Communication is a vital process that needs much more understanding and mutual background knowledge on the part of ESL learners in terms of grammar, meaning and context. Thus, the main aim of the current research paper is to identify and figure out the denotative and connotative meaning of barnyard verbs in English and practically analyzing these verbs to identify the dictionary meaning from connotative one. The main problem of this study is attributed to the fact that ESL learners may not be able to identify and understand the connotative meaning of barnyard verbs since these verbs are onomatopoeic (i.e,) a word that phonetically imitates, or suggests the source of sound that it describes). Consider the following example: the verb "coo" has a denotative sense in that it refers to the sound of dove or pigeon, but when children "coo", that means they speak gently which is a connotative meaning. Accordingly, the ESL learners may not know the connotative meaning of such verbs because these verbs have different associations and suggestions. The paper falls into four sections. Section one is an introduction which sheds light on the definition and meaning of barnyard verbs. Section two deals with communication. Section three discusses the notion of meaning. Section four is devoted to analyzing the denotative and connotative meaning of barnyard verbs in English. The most important conclusions that the paper has come to can be summarized as follows: firstly, denotative meaning of barnyard verbs has something to do with the use of words whose meaning suggests the onomatopoeic sense, whereas connotative meaning , has something to do with the meaning that is implied by a word a part from the thing which it describes explicitly, secondly, denotatively speaking, barnyard verbs are phonetically described, whereas connotatively speaking , they are semantically described. Consequently, it is somehow easy to figure out denotative meaning of barnyard verbs, but it is hard to identify and understand connotative meaning of these verbs due to the fact that they have different meanings with different contexts.
Background: The primary stability of the dental implant is a crucial factor determining the ability to initiate temporary implant-supported prosthesis and for subsequent successful osseointegration, especially in the maxillary non-molar sites. This study assessed the reliability of the insertion torque of dental implants by relating it to the implant stability quotient values measured by the Osstell device. Material and methods: This study included healthy, non-smoker patients with no history of diabetes or other metabolic, or debilitating diseases that may affect bone healing, having non-restorable fractured teeth and retained roots in the maxillary non-molar sites. Primary dental implant stability was evaluated using a torque ratc

A faunistic review of the genus Chaitophorus Koch, 1854, including four species in Iraq is given; the distribution data of each species and their hosts have been recorded. In this investigation the poplar leaf aphid Ch. populialbae (Boyer de Fonscolombe, 1841) is recorded here for the first time in Iraq on popular trees Populus euphratica Oliv. during the period from November 2016 to April 2017 in Baghdad province.
A brief description for apterous viviparous female of this species is given; and a key to the species of the genus Chaitophorus is constricted.

The purpose of this study was to measure serum levels of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP7), Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), Growth Hormone (GH), Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and insulin in acromegaly patients and healthy controls. The acromegaly group had 60 patients, while the population group had 30 people who had never had acromegaly before. The concentration of IGFBP7, IGF-1, GH, IL-6, and insulin were determined. The results of the present study indicate that IGFBP7 level in the acromegaly group was significantly lower (1.690.07 ng/mL vs. 2.740.12 ng/mL, respectively, p = 0.001). IGF-1, GH, IL-6, and insulin concentrations were also significantly higher in acromegaly patients. The diagnostic accuracy (2.194) was exce

This study proposes a mathematical approach and numerical experiment for a simple solution of cardiac blood flow to the heart's blood vessels. A mathematical model of human blood flow through arterial branches was studied and calculated using the Navier-Stokes partial differential equation with finite element analysis (FEA) approach. Furthermore, FEA is applied to the steady flow of two-dimensional viscous liquids through different geometries. The validity of the computational method is determined by comparing numerical experiments with the results of the analysis of different functions. Numerical analysis showed that the highest blood flow velocity of 1.22 cm/s occurred in the center of the vessel which tends to be laminar and is influe
