The Yamama Formation is characterized by a wide geographic extension of southern Iraq. Microfacies analysis of this formation was studied in six wells distributed in six fields: Fayhaa, Sindbad, Siba, Zubair, Ratawi and West Qurna. This research aims to determine paleoenvironments by diagnosing biofacies and lithofacies. Miscellaneous marine fauna of foraminifera and calcareous algae, mainly green algae (dasycladacean.) and skeletal bioclasts from gastropods, pelecypods, bryozoans, sponge spicules, and echinoderms were found. Petrographic studies and well logs interpretations led to the identification of five main Microfacies ( Mudstone, Wackestone, Packestone, Grainestone and Rudstone and twelve submicrofacies (Foraminiferal-Lime mudstone submicrofacies, Argillaceous Lime Mudstone submicrofacies, Planktonic foraminiferal – Lime Wackestone submicrofacies, piculites/ Calcisphers – Lime Wackstone submicrofacies, Benthonic Foraminiferal -Lime wackestone/packestone submicrofacies, Algal (desycladecan) Lime wackestone submicrofacies, Algal-Lime packestone submicrofacies, Bioclastic/ Algal-Lime packestone submicrofacies, Algal/ Foraminiferal- Algal -Lime packstone submicrofacies, Peloidal poorly sorted grainstone with bioclasts submicrofacies, Intraclastic grainstone submicrofacies, Pesudo oolitic-Lithocodium aggregatum grainstone submicrofacies and finally Peloidal-intraclastic, and bioclastic grainstone submicrofacies). Microfacies are deposited in the lagoon, shoal, rudist biostrome and open marine gradient to middle and outer ramp environments. Vertical changes in microfacies with depth were reflected by lateral changes in marine depositional systems and the thickness of the formation. Shoal environments' microfacies are characterized by high thickness, while low thickness characterizes the open marine microfacies. The Yamama Formation was deposited on the low-angle homoclinic carbonate ramp, mainly in the inner and middle ramp, with outer ramp conditions in some parts of the formation.
The use of blended cement in concrete provides economic, energy savings, and ecological benefits, and also provides. Improvement in the properties of materials incorporating blended cements. The major aim of this investigation is to develop blended cement technology using grinded local rocks . The research includes information on constituent materials, manufacturing processes and performance characteristics of blended cements made with replacement (10 and 20) % of grinded local rocks (limestone, quartzite and porcelinite) from cement. The main conclusion of this study was that all types of manufactured blended cement conformed to the specification according to ASTM C595-12 (chemical and physical requirements). The percentage of the compress

By using X-ray diffraction measurement and atomic power microscopy characteristics (AFM), PS was investigated. It was also evaluated the crystallites size from (XRD) for the PS nanoscale. The atomic force microscopy confirmed the nano-metric size chemical fictionalization through the electrochemical etching that was shown on the PS surface chemical composition. The atomic power microscopy checks showed the roughness of the silicon surface. It is also notified (TiO2) preparation nano-particles that were prepared by pulse laser eradication in e

The optical characteristic like beers law limit found to be (0.25-2.5) μg.ml−1, detection and quantification limits (0.0196) (0.0654) μg.ml−1respectivly and Sandel sensitivity was 0.006738 μg.cm−2. The least-square method was used to evaluate the regression equation and the correlation coefficient. The resulted azo dye has a maximum absorbance at 430 nm with light oran
