This study was evaluated the isolation and identification of H.pylori
using conventional methods of histological biopsy for 60 patients with
different ages from 10-75 years old for both sexes with stomach and
duodenal ulcers using urease test and classical culture. The biopsy
samples were collected using laparoscopic. The endoscopy for patients
was undergone by a specialist doctor and under local anesthesia and it has
also been investigating the bacterial antigen in stool samples of patients
with questionable caught the infectious ulcers and adopted phenotypic
tests and biochemical diagnosis of the germ.
The study showed the efficiency of rapid urease test in screening for
H.pylori where the efficiency shown in 41 tissue biopsy and were given
the best results in the routine culture where isolated 44 isolates of
H.pylori from patients under study. When screening for bacterial antigen
exit showed positive results for 34 out of 100 stool samples with
proportion 34%.

The DC to DC applications are used in many industrial, medical
and electronic converters, because of their high efficiency, small size and
light weight. In spite of these features, they suffer from several
disadvantages such as unregulated output voltage and lack of stability due
to the change in input voltage and sudden change in load or system
parameters.
This paper presents the mathematical model of the SEPIC
converter circuit operating in the continuous conduction mode (CCM) in
state-space form and the converter circuit output is investigated. Fuzzy
Logic controller with manual tuning is designed for controlling the
converter circuit. Fuzzy Logic based Bacteria Foraging Algorithm
(FLC&BFA) Controller is proposed to design controller for controlling
the switch operation of the SEPIC converter circuit for regulation of its
output voltage and getting good performance.
Simulation results were analyzed and compared the response
performance of system for different resistive loads and reference
voltages, it was noticed that there was a significant performance
improvement for the controller states used the bacteria foraging
algorithm, compared with the state of fuzzy logic controller with manual
tuning and also compared with the open loop system. also the unregulated
output voltage issue was overcome in the present of external disturbance
and it need a negligible time for tuning.

The widely uses of computer and communication technology in
sending and receiving the message and information need a new
processes and algorithms for protection them and this was done
by Encryption .
The study aimed to design a new algorithm encryption by using
the Sumerian number and numerical system which was innovated
through the induction of a new pictographic picture and they
prepared the recent number since 3000 B.C.
During the research design compensatory encryption algorithm
using Visual Basic to convert the input messages (explicit text),
whether it was letters or symbols or prepare
to form a(symbol) token, which is a series of cuneiform symbols
(cipher text)Incomprehensible to the recipient, leading to lack of
knowledge of the spam message contents and thus increases the
degree of security and hardness information sent And to the fact
that the Sumerian numbers are not known to many people with the
possibility of use in the letters and medical reports encryption
.During the conclusion of the study easily use the algorithm and
the lack of cost or their need additional hardware and high
flexibility. The study also recommended the development of the
algorithm using double encryption more powerful ways which
operates the keys and with the possibility of developed using
encryption methods of programming languages such as (matlab,
vb.net) and the other, in order to increase the strength of
encryption .

In this paper x-ray mass attenuation coefficients of nickel were
measured with precision between 0.2% and 0.5% for four characteristic
wavelengths: copper and molybdenum K lines. The mass photoelectric
absorption coefficients were determined by subtracting the calculated Rayleigh
scattering from the total scattering and the values of measured attenuation
coefficients. The values of the imaginary component of atomic scattering factor
for x-ray in nickel were determined from the difference between the values of
measured attenuation coefficients and theoretical calculations, it is shown that
In the low energy at ω
, and the high energy at ω
, the imaginary
component approximately is zero, and the electrons are so tightly bound to the
atom. In the region ω where the imaginary component of the scattering is
dominate and the electron become highly absorbing. There was good
agreement between the values of the imaginary component of atomic scattering
factor has been found and the values has been calculated by using various
model.

The Heat Pipe and Thermosyphon have been designed, fabricated and tested to
investigate the heat that transfers by two-phase natural convection. Different affecting
parameters on temperature distribution and heat transfer coefficient are experimentally
investigated including the power input (300 to 700W), the filling ratio of the working
fluid(water), represented by a volumetric ratio with respect to evaporator volume
(15%,50%&85%). Two pipes with different inside surface shape were tasted. All tests
were fulfilled at a pressure, a proximity, near atmospheric pressure (1 bar) during
steady state conditions. The experimental results showed that the best filling ratio is
(50%) and the heat transfer coefficient in heat pipe is found to be maximal compared
with The heat transfer coefficient in thermosyphon. The mean temperature difference
between the evaporator and condenser at steady state in heat pipe is found to be
minimal compared with thermosyphon.
A comparison is fulfilled between the current study results and the empirical,
theoretical correlations by other researchers showed that the experimental results were
in good agreement with those correlations.

In this study (4-imidazolidine-4-one) derivative of naproxen was prepared and
diagnosed, while the structural formula of this compound was confirmed using
the (H-NMR, FTIR,13C-NMR) spectrum. (12) Rabbits of close weights were
divided into two groups, the first group is the control group which consists of
(4) Rabbits and the second group is the group that was injected with the
compound, which was prepared and the number of (8) Rabbits. The first
group was given the control group solvent (DMSO), the second group was
injected with the compound (AB) and the dose (50 mg / kg) of body weight per
rabbit. After 2 hours of the dose, a blood sample was drawn from each rabbit
and the plasma was separated. A biochemical and enzymatic study of the
variables was carried out. The measured variables included the activity of
enzymes (cholinesterase, alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase) and
serum cholesterol concentration. The study proved that the compound has
significantly inhibited the cholinesterase activity and can be used in the
treatment of patients with Alzheimer's disease and increase the amount of
neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Inhibiting cholinesterase inhibits the
breakdown of the neurotransmitter and thus will perform the stimulation of the
nervous system naturally, and effectively the compound did not significantly
affect the activity of the enzyme glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase,
glutamate pyruvate transaminase, while the cholesterol level in the rabbit
serum had a significant effect.

results enables us to apply these variables in further studies.

The present research aims at the effect of early thermal gradient( initial
setting) on o.c. concrete compressive strength with the aid of maturity
concept:-
Standard cylindrical 150 * 300 mm concrete sealed specimens ((
content by weight 400 kg/m3
cement) were subjected to a temperature of
4˚C for the duration of initial setting times ( 2 hrs. ) then later (removing
sealed) on to standard temperature of 20 ˚C until 360 days at moisture
and air curred conditions to be finally tested in compression at the
prementioned dates . The same procedure was exactly repeated but the
concrete specimens were subjected to 50˚C at the initial setting times .
The final outcome showed that generally speaking the strength
development was slower for the specimens subjected to 4˚C than those at
50˚C at the initial setting times but,beyond the age of 7 days
approximately until 360 days the compressive strength gains more in
strength for the specimens subjected to 4˚C than those at 50˚C as
compared with same mixture subjected to 20˚C .

This study was designed to investigate the protective effects of the
water extract of the plant Opuntia ficus-indica against the toxicity of
carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in rat males. Seventy five rats were divided
into five groups of 15 rats each. The first group was a negative control
and the other 60 rats were given 1ml/kg.b.w. CCl4 once each 3 days for
12, 18 and 30 days. Then they were divided into four groups, the first
group served as positive control (CCl4 only) while the second, third and
fourth groups were given 0.25, 0.50 and 1ml/100 gm.b.w. of water extract
of the plant daily, respectively. Results indicated that CCl4 caused a
significant increase in the activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT),
aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and
lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Furthermore, CCl4 caused a decrease in the
concentration of glutathione (GSH) and an increase in the concentration
of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the positive control group. As well the
groups were treated with plant extract,showeda significant decrease in the
levels of ALT, AST, ALP and LDH. Other results is significant increase
in GSH and significant decrease in MDA concentration. It was concluded
that water extract of the plant Opuntia ficus-indica ameliorated the toxic effects of CCl4. It is concluded from the present study that the Opuntia
ficus-indica water extract has a protective effect on the liver also
enhancing the antioxidant defense system and suppresses lipid
peroxidation.

Given the importance of the industry and because the quality of the
products reflect the promoted and progress and the advancement of the
economy of any country , including the textile industry one of the most
important industries that require quality. As the methods of automation was
necessary to use computer vision and image processing to increase the speed
and efficiency of this process. Aims of the proposed work to integrate the
image processing methods and intelligence techniques as well as statistical
approaches. Where analysis techniques multiple scales multi-scale and multidirectional multi-orientation as a filter Gabor are used. And this filter has
proven its efficiency in edge detection and give the best features by which
they are distinguished types of defects which you may get during the spinning
and weaving . Hence the formulation of how they can address the installation
of textile and defective areas of the cloth and to identify any kind of flaws in
them. To raise the level of this process when checking woven-fabrics and
identify defects. The proposed work includes two phases, the first phase is to
detects detection in fabric images and the second stage is the stage of
classification defects. At the separation phase image is converted into
frequency space by conversion sinus intermittent (DCT). Then features are extracted and inserted into the Backpropagation neural network where the
separation process is done. Either at the stage of classification are images are
converted into frequency domain by Gabor transmition .And then draw
features images are inserted into the Backpropagation neural network to
classify fabric defects in those images .
To verify the efficiency of the techniques used, live images were
collected as a database of fabrics from the textile laboratory in Mosul as well
as the local market. The fabrics were carefully chosen with fabrics of different
types and colors and fourteen different types of Fabric defects. System was
used (Matlab 2013). Explained the proposed work discrimination ratio
( 97.5%) compared to the results of the other works in the same field
approach.
