The recent study was conducted to measure some heavy metal content in potato and corn chips in Baghdad markets. Samples were analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). Four metals, Cobalt (Co), Cadmium (Cd), Cupper (Cu) and Lead (Pb) were determined. Two types belonging to two manufacturer resources and two trademarks for each resource were tested in this work. Generally, the study recorded that the potato chips were containing metals less than the corn chips. According to Iraqi criteria, all tested types of potato chips were under the allowed levels. The mean of accumulation trend for both types was: Cu>Co>Pb>Cd. The mean of accumulation trend for the corn types of chips was: Baz>Pufack> Fantasia > Snack. The mean of accumulation trend for Potato chips was: Hlla>Mrsticks>Shepisco>Leez. Only Pufack (Jordan) Baz and Fantasia (Iraq) trademarks were containing levels of Cu exceeded of criteria. The aim of study is to monitor the levels of metals in chips food.

Dissolving Precipitated Asphaltenes Inside Oil Reservoirs Using Local Solvents

There are several oil reservoirs that had severe from a sudden or gradual decline in their production due to asphaltene precipitation inside these reservoirs. Asphaltene deposition inside oil reservoirs causes damage for permeability and skin factor, wettability alteration of a reservoir, greater drawdown pressure. These adverse changing lead to flow rate reduction, so the economic profit will drop. The aim of this study is using local solvents: reformate, heavy-naphtha and binary of them for dissolving precipitated asphaltene inside the oil reservoir. Three samples of the sand pack had been prepared and mixed with a certain amount of asphaltene. Permeability of these samples calculated before and after mixed with asphaltenes. Then, the

Chemical Elements Diffusion in the Solar Interior
The standard solar model and equation of state have been used to study relative diffusion of Hydrogen and Helium in the present time for solar interior
as a function of distance and depth from the center of the star. The effects of temperature and density on diffusion velocity for these chemical elements have been explaned.
It is found that heat flow which is arising from these reactions leads to an increase in helium diffusion velocity
while the temperature and density leading to a decrease in Hydrogen diffusion velocity. This means that Hydrogen behaves inversely with that for helium does through these reactions. Accordingly
diffusion percentages for Hydrogen
Helium and other Heavy Elements could be determined for the main sequence stars and white dwarf stars.
