In this paper a new clustering algorithm is proposed for optimal clustering of MRI medical image. In our proposed algorithm, the clustering process implemented by K-means clustering algorithm, due to its simplicity and speed. The optimization process was done by a well-known metaheuristic algorithms Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) and Cuckoo Search Optimizer. GWO is a metaheuristic algorithm inspired by the social hierarchy and hunting behavior of grey wolves. It mimics the leadership hierarchy and hunting strategies of wolves to explore the search space efficiently. GWO has shown promising performance in finding high-quality solutions compared to other well-established optimizers. It explores the solution space to find better cluster assignments that minimize the overall intra-cluster variance. By leveraging the exploration potential of GWO, the proposed algorithm aims to improve the quality of the clustering results. Furthermore, the Cuckoo Search Optimizer (CS) is combined with GWO to enhance the algorithm's ability to find a global solution. Cuckoo Search is a metaheuristic algorithm inspired by the breeding behavior of cuckoo birds. It employs random search and Levy flights to diversify the search process and avoid getting trapped in local optima. By combining CS with GWO, the proposed algorithm aims to increase the likelihood of finding the optimal clustering solution.

One of the primary concerns of the environment is the increment of the xenobiotics levels, which are released in the natural ecosystem. Phenol has been documented as a pollutant because it has a significant role in water contamination; this will, therefore have an impact on the health of humans. Phenol degradation studies were carried out using a mineral salts medium containing various percentages (v/v) of Ca-alginate beads, polyurethane foam, agar-agar and agarose in batches of culture for 1.5 g/L phenol degradation by immobilized cells of Rhodococcus pyridinivorans GM3 during 24 hours of incubation at 32ºC, 200 rpm and pH 8.5. The results showed that a typical concentration of 3% (w/v) of the sodium alginate to form synthetic Ca-alginate beads was supporting phenol degradation which also emphasizes the structural stability of Ca-alginate beads. The concentration of 1.5 g/L phenol was completely degraded observed within 24 hours at 8% of the Ca-alginate beads immobilized cell and 10% of size cubes 0.125 cm3 of the polyurethane foam immobilized cell. Whilst, the degradation of 1.5 g/L of phenol concentration within 24 hours on both agar and agarose was 16% and 24% at cubes of size 0.125 cm3 and 1.0 cm3 respectively. However, the study of immobilization showed that Ca-alginate immobilized R. pyridinivorans GM3 was more efficient than polyurethane foam, agar and agarose.

After the excessive use of antibiotics in poultry breeding projects, which were used to reduce or reduce pathogenic bacteria, and to achieve biosecurity, however, these attempts were negatively reflected in the emergence of bacterial species that possess the characteristic of resistance against some types of antibiotics, which made the World Health Organization prohibit the use of some types of these antibiotics in poultry farming, for fear of transmission to the consumer. This has preoccupied many researchers with conducting various studies on safe alternatives instead of using manufactured antibiotics, as efforts have intensified by supporting the intestinal flora with probiotics, which contain beneficial bacteria and some yeasts, to achieve microbial balance. We can summarize the results of previous studies in this article: the use of vital nutrition with different levels of beneficial bacteria and yeasts has an influential role in enhancing the natural intestinal flora of domestic birds, which effectively contributes to creating a microbial balance, as a result of competitive exclusion in obtaining attachment sites for receptors. The cells of the intestinal wall, and the excretion of large numbers of harmful bacteria outside the alimentary canal, thus improving the functioning of the alimentary canal, which is represented by an increase in the use of nutrients, and this is reflected in a significant improvement in the productive, physiological and microbial characteristics of broilers and laying hens.

This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound versus CT scans in diagnosing pleural effusion across 53 patients, incorporating demographic data, medical histories, and diagnostic outcomes. Ultrasound demonstrated a sensitivity of 95.31%, a specificity of 90.48%, a Positive Predictive Value (PPV) of 93.85%, a Negative Predictive Value (NPV) of 92.68%, and an overall accuracy of 93.40%.

In contrast, for loculation detection, CT demonstrated a higher efficacy with a 100% detection rate, surpassing ultrasound's 66.7%.

Urban growth simulation models have proven their great effectiveness over years, as through these models a geographic information base is built in which presented to planners and specialists in urban planning, and in light of this, informed and correct decisions are made. Therefore, this research focused on predicting changes in the types of land cover in the city of Mosul from 2007 to 2017 to reach a prediction for the year 2027 using the simulation models available in the IDRISI SELVA program, and through the compatibility between geographic information systems and remote sensing programs. The CA-MARKOV model was employed to predict the size of expected changes in the types of land cover and obtain an objective map signifying the spread spatial organisms. The results showed that the city of Mosul is expected to expand spatially in the category of built-up areas to an area of up to (18) km2, where the constructed areas are expected to occupy an area of up to (143.5) km2, and by (79%) of the city region. It is expected that the city will be overcrowded with urbanization and what remains of barren areas and agricultural areas, are very limited and not commensurate with the increase of the city’s population, as it is expected to reach a number of (2,119,363) people in in the year 2027. Consequently, the research suggested expanding outside the city borders for a distance of 7 km2 in all directions by referring to experts in this field in order for the city to be built on a planned approach that does not distort its shape and grow more green spaces.

Nowadays, drones are one of the most important and valuable sources for acquiring aerial imagery and data related to inspection, monitoring, mapping, smart city organization, disaster monitoring and prevention, and 3D modeling. Drones are a low-cost alternative to aerial and space photography because they provide users with images with high spatial resolution down to centimeters. These images enable the production of accurate 3D models such as Digital Surface and Terrain Models (DTM/DSM), contour lines, vector information, etc. This research provides a brief overview of the studies conducted in the Unmanned Aircraft Unit - Remote Sensing Center - University of Mosul. The programs, sequence of operations, and treatments that were followed on the drone images taken by these aircraft were reviewed to prepare them for use in remote sensing and aerial survey operations. This flows towards the use of this technology in the development of smart cities. Specialized GIS software was also used to analyze and process the aerial images that were taken using the DJI Phantom 4 aircraft to study several areas in the city of Mosul, where several sorties were conducted at different periods and times of time.
