Prodigiosin, is a natural red pigment produced by various bacteria that firstly
characterized from Serratia marcescens. It is an alkaloid secondary metabolite with
a unique tripyrrol structure.This pigment is a promising drug owing to its reported
characteristics of having antifungal, immunosuppressive and anti-cancer activity. In
this study prodigiosin was produced by Serratia marcescens., which was isolated
from soil identified and characterized by morphology, Gram’s staining, biochemical
and carbohydrate fermentation tested and confirmed by the API 20E test.
From these samples, six isolates of Serratia marcescens( 24) % were obtained out
of 25 soil samples. Ability of these isolates in prodigiosin production

Field and laboratory experiments were performed to evaluate the allelopathic
potential of sorghum residues alone or in combination with reduced rate of trifluralin
herbicide on weeds in mung bean field. The field experiment was conducted during
2014 season at the Research Farm of Biology Department, College of Science,
Baghdad University by using randomized complete Block design (RCBD) to test the
effect of sorghum residues at rates of 5 and 10 t ha-1 alone or in combination with
reduced doses of trifluralin (30 and 60% of recommended dose) on weeds and mung
bean crop. Weedy check and label rate of trifluralin (2.4 Lha-1) were also included
for comparison. Each treatment was replicated four times. Total phenolics

Two new Schiff bases (S1,S2) derived from 2-Amino-2-deoxy chitosamine and mnitrobenzaldehyde
(S1), and with salicylaldehyde (S2) were prepared and
characterized using FTIR, UV and mass spectrometry. New complexes of the
transition metal ions Co (II), Ni (II), Pd (II), Pt (II) with the two ligands were
synthesized and their structures were elucidated depending on atomic absorption,
FTIR, UV-visible spectra in addition to magnetic susceptibility and electrical
conductivity measurement. Metal to ligand [M: L] ratio was obtained for all
complexes in ethanol using molar ratio method, which gave comparable results with
those obtained for the solid complexes. Stability constant of the complexes were
determined using s

The mixed spin-3/2 and spin-5/2 Ising ferrimagnetic system with different
anisotropies has been investigated using the mean field approximation (MFA) .The
phase diagram of the system has also been discussed in the anisotropy dependence
of transition temperature. It is found that a reentrant ferrimagnetic phenomenon in
the ordered system depends strongly on the anisotropy of the mixture.

In this article, the Laplace transformation method in connection with the variational iteration method will be used to solve approximately fuzzy random ordinary differential equations. After that, the sequence of approximated closed form iterated solutions is derived based on the general Lagrange multiplier evaluated using the well-known convolution theorem of the Laplace transformation method. In addition, two examples are given and solved to illustrate the reliability, efficiency and applicability of the proposed method, they are simulated using computer programs with two different generations of stochastic processes, namely the Wiener process or Brownian motion, which are 1000 and 10000, respectively.

Geochemical modeling technique was used to study the chemical evolution of
the Upper most regional aquifer in Wadi Arar area. This aquifer composed from
limestone, dolomite and some scattered or interbedded anhydrite and gypsum.
Karstic terrains are highly developed in the area. Geochemical calculations showed
that the studied groundwater are supersaturated and undersaturated with carbonate
and sulfate minerals respectively. Four flow paths were selected to determine the
main chemical reactions thought to be responsible for the variation of chemical
composition of the system under consideration and also to evaluate the amount of
mass transfer of selected mineral phases. Many reaction path models ha

A two-dimensional model is constructed to simulate the flow regime of the
upper part of Dibdibba sandy aquifer in Safwan-Zubair area, south of Iraq. Although
the Dibdibba Formation is a multi-layer system in the surveyed area, the suggested
conceptual model which is advocated to simulate the flow regime of aquifer is fixed
for one layer, i.e., the activity of the deeper aquifer is negligible. The model is
calibrated using trial and error procedure in two stages: steady state followed by
transient state. The outcome of the calibration process demonstrated considerable
spatial variations in transmissivities and storativites of the aquifer system. A very
good similarity between the observed and simula

The present paper deals with the study of petrophysical and dynamic properties of (207) plugs which were taken from rock cores of Khasib Formation at five oil wells (No.2, AM-1 AM-2, HF-3, and HU-1) located in Missan area, South of Iraq.
A comparison was made for the studied properties deduced from laboratory and from the available well logs. (35) predictive equations are established to estimate the effective porosity, permeability, in terms of the properties that are obtained from resistivity sonic, radioactivity and neutron porosity logs. These equations showed that multiple correlation coefficients (R) have ranged between weak and excellent. Statistical relations regarding the calculated and the observed values of these propertie

This paper concerns the peristaltic flow of a Williamson fluid with variable viscosity model through porous medium under combined effects of MHD and wall properties. The assumptions of Reynolds number and long wavelength is investigated. The flow is investigated in a wave frame of reference moving with velocity of the wave. The perturbation series in terms of the Weissenberg number (We <1) was used to obtain explicit forms for velocity field and stream function. The effects of thermal conductivity, Grashof number, Darcy number, magnet, rigidity, stiffness of the wall and viscous damping force parameters on velocity and stream function have been studied.

The main purpose from this paper is to introduce a new kind of soft open sets in soft
topological spaces called soft omega open sets and we show that the collection of
every soft omega open sets in a soft topological space (X,~,E) forms a soft topology
  ~
on X which is soft finer than  ~
. Moreover we use soft omega open sets to define
and study new classes of soft functions called weakly soft omega open functions and
weakly soft omega closed functions which are weaker than weakly soft open functions
and weakly soft closed functions respectively. We obtain their basic properties, their
characterizations, and their relationships with other kinds of soft functions between
soft topological spaces.<

The research shows that the fractal structure of the speech signal exhibits
fractal characteristics. The encouraging analysis results indicated that the fractal

The reduced electric quadrupole transition strengths B(E2) from the first excited
2+ state to the ground 0+ state of some even-even Neon isotopes (18,20,22,24,26,28Ne)
have been calculated. All studied isotopes composed of 16O nucleus that is
considered as an inert core and the other valence particles considered to move over
the sd-shell model space within 1d5/2, 2s1/2 and 1d3/2 orbits.
The configuration mixing shell model with limiting number of orbitals in the
model space outside the inert core fail to reproduce the measured electric transition
strengths. Therefore, and for the purpose of enhancing the calculations, the
discarded space has been included through a microscopic theory which considers a

Cyclic voltametry and spectrophotometry were used to characterize the hemoglobin (Hb) bioconjunction with AgNPs and CS. Results of the modified electrode showed quasi-reversible redox peaks with a formal potential of (-0.245V) versus Ag/AgCl in 0.1M phosphate buffer solution (PBS), pH7, at a scan rate of 0.1Vs^-1. The charge transfer coefficient (α) was 0.48 and the apparent electron transfer rate constant (Ks) was 0.47s^-1. The electrode was used as a hydrogen peroxide biosensor with a line

The process of combining images from multiple medical imaging sources without any distortion or loss of information is known as medical image fusion. It improves the usefulness of medical imaging for the diagnosis and treatment of medical issues by maintaining every feature in the fused image. Recent years have seen the introduction of many image fusion techniques that show the significant progress in the field of medical diagnosis. However, the fusion performance of these contemporary methods is prone to distortion, noise, and blurring. To address these drawbacks of the current methods, this work presents a novel fusion methodology for a visually pleasing appearance. Using Gaussian curvature and guided filters, a new decomposition techn

The total -n reaction cross section for radioactive fission products have been
evaluated in the region of energy near the giant dipole resonance, from the threshold
energy up to around 30 MeV. The selected fission products lay in the range of
medium mass number, namely: 87Rb, 90Sr, 93Zr, 106Ru, 123Sn, 127Te, 129I and 137Cs.
These radioactive isotopes were chosen as part of the radioactive waste from 235U
fission. Total cross section results were used to calculate the number of incinerated
nuclei, and this method shows efficiency in reducing the radioactivity of these
isotopes. The obtained results show that the incineration rate of radioactive nuclei
increases with the flux of the incident -r

Achieving energy-efficient Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) that monitors all targets at
all times is an essential challenge facing many large-scale surveillance applications.Singleobjective
set cover problem (SCP) is a well-known NP-hard optimization problem used to
set a minimum set of active sensors that efficiently cover all the targeted area. Realizing
that designing energy-efficient WSN and providing reliable coverage are in conflict with
each other, a multi-objective optimization tool is a strong choice for providing a set of
approximate Pareto optimal solutions (i.e., Pareto Front) that come up with tradeoff
between these two objectives. Thus, in the context of WSNs design problem, our main
contribution is to
