Mullineux in 1979 presented two researches taking in them some special methods of
the partition theory, as he represented a kind of a special partition a mathematical sense
without any proof of it. Fayers in 2009 presented it with its conditions adding another
type pf partition and called the two partitions of Mullineux. The main aim of our work is
to find a suitable partition for the equivalence of these two partitions, where this
equivalence is not always occurred.

Let M be an R-module. In this paper we introduce the concept of quasi-fully cancellation modules as a generalization of fully cancellation modules. We give the basic properties, several characterizations about this concept. Also, the direct sum and the localization of quasi-fully cancellation modules are studied.

Dust Samples depositions over Baghdad, from January to December 2010 were collected. The minerals and the concentration of both light elements (P, S, K, Ti, Mg, Ca, Si, Na, Al, and Fe) and heavy traces elements (Zn, Mn, Cu, Pb, Cr, Ni, As, Sr, Rb, and Co) were measured by using x-ray diffraction and fluorescence respectively. The minerals detected by x-ray diffraction were quartz, calcite, clay, gypsum, feldspar, chloride, and plagioclase. The average range for heavy elements are highly compared with the neighbor countries and similar or less than those reported for other urban worldwide, except for Ni,As,Cr,and Sr which record the highest comparing with other countries. The pH of dust was shifted to alkalinity for all samples with mean

Interleukin-1( IL-1) and interleukin 8 (IL-8) have a major role in initiation of
immune response. These two cytokines are secreted mainly by monocyte. This study
aimed to evaluate the initiation of immune response in patients with acute
lymphoblastic leukemia. Blood samples were collected from 36 patients with ALL
(26 treated and 10 untreated ). Other 10 blood samples were collected from healthy
individuals as control group. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was
used to estimate serum concentration of IL-1 and IL-8. Absolute monocyte count in
each blood sample was determined. The study showed a significant decrease in
serum concentration of IL-1 in treated and untreated patients, whereas

     This study deals with the petrology of the lower succession of the Injana Formation in the Shorr Shareen area, Wasit Governorate, Eastern Iraq. The study revealed that the sandstone is litharenite consists of 45.56% rock fragments, 22.13% quartz and 8.5% feldspars. The matrix is about 8.39%, consisting of silt and clay particles. The cement is variable (carbonates 8.42%, evaporites 1.78% and iron oxides 0.96%). The grain assemblage infers that the source of the rock fragments is nearby. The petrographic analyses indicate that the studied Injana sandstones are immature mineralogically because of their content of unstable constituents, such as lithic fragments and feldspars. In addition, the presence of such fresh feldspars indica

     The North Central Coast of Vietnam has a wide distribution of loose sand which is often exposed on the surface. The thickness changes from a few meters to over ten meters. This sand with the loose state can be sensitive to the dynamic loads, such as earthquakes, traffic load, or machine foundations. It can be liquefied under these loadings, which might destroy the ground and buildings. The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is widely used in engineering practice and its values can be useful for the assessment of soil liquefaction potential. Thus, this article presents some ground profiles in some sites in the North Central Coast of Vietnam and determines the liquefaction potential of sand based on SPT

     Bioethanol is an attractive fuel with higher potential for energy security and environmental safety. Olive solid residues were used as a raw material for the production of bioethanol through the use of different preliminary treatments . Separate treatments with cellulose, hydrochloric acid (HCl 5%), sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄ 2%), and liquid ammonia NH₄OH (20%) were used to convert cellulose and hemicellulose into monosaccharaides. The production of ethanol was observed during the fermentation process using R. minuta under anaerobic conditions.  After 3 days of fermentation, lowest concentrations of ethanol of  0.233, 0.249, 0.261, and 0.275 g/ l were produced from ol

     Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces an extracellular biofilm matrix that consists of nucleic acids, exopolysaccharides, lipid vesicles, and proteins. Alginate, Psl and Pel are three exopolysaccharides that constitute the main components in biofilm matrix, with many biological functions attributed to them, especially concerning the protection of the bacterial cell from antimicrobial agents and immune responses. A total of 25 gentamicin-resistant P. aeruginosa selected isolates were enrolled in this study. Biofilm development was observed in 96% of the isolates. In addition, the present results clarified the presence of pelA and pslA in all the studied isolates. The expression of

Iraq has had more than 10000 km2 of geographical low land areas called marshes.
Enriched with great diversity of natural vegetation and wild life. With increasing
climatic changes and passive man interference phenomena, vast areas of these
marshes have deteriorated through drying out processes at an alarming rate.
According to recent survey achieved by several Iraqi ministries marshes areas have
decreased to about quarter of theS original area. The statistical data and geospatial
information are weak. We monitored, assessed the environmental processes and
detect changes using digitally processed landsat MSS (Multispectral Scanner) and
Spot (System Pour Observation) satellite images that transform haur Ibn Najm

Different transition rates of the nuclear preequilibrium states in the exciton model
were numerically calculated in the present work, as well as the state density and matrix
element of the nuclear interaction. The calculations were based on the two-component
version of the exciton model. Some comparisons were made with earlier calculations,
and the results showed a good agreement. The results were explained on the bases of the
effects of the differences in the particle and hole numbers, as well as the type of the
incident particle and its energy. The conclusions indicated that preequilibrium nuclear
reactions induced by protons differ only by small fraction from those induced by
neurons at low exci
