Using the Water Quality Index as a Powerful Tool to Assess the Water Quality for Drinking Purposes in Al-Salam, Western Region of Baghdad City, Iraq
Water quality index
Drinking water
Pollution.
Background: Tap waters play an important role in fulfilling the people needs for drinking and domestic purposes. Contaminate the tap water with different pollutants has become an issue of great concern for 90% of people who are depended on the tap water as the main source of drinking. Pollutants can make their way easily into the delivering pipes which suffer from the leaking resulting in decreasing the quality of water. Objective: Therefore, assess the water quality for drinking purpose by calculating the water quality index is an important tool to ascertain whether the water is suitable for human consumption or not. Methods: In the present work, the water quality of the Al-Salam, western region of Baghdad city, Iraq was investigated for 7

Using Steel Slag for Stabilizing Clayey Soil in Sulaimani City-Iraq
Clayey soil
Soil Stabilization
Steel Slag
Geotechnical Properties
The clayey soils have the capability to swell and shrink with the variation in moisture content. Soil stabilization is a well-known technique, which is implemented to improve the geotechnical properties of soils. The massive quantities of waste materials are resulting from modern industry methods create disposal hazards in addition to environmental problems. The steel industry has a waste that can be used with low strength and weak engineering properties soils. This study is carried out to evaluate the effect of steel slag (SS) as a by-product of the geotechnical properties of clayey soil. A series of laboratory tests were conducted on natural and stabilized soils. SS was added by 0, 2.5, 5, 10, 15, and 20% to the soil.

Reducing Maintenance Costs for Government Projects in Iraq Using Performance Indicators
Maintenance
Mcosts
Performance Indicators
Government projects
Institutions and companies are looking to reduce spending on buildings and services according to scientific methods, provided they reach the same purpose but at a lower cost. On this basis, this paper proposes a model to measure and reduce maintenance costs in one of the public sector institutions in Iraq by using performance indicators that fit the nature of the work of this institution and the available data. The paper relied on studying the nature of the institution’s work in the maintenance field and looking at the type of data available to know the type and number of appropriate indicators to create the model. Maintenance data were collected for the previous six years by reviewing the maintenance and financial dep

CLIMATIC WATER BALANCE FOR ISHAQI AREA, SALAH AL-DEAN GOVERNORATE, IRAQ
Climate parameters
Water balance
Climate classification
Ishaqi
In any natural area or water body, evapotranspiration is one of the main outcomes in the water balance equation. It is also a crucial component of the hydrologic cycle and considers as the main requirement in the planning and designing of any irrigation project. The climatic parameters for the Ishaqi area are calculated from the available date of Samarra and Al-Khlais meteorological stations according to a method for the period (1982–2017) according to Fetter method. The results of the mean of rainfall, relative humidity temperature, evaporation, sunshine, and wind speed of the Ishaqi area are 171.96 mm, 49.67%, 24.86 C°, 1733.61 mm, 8.34 h/day, and 2.3 m/sec, respectively. Values of Potential Evapotranspiration are determined by

Formation evaluation for Mauddud Formation in Bai Hassan oilfield, Northern Iraq
Formation evaluation is a critical process in the petroleum industry that involves assessing the petrophysical properties and hydrocarbon potential of subsurface rock formations. This study focuses on evaluating the Mauddad Formation in the Bai Hassan oil field by analyzing data obtained from well logs and core samples. Four wells were specifically chosen for this study (BH-102, BH-16, BH-86, and BH-93). The main objectives of this study were to identify the lithology of the Mauddud Formation and estimate key petrophysical properties such as shale volume, porosity, water saturation, and permeability. The Mauddud Formation primarily consists of limestone and dolomite, with some anhydrites present. It is classified as a clean for

Morphological study for Accipitrid birds (Accipitridforms, Accipitridae) in Iraq; part two
A part two of Accipitridae Family members that belong to three genera:
Circus
Gyps
and Neophron were documented as morphometrics
distribution ranges
and conservation status were reviewed and comprehensively discussed. A total of
29 voucher specimens belong to six species which are conserved in the “Iraq Natural
History Research Center and Museum INHM” as follow: Marsh Harrier Circus aeruginosus
(Linnaeus
1758)
Hen Harrier Circus cyaneus (Linnaeus
1766)
Montagus Harrier Circus
pygargus (Linnaeus
1758)
Pallid Harrier Circus macrourus (Gmelin
1770)
Egyptian
vulture Neophron percnopterus (Linnaeus
1758)
and Griffon vulture Gyps fulfus (Hablitz
1783). The results revealed significant criteria about near threatened NT species IUCN
and Birdlife International listed as Pallid Harrier Circus macrourus
and Endangered
(EN) species as Egyptian vulture Neophron percnopterus globally decreasing population

Epidemiology of viral hepatitis B and C in Iraq: a national survey 2005-2006
hepatitis B
hepatitis C
Iraq
Background and objective: Viral Hepatitis Type B&C is serious public health challenge throughout the world.Hepatitis B and C viruses still remain to be the major causes of chronic hepatitis.It is estimated that around 350-400 million people in the world are chronic carriers of HBV, which represents approximately 7% of the total populationwhereas infection with HCV is found in approximately 3% of the world population, which represents 160 million people. Hepatitis B infection has a wide range of seroprevalence in the Mediterranean countries ranging from intermediate (=>2% ) to high prevalence ( =>7%). World Health Organization estimated a prevalence rate for HCV infection of about 4.6% in Eastern Mediterranean in 1999. During the eightieths
