The Early-Middle Miocene succession in Iraq is represented by the Serikagni, Euphrates and Dhiban formations, which deposited during the Early Miocene. The Jeribe and Fatha successions were deposited during Middle Miocene age. This study includes microfacies analysis, depositional environments, sequence stratigraphy and basin development of Early – middle Miocene in Hamrin and Ajeel oil fields and Mansuriyha Gas Field. The study area includes four boreholes in three oil fields located in central Iraq: Hamrin (Hr-2) and Ajeel (Aj-13, and 19) oil feilds, and Mansuriyha (Ms-2) Gas Field. Five facies associations were distinguished within the studied fields: deep marine, slop, platform-margin, open marine, restricted interior platform, and evaporitic interior platform. The facies associations interpreted were based on texture and fauna. Deep marine facies association consists of planktonic foraminifera wackestone, it was observed in well Ms–2. Slope environment association is observed in Euphrates Formation in Hamreen-10, and it represented by bioclastic – planktonic mudstone – wackestone. The open marine association is observed in all studied wells in particular in Jeribe and Euphrates formations, and it includes bioclastic mudstone-wackestone, bioclastic peloidal wackestone-packestone and bioclastic foraminiferal wackestone- packestone. While the restricted interior platform association is dominated in all studied wells, it consists of ooidal packstone, foraminiferal peloidal packstone, dolomitic lime mudstone, dolomititic and evaporitic peloidal wackestone-packstone. In Ajil Oil Field the studied succession is consisting of two sequences (C1 and C2). The fist sequence (C1) was started with transgressive system tract (TST) reflected by open marine occupies the lower part of Euphrates Formation, the TST bounded below by SB and above by MFS. The second sequence (C2) was started with TST which is observed in the lower part of Jeribe Formation, represented by evaporitic and restricted interior platform. In Hamrin Oil Field, this succession is started with thin transgressive system tract (TST) as C1 reflected by toe of slope and it occupied a bit of lower part of Euphrates Formation. The highstand system tract (HST) is divided to five cycles (CE1, CE2, CE3, CE/Dh and CDh). Sequence C2 was started with relatively thin transgressive system tract (TST) occupies the lower part of Jeribe Formation represented by open marine environment. Two sequences are observed in Mansuriya Gas Field (C1 and C2). Sequence C1 started with thin transgressive system tract (TST) bounded below by SB1 and above by MFS which is corresponding with conformable boundary that separated between Serikagni Formation and Dhiban. Contrary, the second sequence (C2) was started with relatively thin transgressive system tract (TST) occupies the lower and middle parts of Jeribe Formation represented by restricted interior platform environment.
Intestinal parasites present in freshwater from the Al- Fallujah, Al- Habbaniyah and Al-Alwarar, of the Euphrates river in Iraq are Cryptosporidium spp (25.3%), Giardia sp (3.3%), Eimeria sp (3.3%), Pinworm eggs (3.3%), Naegleria sp (15.3%), Lecane niwati (1.3%), Trichomonas hominis (19.3%), Acanthamoeba spp (24.6%), Entamoeba coli (20.6%), Balantidium coli (12%), Ascaris sp (3.3%), Volvox sp (26%), Chilomastix mesnili (4%), Pelomyxa palustris (2.6%), Trinema enchelys (2.6%), Actinophrys Sol (7.3%), Amobea Vespertilio (9.3%), Rhabditea (5.3%), paramecium bursaria (9.3%), cyst of cestode (6%), Oocyst protozoa (16%), Euglena gracilis (10.6%).were isolated. The study's goal was to isolate some of the parasites that pollute the Euphrat

For prepared faujasite type NaY zeolite X-ray, FT-IR, BET pore volume and surface area, and silica/ alumina were determined. The Xray and FT-IR show the compatibility of prepared catalyst with the general structure of standard zeolite Y. BET test shows that the surface area and pore volume of prepared catalyst were 360 m2 /g and 0.39 cm3 /g respectively.
The prepared faujasite type NaY zeolite modified by exchanging sodium ion with ammonium ion using ammonium nitrate and then ammonium ion converted to hydrogen ion. The maximum sodium ion exchange with ammonium ion was 53.6%. The catalytic activity of prepared faujasite type NaY, NaNH4Y and NaHY zeolites
This study appears GIS techniqueand remote sensing data are matching with the field observation to identify the structural features such as fault segments in the urban area such as the Merawa and Shaqlawa Cities. The use of different types of data such as fault systems, drainage patterns (previously mapped), lineament, and lithological contacts with spatial resolution of 30m was combined through a process of integration and index overlay modeling technique for producing the susceptibility map of fault segments in the study area. GIS spatial overlay technique was used to determine the spatial relationships of all the criteria (factors) and subcriteria (classes) within layers (maps) to classify and map the potential ar

It is essential to achieve high COVID-19 vaccination acceptance rates among medical students and health care workers to provide recommendations and counseling vaccine hesitant population. AIM: This study aims to identify level of COVID-19 hesitancy, attitude, knowledge, and factors that affect vaccination decision. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was done among medical students in Al-Kindy College of Medicine, University of Baghdad, Baghdad, Iraq. Data collection was done through an online Google Forms questionnaire during 2021 from 810 medical students.

This study aimed to investigate the hematological parameters of infected patients using a complete blood count (CBC) in the endemic area of Diyala Governorate, northeast of Baghdad. This has been studied in newly diagnosed, untreated individuals and patients receiving sodium antimony gluconate. Methodology: Hematological screening was performed on blood samples from 161 patients with microscopically diagnosed cutaneous leishmaniasis before and after treatment. Anti-Leishmania IgG was also assessed by ELISA in seropositive and seronegative subjects. Results: The newly diagnosed, untreated pati
