Field and laboratory experiments were performed to evaluate the allelopathic
potential of sorghum residues alone or in combination with reduced rate of trifluralin
herbicide on weeds in mung bean field. The field experiment was conducted during
2014 season at the Research Farm of Biology Department, College of Science,
Baghdad University by using randomized complete Block design (RCBD) to test the
effect of sorghum residues at rates of 5 and 10 t ha-1 alone or in combination with
reduced doses of trifluralin (30 and 60% of recommended dose) on weeds and mung
bean crop. Weedy check and label rate of trifluralin (2.4 Lha-1) were also included
for comparison. Each treatment was replicated four times. Total phenolics in field
soil amended with sorghum residues at 10 t ha-1 was determined in at 0, 14, 28 and
42 days of sorghum residues decomposition. Also bioassay experiment was
conducted to test the allelopathic effect of sorghum residues at 10 t ha-1
incorporated into the field soil on seedling emergence and growth of Portulaca
oleracea weed during the above mentioned decomposition periods. Results showed
that incorporation of sorghum residues at 5 t ha-1 reduced weed density by16.9 and
18.8% of control after 30 and 60 days from sowing, respectively. The reduction was
increased when sorghum residues were incorporated at 10 t ha-1 and reached to 30
and 30.5% of the control after 30and 60 days from sowing, respectively. However,
the suppression of weed population and dry weight biomass was further improved
when the plots were treated with 30 and 60% of label rate of trifluralin and sorghum
residues at 5and 10 t ha-1. The highest suppression of weed population and dry
biomass was achieved by application of reduced rate of trifluralin (60%) to plots
amended with sorghums residues at 10 t ha-1. Integration of reduced herbicide and
sorghum residues at 5and 10 t ha-1 resulted in more weed suppression than sole
application of the respected sorghum residues. The results also revealed that weed
suppression was directly translated into yield of mung bean. Application of
trifluralin herbicide at 60% of label rate in plots amended with sorghum residues at
10 t ha-1 recorded the highest biological and grain yield, number of pods per plants
and weight of 100 seeds. Chemical analysis indicated that total phenolics started to
increase at14 and 28 days of decomposition and decline thereafter until vanished 6
weeks of decomposition. Biological activity test of field soil revealed that
suppression of Portulaca oleracea weed was highly correlated with total phenolics
(R2 = 0.95for seedling emergence and 0.87 for dry biomass) of soil suggesting that
high weed suppression was mainly due to high activity of phenolics.
The continued acceleration in the business environment has led to the need for organizations great attention to quality applied in organizations to meet the needs of customers and stay in the market for as long as possible.
Search launched from the underlying problem is the presence of concentrations of defects and waste plaguing the company and to achieve the goal of the study detects the level of quality applied in the factory vessels and reservoirs of the General Company for Heavy Engineering Equipment, As well as calculate wastage rates occurring in the production process and find a relationship between the level of quality and ratios defective in each type of waste, it has been used quantitative meas

The widespread house sparrow Passer domesticus biblicus has a close association with humans and inhabits almost all ecosystems near human settlements in Iraq. It is exposed to different kinds of parasites in its habitats. Examining of house sparrow for the cestode parasites revealed that 25 specimens of 56 were infected with Raillietina echinobothrida. Intensity among infected male and female hosts with this cestode and its description is provided and discussed. The present finding constitutes the first record for this parasite in house sparrow in Iraq.

The current research discusses the jurisprudence of the argumentative meaning in the Qur’an, and it is one of the general methods of responses in the Qur’an, as well as the argumentative approach to the recitations of the readers and directing their meanings. I have chosen a model for three verses from Surat Al-An’am, in which there are seven frequent recitations and seven odd ones, on a topic related to theology and faith; It forms the centerpiece of the argument verses in Surat Al-An'am; It contains the jurisprudence of dealing with infidels and dissenters, turning away and forbidding insulting what they claim besides God in the event of corruption, and God Almighty’s decree and wisdom in the occurrence of unbeli

The health care provided by health institutions and all kinds suffers from many problems, and since the health services provided are related to human life, it is necessary to shed light on this activity and identify the causes of these problems. This research aims to Definition of health institutions (hospitals) Performance audit of these institutions according to the latest indicators, which are the standards of health accreditation for hospitals, specifically the basic standards issued by the Health Care Accreditation Council (HCAC) to reach the level of performance and Knowledge of Constraints that lead to in an acceptable manner consistent with the approved standards.

Vehicle Air Conditioning (AC) systems are used in countries that suffer high temperature degrees during the summer season, one of these countries is Iraq. Most passengers suffer manifestations which may lead to Allergic or Respiratory diseases as they inhale polluted air produced by AC systems.
In this study 10 vehicle were selected randomly on the basis of noxious odors emitted from AC systems. Indoor air samples were collected by using impaction method and using Sabouraud's dextrose agar to grow and isolate dominant fungi species accompanied with AC polluted air. Dust particle diameters aggregated in AC filters were measured because the particles work as transporters to carry fungi then get inhaled by the passengers. After isolating
