This study aims to visualized 3D GIS vector data and build system operate through creating a new tool added to ArcMap Geographic Information System (GIS). This new tool automatically visualizes 3D GIS vector layer of an agricultural lands extracted from integrating GIS databases resources without needed to raster layer or any 3D drivers such as DirectX or OpenGL Dll libraries. This paper introduce a new usage for the surface flattening method that by applying it on GIS vector layer and it database. surface flattening used fast marching and classical MSD techniques to find texture coordinates. The scene is rendered using ray casting rendering. Moreover, barycentric coordinates is used as an interpolation method in texture mapping process. Some techniques like lighting, rotation and anti-aliasing, are applied to accomplish the proposed system task. The 3D scene resulted from the texture mapping method in proposed system are have minimum distortion for the textured surface compared with the scene resulted from ArcScene software and obtained a fine look. The system is developed using Visual Studio. Net C# which linked with ArcMap GIS to allowing for the system application to access to the GIS database resources.

Four hydrocarbon degrading bacterial species were isolated from diesel contaminated soil in Hilla city .The isolates were identified according to cultural and biochemecal tests .It showed that they belong to gram negative species and identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa ,Serratia marcescens , Pseudomonas flouresence and Alcaligens eutrophus. The ability of isolates to degrade hydrocarbons were tested towards three HC compounds , engine oil,gasoline and kerosene at 37˚C for 30 days . These isolates exhibited significant differences in their efficiency of degradation depending on total viable count (CFU/ml) , electrical conductivity (EC µS/cm) and emulsification index (E24). The more efficient isolate was Pseudomonas aeruginisa as indicated from the increase in the viable count to reach 2.8× 109 ,3.7 × 109 and 5.3× 109 (CFU/ml) using a given hydrocarbon component , as a sole source of carbon respectively. Bacterial consortium of the isolated species was prepared. The capability of hydrocarbon consumption was studied. It showed an increase in their activity for biodegradation by increasing of electrical conductivity which reached 82 compared to 52 , 43 , 38 and 34 for the previous mentioned species.

In this study, sixty urine samples (60 samples) were obtained from patients suffering from urinary tract infections (UTIs), who have attending to Hilla Teaching Hospital for Surgery Department of Urology for the period from April to August 2012. These samples were identification by biochemical test to diagnosed types of bacteria, it was found that 20(33.3%) of the isolates were E. coli while other gram negatives were found in small in number, 2(3.3%) isolates for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 7(11.6%) isolates for Klebseilla pneumonia and one(1.6%) isolates for Proteus mirabilis. On the other hand the isolated Gram positive bacteria were 18(30%) for Staphylococcus aureus and 5 (8.3%) Staphylococcus fecalis, 3(5%) isolates for Streptococcus agallagtia and 4(6.6%) isolates from streptococcus pyogenes. Mannose resistance hemoglutinin type IV was studied, it was found that all isolated have this variance factor. Also, hemolysin production by gram- positive and gram-negative bacteria isolated from urinary tract infection was studied, and it was found that E. coli, Pseudomonas, and Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus fecalis, streptococcus pyogenes. Proteus mirabilis have able to produce hemolysin as show narrow zone of β- hemolysis around colonies on blood agar plate, while Klebseilla, were non hemolytic which no color change around the bacterial colonies on blood agar. Extracellular protease production by gram- positive and gram-negative bacteria isolated from urinary tract infection was detected in this study, and it was found that all isolates of this study (E. coli, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus fecalis streptococcus pyogenes, Proteus mirabilis and Klebseilla) have able to produce protease production in M9 media (supplemented with 20% glucose and 1% gelatin) after 24 hours of incubation. A clear hallo of transparent area was found around the colony after the addition of 3 ml of 5% trichloroacetic acid. On the other hand, it was detection of lipase production, it was found that Klebseilla and Proteus mirabilis give appositive results, while E. coli, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus fecalis, Streptococcus pyogenes give variable results.

Three samples were collected to the test ability of tannase production from these isolates was studied semi quantitative and quantitative screening appeared that Aspergillus niger A2 was the highest tannase producer.
Aspergillus niger A2 was grow in liquid medium under different available condition for tannase production were inoculation with 2.2x104 cell/ml of fungus in medium containing 1% (W/V) tannic acid at 25 C for 5 days.
Tannase production reached 4 U/mg proteins in these conditions; tannase was precipitation from production media by 80% saturation of Ammonium sulphate with 4.2 U/mg protein. The enzyme obtained from this step was particularly purified with 1.3 fold of purification and 62.6 yield.

In this study, eighteen male mice weighing (30 ± 2 gm) were used throughout the experimental study. The animals were divided randomly into three groups each group consisting of six animals. Group (I) mice acted as a control. Group (II) (intoxicated group) were received single dose of APAP (500mg kg−1 body weight, i.p.). Group (III) mice were pre-treated with honey (600mg kg−1 body weight, p.o.) for 8 successive days, and then the mice were intoxicated with APAP. Hepatotoxicity caused by APAP and the protective effect of honey in mice was studied by assessing serum Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels, and histopathological study of liver. In Group (II), APAP increased ALT and AST level significantly compared with control group. Pre-treatment of honey prior to APAP administration decreased the increment of ALT and AST level. The histopathological examination of the liver showed that honey reduced the incidence of hepatocyte damage induced by APAP. It was concluded that honey may attenuate the hepatotoxic effect of APAP and it could be used as an effective hepatoprotector against APAP-induced liver damage.

Thirty five patients aged between seven months and twelve years. Eighteen Males and seventeen females were the subject of the study on Leishmaniasis. Twenty four patients had low white blood cell count (WBC) 11 patients were normal. Neutrophils were normal in 29 patients and higher in 6 patients.
Platelets counts were low 36x103-180x103 in all patients. Lymphocytes counts were 64.5% which is normal compared to the average (30-65.9%).

Ingots of Al and Al-Ni-Cr (contains 0.25,0.5,0.99,1.98 at.% Ni-Cr) alloys were prepared by melting together wire aluminium, powder nickel and very small pieces of chromium in an electric furnace at 800 oC under an argon atmosphere. XRD analysis after exposed the alloys to annealing at 560 oC for 1300 hr showed the emergence and growth of three binary phases: Al3Ni(Orthorhombic, a=6.598Ǻ, b=7.352 Ǻ, c=4.802 Ǻ), Cr9Al17(Rhombohedral, a=12.910, c=15.677 Ǻ), and Ni2Cr3(Tetragonal, a=8.82 Ǻ, c=4.58 Ǻ) in addition to unknown phases. The crystallite size decrease with increasing Ni-Cr contents exception the ratio 1.98 at.%. The results refer to rising of microhardness three times when raised the alloy density 0.1 g/cm3.

A large unit cell (LUC) formalism of eight atoms within intermediate neglect of differential overlap (INDO) is used to study some properties of cubic aluminum nitride, and to study the effect of pressure on these properties. Cohesive energy, direct and indirect band gap, valence bandwidth, conduction bandwidth and hybridized orbitals of crystal are obtained from the band structure calculations. All the aforementioned properties are obtained by selecting empirical parameter sets for LUC-INDO model. It is found that the result are in good agreement with experimental results, cohesive energy, direct and indirect band gap, valence bandwidth increase with increasing the pressure, while the conduction bandwidth decreases.

Background:
Difference in echocardiographic results between normal heart subjects and heart failure patients Heart failure is the inability of the heart to supply blood flow and therefore oxygen delivery to peripheral tissues and organs..The cytokines like IL-1 may play a significant role in the pathogenesis of several forms of myocardial dysfunction. Our aim was to investigate the correlation between Interleukins 1,6 and echocardiographic results in heart failure patients and comparison of the echocardiographic results of heart failure patients with those of normal subjects group.
The cytokine profile and Echocardiographic results in patient with heart failure (n=80) age 62.35.7 years was compared with that of age matched healthy individuals (n=20) age of 59.76.3 years.
Blood sample was taken from both control and patients groups for interleukine-1 , 6 measurement by ELISA Kit (Ray Bio).
There is significant difference in echocardiographic values between healthy subjects and heart failure patients. A negative and positive linear correlations was found between Interleukin 1, 6 and echocardiographic parameters.
In control group, the mean of interleukin-1- is (1.21.4) pg/ml and those in patients with heart failure was (6.089.32) pg/ml. There is significant increase in Interleukin-1-, 6 in patients with heart failure.

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein found in the blood, the levels of which rise in response to inflammation. its' study as a risk marker for Cardiovascular and Type -2- Diabetes Mellitus patients . This study was done in the period from 1st July 2011 to 1 st November 2012 in Al-Hussein hospital in Karballa government . The study groups were divided into four groups ,one is control ,the others were patients ( Type -2- Diabetic , Type - 2- Diabetic with Cardiovascular and Cardiovascular disease only . The results were showed, there were lowering in Fasting serum adiponectin hormone concentration for (three study groups ) Type -2- Diabetic , Type - 2- Diabetic with Cardiovascular, and Cardiovascular diseases groups with respect to than normal subjects . Significant different ( p< 0.001 ) as shown in tables 1 ,2 ,3 . When use hs-CRP measurement as a marker to limitation the kind of pathogenic case and from L.S.D statistical system were observed there were highly significant different between (DMII with CVD and CVD )groups compared to control group and medium significant different with DMII group .There weren’t significant different between (DMII with CVD and CVD) groups ,while there were significant different between DMII group and control group less than two previous groups (DMII with CVD and CVD). Therefore measurement of hs-CRP were considered as a predictor to incident by Cardiovascular diseases more than Type -2- Diabetes .
