Employment of Qur'anic Stories in the Service of Civil Society

The Qur'anic methods and their impact on the building of man and society---I chose this title because the Qur'anic stories derive from their lessons, and if we apply them to our contemporary reality and serve civil society, we will live in comfort, tranquility, and justice. It is He who is between His hands and the detailing of all things, and guidance and mercy for people who believe [Yusuf: .[111 The nature of the research required an introduction, three chapters, a conclusion, sources, and references. Introduction: After thanking and praising the Almighty and praying for His Prophet, I mentioned the reason for choosing the topic and the research plan. The first topic was Quranic stories and their goals; the second was civil society, its advantages, and its characteristics; and the third was the use of Quranic stories. Conclusion: The included the most important results of the research. In conclusion, I have made a modest effort in this research, for whatever was right in it is from God alone, to Him be praise in the first and the hereafter, and whatever was found in it of error, slippage, or omission is from myself and the devil, and I ask God's forgiveness for that. And I ask God to make this work purely for His sake and to teach us what will benefit us; we know that He is the guardian and the one who is able to do it.

The 43GHz SiO maser in the circumstellar envelope of the AGB star R Cassiopeiae

We present multi-epoch, total intensity, high-resolution images of 43GHz, v=1, J=1-0 SiO maser emission toward the Mira variable R Cas. In total we have 23 epochs of data for R Cas at approximate monthly intervals over an optical pulsation phase range from 0.158 to 1.78. These maps show a ring-like distribution of the maser features in a shell, which is assumed to be centred on the star at a radius of 1.6 to 2.3 times the stellar radii. It is clear from these images that the maser emission is significantly extended around the star. At some epochs a faint outer arc can be seen at 2.2 stellar radii. The intensity of the emission waxes and wanes during the stellar phase. Some maser features are seen infalling as well as outflowing. We have made initial comparisons of our data with models by Gray et. al. (2009).Comment: 12 pages, 14 figure

Facies analysis and stratigraphic development of the Albian Succession in Nasiriyah Oil Field, Southern Iraq

The Carbonate - Clastic succession in this study is represented by the Nahr Uamr and Mauddud Formations deposited during the Albian Sequence. This study includes facies analysis and stratigraphic development for this succession in 5 boreholes within Nasiriyah oil field. There are several types of microfacies were recognized in the succession of the Mauddud Formation. Their characteristic grain types and depositional texture enabled the recognition of six facies associations (depositional environments) were distinguished in the Mauddud Formation, they are: shallow open marine, restricted, reef, slope, deep open marine and basinal. Two types of rocks are observed within the Nahr Umr Formation; the first is the upper part which characterized by shale dominated rocks and the second (lower part) is characterized by sand dominated rocks. Four facies associations (depositional environments) were distinguished in the Nahr Umr Formation, they are: delta plain, prodelta, bay fill, and distributary channels. The microfacies analysis and reconstructed the paleoenvironments of the Albain basin in the studied area; there are three stages of the deposition: - during the first stage the sea level was rise which led to progress prodelta facies (retrogradation) and onlapping the unconformity. This part is represented by TST stage in all studied boreholes. The prodelta facies was changed to distributary channel facies up-wared to mark the mfs between these two facies. This refers to deposition during the high stand period as two cycles. The sea level was reactivated to progress after the last step of Nahr Umr deposition, to start the Mauddud Formation deposition. At second stage the facies change was shown three steps of the sea level rise (TST) to deposition the restricted, reef-back reef and shallow open marine/slope. Overlying the slope facies to the shallow marine and then deposited the shallow marine refer to maximum flooding surfaces after deposition the last ones. Therefore, the shallowing up-ward succession which deposition later was represented the high stand stage (HST). The final stage is represented by reactivated the sea level rise to deposition the basinal facies within the Mauddud Formation. The continued rise in sea level during the period of transgression (TST) is a preparation for the Ahmadi basin, which is characterized by deposition in a deep environment and conformable lower contact with the Mauddud Formation

Effect of irrigation methods and tillage system, seed level on water use efficiency and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth

Afield trial was conducted at Al- Hashimya area, Babylon district, Iraq during the growing seasons 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 to investigate the effect of some agronomic practices viz. irrigation system ( sprinkler irrigation (I1) and surface irrigation (I2) which occupied the main plots; tillage system (Zero tillage (T0), minimum tillage (T1) and deep tillage (T2) which occupied the subplot ); and seeding rates (120 Kg ha-1( S1), 180 Kg ha-1(S2),240 Kg ha-1 (S3)and 300 Kg ha-1 (S4) which occupied the sub _ subplots on biological yield, harvest index, water _use efficiency, water consumptive use, crop coefficient of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Results indicated that biological yield was increased in both seasons by 9 and 10%, respectively, following the application of sprinkler irrigation. This may be due to the increased water _use efficiency by 29 and 32% in both seasons, respectively, as influenced by sprinkler irrigation. However, sprinkler irrigation did not affect the harvest index in both seasons. Similarly, minimum tillage increased the biological yield by 10.6,10.2,11.8 and 3.4 % over zero _ tillage and deep tillage in both seasons, respectively. However, the tillage system had no significant effect on the harvest index in both seasons. The seeding rate (240 Kg ha-1) increased the biological yield by 15.1 and 16.0 % over the lowest seeding rate (S1 120 Kg ha-1) with no significant effect on the harvest index in both seasons, respectively. The exciting result that the application of sprinkler irrigation (I1) decreased the consumptive use mm. Season in both seasons and consequently the crop coefficient(Kc) was decreased at tillering, elongation, flowering and maturity stages in both seasons. It can be concluded that the application of sprinkler irrigation under the minimum tillage and using the seeding rate 240 Kg ha-1 has increased the biological yield via increased water – use efficiency and decreased both consumptive use and crop coefficient

Study ABO / Rh Systems with IL-18 & IL-33 in Iraqi Patients with Diabetes Mellitus Type II

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic disorder disease. The inflammatory markers act as a new risk factor for development of type 2 diabetes with a possible association with ABO/Rh blood groups. Human ABO genes are located on chromosome 9q34.1-q34.2. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible association between inflammatory markers, interleukin (IL) -18 and IL-33 in type 2DM and ABO blood groups. Sixty four patients with newly diagnosed type2 DM and control group consist of twenty healthy Iraqi individual. Laboratory test were include ABO blood groups using standard serological procedures and detection IL-18 and IL-33 in serum by ELISA kits. The Present data showed a significant increase in the serum level of IL-18 between type 2 DM patients and control, while there was no significant difference in the serum level of IL-33. At the same time both study blood groups O patients & control showed lowest level of serum IL-18, while blood group A with allele A showed less concentration of IL-33 in patients & control. Blood group O showed the highest percentage in patients & control, also Rh positive showed higher percentage. In conclusion, positive relation between IL-18 concentration and risk of type 2 DM, thus may be a predictor for newly diagnostic diabetic patient, while Serum levels of IL-33 might be a predictor marker of disease progression. No associations were found between ABO & Rh groups with type 2 DM

Experimental Study Of Natural Convection Heat Transfer In An Enclosed Vibration Cavity

Experimental study has been implemented to elucidate an affect of mechanical vibration at  normal gravity on natural convection in cubic enclosure  side (L=120mm) filled with air ( 14Pr=0.71)">  at two amount of heat flux (. The enclosure was comprised of two vertical and opposed surfaces. The right wall was heated at uniform heat flux where the left wall cooled was maintained at 14Tc"> , surrounded by four other adiabatic surfaces. Vibration stresses were applied to this heat transfer cell by mounting it vertically on the armature of electrodynamic vibratior. The experiments were carried out at for Rayleigh number range ( 147*107-4*108)"> and aspect ratio equal (1), frequencies from 2to 8 Hertz at 14q""> =85 14Wm2">  and from 3 to 9 Hertz at 946.017 14Wm2"> ). In the high Rayleih number case (Ra=4* 14108"> ), the gravitional thermal convection dominates, and the vibration motion does not enhances the heat transfer remarkably. In contrast, in low Rayleigh (Ra=7* 14107"> ), the vibration thermal convection is dominant, and the vibration enhaces the heat transfer rate significantly. In addition, the higher the vibration frequency is, the quicker the steady stateis reached and for two cases of Rayeigh number at ascending frequencies is in general higher than that descending frequencies.

Extraction of Phenolic Compounds from Wheat Bran using Ohmic Heating

Phenolic compounds have been extracted from Iraqi local wheat bran by using ohmic heating at temperature of 80 oC by using different values of the electric field intensity are 14, 20, 44 Vcm-1 and has been compared with the traditional method. The results showed that the required times to reach 80 oC were 6, 10, 20 and 30 min. at using electric field intensity of 14, 20, 44 Vcm-1 respectively. The electric field intensity had a significant effect on the electric resistance, electric conductivity, heating rate and power. Phenolic compounds quantity has been evaluated in extracts by using Folin-Ciocateau method, where the treatment extract (20 Vcm-1) was superior in content of phenolic compounds and anti-oxidative activity over the rest of treatments. The dialysis technology was used to fractionate the treatment extract (20 Vcm-1). It has been shown that compounds with low molecular weight compounds (less than 1000) are responsible for the anti-oxidation activity degree is greater than the high molecular weight (more than 1000). The treatment extract (20 Vcm-1) has proven its capability to hinder the self-oxidation of olive oil at the concentration of (0.25%) for a 25 day storage period.
