...Show More Authors

Background: A Catheter-associated with candidiasis infection is the most common nosocomial infection and the objective of this work is to isolate and identify Candida species from catheterized patients by ordinary culture and PCR.Objective:To study the isolation and identification of Candida species from catheterized patients by culture media and polymerase chain reaction(PCR).Methods: One hundred and thirty five Candida species isolates were obtained from urine culture of catheterized specimens from male and female patients , During the period between October 2011 to April 2012 , attending AL-Ramadi general teaching Hospital. A quantitative urine culture for isolation and identification of Candida species was. The isolation of Candida species was done out on selective media with antibiotics is Sabouraud Dextrose Agar. The identification of Candida species was based upon a combination of morphological and biochemical criteria as germ tube test and API 20 candida. Molecular study of Candida species was done using polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Results: Out of the one hundred and thirty five catheterized urine examined .Candida spp. was isolated from in 92 samples. The isolated of Candida spp. were recorded 26(40.0%) C.albicans among female patients and 20(36.4 %) among male patients .positive candidiasis was detected among diabetic patients (28.6%) from female and (20.0%) from male .Also the candidiasis was detected among patients under antibiotic treatment was (20.3%) from female patients and (32.1%) from male patients.Polymerase chain reaction ( PCR) results showed that out of 27cultured specimens , (18) were positive for C. albicans (66.7%) , and out of 9 specimens ,(7) were positive for C.glabrata (77.8%) while out of 4specimens ,(2) were positive for C.parapsilosis (50.0%) .Statistical analysis using chi – square test was applied in this work.Conclusion: The three species of Candida. albicans , Candida .glabrata .& Candida .parapsilosis are important causes of UTI in patients under catheterization in Ramadi teaching hospital and they could be one of causes nosocomial infection .

Preparing the Electrical Signal Data of the Heart by Performing Segmentation Based on the Neural Network U-Net
...Show More Authors

Research on the automated extraction of essential data from an electrocardiography (ECG) recording has been a significant topic for a long time. The main focus of digital processing processes is to measure fiducial points that determine the beginning and end of the P, QRS, and T waves based on their waveform properties. The presence of unavoidable noise during ECG data collection and inherent physiological differences among individuals make it challenging to accurately identify these reference points, resulting in suboptimal performance. This is done through several primary stages that rely on the idea of preliminary processing of the ECG electrical signal through a set of steps (preparing raw data and converting them into files tha

The Effect of the Siberian Air Altitude on the Characteristics of the Climate of the Northern Arabian Peninsula
...Show More Authors

The field of climatic geography focuses on the study of the Earth's surrounding atmosphere, particularly the lower (surface) part close to the Earth's surface. This field examines the interactions within the atmosphere resulting from the solar radiation that reaches the Earth and the subsequent distribution of atmospheric pressure. Consequently, certain surface pressure systems, both high and low, emerge and vary in their temporal and spatial impacts on the climate of the Arabian Peninsula. Therefore, it is essential to conduct a comprehensive and detailed study to understand the causes, development, movement, geographical distribution, and monthly and seasonal recurrence of these pressure systems. For this purpose, a minor climatic

Sliding mode control based on high-order extended state observer for flexible joint robot under time-varying disturbance
...Show More Authors

Abstract. In this paper, a high order extended state observer (HOESO) based a sliding mode control (SMC) is proposed for a flexible joint robot (FJR) system in the presence of time varying external disturbance. A composite controller is integrated the merits of both HOESO and SMC to enhance the tracking performance of FJR system under the time varying and fast lumped disturbance. First, the HOESO estimator is constructed based on only one measured state to precisely estimate unknown system states and lumped disturbance with its high order derivatives in the FJR system. Second, the SMC scheme is designed based on such accurate estimations to govern the nominal FJR system by well compensating the estimation errors in the states and the lumped

The effect of large-scale engineered roughness elements on the hydraulics of the Shatt al-Arab estuary: Methodology
...Show More Authors
Abstract<p>Erosion and deposition are natural phenomena in the river estuaries that could be presented as a dynamic process involving removing materials from one location and accumulating these materials at other locations. These two phenomena may cause changes in waterways and affect offshore structures. The Shatt Al-Arab River Estuary, Iraq was greatly affected by these two phenomena, and topography changes occurred. Velocity profiles and bed shear stress can be used as indicators to identify the erosion and deposition locations. Large-scale roughness elements proved to make beneficial changes in the hydraulic properties of open channels. They can create desirable effects to control erosion</p> ... Show More

Effect depositions parameters on the characteristics of Ni0.5Co0.5Fe2O4 nanocomposite films prepared by DC reactive magnetron Co-Sputtering technique
...Show More Authors

In this work, spinel ferrites (NiCoFe2O4) were prepared as thin films by dc reactive dual-magnetron co-sputtering technique. Effects of some operation parameters, such as inter-electrode distance, and preparation conditions such as mixing ratio of argon and oxygen in the gas mixture, on the structural and spectroscopic characteristics of the prepared samples were studied. For samples prepared at inter-electrode distance of 5 cm, only one functional group of OH- was observed in the FTIR spectra as all bands belonging to the metal-oxygen vibration were observed. Similarly, the XRD results showed that decreasing the pressure of oxygen in the gas mixture lead to grow more crystal planes in the samples prepare
