ABSTRACT The phenomenon of desertification has a negative impact on the national economy of any country and may usually be obtained for many reasons such as the removal of agricultural land, depletion of soil, overgrazing, methods of poor irrigation, high temperature, and the lack of rainfall. The following paper tackles solving the problem of the lack of rainfall through the use of chemical methods such as preparing sodium polyacrylate and improving its properties by means of adding bentonite and thus obtaining a new and improved water absorption compound. The study concludes that the suitable range of bentonite ratio that is between (0 - 20 wt %) ensures water absorption from 1340 gg - 1 to 1500gg – 1 and thus the researcher confirms that the cross-linked of the compound will not be changed and the absorption of water will be higher. The presence of bentonite with polymer at a perfect percentage contributes to the reorganization of the distribution of the granular size of the polymer sodium polyacrylate—a matter that is reflected on the growing of its ability to absorb water and thus becoming a suitable compound in the treatment of desertification.

Cystoid Macular Edema (CME) in its various forms can be considered one of the leading causes of central vision loss in the developed world. It is not a disease itself, It represents a common pathologic sequel of the retina and occurs in a variety of pathological conditions such as, diabetic retinopathy, central or branch retinal vein occlusion, intraocular inflammation and following cataract extraction. This study was done to investigate the pattern of CME in patient attending Erbil Teaching Hospitals. This is a hospital base prospective study that included 61 patients (75 eyes) conducted at Erbil Teaching Hospital and Rigor Teaching Hospital for six months. All patients underwent a comprehensive assessment including medical and ophthalmic history and detailed ophthalmic examination including slit lamp examination, intraocular pressure measurement (IOP), Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), dilated fundus examination and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) examination. It was found that of the 61 patients 32 (52.5%) were females and 29 (47.5%) were males. The mean age (56.4±10.8) years. Out of the 75 eyes included in the study, 41 eyes (54.66%) had diabetic retinopathy, 10 (13.34%) eyes had CME following cataract operation (Irvine-Gass syndrome), 8 eyes (10.67%) had BRVO, 6 eyes (8%) were had CRVO, 5 eyes (6.66%) had Age related Macular Degeneration, 3 eyes (4%) with uveitis, and 2 (2.67%) had Retinitis Pigmentosa. The average macular thickness was (415.6± 107). It was concluded that diabetic retinopathy is the most common predictive factor of CME, followed by cataract surgery. CME is more severe in diabetic retinopathy, CRVO and after cataract surgery.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the seroprevalence of human herpes virus type 8 (HHV-8) in women with breast cancer. The study has been conduct in Kirkuk city for the period from January 1, 2019 to April 1, 2019 on 50 breast cancer women with age group 21-70 years. The study has also included 40 healthy women as control group. The study included the collection of 3 ml of venous blood for identification and measurement of IgG antibodies towards the HHV-8 by using ELISA technique (KomaBiotech, Co, USA). The study also included taking of full information from cases like living situation, age. The study showed that the maximum frequency of HHV-8 infection (34%) recorded among breast cancer women comparing with the control group (10%), with highly significant relation. The majority of breast cancer women with positive IgG were within the age group 51-60 (41.18%) and the lowest rate was in the age group 21-3 years. The study showed that the maximum frequency of HHV-8 infection in breast cancer women was found in women with 2 nd stage of breast cancer (58.83%) and the lowest rate was in the 1 st stage. The highest rate of HHV-8 infection in breast cancer women (76.47%) were with metastasis to neighbor lymph nodes while compared with 23.53% without metastasis while all breastt cancer women with HHV-8 negative were without metastasis. It has concluded that there was significant association between HHV-8 infection and occurrence of breast cancer and high rate of this infection has related to metastasis.

Abstract One of the most important oil derivatives in our time, which all the world seeks to obtain and produce a lot is lubricating oils, which are used for several important purposes and the most important is to keep the thermal engines from damage or collapse due to the phenomenon of friction of the moving parts mechanically at a high temperatures and pressure is relatively high as well as the wear phenomenon This research effort focuses on a comparative study of five types of mix crude Libyan oils (El-Feel Field, Al Wafa Field, Amina Field, Brega Field and Al-Sedra Field) for produced the lubricated oil experimentally . Test carried out on the production the lubrication oil by measuring the physical properties include: normal boiling point, pour point, specific gravity (Sp. gr.), standard density (API), dynamic viscosity , kinematics viscosity , Acentric factor and Watson factor (K or Kw). It’s found from the practical results of the production the lubricating oil from crude oil for atmospheric distillation of crude oil practically depends on measurement two physical properties very accurately Watson factor first and then the API. The results from the tests showed that, mix crude oil of Amena, El-Sedra and El-Feel fields suitable than others for production the lubricated oil at atmospheric and then use the vacuum distillation columns. Other results observation, that’s two others types are impossible to produce the lubricated oil. Also, the results observed that’s the useful mole percentage of lubricated oil cutoff has range very small from 2 to 17 % for these types of Libyan crude oils, this percentage will be increase when use vacuum distillation with added some additives materials. In addition, practical results have been found that not all the cutoff produced from atmospheric distillation within the range of temperatures between 370 and 550 oC are lubricating oils, but other compounds are oil derivatives suitable for different fuel depending on the chemical structure of these extracts. The final conclusion of this work is that any crude oil with a light Arabic class (has a relative density API less than 38 and a Kw lower than 12.1) is suitable for the production of lubricated oils from the crude oil.

The potential of adaptive antennas to optimize the wireless network performance make it one of the promising technologies that can face the increased demand for wireless communications services with the limited available bandwidth. Adaptive antennas have the ability to steer their main lobe in the direction of interest and placing nulls in the direction of interference. This can result in co-channel interference minimization, maximizing Signal to Interference Ratio (SIR) and then improve the receiver sensitivity. In this paper, the base-station sensitivity improvement and its effect on the mobile transmit power were investigated at different scenarios. Results show that using adaptive antenna yields in RF pollution reduction.

Two experiments were carried out during the summer season, 2016, in the green house / Department of Biology/Collage of Education, Samarra University, to evaluate the activity of three aqueous extract of leaves of Nerium (Nerium oleander L.),olives (Olea europaea .L) and castor (Ricinus communis.L), on control of tuber germination and growth of seedling of Cyperus rotundus L as an alternative for chemical pesticides. Experiments applied according to the complete randomized design (CRD) with four replicates. The experiments included two factors: the first factor plant species (three plant species),and the second factor concentration of plant extracts (2.5%, 5% and 10%) and their impact on germination rate and inhibition of seedling growth. The results of the first experiment recorded inhibition percentage reached (90%) at 5% and 10% from Nerium extracts compared with the same concentrations from Olive and Castor which, recorded inhibitory rate reached (30-40%) respectively. While the concentration of 2.5% was the lowest inhibition rates for germination ratio of all plant extracts under study. The second experiment showed effect of the Nerium extract at a concentration (10%) by recording completely inhibition ratio (100%), compared with the same concentrations of Castor and Olive extracts, which recorded the lowest mean growth inhibitory for all extracts. The results of the current study indicate the possibility of using natural products of plant origin as alternatives to chemical pesticides as one of the means of biological control in the management program agricultural sector with further studies of the future.
