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.
Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of post-abortion family planning counseling program on nurses and midwives' practices and to predict the variables which may effect on their practices Methodology: A quasi experimental study was conducted from 23th April 2017 to 14th March 2018 in three governorates in Middle Euphrates of Iraq: (Holy Karbala, Al - Najef Al Ashraf and Babylon) on nurses and midwives who work at maternity hospitals. Systematic random sampling was used to select 122 nurses and midwives, (60) of them for study group and (62) for control group. A checklist is an instrument that evaluate the practices which included 50 items. Validity of content was determined through reviewing it by (16) experts and reliability of to

In addition, the production and marketing of Iraqi oil continued since 1934 and until the present time. Over the past eight decades, the range of economic benefit of the financial Iraq’s oil resources varied according to the applicable forms of investments in the oil sector in Iraq.

Different deep-learning methods are used for automatic diagnosis, yet they have some limitations. Deep Learning is one of the modern methods that were used to detect and classify a medical image because of the ability of deep Learning to extract the features of images automatically. However, there are still limitations to using deep learning to accurately classify medical images because extracting the fine edges of medical images is sometimes considered difficult, and some distortion in the images. Therefore, this research aims to develop A Computer-Aided Brain Diagnosis (CABD) system that can tell if a brain scan exhibits indications of

Drag has long been identified as the main reason for the loss of energy in fluid transmission like pipelines and other similar transportation channels. The main contributor to this drag is the viscosity as well as friction against the pipe walls, which will results in more pumping power consumption.
The aim in this study was first to understand the role of additives in the viscosity reduction and secondly to evaluate the drag reduction efficiency when blending with different solvents.

The study aimed to enumerate the species that has been preserved in several botanical herbariums: National Herbarium of Iraq- Ministry of Agriculture (BAG), University of Baghdad Herbarium (BUH), Iraq Natural History Research Center& Museum- University of Baghdad Herbarium (BUNH), College of Agricultural Engineering- University of Baghdad Herbarium (BUG), College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences- Duhok Province University Herbarium (DPUH) and College of Science - Salahddin University Herbarium (SUH). This family has not yet been registered in the Flora of Iraq. After examining more than 1000 herbarium specimens, the study found 139 species belonging to 33 genera h

Therefore, peaceful coexistence among the components of Iraqi society remains fragile and vulnerable to collapse and threat at any moment. This society, which is already in need of social relations, needs more than ever to coexist and consolidate it. Through the exercise of democracy in Iraq in a manner that guarantees rights and duties for all, to restore mutual trust between the components of this community in a way that feels they are citizens of the state.
