Cognitive mapping in humans is the process of coding, storing, and processing information that. Can be used in special behavior . Several scientific Domains interfere in the concept of cognitive maps including cognitive Psychology and environmental Psychology. Three papers at the start of the last century introduced the concept of cognitive maps , ( Gulliverʼs ,1908 ) brief note mentioned such maps in the context of teaching children orientation and there was a paper published by ( Hutorowicz , 1911 ) comprising an abridged translation of a monograph written by ( B .F .Adler ) on the ( maps of primitive peoples ) and that was followed shortly after by ( Trowbridgeʼs ,1913 ) article on " Imaginary maps" which provided the first clues to the structure of cognitive maps . Edward chace Tolman who used and developed the concept of cognitive maps in his article (Cognitive maps in Rats and man ,Tolman ,1948 ) . The feature of a cognitive map, according to Tolman, is the ability to make novel short – cut between two points. The concept of cognitive map has elicited considerable interest over the years. Tolmanʼs results seem to imply that animals or humans go beyond the information given when they go directly to a goal after having learned an indirect path. This study has several conclusions, and the most important one is that some modifications broadened the range of cognitive maps that let it to be applied to several fields, including Psychology, anthropology, organizational management, education and political science.

Abstract: In the present work, the heat transfer of Nano Aluminum Oxide -NAO- has been studied practically to define the appropriate insulation conditions. This study focuses on finding of the amount of heat transfer through a glass substrate that is coated with nanoalumina doped on PMMA matrix. The optical and thermal properties were systematically investigated. The density of heat flow rate, was calculated in the range values (240-260) W/m2 while the optimum values confine between (250-260) W/m2 at temp. (25-35)Co. The results showed that the thermal insulation of the sample was significantly enhanced at temp. (30-50)Co. The simulated net heat transfer through window decreased linearly with incr

The current study aimed to investigate the viability of biofilm formation klebsilla pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. 440 urine samples were collected from patients suffering from urinary tract infection (UTI) from those who were admitted and visitors to Al-Ramadi Teaching Hospital, Al-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital, Al-Ramadi Teaching Hospital for women and children and , Teaching Laboratories in the Medical City for both genders for a period extended from 5 July, 2017 to 10 October, 2017. Samples were diagnosed by culturing them on a selective media and by biochemical testes , also, diagnosis was ensured by using VITEK-2 compact system. Results showed that K.pneumoniae isolation ratio was 17.1%(68) and S.aureus ratio was 13.1%(52). Thei

Some biomarkers were measured as well as the percentage of the effect of certain risk factors in people with myocardial infarction and heart failure. The study included 40 serum samples from people with heart disease. The effectiveness of the creatine kinase (CK-MB), as well as its temporal and albumin effects, as well as sodium ions in people with myocardial infarction and heart failure, were compared with the control group. as shown below:
-The first group consisted of 25 blood samples from people with myocardial infarction and 15 serum samples from people with heart failure. Blood
