This study is concerned with the identification of the validity of the Recent sediments deposited in the Playa for the purpose of making the laboratory bricks by extrusion and pressing. The steps followed in this study included the formation and then burning of the pyramids at (950-1100) C° for one hour of maturity to determine their applicability to the brick industry. The study area is located in Al Muthanna province, south of Iraq. It is located south of the district of Samawah at a distance of 80 km and to the north-west of Salman district, 64 kilometers south of Baghdad, represented by three hosts: (DHS 1, DH2 and S). The results of the chemical analysis of the study samples showed that they consist of the following major oxides: SiO2 = (39.34-42.82) TiO2 = (0.52-0.76) Na2O3 = (0.97-1.22) Fe2O3 = (4.19-5.89) CaO = (14.78-19.4) K2O = (0.91-1.14) Al2O3 = (8.02-9.85) MgO = (3.85-5.95) L.O.I = (16.31-19.32) silica SiO2 represented the highest ratio followed by Al2O3. Was manufactured 36 samples of the laboratory were manufactured and prepared by extrusion method were measured in dimensions (7 * 3.5 * 2.5) cm by extruding method and were burned at (950-1100) C° for the purpose of conducting physical and mechanical checks on them including Linear and volume shrinkage, color, Water absorption, Efforescence, and compressive strength. The results of these tests showed a decrease in water absorption and Efforescence, a decrease in the values of compressive strength with increased burning temperature, decreased Linearand volume shrinkage in most samples and increased in other samples with increasing burning temperature. In addition, 12 samples were made of the cylindrical laboratory size (diameter 50 mm, height 60 mm) in semi-dry pressing method, and were burned at (950-1100) C° for the purpose of physical and mechanical tests, color, Water absorption, Efforescence, and compressive strength. The results of these tests showed a decrease in water absorption and Efforescence and an increase in the values of compressive resistance while increasing the temperature of burning, while the colors of the samples ranged from light brown and yellow or pale yellow to white. The results of physical assays were met Linear and volume shrinkage, color, Water absorption and Efforescence. As well as mechanical tests: compressive strength results were in accordance with the Iraqi standard for this industry where the data of the results of this study showed the validity of these samples for the industry mentioned above.
four coordinated complexes for divalent metal ions : Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Cd have been synthesized using bidentate Schiff base ligand type (NN)formed by the condensation of o-phenylenediamine , p- methylbenzadehyde and furfural in methanol. The ligand was reacted with divalent metal chloride forming complexes of the types :[M(L)Cl2] where : MII=Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, and Cd . These new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic methods (FT-IR, U.V-Vis, 1HNMR (for ligand only and atomic absorption) , magnetic susceptibility, chloride content along with conductivity measurement. These studies revealed that the geometry for all complexes about central metal ion is tetrahedral.
Background: Small cardamom or green cardamom is the dried fruit of the tall perennial herbaceous plant, Elettaria cardamomum Maton belonging to the family Zingiberaceae. The major use of small cardamom on world wide is for domestic culinary purpose and in medicine. This study was conducted to test the effect of small cardamom extracts on Mutans streptococci and Candida Albicans in comparison to 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate and de-ionized water in vivo. Materials and Methods: Mutans streptococci and Candid Albicans were isolated, purified and diagnosed according to morphological characteristic and biochemical test. In this experiments, the effect of control agents and small cardamom extracts as a mouth rinses was tested on the saliva

Show MoreThe present study aims to give some details about the normal anatomical and histological structure of the liver, pancreas and gall bladder in Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758 and Mesopotamichthys sharpeyi (Günther, 1874). Anatomical results revealed that the liver of C. carpio is a reddish-brown in color, located in the anterior part of abdominal cavity and dispersed between most of the intestines, which is divided into two lobes; while in M. sharpeyi the liver is light brown in color located in the anterior part of abdominal cavity and extends to the end of the intestinal tract with two lobs. The gallbladder situated in the right side of the liver in both species. Histological results in both species showed that the liver consists
... Show More<p><span>A Botnet is one of many attacks that can execute malicious tasks and develop continuously. Therefore, current research introduces a comparison framework, called BotDetectorFW, with classification and complexity improvements for the detection of Botnet attack using CICIDS2017 dataset. It is a free online dataset consist of several attacks with high-dimensions features. The process of feature selection is a significant step to obtain the least features by eliminating irrelated features and consequently reduces the detection time. This process implemented inside BotDetectorFW using two steps; data clustering and five distance measure formulas (cosine, dice, driver & kroeber, overlap, and pearson correlation
... Show MoreOrganizations must interact with the environment around them, so the environment must be suitable for that interaction. These companies are now trying to become Learning Organizations because it try to face that challenges may rise from its environments. The Learning Organization is a concept that is becoming an increasingly widespread philosophy in modern companies, from the largest multinationals to the smallest ventures. What is achieved by this philosophy depends considerably on one's interpretation of it and commitment to it. This study gives a definition that we felt was the true ideology behind the Learning Organization and Group Working. A Learning Organization is one in which people at all levels
