This study was conducted in the field of the Poultry Research Station of the Department of Animal Production / Department of Agricultural Research / Ministry of Agriculture for the period 4/4/2021 to 16/5/2021, in which 300 one-day-old Ross308 chicks that fed on diets used avocado oil and Chia with percentages 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6% respectively, and their mixture consisting of 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 each of avocado and Chia oil (50% avocado + 50% Chia oil). The experiment included 4 treatments with 3 replicates for each treatment (10 birds/replicates), in order to study the effect of using avocado and chia oil and their mixture in meat broiler diets on some physiological and microbial characteristics of blood plasma. The results indicate a significant increase (P < 0.01) in the concentration of total protein and globulin for the treatment birds in which the mixture of avocado and Chia oil was used. While there were no significant differences in the concentration of albumin between the types of the used oils. It was noted through the results that the percentage of usage 0.6% had achieved a high significant increase in the concentration of total protein, albumin and globulin in the blood plasma of the birds of these treatments compared with the rest of the percentages of use (0, 0.2 and 0.4). As for the interaction, the results showed a high significant increase in the protein concentration (P<0.01) in the treatment (M0.6) in both total protein and albumin concentration compared with the rest of the interactions, And the concentration of globulin was significantly increased (P<0.01) in the birds of the treatments (C0.6, M0.2, M0.4, M0.6) compared with the rest of the interactions. The results showed a high significant decrease (P<0.01) in the concentration of cholesterol in the birds of the treatments in which the mixture of oil and Chia oil were used, while a high significant increase (P < 0.01) in the concentration of HDL was observed in the birds that used the mixture of avocado and Chia oil in their diets compared with the other types of oils, While a high significant decrease (P<0.01) in LDL concentration was observed in birds of the treatment with the oil mixture, while no significant differences were observed between types of oils in the concentration of both triglycerides and VLDL. The level of the percentage of usage had a high significant decrease (P < 0.01) in the concentration of cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and VLDL at all levels of usage 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6% compared to the control treatment, while a high significant (P < 0.01) increase in the concentration of HDL was observed at the rates of use of 0.4 and 0.6% compared with the control treatment which is void of usage. Whereas, the best high significant improvement (P<0.01) in the lipid profile of the lipid plasma was achieved by a mixture treatment with a percentage of use of 0.6% compared with the rest of the interactions. It was noted that there was a high significant increase (P < 0.01) in the number of Lactobacillus bacteria and a high significant decrease (P < 0.01) in the number of E. coli bacteria in the avocado and Chia oil mixture treatments compared with the rest of the used oils. As for the study of the effect of the percentage of use, it increased significantly. (P < 0.01) Lactobacillus bacteria numbers of all usage percentages (0.2, 0.4 and 0.6) compared with the control treatment, in addition to a high significant decrease (P < 0.01) in the numbers of E. coli bacteria. As for the interaction between the type of oil and the percentage of usage, a high significant increase (P < 0.01) was observed in the numbers of Lactobacillus bacteria in the treatment (M0.2 and M0.6) compared with the rest of the interactions, in addition to a high significant decrease (P < 0.01) In the numbers of E.coli bacteria in treatment (M0.6) as the best interaction compared to the rest of the interactions. We conclude from this study that the use of mixed oil at a percentage of 0.4-0.6% in meat broiler diets will improve the physiological characteristics of the blood plasma, in addition to a decrease in the number of harmful bacteria (E. coli) and an increase in the number of beneficial bacteria, which has an important role in improving the physiological condition of birds, which is reflected positively on productive performance and obtaining high growth without the use of harmful synthetic materials.
This work includes synthesis of new six membered heterocyclic rings with effective amino group using the reaction of benzylideneacetophenone (chalcone) (1) with thiourea or urea in alcoholic basic medium to form: 1,3-thiazen-2-amine (2), and 1,3-oxazin-2-amine (8) respectively. The diazotization reaction was carried out with sodium nitrite in presence of hydrochloric acid to form diazonium salts which suffered coupling reaction with naphthols and phenols in the presence of sodium hydroxide to form colored azo dyes (4-7, and 10-13). o-methylation reaction of compounds (7) and (10) yielded : 1,3-thiazin -2-yl-diazenyl (14), and 1,3-oxazin-2-yl-diazenyl (15) respectively.The new compounds were characterized using vario

Therefore, the purpose of this research was to determine the impact of oxygen and argon plasma treatment on the shear bonding strength of soft liners to two different kinds of denture base materials: conventional acrylic resin and high impact acrylic resin. Materials and Methods: Heat cure conventional and high impact acrylic blocks (40 for each group) were prepared. A soft liner connected the final test specimen of two blocks of each acrylic material. Shear bond strength (SBS) was assessed using universal testing machine. Additional blocks were also prepared for analyzing Vickers microhardness, contact ang

Three areas were selected to study street dusts which are Al-Baladitat, Al-Obaidi and Ziona. The laboratory analyses were done in the Department of Geology, College of Science, University of Baghdad. The heavy metal contents were determined in the roadside dust using XRF Method. It was found that the dust is of muddy texture, and is believed to be transmitted with the various storms blowing on Baghdad or by the wheels of Cars.

In this work, electrochemical process was presented to polymerized eugenol on Gr.2 and Gr.5 titanium alloys before and after treated by Micro Arc Oxidation (MAO), where Gr.2 is commercial pure titanium and Gr.5 is Ti-6Al-4V dental alloys. The deposited layers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The adhesion strength of polymeric thin-film was estimation by using pull-off adhesion test and the result was the adhesion strength of PE was (1.23 MPa) on Gr.2 before MAO and increase to (1.98 MPa) on Gr.2 after MAO treatment.
