The calculation of design loads on offshore wind turbine structures is a complex process. So, ‎this thesis is performed to study and investigate the influence of environmental conditions on ‎hydrodynamic loading acting on foundations of fixed offshore wind turbine. For this purpose, (5-‎MW) NREL monopile foundation was chosen. The foundation of wind turbine was tested at the ‎intermediate water region with water depth (25m). The dimensions of the foundation and water ‎depth beside wave properties were modelling by using Froude relationships with scale ratio (1:100). ‎Two-dimensional (regular) and non-breaking waves were tested. Morison equation for non-‎diffracting case was used and programmed by using (C++) language to compute the wave forces. ‎This equation delivers the sum of drag and inertia force. Inertia force is proportional to acceleration ‎wave particle while the drag force is related with the velocity particle. The two coefficients of ‎equation (C_M,C_D), inertia and drag respectively are estimated according to Det Norske Veritas ‎‎(DNV) standard. A classical linearized wave theory has been developed by Airy based in this ‎paper, this theory has been used to estimate the kinematics properties (velocities and accelerations) ‎of the wave particles. Numerically, the wave will simulate by using (AQWA) solver in (ANSYS-‎‎19.0) workbench. It was shown that the wave forces is related with the height and frequency of ‎wave, it is increase when one or both of wave height and wave frequency increase.‎

Behcet’s disease (BD) is a rare relapsing systemic inflammatory disorder with a chronic, relapsing- remitting course of unknown etiology, current knowledge suggests that BD could follow an autoimmune process triggered by an infectious or environmental agent in genetically predisposed individuals. BD has been hallmarked predominantly by oral aphthosis, genital ulcers, and chronic relapsing bilateral uveitis, all of which represent the “stigmata” of disease. However, many other organs including the vascular, neurological, musculoskeletal, and gastrointestinal systems can be affected. BD occurs most frequently in Eurasian populations along the ancient trading route known as the “Silk Road” which extends from eastern Asia to the Mediterranean basin. The diagnosis of BD is only supported by clinical criteria and requires the exclusion of other diagnoses based on clinical presentation. There are no pathognomonic laboratorial findings of BD. This rare disease often leads to blindness and fatal systemic involvement. Main causes of death include major vessel disease and central nervous system involvement. Corticosteroids are commonly used to treat clinical manifestations of BD in combination with immunosuppressant drugs. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-blocking agents such as Infliximab, Etanercept, and Adalimumab have been reported to have success in patients with BD

Security of Information are a key concern, particularly with the extension growth of internet usage. This growth comes the incidents of unauthorized access which are countered by the use of varied secure communication techniques, namely; cryptography and data hiding. More recent trends are concerned with DNA used for cryptography and data hiding as a carrier exploiting its bio-molecular properties. This paper provides a review about published DNA based data hiding techniques using the DNA as a safeguard to critical data that transmitted on an insecure channel, to find out the strength and weaknesses points of them. This will help the future research in designing of more efficient and secure data hiding techniques-based DNA.

The study was conducted in the laboratory of fish belonging to the Department of Animal Production at the Technical College of Musayyib for the period from February 23 to March 16/2019 , the experiment included four treatments, namely control treatment (t1) and salt group (t2) and live bacteria group (t3) and killed bacteria group (t4), by 20 A common carp Caprinus Carpio fish per treatment.the aim of the study was to identify the effect of bacterial infection in the gene expression of the gene IL-10 and compare this expression between three tissues, namely liver, spleen and muscle tissue .Regarding the gene expression of the IL-10 gene, the treatment of live bacteria (t3) showed the highest gene expression compared to the rest of the liver, but it But it made little difference with the B-actin gene (23.71). In the spleen, the gene expression of the IL-10 gene was highest in the fourth treatment (t4) (23.29), but it was lower than the comparison gene B-actin (25.76) for the same treatment. In muscular tissue, the gene expression of IL-10 was higher in the control treatment (t1) compared to the rest of the treatments, but Gene expression was the least in the comparison gene β-actin compared to the rest of the treatments. Regarding the relative expression of the IL-10 gene (relative to the comparison gene and control treatment) in the liver, the live bacterial treatment (t3) recorded the highest relative expression of the IL-10 gene (728.6) followed by the treatment of the killed bacteria (t4) (22.86) by a highly difference from Salt (t2) (1.16) . in the spleen, the treatment of the bacteria killed (t4) was the highest relative expression (2112.8) by a highly difference with the second and third treatments (15.5,3.09 respectively). In muscle tissue, the relative expression of the IL-10 gene in second, third and fourth treatments were lowest than in the control treatment relative to the β-actin gene. We conclude that the highest expression of the IL-10 gene appeared in the liver when bacterial infection occurred and was not the case in the spleen and muscle tissue

Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is considering one of the important complications in lower urinary tract hematuria, hemorrhage and dysuria are most common symptom .In hemorrhagic cystitis, short-term hematuria can also be seen in bladder infections as a result of viral infection. Viral cystitis represents another form of non-bacterial urinary tract infection affected adult and children. Human polyomavirus BK type I and V, Adenovirus types 21 and 11 and CMV viruses also can be cause of hemorrhagic cystitis. The aim of the present study work was to find out the relation of polyoma virus BKVS with acute syndrome consists of hematuria and studying the sequence and molecular genotyping of such virus with certain immunological factors among infected patients. This study was performed on two hundred and thirty bloody urine and blood specimens were collected from patients that were selected to eliminate other causes of hematuria, the patients group comprised 170 male and 60 female age group 6 -65 years. Patient samples (Urine and serum) were collected for detection of Human polyoma virus (BKVS) by using conventional PCR technique and immunological parameters. All bloody urine cultured on ordinary media to differentiate between viral and bacterial infection. The result of current study was found that 154 samples (67%) have positive bacterial culture which excluded and the other 76 samples(33%) give negative bacterial culture were included as suspected a viral cause of hematuria. All negative culture cases was classified as 4(5.26%) patients with glomerulonephritis ,15 (19.73%) chronic renal failure,14(18.42%)urinary tract infection ,27(35.5%) kidney transplantation ,16(21.5%) cystitis. The age range distribution mostly in age group more than 50 years at 21 (27.6 %) as higher percent in comparison with other age groups as well as the male percentage higher than female. All urine patients 76 with 25 urines samples of control were analyzed by Convention PCR for detection BVS. It was found only 9(11.8%) as a positive result. There were different immunological parameters used to evaluate function immune system such as IFN-α, IFN-ɤ, TNF-α, CD4 and CD8, to maintain the disease status. The result of IFN-α IFN-ɤ, CD4, CD8 showed a higher significant level in comparison with control samples at P value (< 0.05), while the ‘result of TNF-α showed no significant difference in comparison with control. It is noted that the result of CD4 and CD8 in relation to age group showed that the age > 50 years have higher level of infection than other. The percentage of BKVS is more dominant in adult age in both sexes, mostly at age more than 50 years. Bioinformatics was used for specific primers designed from the data base sequence information, for capsid protein genes (vp1, and agno) genes in (NCBI) and Sequencing of DNA And Sequencing analysis were used to diagnosis genes of BKVS .
Conclusion: This study showed that the detection of Human polyoma virus in bloody urine could be applicable in hospitals laboratories by rapid decony cell. It reported the application of qPCR assay for rapid specific and highly sensitive for confirmative detection of BKVS as causative agents in hemorrhagic cystitis. The elevation level of immunological factors(CD4,CD8,TNF-α,IFN-α and IFN-ɤ) act as monitor the immune response to effectiveness of BK virus on Hemorrhagic cystitis patients by ELISA assay. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis reported that Baghdad and Al-Najaf population are infected with hemorrhagic cystitis induced by BKVS is more predominantly with newly genotype.

Most of the foodborne microbial diseases are linked to foods of animal origin such as milk, meat, and poultry usually have toxic and infectious nature, caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites and chemical materials that inter to the human body by contaminated food and water. Nowadays, the presence of (MDR) multi-drug resistant pathogens in foods is becoming an increasingly concern about public health in all worldwide due to the excess of antimicrobial drugs in the feed of animal. The MDR pathogens can enter in to the food chain and formation a big danger to both animals and consumers. MDR pathogens causing infections are no care due to their resistance to various type of antibiotics, primarily cephalosporin and carbapenems and to their (ESBL)- extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing capability. In addition, foods of animal origin and environments related to the food can be likely vehicles and spreading of gene of multi-drug resistance, which accelerates the expansion of global antibiotic resistance. This paper reviews the role of animal origin food as a vehicle for MDR pathogens, stressing the contribution processes of food, environments, and storage conditions in spread and reduction of (AMRs) antimicrobial resistances. Controlling on growth of MDR microorganisms and limiting the transmission/expression of AMR genes in the ecosystems of food could be an effective reducing pathway, putting the focusing efforts on food processes as a part of the AMR in foods. Biological protective cultures are also used as a promising and environmentally friendly technic to reduce the incidence of MDR pathogens, though caution is taken as microbial starters and probiotics can also carry AMR. Finally, applying Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) and predictive microbiology, within a Risk Assessment framework, is key to get insight into those mechanisms and conditions along the food chain favoring or reducing AMR.

The digital economy became the model global economy as the last stage for the devolvement of the economy and it considers as a result of using the information technology in different economic fields, such as what happened in all our life activities. The growth, integration, and sophistication of information technology and communications is changing our society and economy. Consumers now routinely use computer networks to identify sellers, evaluate products and services, compare prices, and extra market leverage. Business use networks even more extensively to conduct and re-engineer production processes , streamline procurement presses , reach new customer and manage internal operation

This study had been conducted to investigate the effect of using premix that been locally mixed by different concentrations (Low , Standard and high) of excellent quality (used in starter and grower rations) and normal which is used in the finisher as alternative for foreign premix (provimi , excellent and normal) with comparison of their effect on some blood parameters of broilers. Total number of 120, one day old broiler chicks , Ross 308 were allotted randomly on 4 equal treatments , each treatment included 30 chicks and each treatment included 2 replicates (15 chick/ replicate). Chicks fed on rations according to ages of chicks (starter, grower and finisher) in which 2.5 % of one premix added in the experiment which were as follow : Treatment 1 (T1) in which the foreign premix was mixed as an imported one, provimi. Meanwhile, the other treatments T2 , T3 and T4 in which the local premix was mixed by 3 concentrations (low, standard and high) respectively. Mixing and preparation of rations was done in Al – Ghadder laboratory and factory in Al – Mahweel/ Babylon by depending on Best mix program, 2018 according to birds requirement, Ross 308 by a special manual 2014. Blood samples were collected from birds at 28 and 33 days in all treatments. Results revealed significant variations (P<0.05) between treatments in hemoglobin , lymphocyte numbers, total protein and blood glucose with a highly significant effect (P<0.01) for liver enzymes which include AST and ALT. Meanwhile, there were no variation in other blood parameter such as PCV, numbers of Heterophils and Heterophils / Lymphocyts ratio. The best results were recoded for T4 (local premix of high concentrations) in most of studied blood parameters for both two blood collections (28 and 33 days of age of chicks). Which were cellular or biochemical then T1 (provimi imported premix). The lowest similar levels were characterized by T2 and T3 which were local premix, low and standard respectively

Image processing algorithms was more effected in modern processes to evaluate the flame characteristics such as height, length and thickness by taking digital image for flame by high speed camera for three different fuel types diesel, biodiesel and biofuel of jet flame by depend upon more variables effect such as mass flow rate, diameter of nozzle and compressed pressure. We will be applying two different mathematical methods in order to measuring some characteristics of diffusion flame. Where one depend upon Wiens distribution of a black body with MSR math-lab processing and another depend upon the intensity of the flame. These operations target to enhancing the exactitude of image segmentation and resolution. Secondly, feature extractions of the visible and infrared line images are performed, and the recognition of the target image is further completed. Finally, image fusion is performed by weighted averaging of the targets detected by visible light and infrared images The image properties are investigating by increase the knowledge of the color and resolution of digital image and enhancement the origin image by applying the concern algorithm and less the noise. The results show that the algorithm of retinex is suitable to analysis the digital image and not distortions on it

The oral cavity is a complex environment system where certain bacteria coexist with human chemical compounds. However, changes in the natural structure of the bacteria may lead to the onset of oral disease, such as periodontitis and tooth decay. A number of different environments exist in the human oral cavity, colonized by more than 600 types of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, including the teeth, gingival sulcus, hard and soft palates, and tonsils, but only a limited number of these types can cause tooth infection . The purpose from this study is an attempt to establish which characteristics associated with biofilm formation—virulence determinants of S. mutans—are responsible for the development of dental caries The review concluded the bacterial components that contribute to each of the major virulence properties and these are work together in the development of dental caries
