The lipid profile and adipokines of an adolescent may be affected by some parasite infections. Recently, it has been discovered that these parasites are connected to body mass index (BMI), lipids and adipokines. The current study, therefore, aimed to specify how Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) affect BMI, lipid profile and adipokines. This study was conducted in Al Madain hospital, Baghdad from October to December 2022. An ELISA test was performed to examine the anti-T. gondii IgG and IgM for a group of adolescents attending the hospital. Based on this examination ninety adolescents were chosen to be involved in the study. They were separated in to two groups: individuals who tested positive for the parasite (n=45) and those who tested neg

During the past forty years, and due to the global climate changes, Iraq had and still suffering from the spreading and expansion of large dune fields in which many new generations have been accumulated, and older ones have expanded leading to the desertification of huge agricultural and urban areas and causing vast environmental problems that have a drastic effect on the life style of the population. To tackle such a problem, many methods have been suggested and even more are applied to fix the dunes or at least to limit their spreading so that to lessen the environmental impact. Such efforts were tried in many dune areas in Iraq, but it was in vain due to the classical nature of remedy that deals only with temporary and limited results

The level of liver enzymes and kidney functions in pregnant women in the second trimester of pregnancy at different age groups was determined. This study is composed of fifty pregnant women in the second trimester of pregnancy and were classified into two subgroups; first group included twenty-five pregnant with an age between 22-30 years, a second group included twenty-five pregnant with an age 35-42 years. A control group included twenty-five non-pregnant, healthy women was also included. Blood samples were obtained from each group, centrifuged, serum was collected from each group to measure liver enzymes (AST, ALT and ALP) and kidney function tests (urea and creatinine) were measured using enzymatic kits. The results of present study

In this research work, some low complexity and efficient cryptanalysis approaches are proposed to decrypt password (encryption keys). Passwords are still one of the most common means of securing computer systems. Most organizations rely on password authentication systems, and therefore, it is very important for them to enforce their users to have strong passwords. They usually ignore the importance of usability of the password for the users. The more complex they are the more they frustrate users and they end up with some coping strategies such as adding “123” at the end of their passwords or repeating a word to make their passwords longer, which reduces the security of the password, and more importantly there is no scientific basis

A series of nine new Schiff bases based on N-(4-acetophenyl)succinimide were synthesized via multistep synthesis. In the first step N-(4-acetophenyl)succinamic acid was prepared via reaction of succinic anhydride with 4-aminoacetophenone. The prepared amic acid was dehydrated in the second step producing N-(4-acetophenyl)succinimide. The prepared succinimide represents a modified methyl ketone bearing succinimde cycle and ready for introducing in condensation reaction thus in the third step the prepared imide was introduced in acid-catalyzed condensation reaction with a variety of primary aromatic amines affording the new target Schiff bases. The results of antibacterial screening of the newly synthesized Schiff bases indicated that they

Cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), was used as surfactant to enhance
the removal of Congo- red (C-R) dye from its solution by employing a wood of
buckthorn tree as a low cost and eco-friendly adsorbent. Different factors affecting
the sorption process like, time of adsorption, wood dose, initial (C-R) concentration
and hydrogen ion concentration have been studied for both adsorbent wood (W) and
modified wood (MW). The suitability of the two isotherm models Langmuir and
frundlich to the equilibrium results was mentioned for the adsorption of (C-R) on
both wood and modified wood. From the value of correlation - factor, frundlich
model give a better fit than Langmuir isotherm model. Thermodynamic function

This study was conducted to evaluate the side effects of Tamoxifenon the lipid profile. 40 rats divided into 4 equal groups,3 groups were given different doses (30, 40, 50)mg/kg body weight of TAM three times a week for 8 weeks as well as control group that was given with physiological solution.At the end ofexperiment, The results showed significant differences in the treated groups were the results showed a significant degrees (p<0.05) in the HDL level in the treatment group (50mg/kg) while the three groups showed a significant increase in the levels of (Ch, TG, LDL, VLDL). The results of the study showed that Tamoxifen caused an accumulation in fats.

     Insect pest management has been dominated by the use of synthetic pesticides since early 1950s. However, lately this control method is not widely accepted due to an increase in environmental awareness, food safety concerns and the increasing number of insecticide-resistant species. In Iraq, the chemical insect pest control is still a dominant control method regardless of the increased pressure to replace it gradually with environment friendly alternatives such as predators, parasitoids, nematodes and entomopathogenic fungi. In Iraq, there is an increasing volume of research that has used different genus and species of entomopathogenic fungi for controlling several agricultural pests. However, these efforts are not yet reflected

Let U be a Lie ideal of a 2-torsion free prime ring R and θ ,φ be commuting
endomorphisms of R . In this paper we generalize the main result of M. Ashraf, A.
Khan and C. Heatinger on (θ ,φ ) -higher derivation of prime ring R to generalized
(θ ,φ ) -higher derivation of Lie ideal by introducing the concept of generalized (θ ,φ )
-higher derivation. Under some conditions we prove that a Jordan generalized (θ ,φ ) -
higher derivation of U is either a generalized (θ ,φ ) -higher derivation of U or
U ⊆ Z(R) and every Jordan generalized (θ ,θ ) -higher derivation of R is a
generalized (θ ,θ ) -higher derivation of R . Also, we generalize this result to
generalized (U,R) − (θ ,θ ) -higher derivatio

In the present work, the different possible interactions between comet tail and the solar wind in the present of the inter-planetary magnetic field (IMF) had been studied. Magneto-hydrodynamic laws (MHD) were used to simulate interactions occurring between comet tail and solar wind using one –dimensional space. The model simulation was achieved using Lax-Wendroff explicit method. The interaction between cometary tail ions and solar wind can be understood by means of spatial distribution of new-generated ions from the comet nucleus with the homogenous flow of the solar wind plasma. The difference between average molecular mass of both types along with step-increase in the number of particles can reproduce the whole shape of the comet ta

This study aimed to test the effect of using different concentrations of three different plants extracts to inhibit the growth of gram negative and gram positive bacteria by two technics. Eucalyptus camaldulensis bark, Glycyrrhiza glabra rhizomes and Morus nigra leaves ethanolic extract at (0,20,30,40 and 50 mg/ml) were used. The antimicrobial activity and the biofilm inhibition assay used with these extracts showed positive effect in inhibiting the growth of bacteria. E.amaldulensis extract showed the higher effect than G. glabra and M.nigra extracts in antimicrobial activity assay, while the effect of E. camaldulensis extract in biofilm inhibition assay was higher than G. glabra that was higher than M. nigra extracts for both gram nega

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of different doses of Duprost in the liver and blood of albino mice. The current study included twenty one albino mice, obtained and grouped into 3 groups: control (3 mice), acute group (12 mice) and chronic group (6 mice). The acute group was subdivided into 4 groups and each group of 3mice, was given a lonely oral dose of (0.25ml, 0.15ml, 0.1 ml and 0.05ml respectively) for 24 hours. Whereas the third group was subdivided into 2 groups and each set was given a daily dose of (0.15ml and 0.05 ml respectively) for 30 days. After the mentioned periods, blood samples from each animal were taken for blood analysis. Then, the mice of all groups were sacrificed and the livers were removed, pro

The PCA is statistical technique that transforms a multivariate data set consisting of inter-correlated variables into a data set consisting of variables that are uncorrelated linear combination. In our project principal component analysis “PCA” was applied for two set of original bands in two dates (bands 1, 5, and 7 in 1988 and bands 1, 5, and 7 in 1990).
In this method the PCA of six channel data sets consisting of multi-temporal LANDSAT TM image pairs often generates higher order principal components that are related to the changes in brightness.
Although the image produced by the first component summarizes the information’s
that are common to all channels, we can see that the first principal component is

The data compression is a very important process in order to reduce the size of a large data to be stored or transported, parametric curves such that Bezier curve is a suitable method to return gradual change and mutability of this data. Ridghelet transform solve the problems in the wavelet transform and it can compress the image well but when it uses with Bezier curve, the equality of compressed image become very well. In this paper, a new compression method is proposed by using Bezier curve with Ridgelet transform on RGB images. The results showed that the proposed method present good performance in both subjective and objective experiments. When the PSNR values equal to (34.2365, 33.4323 and 33.0987), they were increased in the propos

     Nickel nanoparticles (Ni-nanoparticles) were incorporated as an antecedent utilizing nickel acetate and as a reducing agent, extraction plantApiumgraveolens.  The reason  fo choosing  this plant over many other is because it is easily accessible, carries many antioxidants,  non-toxic, and there are no dangerous residues and stabilizing agent at 60℃ under stirrer.

The present paper deals with estimation of compaction parameters from the empirical relationships relating time and velocity of the propagated sonic waves with depth. For this aim two geologic intervals were chosen at Jambur area, the first one is limited between the top of Fatha formation (M. Miocene) and base of Jeribe formation (L. Miocene) while the second one is limited between the base of Jeribe formation and the top of Qamchuqa formation (Albian – M. Cretaceous). Sonic logs data revealed the existence of two Low Velocity Layers (LVL) in these intervals. They correspond to porous saliferous and seepage beds in the first interval. and to the highly fractured and oil bearing carbonate bed in the second interval.

A digital elevation model (DEM) is a digital representation of ground surface
topography or terrain. It can be represented as a raster (a grid of squares) and it is
commonly estimated by utilizing remote sensing techniques, or from land surveying.
In this research a 3D building of Baghdad university campus have been performed
using DEM, where the easting, northing, and elevation of 400 locations have been
obtained by field survey using global positioning system (GPS). The image of the
investigated area has been extracted from QuickBird satellite sensor (with spatial
resolution of 0.6 m). This image has been geo-referenced by selecting ground
control points of the GPS. The rectification is running, using 1st order

Extracting moving object from video sequence is one of the most important steps
in the video-based analysis. Background subtraction is the most commonly used
moving object detection methods in video, in which the extracted object will be
feed to a higher-level process ( i.e. object localization, object tracking ).
The main requirement of background subtraction method is to construct a
stationary background model and then to compare every new coming frame with it
in order to detect the moving object.
Relied on the supposition that the background occurs with the higher appearance
frequency, a proposed background reconstruction algorithm has been presented
based on pixel intensity classification ( PIC ) approach.

This study was carried on 64 Geckos of different sizes collected from five
locations at Baghdad province over a period from July 2002 up to February 2003.
Bacteriological examination of 84 swabs taken from the digestive tract of these
animals revealed that 81 swabs (96.4%) were positive for bacterial isolates. The most
predominant bacteria were Salmonella spp. (50%) followed by E.coli (26.2%) and
Klesiella spp. (14.3%), which were isolated mostly from the small intestine and
feces. The highest frequency of Salmonella infection was observed in Geckos
collected from Al-Mahmodeia and Al-Amereia (100%), (83%) respectively, where
as the lowest frequency (26.6%) was found in Geckos collected from Baghdad

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

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.<

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

In this paper we show the nilpotency of nilpotent derivation of simeprime Γ-ring with characteristic 2 must be a power of 2 and we show the nilpotency of a nilpotent derivation of simeprime Γ-ring is either odd or a power of 2 without torsion condition.

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 new procedure of depth estimation to the apex of dyke-like sources from
magnetic data has been achieved through the application of a derived equation. The
procedure consists of applying a simple filtering technique to the total magnetic
intensity data profiles resulting from dyke-like bodies, having various depths, widths
and inclination angles. A background trending line is drawn for the filtered profile
and the output profile is considered for further calculations.
Two straight lines are drawn along the maximum slopes of the filtered profile
flanks. Then, the horizontal distances between the two lines at various amplitude
levels are measured and plotted against the amplitudes and the resulted relation is a
