The influence of environmental factors and agricultural practices on abundance of some mosquito species were studied in the rice fields southeastern Al-Kut City during the period ( 12/7 to12/11/2010) . Rice fields were sampled every two weeks to examine the relationships among water pH ,water temperature ,plant height ,turbidity ,water level, TDS and water conductivity with the number of larvae of each mosquito species. A total (108) larvae of four species belonging to two genera were identified : Anopheles, pulcherrimus Theobald , A. stephensi Liston, Culex pusillus Macquart, and C. theileri Theobald.The ratio of mosquito species as follow: genus Anopheles :.A. pulcherrimus 37.03% and A. stephensi 17.5% .genus Culex :C. pusillus 27% and C. theileri 11.1%. There were a significant positive relationship between two species of Culex while the relationship of both species were negative with A. stephensi . There were a postive significant relationship between both species of Anopheles,and versus that there were negative with C. theileri .The study showed that the large number (0.06) larvae/dip from species C. theileri was collected on (2-6) weeks when rice fields on (Young,Tiller and Mature phases),while the large number (0.23,0.3) larvae /dip from species C. pusillus was collected on the(3-4) weeks when rice field on Tiller phase .In other hand the large number from Anopheles species: A. .pulcherrimus and A. stephensi (0.56 ,0.43) larvae/dip respectively were collected in the eighth week when the rice field in the preharvest phase . This study showed that some ecological factors such as(water temperature ,water pH) more effective on the distribution and abundance of mosquito species especially C.theileri ,while plant height had negative effect on this species . Water turbidity was more effect on C. pusillus , while the TDS and water conductivity were more negative effective on A.stephensi and A.pulcherrimus respectively in the rice field.

The ternary systems constructed on the basis of isotropic properties of various compositions of a hydrocarbon and a short chain alcohol in a low water content were used to carry out the oxidation of Mastic oil, d-limonene and α-Pinene at 30 °C using fungal laccase from Trametes versicolor in the presence of different concentrations and combinations of three mediators ,2,2'-azino-bis 3-methylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid(ABTS), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT) and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) in Laccase Mediator System (LMS) model . The biotransformation was conducted with the use of either free or immobilized laccase on organogels prepared by introducing appropriate amounts of Dioctyl Sulfosuccinate (AOT) microemulsions containing laccase to a second solution of polymer Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) . The main oxidation product of α-pinene was verbenone and verbenol, but low amounts of α-pinene oxide was also detected. Similarly, d-limonene was oxidized to limonene epoxide, while mastic oil was oxidized to α-pinene oxide, limonene epoxide, verbenol, verbenone . In all cases, some of the reaction products remained unidentified. The amounts of unidentified products were rather high especially in the case of d-limonene and crude mastic oil. Mediator Combinations with HBT in different ratio were used for further transformation optimization of the three natural compounds in the ternary systems. Ascorbic and Gallic acids in 40mM concentration also were used in combination with HBT to transform the natural compounds. All combinations revealed different level of oxidation and only one combination of Gallic acid and HBT was unable to oxidize any of three compounds. The natural compounds oxidation rate correlated with the mediator concentration in the reaction mixture, and clear synergetic effect were found when two mediators were present, 10mM ABTS and 80mM HBT , while the best triple combination was 10mM ABTS: 40mM HBT: 40mM TEMPO

The study involves three groups of Balb/c mice, the first and second groups inoculated in the hind footpad (1 x 106), (3 x 106) stationary phase promastigotes of L. tropica respectively, the third group inoculated phosphate buffer saline. The aim of this study was to establish a murine model for human viscerotropic leishmaniasis, and the dissemination of L. tropica to visceral organs tissues of BALB/c mice in order to find out the ability to diagnosis the disease by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as recent application. The samples of liver tissues were collected and DNA was extracted by Promega DNA kit purification. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with kDNA specific primers was used firstly to distinguish the species of parasite which isolate from patient had cutaneous lesion acquired in Iraq where only L. major and L. tropica were expected to be the causative agents. The size difference between the PCR products of L. major and L. tropica allowed differential diagnosis. The smaller product (650 bp) could be identified as derived from L. major, whereas the larger product (800 bp) was due either to L. tropica or to a member of the L. donovani complex which yielded the same size of band. The same primers were used to detect the dissemination of parasites to visceral organs via extracted DNA from liver tissues of infected animals. PCR application was very high sensitive and early diagnosis in liver tissues as a substrate for PCR reaction, all animals of group (1) which infected with (106) promastigotes were negative result at (15) days post-infection, whereas three animals from group (2) which infected with (3x106) promastigotes showed positive result at the same period. All animals except one from group (1) showed positive results at (30) days post-infection. But at the later sequences days all animals were positive.

In this research paper an equipment of the water desalination(solar desalination) has been designed .besides thermal exchange has been examined on its proficiency productivity and performance .empirical results on 3td of march 2010 have shown an increase of the desalination productivity the daily desalination productivity reached 184ml/m2.d this happens because of the existing of the exchanger inside and outside the equipment which increases the productivity by its work as additional plate for concentration inside the desalination because the exchanger has less temperature than the inside plate of the glass cover which works as the thermal exchange between the equipment and the surrounding environment . in this way the water will concentrate over the additional concentrate or in large quantity .

In this paper, we study and analyze five different approaches for gender classification (Male or Female). The purpose of approaches is to extract the main features from face image and for each approach; we used these features as input to the Support Vector Machine SVM classifier for classification process. In the first approach, we implemented the Principal Component Analysis PCA features as input to the SVM classifier. In the second approach, the resulted parameters of Scale Invariant Features Transform approach are used as input to SVM classifier. In the third approach, we implemented Eigenfaces as input to SIFT, and then the results of SIFT are used as input to SVM classifier also. In the fourth approach, we implemented Eigenfaces to be input to Volume-SIFT (VSIFT) and then used as input to SVM classifier. The last, we modified the VSIFT approach and use as input to SVM classifier. The practical implementation results show that the proposed approach (modified VSIFT) gave us high performance of gender classification than other approaches. The training and testing images set consist of number of faces which are obtained from (Computer Vision Science Research Projects). The aim of this paper is to analyze and discuss the results of applying the eigenfaces into the new proposed approach of modifying Volume-SIFT for classifying the faces into its gender.

Background : open biopsy has been considered the gold standard in establishing or ruling out carcinoma of the breast. Women suspected of having breast cancer are usually referred for breast biopsy to determine whether the lesion is benign or malignant and whether further treatment is needed.
Purpose: to analyse the results of open surgical breast biopsies of 2 years interval
Methods: Patients who underwent lumpectomy, wide local excision and incisional biopsy of a breast mass in Al- Karama Teaching Hospital / Wasit Governorate from January 2009 through December 2010 were included in the study.
Results: A total of 70 patients with 70 open biopsies were identified and analysed. The mean age was 32.5 years. Within the malignant group the average age was 45.25 years. Out of the 70 biopsies included; 30 (42.85%) were malignant,13(18.62%) were fibroadenoma,11(15.70%) were fibrocystic disease, 7(10%) were of duct ectasia, 3(4.28%) were fibroploreferative disease and 6 (8.5%) were of another pathology. Conclusions: The rate of malignancy in open breast biopsies increases with age reaching a peak in forties. We recommend that all women above the age of 40 presenting with a palpable breast lump to have their lump excised even though the lump is suspected to be benign.

Traditionally, to achieve low resistivity and high transmission indium-tin oxide (ITO) films were deposited at elevated substrate temperatures about 400o C. In some cases, films deposited at low substrate temperatures can then annealed at higher temperature to achieve lower resistivity. In this paper thin films of ITO with various oxygen flow rates were prepared by ion-assisted electron beam evaporation at ambient substrate temperature. The electrical and optical properties of ITO thin films have been investigated as a function of oxygen flow rate, rate of deposition and the layer thickness. The transmittance and optical band-gap energy were measured by spectrophotometer, whereas the sheet resistance was measured using four-point probe method. It has been found that at 25 sccm oxygen flow, 0.4 nm/sec rate of deposition and 140 nm layer thickness were suitable for improving the properties of ITO films. The optical transmittance, optical band-gap and the resistivity were 92%, 4.2 eV and 175x10-4Ω-cm, respectively.

To study the behavior of compacted gypsiferous sandy soil during soaking and leaching process , samples were selected from a site at Baquba city .Soil has no gypsum, mixed with different amounts of gypsum ( 10%,20%,30% and 40% ). Experiments which are carried out on this soil ,indicated that by using of standard Proctor test, the maximum dry density decreased with the increase gypsum content and optimum moisture content decreased slightly initially and then increase until reached 18.4% and then decreased with increasing gypsum content . As expected, increasing gypsum content increase the settlement recorded during soaking and leaching process .The settlement obtained by soaking gypsiferous soil is more than that obtained by leaching process

Due to the energy crisis and pollution problems, investigations have focused on decreasing fuel consumption and lowering the concentration of toxic components in combustion products by using alternative, non-petroleum and non-polluting fuels. While conventional energy sources such as natural gas, oil and coal are non-renewable, alcohol can be coupled to renewable and sustainable energy sources. In this study, the combustion characteristics and emissions of diesel fuel and methanol blends were compared. The tests were performed at steady state conditions in a four-cylinder DI diesel engine at full load at 1500-rpm engine speed. The experimental results showed that diesel methanol blends provide significant reductions in CO, unburned HC, and limited increase in NOx emissions. In addition, a reduction in engine noise was demonstrated by increasing methanol portion in blends.

Ytterbium doping provides high capacity for producing large gain per unit length, and versatility in pump optimization for a given gain length .The paper presents gain characteristic of Ytterbium doped Fiber Amplifier in terms of amplifier length, Yb ion density, pump power and signal power at pump wavelength λp =910 nm and signal wave length λs =975 nm s. A maximum gain of (39, 37 and 33dB) obtained for pump powers (150, 100 and 50 mw). The gain occurs over short length (tenth of centimeters) of the amplifier and increase with increasing Yb ion density. It begins to be moderately saturated when ion concentration exceeds 1.3 e+025. After certain pump power gain values become saturated while it decreases rapidly by increasing signal power.
