A two-dimensional model is constructed to simulate the flow regime of the
upper part of Dibdibba sandy aquifer in Safwan-Zubair area, south of Iraq. Although
the Dibdibba Formation is a multi-layer system in the surveyed area, the suggested
conceptual model which is advocated to simulate the flow regime of aquifer is fixed
for one layer, i.e., the activity of the deeper aquifer is negligible. The model is
calibrated using trial and error procedure in two stages: steady state followed by
transient state. The outcome of the calibration process demonstrated considerable
spatial variations in transmissivities and storativites of the aquifer system. A very
good similarity between the observed and simula

Let H and K be separable complex Hilbert spaces, and let B(H,K) be the space of bounded linear operators from H to K. If H=K we write B(H) for B(H,H).In this note we study separating vectors for separators on B(HK) that have representations of the form , where AB(H),BB(K) and CB(K,H).

The present paper deals with the study of petrophysical and dynamic properties of (207) plugs which were taken from rock cores of Khasib Formation at five oil wells (No.2, AM-1 AM-2, HF-3, and HU-1) located in Missan area, South of Iraq.
A comparison was made for the studied properties deduced from laboratory and from the available well logs. (35) predictive equations are established to estimate the effective porosity, permeability, in terms of the properties that are obtained from resistivity sonic, radioactivity and neutron porosity logs. These equations showed that multiple correlation coefficients (R) have ranged between weak and excellent. Statistical relations regarding the calculated and the observed values of these propertie

Yoshida and Adachi’s diploid genetic algorithm- the so-called pseudo-Meiosis genetic Algorithm (psM GA)- was focused on preserving population diversity and adapting the population quickly to problem changes. The large population diversity provided by psM GA with good adaptation to the problem changes were effective and sufficient to tackle non-stationary traveling salesman problem. They did not apply this genetic algorithm to other problem domains, like bit-coding problems. Hence, in this paper we revisit the psM GA, apply it on bit-coding problems so as to see the effect and search power of this genetic search algorithm on this problem domain.

Hence, this study aims to assess the contribution of programmed cell death protein 4(PDCD4) miR-21, miR-449b and PDCD4 genes polymorphism in breast cancer pathogenicity. A total of 180 blood samples were collected from Iraqi women aged between 15-80 years, 120 samples were included from breast cancer patients (divided into two groups of 60 patients under treatment and 60 post treatments and recovery) then 60 healthy women as a control group. The extracted genomic DNA was amplified by PCR technique for the loci of interest and PCR products of the tested samples were genotyped using TaqMan real time

The Heavy Metal Pollution Index (HMPI) has been used to assess the quality of surface and groundwater drinking water in the Hawija region, where residents use groundwater for drinking. Forty groundwater samples were collected from the Hawija region's wells and analyzed in the Acme Laboratories in Canada. The results of this study were compared with the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) and the World Health Organization's (WHO) classification of water quality and its suitability for different uses. Five samples (12.5%) had low pollution levels during the low flow season, 26 samples (65%) had medium levels, and nine samples (22.5%) had high levels. Thirty samples, a mean of 75% of the total groundwater samples obtained during the hig

Al-Najaf refinery produces many pollutants from fuel combustion, such as fumes and gases, which lead to heavy metal pollution in the soil. This research aims to study the pollution factors in the soil surrounding the refinery. Five soil samples were collected from different sites to analyse five heavy metals (Ni, Zn, Co, Cr, and Pb) to determine the chemical pollution level. The results found that the percentage of the metal (Co) in site No.3 was the highest due to its presence near the oil flame and toward the direction of the wind. Three different indices were applied to detect pollution levels: geo accumulation index (I-geo), pollution load index (PLI) and contamination factor (CF). The I-geo for Co, Cr, and Pb showed class 1 relative
