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 .
Seasonal variations of the species composition and abundance of Cladocera were studied in two stations at the end of the Tigris River and one station at the confluence of the Tigris with Euphrates area, at the beginning of the Shatt Al-Arab River in Al-Qurnah North of Basrah Province, from October 2015 to August 2016. Samples of zooplankton were collected by plankton net 100-µm. mesh size. The population density of Cladocera ranged between 1 Ind /m³ during summer and 211 Ind./m³ during winter at station 1 (Al-Jewaber Bridge). A total of 16 species of Cladocera belonging to 12 genera were recorded in the study. The average density of Cladocera ranged from 23.2 ind./m3 at Station 2 (Hamayon Bridge) to 53.7 Ind./m3

Many studies have focused on identifying and classifying freshwater fishes in Iraq, concerned with describing, organizing, and drawing up a list of freshwater fishes in Iraq or the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Within the most recent updates at the beginning of 2023, 53 native freshwater and 20 exotic (alien or introduced) fish species are recorded and described. This study reviewed the database of morphology and molecular studies of freshwater fish in Iraq and reported species while surveying the fish fauna at different water bodies of the country from 2010 to the beginning of 2023. In conclusion, 29 species (about 40.3%) of all 72 fish species in Iraq still need to be available information on their molecular data.

An experiment was carried out in the fields of Agriculture College-Baghdad University during spring and autumn of 2015 by using a randomized complete blocks design with three replications. The first season hybridization was established among three pure cultivars of cowpea (Vigna uniguiculata L.) which: Ramshorn, California black eye and Rahawya in full diallel crosses according to Griffing with first method and fixed model (3 parents+ 3 diallel hybrids +3 reciprocal hybrids) and a comparison experiment was in autumn season. The result of statistical analysis showed that there was a significant difference among the parents and their hybrids for all the studied characters. The parent 1 was the higher for root nodules number , leaf number, pod

Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are events that suddenly, inadvertently and unexpectedly occur under unforeseen circumstances that involve at least one moving vehicle and result in one or more road users being killed or injured. Unfortunately, Iraqi governorates suffer from higher rates of traffic accident casualties compared with the rates of casualties from terrorist attacks; this situation reveals a serious and growing problem. Road traffic accidents are not easy to eradicate. However, their prevalence can be reduced to the barest minimum via periodic assessments of traffic accident characteristics and the most important aspects for road authorities to consider when designing and evaluating the performance of a road to improve traf

Background: Melatonin is the main hormone secreted by the pineal gland. This indole compound (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is derived from serotonin after two biochemical steps. Melatonin has been implicated in some pharmacological effects including sedative/hypnotic, anticonvulsant activity and others. The aim of this study was to investigate the antinociceptive effect of different doses of melatonin administered i.p. to mice, and then, to find the dose- response line of melatonin in mice as analgesic agent.
Methods: The dose response effect of melatonin (10, 50, and 100mg/kg) were assessed against control using tail flick test in mice as a model of nociceptive pain. In this model, all doses of melatonin were given intraperitoneally
Back ground : Fever is a common medical problem in
children. parents have been shown unrealistic fears of
harmful effects of fever in their children. Resulting in
inappropriate management of fever in their children.
Objective: the objective of this study was to survey
parents about their knowledge andattitude concerning fever
in their children.
Methods : The study involved random selection of
parents who brought their febrile children to emergency
department or out-patient clinics of five teaching and non
teaching hospitals in Baghdad from first of October to end
of December 2002.
Parents of 400 febrile children were interviewed using a
standard questionnaire to obtain sociodemographic

This study presents a comprehensive list of the freshwater and marine bivalves distributed in Iraq. A total of 51 species were recorded, and distributed as: 14 freshwater species, and 37 marine species, these species belonging to 25 families, all available remarks on the distribution, taxonomy, and nomenclature of these species were given. This study included the recently collected specimens along with those previously studied and recorded in Iraq.
