The research addressed an analytical field investigation of the locality of meander, the factors responsible of the locality of the meander at certain points of the stream other than others, and the role sequence of these factors in the formation process.
The research revealed that the location of forming the meander was associated closely with the scale structural composition of the bank materials from which the first stage of forming the curved stream, for the inhomogeneous or non-identical opposite banks in their scale structural composition saw an activity of differential corrosion, while the homogeneous and identical opposite banks in their scale structural composition saw an identical corrosion activity in its intensity at both banks. The research investigated in field the presence of scale variation of the materials of opposite banks in the location of forming the meander which was not found at the incurved stream banks by taking samples and analyze them in scale. The analysis results showed that the synclinal bank was with high sand ratio which was the reason behind the activity of corrosion process due to its weak cohesion, high permeability, and highroughness creating an environment of frequent turmoil reverse eddy currents. As to its opposite bank which represented the convex bank, the results of the scale analysis showed its soil to be with high content of mud; therefore, it was resistant to the corrosion activity compared to the synclinal bank, being more cohesive and of weak permeability, it was soft, so it did not create a turmoil eddy motional environment of the aquatic currents. While in the incurved stream, the results of the scale analysis showed that the soil of both opposite banks were identical in its volume content; therefore, the activity of the corrosion process was identical at both banks and its high sand ratio resulted in the expansion of the stream and not its fold.
The research revealed that the circularity of the curved stream imposed the presence of the centrifugal force which appeared in the domains of the circular motion, changing the concentration locations of the currents. As it is well-known, the fastest currents in the river are those which locate far away from the bottom and the banks, and are found in the middle of the stream which we really found in the incurved stream, but due to the control of the centrifugal force, we found that the fastest currents were concentrated at the synclinal banks and that the slowest currents were concentrated at the synclinal banks, which explains logically and realistically due to the contrast of the corrosion and sediment activity in the curved river streams and the presence of centrifugal force was responsible of the development of these streams from fold to curve to turn to cut lake.
The research defined the morphology of the curved stream at any stage of the development stages at the presence of three corrosion units that represent the synclinal banks meeting three sedimentary units represent the convex banks, two of which were opposite to each other represent overall the neck of the stream and the stream in its complete shape was represented by the overall of these corners
Objectives: To find out the effect of l-hydroxyphenazine (1-HP) on viability of T-lymphocytes and the reflects of this
effect on experimental hyadatidosis on hydatid cyst protoscoleces infectivity in vivo.
Methodology: Four groups of white male /ه/mice were experimentally infected with four concentrations of (1-HP)

Results: It has been found that the higher concentrations (75,100) 1101/111 of the (1-HP) causes significant
decrement in the lymphocytes viability in comparison with negative and positive control groups. (060.01).
Recommendations: The study recommended using concentrations lower than 25 pmole Iml which
This paper presents an experimental study of cooling photovoltaic (PV) panels using evaporative cooling. Underground (geothermal energy) water used to extract heat from it during cooling and cleaning of PV panels. An experimental test rig was constructed and tested under hot and dusty climate conditions in Baghdad. An active cooling system was used with auxiliary an underground water tank to provide cold water as a coolant over both PV surfaces to reduce its temperature. The cellulose pad has been arranged on the back surface and sprays cooling on the front side. Two identical PV panels modules used: without cooling and evaporative water cooling. The experiments are comprised of four cases: Case (I): backside cooling, Ca

This paper presents the ability to use cheap adsorbent (corn leaf) for the removal of Malachite Green (MG) dye from its aqueous solution. A batch mode was used to study several factors, dye concentration (50-150) ppm, adsorbent dosage (0.5-2.5) g/L, contact time (1-4) day, pH (2-10), and temperature (30-60) The results indicated that the removal efficiency increases with the increase of adsorbent dosage and contact time, while inversely proportional to the increase in pH and temperature. An SEM device characterized the adsorbent corn leaves. The adsorption's resulting data were in agreement with Freundlich isotherm according to the regression analysis, and the kinetics data followed pseudo-first-or

Abstract
Metal cutting processes still represent the largest class of manufacturing operations. Turning is the most commonly employed material removal process. This research focuses on analysis of the thermal field of the oblique machining process. Finite element method (FEM) software DEFORM 3D V10.2 was used together with experimental work carried out using infrared image equipment, which include both hardware and software simulations. The thermal experiments are conducted with AA6063-T6, using different tool obliquity, cutting speeds and feed rates. The results show that the temperature relatively decreased when tool obliquity increases at different cutting speeds and feed rates, also it

A constant DC voltage gradient of 1 V/cm was applied for all these tests with duration of 7 days remediation process for each test. Different purging solutions and addition configurations, i.e. injection wells, were investigated experimentally to enhance the removal of lead from Iraqi soil during electro-kinetic remediation process. The experimental results showed that the overall removal efficiency of lead for tests conducted with distilled water, 0.1 M acetic acid, 0.2 M EDTA and 1 M ammonium citrate as the purging solutions were equal to 18 %, 37 %, 42 %, and 29 %, respectively.
