This study is concerned with channel banks slopes in the middle sector of Al-Massab Al-Aam channel in the middle and south of Iraq. The geotechnical properties of soil in the channel banks including physical ,engineering, chemical and mineralogical characters in over (25) station have been studied.
The grain size distribution of the bank soils of channel showed that the clay percentage is higher than those of the silt and sand percentages.
The bank soils are classified according to the USCS standards. They are composed of clay with low plasticity (CL) that represents 88% of the soil and ,clay with high plasticity (CH)represents 12% of the soil. The saturated density values ranges between 1.679 and 1.953 g/cm3 with average value of 1.790 g/cm3,while the dry density values ranges between 1.274 and 1.718 g/cm3 with average value of 1.470 g/cm3 ; the values of dry and saturated density are within the ideal limits . Direct shear test shows that the cohesion values (c), range between 5-48 kN/m2 with average value of 21.68 kN/m2 , while the internal friction angle (Ø°) of the soil type (CL) ranges between 8.5°-30° with average value of 18.13° . The (Ø°) values of the other soil type (CH) ranges between (20°-30°) with average value of 25° ,therefore the (CH) soil types have higher(Ø°) values than the ideal limits .The result of unconfined compression test ranges between 9.4-73.80 kN/m2 with average value of 30.6 kN/m2 of remoulded samples with water percentage of 30%.
The mineralogical test of the banks soil of channel using XRD shows that the mineral contents of the analyzed soil are composed mainly of the minerals Quartz ,calcite, Feldspar (Anorthite), dolomite, and Clay minerals such as (montimorillonite, and Kaolinite) .
The Electrical conductivity of soil is classified depending on (FAO) classification between low to high salinity , and the pH value have low to moderate basicity.
The gypsum concentrations range between 0.09 and 12.59% with average value of 2.083% , chlorides concentrations range between 0.017 and 0.166% with average value of 0.079%, sulphates concentrations range between 0.044 and 5.85% with average value of 0.987%,and carbonates concentrations range between 2 and 40%with average value of 20.5% . Some treatment measures are proposed to stabilize the soil of the studied area.
A range of macrocyclic dinuclear metal (II) dithiocarbamate-based complexes are reported. The preparation of complexes was accomplished from either mixing of the prepared ligand with a metal ion or through a template one-pot reaction. The preparation of the bisamine precursor was achieved through several synthetic steps. The free ligand; potassium 2,2'-(biphenyl-4,4'-diylbis(azanediyl))bis(1-chloro-2-oxoethane-2,1diyl)bis(cyclohexylcarbamodithioate) (L) was yielded from the addition of CS2 to a bis-amine precursor in KOH medium.A variety of analytical and physical methods were implemented to characterise ligand and its complexes. The analyses were based on spectroscopic techniques (FTIR, UV-Vis, mass spectroscopy and 1H, 13C-NMR sp

There are serious environmental problems in all countries of the world, due to the waste material such as crushed clay bricks (CCB) and in huge quantities resulting from the demolition of buildings. In order to reduce the effects of this problem as well as to preserve natural resources, it is possible to work on recycling (CCB) and to use it in the manufacture of environmentally friendly loaded building units by replacing percentages in coarse aggregate by volume. It can be used as a powder and replacing of percentages in cement by weight and study the effect on the physical and mechanical properties of the concrete and the masonry unit. Evaluation of its performance through workability, dry density, compressive strength, thermal conduct

Addition of bioactive materials such as Titanium oxide (TiO2), and incorporation of bio inert ceramic such as alumina (Al2O3), into polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has been adopted as an effective approach to improve bone-implant interfaces. In this paper, hot pressing technique has been adopted as a production method. This technique gave a homogenous distribution of the additive materials in the proposed composite biomaterial. Different compositions and compounding temperatures have been applied to all samples. Mechanical properties and animal model have been studied in all different production conditions. The results of these new TiO2/Al2O3/PEEK biocomposites with different

The organizational change management, follows the approach to the transfer or transmission of the individual, or team, or the organization of the current case to the case of a future planned. It is an organizational process aimed at helping stakeholders to accept and then the changes in their business environment. And job satisfaction can be defined as the individual's sense of happiness and satisfaction during the performance of his work and achieved compatibility between what the individual expects from his work and how much it actually gets in this work, and job satisfaction is to pay the individual components of the work and production. Through the concepts above chose researcher on the title search g

An anal fissure which does not heal with conservative measures as sits baths and laxatives is a chronic anal fissure. Physiologically, it is the high resting tone of the internal anal sphincter that chiefly interferes with the healing process of these fissures. Until now, the gold standard treatment modality is surgery, either digital anal dilatation or lateral sphincterotomy. However, concerns have been raised about the incidence of faecal incontinence after surgery. Therefore, pharmacological means to treat chronic anal fissures have been explored. A Medline and pub med database search from 1986-2012 was conducted to perform a literature search for articles relating to the non-surgical treatment of chronic anal fissure. Pharmacological

The proposed techniques consist of three dimension (3-D) two level discrete wavelet transform (DWT), 3-D two level discrete multi-wavelet transform (DMWT) and 3-D two level hybrid (wavelet-multiwavelet transform) technique. Daubechies and Haar are used in discrete wavelet transform and Critically Sampled preprocessing is used in discrete multi-wavelet transform. The aim is to maintain to increase the compression ratio (CR) with respect to increase the level of the transformation in case of 3-D transformation, so, the compression ratio is measured for each level. To get a good compression, the image data properties, were measured, such as, image entropy (He), percent root-
