approval of a body specified by the constitutions of the countries under study, but it is restricted by conditions and controls stipulated. It contains constitut

Show MoreExperimental and numerical studies have been conducted for the effect of injected air bubbles on the heat transfer coefficient through the water flow in a vertical pipe under the influence of uniform heat flux. The investigated parameters were water flow rate of (10, 14 and 18) lit/min, air flow rate of (1.5, 3 and 4) lit/min for subjected heat fluxes of (27264, 36316 and 45398) W/m2. The energy, momentum and continuity equations were solved numerically to describe the motion of flow. Turbulence models k-ε was implemented. The mathematical model is using a CFD code Fluent (Ansys15). The water was used as continuous phase while the air was represented as dispersed. phase. The experimental work includes design, build and instrument a test

Sediment samples were collected from main water processing and supply plants in Baghdad, and tested for radioactivity from both natural and artificial sources. These stations are: East Dijla (Tigris), Al-Kadisia, Al-Karama, Al-Rasheed, Al-Sader, Al-Wathba, and Al-Wihda supply stations. Qualitative measurements were made, and the results showed that most sediments exhibited natural radioactive level and sometimes less than the international regular standards. Specially, K-40 and Ra-226 results were much less than the standards for radioactive concentrations. Ac-228 concentration was found rather than Th-232 (in Al-Sader and Al-Wihda samples) but with low concentrations of about 10-15 Bg/kg and detection confidence ~45% , and Ce-141 and Be

The elimination of EEG artifacts using wavelet (WT) pre-processing denoising is demonstrated in this study. In the current study, spectral entropy ( ), permutation entropy ( ), and approximation entropy ( ) were all explored.

Subsequently, more sustainable concrete can be obtained. Ternary blended cement containing two different types of mineral admixture can achieve ambitious steps in this trend. In this research, the synergic effects of mineral admixtures in ternary blended cement and its effects on concrete fresh properties, strength, durability, and efficiency factors of mineral admixture in ternary blended cement, were reviewed. The main conclusion reached after reviewing many literature pieces is that the concrete with ternary blended cement
