The study started from the problems of wars and the damage that result from deterioration and destruction of infrastructure and the absence of planning and urban reconstruction. The study aims to address the condition of the bad destroyed bridges that have paralyzed traffic from the right and left sides of the city of Mosul. The study is based on the assumption that the reconstruction of bridges will improve the transportation network in the city of Mosul. The study relied on several approaches, including: the historical approach by reviewing global and local experiences and the descriptive approach to review the reality of the state of Mosul after the liberation process, through maps and the analytical approach through statistics and data from old years due to the lack of new sources due to the war. The study summarizes the study of the city of Mosul from the population, traffic volumes and centers of attraction, the importance of each bridge in relation to its location and studying policies for post-war bridges reconstruction from the state’s role in economic support and the amounts spent for reconstructed bridges, and classification of post-war bridges in terms of form and according to materials The construction, types of maintenance for the reconstruction of post-war bridges, the sustainability of post-war bridges from the environmental, economic, social and urban dimension, and a matrix of achievement of goals based on major goals, secondary goals and weights to prioritize bridges for reconstruction, and Post-war bridging plans. Among the most important conclusions, through the Matrix of Achieving the Objectives, we conclude that prioritizing the reconstruction of the Fifth Bridge, followed by the Third Bridge and the Second Bridge ending with the Sugar Bridge, and the last needing preventive maintenance. Temporarily, in order to preserve the safety of civilians and build the remaining bridges, for ease of vehicle operation, and to allocate a greater portion of the financial budget to the city of Mosul to complete the reconstruction of the bridges.
In this study, the stellar mass M*(LB) and the atomic gas mass MHI (LB) were utilized to evaluate the baryonic mass Tully–Fisher (Mb) of disc system spiral galaxies (for normal spiral and barred spirals) and to obtain an empirical relation between masses Mb, MHI, M* and optical luminosity at blue range LB. The data for the studied sample was collected from literature papers for unbarred (normal) and barred-type morphological spiral galaxies. Therefore, in this work, the sample of data was chosen to analyze the baryonic mass Tully–Fisher relationship for normal and barred spiral galaxies. Statistical analysis of the connections was used between the

This study involves microfacies analysis of the Kometan Formation from northeastern Iraq supported by detailed petrographic investigation for the main components and diagenetic processes using a petrographic microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and X-Ray diffraction (XRD). The techniques have revealed that the formation includes two microfacies; lime wackestone and lime packstone microfacies which in turn are subdivided into seven sub-microfacies, that were deposited in the quiet and deep marine environment. Planktonic foraminifera (keeled and globular chamber types) are dominant, along with oligostegina in addition to subordinate benthonic foraminifera and fine-grained bioclasts. Calcite forms the main mineralogical compositi

The increase in the number of trucks and other heavy vehicles in Iraqi highways lead to cracking and deteriorations in the flexible highway. The use of polymermodified asphalt may solve this problem to match the required performance standards. This study investigates the effects of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) polymer on the performance behaviour of Iraqi bitumen binder. The characteristics of bitumen binder were analysed to observe the compatibility of bitumen with SBS polymer. The bitumen binder was mixed with three different contents of SBS (4%, 4.5%, and 5%) by weight of asphalt cement. Viscosity tests were conducted on the SBS polymer-modified asphalt at 135 oC and 165 oC in addition to conventional binder tests. The prepar

Background: Celiac disease is an autoimmune chronic disease that affects the human’s intestine and subsequently reflects its effect on the entire body health by retardation the absorption and immune mediated complications cause the involvement of oral health. The present study intended to evaluate the impact of the histopathological disease activity upon dental enamel defects and dental caries.
Subjects and methods: Forty celiac-diseased patients aged 7-11 years were collected from 3 different teaching hospitals in Baghdad classified by means of the histopathological activity of the intestinal disease according to modified Marsh-Ros

This study is achieved in the local area in Eridu oil field, where the Mishrif Formation is considered the main productive reservoir. The Mishrif Formation was deposited during the Cretaceous period in the secondary sedimentary cycle (Cenomanian-Early Turonian as a part of the Wasia Group a carbonate succession and widespread throughout the Arabian Plate. There are four association facies are identified in Mishrif Formation according the microfacies analysis: FA1-Deep shelf facies association (Outer Ramp); FA2-Slope (Middle Ramp); FA3-Reef facies (Shoal) association (Inner ramp); FA4-Back Reef facies association. Sequence stratigraphic analysis show there are three stratigraphic surfaces based on the abrupt changing in depositional

Clinical index is needed to predict the outcome of pregnancy after in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET) for infertile patients. Growth differentiation factor-8 (GDF-8), also known as myostatin, is one of transforming growth factor-â superfamily localized in antral follicles in normal and PCOS ovaries but its function in female reproductive system is still unknown. Aim of the study is to assess the correlation between levels of GDF8 in follicular fluid (FF) with outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF/ICSI) in women with and without PCOS. A prospective case control study was performed enrolling (40) patients with PCOS and (40) non-PCOS women (male infertility) undergoing IVF/ICSI. The collect
