The research abstract included introduction and the importance of the research, also included display of the problem represented by weakness for the players when performing some of the basic skills in badminton and the shuttle not reaching to the back corners of the court which gives the player the opportunity to win through applying the pressure on the opponent and make him away from the control center(T) which definitely required level of a collection muscular strength contributed in performance perhaps this related to a number of reasons related with weakness in physical changes especially explosive and characterized by speed forces for the badminton players and be acquainted with them and knowing the extent of their effect in performance, based on this the researcher resorted to study the effect of the training units of falling(deep) jump to develop the explosive and characterized by speed forces for the badminton players. The research problem is exclusive by lack of the coaches attention in perfect way to develop the explosive and that characterized by speed forces on which the basic skills of badminton and the reason of the improvement occurred for the experimental community comes as a result of using the independent variable for training units of the falling(deep) jump which effected actively on the players' performance. The researcher has used the experimental method and the research sample was chosen from the young players certified by the Iraqi badminton central union of age groups(14-16) years old affiliated to Al-Athori club amounted (6) players. Physical Education Original Research Paper The research objectives: Setting training units of falling(deep) jump. 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 changes. 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.

In this paper, a miniaturized 2 × 2 electro-optic plasmonic Mach– Zehnder switch (MZS) based on metal–polymer–silicon hybrid waveguide is presented. Adiabatic tapers are designed to couple the light between the plasmonic phase shifter, implemented in each of the MZS arms, and the 3-dB input/output directional couplers. For 6 µm-long hybrid plasmonic waveguide supported by JRD1 polymer (r33= 390 pm/V), a π-phase shift voltage of 2 V is obtained. The switch is designed for 1550 nm operation wavelength using COMSOL software and characterizes by 2.3 dB insertion loss, 9.9 fJ/bit power consumption, and 640 GHz operation bandwidth

Numerical investigation has been carried out on heat transfer and friction factor characteristics of copper-water nanofluid flow in a constant heat-fluxed tube with the existence of new configuration of vortex generator using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. Two types of swirl flow generator: Classical twisted tape (CTT) and Parabolic-cut twisted tape (PCT) with a different twist ratio (= 2.93, 3.91 and 4.89) and different cut depth (= 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 cm) with 2% and 4% volume concentration

A single specimen of the African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, was recorded for the first time in Baghdad, Iraq. The specimen was caught during a fish survey to document some local species in northern Baghdad (Al-Rusafa) on March 21, 2023. The total length of the specimen was 43 cm, and its weight was 590 grams. Some biometric measurements of the specimen were studied and found to be consistent with the general characteristics of the African catfish Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822). It is possible that the fish entered Iraqi inland waters, specifically from the Euphrates River via Syria or from the Tigris River via Turkey.
This research is carried out to investigate the behavior of self-compacting concrete (SCC) two-way slabs with central square opening under uniformly distributed loads. The experimental part of this research is based on casting and testing six SCC simply supported square slabs having the same dimentions and reinforcement. One of these slabs was cast without opening as a control slab. While, the other five slabs having opening ratios (OR) of 2.78%, 6.25%, 11.11%, 17.36% and 25.00%. From the experimental results it is found that the maximum percentage decrease in cracking and ultimate uniform loads were 31.82% and 12.17% compared to control slab for opening ratios (OR

The study aimed to examine the clinical and pathological features of odontogenic tumors in Baghdad over the last 11 years (2011–2021). Materials and Methods: The present retrospective study analyzed all formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue blocks of patients diagnosed with an odontogenic tumor that were retrieved from archives at a teaching hospital/College of Dentistry in Baghdad University, Iraq, between 2011 and 2021. The diagnosis of each case was confirmed by examining the hematoxylin and eosin stained sections by two expert pathologists. Data from pati

In the geotechnical and terramechanical engineering applications, precise understandings are yet to be established on the off-road structures interacting with complex soil profiles. Several theoretical and experimental approaches have been used to measure the ultimate bearing capacity of the layered soil, but with a significant level of differences depending on the failure mechanisms assumed. Furthermore, local displacement fields in layered soils are not yet studied well. Here, the bearing capacity of a dense sand layer overlying loose sand beneath a rigid beam is studied under the plain-strain condition. The study employs using digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) and finite element method (FEM) simulations. In the FEM, an experiment
