A note on convergence in Bergman spaces over bounded symmetric domains in C^N(N > 1)

In this paper we prove a result that generalizes the result of [7] on the unit disk to bounded star-shaped circular domains

Effect of Fines Content on the Cyclic Undrained Behavior of Sand

The influence of fines on the liquefaction potential of sandy soils has been studied by conducting isotropically consolidated stress controlled triaxial tests. Experimental results are compared with predictions using the theory developed by Nasser and Shokooh which is based on energy considerations. The theory determines the excess pore water pressure in terms of the number of cycles N, the dimensionless shear stress amplitude, and the initial and minimum values of the void ratio. The comparisons show good agreement between experimental data and model predictions for the pore water generation under cyclic loading for both loose and medium sands and medium silty soils

Relationship of Follicular Size with Dimensions of Genital System of Female Iraqi Buffaloes

أجريت الدراسة الحالية في قسم تقنيات الانتاج الحيواني/ الكلية التقنية - المسيب للمدة من اَذار 2014 الى اَذار 2015 لتقدير علاقة حجم الجريبة بأبعاد الجهاز التناسلي لأناث الجاموس المحلي. جُمع 120 جهازاً تناسلياً لاُناث جاموس البالغة وغير الحامل من مجازر محافظة بابل بعد الذبح مباشرة ، ونُقلت الى المختبر في ساعتين. شُرحت القناة التناسلية وعُزلت وقيست ابعاد الاعضاء المكونة لها. أُزيلت وجُمعت المبايض التي بلغ عددها 240 مبيضاً. قيست وقسمت الجريبات إلى ثلاث مجاميع صغيرة (2-5ملم) و متوسطة (6-10ملم) وكبيرة (11-20ملم). بينت نتائج الدراسة أن  شكل المبايض في العينات المدروسة كان بيضوياً (oval) وذا لون وردي باهت وتركيب قوي وناعم الملمس. لوحظ زيادة معنوية (P<0.05) بابعاد المبايض الأيمن والأيسر(الطول والعرض والسمك) للجهاز التناسلي التي تحتوي مبايضها على جريبات كبيرة ومتوسطة مقارنة مع المبايض التي تحتوي على الجريبات الصغيرة، وأوضحت النتائج زيادة معنوية (P<0.05) في طول قناة البيض اليمنى واليسرى للجهاز التناسلي التي تحتوي مبايضها على جريبات كبيرة ومتوسطة مقارنة مع المبايض التي تحتوي على الجريبات الصغيرة . بينت نتائج الدراسة أيضاًً أرتفاعاً معنوياً (P<0.05) في طول وقطر وعنق الرحم وجسمه ، وقرن الرحم الأيمن والأيسر للجهاز التناسلي التي تحتوي مبايضها على جريبات كبيرة ومتوسطة مقارنة مع المبايض التي تحتوي على الجريبات الصغيرة. نستنتج من هذه الدراسة أن التغير بحجم الجريبة من الصغيرة إلى الكبيرة في المبيض له تأثير معنوي في أبعاد الجهاز التناسلي لأناث الجاموس المحلي.    The present study has been conducted at laboratories of department of animal production techniques, AI-Musaib Technical College during the period extended from march 2014 to march 2015 to determine relationship of follicular size with dimensions of genital system of female Iraqi buffaloes. One hundred and twenty genital system of adults non- pregnant buffaloes slaughtered at abattoirs of Babylon province were collected at the time of slaughter and transported to the laboratory within 2 hours. The. A total of 240 ovaries were removed and collected. The diameter of the ovarian follicles were measured, divided into three categories, small (2-5 mm), medium (6-10 mm) and large (11-20 mm) . The results showed that the ovaries in local buffaloes appear as oval , light pinkish , firmed consistency and smooth. A significant increased (P <0.05) in the dimensions of right and left ovaries ( length, width and thickness) in the genital system which their ovaries contained large and medium follicles compared with that contained small follicles.  A significant increased (P <0.05) was observed in length of right and left of ovarian tube in the genital system which their ovaries contained large and medium follicles compared with that contained small follicles. The result of study also showed that significant increased (P <0.05) in length and diameters of body and cervix of uterus and right and left of uterine horns in the genital system which their ovaries contained large and medium follicles compared with that contained small follicles.  We conclude from this study that changing the size of follicle from small to large has a significant effect on the dimensions of the genital system of females Iraqi buffaloes

Effect of Soil Treatment on the Dynamic Response of Machine Foundations

Improvement of foundation soils using existing treatment techniques such as chemical, compaction and jet grouting can significantly enhance the general load bearing capacity of foundations. This paper describes the effect of soil treatment on the dynamic response of a rigid foundation subjected to steady-state, lCM-amplitude high-frequency vibrations, such as those encountered in machine foundation problems. Dynamic finite element analysis were performed to evaluate the effect of soil treatment as a function of treatment type and geometry. The treatment of foundation soil significantly reduced the amplitude of vibration of the foundation with the reduction being highly dependent on the type and geometry (i.e., width and depth) of the treated zone

An evaluation of preoperative CA 15-3 measurement in primary breast carcinoma.

In this study of 500 patients with breast carcinoma, we have prospectively assessed the role of preoperative CA 15-3 as a marker of disease burden over a 7 year period. CA 15-3 levels at presentation correlate with stage of disease, tumour size, lymph node status, the presence of metastases and lymphocyte infiltration into the tumour. CA 15-3 alone is not an independent prognostic indicator, although a serum level of > 40 U ml-1 has a positive predictive value of 83% for the presence of advanced disease. We recommend the routine use of this marker in the preoperative assessment of primary breast carcinoma
