Objectives: Severe head injury is the most devastating neurosurgical condition and it is only next to cancers as the leading cause of death in developed countries.
Because trace elements (TEs) are involved in most of enzymes that drives the biochemical reactions, so they are considered as a window to the biochemical
environment of the body in general and in brain in specific. 
Aim of the Study: This study measured six TEs (Fe, Zn, Mg, Cu, Mn and Co) in 29 patients with severe head injury (GCS Score 3-9); their ages between 5-50 years.
Collection and estimation performed at both Neurosurgical Hospital (NH) in Baghdad and Medical Research Center (MRC) of College of Medicine, Kadhimiyah between Janu

The main objective of this study is to characterize the main factors which may affect the behavior of segmental prestressed concrete beams comprised of multi segments. The 3-D finite element program ABAQUS was utilized. The experimental work was conducted on twelve simply supported segmental prestressed concrete beams divided into three groups depending on the precast segments number. They all had an identical total length of 3150mm, but each had different segment numbers (9, 7, and 5 segments), in other words, different segment lengths. To simulate the genuine fire disasters, nine beams were exposed to high-temperature flame for one hour, the selected temperatures were 300°C (572°F), 500°C (932°F) and 700°C (1292°F) as recomm

   The development of new, cleaner technologies is presently receiving a lot of attention to capture pollutant CO₂ gas. 13X zeolite is one of the most popular adsorbents employed for this purpose. Batch and continuous fluidized beds were used to examine the adsorption capacity. Isothermal and kinetic models for the batch were determined at 1–5 bar and 298 K and 303 K pressure range and temperatures, respectively. The Langmuir model fitted the process with q_m = 4.01 mmol/g and a correlation R² = 0.986. Pseudo-first order was also fitted with a correlation of R² = 0.997. The impact of the inlet CO₂ concentration (5%, 10%, and 14%), the bed heights varied between (5, 15, 25) cm, wit

This study is unique in this field. It represents a mix of three branches of technology: photometry, spectroscopy, and image processing. The work treats the image by treating each pixel in the image based on its color, where the color means a specific wavelength on the RGB line; therefore, any image will have many wavelengths from all its pixels. The results of the study are specific and identify the elements on the nucleus’s surface of a comet, not only the details but also their mapping on the nucleus. The work considered 12 elements in two comets (Temple 1 and 67P/Churyumoy-Gerasimenko). The elements have strong emission lines in the visible range, which were recognized by our MATLAB program in the treatment of the image. The percen

     This study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of a ternary nanocomposite comprising reduced graphene oxide (rGO), magnetite (Fe₃O₄), and manganese dioxide (MnO₂) nanoparticles (NPs). The aim of using it is to remove Terasil Black dye from water, particularly in textile industries. The nanocomposite was created using a co-precipitation method, followed by physical bonding with MnO₂ NPs. The structural properties, surface morphology, and elemental composition were evaluated through X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. The XRD results confirmed the presence of an amorphous phase along with dist

   This study examines wheat genotypes under combined and single drought and salinity stresses, assessing germination and seedling growth traits, as environmental issues like high salinity and drought significantly impact plant life..  The experiment was carried out to meet these goals. To identify the most and least tolerant genotypes, 16 genotypes were tested. Water potentials of 0. -0.5, -1.0, -1.5, and -2.0Mpa were used as treatments to create water stress by adding polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000) and sodium chloride together(D+S). After 15 days of putting seeds in Petri dishes, growth parameters were assessed, including germination percentage (%), speed of emergence (%), seedling vigour index, shoot length (cm), and fresh and drie

Marcescin is a bacteriocin that is extracted from isolates of Serratia marcescens, which is a gram-negative bacterium that belongs to the family Enterobacteraeaceae and is considered a nosocomial pathogenic bacteria. In this research, the toxic effect of crude marcescin extracted from the S. marcescens bacteria on the human laryngx epidermoid carcinoma (Hep-2) cell line was investigated. S. marcescens was isolated from blood, urine, and stool samples of patients from Nursing House Hospital, Baghdad Teaching Hospital, and Teaching Laboratories of Medical City by using a series of dilutions to concentrations of (0.00, 1.95, 3.9, 7.8, 15.62, 31.25, 62.5, 125, 250, 500, and 1000) µg/ml and an exposure time of (24

One of the most important challenges facing the development of laser weapons is represented by the attenuation of the laser beam as it passed through the layers of atmosphere.This paper presents a theoretical study to simulate the effect of turbulence attenuation and calculates the decrease of laser power in Iraq. The refractive index structure C_n^2 is very important parameter to measure the strength of the atmospheric turbulence, which is affected by microclimate conditions, propagation path, season and time in the day. The results of measurements and predictions are based on the Kolmogorov turbulence theory. It was demonstrated by simulations that the laser weapons in Iraq were severely affected due to the large change in temperatures,

Jurisprudential disagreements are a significant source of a vast jurisprudential wealth. Among the manifestations of these disagreements are scholarly critiques raised by some scholars against others, claiming their divergence from the legal evidence or established principles for deducing legal rulings. One such critique is presented by the narrator scholar Abu Bakr Ibn Abi Shaybah, may Allah have mercy on him, directed towards Abu Hanifah al-Nu‘man, may Allah have mercy on him. In his compilation, Ibn Abi Shaybah cited numerous hadiths and traditions that he considered conflicting with the judgments as perceived by Imam Abu Hanifah, may Allah have mercy on him. These issues cover various branches of jurisprudence, including worship, sale

Language is an important means through which one can construct one's social world. Accordingly, the way we view ourselves and the world is basically formed by language use whereby identities, relations, and values are constructed and maintained. Most discourse analysts consider narrative not only the locus of construction and enactment of identity, but also a distinguished genre for its analysis.The present study is concerned with how identity can poetically be informed, hence exploring the way black poets use language when reflecting their identity and culture. The poem, right on: white america by the black American poetess Sonia Sanchez, is chosen to be analyzed based on Simpson's stylistic model (2004). In this model, the ana

The brown trout Salmo trutta Linnaeus, 1758 is an important species for fisheries in Armenia, with a comparatively wide distribution in both wild habitats and aquaculture. Despite its significance and widespread presence, there is limited information regarding diseases and parasites affecting brown trout in Armenia. The aim of this study was to examine the parasite fauna of brown trout in the southern part of Armenia. The research was conducted in the Vayots Dzor Region, as well as at the Scientific Center of Zoology and Hydroecology, and Armenian National Agrarian University. Captured fish were examined using the method of complete parasitological research. Parasites were analyzed under microscope and identified using specialized manual

PMMA films of different thickness (0.006, 0.0105, 0.0206, 0.0385 and 0.056cm) were synthesized by casting process. The temperature and frequency dependence of dielectric constant and AC electrical conductivity measurements at various frequencies (10kHz-10MHz) and temperatures (293-373K) were carried out. Few anomalies in dielectric studies were observed near 313 and 373 K respectively. These points were related to glass transitions temperature. The variation of activation energy and conduction behavior was studied .From the AC conduction studies, it is confirmed that the mechanism responsible for the conduction process is hopping of carriers. The variations of the dielectric constant and loss as function of frequency at different tempera
