The aim of this study is to determine the flexural properties of steel fiber as a metal fiber and polyester resin as a matrix. The steel fibers were added to polyester resin at the various fiber volume fractions of 5, 10, and 15% steel fiber, and with different fiber orientations such as woven steel fiber type (0-45) ° and woven steel fiber type (0-90) ° indicate. Hand layup processes in these experiments were used to produce specimens test with the curing time of 24 hr. for the composite at room temperature. The results show that the flexural strength and flexural modulus values for 15 % vol.of woven steel fiber composite type (0-90) ° are (210MPa) and (2.29GPa( respectively. The results above indicate that the woven steel fiber (0-9

This study includes isolation, purification, and identification of algae from different aquatic environments in Baghdad city. Nine unialgal cultures were obtained. These algal cultures included 6 species of blue-green algae (Microcystis aeruginosa, Microcystis flos-aquae, Oscillatoria limnetica, Nostoc carneum, Westillopesis prolifica, Mastigocluds lamiosus), and 3 species of green algae (Mougeotia sclaris, Scenedesmus dimorphus and Chlorella vulgaris). In addition that aerial parts from Convolvulus arvensis were collected. Terpens, alkaloids and phenols were extracted of mentioned plant, and the antialgal activity of extracts types were evaluated in 3 concentrations (5, 10, and 20 mg/ml) by wells and diffused in the agar media.

Information retrieval is the task, given a set of documents and a user query, of finding the relevant documents. Information retrieval applications require speed, consistency, accuracy and ease of use in retrieving relevant texts to satisfy user queries. This paper presents an automatic tool to retrieve documents based on Compact Genetic Algorithm (cGA). The similarity between queries and documents is computed with cosine coefficient, dice's coefficient, and Jaccard coefficient that are used as the fitness functions. Experimental results show that cGA can be successfully applied to information retrieval.

In this paper the problem of, unsteady, hydromagnatic free convective flow of
viscous incompressible and electrically conducting third order fluids past in infinite
vertical Porous plate in the presence of constant suction and heat absorbing sinks is
considered. It is found that the velocity and temperature distribution equations are
controlled by different dimensionless parameters, namely, Grashof number Gr,
prandtl number pr, Eckert number Ec, sink strength s, material moduli β and
coecostic parameter α. An analytic solution for each of the velocity and the
temperature distribution is obtained. The velocity and temperature distributions are
shown graphically taking many cases of Gr, pr, Ec, s,

Calculation of cross section forρmeson production in real photon proton interactions has been carried out in terms of Regge theory. The amplitude of is used for calculating the coupling of the exchanged particle at the photon - vector meson vertex. We only need to replace the coupling of the pion to quarks by the coupling of the exchanged particle to quarks. This coupling has been fixed by the experimental data. A comparison of the model with data shows an excellent agreement.

An Estimation is a direct summation that can produce new data from past measurements. In this study, we confirm the possibility of using the (WEKA) program in estimating the monthly values of some climatological parameters and investigate the influence of the time series' length parameters on the accuracy of estimation for selected regions of Iraq.  Satellite data were used, which represent the monthly values for each of the minimum and maximum temperature, wind velocity, and relative humidity for the 1981 – 2021 time period, the absolute error rate (MAE), and the square root of the error rate (RMSE) with the correlation

( R²) are also identified to test the confidence of the prediction. Using (WEKA) software, which

The effects of yeast extract on embryogenic callus growth of date palm cv. Ashkar were studied. Various concentrations of yeast extract were used ( 0 , 50 , 100 , 250 , 500 and 1000 ) mg/L with two concentrations of the cytokinin 2ip (0 , 1) mg/L. Results showed that the conc. 250 mg/L in the absence of the cytokinin 2ip gave maximum fresh weight and length of somatic embryos , but this was not significantly differed from the control in dry weight. The conc. 50 mg/L in the presence of the cytokinin 2ip gave the highest number of somatic embryos. In addition, it was observed a browning in embryogenic callus at high concentrations of yeast extract (500 and 1000)mg/L. Thus, it is possible to use the yeast extract for growth of the embryogen

The cytosine deaminase was extracted by using organic solvent toluene and the value of specific activity of crude extract was (9.6) mu/mg protein . The enzyme was purified in few steps including precipitating the enzyme by using ammonium sulfate at defferent saturation percent, The optimum percent was 60% saturation percent which gave value of specfic activity of (12.5) mu/mg protein fold of purification was (1.302) times and the yield was 4.82% . Then the enzume solution was passed through DEAE – cellulose column chromatography. The peaks was collected and the value of specific activity was measured which was (358) mu/mg protein, fold of purification was (37.29) times, and the yield was (2.55)%.
The enzyme solution was concentrat

The philosopher and social psychologist Erich Fromm (1900-1980), in his book "Escape from Freedom" highlighted the distinction between the "I" of the authoritarian personality and the "I" of the destructive personality based on their stance towards "the other." The former (the authoritarian self) relies on a submissive, enslaving formula, where the "I" is the master/dominator/controller/strong, while "the other" is the servant/submissive/controlled/weak, essential for perpetuating this formula. In contrast, the latter (the destructive self) relies on an annihilating, negating formula, where the "I" is existence/killer/destroyer/pe

Background: Hydatidosis is a widespread chronic zoonotic disease caused by helminthic larval stage of tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. It has a serious medical and public health problem. Recently many substances are used to activate and modulate the immune system of the host in order to control the cyst growth and development.
Materials and Methods: Protoscolices were isolated from human hydatid cysts and treated with four purified concentrations (25, 50, 75, 100μm/ml) of 1-HP plus hydatid cyst fluid as a positive control group for 4, 24, 48 and 72 hrs period of exposure. Then After 72 hours, the protoscolices which were treated with different concentration of 1-HP were inoculated intraperitonially of m

This paper is devoted to investigate the effect of internal curing technique on the properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC). In this study, SCC is produced by using silica fume (SF) as partial replacement by weight of cement with percentage of (5%), sand is partially replaced by volume with saturated fine lightweight aggregate (LWA) which is thermostone chips as internal curing material in three percentages of (5%, 10% and 15%) for SCC, two external curing conditions water and air. The experimental work was divided into three parts: in the first part, the workability tests of fresh SCC were conducted. The second part included conducting compressive strength test and modulus of rupture test at ages of (7, 28 and 90). The third part i

Background: Sildenafil is a drug that is used to treat erectile dysfunctions, it acts by inhibiting CGMP specific phosphodiesterase type 5, an enzyme that regulates blood flow in the penis. The most common adverse effects of sildenafil are headache, dyspepsia, nasal congestion and impaired vision which includes photophobia and blurred vision. Many dermatological side effects are present like flushing, urticaria, sweating and many others.
