Iraqi provinces suffer many of the environmental problems, appear explained these problems in the city of Basra, Basra, the largest province and is among Iraq's provinces in the annexation of oil fields, which is experiencing an oil production operations of large, it suffers from the burning of gas associated with oil extraction resulting in the emission severe gas process including toxic hydrogen sulfide gas (h2S) and oxides of carbon, sulfur and nitrogen in addition to the release of toxic metal elements such as mercury, arsenic, vanadium, which caused the man many serious diseases. , And perhaps one of the most important of these problems are worsening air quality and increasing cases of air pollution and the deterioration of the quality of facilities in the industrial and cultural development.
The research aims to study assessing the quality of air Basra province through the concentrations of pollutants solid air which include total suspended minutes Total Suspended Particles (TSP measure) and lead (pb), through the analysis of the results (40) model daily to measure the total outstanding minutes and analysis (30 model) daily to measure the concentrations of lead in the air at one station in Basra Directorate of Environment building in the center of the province in 2007.Search Results showed that there is a rise in the concentration of the outstanding minutes where they were recording the lowest and highest daily concentration reaching (67) and (3597) ug / m3 for the months (July and December) and April respectively. Also found a significant increase in the concentrations of the daily outstanding minutes annual rate, as it exceeded the permissible limits by comparing it with the local and global determinants the (350) and (150) ug / m3 respectively.
We conclude from this that air Basra province contaminated minutes outstanding is due to the influence of fly dust because most of the sites are influenced by dust fly by dust storms and operations of drilling oil wells, as well as the effect of divorced exhaust generators and transportation and some industrial activities). Search results showed that the measurement of the concentration of lead did not exceed the standard parameters allowed locally and globally to air pollutants and Albalgth (2 micrograms / m3 on a daily basis) and (1.5 ug / m3 on average per year), respectively, with the exception of the highest concentration was recorded, a (3.5) microg / m3 in the month of May is the only measurement that exceeded the proposed national specified for the lead during the measurement period. We conclude from this study that the pollutants solid aerodynamic effects harmful to the environment and health.

A simple, environmental friendly and selective sample preparation technique employing porous membrane protected micro-solid phase extraction (μ-SPE) loaded with molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for the determination of ochratoxin A (OTA) is described. After the extraction, the analyte was desorbed using ultrasonication and was analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography. Under the optimized conditions, the detection limits of OTA for coffee, grape juice and urine were 0.06 ng g−1, 0.02 and 0.02 ng mL−1, respectively while the quantification limits were 0.19 ng g−1, 0.06 and 0.08 ng mL−1, respectively. The recoveries of OTA from coffee spiked at 1, 25 and 50 ng g−1, grape juice and urine samples at 1, 25 and 50 ng mL

Aphelenchus avenae was isolated from the wheat crown in Summel distract- Duhok, Kurdistan region-Iraq infected by a crown rot disease which is caused by Fusarium spp; wheat's crown culturing on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) and incubating at 25°C A. avenae was found associated with fungal culture which meant that fungal nematode was parasitic on crown rot fungi on wheat crown, this species was described for the first time in Iraq.
Fungal Nematode incubated with Fusarium graminearum, F. oxysporum and Verticillium dahliae reproduce in both solid and liquid media, best results of nematode reproduction were recorded on F. graminearum followed by F. oxy

In this study, Al2O3 thin films were prepared by dc reactive sputtering technique using different gas mixtures of argon and oxygen gases (90:10, 70:30, 50:50, 30:70, and 10:90). These films were characterized to introduce their surface morphology and elemental composition as functions of the oxygen content in the gas mixture. The gas mixing ratio plays a crucial role in controlling the nanoscale morphology of the prepared thin films. The [Al]/[O] ratio varies non-linearly with the Ar:O2 mixing ratio. Increasing the oxygen content leads to a progressive decrease in surface roughness, resulting in smoother and more uniform films with finer granular features. These results presented herein are useful to optimize the sputtering process to ac
... Show MoreComposite materials are widely used in the engineered assets as aerospace structures, marine and air navigation owing to their high strength/weight ratios. Detection and identification of damage in the composite structures are considered as an important part of monitoring and repairing of structural systems during the service to avoid instantaneous failure. Effective cost and reliability are essential during the process of detecting. The Lamb wave method is an effective and sensitive technique to tiny damage and can be applied for structural health monitoring using low energy sensors; it can provide good information about the condition of the structure during its operation by analyzing the propagation of the wave in the
