The effectiveness of an Atmospheric Non Thermal Plasma for clinical and biological applications is studied. This research effort includes a desioning of plasma generating system and examine it on some medical and biological parameters. No patient had previous operative or chemotherapeutic treatment, so the patients with hematological disorders （hemophilia） and those with open heart surgery that receiving warfarin and other antithrombotic agents were excluded from the study. A total of eighty 80 Iraqi patients seeking for a medical consultation in A1-Ramadi Teaching Hospital were included in this study. The plasma treatment is applied both in vitro and in vivo experiments on those patients. In the in vivo experiments, the bleeding time tests were carried out on these patients; the results showed the bleeding time of the patients was reduced as compared with control. In vitro experiments regarding clotting time and prothrombine time PT, the results have demonstrated that this plasma device clots blood rapidly via a control. The dependencies of the degree of clotting on the exposure time, distance have been recorded. A series of experiments reveal that this effectiveness is due to the ability of direct discharge to bring charges to blood samples due to generation of so many mediators like reactive nitrogen species and free radicals.展开更多

Two hundred and thirty seven of these loci （99.16%） were polymorphic over all the genotypes tested. Dendrogram and matrix of similarity were obtained by the Unweighted Pair-Group Method analysis （UPGMA）. Study showed two groups： group A： Nepali, Arbqween, and group B： divided in two sub groups （sub group B 1： Jlot, Dahkan, sub group B2： other cultivar）, while the genotype relation according to phenotype was confused. SSR has a better molecular marker than other molecular technique for detecting genetic relationship among cultivars, and help in known the pedigree of relatives and ancestors.展开更多

In this study, Phaeoaeremonium specie was isolated from necrotic woody tissue of Platanus occidentalies L. （Platanus）. Morphological and cultural characteristics were used to identify the species, which known, and being described as Phaeoacremonium aleophillum. This is the first report on identifying Phaeoacremonium aleophillum from Platanus in Iraq, previously reports accommodate Cephalosporium acremonium from Platanus trees. This specie is able to produce toxic metabolites. Applications of P. aleophillum crude and cell-free filtrates induced severe chlorosis and necrosis on Platanus leaves after 24 hours of treatment with P. aleophillum culture filtrate. A novel phytotoxin was isolated from P. aleophillurn and culture filtrate was identified as galactouronic acid.展开更多

It covers an area of 5,315 km2 and has 2,092,998 inhabitants distributed throughout its five major cities （Qadhaa）. Presently, there is no landfill site in the governorate that meets the environmental criteria for the disposal of municipal and industrial waste. Consequently, GIS （geographic information system） and methods of multi-criteria decision making were used here to select the best sites in each city in the Babylon Governorate that would fulfil the environmental requirements. Two sites were chosen in each city. As the groundwater is very shallow in this area, the design should ensure against groundwater pollution by leachate from these sites. To avoid this problem, soil investigation was conducted at these sites so that the most suitable landfill design could be accomplished. The results of soil investigation in these sites include the soil profile, groundwater depth, chemical properties, allowable bearing capacity, Atterberg limits test results and material characteristics of the soil strata. From the research, it is believed that the best design is one that puts the landfill above ground.展开更多
