This research concerns the fact of the school garden and how can we tackle this issue. The research starts with a question forwarded to those who are interested in the ministry of education matters; the question is that how is the extent of interest in the school garden project? And how it is activated in the Iraqi Educational Institution program? In addition, the analysis reveals the importance of the school garden since we, as teachers and students, suffer from seeing the view of the trashes, the wastes of school furniture, the stinking water and the weeds and how it is accumulated in the back yard of the school. To add fuel to the fire, the increase in number of the students; year after year. This increase leads to adding more classes to the school building against the green yard.
The research clarifies that the school garden eliminates the phenomenon of desertification, participates in weather moderation and gives happiness to both the students and the teachers. While disregarding the school garden obstructs the success of teaching process that the school aimed at, since the school is created by the society to make it the second educational institute in the student’s life. This institute originates the generations of the future life. Thus, there should be existed the financial and human resources to help in completing these functions.
The financial capacities means providing a good building that is similar to those in the developed countries which is considered as a factory that raises new generations who love their country and society and able to create, give and be self-sufficiency. In the other hand, the human resources means the teachers groups and the scientific and educational organizations.
The research reaches at these recommendations:
1. Organizing edification courses for the teachers about the school environment and health and the importance of the school garden and how to take care of it; since the teacher is considered as a main factor in the success of the environmental education and fulfilling its goals.
2. Organizing periodical campaigns that concern school cleaning and repairing for the garden and the other things in the school building; involves fill the ponds inside and outside the school building in cooperation with the Municipal Council and Health department. Such campaigns quit the increase of the diseases that ponds bring from the stinking water.
3. Establishing annual competitions for the most beautiful school garden involves all the schools in the capital Baghdad or the schools of the whole country. In addition, establishing food competition involves the fruits and dates that the trees in those schools give, to save money for the school gardens themselves.
4. The interest in school gardens participates in raining both the food product and the education level for the students, for it provides nice weather and work opportunities for the students and the other people in the school region.
5. The role of the school garden must not be ignored for it gives economic, social and psychological benefits for the society and its people. All of which provide good opportunities for the students to practice healthy exercises and considered as places that attract the students. This type of work brings relief and comfort to the students’ spirits. Besides, it allows them acquiring good habits.6. The interest should involve taking care of other things in the school building such as the library which involves periodical renewing of the books, the laboratories and the school masque.
Eventually, the reconstruction of the school buildings in a way that goes with the educational goals create a generation who loves his society, has self-confidence and protects his social possessions that is worthy of his personality and the others personalities. Such positive sides prepare a good generation and take them away from complaining and hating the school itself.
We present a reliable algorithm for solving, homogeneous or inhomogeneous, nonlinear ordinary delay differential equations with initial conditions. The form of the solution is calculated as a series with easily computable components. Four examples are considered for the numerical illustrations of this method. The results reveal that the semi analytic iterative method (SAIM) is very effective, simple and very close to the exact solution demonstrate reliability and efficiency of this method for such problems.

Background: Calcaneus is a spongy cancellous bone with rich blood supply , its fracture heals more rapidly providing no occurrence of infection and soft tissue injury around ,no gross malposition of fragments. The associated pain leads to a major impairment in life quality. The aim of treatment for calcaneal fractures is the decrease of pain and rebuilding of walking ability for patients with normal foot shape and the ability to wear normal foot wear. To reduce complications, a minimally invasive technique for the treatment of displaced intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus was preferred to use. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the closed reduction and percutaneous K. wire fixation of displaced intra-art

Abstract
Semiconductor-based gas sensors were prepared, that use n-type tin oxide (SnO2) and tin oxide: zinc oxide composite (SnO2)1-x(ZnO)x at different x ratios using pulse laser deposition at room temperature. The prepared thin films were examined to reach the optimum conditions for gas sensing applications, namely X-ray diffraction, Hall effect measurements, and direct current conductivity. It was found that the optimum crystallinity and maximum electron density, corresponding to the minimum charge carrier mobility, appeared at 10% ZnO ratio. This ratio appeared has the optimum NO2 gas sensitivity for 5% gas concentration at 300 °C working temperat

Reinforced concrete (RC) beams containing a longitudinal cavity have become an innovative development and advantage for economic purposes of light-weight members without largely affecting their resistance against the applied loads. This type of openings can also be used for maintenance purposes and usage space of communication lines, pipelines, etc. RC beams are primarily loaded in the plane of the members, which are two-dimensional in a plane stress state and the dominant structural behaviours include bending, shear, or combination of both. In the present study, six numerical models of RC beams with and without openings were simulated by using commercial finite element software ANSYS to evaluate the structural behaviours of those b

<span lang="EN-GB">Transmitting the highest capacity throughput over the longest possible distance without any regeneration stage is an important goal of any long-haul optical network system. Accordingly, Polarization-Multiplexed Quadrature Phase-Shift-Keying (PM-QPSK) was introduced lately to achieve high bit-rate with relatively high spectral efficiency. Unfortunately, the required broad bandwidth of PM-QPSK increases the linear and nonlinear impairments in the physical layer of the optical fiber network. Increased attention has been spent to compensate for these impairments in the last years. In this paper, Single Mode Fiber (SMF), single channel, PM-QPSK transceiver was simulated, with a mix of optical and electrical (Digi

This paper presents the effect of relativistic and ponderomotive nonlinearity on cross-focusing of two intense laser beams in a collisionless and unmagnetized plasma. It should be noted here that while considering the self-focusing due to relativistic electron mass variation, the electron ponderomotive density depression in the channel may also be important. Therefore/these two nonlinearties may simultaneously affect the self-focusing process. These nonlinearities depend not only on the intensity of one laser but also on the second laser. Therefore, one laser beam affects the dynamics of the second beam and hence the process of cross-focusing takes place. The electric field amplitude of the excited electron plasma wave (EPW) has been cal

In this paper, the ability of using corn leaves as low-cost natural biowaste adsorbent material for the removal of Indigo Carmen (IC) dye was studied. Batch mode system was used to study several parameters such as, contact time (4 days), concentration of dye (10-50) ppm, adsorbent dosage (0.05-0.25) gram, pH (2-12) and temperature (30-60) oC. The corn leaf was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy device before and after the adsorption process of the IC dye and scanning electron microscope device was used to find the morphology of the adsorbent material. The experimental data was imputing with several isotherms where it fits with Freundlich (R2 = 0.9
