This research is considered the first of its kind in this sector of the river for more than three decades and aims to evaluate the diversity, abundance, richness and spatiotemporal variations of Cladocera within Samarra Impoundment water. The samples of these crustaceans were collected from three sites in the impoundment every two months between February 2023 and December 2024. We identified 19 taxa belonging to five Cladocerian families. The most abundant genera were Alona sp., Bosmina sp., Chydorus sp., Ceriodaphnia sp., Diaphanosoma sp., Daphnia sp. and Moina sp. The minimum and maximum densities were observed in spring and winter, respectively. The average values for even

Alcoholic extracts and nanocapsules were used at different concentrations, with the alcohol extract being 1000, 2000, and 3000 PPM. Eight out of ten eggs were unhatched, and two hatched, indicating that the 3000 concentrations had the highest egg toxicity rate. Regarding saponins at the same concentrations, the 3000 concentrations had the best results, whereas the 1000 and 2000 concentrations produced poorer results. Additionally, it was discovered that saponins had a stronger effect than terpenes. The nanocapsule concentrations that affected the Callosobruchus maculatus beetle's eg

Non-diatomic algae samples were collected during the autumn season in 2024-2025 from three sites on the Tigris River, including the Samarra pharmaceutical industry, woolen spinning factory, and paper waste landfill, to identify algae resistant to dye pollution. The study found slight temperature variations in three sites, with the highest temperature in the first site being 23.62 ºC and the lowest in the second site being 20.67 ºC. The water was found to be alkaline, with slightly reduced pH values at the first site. The electrical conductivity (EC) values were high, with the highest rate in the first site at 956.

A chemically stable plasmonic material, gold (Au), with hemispherical structures having a radius of 50 nm, is applied to the surface of a D-shaped sensor to create the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect, enabling this SPR sensor to detect variation in the surrounding analyte refractive index (RI). The resonance condition will change when the refractive index of the targeted analyte changes, leading to a certain shift in the loss peak. Two resonant peaks are observed, one located in the visible part of the spectrum, and the second in the near-infrared
