The Heavy Metal Pollution Index (HMPI) has been used to assess the quality of surface and groundwater drinking water in the Hawija region, where residents use groundwater for drinking. Forty groundwater samples were collected from the Hawija region's wells and analyzed in the Acme Laboratories in Canada. The results of this study were compared with the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) and the World Health Organization's (WHO) classification of water quality and its suitability for different uses. Five samples (12.5%) had low pollution levels during the low flow season, 26 samples (65%) had medium levels, and nine samples (22.5%) had high levels. Thirty samples, a mean of 75% of the total groundwater samples obtained during the hig

     The present study was designed to examine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CTLA4 (rs231775) and NOD2/CARD15 (rs104895467) genes profiles that are related to etiology and pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in two groups of Iraqi patients (Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC)).  The frequency of the allele and genotypes were determined using polymerase chain reaction (PCR-RFLP) and then confirmed by sequence analysis. For CTLA4 (rs231775) SNP comparing IBD patients to controls revealed some significant variations. The GG genotype demonstrated a significant increased incidence in IBD patients than controls (62.4vs. 0.0%; OR = 238.69; pc = 5.

     A new colorimetric-flow injection method has been developed and validated for the detection of Cefotaxime sodium in pharmaceutical formulations. This method stands out for its rapid and sensitive nature. The formation of a brown-colored complex between Cefotaxime sodium and the Biuret reagent in a highly alkaline environment serves as the basis for the detection. The intensity of this colored complex is measured using a custom-built Continuous Flow Injection Analyzer, enabling accurate quantification of Cefotaxime sodium. Optimization studies of the chemical and physical parameters such as dilution of Biuret reagent, effect of the medium basicity, flow rate, sample loop and others have been investigated. The calibration graph wa

Al-Najaf refinery produces many pollutants from fuel combustion, such as fumes and gases, which lead to heavy metal pollution in the soil. This research aims to study the pollution factors in the soil surrounding the refinery. Five soil samples were collected from different sites to analyse five heavy metals (Ni, Zn, Co, Cr, and Pb) to determine the chemical pollution level. The results found that the percentage of the metal (Co) in site No.3 was the highest due to its presence near the oil flame and toward the direction of the wind. Three different indices were applied to detect pollution levels: geo accumulation index (I-geo), pollution load index (PLI) and contamination factor (CF). The I-geo for Co, Cr, and Pb showed class 1 relative

     The study area is located within the Mesopotamian Basin, the habitat of several oil fields that extract hydrocarbons from NW-SE-trending anticline formations parallel to the Zagros folding belt. The study aimed to determine if discrepancies in bubble pressure values were caused by faults or reefs using historical matching of gas production. The study revealed a distinct Mishrif reservoir seismic graph and seismic reflectors exhibiting many severe discontinuities, indicating the presence of a reef or fault. Field production data matched the fault case more consistently than the reef case during reservoir simulation, as per the well results (C37P, C43P, C46P). The history-matching simulation confirmed the two faults and rejected t

     The magnetic properties of street dust in the north and south of Baghdad, Iraq, have been studied. Fifty soil samples have been collected from heavily Traffic streets. Mass-specific magnetic susceptibility (χ), frequency-dependent susceptibility (χ_fd%), anhysteretic remanent magnetization (χ_arm), saturation isothermal remanent magnetization (SIRM), and thermomagnetic analyses were investigated. Mass-specific magnetic susceptibility (χ) is 72.86 × 10^-8 m³kg^-1 and 98.31 × 10^-8 m³kg^-1 for northern Baghdad (BN) and southern Baghdad (BR) (mean values), respectively. χ is well correlated with χ_arm with correlation coefficients (R

The aim of this study is to present the concept of closed-coessential submodule and closed-coclosed submodule, the consideration of certain properties. Allow R be a ring with identity  and define F as a  left  R-module on the left, with H and E acting as its submodules, in that sense ,  E≤H≤F then  E  is called closed- coessential submodule in E of H  (E  ≤_(c.ce)   H ) , if    H/E  ≪_c   F/E  .

On the other hand, a submodule  H of F is known as closed-coclosed submodule, if E is closed-coessential submodule of H in F. Finally, in this article we introduce some properties of these types of submodules under some conditions which are in analogy with the known properties for coessential and coclosed submodul

Evolutionary algorithms are better than heuristic algorithms at finding protein complexes in protein-protein interaction networks (PPINs). Many of these algorithms depend on their standard frameworks, which are based on topology. Further, many of these algorithms have been exclusively examined on networks with only reliable interaction data. The main objective of this paper is to extend the design of the canonical and topological-based evolutionary algorithms suggested in the literature to cope with noisy PPINs. The design of the evolutionary algorithm is extended based on the functional domain of the proteins rather than on the topological domain of the PPIN. The gene ontology annotation in each molecular function, biological process, a

Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common pathogen that causes nosocomial infections. The efflux pump, antibiotic resistance and the capacity to form biofilm are significant virulence factors of K. pneumoniae that play an essential role in infection persistence. The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of acrAB-tolC efflux pump genes and whether there is a link between these genes with antibiotic resistance and biofilm formation in K. pneumoniae isolated from various clinical sources. Methods: In total, 174 different clinical samples were collected from Baghdad hospitals. Based on morphological characteristics, culture media, and biochemical tests, only 97

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed disease in women and remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The small non-coding RNA molecule, MicroRNA-208 (miR-208), plays a crucial role in the development and advancement of numerous malignancies, including breast cancer. This study aimed to investigate miR-208 potential as an oncogene in breast cancer by examining its impact on cell motility and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Tissue samples from 25 Iraqi women with malignant breast cancer and 25 with benign breast cancer were analysed. Total RNA was extracted from the samples and real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed using SYBR Green technology to measure miR-208

The study area is located in the Missan governorate in southeastern Iraq including oilfields (Halfaya, Noor, and Amara). Each field was previously studied separately, it was found that the structures were anticline folds. In this study, the three oilfields and the area between them will be studied structurally in one study to find out the extension of the structural axis of these structures within the Lower Cretaceous period, using 2D seismic reflection data. Seismic data improvement was carried out by using some attributes (structural smoothing, second derivative, phase shift, and trace AGC) to increase the visibility, accuracy, and signal-to-noise ratio. Also, the mis-tie correction was performed to match the interpretation pick at the

The exchange of data between customers and organizations has become a major target for hackers who seek to illegally access this data, compromising the three main components of security information: confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA). Structured query language injection (SQLI) is one of the most common forms of cyberattack. However, most of the previous research has only looked at SQLI attacks that target web-based applications. There hasn't been much time to sort the kind of SQLI payload that the client sent into the vast amounts of data needed to create machine learning models. Additionally, there hasn't been a study that looks at the risks of machine learning models making mistakes and how they affect the three informa

This work investigates the chemical and physical properties of water activated by Hybrid plasma, using argon gas. Two ways were used to activate the water: the first one was done by mixing the argon gas and air at atmospheric pressure at two flow rates of 0.7 and 1.0 L/min, and the second, used only atmospheric air. To study the physical and chemical properties of water, 10 cm³ of distilled water was placed in a container made of glass in the form of a dish with a diameter of 5 cm and 1 cm depth; an AC sinewave voltage of 12 kV, a frequency of 20 kHz, and power of 36 watts was used; the exposure time ranged from 1-30 minutes. The generated RONS (oxygen nitrogen reactive species) were quantified utilizing tools designed specifi

      study developed two electrodes using molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) for the selective recognition of Diazepam (DZP). Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) was employed as the cross-linking monomer to polymerize allyl bromide, which acted as the functional monomer. DZP was used as the template molecule during the polymerization process to introduce recognition sites in the polymer matrix complementary to its size, shape and functional groups. For comparison, non-imprinted polymers (NIP) were also synthesized using an identical combination of EGDMA and Allyl bromide as the MIP, but without the incorporation of the DZP template. Evaluations are conducted on the slop is 29.31258 and 25.818933, linearity range (M) 5×10-5-1

     Nigerian fermented food is characterized by high carbohydrate concentration. Widely spread yeast strains in the local fermented food waste amass traits useful to biofuel industry. This study aims to identify,    characterize and assess the level of stress tolerance of local yeast strains residing in food waste produced from Nigerian "fufu," a fermented cassava product. Through the use of morphological, cellular, and amplification of TS1/ITS4 and D1/D2 rDNA sequencing, the yeast strains were identified. To test the yeast strains' resilience to stress, different concentrations of ethanol (15% - 20%v/v), sugar (5% - 25%w/v), and temperatures (30°C - 45°C) were applied. Out of the eight yeast strains, the isolate Y4, also known

     Titanium dioxide nanotube arrays (TiO₂ NTAs) were successfully decorated with nanoclusters of cobalt by an electrochemical deposition method. This Co-TiO₂ NTAs nanostructure exhibited high compatibility with aluminum chloride\ chloroacetamide (an ionic liquid) and calcium chloride dihydrate\ acetamide (a deep eutectic solvent), leading to significant improvements in the electrochemical properties of the system. Significantly, this led to a discernible augmentation in both potential and current values, concomitant with a decrease in internal resistance. The presence of cobalt facilitated a faster transfer of electric charge, enhancing the overall efficiency of the system. Moreover, the incorporation of cobal

In this paper, the numerical and analytical treatment for  the heat irreversibility of thermal radiation and Ohmic heating on Williamson fluid problem is investigated with various physical parameters and  the new initial conditions which poses arbitrary constants. The governing equations are transformed into dimensionless formulas, the ordinary differential equations obtained are then solved  using the BVP4c and  the differential transform method (DTM) . The heat irreversibility analysis is achieved by substituting the obtained results into entropy generation and Bejan number expressions. The results of  numerical and analytical solutions for various parameters are compared. Fluid motion is reduc

     A novel compound, 8-[(E)-(3-hydroxyphenyl)diazenyl]-1,3-dimethyl-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione (PAT), was synthesized via the diazotization and coupling reaction of m-amino phenol with theophylline. In addition, complexes of the ligand (PAT) with [Ce (IV) and La (III)] were synthesized. The structural features of the synthesized compounds were examined using several spectroscopic techniques including elemental analyses [CHN], Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹H NMR). Other characterization techniques employed were magnetic measurement, molar conductance data, thermal analysis (thermogravimetric analysis, TGA)

The QS World University Rankings have become the most widely used basis for comparing universities across the world. Selecting a university is a difficult decision, and this may be particularly true for international students. The rankings of universities have been designed to help students make more informed choices. Informed decision institutions face challenges in analyzing huge data volumes and ensuring generalizability. This study presents a hybrid deep learning model (CNN-LSTM) that addresses these issues, minimizing data requirements and ensuring compatibility. The proposed hybrid deep learning model was compared with five other machine learning models. It demonstrated the highest efficiency, with a mean squared error of 0.0144 an

Some topological games with soft set theory became important in real life techniques, especially, in economics. Throughout the present work, we introduce new types of soft sets, say, - - -open sets and some of their investigations are studied. In addition, some new kinds of soft separation axioms will be defined, and their implications are studied. Finally, numerous sorts of soft topological games that depend on soft separation axioms are investigated. We prove the important conditions that the first and second players win the proposed games.

The study area holds great importance as it is situated in the historically significant region of Karbala, one of the most religious centers in the entire Islamic world. The Al-Hussein and Al-Abbas holy shrines are religious and archaeological sites, for more than 600 years ago. Karbala has more importance for all Islamic peoples because it is the place of Al-Imam Al-Hussein and his brother Al-Abbas holy shrines and martyr graves of Al-Hussein family and friends whom they had martyred beside him in Al-Tuff battle in the year 61 hijri. The word Karbala means soft earth, but historically, it meant life and safety. According to old Iraqi language the name of Karbala was country of safety.
