Kidney stone disease is a highly significant clinical issue that poses a serious threat to both global health and the economy. For the sustainability of good health and well-being of kidney stone patients, this study aimed to elucidate the role of the enzyme glyoxylate reductase and hydroxypyruvate reductase (GRHPR) in the formation of the kidney stones and their development. There are many different types of kidney stones, but calcium oxalate kidney stones are the most prevalent in Iraq. In this study, 50 Iraqi patients with calcium oxalate stones (25 males and 25 females) were compared to 30 healthy control groups (17 males and 13 females). The biochemical tests for kidney function, such as serum urea, creatinine, and uric acid, were d

The study was conducted to identify the immunomodulatory effect of beta-glucan and to compare its immunomodulatory properties with S.boulardii yeast. In this study, S.boulardii yeast was used to extract beta-glucan. The yeast was activated using a YPD medium, its purity was examined, and the following operations were performed on it: The biomass of S.boulardii yeast was grown in a vibrating incubator. The biomass was isolated, collected, washed, and dried. Extracting beta-glucan using the acid-base method for S.boulardii yeast is considered the best  extraction method. Beta-glucan was partially purified using 4% phosphoric acid. Chemical tests were conducted on it and its functional properties (abilit

     The research is demonstrating the use of an X-ray diffraction pattern obtained experimentally from barium oxide powder. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the barium oxide nanoparticle sample was analyzed through the program to obtain the mean intensity width values and use these values to extract the particle size for all diffraction pattern lines using the Scherrer method. The nanoparticle size was calculated for each barium oxide line. Then the dislocation density was calculated through two mathematical equations, one of which depended on the particle size and the other depended on the integral breadth, a comparison was made between the results of the two dislocation densities and the particle size, where it was found

Mesoporous silica was developed to transport metoprolol tartrate (MPT). The data obtained from the kinetic experiments of adsorption of 15 ppm of MPT drug at 293 K was fitted in the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion models. The results show that the adsorption process obeys the pseudo-first-order equation and the rate-controlling step, not just the intraparticle diffusion step. The MPT drug load onto mesoporous silica was 15.13 mg/g. The release profile shows that the MPT drug was about 55% released after 40 min when released in water, while in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) media, the release reached 90% after 60 min at body temperature (37°C). Three kinetic release versions, including first-order, K

This paper presents two important contributions to the field of numerical analysis for third-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs). First, a new class of direct implicit Runge-Kutta (RK) processes, called RKTDIO, is introduced as solutions to third-order ODEs. Secondly, it develops the ERKTDIO method, which is an embedded pairwise diagonal implicit RK method. The study begins by introducing the theory of relevant-colored trees and B-series as fundamental concepts. By utilizing the order constraints, two RKTDIO methods are derived: a fifth-order method with three stages and a sixth-order method with four stages. In addition, an embedded method called ERKTDIO6(5) is derived, which has orders six and five. The derivation of the embed

In the current study, 100 different clinical samples were collected in Baghdad hospitals, including Teaching Laboratories Hospital, Medical City, Baghdad Teaching Hospital, and Martyr Ghazi Hariri Hospital, for a period from May 2022 to September 2022. After diagnosis, we obtained 19 isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from different clinical sources, including burns, wounds, urinary tract infections, otitis media, and blood. Cultured all samples on MacConkey, cetrimide agar. Then it underwent several microscopic and biochemical tests. Included are: Oxidase, Citrate utilization, Triple sugar-iron (TSI), catalase, Gelatinase, Motility and Ornithine decarboxylation tests. Pseudomonas aeruginosa susceptibility to 11 antibio

While transmitting data across a network, it is important to keep in mind that some fields may contain sensitive information. One of the most pressing concerns, then, is the protection of private information. The confidentiality and integrity of an online video are the primary concerns of the suggested approach in this work. Video compression using Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), video encryption, and video decryption are the three components that make up the proposed study. The data is encrypted using one of the most used block cipher algorithms, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) technique. The real-time needs of frame decoding can be satisfied by a software implementation. Our research leads us to believe that this has the po

This scientific study aims to introduce a new type of topological space, called "Grill v-space", with the aim of contributing to scientific knowledge in this field. New generalizations were developed for both the local function and the Kuratowski closure function in order to generalize their concepts. Subsequently, these generalizations were used to define a new topology based on the concepts associated with the grill and the v -space. The set of v -open in v -space is defined as the sum of the set of v -open forms in v -space when the grill consists of the subsets of P(X) except the

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a modern phenomenon that is used in a variety of industries, including intelligent transportation, smart cities, healthcare, games, and education. The use of IoT applications to enhance the quality of higher education has become a crucial subject in the discipline of teaching research. The objective of this research is to find out whether educational institutions could incorporate higher education and the Internet of Things by utilizing the technological acceptance model. For the purpose of achieving this, the University of Mosul was chosen to identify the position of faculty members in this field. The study proposes a model consisting of factors adopted from the TAM Theories. A quantitative approach has b

The red palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790), which belongs to the family Curculionidae, order Coleoptera, is one of the most important palm pests, which leads to heavy losses in date palms. In the last few years, it has been recorded in Iraq, from Safwan city south of Iraq, where it was detected on date palm trees (Phoenix dactylifera L, Arecales: Arecaceae). In the current study, specimens of adult weevils were collected from infested date palms (Phoenix dactylifera), that showed signs of infection in Safwan district, south of Basra province. The results of the investigation showed the presence of phoretic mites associated with the red palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier,

In this paper, we define a cubic positive implicative-ideal, a cubic implicative-ideal and a cubic commutative-ideal of a semigroup in KU-algebra as a generalization of a fuzzy (positive implicative-ideal, an implicative-ideal and a commutative-ideal) of a semigroup in KU-algebra. Some relations between these types of cubic ideals are discussed. Also, some important properties of these ideals are studied. Finally, some important theories are discussed. It is proved that every cubic commutative-ideal, cubic positive implicative-ideal, and cubic implicative-ideal are a cubic ideal, but not conversely. Also, we show that if Θ is a cubic positive implicative-ideal and a cubic commutative-ideal then Θ is a cubic implicative-ideal. Some exam

Machine scheduling problems (MSP) are     considered as one of the most important classes of combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, the problem of job scheduling on a single machine is studied to minimize the multiobjective and multiobjective objective function. This objective function is: total completion time, total lead time and maximum tardiness time, respectively, which are formulated as  are formulated. In this study, a mathematical model is created to solve the research problem. This problem can be divided into several sub-problems and simple algorithms have been found to find the solutions to these sub-problems and compare them with efficient solutions. For this problem, some rules that provide efficient solutio

The main goal of this work is to achieve an acceptable agreement between the obtained results and previously published results of the electrical conductivities of Krypton and Xenon weakly ionized plasma gases, which are strongly affected by the electron number density N_e and electron collision frequency. When the electron energy distribution function (EEDF) is calculated, it shows a decrease with increasing the energy for all reduced electric field values (E/N). The above calculations are done in terms of the Boltzmann transport equation solution by using a numerical technique based on the two-term approximation method, which is represented by the common code "BOLSIG+." Calculated electrical conductivities of each Xenon and Kr

In this paper, we introduce a new one-step iteration process in Banach space and prove the existence of a common random fixed point of three non-expansive multivalued random operators through strong and weak convergences of an iterative process. The necessary and sufficient condition for the convergence of a sequence of measurable functions to a random fixed point of non-expansive multivalued random operators in uniformly convex Banach spaces is also established. Our random iteration scheme includes new random multivalued iterations as special cases. The results obtained in this paper are an extension and refinement of previously known results. A new random iterative scheme for approximating random common fixed points of three random non

This article studies the nonlocal inverse boundary value problem for a rectangular domain, a second-order, elliptic equation and a two-dimensional equation. The main objective of the article is to find the unidentified coefficient and provide a solution to the problem. The two-dimensional second-order, convection equation is solved directly using the finite difference method (FDM). However, the inverse problem was successfully solved the MATLAB subroutine lsqnonlin from the optimization toolbox after reformulating it as a nonlinear regularized least-square optimization problem with a simple bound on the unknown quantity. Considering that the problem under study is often ill-posed and that even a small error in the input data can have a l

In the current research, the properties of even-even nuclei with a mass number (A≥100) for (^100-124₄₈Cd ) isotopes have been studied. This included distortion parameters () derived ,from an Intrinsic, electric, quadrupole, moments (₀ )and deformation ,parameters  originate from a reduced ,

Although not uncommon worldwide, consanguinity has been a part of Arab culture and tradition as a means to strengthen tribal blood relations. However, this type of union has been linked to inherited diseases, particularly those of a recessive nature (e.g., hemoglobinopathies). Furthermore, several recent studies have documented highly significant associations between consanguineous parentage and common multifactorial diseases, including but not limited to hypertension, mental disorders, and several cardiovascular diseases. In Iraq, the prevalence of consanguinity is very high and still on the rise. This has resulted in an increased prevalence of inherited diseases and has significant negative impacts on Iraq’s limited economy. To addre

The set of all (n×n) non-singular matrices over the field F this set forms a group under the operation of matrix multiplication. This group is called the general linear group of dimension  over the field F, denoted by . The determinant of these matrices is a homomorphism from  into F* and the kernel of this homomorphism was the special linear group and denoted by  Thus  is the subgroup of  which contains all matrices of determinant one.

The rational valued characters of the rational representations written as a linear combination of the induced characters for the groups  discuss in this paper and find the Artin indicator for this group after study the rational valued characters of the rational representations and the induce

Eighty eight isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were obtained from Central Child Teaching Hospital, Imamin Al-Kadhimin Medical City, Baghdad Teaching Hospital, National Center for Educational Laboratories, Imam Ali Hospital, Ibn Al-Baladi Hospital, as well as (38) clinical isolation obtained from previous studies and (22) environmental isolation obtained from previous studies and it was studied the effect of the type of cultural medium, temperature and different pH numbers in the production of pigments. The results showed that the isolates of Pseudomonas clinical (Pc18) and (Pc40) had the ability to form green pigments after 24 hours of incubation in the nutrient broth and after 72 hours in the heart infusion broth and

        In this study, nickel cobaltite (NC) nanoparticles were created using the sol-gel process and used as an adsorbent to adsorb methyl green dye (MG) from aqueous solutions. The adequate preparation of nickel cobaltite nanoparticles was verified using FT-IR, SEM, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. The crystalline particle size of NC nanoparticles was 10.53 nm. The effects of a number of experimental variables, such as temperature, adsorbent dosage, and contact time, were examined. The optimal contact time and adsorbent dosage were 120 minutes and 4.5 mg/L, respectively. Four kinetic models—an intraparticle diffusion, a pseudo-first-order equation, a pseudo-second-order equation, and the Boyd equation—we

  The term end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is often used to describe people who have the last stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and are undergoing dialysis or a kidney transplant for treatment. Hemodialysis (HD) is the most prevalent technique that is utilized to eliminate waste and other hazardous chemicals from the body. The study aims to assess the role of serum Urokinase plasminogen activator (UPA) levels among Iraqi hemodialysis patients. The study encompassed 50 patients aged 40–74 years (21 males and 29 females) admitted to the Iraqi dialysis center at Baghdad Teaching Hospital for the period from October 2022 to February 2023. They were diagnosed based on previous medical reports and laboratory and clinical tests by a cons

        Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has a high predisposition to many cardiometabolic risk factors that increase susceptibility to severe complications of COVID-19 and also exhibit an increased likelihood of subfertility. Therefore, women with polycystic ovary syndrome may be disproportionately affected by this epidemic and its related consequences. The accumulation of extra body fat that has the possibility of affecting health is referred to as obesity, which is the outcome of an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure, whereby more calories are consumed than are expended through exercise. This study investigated the relationship between angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 and insulin resistance and other parameters in PCOS

One of the most efficient anthracycline anti-cancer medications, doxorubicin, is used to treat lymphoid malignancies. Intercalation with deoxyribonucleic acid is a key component of its primary chemotherapeutic mode of action, which can ultimately lead to heart failure. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine whether the ethanolic extract of Ammi majus had any cardioprotective effects against doxorubicin toxicity in mice. 48 mature Albino male mice were separated into six groups and distributed as follows: for 14 days, Group I: "negative control" received distilled water; Group II: mice received a single oral daily dose of 64 mg/kg of Ammi majus seeds extract; Group III: mice received a single oral daily dose of 1

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health issue that is linked to  early death and low quality of life. Management in its early phases may lead to better health results. Chronic inflammation related to  advanced CKD, as indicated by higher levels of different pro-inflammatory cytokines or impacted levels of acute-phase proteins. This study was carried out in order to assess the roles of interleukins (IL-3 and IL-22), some  kidney functions, complete blood count (CBC) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in CKD progression. Commercial enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits were utilized to calculate interleukin (IL-3 and IL-22) levels in the serum of 60 patients with CKD (age range 20-87 years) and 30

Baghdad is considered one of the most crowded cities, and it is the location of all government institutions, making it a destination for people from all other provinces. This results in increased traffic density, which in turn leads to increased emissions that contribute to air pollution in the form of gases and particulate matter. This study was conducted from July to December 2022 in the Karkh district of the city, where the Salahuddin highway was divided into five sites based on the presence or absence of plant barriers on either side of the road. PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 pollutant concentrations and climatic factors were measured at each site during morning and afternoon peak hours. The study found that concentrations exc

Nuclear energy levels in  with modest occupancy of the fp-LS shell have been studied within shell model calculations. The interactions used to determine the nuclear energy levels are FPD6, KB3G, and FPY using the fp shell and d3f7cospn for 1d3/21f7/2 model space. Results are compared with each other, and with the existing experimental data, there is clear agreement with some results. Aside from the excellent agreements in the replicated values of energy levels scheme, using model space interactions is the best-fitted two-body matrix element in the fp shell model space. Particularly below 3MeV, the overall estimation of the replicated data is excellent. The wave vectors and analysis are represented in the so-called diagrammatic notation,

   A global scientific study found that reducing the excessive and indiscriminate use of antimicrobial medicinal drugs in all their forms significantly improved food safety. We made aqueous and organic extracts (Ex1, Ex2, and Ex3) from two plants (Origanum majorana and Matricaria chamomilla) to create the best alternative form for antimicrobial preventive agents that cause food spoilage. Traditional methods determined the most essential compounds in plants, and we used the FTIR analysis technique for all treatments to observe impurities such as glycosides, alkaloids, flavonoids, carbohydrates, and phenolic substances. This study points to synergistic activity for plant extracts (Origanum majorana and Matr

Manganese dioxide nanoparticles were synthesized by the green method using leek with Manganous Sulphate Monohydrate, (MnSO₄.H₂O) in an environmentally friendly manner. The obtained MnO₂ particle was characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), field scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and (UV-Visible) spectroscopy. The X-ray diffraction pattern showed peaks belonging to manganese oxide nanoparticles; 34.07 nm is the average crystalline size. From the field-scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) image, the surface morphology shows that the nanoparticles are spherical and rocky in shape. An atomic force microscopy (AFM) atomic force microscope was used to show MnO_2<

  The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of waste water from the Dora refinery's treatment unit on tomato Lycopersicon esculentum grown in three types of soil taken from the same area, with consideration to the number of leaves, lycopene, and beta-carotene content in tomato yield, as well as the plant's ability to absorb the toxic compounds furfural and -1, 2 dibromoethane. The experiment was carried out using pots in the glass house belonging to the Department of Biology, College of Education for Pure Sciences/Ibn Al-Haytham, University of Baghdad, for the seasons 20/9/2022–19/3/2023. The experiment included 45 treatments with 3 types of soil (clay, mixed, and sandy), and each type of soil had 5 treatmen

Requirements elicitation is recognized as one of the most critical activities in the software development process as it has an impact on its success. Studies such as the CHAOS Report, a study based on The [Standish Group]'s CHAOS Research Project on IT project success rates and project management best practices report, indicate that about half of the factors associated with project success are related to requirements. Previous studies showed several problems related to requirements elicitation. This paper tried to find out the existing requirements models for software projects and how to develop a new requirements model for software projects. The requirements system was developed by Visual Studio 2019. Online model verification was condu
