     Naturally occurring radioactivity was evaluated in the reservoir rock, surface soil samples, and oil production waste at the East Baghdad South (EBS) Oil Field. The radioactivity of uranium-238 (and radium-226), thorium-232, and potassium-40 were calculated in core samples from four geological formations: Al-Zubair, Al-Khasib, Tanuma, and Hartha Formations, which represent the oil reservoirs in the study area in addition to the natural GR and SGR logs for the oil well in EBS were calculated. The radioactivity of the above-mentioned nuclides was also measured for surface soil samples and waste samples from the site of the oil production industry at the EBS oilfield. The measurements included all the stages of oil production from

     This study aimed to evaluate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP rs-9939609) of the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene with body mass index (BMI) and some biochemical markers in obese patients. The fat and mass obesity (FTO) gene variant specific single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP rs-9939609) with the T to A missense mutation may have a powerful association with obesity. This case-control study included 106 obese patients (57 males and 49 females) and 80 healthy control (40 males and 40 females). DNA was extracted from whole blood, and then the tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system - polymerase chain reactions (ARMS.PCR) technique was used to limit the single nucleot

     The beam transport system is an essential part of any accelerator.  This research investigates how a charged particle beam extracted from a plasma source behaves as it passes through a virtual beam transport system consisting of a series of C-bending magnets. This is done by analyzing the equations of motion of charged particles through this system. In addition, the study investigates the effect of the free drift space regions between these magnets and studies the behavior of charged particles beam passing through the suggested system for both horizontal and vertical planes using a computer program designed for this purpose. The results indicate many focusing regions along the beam path (beam envelop) for both the horizontal an

     The earth's surface comprises different kinds of land cover, water resources, and soil, which create environmental factors for varied animals, plants, and humans. Knowing the significant effects of land cover is crucial for long-term development, climate change modeling, and preserving ecosystems. In this research, the Google Earth Engine platform and freely available Landsat imagery were used to investigate the impact of the expansion and degradation in urbanized areas, watersheds, and vegetative cover on the land surface temperature in Baghdad from 2004 to 2021. Land cover indices such as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Normalized Difference Water Index, and Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDVI, NDWI, and NDB

     Klebsiella pneumoniae is among the most frequent microorganisms isolated from infections of burn wounds. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the distribution of multi-drug resistant (MDR) K. pneumoniae in two burn hospitals and the antibiotic resistance profile in different burn regions of the same patient. It was performed in two hospitals (Al-Zahraa and Al-Karama) in Al-Kut, Iraq, between January and May 2022. Totally, 100 burn swabs were collected from 40 patients of both genders suffering from burn wound infections, with ages ranging between 3 and 50 years. Klebsiella pneumoniae were isolated and identified using conventional methods followed by VITEK^®2 system and confirmed

     Diabetes mellitus (DM), a chronic, clinically heterogeneous condition, is becoming increasingly common all over the world. Insulin deficiency, resistance to insulin's actions on the body's surface, or both may lead to pancreatic beta-cell degeneration. Diabetes makes people more prone to its consequences, the most prevalent of which is diabetic retinopathy (DR). Deep learning algorithms surpass traditional classification models for illness diagnosis on photos of medical problems. Deep transfer learning models for medical DR detection were evaluated using the APTOS 2019 dataset. Deep transfer learning algorithms for medical diabetic retinopathy (DR) detection are being evaluated. MobileNet Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) arch

     Negation is a linguistic phenomenon that can cause sentences to have their meanings reversed. It frequently inverts affirmative sentences into negative ones, affecting the polarity; therefore, the sentiment of the text also changes accordingly. Negation can be expressed differently, making it somewhat challenging to detect. As a result, detecting negation is critical for Sentiment Analysis (SA) system development and improvement and will increase classifier accuracy, but it also poses a significant conceptual and technical challenge. This paper aims to survey and gather the most recent research related to detecting negation in SA. Many researchers have worked and performed methods, including algorithmic, machine, and deep learni

     In the past years, there was an attempt to add one column to the e-abacus diagram, then another work followed by other researchers by adding several columns to the same diagram. At that time, a question remained, is it possible to add a row and later several rows on the same diagram? Or is this not an easy thing except under certain conditions? In this research, we will know when we can take these steps.

     In this paper, a solution to one of the Bicriteria Machine Scheduling Problems (BCMSP) is proposed. This problem focuses on the maximum early jobs time and range of lateness jobs time on a single machine (1//(E_max,R_L )). First, we derive a subproblem 1//(E_max+R_L )  from the main problem which is a special case for the suggested problem. Secondly, both exact complete enumeration and Branch and Bound (BAB) with two new lower bounds with some heuristic methods to solve the problems are proposed. The results prove the accuracy of BAB to solve the problem for n≤110 jobs in a reasonable time. In addition, the accuracy of the suggested heuristic methods is compared with the results of the exact methods.

     Diabetes is associated with endothelial dysfunction, which impairs blood vesselscapacity to maintain vascular tone. Apelin is an adipocyte-produced relaxing factor that has endothelium-dependent and nitric oxide (NO)-mediated vasorelaxant effects. The current study investigated how streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type one diabetes modulates the mechanisms involved in aortic vascular response to apelin, focusing on the role of potassium channels and endothelial derived relaxing factors (EDRF). In this study, precontracted rat thoracic aortic segments were pre-incubated with the NO inhibitor, cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor and potassium channels blockers including: non-selective calcium-activated potassium channel, big conductance ca

The consumption of synthetic, non-biodegradable polymer plastics has drawn attention to growing environmental concerns, prompting the development of other materials, particularly bio-based materials. Biopolymer-based biocomposite materials are plasticized to improve their ductility. In this study, five distinct weight ratios of biopolymers (PA/EOO), 90 wt.%, 80 wt.%, 70 wt.%, 60 wt.%, and 50 wt.% were employed as plasticizers for poly-lactic acid (PA) in a fluid molding process. The mechanical, thermal stability, and morphological characteristics of the blends were each examined using a viscometer measurement (R.V.), tensile properties (TP), a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). All composite mater

Thalassemia is a genetic disease identified by a defect in the production of one or more globin chains. This study was aimed at determining the possibility of using "serum kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1)" and "N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG)" in the diagnosis of early renal damage in thalassemia patients. Serum biomarkers (CBC, urea, creatinine, KIM-1, and NAG) were determined in 45 patients with major thalassemia with an age range of 4-45 years who attended Baquba General Hospital. A significant increase in S.KIM-1 and S.NAG levels in patients compared with controls. The level of KIM was positively correlated with that of urea and creatinine in comparison with control. Also, the level of NAG was strongly positively correla

     In this study, the first kind Bessel function was used to solve Kepler equation for an elliptical orbiting satellite. It is a classical method that gives a direct solution for calculation of the eccentric anomaly. It was solved for one period from (M=0-360)° with an eccentricity of (e=0-1) and the number of terms from (N=1-10). Also, the error in the representation of the first kind Bessel function was calculated. The results indicated that for eccentricity of (0.1-0.4) and (N = 1-10), the values of eccentric anomaly gave a good result as compared with the exact solution. Besides, the obtained eccentric anomaly values were unaffected by increasing the number of terms (N = 6-10) for eccentricities (0.8 and 0.9). The Bessel funct

     This study investigates instantaneous and continuous sources as point, line, and area sources. Gaussian concentration in the case of the puff model with an instantaneous point source inhomogeneous longitudinal diffusion is investigated. The concentration is calculated using different dispersion parameters to get the proposed normalized concentration of the puff model at ground level around the centerline, which is compared with observed data by the Copenhagen experiment and previous work [1].

Also, the continuous point source is used to get the Gaussian plume model in three dimensions using dispersion parameters to compare with the observed concentration data measured by the Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority for Iodine-135
