In this paper a comparison between Harris and FAST (Features from Accelerated Segment Test)
corner detection has been presented that is track features within a noisy images where it is a
challenging task in the field of image processing. As long as noisy image does not give the
desired results in corner detection, de-noising is required. Adaptive non-local means are applied
for salt and pepper, Gaussian and speckle noise before applying corner detection. FAST corner
detection outperformed Harris in detecting actual and exact number of corners and more robust
to noise than Harris, the obtained results shown a good satisfaction in this study especially in
the numbers of real detected corners.

The objective of current study was to detect the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori by
identifying 16SrDNA and to determine the virulence genes (ureA, cagA and vacA) in biopsy
specimens from patients suffering gastroduodenal disease using polymerase chain reaction
(PCR). Forty samples were obtained by gastroenterologists during endoscopy from gastric
antral of suspected individual attending endoscopy unit at Baqubah Teaching Hospital,
Diyala, Iraq, during the period from September 2015 to February 2016. According to the
endoscopic finding the patients were allocated into four groups of gastroduodenal diseases
and control, which include gastritis (GS), duodenal ulcer (DU), gastric ulcer (GU), gastric
cancer (GC), their rates were 30% (12), 20% (8), 17.5% (7), 7.5% (3) and 25% (10),
respectively. DNA was extracted from the biopsies and subsequently used for PCR detection
of H. pylori and the virulence genes using specific primers. The results shows that 60% of
samples were positive for H. pylori, of these positive samples, 91,66%, 66.66%, and 48.83%,
were shown to have the virulence genes, ureA, cagA, and vacA, respectively. It is important
to mention that cagA shown the highest prevalence rate in gastric cancer cases in comparison
with vacA gene. further studies are required to study the link between cagA gene and gastroduodenal diseases. In conclusion the result of present study provide important
information concerning the prevalence of virulence genes of H. pylori.

Digital watermarking is a technique that embedded watermark in a different types of digital
contents such that video, audio, and image to preservation these contents from reproduction or
unauthorized copying. There are many mechanisms that contrived to optimized the robustness
and imperceptible, newly genetic algorithm become very general in the area of artificial
intelligence because their evolution naturally and their specially importance for improvement
in several domains. This paper is proposed a trail system that embedded a unique pattern
generated from image used as a watermark and embed this pattern in the original cover image
instead of embedding the whole watermarking image inside the cover image. This pattern is
64-bit generated using genetic algorithm and selected after passing the five randomness test of
security measures. This pattern is embedding in the main diagonal of the cover image and the
result the watermarked image is imperceptible without any tamper, and the pattern that is
generated is unique and robust enough so it's generated secure communication between sender
and receiver.

The research aims to design and implement a hybrid algorithm through a combination of fractal
coding and quad tree algorithms to build revealed the identity of persons through the recognition
of the human characteristics for the destination system. The work is implemented through two
phases the first phase is detection phase (Training Phase), to discover information of skin
complexion and stored them in the database, some critical coefficient parameters are extracted
and stored in coding file like Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), offset bits, Scale bits, mean
absolute error (MAE), width and height of the cutting face these coefficient parameters are
computed based on coding fractal scheme algorithm.The second phase is the stage of
recognition of persons. It is carried out through matching extracted information in the
discrimination phase with the information stored in the database in the detection phase. At the
stage of discrimination, quad tree algorithm is used as an algorithm searching and matching at
the same time in order to accelerate the matching process in both phases as a solution to the
problem (wasted time) faced by the fractal algorithm. The work is implemented on color
images, with various directions images (forward, 10o, 15o, 20o, 25o, 30o, 35o) the database has
been trained on a standard database (MIT) as well as through the images in real time.
Experimental results proved that the speedup matching between image faces stored and their information in the database and the image faces want to distinguish them was very high (0.0
1sec), and the accuracy ranged matching between (89% -92%) .

M-type barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19) was prepared using sol-gel auto combustion method
which represents substantial magnetic materials and utilized as microwave absorbers. In
addition barium titanate powder was prepared using conventional ceramic method as
ferroelectric material. XRD tests showed that the ferrite possess hexagonal structure and barium
titanate has tetragonal structure. The constituents then mixed with different ratios and dissipated
in the epoxy-resin as the sticky and fixed medium. Microwave absorbing characteristic studied
within X-band region using VNA (Vector Network Analyzer). The complex permittivity and
permeability were calculated using Nicolson- Ross- Weir (NRW) method. Maximum reflection
loss was -36.83dB at 9.125GHz observed for the samples A1:3 (ferrite: barium titanate) the ratio
equal 1:3 due to good matching between the relative permeability and relative permittivity

Some previous studies were inducted condition of a deficiency of zinc and its relation with a
change in serum concentration of copper and iron in the thalassemic patients. The goal of our
study was to evaluated zinc, copper, and iron serum level in children whom have beta
thalassemia major. In this study, we took 52 cases all of them were children between one year
to15 years. Where 41 cases have beta thalassemia major and 11 cases are control group. The
patients were covered by Al-Batol hospital and they have been evaluated for zinc, copper, and
iron serum levels. The determination of serum for zinc and copper were achieved by atomic
absorption spectrophotometer. Where serum iron was measured by cobas integra 400 plus.
The study was done from August 2015, to June 2016. Serum zinc level was lower in
thalassemia patients (49.90 ± 38.13μg/d) than control group (65.00 ± 12.03μg/dl). Comparing
the level of copper in patients (101.57 ± 37.03μg/dl) and controls (150.77± 37.03μg/dl), we
found the copper levels in patients was lower. The level of serum iron (32.81 ± 9.24 umole/L)
on beta thalassemia major, which was statistically higher in comparing to the controls cases
(9.33±3.38 umole/L). Serum glucose level was higher in thalassemic patients 5.10 ± 0.08
mmole/L than control group 4.95 ±0.85. Thalassemic patients who had less than70 μg/dl of
zinc concentration (hypozincemia) were (82.9%). Thalassemic patients, who had less than 70
μg/dl copper concentration, were (17.07%). The correlation was not significant between zinc
and copper of serum concentration and serum level of iron There was no significant relation
between serum zinc level of thalassemic patients with weight, glucose and number of blood transfusions (P=0.1). However, there was a significant relation between serum zinc level of
thalassemic patients with age and duration time of blood transfusion (P=0.04).This study
showed that thalassemic patients commonly have zinc deficiency. While, copper deficiency is
found in seven cases. Additional valuation is recommended in this aspect.

Most of the existing fingerprint extraction systems are based on the global features and detailed
characteristics of fingerprints, which have a weak performance in cases of poor quality
fingerprint images, such as the fingerprint image is incomplete. In order to improve recognition
accuracy, reliability and quickness to identify the fingerprints a new trend has been opened by
using swarm intelligence techniques in biometric field. Therefore, particle swarm optimization
techniques (PSO) are used in this paper to build fingerprints authentication system. A fast
fingerprint identification method based on the convolution transformation and Particle Swarm
Optimization algorithms proposed. The convolution algorithm was used to extract the
convolved feature and then found the optimal solution from this feature by using Particle Swarm
Optimization algorithm. Experimental results show that, the proposed method has a high
efficiency in extracting features from fingerprints, strong strength, and good accuracy for
recognition.

The nuclear structure of the isotopes Yb ( A = 174, 176 , 178 )are studied using the model
IBM -1. The energy levels, the ratio of energy and the energy groups are calculated using the
program IBS1.FOR.We determine the behavior of these isotopes depends on the calculate of
the ratio of experimental and theory energy for(????(81+) /????(21+),????(61+) /????(21+),????(41+)/
????(21+)) the low energy levels of positive parity shows that the isotopes belong to the
rotational dynamical symmetry SU(3) .The number of neutrons for the isotope174Yb is in mid
shell between two magic numbers (82,126) then, that’s led to appear the energy
groups(????1,????1,????2,????1,????2)and the energy levels are arrived approximately of 3.5 Mev . The
present results give a good agreement with the experimental values.

Semiparametric methods combined parametric methods and nonparametric methods ,it is
important in most of studies which take in it's nature more progress in the procedure of
accurate statistical analysis which aim getting estimators efficient, the partial linear regression
model is considered the most popular type of semiparametric models, which consisted of
parametric component and nonparametric component in order to estimate the parametric
component that have certain properties depend on the assumptions concerning the parametric
component, where the absence of assumptions, parametric component will have several
problems for example multicollinearity means (explanatory variables are interrelated to each
other) , To treat this problem we use a difference based through the use of biased estimators,
in order to get less biased and variance estimators therefor we used difference based estimator
liu and difference based almost unbiased liu estiomator. throughout studying simulation based
upon mean square error, we concluded that difference based almost unbiased liu estiomator is
better than difference based estimator liu since it has the smallest mean square error after
that we estimate nonparametric component so removing parametric component and estimated
Nonparametric using k-nearest neighbor smoother.

In this paper the Rayleigh scattering cross section σR in aluminum has been calculated,
through atomic scattering factor calculation, using Wave function involves The independent
of the particles approximation for the values 0 < (????????????θ)/λ ≤ 1A0−1, And for the incident
Photon energy range from 620 eV (λ = 20A0) to 12.4 KeV (λ = 1A0), The Rayleigh
scattering cross section was found to be dominate at low energy, where the scattering cross
section starting from very small energy and less than 1KeV, Also the increasing of angular
distribution for Rayleigh scattering cross section is principle dependent on the value of atomic
scattering factor ????(????, ????), and observed Rayleigh scattering decreasing at high energies, while
it is more distinct at low energies, for this reason the Rayleigh scattering is very important at
low energies, because the scattering angle is large.

Forty isolates were obtained of Acinetobacter baumannii from (200) isolate, the isolates were
collected from different cases including :- wounds, burns, Stool , Urinary tract infection urine,
Respiratory tract infection and blood sample. The result revealed that the kps gene was
present in (6) isolates (15%) of Acinetobacter baumannii. The result Showed (4) isolate
(10%) of Stool has kps gene and (1) isolate (2.5%) of respiratory tract infection f has kps gene
and finally only (1) isolate (2.5%) of Wound infection. While all isolated for each of the
urinary tract infections, blood and Burns doesn't the kps gene. The gel electrophoresis showed
that the molecular weight of kps gene was 272 bp

The Iraqi governorates suffer from the problem of environmental pollution and the lapse of
air quality because of spreading the resources of fuel burns and air Pollutants, which has been
beginning since 1991 after Gulf war as a result of refineries and oil warehouses and
chemistry materials stores scorch and fir explosives …etc. So the research aim is to determine
and analyze air pollutants in a number of Iraqi oil refiners , the researcher depends on data of
the used quantity of fuel in boilers and bakes in the oil refineries and analyze it by factor
analysis method . The results explained the existence of six factors represented 90% from
total variances of the used variables in the research.

Simple, sensitive and rapid two methods for determination of Atorvastatin Calcium (Atv) in
both pure form and pharmaceutical formulations. The first method was based on the oxidation
of the studied drug in presence of acidic medium by a known excess of (Potassium bromide:
Potassium bromate) (KBr:KBrO3) as an oxidizing agent and subsequent determination of
unreacted oxidant by reacting it with Crystal Violet (CV) dye [4 [bis [4 (dimethylamino)
phenyl] methylidene] cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene]-dimethylazanium;chloride to produce
blue at λmax. 594 nm. The second method involved determination of (Atv) using Chromogenic
reagent Sodium 1,2-naphthoquine- 4-sulfonate (NQS) as reagent in an alkaline medium (pH
11.5) to form an orange product at λmax. 456nm, and the linearity range was found to be (10
100)µg/mL and (20-80)µg/mL respectively. With molar absorptivity 70.708×104 L/mol.cm
and 20.565×103 L/mol.cm, correlation coefficient 0.9992 and 0.9977 and the limit of detection
and limit of quantification (0.0178 µg/mL, 0.054 µg/mL) and (0.059 µg/mL, 0.179 µg/mL)
respectively. The two methods were successfully applied for the determination of (Atv) in
tablet formulation.

the total falling rain was (97.54) mm, and the average temperature (25.75 C°), relative
humidity (41.52%), wind speed (1.67 m / s), sunshine (8.6 hours / day) and the total
evaporation from free surfaces was (3473.46 mm). The prevailing climate in the region is dry
to semi-dry. was calculated corrected potential evapotranspiration theoretically apply
Thornthwaite method where she was value 1024.97 mm, was also calculate the water surplus ,
which accounted for 22.1% divided into surface runoff and and Groundwater Recharge while
the water deficit represents 77.9% of the annual rainfall.

In this paper vanadium pentoxide thin films (V2O5) were prepared by the chemical spray
pyrolysis technique on a glass substrate at temperature (350 0C) and by thickness
(1000,830,660,360) nm. XRD investigations showed that all the films are polycrystalline in
nature with an orthorhombic structure with preferred orientation along ( 001) plane . Some
properties studied by X-ray diffraction such as average grain size where the results were (27

This study is concerned on prepare polymer composite from unsaturated polyester resin
(UPE) reinforced with )10%) weight fraction of broomcorn natural fibers (long and short) by
using hand lay-up technique. The natural fibers treated with 0.5normality of NaOH solution .
Some mechanical properties such as (Impact strength, flexural strength and shore D hardness) have been studied. It was found that the impact strength increased when unsaturated polyester
reinforced by treated long broomcorn fibers compared with short fiber and pure unsaturated
polyester while, flexural strength and hardness values decreased of treated composite
compared with pure unsaturated polyester.
