The study included the collection of samples of raw cow milk to isolate Leuconostoc bacteria, samples were sub cultured on De-Man Rogosa Sharpe-Vancomycin medium, the pure colonies were selected and subjected to the cultural and microscopically tests, according to that 25 cocci bacterial isolates were obtained, then isolates were subjected to biochemical tests. Result of tests showed that 12 isolates belong to the genus Leuconostoc out of 25 cocci bacterial isolates, Vitek2 system was used as a supplementary step. Results of final identification showed that 3 sub species were obtained included Leuconostoc mesenteroides ssp. cremoris 9 out of 12 isolates, while it was 2 isolates of Leuconostoc mesenteroides ssp. mesenteroides and one isolate Leuconostoc mesenteroides ssp. dextranicum. The study included the collection of 15 isolate of diarrhea causative bacteria which subjected to cultural and microscopically, biochemical tests and Vitek 2 system, about the results of identification, 9 isolates out of 15 isolates belonged to Escherichia coli,3 isolates of Shigellagroup,2 isolates of Salmonella ser. paratyphi A and one isolate of Vibrio cholerae, the selected isolates were tested to Antibiotic sensitivity test against 11 antibiotics, the results showed that all isolates were resistant to Ampicillin and sensitive to Imipeneme. Screening of L. mesenteroides ssp. cremoris isolates was done to select the more efficient isolate producing bacteriocin by using well diffusion method, the result showed that L. mesenteroides ssp. cremoris (Lc3) and L. mesenteroides ssp. cremoris (Lc4) isolates gave the highest inhibition against E. coli, Shigella group, Salmonella ser. paratyphi A and Vibrio cholerae, the diameters were 13, 12, 12 and 12 mm respectively for the L. mesenteroides ssp. cremoris (Lc3) isolate, while the L. mesenteroides ssp. cremoris (Lc4) isolate diameters were 13, 12, 12 and 11mm respectively. The synergistic effect between bacteriocin of both isolates L. mesenteroides ssp. cremoris (Lc3) and L. mesenteroides ssp. cremoris (Lc4) with antibiotics was studied against multidrug resistant diarrhea causative bacteria. Synergistic effect between bacteriocin of both isolates with antibiotics was observed. The activity of antibiotics with bacteriocin was increased, like Cefixime, Tetracycline, Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, Ampicillin antibiotics against E. coli, and Cefotaxime, Ceftriaxone, Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, Cefixime antibiotics against Shigella group, and Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole antibiotic against Salmonella ser. paratyphi A and Ampicillin, Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, Cefixime antibiotics against Vibrio cholerae.
Chemical pesticides have an impact on other living organisms in addition to their intended target organisms. Any chemical pesticide is therefore made safe for use by examining its biological characteristics and side effects. The present study was aimed at determining the resistance efficiency of six bacterial isolates obtained from malathion-contaminated soils. Bacteria were isolated from soil samples collected in Adhamiya, Baghdad, Iraq. Biochemical tests and VITEK 2 compact equipment were used to identify the bacterial isolates. Primary and secondary screening tests were conducted on the bacterial isolates for resistance against malathion pesticides. The optimal bacterial growth conditions were determined in malathion-contaminated media.

The study included patients with PCOS without insulin resistance (n = 48) and with insulin resistance (n = 39). The comparison groups were patients with no history of PCOS: a control group without insulin resistance (n = 46) and a group of patients with insulin resistance (n = 45). The following parameters were determined in patients: FSH, LH, TSH, T3f, T4f, PRL, E2, 17-OHd, Pr, AMH, Test total, Testf, DHEAS, DHEASs, SHBG, ACTH, cortisol, IRI, IGF-1, C-peptide, and glucose level.

The performance of a condenser in a domestic refrigerator system without wires and a condenser with a novel design consisted of number of loops as elliptical shape is investigated experimentally in this work. The experiment was conducted with a refrigerator designed to work with HFC134a, under no load and with loads of (1.5,3 and 12 liters of water). In particular, the effects of shape change of the condenser were very important in heat transfer enhancement and reduce of the frictional loss as a result of reducing the pressure drop in the condenser. The results shown that compressor work decreases with elliptical condenser about (8.6% to 11.3%), and then the power consumption decreases also. The performance of household refrigerator with

The study show the higher dezincification occurs in basic solution which decrease the fatigue properties where the fatigue properties are inversely proportional with dezincification.
This study was conducted to determine the effects of concentration of hydrochloric acids, temperature, and time on the hydrolysis of soya proteins (defatted soya flour) by determining the value of total protein nitrogen concentration, and amino nitrogen concentration of protein, peptides, and amino acids, and then calculated the hydrolysis rate of proteins.
