A New Biological System For Detecting Environmetal Carcinogens And /Or Mutagenes And Their Adversary
...Show More Authors

A  new  test  system  for  detecting  environment  carcinogenes and/or  mutagenes  and  their  adversary  It  has  been  induced.  One hundred and fifty   mutants   were isolated from   the basidiomycete fungus Coprinus cinereus   which were   resistant to guanine analogue S- az.aguanine .All the spontaneous and induced with UV light origin mutants were isolated from the wild type strains Bc9/6.6 and  Hd5.5

.These mutants were te ted on selective medium containing  different

concentrations of the analogue and also to their ability to usc purine bases and their degredated  products as  a sole  nitrogene source were tested ; and their ability to grow on HAT   medium was tested . According  to  the results obtained  from these test;  mutants  were

classified into four phenotypic groups for each  iJd -type strain .

All  the  8-az.aguanine  resistant  mutants  were  d.ikaryotized   with

compatible wild strains. The dikaryons produced were unable to grow on  medium           containing        8-az.aguanine                     which               establish the recessiveness of the mutations to their respective wi ld-type alleles. Complementation   test  detcrmind  four  genes   which  controll   the resi stance  to 8- azaguaninc in Coprinus cincres   .These genes were desi gnated  azg-1, azg-2, azg'-3, azg-4.Three of these genes azg-1, azg-2 and azg'-4werc carried by Bc9/6.6 and Hl /5.5 mutants. While, azg-3 gene  was found in Bc9/6.6 mutants only.

These  genes  are determ.ind for  the  first  time  in  fungus coprinus cinereus  .

Mutants which carry azg-1  gene were characterized by their inability to use   hypozanthine and                                              guanine as a sole nitrogen source in the

medium ; their failure to grow  on HAT medium  and their resistance

to all concentrations of 8- az.aguanine used.This gene is considered to

represent  a mutation led to   lose or   modify the specificity of the enzyme hypoxauthine -guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT) whi ch play an important role in transferring hypoxauthine and guanine to their nucleotides  by salvage pathway.

Spore analysis indi cated that azg'-1  gene locted in linkage group II

,since it gave a distance of 28 map units with the mating type gene

The assessment of the cytotoxic , mutagn ic and antimutagc•tic role of

the  aqueous extract of  garl ic     (Allium  sativum  L.)  against the genotoxic effect of mitomycin - C

( MMC ) evaluate the ability of the mutagen to induce mutation in

HGPRT gene by    using the asexual spores (oidia )of Copninus cineraus for the strain AZG78 and by depending on the viabil ity and mutation rate in HGPRT gene test .To assess cytotoxity and mutagenecity of garlic extract , gradual concentrations were prepared . The concentration of choice was considered with respect to  two factors ; high survi val rate and low mutagenic  activity (similar to negative control ). To examine the antimutagenic  effects of  the extract, an interation was made between the crude  extract and the mutagen   MMC with respect to three kinds of treatments before , aOer and with mutagen . The study concentrated on two sides 1- on the toxic and /or m utagenic effect of the aqueous extract of garlic . 2 - Antimutagenic activity of the extract with respect to   the mutageen MMC . However,   this activity was dependent on the type of the treatment . The extract showed best antimutagenic activity when it was used before the mutagen , so itis considered as desmutagen to the genotox i c effects of MMC.

These data support the hypothesis that garlic compounds may be eflicacius in preventions of cancer and also we could use the HGPRT

gene as  a  sensitive biological  system  in  detecting environmental mutagenes or carcinogens and their adversary .

Is It Reasonable to Screen for Undiagnosed Diabetes and Prediabetes in Asymptomatic Individuals? A Sample from Baghdad
...Show More Authors

BACKGROUND: Diabetes Mellitus is a complex chronic illness that has increased significantly around the world and is expected to affect 628 million in 2045. Undiagnosed type 2 diabetes may affect 24% - 62% of the people with diabetes; while the prevalence of prediabetes is estimated to be 470 million cases by 2030. AIM OF STUDY: To find the percentage of undiagnosed diabetes and prediabetes in a slice of people aged ≥ 45years, and relate it with age, gender, central obesity, hypertension, and family history of diabetes. METHODS: A cross sectional study that included 712 healthy individuals living in Baghdad who accepted to take part in this study and fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

A comparative study of Gaussian mixture algorithm and K-means algorithm for efficient energy clustering in MWSN
...Show More Authors

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) represent one of the key technologies in internet of things (IoTs) networks. Since WSNs have finite energy sources, there is ongoing research work to develop new strategies for minimizing power consumption or enhancing traditional techniques. In this paper, a novel Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) algorithm is proposed for mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSNs) for energy saving. Performance evaluation of the clustering process with the GMM algorithm shows a remarkable energy saving in the network of up to 92%. In addition, a comparison with another clustering strategy that uses the K-means algorithm has been made, and the developed method has outperformed K-means with superior performance, saving ener

Abstract

This study aims to find the relationships between social capital (social network, social trust, shared goals) and knowledge sharing (knowledge Donating, knowledge collecting) as independent variables and their impact on improving the quality of educational services (academic staffs quality, Quality of teaching methods and study curriculums). This research is an important, because it attempts to identify the relationship between social capital and the knowledge sharing and their effect on improving the quality of educational service for universities. The study problem was determined in several questions related to the nature of the correlation relationship - the impact between the different independent variables (

    A new heterocyclic Schiff bases ligand (HL) derived from condensation of 2-Amino-4-methylbenzothiazole with 4-Diethylaminosalicylaldehyde have been synthesized and characterized by (FTIR & UV.Vis) spectroscopies, (1H & 13C)NMR spectra, mass spectrum, elemental microanalysis (C,H,N,S). Metal complexes with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) ions have been also synthesized and characterized by (FTIR & UV.Vis) spectroscopies, flame atomic absorption, molar conductivity measurements and magnetic susceptibility. These studies indicate that the mole ratio (L:M) is (2:1) for Co(II) complex and (1:1) for other complexes. The spectral results indicate that the ligand coordinates with met
