This research aims to study the effect of the amount of clouds on the number of actual
hours of Sunshine in selected stations in Iraq, namely (Mosul Station, Baghdad Station, Basra
Station), using data (the amount of clouds and the number of actual hours of Sunshine) for a
period of (31 years) for the period extending from (1980 - 2010), which were obtained by data
available in the Iraqi Meteorological organization and Seismology. In this research, the effect
of the amount of clouds on the number of actual hours of Sunshine was clarified by studying
the monthly and seasonal change of the two variables, in addition to clarifying the nature of the
relationship between them by calculating the correlation coefficient using Microsoft Excel
(2010). The results indicated that there is a strong inverse correlation between both variables in
The three study stations, where the values of correlation coefficients ranged between (-0.92) –
(-0.87) in the study sites, and this indicates that with the increase in the amount of clouds the
number of hours of actual hours of Sunshine decreases, and vice versa.

The present work include preparation of some transition metal complexes Cu(II) with
Schiff base ligands L1 (benzylideneamino)pyrimidin-2(1H)-one) L, L2(Z)-4-((2-
hydroxybenzylidene)amino)pyrimidin-2(1H)-one) L2 and L3 4,4'-((1E,1'E)-pentane-2,4-
diylidenebis(azanylylidene))bis(pyrimidin-2(1H)-one) (pdp). The ligands were prepared from
condensation reaction of the benzaldehyde, Salicyaldehyde and Acetylacetone with cytosine
respectively. These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity;
magnetic susceptibility measurements, NMR spectroscopy for ligand, electronic and infrared
spectroscopy.
These complexes were classified into two classes:
1-[CuL1Cl2] , [CuL2Cl2] , [CuL3Cl2]
2-[Cu(L2)2Cl2] , [Cu(L2)2Cl2] , [Cu(L3)2Cl2]
Low conductance value showed that all the prepared complexes are non – electrolyte and
the magnetic susceptibility measurements, electronic spectroscopy showed that all the prepared
complexes of Type (1) have a square planar geometry for copper complexes, the complexes of
Type (2) have an octahedral geometry

The positive ground-state band (GSB) of
Hf W Os Pt 180 182 184 186
, , ,
isotones for N = 108 has
been calculated using the Interacting Bosons Model (IBM-1), and Interacting Vector Boson
Model (IVBM), while the negative-parity band (NPB) of
Hf W Pt 180 182 186
, ,
, has been
calculated using the (IVBM). since (IBM-1) have different calculation according to the
characteristics of each nucleus, these characteristics were identified using different method,
Plotting the relation of the moment of inertia (
2 
) against the rotational frequency of the
emitted photons (

) during nuclear transition between different energy states were
determined, The calculation shows that
Hf W Os 180 182 184
, ,
nucleus do not have any backbending effect which indicates that its characteristics have not changed, While
Pt 186
have a
back-bending which indicate that a change in their characteristics. Also using the relation
between different excited states energies to their preceding values, one can determine the
characteristic of each nucleus which shows a rotational characteristics for
Hf W Os 180 182 184
, ,
nucleus, while
Pt 186
have transitional characteristics between the two vibrational and rotational challenges, To get to know the characteristics of the nucleus more accurately the
relation of the gamma energy over spin (
E I

) as a function of the spin (I) E-GOS was
drown, the calculation showed pure rotational characteristic for
Hf W Os 180 182 184
, ,
nucleus,
While the
Pt 186
nuclei have gamma soft O(6) characteristic, When staggering phenomena
between (NPB) and (GSB) has been studied, The contour plot show that
Hf W Pt 180 182 186
, ,
nucleus did not reach zero value which refer to the constancy of their characteristics.

In the current study, a number of wild animals were collected, examined, and dissected,
and the following types of parasites were found:
The parasitic protozoan: the genus Haemoproteus, and this is the first record of this
genus in the lizard Uromastyx loricata. The genus Eimeria was found in the rabbit Lepus
capensis and the turtle Mauremys caspica, while Entamoeba was found in the pig Sus sucrofa.
The tapeworm’s genus Anoplocephala in hedgehog Hemiechinus auritus, which is a "new"
host for this worm, while three genera were isolated for the first time from the fox, Vulpes
vuIpes which are Fossor angertrudae, Pericapsifer pagenstecheri, and Cycloskrjabinia
taborensis. The nematode genera Rhaphidascaris acus and Cosmocerca trispinosa were found
in the turtle Mauremys caspica. The Acanthocephalas theGenus AcanthocephaIa was isolated
from the hedgehog Hemiechinus auritus for the first time.

In the present study number (187) birds were collected, examined and dissected and the
results revealed the presence of the following parasites:
Parasitic protozoa: The Pterocles olchata and Columba Livia were found infected with
Haemoproteus and this protozoa was recorded for the first time in Ptercle
olchata.Plasmodium was found in blood of Cotunix coturnix and the Eimeria was found in
Cotunix coturnix and pterocles olchata whereas Cryptosporidium and Giardia were found in
Ptercles olchata and Mergus serrator. Cestoda: The genus Metadilepis and genus Cotugina
were found in Columba livia and Mergus serrator, respectively. Nematode: The genus
Ascarida hermaphrodite was found in Columba livia and Mergus serrator whereas genus
Acuaria laticepiا was found in Sturnus vulgaris. Lice: Columbicola columbae and
Companulotez compare were found in Columba livia whereas (Laemobothrion maximum,
Craspedorrhynchus platystomus and Degeeriella leucopleura were found in Aquila
chrysaetos. These louse species were new recods in lraq.
