The experiment was conducted in twodifferentsplaces, one of this experiment in the field was not under salt stress and the other experiment field was under salt stress.Those experiments were conducted in college of AgricultureDiyalaUniversity atautmyseason (2015 - 2016)to study the salt stress by usingseeds soaking with Hydrogen Peroxide and foliar application in different concentrations ofAbscisic acid.The experiment statistical design as RCBD was with three replicates.Soaking the seeds withHydrogen Peroxidetreatments 0 , 10 , 15 , 20 mmol.L-1. Three Abscisic acid levels0 , 15 , 30 mg.L1.α -Tocopherol, Catalase Enzyme, Membrane Stability Index,proline content, leaves area andpercentage of Electrolyte Leakage of Wheat, were measured. Results drawn from these were as follows: The α -Tocopherol concentrations, Catalase Enzyme,Proline content and percentage of Electrolyte Leakageincrease withsalt stress for soil,comparing with soil not under salt stress. The results showed that fourth level of Hydrogen Peroxide Soaking(20)superior on the levels (0)of α-Tocopherol concentrations, Catalase Enzyme,Membrane Stability Index, proline acid concentration and leaves areaincreased in values(78.88%, 135.54%, 17.47%, 34.04% ,16.36%) respectively with soil under Salt Stress.The results show increase in α-Tocopherol concentrations, Catalase Enzyme and percentageof Electrolyte Leakagewith low amount of Abscisic acid sprayingABA0(0 mg.L¹)comparing with the ABA1(15 mg.L-¹)and ABA2(30 mg.L-¹),but the treatment of spraying abscisic acid outperformedsignificantly increasedin the Membrane Stability Index anproline acid concentrationin leaveswith increase at the level ofABA2(30 mg. L-1)compareing with the other levels ofin the soil under salt stress. Theα-Tocopherol concentrations and Catalase Enzyme wereincreasedsignificantlyby interaction between(20mmol.L-1H2O2 +0 mg ABA. L1) comparing with the other levels in the soil that was under salt stress. . The Catalase Enzyme increase in the level(20 mmol.L-1H2O2 + 0 mg ABA .L-1) in the soil that was not under salt stress.Interference between (20 mmol.L-1H2O2+30mgABA.L-1) showedinsignificant effect on the Membrane Stability Indexandproline acid concentrationsin leavesat the soil that was under salt tension and proline acid concentrationsat leaves in the soil which was not under salt stress.Also most of characters in plant were significantly influenced by Hydrogen Peroxide under salt stress.

In this work, silicon nitride (Si3N4) thin films were deposited on metallic substrates (aluminium and titanium sheets) by the DC reactive sputtering technique using two different silicon targets (n-type and p-type Si wafers) as well as two Ar:N2 gas mixing ratios (50:50 and 70:30). The electrical conductivity of the metallic (aluminium and titanium) substrates was measured before and after the deposition of silicon nitride thin films on both surfaces of the substrates. The results obtained from this work showed that the deposited films, in general, reduced the electrical conductivity of the substrates, and the thin films prepared from n-type silicon targets using a 50:50 mixing ratio and deposited on both

The earth-air heat exchanger (EHX) has a promising potential to passively save the energy consumption of traditional air conditioning systems while maintaining a high degree of indoor comfort. The use of EHX systems for air conditioning in commercial and industrial settings offers several environmental benefits and is capable of operating in both standalone and hybrid modes. This study tests the performance and effectiveness of an EHX design in a sandy soil area in Baghdad, Iraq. The area has a climate of the subtropical semi-humid type. Ambient air temperatures and soil temperatures were recorded throughout the months of 2021. During the months of January and June, the temperatures of the inlet and outflow air at varying air veloci

The Weibull distribution is considered one of the Type-I Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution, and it plays a crucial role in modeling extreme events in various fields, such as hydrology, finance, and environmental sciences. Bayesian methods play a strong, decisive role in estimating the parameters of the GEV distribution due to their ability to incorporate prior knowledge and handle small sample sizes effectively. In this research, we compare several shrinkage Bayesian estimation methods based on the squared error and the linear exponential loss functions. They were adopted and compared by the Monte Carlo simulation method. The performance of these methods is assessed based on their accuracy and computational efficiency in estimati

This article presents the results of an experimental investigation of using carbon fiber–reinforced polymer sheets to enhance the behavior of reinforced concrete deep beams with large web openings in shear spans. A set of 18 specimens were fabricated and tested up to a failure to evaluate the structural performance in terms of cracking, deformation, and load-carrying capacity. All tested specimens were with 1500-mm length, 500-mm cross-sectional deep, and 150-mm wide. Parameters that studied were opening size, opening location, and the strengthening factor. Two deep beams were implemented as control specimens without opening and without strengthening. Eight deep beams were fabricated with openings but without strengthening, while

This paper provides an attempt for modeling rate of penetration (ROP) for an Iraqi oil field with aid of mud logging data. Data of Umm Radhuma formation was selected for this modeling. These data include weight on bit, rotary speed, flow rate and mud density. A statistical approach was applied on these data for improving rate of penetration modeling. As result, an empirical linear ROP model has been developed with good fitness when compared with actual data. Also, a nonlinear regression analysis of different forms was attempted, and the results showed that the power model has good predicting capability with respect to other forms.
