The resistance of Staphylococcus aureus to ciprofloxacin has complicated the problem of treating staphylococcal associated infections in which MRSA is the causative agent since ciprofloxacin was the drug of choice to treat such infections. Our study investigated the incidence of Ciprofloxacin resistant S. aureus isolates that were also methicillin resistant among Iraqi patients. The obtained bacterial isolates were tested for Ciprofloxacin resistance using agar dilution method and the sequence of gyrA and parC. The results revealed that about 8% of the isolated MRSA strains were Ciprofloxacin resistant and the resistance was due to mutation in gyrA rather than parC.

This research has been devoted to the objective and important issue which is the legal protection of the printing form of the newspaper in the Iraqi press.

As this issue constitutes the integrated unit of the printing format in addition to achieving legal protection for the illustrative image used in the press. Such matter, on both level the integrated unit of the printing format and the legal protection, is out of reach of study due to the comprehension of the subject is concerned.

Although there is a justification for dealing with both of them together as the explanatory image is one of the foundations on which the printing format of the newspaper is built. This case generates, at least, the same legal subject that appe

The lower olefins (Ethylene, propylene, and butylene) are considered the key to the polymeric and petrochemical industries. Dehydration of alcohols to produce light olefins (Methanol-to-olefins reaction) over SAPO-34 molecular sieve has attractedintoigh attention. Modified SAPO-34 zeolite catalyst with Zr metal was successfully prepared under microwave irradiation using morpholine as a structure direct agent. The microwave energy power used was 800 w and the crystallization time was 200 min. The catalyst sample was characterized by XRD, SEM, EDX, BET, FTIR, and TGA analysis. XRD analysis exhibited a typical chabazite structure with high crystallinity. The analysis showed macrocrystalline particles with moderate distribution of silica in

Many researchers are currently investigating carbon dioxide capture and storage since it is suppressing the global warming phenomenon. Aqueous carbon dioxide chemical absorption is the most effective method. The present study incorporates the applicability and performance of blended alkanol amine solutions monoethanolamine (MEA) with diethylenetriamine (DETA) as a chemical blended absorbent investigated in a pilot scale column packed randomly with Rashing rings. The effect of operating conditions on absorption performance was examined. The performance investigation is given in terms of the overall mass transfer coefficient  and carbon dioxide capture efficiency (ƞ). Typically, DETA: MEA with a mass ratio of 1:1 and total mass

The tremendous political transformations that took place in Iraq after 2003 led by the USA and its allies led to a change of its political system under the slogan of liberating Iraq from dictatorship, establishing a democratic system and spreading freedom among members of the society.
However, democracy was a mantle under which the US intended to achieve its expansionist ambitions in the region. It did not come to liberate Iraq as it claimed, but it occupied Iraq and all its materialistic and human resources. Thus, this change resulted in lots of negative events and societal pests that affected the entire social system and values. Youth is an important segment; it is one of the most affected age groups with the happenings and accident

The research tacklets the role of risks arising from the excessive use of derivative contracts for trading in financial crises, including the recent global financial crisis in (2008) which is known the mortgage crisis.

   In order to prove the hypothesis of the research, the risk index of derivative contracts has been chosed as expressed in the measure of (value at risk) to be the main field for testing the hypothesis of research. The duration of the contract  has been also chased  for (15) years between the years (2001- 2015), the period preceding the global financial crisis, while the second represents the period of time that followed. The research reached a number of conclusions, bu

It has become familiar to see alchemy as a methodological approach that combines conscious, diverse, psychological, social, structural, and discrete approaches in the communications technology that Marshall McLuhan found to be able to extend our bodies and senses, The media discourse has a deep and superficial structure produced by the first, with its social, cultural and historical backgrounds, in a context that connects the image with the word, as the "meanings are made" - everywhere, as described by Jonathan ) In fashion, in the arts as a whole, and from its "signs" Our analysis of «meaning», in the media, and communication through advertising, magazines, newspapers, television, and the Internet. Therefore, alchemy is preoccupied wi

      Semiotics has been through wide experiences in various human sciences, especially in the fields of poetry, novel and myths. But its interest in the theatre and drama was much less and unique despite the richness of the theatrical connection as it is a probable field for the semiotic investigation which may require the semiotic approach in dealing with the theatrical and dramatic show during the two processes of: structural construction and deconstruction starting from a set of overlapping and interconnected texts inside the show, which can be limited in the text, then it would be difficult to semiotically cover all these complex and tricky texts. The theatre in its structural and aesthetic construction is c

لا توجد قضية شغلت الإنسان منذ فجر التاريخ عملًا واعتقادًا وحديثًا ودراسة كقضية الدين، فالدين ظاهرة عامة موجودة في كل مكان، وتشكل حدثًا إنسانيًا فريدًا، ومن المعلوم أنه يوجد في التاريخ حضارات بلا فنون، وحضارات بلا تقدم مادي، ولكن لا حضارة بلا دين، وفي إطار هذه الظاهرة الفريدة بدأت الدراسات بالبحث عن جذور فكرة الدين في تاريخ البشرية، فجاء المفكر الفرنسي "غوستاف لوبون" لرفع الستار عن الدين، وبدأ بطرح

اتبع الشُّعراء في القرنين الثالث عشر والرابع عشر للهجرة, مسار الشعراء القدامى, من حيث توظيفهم للصور الشعرية بأنواعها, فمرجعية الشعراء كانت تعتمد على الصور البيانية, التي طغت في تلك الحقبتين, فضلاً عن ظهور أنماط أُخرى في أثناء قصائدهم, إذ إن الصورة الشعرية من المرجعيات التي يعتمدها الشُّعراء في بناء نصوصهم؛ لما لها من سمة التأثير في المتلقي, وهذا ما يرصده البحث بالنتاج الشعري العراقي, الذي يكشف صورة سيدنا الع

In this study the thermal conductivity of the epoxy composites were characterized as function of volume fraction, particle size of fillers and the time of immersion(30,60,90)days in water .Composites plates were prepared by incorporating (bi-directional) (0º-90º) glass fiber and silicon carbide (SiC) particles of (0.1,0.5,1)mm as particle size at (10%,20%,30%,40%) percent volume in epoxy matrix.
The composites shows slightly increase of the thermal conductivity with increasing volume fraction, particle size and increase with increasing the days of immersion in water. The maximum thermal conductivity (0.51W/m.K) was obtained before the immersion in water at 90 days for epoxy reinforcement by bi-directional glass fiber and SiC particl

Abstract The Kenyan policy towards Somalia was influenced by a set of interrelated factors between the two countries and stemmed from the internal environment and most prominent: the geographical factor, ethnic, cultural, religious, political, economic and security, has been dominated by this policy since independence from the British colonial administration in the sixties of the last century and so far the nature of instability and tension, As the two countries are geographically contiguous and as security risks escalate, Kenya in 2011 rushed military action against Somalia, the first military action by Kenya outside its borders since independence.

Based on the streamer growth model, the streamer discharge propagation was simulated in aid of finite element technique. That was done within two non- mixed dielectric liquids (Normal-Hexane and Acetone) located between two electrodes in pin - plane configuration. The output results show that, the path of the streamer was affected by the interface between the two liquids; the streamer path crosses this interface under some conditions such as the permittivity of the liquids and the distance between this interface and the tip of the pin. Under other conditions, the streamer path grows along the interface. The results were assisted by the development of the potential and the electric field distributions with the growth of the streamer propa
