Forty-four  bottles  of drinking water  were collected from the local markets of Basra City and stored in the laboratory refrigerator  at 4ºC until the physical, chemical and biological measurements were carried out. The results showed a discrepancy in the compatibility of the specifications written on the drinking water  bottle  label with the sample measurements as well as the variation in the results with the Iraqi standards for bottled water.  The percentage of bottled water that is not safe for drinking  was 88.5% of the total samples of the study. This value is high and an indication of lack of control over marketing  from the imported or produced in the local labs, s

In the current endeavor, a new Schiff base of 14,15,34,35-tetrahydro-11H,31H-4,8-diaza-1,3(3,4)-ditriazola-2,6(1,4)-dibenzenacyclooctaphane-4,7-dien-15,35-dithione was synthesized. The new symmetrical Schiff base (Q) was employed as a ligand to produce new complexes comprising Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Pd(II), and Pt(II) metal-ions at a ratio of 2:1 (Metal:ligand). There have been new ligands and their complexes validated by (FTIR), (UV-visible), 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, CHNS, and FAA spectroscopy, Thermogravimetric analysis (TG), Molar conductivity, and Magnetic susceptibility. The photostabilization technique to enhance the polymer was also used. The ligand Q and its complexes were mixed in 0.5% w/w of polyvinyl chloride in tetrahydrofuran

Knowledge is a source of innovation, and innovation is the distinctive means of creating knowledge and achieving prosperity in the information age with the presence of information technology means and electronic platforms. The aim of the research is to introduce the most important specialized electronic knowledge platforms, and seek to answer questions that cover aspects of the subject and describe it as a source of information, guidance and training in the educational community. and electronic training and its importance in developing knowledge and innovation in the services of information institutions, The research dealt with two models of specialized electronic knowledge platforms in the field of information and libraries, the adoption o

Background: Alcohol remains the single most significant cause of liver disease throughout the Western world, responsible for between 40 and 80% of cases of cirrhosis in different countries. Many of the factors underlying the development of alcoholic liver injury remain unknown, and significant questions remain about the value of even very basic therapeutic strategies.
Patients and Methods: In a cross sectional study, 113 alcoholic patients with evidence of liver disease in the absence of other significant etiology attending the Gastoenterorology and Hepatology Teaching Hospital between December 2001 and December 2003 were studied for the hematological and biochemical spectrum of alcoholic liver disease in

      This study deals with the challenges and risks faced by mobile banking services and their plagiarism and reduction, the issue of risk management and review, as it acquires financial importance for banks that provide electronic mobile banking services, as included by the Basel Committee, financial accounting via mobile phone, and in line with treason works Traditional commercial banks invest in modern ones, including mobile phones.

Background: Arthrogryposis Multiplex congenita is a
rare disorder, characterized by multiple joint deformities
i.e. multiple congenital contractures, with shapelessly
cylindrical limbs and absent skin creases.
Club foot can be the only obvious deformity of this
widespread disorder.
Objective: To assess the most frequent recurrent
deformity after extensive soft-tissue release operations for
arthrogrypotic club foot and its appropriate treatment
regarding combined tendon transfer and bony operations.
Methods: A retrospective study of 14 patients with
arthrogrypotic club foot (28 feet), had been operated on by
multiple soft tissue and bony operations and followed in a
period between January (1993) till

     Let R be a commutative ring with unity and an R-submodule N is called semimaximal if and only if

 the sufficient conditions of F-submodules to be semimaximal .Also the concepts of (simple , semisimple) F- submodules and quotient F- modules are  introduced and given some  properties .

This article discusses a discussion of trends and patterns of understanding and application of the concept of metaphor to various subjects that may interfere with the perspective of metaphors in translation theory, an attempt was made to use the principles and characteristics of metaphors and their fundamental tradition in translation theory, and to uncover the perspective of considering metaphor as a conceptual process. presenting its merits, since it is still considered an eccentric expression of linguistics.

The guarantee of deposits came in most countries as a result of the financial crises faced by the banks, as the role of the guarantee agencies does not end to the point of enabling the depositor to recover his deposit, but rather it is considered necessary to overcome crises and stabilize the banking system.

The decisions related to the coverage determined by the types of guarantee are important, and it is required that these decisions be consistent with the policy of each guarantee to control and limit the negative effects that accompany deposit insurance, in order to face any risk that threatens deposits and confidence in them and to avoid any financial failures for the stability of the banking system and the protection of depo

This study aimed to extract, purify, and characterize the protease of local Okra Abelmoschus esculentus pods. The extraction process was conducted using ten extraction solutions with different pH and ionic strength values. Phosphate buffer solution with (pH 7, 0.05M, containing 2% sodium chloride) gave the highest activity which was (7.2 Unit/ml) as compared to other solutions, which ranged from 0.8-5.9 Unit/ml. The extracted enzyme purified by several stages. Being, precipitation by gradual addition of Ammonium sulphate from 20 to 85% saturation, then the precipitated enzyme was dialyzed and fractionated through DEAE-Cellulose (22X1.1cm), the enzymic fractions were pooled. The specific activity, purification fold and the enzyme yield value
