Thirty-two soil samples were collected from the study area in October 2020 for geochemical and pollutants investigation of Shwan Sub-basin soil. All soil samples were analysed for different geochemical analyses. The analysis results revealed that the pH values in soil samples ranged from 7.12 to 7.56 with a mean of 7.327. According to the pH values detected in the soil samples, the soil is classified as neutral soil. The electrical conductivity ranged from 0.92 mmhos/cm to 7.8 mmhos/cm with a mean of 1.53 mmhos/cm. Thus, according to the detected electrical conductivity values, the soil was classified as non-saline to slightly saline. The organic matter ranged from 1.14% to 1.45% with a mean value of 1.326 %, while total organic

Show MoreIn this study, the potential combined effects of silver (AgNPs) and silicon dioxide nanoparticles (SiO2NPs) on male albino mice which were exposed intraperitoneally to the 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg and mixed concentrations of nanoparticles (NPs) for periods of 2 and 4 weeks, were evaluated. The evaluation was performed by examining the haematological and biochemical parameters, in addition to the bioaccumulation of NPs in the liver and kidney. The results showed that the platelets count significantly increased in all exposed groups, while red blood cell count (RBCs) decreased in most exposed groups. White blood cells (WBCs) and haemoglobin (Hb) showed different levels in the exposed groups. Serum aspartate aminotransfera
... Show MoreThis work introduces a novel design of a compact broadband metamaterial (MM) absorber with polarization-insensitive, wide-angle reception for ambient electromagnetic (EM) power harvesting applications. The proposed MM unit cell consists of two layers of low-cost FR-4 substrate. The top layer contains a resonator structure and four lumped resistors. A copper sheet, serving as a ground plane, is placed on the backside of the bottom layer to reduce transmission losses. The top and bottom layers are separated by a thin air layer to enhance absorption at operational frequencies. The overall size of the MM unit cell is 12×12×4.57 mm³, with measurements of 0.16λ₀×0.16λ₀×0.06λ₀ at the lowest frequency in the absorption spectrum. Th

STLAC was prepared via chemical activation through impregnation with potassium hydroxide, followed by carbonization under controlled conditions. The physicochemical characterization of the prepared activated carbon has been confirmed. Response surface methodology (RSM) with central composite design (CCD) was utilized to optimize four operating parameters: flow rate, initial phenol concentration, bed height, and pH. A quadratic mathematical model was developed to describe the relationship between these parameters and removal efficiency. Results demonstrate the hi

This study introduces a system for helping people maintain safe distances from one another, thereby decreasing the transmission of infectious diseases in crowded public spaces. Real-time video footage from surveillance cameras was processed by the cutting-edge “You Only Look Once” ver. 8 (YOLOv8) computer vision model, which can detect and segment individuals in images. YOLOv8 was combined with an embedded system that includes an Atmel 8-bit AVR microcontroller and an Arduino Uno board, a buzzer, and an LCD. This proposed system can generate alerts when people breach the set social distancing limit of 0.5 m.
... Show MoreIn this study, cefixime (CFX) was removed from aqueous solutions by using activated carbon (AC) made from broad bean peels (BBPs). To evaluate the adsorbent performance, a conventional experimental approach (one factor at a time) was applied to clarify the impact of the most influential variables (i.e., pH, contact time, and adsorbent dosage) and identify the maximum adsorption capacity. The optimization approach of response surface methodology with a Box–Behnken design (BBD) was employed to investigate the synergistic influences of the three independent variables and determine the optimum experimental conditions. Removal efficiency (%) was evaluated at different pH (2–10), contact time (10–150 min), and adsorbent dosage (0.1–2

This interaction is changing the shale strength as well as its pore pressure relatively near the wellbore wall. In several oilfields in southern Iraq, drilling through the Tanuma formation is known as the most challenging operation due to its unstable behavior. Understanding the chemical reactions between shale and drilling fluid is determined by examining the features of shale and its behavior with drilling mud. Chemical interactions must be mitigated by the selection of suitable drilling mud with effective chemical additives. This study is describing t

Overlapped have been prepared from epoxy resin material added to carbon Nanotube and percentages weight (0.1, 0.05, 0.01) % Studied the mechanical properties of the composite (bending, tensile an d hardness) has been found that the Flexural and tensile modulus of the composites were higher than the pure epoxy resin this may be due to the high mechanical strength of carbon nano tube (CNT). The hardness of the epoxy carbon Nanotube composites increased and the reason is due to increased overlap and stacking between the additives and material basis, which reduces the movement of polymer molecules leading to increased resistance to scratching material and cutting, will become more resistance to plastic deformation.
Diyala Governorate was exposed recently to high flood waves discharged from Hemrin Dam to Diyala River when the dam reached its full capacity. The recently recorded discharge capacity of Diyala River was reduced to just 750m3/s. This exposes cities and villages along the Diyala River to flood risk when discharging the flood waves, which may reach 3000 m3/s. It is important to manage, suggest, and design flood escapes to discharge the flood waves from Hemrin Dam away from Diyala River. This escape branches from Hemrin Lake towards Ashweicha Marsh. One dimensional hydraulic model was developed to simulate the flow within the escape by using HEC-RAS software. Eighty-two cross-sections were ext

The ongoing research to improve the clinical outcome of titanium implants has resulted in the implementation of multiple approaches to deliver osteogenic growth factors accelerating and sustaining osseointegration.

We have previously shown that PEA promotes fibronectin organization into nanonetworks exposing integrin- and growth-factor-binding domains, allowing a synergistic interaction at the integrin/growth factor receptor level. Here, titanium discs were coated with PEA and fibronectin and then decorated with ng/mL doses of BMP-7. Human mesenchymal stem cells were used to investigate cellular resp
