This study suggests using the recycled plastic waste to prepare the polymer matrix composite (PMCs) to use in different applications. Composite materials were prepared by mixing the polyester resin (UP) with plastic waste, two types of plastic waste were used in this work included polyethylene-terephthalate (PET) and Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with varies weight fractions (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 %) added as a filler in flakes form. Charpy impact test was performed on the prepared samples to calculate the values of impact strength (I.S). Flexural and hardness tests were carried out to calculate the values of flexural strength and hardness. Acoustic insulation and optical microscope tests were carried out. In general, it is found that UP/PV

The aim of this research is controlling the amount of the robotic hand catching force using the artificial muscle wire as an actuator to achieve the desired response of the robotic hand in order to catch different things without destroying or dropping them; where the process is to be similar to that of human hand catching way. The proper selection of the amount of the catching force is achieved through out simulation using the fuzzy control technique. The mechanism of the arrangement of the muscle wires is proposed to achieve good force selections. The results indicate the feasibility of using this proposed technique which mimics human reasoning where as the weight of the caught peace increases, the force increases also with approximatel

The reactive yellow azo dye (λmax = 420 nm) is widely utilized for textile coloring due to its low-cost stability and tolerance properties. Treatment of dye-containing wastewater by traditional methods is usually inadequate because of its resistance to biological and chemical degradation. From this research, the continuous reactor of an advanced oxidation method supported the use of H₂O₂/TiO₂/UV to remove the coloration of the reactive yellow dye from the discharge. At constant best conditions obtained from the batch reactor tests pH=7, H₂O₂ dosage = 400 mg/l and TiO₂=25mg/l , the aqueous solutions were tested in the continuous reactor at different dye concentration and d

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic immune thrombocytopenia purpura is an autoimmune bleeding disorder that accounts for approximately one-third of clinical hemorrhagic diseases. Pathophysiologically, it involves a complicated imbalance in the immune system. OBJECTIVES: This study focuses on evaluating the levels of the immunomodulatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-35, interleukin-10, and transforming growth factor-β (TGF)-β in patients with refractory idiopathic immune thrombocytopenia undergoing treatment with romiplostim. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study encompassed 78 individuals with idiopathic immune thrombocytopenia and conducted measurements of different immunomodulatory cytokines in response to different responses of idiopath

This study aimed to know the impact of the capital structure measured by the ratio of financing to short-term capital and the ratio of financing to long-term capital on the profitability of companies, as measured by the rate of return on assets and the rate of return on equity. The study was applied to industrial sector companies listed in the Iraq Stock Exchange. The financial number of (14) companies, and (4) companies were selected that met the conditions for selecting the study sample. The study methodology relies on the analytical method as it is more appropriate to the nature, scope and objectives of the study, and the ready-made statistical program "SPSS" will be used to analyze the relationships and influence between the

أن تحديد أحداث أيلول 1970 في الحقيقة يعود الى الشمولية التي سارت عليها الحكومات العراقية بعد ثورة 14 تموز 1958 ومن ثم بعد انقلاب 8 شباط 1963 وهيمنة التيار القومي على دفة السلطة ثم الانقلاب الثاني في 17 تموز 1968 ليهيمن على الساحة السياسية وعلى تقييد الصحافة والتي أصبحت تتناغم مع فلسفة النظام الحاكم. أن الصحافة العراقية تقسم الى صحف تابعة للحكومة كصحيفة رسمية وهي تمثل سياسة الدولة وفلسفتها ورؤيتها وأيديولوجيتها تجاه الا

تشهد ظاهرة عمالة الأطفال انتشارًا عالميًا واسعًا، حيث يعمل حوالي 250 مليون طفل في مختلف أنحاء العالم، من بينهم 150 مليونًا في أعمال خطرة، وأكثر من مليون طفل يتعرضون للاتجار بالبشر. ورغم أن هذه الظاهرة شائعة في الدول النامية والفقيرة، إلا أنها لا تقتصر عليها، بل تمتد إلى الدول الصناعية المتقدمة بنسب متفاوتة حسب طبيعة المجتمعات. ونظرًا لتعقيداتها وآثارها السلبية، حظيت هذه المشكلة باهتمام متزايد خلال العقود الأخ
