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.

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 .
Leishmania parasites reproduce wherever there are cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system, almost in macrophages. These are most copious in the liver and spleen;therefore, infection leads to an expansion of both of them. This study determined the burden of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) infection on liver and spleen. A total of 20 mice were infected peritoneally with 2x107promastigotes of Leishmania donovani / ml and other 12 mice left without infection as a healthy control. The weight of whole body, liver and spleen were measured and the histological development using hematoxylin and eosin stains were determined after 15, 30, 45-and 60-days post infection. The results represent that the mean weights of liver and spleen were increased in inf

The first is to study raw and treated water qualities and comparing them with standards and the second is to evaluate the treatment plants efficiency. The analyzed data were those water quality parameters in relation to physical, chemical and bacteriological characteristics for river water and produced water by seven water treatment plants located on Tigris River passing through Baghdad City.
The results of this study indicated that all raw water characteristic are within the surface water standards established by Iraqi and USA criteria except Bacterial Counts.
Tigris River water is of good quality to be trea
Experimental tests were carried to control lost circulation in the Khabaz oil field using different types of LCMs including Nano-materials. A closed-loop circulation system was built to simulate the process of lost circulation into formations. Two dolomite plugs were used from different depths of the formation of Azkand in Khabaz oil field. The experimentations were carried out to study the effect of different types of LCMs, cross-linked copolymer (FLOSORB CE 300 S), SiO2 NP, and Fe2O3 NP, on mud volume losses as a function of time.
The rheological measurements of the nanoparticles-reference mud system showed that both of the SiO2 NP and Fe2O3 NP w

Variation orders are an on-going phenomenon in construction and industry projects worldwide, particularly in the province of Sulaimani, where the project's damage from cost and schedule overrun because of variation orders. However, the effect on project costs and time overrun of variation order has yet to be identified. This study evaluates the impact of variation orders on the cost and time off in the Sulaimani governorate. Two hundred twenty-eight projects from various construction sectors built between 2007-2012 were adopted to calculate the contract cost and schedule overruns due to variation orders. Data analysis was applied in the study were descriptive statistics. One-way ANOVA was also applied to determine w

In this paper a prey-predator-scavenger food web model is proposed and studied. It is assumed that the model considered the effect of harvesting and all the species are infected by some toxicants released by some other species. The stability analysis of all possible equilibrium points is discussed. The persistence conditions of the system are established. The occurrence of local bifurcation around the equilibrium points is investigated. Numerical simulation is used and the obtained solution curves are drawn to illustrate the results of the model. Finally, the nonexistence of periodic dynamics is discussed analytically as well as numerically.

One of the troublesome duties in chemical industrial units is determining the instantaneous drop size distribution, which is created between two immiscible liquids within such units. In this work a complete system for measuring instantaneous droplet size is constructed. It consists of laser detection system (1mW He-Ne laser), drop generation system (turbine mixer unit), and microphotography system. Two immiscible liquids, water and kerosene were mixed together with different low volume fractions (0.0025, 0.02) of kerosene (as a dispersed phase) in water (as a continuous phase). The experiments were carried out at different rotational speed (1180- 2090 r.p.m) of the turbine mixer. The Sauter mean diameter of the drops was determined by la
