This study has contributed to identify convenience of the land Usifiya of Mahmudiya district baghdad province for the cultivation of sensitive and salt resisting crops and growing pasture .The nine pedons (tracks) of the study have spread over three transects to cover the whole area the north, middle and south .
Depending on Visual Space tupe (TM) for 2007 which is super classified, samples are distributed on all classes of land cover
It is detected the presence of nine series soils namely
MM5- MW96- DM 115 for 1st transect
MF12- DM46 - DM96 for 2nd transect
DM56- DF56 - MW5 for 3rd transect
Soils are classified to the level of sub great group according to (soil Survey Staff) to :
*Typic Torri Fluvents , Typic Haplosalds
Some properties of soil including chemical are choosen, which determine the degree and the optimal convenience of the land, using the method of standard beating (Sys 1980) These are soil texture clalcium carbonate Gypsum , salinity drainage state Exchangable sodium Ration, soil depth, horizon development and weathering index.
Results show that by application of the equation there are five varieties suitable for cultivation for each kind of crops :-
A. For sensitive crops :-
very suitable S1 : it include series DW96 with11.1%, suitable S2 : series MW5 & DM56 with 22.2 % medium suitable S3: series DM115 – MM5 – DM96 with 33.3 %
Less suitable S4 : series DM46 with 11.1 %, insuitabhe N : series DF56 with 11.1%
B. for resisting crops :
Very suitable S1 : it includes series DW96 _ MW5 _ DM56 with 33.3 %
Suitable S2 : series DM115 _ MM5 _ DM96 with 33.3%
Medium suitable S3 : series DM46 with 11.1 %
Less suitable S4 : series DF12 with 11.1%
Insuitable N : series DF56 with 11.1 %
c)for grain for Dqsture :
very suitable S1 : it include series DM56_ MW5 _ MM5 with 33.3%
suitable S2 : series DM96 _ DM96 _ DM115 with 33.3 %
medium suitable S3 : series DM46 with 11.1 %
less suitable S4 : series MF12 with 11.1 %
insuitable N: it include series DF56 with 11.1 %
The area of each class of suitable varieties of different crops has been specified using the program Arc GiS10.2 with the help of geostat istics Analysis .
The area of different types are :-
Sensitive crops, S1: 16.79 km2 , S2: 89.15 km2 , S3: 248.3 km2 , S4 : 37.18 km2 , N : 18.00km2 . Salt – resisting crops , S1: 180.14 km2 , S2: 182.82 km2 , S3:28.29 km2, S4: 11.19km2 , N:6.91 km2 . grain for pastuer , S1: 224.59km2 , S2 : 127.77 km2 , S3:38.77 km2 , S4 : 12.44km2 , N : 5.88 km2 .

This study aims to use claystone beds exposed in the Injana Formation (Late Miocene) at Karbala-Najaf plateau, middle of Iraq for the manufacturing of perforated and ordinary bricks. The claystone samples were assessed as an alternative material of the recent sediments, which are preferred to remain as agricultural land. The claystones are sandy mud composing of 29.1 - 39.1% clay, 37.2 - 54.8% silt and 14.1-26.8% sand. They consist of kaolinite, illite, chlorite, palygorskite, and montmorillonite with a lot of quartz, calcite, dolomite, gypsum and feldspar. Claystone samples were characterized by linear shrinkage 0.01 - 0.1%, volume shrinkage 0.1 - 0.9%, bulk density 1.2 - 2.11gm/cm3 (1.68 g / cm3 average), and the efflorescence is

Objective: To find out if there are any significant differences between these women's knowledge in the
management of Breast Self-Examination in study and control group regarding some variables.
Methodology: A quasi-experimental design was used. A purposive "non-probability" sample of (260) women who
are employee and students in both colleges (Nursing and Health and Medical Technologies) was selected. The
sample consists of two groups, experimental group (130) includes those in (Nursing college), and control group
(130) in (Health and Medical Technologies). A questionnaire was constructed which included demographic
information, reproductive information, family history, previous medical history, and information about wome
Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been defined as a clinical syndrome that is characterized by abnormal carbohydrate metabolism. The chronic hyperglycemia of diabetes is associated with long term damage, dysfunction, and failure of different organs, especially the liver .This study was conducted to assess the effect obesity and insulin resistance on liver enzymes in diabetic Iraqi patients.A comparative study of (90) Iraqi adults divided to three subgroup(30) obese ,(30) nonobese diabetic patients and(30)person had used as control. The analysis included Liver enzyme ALP,ALT,AST,GGT ,Fasting Plasma Glucose (FBG) , Lipid Profile , Hemoglobin A1C , insulin and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA IR) were measured.

Current design codes and specifications allow for part of the bonded flexure tension reinforcement to be distributed over an effective flange width when the T-beams' flanges are in tension. This study presents an experimental and numerical investigation on the reinforced concrete flanged section's flexural behavior when reinforcement in the tension flange is laterally distributed. To achieve the goals of the study, numerical analysis using the finite element method was conducted on discretized flanged beam models validated via experimentally tested T-beam specimen. Parametric study was performed to investigate the effect of different parameters on the T-beams flexural behavior. The study revealed that a significant reduction in the

The present study tackles the complex issue of the urgent need for Environmental Auditing (EA) in Iraq in the absence of laws that support environmental management and in the light of the high rates of cancerous diseases in Iraq, which coincided significantly with the increase in oil production, according to the numbers indicated in the Iraqi Ministry of Health. The study aimed to investigate the mediating role of Management Systems (MS) related to the role of EA supporting sustainability reports concerning the reduction of the negative effects of gas emissions from oil companies. We adopted the descriptive approach which relies on studying relationships through a questionnaire that was distributed to a group of workers at Doura Refinery in

Background: Temporomandibular joint disorders refer to a group of heterogeneous pain and dysfunction conditions involving the masticatory system, reducing life quality of the sufferers. Arthrocentesis is simple and less invasive surgical procedure for the treatment of internal derangement than arthroscopy and better than other conservative procedures such as drugs, occlusal appliances and physiotherapy. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of arthrocentesis with injection of hyaluronic acid in the treatment of internal derangement of temporomandibular joint for the restoration of its function, reducing pain and preventing further deterioration of the temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Materials and methods: This study was perfo
