Functionalizing Iron Ore in sculptures ( Salih Al-Quraghuli / Ahmed Al-Bahrani)

The sculpture composing of iron materials is being considered most important raw material that has been used by the modern artist ,especially period of post –modernism. The works of the two artists ( SALIH AL-QARAGHULI and AHMED AL-BAHRANI) the most important works that entailed to be studied for being using iron material in most of their sculpturing works; in works of Al-Quraghuli, we find ores composing of iron wires , animals threads and remaining of trash and to be assembled in a sculptured text with unique style in Arab Home. Moreover, we find huge works of (al-Bahrani) represented into formations characterized with its ironic flexibility, its abstracted engineering forms. Al-Bahrani solely has used iron plates represented in its sole structure. The subject of research aims at knowing the method of bringing out ore of sculpture and how to embody it as consisting of iron material ; besides , the benefit of the research for blocking the gap in arts of plastics , especially in field of sculpture , since there has not been former study in this respect. The first approach consists of iron ore in the Modern European sculpture and how to functionalize it in the sculpture ; besides , the sources from which has been emerged. Quoting set of arts works giving obvious indications about how to use this material in sculpture field. The second approach depicts artistic trends in the sculptures each of ( Salah and Ahmed) who are the bases of the mater –subject of the research.. This research summarizes initials and sources that both being affected , in addition to their influence in the most modern works and post- modern works by reciting some European works that embody the iron material besides expressing its influence in European works. Then , the artistic influences by mentioning some of his collective works , especially the iron , after then, the research focuses on initials ( Ahmed Al-Bahrani) and his solely artistic distinguishing style In Arab Home. Thus, the research (third chapter) sheds light on procedures in its accurate picture, then it sets off to analyses the symbols chosen on purpose. The researcher has believed that this aspect will achieve the purposes by choosing two samples for each one, by depending on indication that resulted into samples analysis. Then , the fourth chapter aims at accomplishing results concentrated around the samples , then conclusions that have been concluded from the study, then recommendations an suggestions since being regarded as an important one in the research

Ghrelin and Obestatin Levels as a Novel Marker in Iraqi Obese Children

Obesity is an escalating health problem in developing countries. One to ten children worldwide are overweight in a report showed by the International Obesity Task Force. Ghrelin, orexigenic peptide, has 28 amino acids, it is considered the greatest remarkable promotion in the last two decades for understanding the physiological changes of action regu­lating food intake and hunger. Obestatin is a 23-amino acid peptide nearly connected to ghrelin that secures from substitutio

The Effect of Sildenafil on Adenine-Induced Chronic Kidney Disease in Mice

     This study was done to find the potential renal protective effects of sildenafil and its underlying mechanisms in mice with adenine-induced CKD. For the experiment, 40 male mice were split into four groups. The control group (A) received the same food without medication until the research ends, while the other three collections (B, C, and D) were given adenine (0.25% w/w in feed daily for 8 weeks), groups (C and D) were given sildenafil (0.5 and 2.5 mg/kg) respectively orally every day for 30 days, and then blood samples were taken to assess the function of the kidneys (Urea, total protein, and creatinine), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) in addition to kidney histopathology, as w

Machine Learning Based Crop Yield Prediction Model in Rajasthan Region of India

     The present study investigates the implementation of machine learning models on crop data to predict crop yield in Rajasthan state, India. The key objective of the study is to identify which machine learning model performs are better to provide the most accurate predictions. For this purpose, two machine learning models (decision tree and random forest regression) were implemented, and gradient boosting regression was used as an optimization algorithm. The result clarifies that using gradient boosting regression can reduce the yield prediction mean square error to 6%. Additionally, for the present data set, random forest regression performed better than other models. We reported the machine learning model's performance using Mea

Differential Diagnosis of Entamoeba spp. Using the 18SrRNA Gene in Gastroenteritis Patients

In order to accurately diagnose Entamoeba spp., this study's major goal was to develop a proof-of-concept method for simultaneously detecting pathogenic and non-pathogenic amoebae using DNA. During amoebiasis, two diagnostic techniques (microscopic inspection and PCR techniques with particular primers) were evaluated. About 100 feces samples from Fallujah individuals who had clinical symptoms were taken. The outcome reveals that only 20 samples have Entamoeba spp. infections. According to this study, the two species had distinct infection percentages. Entamoeba histolytica was the most prevalent infection, at 85%, followed by Entamoeba dispar, which was 15% of all the Entamoeba-positive sampl

Landslides Study in Bac Can Province, Vietnam by Analytic Hierarchy Process Method

     In recent years, landslides in mountainous provinces have been increasing. Whenever the rainy season comes, landslides occur, causing casualties to people and the infrastructure. Bac Can, which has suffered significant damage from landslides, is a mountainous province in the north of Vietnam. This study introduces the applying the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to study landslides in Bac Can province, Vietnam. Currently, the earth's temperature is rising, and natural and anthropogenic hazards in the mountain are causing hazards. Integrate elements of the DEM model with component maps and different precipitation scenarios as the basis for the author to issue landslide warnings under the climate change scenario with maximum day

IDENTIFICATION OF HARD TICKS FROM BUFFALO BUBALUS BUBALIS (LINNAEUS, 1758) IN IRAQ

Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) are ectoparasites that infest livestock in every geographic region of the world and are vectors of several viral, bacterial, and protozoan pathogens to both animals and humans. There is little information is available is about tick presence in Buffalo Bubalus bubalis (Linnaeus, 1758) (Artiodactyla, Bovidae) in Iraq. The current study determined the species of ticks parasitizing Buffalo in some central and southern regions included: Baghdad (Al Fathelia), Karbala (Al-Hussainia), Wasit (Kut and Al-Suwairah), Al-Qadisia (Al- Diwaniyah, Al- Saniya, Al-Mihnawea, and Afak), Thi Qar (Al-Nasiriyah and Al-chibayish), Missan (Amara and Qalaat Salih) and Basrah (Al-Haretha, Al-Madena and Al-Deer). A total of 150 Buffal

Estimation of Petrophysical Properties for Zubair Reservoir in Abu-Amood Oil Field

The petrophysical analysis is significant to determine the parameters controlling the production wells and the reservoir quality. In this study, Using Interactive petrophysics software to analyze the petrophysical parameters of five wells penetrated the Zubair reservoir in the Abu-Amood field to evaluate a reservoir and search for hydrocarbon zones. The available logs data such as density, sonic, gamma ray, SP, neutron, and resistivity logs for wells AAm-1, AAm-2, AAm-3, AAm-4, and AAm-5 were used to determine the reservoir properties in Zubair reservoir. The density-neutron and neutron-sonic cross plots, which appear as lines with porosity scale ticks, are used to distinguish between the three main lithologies of sandstone, limesto
