The study was designed in the northwestern part of Karbala city for the purpose of knowing the efficiency of some plant species of trees and shrubs planted by the municipality of the city to contribute to the deposition of dust particles suffered by the city's environment, in particular, as well as its ability to accumulate heavy metals in dust or soil, and to consider the study model for application in different parts of Iraq. It was found that the plant species (Acacia , Eucalyptus , Clkonukiyrs and Dodenia) in the studied area that were given the symbols (A,B,C and D respectively). Used the method of calculating the leaf area index to calculate the amount of dust drawn by the stock plant, then chemical digestion dry and wet techniques spectroscope Flame atomic and spectroscope atomic Flame is to detect the level of metals (lead, Pb, cadmium Cd, Selenium, Se, chromium, Cr, cobalt, Co, As, iron Fe, zenc, Zn, and manganese Mn) accumulated in the leaves of each type of plant. It was recorded in the resent study four genera of plants ( Acacia , Alkonukiyrs , eucalyptus andDodenia) and given the symbols A, B, C and D , respectively), the results show the superiority leaves (B) in the deposition of particles of airborne dust where recorded 3168.50 and 1581.86 Mikgm/cm2 paper , followed by leaf (D) 1630, and 1562.06 Mikgm /cm2 and then leaves (C) 1254.82 and 1317.83 Mikgm / cm2 , followed by leaf (A) and recorded 581.25 and 1071.87 Mikgm/cm2 weight dry and wet respectively . As for the accumulation of heavy metals (lead , cadmium , selenium , chromium , cobalt , tin , iron , zinc , and manganese ), the results show that the plant (A ) had the highest capacity in the accumulation of most of the elements studied , followed by the plant (C) and plant (D ) and leaf (B). was the order of items cumulatively in plants follows : Fe > Se > Zn >Mn> Cu> As >Pb> Co > Cd > Cr, as recorded rates respectively ( 95.4 , 58.2 , 32.5 , 31.8 , 10 , 6.2 , 1.72 , 1.67 , 1.43 and 0.32 Mikgm /cm2

Abstract Background: Timely diagnosis of periodontal disease is crucial for restoring healthy periodontal tissue and improving patients’ prognosis. There is a growing interest in using salivary biomarkers as a noninvasive screening tool for periodontal disease. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic efficacy of two salivary biomarkers, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and total protein, for periodontal disease by assessing their sensitivity in relation to clinical periodontal parameters. Furthermore, the study aimed to explore the impact of systemic disease, age, and sex on the accuracy of these biomarkers in the diagnosis of periodontal health. Materials and methods: A total of 145 participants were categorized into three groups based

The drones have become the focus of researchers’ attention because they enter into many details of life. The Tri-copter was chosen because it combines the advantages of the quadcopter in stability and manoeuvrability quickly. In this paper, the nonlinear Tri-copter model is entirely derived and applied three controllers; Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID), Fractional Order PID (FOPID), and Nonlinear PID (NLPID). The tuning process for the controllers’ parameters had been tuned by using the Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm. Then the results obtained had been compared. Where the improvement rate for the Tri-copter model of the nonlinear controller (NLPID) if compared with
In this paper a new method is proposed to perform the N-Radon orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), which are equivalent to 4-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), 16-QAM, 64-QAM, 256-QAM, ... etc. in spectral efficiency. This non conventional method is proposed in order to reduce the constellation energy and increase spectral efficiency. The proposed method gives a significant improvement in Bit Error Rate performance, and keeps bandwidth efficiency and spectrum shape as good as conventional Fast Fourier Transform based OFDM. The new structure was tested and compared with conventional OFDM for Additive White Gaussian Noise, flat, and multi-path selective fading channels. Simulation tests were generated for different channels

A simple chemical method was used to synthesis quantum dots (QDs) of zinc sulfide (ZnS) with low cost. The XRD) shows cubic phase of the prepared ZnS with an average particles size of (3-29) nm. In UV-Vis. spectra observed a large blue shift over 38 nm. The band gaps energy (Eg) was 3.8 eV and 3.37eV from the absorption and photoluminescence (PL) respectively which larger than the Eg for bulk.
