Outcrops of detrital sediments dating from the Moghrebian are found in the coastal basin of Tarfaya in southwestern Morocco. These sediments are still little studied and spectacularly extended and surmounted by a hard crust. Our study will focus on three objectives (1) to characterize the microfacies of Moghrebian sediments and to identify their diagenetic evolution, (2) to reconstruct the modalities of development of superficial crusts, and (3) to elucidate the origin of calcium carbonate in these sediments. The results show that the Moghrebian strata have alternating conglomerate beds, lumachel, sandstone, calcarenite, and a well-developed calcareous crust on the surface. The diagenetic evolution of these facies is very early

     The aim of this paper is to analyse the temperature and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) peristaltic flow of Jeffrey fluid through a porous wave channel under the influence of rotation. The study is in Cartesian coordinates, the system of equations governing this issue is nonlinear and non-homogeneous partial differential. For the purpose of solving this system, we assumed a short wavelength and a very low Reynolds number due to the flow channel structure. After obtaining the system solution, we used the Mathematica 13 program to analyse the results through graphs. It observed that the rotation,  magnetic field, viscosity and density of the fluid have an effective effect on the fluid movement and its temperature.

     Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is a global medical problem that has a high rate of mortality. Interestingly, evaluating the hematopoietic growth factors is useful in the early diagnosis of CRC. Henceforth, this study was designed to measure the potential role of Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and Interleukin 3 (IL-3) in CRC progress and their relation to P53 expression and global DNA methylation (5mC).  Blood samples were collected from a total of 60 Iraqi patients who participated in this study and were diagnosed with CRC, and from 30 healthy volunteers who served as control for comparison purposes. Serum levels of GM-CSF and IL-3 were assessed quantitatively using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

This study detected the prevalence of gram-negative bacteria (GNB) among Iraqi acute leukemia patients and measured their serum levels for C- reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT) and lipopolysaccharide- binding protein (LBP). Besides, random amplification of polymorphic DNA )RAPD ( typing was utilized to investigate the genetic relationship among GNB isolates. Out of 458 clinical samples collected from 260 acute leukemia patients, 70 (15%) isolates of GNB were diagnosed as Klebsiella pneumoniae 23 (33%), Escherichia coli 21 (30%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 18 (26%) and Acinetobacter baumannii 8 (11%). These isolates were collected from urine (39 (57%)), blood (23 (32%)) and swabs (8 (11%)). Furthermore, GNB infections were higher amo

     Basins and Intrusions structures are essential features in defining and assessing the evolution of tectonic geo-structures. The gravity effects for Basin and Intrusion refer to (such as a salt dome or granitic pluton) structures that are similar in form, shape, and value. Attempts to characterize these structures from gravity data depend on derivation methods such as second horizontal and absolute second horizontal derivative methods. The task of the discriminator is to determine whether the data presented refers to a Basin or Intrusion. Hence, it is just a binary classifier giving the output as 0 (for Basin) or 1 (for Intrusion). The machine learning approach can solve such types of classification with high accuracy and confide

     In this work, the surface of the telescope’s mirror is cleaned using an atmospheric-pressure radio frequency plasma jet (APRFPJ), which is generated by Argon gas between two coaxial metal electrodes. The RF power supply is set to 2 MHz frequencies with three different power levels: 20, 50, and 80 W. Carbon, that has adhered to the surface, can be effectively removed using the plasma cleaning technique, which also modifies any residual bonds. The cleaned surface was clearly distinguished using an optical emission spectroscopy (OES) technique and a water contact angle (WCA) analyzer for the activation property on their surfaces. The sample showed a super hydrophilic surface at an angle of 1° after 2.5 minutes of plasma treatmen

In addition to the characterizing of the biosynthesized MnO NPs were characterized utilizing several optical methods, including FT-IR, XRD, AFM and UV-Vis. A cut-off wavelength of the biologically synthesized MnO NPs was established at around 440 nm using UV-Vis. Furthermore, the analysis of AFM revealed that MnO NPs have an average diameter size of 74.51 nm. The results showed concentration-dependent antibacterial effect (25, 50, 100 and 200 mg/ml) of MnO nanoparticles on Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Overall, it is concluded that the biosynthesized MnO NPs retain the

     The Euphrates soft-shell turtle Rafetus euphraticus is classified as endangered on the IUCN Red List and is thought to have recently undergone large population declines. Species information in Iraq is limited to a few rapid surveys with little detailed information on its breeding and distribution. Turtles have been recorded inside the water by setting nets in certain areas in the Central Marshes. Morphometric measurements were recorded in Euphrates soft-shelled turtles Rafetus euphraticus, sampled in the Central Marshes. According to nine morphometric ratios, the populations of R. euphraticus in the Central Marshes are smaller in size than previous specimens that have been recorded in neighbor

     This study focused on determining the stratigraphic phenomena of the sequences of the Kirkuk group, within the Tertiary age, in the study area at the Buzurgan oil field within the Maysan governorate. In addition to various seismic lines from the completed seismic survey of the study region, data from the Buzurgan oil field wells was utilized. The stratigraphic interpretation results showed that the seismic sections of the Kirkuk Group formations are deposited in the form of a sigmoid configuration through the continuous deposition of shallow-shelf carbonates. Periodic rises in sea level led to episodes of deeper-water sedimentation, including shelf and shelf margin facies. Clastic (sandstone) was deposited as the sea receded fro

The powerful and elegant methods that are used orthogonal basis functions to describe the solution as a double power series have been developed, namely the Bernstein, Legendre, Chebyshev, Hermite, and Bernoulli polynomials. Hence, a specified partial differential equation is reduced to a system of linear algebraic equations that can be solved by using Mathematica^®12. The techniques of effective computational methods (DECMs) have been applied to solve

     Despite the enormity of the tragedy, many cases can be saved in record time after accessing them and direct intervention. However, rescue teams may find intervention impossible or dangerous, mainly when major explosions or fires occur. After a disaster, commercial drones can be used to detect and search for survivors. They are controlled by iOS-installed Head Mounted Display (HMD) and virtual reality applications. This enables them to reach disaster areas, detect the presence of injured people, and pinpoint their locations. In this research, Artificial intelligence technologies, as represented by (Open CV Documentation) using PYTHON Code, are combined with Drone engineering capabilities to present robust virtual reality applicat

     In this work, the detection of zinc (Zn) ions that cause water pollution is studied using the CSNPs- Linker-alkaloids compound that was prepared by linking extracted alkaloids from Iraqi Catharanthus roseus plant with Chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) using maleic anhydride. This compound is characterized by an X-ray diffractometer (XRD) which shows that it has an orthorhombic structure with crystallite size in the nano dimension. Zeta Potential results show that the CSNPs-Linker-alkaloids carried a positive charge of 54.4 mV, which means it possesses high stability.  The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) shows a new distinct band at 1708.93 cm^-1 due to C=O esterification.

In this paper, a new modified variational iteration method (MVIM) with a genetic algorithm has been applied for solving nonlinear partial differential equations. Therefore, a new correction function through an auxiliary parameter  that makes sure the convergence of the standard method and improved results by using genetic techniques are introduced. The standard variational iteration method (VIM) is first applied to solve numerically the system of two-dimensional coupled Burgers' equations. Then an improvement on this method is done. Numerical experiments have been conducted to demonstrate the efficiency and high-order accuracy of this method. The algorithm converges readily which yields correct solutions. Better accuracy in comparison w
