This study sought to determine malformation caused by Ochratoxin-A (OTA) on mouse embryos. Twenty adult female white Swiss mice (mus msculus) were divided into four groups, with five females per group, and with one male placed with two females in a cage. Avaginal plug was observed in the early morning and the day of mating was considered as day of pregnancy followed by the first day of pregnancy. Three sub lethal concentrations of OTA were applied to the respective groups (other than the control), 1mg/kg, 2mg/kg and 4mg/kg. The animals were given 0.1 ml per 10 gm body weight per concentration of OTA once a day during days 7-14 of pregnancy. The control group animals were given distilled water. The pregnant mice were dissected, and the embry

Online communication on social networks has become a never-given-up way of expressing and sharing views and opinions within the realm of all topics on earth, and that is that! A basis essential in this is the limits at which "freedom of expression" should not be trespassed so as not to fall into the expression of "hate speech". These two ends make a base in the UN regulations pertaining to human rights: One is free to express, but not to hate by expression. Hereunder, a Critical Discourse Analysis in terms of Fairclough's dialectical-relational approach (2001) is made of Facebook posts (being made by common people, and not of official nature)  targeting Islam and Muslims. This is made so as to recognize these instances of "speech" a

Drilling well design optimization reduces total Authorization for Expenditures (AFE) by decreasing well constructing time and expense. Well design is not a constant pattern during the life cycle of the field. It should be optimized by continuous improvements for all aspects of redesigning the well depending on the actual field conditions and problems. The core objective of this study is to deliver a general review of the well design optimization processes and the available studies and applications to employ the well design optimization to solve problems encountered with well design so that cost effectiveness and perfect drilling well performance are achievable. Well design optimization processes include unconventional design(slimhole) co

Interface bonding between asphalt layers has been a topic of international investigation over the last thirty years. In this condition, a number of researchers have made their own techniques and used them to examine the characteristics of pavement interfaces. It is obvious that test findings won't always be comparable to the lack of a globally standard methodology for interface bonding. Also, several kinds of research have shown that factors like temperature, loading conditions, materials, and others have an impact on surface qualities. This study aims to solve this problem by thoroughly investigating interface bond testing that might serve as a basis for a uniform strategy. First, a general explanation of how

Most young children provoke negative reactions from parentral interference. These reactions worsen child's behavior. Starting a harmful pattern leading to emergence of an aggressive behavior. A cross sectional study was carried out in Al-Sadr city, Baghdad.  The target population was represented by all students attending governmental secondary schools, who are resident in Al-Sadr city aged between 13 and 21 year. The data collected by self-reported questionnaire (Aggression—Problem Behavior Frequency Scale)^. A total of 720 students contributed in this study. Out of the total, there were 257 (35.7%) students raised by illiterate mothers. Out of those, there were 241 (93.8%) students reported aggressive behavior.  

          Domestic vilonce comprises a unique privacy regarding indictment and eliminating such a behviour requires a precise standard for the sake of punishing those involved and also requires to be controlled in order not to be mishandled by others. This is imprtant for this behviour  to be included by the lawful model that provides a punishment frame. This has drvied the researcher to start this study with this elements that formulate a criterion for indictment such a behviour. and in the same way the researcher has covered the family  limits that includes the history of the marriage relationship, ending with what has the lawgiver set    of limits and affinity degre

In this paper it was designed a new fractal optical modulation by using a new iteration of fractal function, the result was analyzed by MTF evaluation, and it compared with results of normal optical modulation.

The normal and fractal optical modulator is a circular disc which has a radius R=9cm, both of them consist of twenty sectors, ten sectors are opaque and the other ten sectors are transmitted for the light.

      The fractal optical modulator contains two patterns, the pattern two can be used to detect the target, and pattern one can be used to lock the target

The best similarity of MTF behavior for normal and fractal Reticle was evaluating the power transparent depends on the size o

Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is an endemic protozoal disease in Iraq. Recovery from the disease confers a solid and permanent immunity. Vaccination with a living inoculum of promastigotes isolated from culture reduce the incidence of disease.
Objective: To show the efficacy of different types of antigens for protection of Balb/c mice against cutaneous leishmaniasis.
Methods: Thirty Balb Ic mice were divided in to six groups, groups 1-4 were immunized with different types of antigens (heat killed, freezing-thawing, formalin fixed and ultrasonicated). Received June 2005 Group 5 was treated with freshly harvested viable promastigotes from liquid medium as positive Accepted Nov. 2005 control and group 6 was kept as negative con

Criminal prescription is a legal idea that we find its applications in most laws, It means that a period of time has passed since the occurrence of the crime, which is called the prescription of the criminal case or the crime, or the lapse of a period of time since the issuance of a final judgment in the criminal case, and it is called the prescription of the penalty, the lapse of the prescribed period will result in the expiry of the criminal case in the first case, and the lapse of the penalty imposed in the second case. This system has been found since ancient times in the legislation of countries with their various legal and political systems because of its practical considerations, the most important of which is achieving legal stab
