Local scour is the erosion of natural bed material around bridge piers by the vortexes action of flowing water. It can result in structural collapse, loss of life and property. Local scour is live-bed if the flow upstream bridge is transporting bed material, otherwise it is clear water. In this paper, the local scour around the piers of al-Hindiya second bridge during the year 2013 was studied. From field surveys at the bridge site it was observed that the cross section area of river upstream bridge is concentrated to the left side as a result of the presence of middle bar. Also there is a scour hole with depth about 4 m around the 4th pier from left bank of the river, while no scour effect was found at the other piers. The field scour depth was compared with depth calculated from the seven empirical equations using bridge geometry, bed materials properties and hydraulic characteristics of the stream flow at approach channel. Laursenꞌs equation was used to find critical velocity of bed materials which showed that there was clear water scour around bridge piers and the scour formula by Sheppard & Melville 2006 had a good agreement with measured scour depth, while other equations were underestimation. Depending on Sheppard and Melville equation a new empirical formula was proposed for al-Hindiya second bridge to predicate the scour depth around the pier corresponding to the hydraulic conditions similar as the study region.

The study was conducted to investigate the etiology of the bacterium Esherishia coli by culturing, antimicrobial susceptibility test and diagnosing the bacteria that exist in synovial secretion in an infected broiler arthritis. A total of 35 ankle joint discharge were collected from broiler 18-22 days ages suffering from arthritis isolated from broiler chicken at Kerbala governorate, Iraq, through period of four months beginning from December 2014 till the end March 2015, in an attempt to detect the bacterium Esherishia coli. The results showed that out of thirty-five ankle joint samples, there were fourteen bacterium isolates as Esherishia coli. In conclusion, the incidence of some arthritis in broiler chicken contain Esherishia coli that may play important risk in arthritis, Simultaneously, as in the case of the use of antibiotics, Ciprofloxacin has been considered as an effective treatment for Esherishia coli in vitro susceptibility, but no resistant 100% for Amoxcycyline against all Esherishia coli isolates.

The strength of image encryption systems are depending on confusion (change the pixel position ) and diffusion(change the pixel value) and most of researchers separate these operations and perform these in cascading form with different algorithms, so there are some drawbacks in this cryptosystem and may be cryptanalyzed soon. In this paper proposed image encryption system based on chaotic map due to special properties of chaotic theory, such as pseudo-randomness, no periodicity and sensitivity to initial conditions. The two operations confusion-diffusion are processed in same loop based on two dimension chaotic standard map with different secret keys. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme has high security and computationally secure , it withstands different types of attacks such as statistical attack, differential attack and brute force attack and the processing time of encryption is high (0.29 second) which is suitable for mobile communication and real time applications

Scientists and engineers are constantly trying to improve the performance of asphalt concrete pavements by the modification of the asphalt binder. Polymer-modified asphalt mixtures have been used for many years to reduce the amount and severity of distress and extend the service life of hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavements. The polymers have acceptable effects on asphalt mixes in low and high temperature due to increasing the resistance to fatigue cracking, rutting (permanent deformation) and thermal cracking. The major objective of this research is to evaluate the effect of polymer on the properties of the Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). One asphalt cement grade (40-50) from Al-Daurah refinery, one type of locally available polymer styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) with three various particle sizes. Three sizes are obtained from sieving analysis at sieves (No16 (1mm), No9 (2mm) and No5 (4mm)) have been used with three percentages for each size. These percentages are (1, 2.5 and 4) % for SBS by weight of asphalt cement. Each size of polymer is blended with asphalt cement by wet process of blending times 60 minutes for a suitable range of temperatures at (180ºC). The experimental works showed that all polymer-modified mixtures have (stability, indirect tensile strength and rutting resistance) higher than control asphalt mixtures, in about (50-107) %, (11-32) % and (33-47) %), respectively, dependent on different particle sizes of polymer and polymer concentration under predicted suitable blending time. It can be concluded that the small particle sizes of styrene butadiene styrene (SBS No16) give better properties of pavement. Therefore, the addition of (2.5% SBS No16) to asphalt mixtures showed better improvement on the performance properties of pavement modified with polymer, in which the referred percentage represents the optimum percent of concentration for blending polymer

Arsenic is one of the toxic heavy metal when presented in a high level over it allowable limit. To detoxify this heavy metal a chelators were used as in a chelation therapy. This work studies the complexation of some chelators (EDTA, penicillamine, genistein and qurecetin) with As III ion. A spectrophotometric techniques were applied in water and water-ethanol mixture as a solvent, at four different temperature. A shift in it max and decrease in absorbance indicating the complex formation. The stoichiometry of these complexes were determined by a method of the continuous variation (Job's) method, it was found that As-EDTA were (2:1), As-gensitein and As-quercetin (1:1), and As-penicillamine (1:2). These chelator's have a high tendency to complex with As III ion which were reflected by its high values of their equilibrium constants. Thermodynamic parameters indicate a spontaneous interaction (negative free energy change Go), and the enthalpy changr for As-gensitein complex were positive and the other three complexes have negative Ho which depends on type of the interaction and the structures of the complexes. The kinetic calculations shows a second order interaction.

Background: So far there is much debate as to the next move to be done when nonpalpable testes (NPT) are encountered. Some advocate imaging methods as ultrasonography (US), CT, or MRI. However, none of these has demonstrated to be 100% dependable in predicting the presence or absence of a testis. On the other hand, laparoscopy can be diagnostic and therapeutic as well. Methods: 28 patients with 39 NPT were enrolled. A preoperative US and MRI were performed for all patients followed by laparoscopic exploration. Results: Of the 39 NPT, 23 (59%) were intra-abdominal. Seventeen (44%) of these were viable intra-abdominal and underwent orchidopexy, 6 (15%) were atretic and eventually excised, while 8 (20.5%) were absent or vanishing. In contrast, 8 (20.5%) testes were found to be inguinal, three (7.7%) of them were viable, and 5 (12.8%) were atrophic, and ultimately excised. US localized 17 (43.6%) of these nonpalpable testes, while laparoscopy localized 31 (79.5%) testes, with a P-value of <0.01. In comparison to laparoscopy, MRI localized only 21(53.8%) of these testes with a P-value of < 0.05. Overall, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of US and MRI were (54.8%, 12.5%, and 46.1%), and (67.7%, 50%, and 64.1%) respectively. Seven viable intra-abdominal testes (18%) were fixed with one-stage orchidopexy, and 10 (25.6%) testes were fixed with two-stage orchidopexy. Three viable inguinal testes (7.7%) underwent inguinal orchidopexy. Totally 11 (28.2%) testes were excised (6 intra-abdominal and 5 inguinal), while eight testes (20.5%) were vanishing. Additionally 4 hernias (10.3%) were simultaneously repaired inguinally. Conclusion: Neither US nor MRI correctly localize a true NPT. In contrast, laparoscopy is safe, precise, and aids in subsequent surgical planning.

There are many causes that lead the generator to Loss of Excitation (LOE) such as, a short circuit in the field winding, unexpectedly open field breaker or a failure in the excitation system. LOE protection schemes are widely used to detect these faults quickly, but they remain insensitive to the external faults and for other disturbances in the power system. Power System Stabilizer (PSS) is used to measure and damp the power oscillations, which occur by cause of external faults, through the set point of the voltage regulator.
In this paper, the Multi-Band and Generic Power System Stabilizers (MB-PSS and GPSS) are been reviewed and examined in case of the generator momentarily loss its excitation, the power system must remain stable via the proposed stabilizer. The case study is based on radial power system are including: a main power station is connected with a substation across the transmission lines and a step-up transformer. The salient-pole synchronous generator is rotated by the Hydraulic Turbine and Governor (HTG) which have auto control when disturbance occurs in the power system. The performance of the power system is demonstrated by using the simulation.

This work aim to get information about the binding of cephalexin(antibiotics) with albumin, and the influence of the solvent polarity and ionic strength on it by using UV-visb spectrophotometric measurements in phosphate buffer solution pH (7.4), and at three different temperatures, (290, 300, 310)K .The UV absorption shows a change and a shift in the absorbency and a shift in albumin and cephalexin peaks, the two changes are indicative of complex formation. The stoichiometry of the interaction were calculated by the method of continuous variations which was1:1at pH 7.4.The equilibrium constant was calculated at three different temperature (290,300,310)K and the thermodynamic parameter such as ∆G, ∆H and ∆S also calculated. The kinetic studies for this interaction follows first order equation with a rat constant value of 13.8×10-4 min-1

In order to further clarify the molecular basis for the mechanism of action of the antitumor Pt(II) complexes, this work represent a study of the interaction of Pt(II) complex with calf thymus DNA and Human Serum Albumin (HAS) using UV-spectroscopy in vitro, this technique was used in order to gain quantitative information regarding the relative binding affinity of the platinum compounds for calf thymus DNA versus HAS.
Spectra of solution of Pt(II) complex (0.07 mM ) at pH7 was recorded at regular intervals in the absence and presence of calf thymus DNA (0.05mM) and HAS (0.16µM). The present study reveals that the UV spectrum of Cis-dicloro(tetracycline) platinum(II) complex [(Tet.)Pt Cl2] at pH7 pale yellow solution shows a maximum absorbance at 272nm and a shoulder peak at 364nm after 0.25h and 1 hr . These peaks are rapidly diminished with time due to rapid hydrolysis of the nephthacene rings to give a precipitate and loss of the pale yellow color of the solution after 24hrs. In contrast, the absorbance of platinum complex in the presence of calf thymus DNA and HAS is significantly altered compared to the control experiment. The shift in the maximum absorbance to 291nm and 290 (for complex with DNA and HAS respectively) from 272nm implies that the tetracycline ligand is in a different environment, consistent with formation of platinum – DNA and platinum-HAS complex. No precipitation occurred in solution, of platinum complex in the presence of calf thymus DNA and HSA at pH7 over 24h

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in which many cells and cellular elements play a role. In susceptible individuals, this inflammation causes recurrent episodes of coughing (particularly at night or early in the morning), wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness.
In secondary care populations up to 50% of patients with asthma have been reported to have clinically significant depressive symptoms and over a third of asthmatic outpatients have been found to have a major depressive episode.
There is some evidence that omega-3 fatty acids are related to mental health, including that they may be useful as an add-on for the treatment of depression associated with bipolar disorder. However, significant benefits due to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) supplementation were only seen when treating depressive symptoms and not manic symptoms suggesting a link between omega-3 and depressive mood.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of omega 3 on the management of moderate persistent asthmatic patient who are poorly responded on a combination of inhaled corticosteroids and long acting ß 2 agonists.
Forty five asthmatic patients were included in the study, 21 male and 24 female, who were uncontrolled adequately with inhaled combination of corticosteroids and long acting ß2 agonists. The effect of omega 3 was investigated after 1,2,3 and 4 weeks on symptom frequency, night symptoms and quality of life.
The result of the study evoked a positive effect on all studied parameters that might be agree with old studies and denied with others.
The study concluded that omega 3 might be play an important role in the management of clinical symptoms and quality of life of asthmatic patients.
