C- reactive protein (CRP) is one of the biomarkers that elevated in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is the most common endocrine disorder, affecting 5-10% of women at reproductive age. It is also called hyperandrogenic anovulation (HA) due to a hormones imbalance in women. Risk factors that predisposing to PCOS including; obesity, decreased physical exercise and family history with PCOS. This syndrome is characterized by overproduction of androgen and ovulatory dysfunction which are accompanied by many clinical and biochemical features including hirsutism, acne, ovary cysts, menstrual irregularities, obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperinsulinemia and glucose intolerance. This study was aimed to: 1. measure serum levels of CRP, total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, HDL, VHDL, in addition to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI), in women with PCOS and to compare the results with that of healthy women (Controls). 2. Compare serum CRP, total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, HDL and VHDL in normal weight women patients with BMI matched controls. 3. Compare serum CRP, total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, HDL and VHDL in obese women patients with BMI matched controls. The present study includes thirty (30) women with PCOS and thirty (30) healthy women served as control. All subjects' age range was between 15 to 40 years, then each group classified into two subgroups depending on BMI. Blood samples were collected and serum was obtained to measure CRP and lipid profile. Polycystic ovarian women group exhibited significantly increased serum levels of CRP (p= 0.001), cholesterol (p= 0.009), triglyceride (p=0.0001) and LDL (p= 0.0001) when compared to healthy control group. BMI also increased in polycystic ovarian women group although it is statistically not significant when compared to controls. Moreover, the serum levels of LDL and HDL in polycystic ovarian women showed non statistical differences when compared to the controls. Our results indicated that CRP is one of biomarkers in obese women with PCOS. Its high level associated with adiposity rather than PCOS itself. PCOS has negative impact on lipid metabolism in normal body weight women and adiposity is played important role in pathogenesis of lipid abnormality in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome. We concluded from this study that obese women with PCOS having high CRP therefore are more prone to dyslipidemia (atherogenic) and they should routinely screen to prevent further metabolic and cardiac diseases.

The study designed to evaluate the inhibin B and sexual hormones levels with atherosclerosis. One hundred volunteers resecived at private laboratory between 4/2017 to 7/2017in Kirkuk city (eighty volunteers with atherosclerosis and twenty apparently healthy subjects) were used. Then, volunteers divided to two groups. The first group was including apparently healthy and the second group was including patients (Wt:70-90 kg and age average 50-65 years). Laboratory diagnosis showed a decrease in inhibin B, Testosterone, Lutenizing hormone (LH) follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in patient group. Moreover, all parameter levels showed significant (P<0.05) decrease in all patients compare with all healthy subject group. It was concluded from this study that the atherosclerosis may led to decrease in an inhibin B and sexual hormones levels.

In this research, three pyrrolidine compounds (P1-P3) were synthesized and then tested for efficacy against L. infantum promastigotes in vitro.
The study included preparation of some chalcones and schiff bases then the condensation of both to get the pyrrolidines and studying the effect of pyrrolidine compounds in growth, generation number and time of parasites. They determined using concentrations between (5-30) μg/ml. The effect of the compounds was found to be important to the parasite growth as the more the concentration the less the growth, generation number and increased the generation time. At the logarithmic phase, the LD50 were (10), (20) and (30)μg/ml for (P1-P3) compounds, respectively.

Two silver nanoparticles containing compounds were prepared by simple chemical reactions and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infra-red spectrum (FTIR) and atomic force microscope (AFM). These functionalized silver nanoparticles were used to study their biological activity against four types of fungi. These compounds proved to have high inhibition effect against all types of studied fungi. Due to the presence of silver nanoparticles which increases nystatin and clotrimazol interact with the fungi

The Mawat ophiolite complex is of Cretaceous period as a residue of oceanic crust covers about 200 km2, Northeastern Iraq.. The serpentinite rocks are exposed as a diapir in the northeastern suture Zagros zone of Iraq near Beetwat village, The field study and petrography reveal two types of serpentinite, the shear and massive, with three serpentine varieties. The serpentinite rocks are affected by secondary processes such as diagenesis, metamorphism and hydrothermal alteration in different degrees. Some common Textures in these rocks are pseudomorphic such as mesh or sieve textures, glass hour and bastite texture. Nonpsedomorphic textures appear also in these rocks such as interpenetrating fibrous, interlocking textures. Mineralogically, the massive serpentine minerals are lizardite and chrysotile that affected by recrystalization and replacement of lizardite. The (XRD) analysis explain that the serpentine is composed of lizardite, chrysotile, antigorite, in addition to amphibole minerals (anthophyllite and tremolite), chlorite talc, and opaque minerals as chromite.

porous Silicon (PS) Layers were prepared by photochemical etching using Sun Light as a Source of energy for the first time instead of industrial Sources of light Such as Lasers, Halogen and tungsten lamps. That was used to preparation (PS) by photochemical etching. Silicon Wafers n-type (100), resistivity (10Ω.cm), (40%) HF Acid, with different illumination intensities(power density) (1758, 3956, 6182 and 8902)mw /cm2 were obtained using different Lenses with different diameters (40, 60, 75 and 90) mm, focal length (13,18,41,45) cm respectively and constant etching time (60min). The morphology of the surface was studied by using an (atomic force microscope) (AFM) and (scanning electron microscope) (SEM) results shows formation of groups of pores and crystals in (nm)size with different diminution are distributed in etched area in wavy forms. The thickness of porous layers ranged from (50.06 3.68, 3.79 and 3.39) nm and the diameter of the particles are(84.06, 59.42, 51.12 and 34.8)nm respectively. The current voltage characteristics for ALthin/n-si/PS/ALthin device fabricated by sun light photochemical etching technique showed a rectifying behavior which improved with increasing light intensity.

The Pulse laser deposition technique was used in the preparation of nanoparticle solutions (CdO) using Nd:YAG laser and five deposition energies (400, 500, 600, 700 and 800 mJ) with fixed pulses (300 pulse and 6 Hz) was used .
(CdO) nanoparticles were deposited on glass substrate at (300C°) to study structure properties and formed thin films of thickness (200 nm). The grain size of cadmium oxide nanoparticles in ethanol have been found to be affected by the laser energy , The results of the AFM tests showed that the higher the deposition energies, the greater the higher the grain size.

Rapid advances in optical technology have created potential solutions for enabling high capacity networks. The main problem in optical communication in the Ministry of Communication at the Republic of Iraq is dedicating a small bandwidth for each user. Most of the previous works have focused on modifying the characteristics of Array Waveguide Multiplexer (AWG) in the designing level. However, designing of optical communication is expensive which makes these efforts unpractically. Therefore, to develop multi-target communication over the current infrastructure, this paper investigates the performance of the AWG at the components level. In the beginning, an analysis is performed of an AWG at data rates of (8×40Gb/s, over 242.5km fiber optic link) with minimum system impairments. The presence of (Passive/Active) components is taken into considerations. The evaluation is performed using Optisystem software simulation package. By adopting (4.0402dBm) total input signal power, the simulation has achieved (0.3545dBm) total output signal power, (-3.6856dbm) total gain, (1.4248dBm) total output noise, and the average power is (-6.4255dBm). Furthermore, the transmission rates are successfully transmitted delivered in a low-cost infrastructure. Moreover, with the presence of multiple users on a single link, the transmission is performed with a high rapidity in addition to a minimum error. Consequently, the simulations can be applied to the existing fiber communication networks with ultimate reduction of the

Let R be a commutative ring with identity , and M is a unitary left R-module”, “A proper submodule E of an R-module M is called a weakly quasi-prime if whenever r, s ∈ R, m ∈ M, with 0 ≠ rsm ∈ E , implies that rm ∈ E or sm ∈ E”. “We introduce the concept of a weakly quasi 2-absorbing submodule as a generalization of weakly quasi-prime submodule”, where a proper submodule E of M is called a weakly quasi 2-absorbing submodule if whenever r,s,t ∈ R, m ∈M with 0≠ rstm ∈ E , implies that rsm ∈ E or rtm ∈ E or stm ∈ E. we study the basic properties of weakly quasi 2-absorbing. Furthermore, the relationships of weakly quasi 2-absorbing submodule with other classes of module are elistraited.
