In this work, animal bones with different shapes and sizes were used to study the characteristics of the ground penetrating Radar system wares reflected by these bones. These bones were buried underground in different depths and surrounding media. The resulting data showed that the detection of buried bones with the GPR technology is highly dependent upon the surrounding media that the bones were buried in. Humidity is the main source of signal loss in such application because humidity results in low signal-to-noise ratio which leads to inability to distinguish between the signal reflected by bones from that reflected by the dopes  in the media such as rock .

 Charge  transfer (CT) at  liquid/liquid  interfaces are described  theoretically depending on  the quantum theory .A model that derived used to calculate the rate constant  of transport at liquid/liquid  interfaces. The calculation of the rate constant of  charge  transfer depends on  the calculation of the reorganization energy, driving force ,and the coupling coefficient . Large reorganization energies  and large rate constant  for charge transfer ,indicate that the transitions involve more energy to happen . The system have large 𝐸0 (𝑒𝑉) refers that  type  of  liquid  is more reactive media than other liquid types with same d

The morphological description of inner ear in Barbus luteus have been investigated.
The results of the present study revealed that the fish under investigation has a pair of
inner ears which are embedded in two otic capsules of the skull. The inner ear contains two
main structures, the first is the Osseous Labyrinth (OL), and the second is the Membranous
Labyrinth (ML).
Both of (OL) and (ML) consist of three semicircular canal (SCC). These are anterior,
posterior and horizontal semicircular canals (ASCC, PSCC and HSCC).
The (OL) contains three chambers while the (ML) contains saccular structures which
are called otoliths organs represented by utriculus (U), sacculus (S) and lagena (L). Each of
the saccu

New complexes were synthesized from a newly prepared Schiff base ligand (L₂) derived from malonic acid dihydrizde and 2- pyridine carboxaldehyde. The 1H-NMR and ¹³C-NMR spectra demonstrated all the needed peaks to prove the chemical structure of the synthesized ligand (L₂). Utilizing mass spectroscopy, the molecular ion peak was found at m/e 310, confirming the formula weight for L₂, which matches the estimated m+ value (310.12). Accordingly, its Mn (II) and Co (II) complexes were trainedusing glacial acetic acid as a catalyst. These compounds were characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis, C.H.N., chloride-containing, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility, and atomic absorption. The characterization

The study was conducted to identify the immunomodulatory effect of beta-glucan and to compare its immunomodulatory properties with S.boulardii yeast.

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 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 that the dislocation

The Tigris River is the primary source of water for human consumption in Iraq and is the ultimate sink for wastewater generated by activities. This research was conducted between November 2021 and September 2022 using 15 physio-chemical parameters (pH, air and water temperature, EC, salinity, DO, BOD, TH, Ca+, Mg+, SO4, TDS, TSS,turbidity, and Chloride), two heavy metal parameters (Cr, and Al), and biological pollutants to analyze temporal and spatial variation and the effects of pollutants sources on the water quality of the Tigris River from the north to the south of Baghdad city.

Proteus mirabilis is considered the third most common cause of catheter-associated urinary tract infections. With urease production, the potency of the catheter’s blockage due to the formation of biofilm is significantly enhanced. This study was aimed at exploring whether green synthesized ZnO-CuO nanoparticles (ZnO-CuO NPs) can function as an anti-biofilm agent produced by P.Mirabilis.

In the present study, nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO-NPs) were synthesized using the aqueous extract of two leaf plants, Allium porrum (Leek) NiO-P and Apium graveolens (Celery) NiO-G, as reducing agents. The synthesized NiO-NPs were utilized as adsorbents to remove Biebrich Scarlet (BS) dye from water using the adsorption technique. The NiO-P and NiO-G surfaces were characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The batch adsorption experiments were achieved to explore the optimum conditions for the adsorption of BS dye onto the synthesized NiO-NPs, such as NiO-NPs dosage, initial concentration of BS, co

This study included the preparation and characterization of the new guanine derivative (N-((6-oxo-6,9-dihydro-1H-purin-2-yl)carbamothioyl)propionamide), with an exciting chemical structure. The guanine part is a bicyclic heterocyclic base that is connected to a carbamothioyl group by a propionamide linker. This nitrogenous base derivative is prepared in two steps: The first step involves the synthesis of propionyl isothiocyanate from the reaction of propionyl chloride with ammonium thiocyanate in acetone. In contrast, the second step consists of the reaction of ammonium thiocyanate with guanine to obtain the ligand. The study also includes the preparation of new complexes of metal ions (Mn⁺², Co⁺², Ni⁺²,

 This article talks about a model of fractional differential equations to describe how COVID-19 is spread in the world in general and Iraq in particular. The model contains five fractional differential equations. Moreover, we have proven the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the model, found the equilibrium points of the model and checked its stability. Then we solved it using a fractional linear multi-step method. When we compare the results with the data documented by the World Health Organisation (WHO), we find that the total number of active cases in the world are equal to 584498294 on 3/8/2022, and it is similar to what was done with the system. The number of those who have recovered and died  from the disease has also b

Hypothyroidism is one of the most common thyroid diseases in adults. Hypothyroidism is a condition that results from a deficiency of thyroid hormone and can range from being asymptomatic to life-threatening. A decrease in thyroid hormone production in the thyroid gland, a shortage of pituitary thyroid stimulating hormone, or a hypothalamic Thyrotropin-releasing hormone deficiency can cause hypothyroidism. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone deficiency Periostin is classified as both an extracellular matrix protein and a matricellular protein that belongs to the fasciclin family. As a matricellular protein, Postn plays a crucial role in the growth and maintenance of tissues and organs. Due to the limited research on the effects of Postn on the

In this paper, we introduce a new family of distributions based on [0,1] Truncated and propose a new extension for the exponential distribution. The new distribution is called Truncated Nadarajah-Haghighi Distribution, symbolized with {[0,1]TNHE}. This study aims to derive some statistical properties for the new distribution, such as the quantile function, the mixture representation for the probability density function, the

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.
