This research was conducted to measure the safety of heat stable enterotoxin a (STa) produced by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, through studying its toxic effect on mice since it showed a promising effect in reducing the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells. The cytogenetic effect was determined after giving five different doses (100, 200, 400, 800 and 1600)μg/Kg in comparison with negative (phosphate buffer saline / PBS) and positive (mitomycin C/ MMC, at doses of 2 and 5μg/Kg) controls on mouse bone marrow cells by employing the following parameters: mitotic index, chromosomal aberrations and micronucleus, also, the serum level of liver functional enzymes (GOT, GPT, ALP) was recorded. In addition, lethal dose 50 (LD 50) with certain clinicopathological changes in five organs (colon, kidney, liver, stomach and lung) was also determined after oral administration of STa for ten successive days and at two doses (500 and 1000) μg/Kg. Results showed that, none of the five different doses of STa caused any significant changes in the three examined cytogenetic parameters in the mouse bone marrow cells; precisely, neither the low dose nor the high one of STa caused reduction or induction in these parameters. In fact, clear effect in decreasing mitotic activity and increasing spontaneous frequencies of both chromosomal aberrations and micronucleus was revealed after MMC treatment. Furthermore, significant differences in mouse serum level of the three enzymes were not seen at any doses of STa, while significant reduction in the levels of these enzymes was noticed after treatment with the two doses of MMC. In this study the LD 50 test was used to investigate the lethal effect of the partially purified STa, and it was shown to be not lethal to mice at both doses of (500 and 1000) μg/Kg, since death was not recorded, moreover, no clinicopathological effects were indicated in the all examined mouse tissues, however the only noticed clinical sign was diarrhea with all doses, which was observed after three days of STa treatment.

The concept of fully pseudo stable Banach Algebra-module (Banach A-module) which is the generalization of fully stable Banach A-module has been introduced. In this paper we study some properties of fully stable Banach A-module and another characterization of fully pseudo stable Banach A-module has been given.

Abstract:
The issues related to foreign trade is a broad field for discussions and captures the interest of economists for their contribution to the process of economic development in the economies of the countries, especially developing ones. The imports of goods and services in foreign trade constitute an important part of the local by which the economy gets goods and services that the economy cannot produce because of the incompetent base of production. Further, the demand function of imports occupied a good deal of the attention of researchers in the field of international economics for which agricultural imports constitute an important part. The reason for the interest in the subject is due to its im

Amongst the literary writers who used their art to direct the attention towards the issue of woman and her rights in a proper life is the English poet and novelist Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), who has been praised for his “openness to the feminine principle” 1 as Irving Howe put it. Hardy’s wide readings have changed his way of dealing with and thinking about so many critical issues which started to float on the surface of the English society during the mid and late of the 19th century. His readings for a number of writers, who seem of huge impact on his writings as he later admits that – “[his] pages show harmony of view with

Let R be a commutative ring with non-zero identity element. For two fixed positive integers m and n. A right R-module M is called fully (m,n) -stable relative to ideal A of , if for each n-generated submodule of Mm and R-homomorphism . In this paper we give some characterization theorems and properties of fully (m,n) -stable modules relative to an ideal A of . which generalize the results of fully stable modules relative to an ideal A of R.

Concentrations of uranium were measured in this study for twenty soil samples from four areas with different depths (soil surface-20-40-60-80)cm .The study regions include Missan Governorate (Al-Iskan area,Al-Shibbana area ,Hai-Al Moualimin Al Jadied area ,Sector 30 area). The Uranium concentrations in soil samples measured by using fission tracks registration in (CR-39) track detector that caused by the bombardment of (U-283) with thermal neutrons from (241Am-Be) neutron source that has flux neutron thermal of (5 ×103 n cm-2 s-1). The concentrations values were calculated by a comparison with standard samples. Through out the result, it was found that averages of uranium concentrations in soil samples were as the following : Al - Iskan
