The water scarcity that Iraq suffers from and the low irrigation efficiency in irrigation projects, therefore, it was necessary to evaluate the performance of the irrigation system of the western canal for the Ishaqi irrigation project in Salah al-Din Governorate to determine the water management strategies that can be used to improve the irrigation efficiency in the project. The performance of the field irrigation system was evaluated on two fields of different crops and irrigation methods according to the agricultural reality of the study area in the Western canal for the Al-Ishaqi Irrigation Project in Salah Al-Din Governorate. The fieldwork included measurements of the moisture content before and after irrigation, fi

The eff ect of partial substitution for lanthanum (La) on the structural properties of the compound Y1-xLaxBa4Cu7O15+δ were studied. The variation of (x) are x=0.1, 0.2 and 0.3, which was synthesized by solid state reaction method. The mixed powder was pressed with pressure (7 ton / cm2) as a disc (1.5 cm) diameter and a thickness of (0.25 to 0.3 cm). The samples were sintering by 120 °C / hour with a changing rate from room temperature to 850 ° C through 72 hours. XRD analysis using to calculate crystal size, strain and degree of crystallinity. It was found all samples have orthorhombic structure and change of structure with increasing lanthanum concentration. It was shown that the change lanthanum concentrations of all our samp

The slab is more petite and space-efficient in flat plate buildings since it is supported directly by columns rather than beams or drop panels, allowing additional floors to be added. Despite these benefits, a flat plate slab is vulnerable to brittle punching shear, a catastrophic collapse caused by the abrupt propulsion of a slab piece out from underneath by a column. In this study, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was provided and carried out in ABAQUS/CAE 2019 to model the effects of punching shear impact on a flat plate reinforced with horizontal steel bars that vary in position, diameter, and number. Concrete was represented in the model by 8-noded hexahedral 3D brick elements and steel reinforcements by 2-noded linear 2D beam ele

Abstract The study aims to explore the reality of information culture among holders of higher degrees who work as lecturers in colleges far from the specialization at the University of Baghdad. And to provide clear visions of the nature of their level of study in the academic community, specifically their skills and the research difficulties they face when searching for information and when preparing research, whether for the purposes of promotion, evaluation or obtaining a higher degree, and what is the role of the lecturers of the Department of Libraries and Information holding academic titles (Assistant Professor and Professor). In developing and enhancing the information culture among this group. The survey method was used to obtain thi

Objectives This study aimed to explore the demineralization resistance and remineralization effects of the two newly modulated orthodontic primers and to compare them with those of the Transbond™ XT orthodontic primer. Methods After preparation of graphene oxide/hydroxyapatite (GOHA) and graphite fluoride/bioactive glass (GFBAG) primers, they were evaluated by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The remineralization properties were evaluated through the assessment of calcium (Ca) and phosphate (PO4) ions released from primer disks (n = 10) for 168 days, the demineralization resistance was explored by evaluating the flat surface of molar teeth (n = 6) by Raman spectroscopy, an

Linguistic taboos exist in most cultures. Tabooed words are generally being culturespecific
and relating to bodily functions or aspects of a culture that are sacred. Such words are
avoided, considered inappropriate and loaded with affective meaning and failing to adhere to.
Strict rules, often, governing their use and lead to punishment or public shame. These taboo
words can be used as a way of violating social deixis represented by four types of honorifics;
addressee, referent, bystander, and finally setting honorifics. This paper shows how these
taboo words are used in Kenneth Bernard's play La Justice or The Cock that Crew from the
theatre of the Ridiculous as means of violating social deixis in its four types. Th

Background: Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a simple, low cost and minimally invasive way to obtain a natural concentration of autologous growth factors and is currently being widely experimented in different fields of medicine for its ability to aid the regeneration of tissue with a low healing potential. Fields of application are sports medicine, orthopedics, dentistry, dermatology, ophthalmology, plastic and maxillofacial surgery, etc. The rationale for using platelets in so many fields for the treatment of different tissues is because PLTs constitute a reservoir of critical GFs and cytokines, which may govern and regulate the tissue healing process that is quite similar in all kinds of tissues. Materials and Methods: Screw titanium implan

The study aims to indicate the role of the mechanisms and principles of corporate governance in the activation of social responsibility reports, and increase disclosure, to achieve sustainability, legitimacy, and integrity of the business. Through the presentation of the conceptual framework for corporate governance and social responsibility, identify the key dimensions of social responsibility and the statement of the relationship between the mechanisms of governance and social responsibility reports in accordance with these dimensions. To prove the hypothesis research has selected a sample of listed companies in the Iraqi market for securities,

      The present study discusses the semantic characteristics of the Russian newspapers journalistic headlines (The Russian newspaper "Komsomolskaya Pravda" as Example"). The study traces the characteristics of the Russian newspaper headlines, its relevance to grammar, syntax, lexical items and style. These characteristics in Russian will be investigated and compared to their Arabic correspondents in the process of translation. The study also specifies the meanings and the functions of the newspaper headlines in the light of modern linguistics stressing the grammatical, lexical and stylistic aspects of headlines translation from Russian into Arabic.
