Extraspinal incidental findings of spinal MRI
...Show More Authors

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the modality of choice for investigation of disorders of the spine. The use of spinal MRI imaging has increased over the last few years, with improvement in hardware such as magnets, coils as well as imaging techniques. Which should lead to accurate reporting of these examinations includes identifying the incidental abnormalities even if they are not related to the spine.

Objective: The objective is to evaluate the incidence, types and associated variables of

Patients and methods: A retrospective study of 507 patients was reviewed for MRI spine at Baghdad teaching hospital and x- ray institute who underwent imaging between January 2011 and fifteenth of august 2012.unsuspected Extraspinal findings (incidental findings) by MRI spine and with correlation to the sex, age group, types of these findings and the benefit of their early detection.

Results: From the 507 patients, incidental finding were detected in 83 patients (16.37 %)   some of them have more than one incidental finding, this result showed significant association with age above 60 years, (p≤0.05)

Conclusion: A systematic approach to the MRI of the spine should include assessment of tissues and organs outside the region of clinical interest to detect and report any incidental abnormality which could have significant impact on patient’s management.

Compression of Astronomical Image Using Five Modulus Method
...Show More Authors

The computer vision branch of the artificial intelligence field is concerned with
developing algorithms for analyzing image content. Data may be compressed by
reducing the redundancy in the original data, but this makes the data have more
errors. In this paper image compression based on a new method that has been
created for image compression which is called Five Modulus Method (FMM). The
new method consists of converting each pixel value in an (4x4, 8×8,16x16) block
into a multiple of 5 for each of the R, G and B arrays. After that, the new values
could be divided by 5 to get new values which are 6-bit length for each pixel and it
is less in storage space than the original value which is 8-bits.

Stability and Dynamic Analysis of Laminated Composite Plates
...Show More Authors

Buckling and free vibration analysis of laminated rectangular plates with uniform and non uniform distributed in-plane compressive loadings along two opposite edges is performed using the Ritz method. Classical laminated plate theory is adopted. The static component of the applied in- plane loading are assumed to vary according to uniform, parabolic or linear distributions. Initially, the plate membrane problem is solved using the Ritz method; subsequently, using Hamilton’s variational principle, linear homogeneous algebraic equations in terms of unknown are generated, the set of linear algebraic equations can be solved as an Eigen-value problem. Buckling loads for laminated plates with different combinations of bounda

Influence of Cold Atmospheric Plasma on Acinetobacter baumannii
...Show More Authors
  1. baumannii is an aerobic gram negative coccobacilli, it is considered multidrug resistance pathogen (MDR) and causes several infections that are difficult to treat. This study is aims to employ physical methods in sterilization and inactivation of A. baumannii, as an alternative way to reduce the using of drugs and antibiotics.
  2.             Cold Atmospheric Plasma was generated by one electrode at 20KV, 4 power supply and distance between electrode and sample was fixed on 1mm. A. baumannii (ATCC 19704 and HHR1) were exposed to  Dielectric Barrier Discharge type of Cold Atmospheric Plasma (DBD-CAP) for several periods

Crystal Growth of Ceasium Hydrogen Sulfate Salts 4CsHSO
...Show More Authors

Single crystal of CsHSO4 component was grown by slow evaporation method of aqueous solution with normality N=1 . The study shows that the importance of the process of Recrystal growth of CsHSO4 crystals. The results show the improve of the characteristics of crystals (transparent, size, shape, number and quality) . By X-Ray diffraction, the crystal structure of these crystals have been confirmed by measurement constants of unit cell of crystal lattice. The vibration modes of crystals were studied by FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) technique. Finally, achieving the study of microstructure of crystals by polarization of microscopy that is supported with hot stage at different temperatures. The changes occur on these crystals by changing

Physical and Mechanical Properties of Synthesized Doped Nanoferrite
...Show More Authors

Nanoferrite materials have been synthesized by sol-gel auto combustion method. The effect of doping different percentages of Y2O3 (0.34 µm) on the physical and mechanical properties of selected mixed ferrite [(Li2.5Fe0.5) 0.9(Co4Fe2O4) 0.1] by adding 10% Cobalt ferrite was studied. Physical properties (i.e. .density, porosity and water absorption) were affected by the doping, where the density increased about 32% at 6 wt% Y2O3, while porosity has a drastically decreased about 80% at 6% Y2O3 and has a correlation effect on the mechanical properties(Splitting  tensile strength and Vicker

Methods of Foreign Trade Payments -Comparative Accounting Study-
...Show More Authors

 The research has been concerned with the modalities of foreign trade payments (foreign trade financing), and made an accounting comparison between them to choose the best way to pay for the imported goods (payment of the real values of imported goods), given the importance of the impact of this activity on the national economy of all countries of the world, especially Iraq for the adoption of a very large amount of imported goods to meet the requirements of the people, which require the flow of huge amounts of foreign currency outside Iraq to pay for these goods, and therefore dealing incorrectly with it leads to the destruction of the national economy and the spread of a number of negative social and economic phenomena of
