Identifying of the research The introduction and importance of the research practicing the sport training leads to functional changes in the organs of the body as whole and as a result of practicing the training for along time and regular and rationed method, there occurred functional adaptabilities in various organs of the body in general and especially in heart organ, but these functional adaptabilities occurred either as peripheral or central changes and the central adaptabilities are known that occurred inside the heart vascular system which are as a result of practicing the regular and rationed sport training for long periods which are a collection of factors and psychological changes which effect on the heart muscle ability to obtain blood and pumping it to provide the blood with (oxygen and energy) for the operating muscles and amongst these factors the heart pulse rate the number of the beat also. Upon this concentrated and via the researcher scientific attempt to explore modern training units alternatives via using the falling (deep) jump in light with the kinetic performance paths of its basic skills and using them in means of developing the collection of contributing muscles towards developing the operating muscles in skillful performance and the second importance this study participating in it , is to draw the coaches attention for updated training units on which the training programs depended to develop its physical features of badminton as alternative for other classical training units, in this it is considered constructive study of the coaches work and their training programs and from it could access sound planning state to promote the physical and skillful aspects of the young players and to develop the game and expand its popularity in our beloved Iraq. The objectives: 1-Setting the falling(deep) training units. 2-Identifying the effect of falling(deep) jump training units to improve the explosive and that characterized by speed forces for badminton players Identifying the effect of falling(deep) jump training units on some of functional variables. The research hypotheses: 1-There are differences of statistical significance among the pre and post-tests results for the control and experimental groups the explosive and characterized by speed forces for the badminton players in favor of post-tests. 2-There are differences of statistical significance among the pre and post-tests resulted from some of functional changes of badminton players in favor of post-tests.
Most of the recent works related to the construction industry in Iraq are focused on investigating the validity of local raw materials as alternatives to the imported materials necessary for some practical applications, especially in thermal and sound insulation. This investigation includes the use of limestone dust as partial substitution of cement in combination with foam agent and silica fume to produce sustainable Lightweight Foam Concrete (LWFC). This study consists of two stages. In the first stage, trial mixes were performed to find the optimum dosage of foam agent. Limestone dust was used as a partial replacement for cement. Chemical analysis and fineness showed great similarity with cement. Many concrete mixes were prepared

In this paper, a shallow foundation (strip footing), 1 m in width is assumed to be constructed on fully saturated and partially saturated Iraqi soils, and analyzed by finite element method. A procedure is proposed to define the H – modulus function from the soil water characteristic curve which is measured by the filter paper method. Fitting methods are applied through the program (SoilVision). Then, the soil water characteristic curve is converted to relation correlating the void ratio and matric suction. The slope of the latter relation can be used to define the H – modulus function. The finite element programs SIGMA/W and SEEP/W are then used in the analysis. Eight nodded isoparametric quadrilateral elements are used for modeling

The world is confronted with the twin crisis of fossil fuel depletion and environmental degradation caused by fossil fuel usage. Biodiesel produced from renewable feedstocks such as Jatropha seed oil or animal fats by transesterification offers a solution. Although biodiesel has been produced from various vegetable oils such as Jatropha seed oil, the reaction kinetics studies are very few in literature, hence the need for this study. Jatropha curcas seed oil was extracted and analyzed to determine its free fatty acid and fatty acid composition. The oil was transesterified with methanol at a molar ratio of methanol to oil 8:1, using 1% sodium hydroxide catalyst, at different temperature
