In this paper, the dynamic of quark and anti-quark interaction has been used to study the production of photons in the annihilation process based on the theory of chromodynamic. The rate of the photon is to be calculated for charm and anti-strange interaction c→γg system with critical temperature 113 and 130 MeV and photon energy GeV/c. Here the critical temperature, strength coupling and photons energy are assumed to be affected dramatically on the rate of photons emission of state interaction c, which can form gluon possible structures and photon emission state. The decreased photons emission yields with increased strength couple of quarks reaction due to increase critical temperature from 113 MeV to 130 MeV were predicted. We can be found less difference in photons rate for the two different critical temperatures and strength coupling.

UreA is an important virulence factor of Helicobacter pylori that, along with UreB and UreC, produces urease. Urease enzyme helps the bacterium to colonize the human stomach through metabolizing urea in order to neutralize the gastric environment. The current study aimed to detect the prevalence of the H. pylori’s ureA virulence factor gene, and to investigate the influence of this gene on the result of the rapid urease test (RUT). Eighty stomach biopsy samples were isolated from participants who were suspected to be infected with H. pylori in Erbil city. Participants were 36 males and 44 females, aged between 18 and 67 years. The results showed that 42 (52.5%) of the participants were positive for H. pylori when tested by RUT, while 59 (73.8%) of the patients showed positive H. pylori infection when tested by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting the 16S rRNA gene. The results of the PCR test based on the ureA gene revealed that 42 (52.5%) of the samples were positive. The important finding of this research is the presence of 100% compatibility between positive samples of RUT and ureA genes. It can be concluded from this study that a person may be infected with H. pylori, but the RUT test fails to detect the infection if the bacteria lack the ureA gene, indicating a direct impact of this gene on the result of RUT, which is a defect of RUT.

The measurements of radioactive concentrations using portable radiological devices for radiochemistry laboratories at the Al-Tuwaitha nuclear site (section C) were studied, section C consists of three laboratories, C1, C2, and C3 were used, Redeye device to measure the radioactive concentrations of alpha and beta emitters, and the Interceptor™ Specifications device to detect radioisotopes. The results showed the presence of radioactive contamination in Unit C distributed over most of its parts. In the C1 laboratory, the highest radioactive contamination was recorded in HCL2 with a concentration of 113.65Bq/cm2. In addition, the C2 laboratory recorded the highest radioactive concentration in FH1 with a concentration of 830.14Bq/cm2 for Beta particle emitters, while the C3 laboratory recorded the highest pollution in FH contamination with a radioactive concentration of 75.26 Bq/cm2. The results show that location C shows the isotopes detected in the laboratory components, such as Cesium 137Cs, Neptunium 237Np, and Americium 241Am. The results showed the presence of contamination on the laboratory floor in the fourth part, contaminated with Americium 241Am and Lutetium 167Lu isotopes. While location B did not record radioactive contamination in most of its parts except for room B8 which recorded radioactive concentrations of about 1.33 Bq/cm2.

100 isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii were collected from different clinical sources including (blood, sputum and burns) from hospitals in Baghdad - Iraq. In order to investigate its resistance to fluoroquinolones. MIC assay for ciprofloxacin was performed using E-test, and PCR assay for gry A and parC genes. The results of the MIC showed that A. baumannii was sensitive to ciprofloxacin at concentration=<4 μg/ml. As for the PCR assay, the prevalence of gyr A gene in 40 of the isolates was 40%, while the par C gene in 16 of the isolates was 16%. This research shed light on the rapid spread of fluoroquinolone resistance that included both ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin among A.baumannii bacteria isolated from clinical sources.

Climate change has become fast and entered a new stage and began to affect all regions of the world. so, the climate must be analyzed and studied accurately. In order to do this, should be available a continuous database without interruptions, to improve the accuracy of forecasts. Therefore, this research aims to treat the missing temperature data for the stations (Baghdad, Hilla, Basra, Nasiriya, and Samawa) by using the curve fitting method. In the monthly treatment for the period (1980-2020), it was observed that the highest match between the real and the treatment values using the Gaussian function and the sine wave function was recorded in the summer months at (100%), and the lowest match was recorded in the winter months. The daily treatment period (2010-2020) recorded the highest match at (97%) in the summer, and the lowest match was recorded in the winter months. In order for the treated values to be close to the real values, it is recommended to use this method for months from April to October. In the winter months, it should be used with caution.

Synthesis of nano-oxides in an easy and environmentally friendly way using simple and green materials is one of the hot interests of sustainable chemistry for lots of pharmaceutical and medical applications. Herein, we synthesized α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (α-Fe2O3 NPs) using ginger extract after that calcination at 400 C° for 4 h. The prepared α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles were examined using ultraviolet-visible reflection spectroscopy (UV-VIS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, and zeta potential. After well characterizations, the potency of the prepared α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles to monitor some scavenging activity was explored against DPPH. Results revealed that PL intensity has one peak in the UV region between (480-490) nm of the spectrum depending on the geometric shape and size of the α-Fe2O3 NPS. The UV-visible spectra showed a peak at 296.0 nm, which represented the α-Fe2O3 NPs. The EDX micrograph confirmed pure oxide and the XRD pattern showed that the α-Fe2O3 NPs had an average crystal size (19.3) nm. SEM images of α-Fe2O3 NPs revealed spherical, rod, and irregular shapes and sizes ranging from (15 to 60) nm. Moreover, the antioxidant activity of α-Fe2O3 NPs against DPPH showed 51.8% free radical scavenging ability at 360 μg/mL, which approved good evidence of the antioxidant activity of α-Fe2O3 NPs.

In this paper, we prepared Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) based dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC). Downscaling of commercial TiO2 powder have been achieved by systematic ball milling carried out using home-made ball milling device. Thin films were prepared and samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, UV-Vis and I-V. The main objective of this work is to prepare TiO2 based (DSSC) using N3 dye and study the effect of the TiO2 grain size inside the photoanode layer on the efficiency of the solar cell. UV-vis study of nanometer sized TiO2 particles showed that the energy gab has shifted towards the lower wavelength in electromagnetic spectrum (blue shift), and then optical band gap is an indirect and allowed transition. Energy gap calculations of related grain size of showed quantum confinement effect. A sophisticated strategy for TiO2 films consisting of tailoring monolayer, bilayer and trilayer of mixed multisized nanoparticles were adopted and investigated as DSSC electrodes. Our results showed that the dye sensitized solar cells can be substantially altered due to the designs and the particle size distributions of the TiO2 photoelectrode. The maximum efficiency of 0.5% was reached by TiO2 photoelectrode designed as a trilayer with a particles of wide size distribution from about 12 to 340 nm in the middle layer. The approach of light scattering in submicrometer‐sized TiO2 nanoparticles aggregates was adopted in order to interpret the enhancement of our DSSC efficiency over extending the length transported by electromagnetic wave hence to promote the light acquiring efficiency of photoelectrode thin film. The relatively larger particle sizes afford the TiO2 films with both better packing and an increased capability for scattering of the incident electromagnetic wave, and hence improves our DSSC efficiency.

We design and numerically model a 3D nanoring-nanodisk structure and evaluate the effect of the ring and the disk radii size within the presented structure on optical enhancement. Nanoring-nanodisk is a powerful structure for enhancing the local electric field for photo-sensing applications. We present an enhanced local electric field from the UV to IR wavelength range using the proposed structure with a fixed nanogap. It shows a strong dependence on the disk radius of the structure. In addition, two distinct peaks have different plasmonic vibrational modes appearing in the spectrum. These modes are revealed by 3D surface charge and local electric field distributions. Moreover, our calculations reveal that a smaller disk radius with a larger ring radius can generate more optical enhancement.
