Abstract: يعرف التماثل بانه العملية التي يؤثر فيها صوت معين على الاصوات المجاورة له في كلمه اخرى. ويعد الكلام الاعتيادي في اللغة الانكليزية كسائر اللغات الاخرى مجرى مترابطا من الاصوات ومن دون اي فواصل بين كلمة واخرى ولهذا نجد بعض الاصوات تؤثر في الاصوات المجاورة لها كما هو في التماثل لذلك يعد الكلام المترابط والسريع في اللغة الانكليزية من المشاكل كثيرة الشيوع التي يعاني منها متعلمو هذه اللغة وفي مراحل متقدمة من دراستهم للغة الانكليزية بوصفها لغة اجنبيه وللتحقق من هذه المشكلة اجريت هذه الدراسة لغرض استقصاء وعي الطلبة العراقيين في المستوى الجامعي في تمييز التماثل بوصفه ظاهره تحدث في الكلام السريع في اللغة الانكليزية ولا سيما لتقصي قابليتهم في تمييز الاصوات الثلاثة المتطلبة في عملية التماثل وهي الصوت المؤثر والمتاثر والناتج لانها عادة تدرس باستعمال الكلام الواضح والبطيء للغة الانكليزية.تقسم هذه الدراسة الى جزئيين رئيسين وهما الجانب النظري الذي يضم مشكلة البحث واهدافه وحدوده والمسائل المتعلقة بالتماثل مع عرض لبعض الدراسات المرتبطة بهذا الموضوع, على حين ضم الجانب العملي تجربة البحث والتحليل الاحصائي والنتائج التي توصلت اليها الباحثة . وقد اشارت النتائج الى ان نسبة تمييز الطلبة للصوت الناتج من عملية التماثل تفوق نسبة تمييزهم للصوتين المؤثر والمتاثر فضلا عن قدرة االطلبه على تمييز الاصوات الثلاثة في العبارات القصيرة بصوره اسهل مما هو عليه في العبارات الطويلة وقد ازدادت قدرة تمييزهم لتلك الاصوات في العبارات المالوفة وفي ضوء تلك النتائج اثبتت الفرضيات الثلاث للدراسة ، وانتهت الدراسة ببعض التوصيات والمقترحات لدراسات اخرى. | Assimilation usually refers to contextual variability of speech sounds which is said to be caused by the influence of one sound upon another. Casual spoken English, like any language is a continuous stream of sounds without a clear cut of boundaries between words and this causes some segments to have a strong effect on the other ones which are close to them as in the case of assimilation. Thus , ordinary English speech rate seems to be very fast for non - native English learners who often suffer from this even at an advanced level. For that reason they must be made very clearly aware of the problem of assimilation that they meet in listening to colloquial English connected speech. Hence, Iraqi learners of English in general seem to have difficulty in perceiving assimilation and in order to validate this view the current study was conducted. The present study investigates the subjects' awareness of this aspect of English casual speech since they are usually taught by using slow careful educational speech. This study attempts to check the ability of advanced Iraqi learners in recognizing the assimilatory ,the assimilated ,and the resultant sounds; these three sounds are involved in the process of English assimilation. It is divided into two main parts : the theoretical part presents the preliminaries of the study, the issues related to assimilation, and a review of the related studies. The practical part, on the other hand, illustrates the experimentation conducted, the statistical analysis carried out , and most importantly the conclusions of the study. The results of the study showed that the subjects recognized the resultant sound better than the other two sounds, and this is because of the subjects' reliance on their perception rather than their dependence on the visual form. Moreover , they recognized the three sounds involved in the process of assimilation in short phrases better than in long phrases . This suggests that they easily perceive the short phrases , and finally their ability of recognition increases when the expressions were familiar to them. The results of the statistical analysis provided a strong confirmation for the three hypotheses presented in chapter one

Abstract: Tilapia (Oreochromis aureus) was used to investigate the effect of salinity on Osmoregulation and growth. One hundred ninety fish were collected from Al - Sweeb River / Qurna. Acclimation on laboratory conditions was done for 24 days. The abrupt salinity transfer experiment was done using the following salinities : 1.5, 5,10,15,20,25 and 30 g/l during 96 h. Survival rate was calculated and reached to 90% in salinity 20 g/l , while it decrease to 0% in salinity 25 g/l. LC50 was calculated and was 20.44 g/l. Gradual salinity increase was conducted and was shown that survival rate increased to 80% in salinity 30 g/l, while it was 0% in salinity 35 g/l. Growth experiment was conducted for 120 days using the following salinities : 1.5, 5,12g/l. the results showed that food intake decrease to 18%, 37%, 43% with increasing salinity to 5, 12 and 20 g/l (respectively) comparing with the control. The role of gut and muscles in water and ionic regulation, chloride cell aggregation in gills and operculum, oxygen consumption rate, energy usage was also studied during salinity acclimation.The results showed that water content decreased in the muscles to 80.1%, 79.58% during salinity increasing to 5 and 12g/l (respectively) comparing with the control. While the water content in the gut increased to 90.4% and 91.44% with increasing salinity to 5 and 12 g/l (respectively) comparing with the control (83.05%). Ionic content also affected with increasing salinity to 5 and 12 g/l , as Na+ concentration in the muscles increased to 30.33, 38.18 m Mol /kg tissue water (respectively) comparing with the control (19.14 m Mol/kg tissue water). While in the gut, Na+ increased to 34.02 and 42.26 m Mol/kg tissue water (respectively) comparing with the control (18.04 m Mol/kg tissue water). K+ concentration in the muscles also increased to 59.23 and 60.23 m Mol/kg tissue water when salinity increased to 5 and 12 g/l (respectively) comparing with the control (49.3 m Mol/kg tissue water). While in the gut ,K+ concentration increased to 68.61 m Mol/kg tissue water with increasing salinity to 5 g/l and decreased to 57.30 m Mol/kg tissue water in salinity 12 g/l ,comparing with the control.bWith increasing salinity, the percentage of chloride cells in the gill epithelia increased to 7.5% and 9.39% with increasing salinity to 5 and 12 g/l (respectively) comparing with the control (5.7%). In the Opercular epithelia the percentage of chloride cells also increased to 3.33% and 4.04% with increasing salinity to 5 and 12g/l (respectively) comparing with the control (3.07%).After 24 hours of salinity increasing to 5, 12 and 20 g/l, the rate and percentage of oxygen consumption increase to 267.71 mg/kg/h (17%), 306.38 mg/kg/h (34%) and 404.21 mg/kg/h (77%) (Respectively), comparing with the control (228.57 mg/kg/l). The increase in oxygen consumption rate was coincide with increasing in the rate and percentage of energy usage to 0.90 Kcal/kg/h (16%), 1.03 kcal/kg/h (33%) and 1.36 Kcal/kg/h (77%) with increasing salinity to 5, 12 and 20 g/l (respectively) comparing with the control (0.77 Kcal/kg/h).Food intake after four days of increasing salinity decreased to 2.27, 1.73 and 1.58 g/100 g fish when salinity increase to 5, 12 and 20 g/l, comparing with the control (2.76 g/ 100 g fish ).The results of the growth experiment after 120 days of transfer to higher salinities (5 and 12 g/l) showed that the growth rate was affected largely with salinity and temperature, as the weight of fish declined during the first 10 weeks when water temperature was ranged between 24 - 30o c , while significant increase in fish weight was recorded with increasing water temperature to above 30o c.The results of chemical compositions of the whole body at the end of the growth experiment showed a decrease in the fat and protein content with increasing salinity. This may be explained as the fish depend on body storage of protein and fat as

Abstract: انجزت دراسة بيئية وحياتية على اساس شهري للمدة من كانون الاول 2013 الى تشرين الثاني 2014. وتهدف لدراسة العادات الغذائية لثلاثة انواع من الاسماك متواجدة في القاطع الجنوبي من نهر الفرات وهي الجري Silurus triostegusوالشلك Aspius (Leuciscus) vorax والحمري Barbus (Carassobarbus) luteus عند منطقة المدينة ضمن خط عرض"53 .41 ′57°30 شمال "18.81′°47 عرضا. لمعرفة مدى تاثير بعض العوامل البيئية اللاحياتية على هذه الخاصية الحياتية المهمة. واعتمدت ثلاث طرق لتحليل مكونات الغذاء المتناول من قبل الانواع الثلاثة وهي الطريقة الحجمية volumetric والطريقة العددية numerical وطريقة تكرار الوجودfrequency of occurrence. وكانت اعلى قيمة لدرجة حرارة الماء 33م˚ واوطئها 10.5م˚ اما قيم نفاذ الضوء فتباينت اذ كانت اعلى القيم 67 سم وادناها 15 سم. وكانت اعلى القيم للاس الهيدروجيني 8.6 وادناها 7.7. وتراوحت الملوحة بين1.4 و2.8 جزء بالالف. وحسب التوزيع التكراري للاطوال والاوزان للمصيد لانواع الدراسة الثلاث وحسبت نسب المساهمة الشهرية للانواع والاحجام. اذ اصطيد اصغر فرد لسمكة الجري بطول كلي 340 ملم ووزن كلي 238غم في شباط واب وتشرين الاول. واكبر فرد في تموز وكان طوله الكلي850 ملم ووزنه 3675غم. واستحصلت اصغر سمكة شلك في حزيران وكان طولها الكلي 110ملم ووزنها الكلي8 غم واكبر سمكة455 ملم اصطيدت في كانون الثاني وكان وزنها 1064غم. واستحصل اصغر فرد من سمكة الحمري في نيسان بطول 65 ملم ووزنه 5غم واصطيد اكبر فرد (280 ملم) في تموز ووزنه257غم. حسبت التغيرات الشهرية في نشاط التغذية وشدة التغذية لانواع الدراسة وكانت اعلاها خلال اشهر الربيع والصيف وادناها في اشهر الشتاء اذ كان اعلى نشاط في ( ايار) للجري والشلك اما للحمري فكان في نيسان وايار وحزيران. وكانت اعلى درجة لشدة التغذية في حزيران للجري والشلك اما للحمري فسجلت في تشرين الاول. وسجلت اعلى النسب للمعد الفارغة في اشهر الشتاء وادناها في الصيف والربيع. اذ وجد ان هناك علاقة طردية بين درجات حرارة الماء ودليل الامتلاء ونشاط التغذية للانواع الثلاثة. واظهرت النتائج استمرار الانواع في التغذي على مدار العام بالرغم من تدني كمياتها مع انخفاض درجات الحرارة. وحللت محتويات المعد باستخدام طرق التحليل الثلاث الحجمية والعددية وتكرار الوجود ولتجاوز مساوئ كل طريقة تحليل اعتمد دليل الاهمية النسبي للغذاء المتناول للانواع الثلاثة فكانت الاسماك هي الاعلى اهمية في غذاء الجري فتراوحت نسبها بين 97 - 100% تلتها القشريات والنباتات المائية. وجاءت الاسماك بالمقدمة كذلك في غذاء الشلك فتراوحت نسبها بين 74.9 - 99.6% تلتها القشريات والحشرات، اما النواعم فكانت ضئيلة الاهمية. وكانت النباتات هي الاكثر اهمية في غذاء الحمري (49.3 - 99%), جاءت بعدها القشريات والحشرات المائية ( 0 - 20.2%)، تلتها النواعم (0 - 16.3%), والاسماك (0 - 10.1%)، والطحالب (0 - 5.7%). واظهرت النتائج ان سمكة الجري مفترسة تتغذى بشكل رئيس على الاسماك والقشريات. اما الشلك كان لحمي التغذية لكنه اكثر تنوع في المحتويات الغذائية اذ احتوت القناة الهضمية على الاسماك والقشريات والنواعم والحشرات المائية. واستنتجت الدراسة ان اسماك الحمري قارته اعتمدت في غذائها على ست مكونات غذائية وجاءت النباتات المائية بالمقدمة تلتها باقي المكونات من طحالب وحشرات مائية وقشريات ونواعم واسماك لكنها تميل بالاساس الى الغذاء النباتي اكثر من ذو المصدر الحيواني. وتناولت الدراسة اختلاف طبيعة التغذية في الاحجام المختلفة من انواع الدراسة وانتخب حجمين للجري اكثر من 450 ملم ودون 450 ملم وحجمين للشلك والحمري اكثر من 200 ملم ودون 200 ملم. اظهرت النتائج تباين طفيف بين المكونات الغذائية للاحجام المختلفة لانواع الاسماك الثلاث خلال اشهر الدراسة. وبينت الدراسة وجود تداخل غذائي بين نوعي الاسماك لحمية التغذية (الجري والشلك) اذ بلغ (0.88). وكان التداخل الغذائي ضعيف ومتماثل بين اسماك الجري والحمري(0.2) واسماك الشلك والحمري( 0.2). | An ecolo - biological study was accomplished on a monthly basis for the period from December 2013 to November 2014. It aims to study the food habits of three fish species coexisting in the southern sector of the Euphrates River, namely the cat fish (jerry) Siluru striostegus, cyprind fishes (shilling) Aspius vorax and (himri) Barbus luteus within an area at Mudayna district situated between the latitude of " 53 . 41 '57 ° 30 North " and 18.81' ° 47 south . The study aimed to find out the extent of the impact of some abiotic environmental factors on this vital biological aspect . Three analytical methods was adopted to analyze food components ingested by the three investigated species, i.e. volumetric, numerical and frequency of occurrence methods.The highest value of water temperature was 33˚ C and the lowest ( 10.5 c˚ ). Light penetration varied among periods as the highest of 67 cm and a minimum of 15 cm . The highest pH value was 8.6 and the lowest 7.7 . Salinity ranged between 1.4 and 2.8 ppt . Lengths and weights frequency distributions of the catch of the three investigated species were also their calculated and monthly contribution of species and sizes were calculated. The youngest individual of jerry was of 340 mm total length (T.L) and a total weight (T.W) of 238g collected in February, August and October.The largest encountered in July with total length of 850 mm and a weight of 3675 g.The smallest shillig specimens was obtained in June of 110 mm T.L and of 8 g T.W. and the biggest of 455 mmT.L collected in January and was weighing 1064 g . The youngest member of himri ( 65 mm, 5 g) encountered in April, while the largest ( 280 mm, 257 g) collected in July . monthly changes in feeding activity and feeding intensity of the studied species were calculated, the highest recorded during the spring and summer months and the lowest in the winter. The highest activity, however, was in May for jerry and shillig, whereas for himri was in April, May and June . The highest degree of food intensity for jerry was in June and in October for shillig and himri.The highest percentages of empty stomachs was recorded in the winter months and the lowest in summer and spring. It was found that there is a correlation between water temperatures (jerry : r=0.301, shilling : r=0.111, himri : r=0.397) and fullness index and feeding activity of the three species. Results showed the continuation of the species in feeding throughout the year in spite of the decline in the food quantity with low temperatures. Stomachs contents were investigated by using the three methods of analyses. volumetric, numerical and the frequency of occurrence in order to overcome the disadvantages of each method. Index of relative importance was adopted to calculate the relative importance of each food item of the three species. Fish were of the highest importance food item in the diet of jerry which ranged between (97 - 100%) and followed by crustaceans and aquatic plants. Fishes also came first in shilling diet ranged between 74.9 - 99.6% followed by crustaceans and insects, while mollusca was insignificant in the diet.Aquatic plants were of the most importance in himri diet (49.3 - 99%) followed by crustaceans and aquatic insects (18 - 20 %) mollusca (0 - 16.3%) fish (0 - 10.1%) and algae (0 - 5.7%) . Results showed that jerry was a predator feeding mainly on fish and crustaceans. whereas shillig was carnivore but it's diet was more diverse as its alimentary canal contained fish, crustaceans, aquatic insects mollusca. The study also concluded that himri was omnivore as relied on six food components where aquatic plants came first, followed by the rest of the categories, namely algae, aquatic insects, crustaceans, fish and molluscs, but they tend mainly to consume vegetation more than diet of animal source.The study also examined the difference in food habits nature of various sizes of the studied species.Two sizes were elected for jerry i.e. of more than 450 mm and less than 450 mm. Two sizes of shillig and himri were also chosen, namely more than 200 mm and below 200 mm . Results showed a slight discrepancy infood items among the different sizes of the investigated species of fish. The study showed diet overlap between the two carnivore species ( jerry and shillig ) , amounting to ( 0.88 ) . Diet overlap was low and symmetric between jerry and himri (0.2 ) on one hand and shillig and himri (0.2 )on the other

Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at a private field in AL - qurna site about (65) Km north of Basrah city during winter season of 2013 - 2014 in clay loam soil to study the effect of weed control methods grown in wheat fields on growth , yield characters and protein. by use three herbicides (Chevalier ,Topic and Lintur) and use two wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.) (IPA - 99 and Abu - Graib). The experiment included 12 treatment came from the combination between treatments weed control and wheat cultivars .A Split - plot was used in randomized complete block design with three replicates. the main plots included wheat cultivars , while Sub - plots included treatments control.Results of the study showed that the use of Chevalier herbicide led to a significant reduction of the Broad leaves weeds reached (9.81gm m2) compared to the untreated which gave highest ratio (61.69 gm m2), and gave best inhibition ratio of weeds Broad reached (83.96%), it also excelled in giving the highest ratio for each of the number of tillers (613.67 mˉ2) , number of spikes (551.30 mˉ2) , weight of 1000 seeds ( 33.42 gm ), seed yield ( 5.70 ton hˉ¹ ) and biological yield (15.81 ton hˉ¹ ). While )Topic+Lintur( treatment herbicide was superior in plant height (89.88 cm ) , flag leaf area ( 32.98 cm2 ), spike length ( 11.57 cm ), number of seeds per spike(60.33) , harvesting index (36.06) , protein content (14.13%) and protein yield (797.98 kgm hˉ¹). and led to reduction of the dry weight of Narrow leaves weeds reached (1.77 gm m2 ) compared to the untreated which gave highest ratio (12.11 gm m2) and gave best inhibition ratio of weeds Narrow reached (84.48%).Results showed a variance among cultivars in it's characteristics .As the Abu - Graib cultivar was superior in weeds competition and gave less dry weight of weeds Narrow leaves which were (4.02 gm2), gave less dry weight of weeds Broad leaves which were (22.87 gm2 ). and gave best ratio of plant height (90.57cm ), number of tillers (622.78 mˉ2), number of spikes (572.80 mˉ2) , weight of 1000 seeds ( 32.67 gm ), seed yield ( 5.56 ton hˉ¹) , biological yield (15.33 ton hˉ¹), harvesting index(36.18 %) and protein yield (721.78 kgm hˉ¹). Either IPA - 99 cultivar was superior in gave best ratio of flage leaf area (32.46 cm 2), spike length ( 11.44 cm ), number of seeds per spike (60.73) and protein content ( 13.55% ).AbstractBThere were an interaction between treatments control and wheat cultivars in all characteristics except the spike length , number of seeds per spike , protein content and protein yield . Results of the study showed that the use of the spray (Topic +Lintur) herbicides with Abu - Graib cultivar give the highest ratio of seed yield (6.10 ton hˉ¹) and protein yield (829.66 kgm hˉ¹)

Abstract: Investigation of the reproductive strategies of Arabian carpetshark Chiloscyllium arabicum (Gubanov, 1980) and Arabian whipray Himantura randalli (Last, Manjaji - Matsumoto et Moor, 2012) were conducted in Iraqi marine water from January, 2014 to December, 2014. A total of 365 Arabian carpetshark (200 female and 165 male) with total length ranged from 141 - 750 mm and 321 Arabian whipray (176 female and 145 male) with disk width ranged from 70 - 429 mm were cached. Trawling nets of Bahith Ship (owned by Marine Science Center) or other fishing boats were used to cached these fishes.Sex ratios of these fishes were investigated during study period. The cycle of gonad maturation was followed - up throughout the period of investigation by defining stages based on colour, shape and size of gonads. Fecundity was estimated and spawning period detected depending on gonado somatic index (GSI), hepato somatic index (HIS), histological study and sonar inspection.The length frequency distribution of Arabian carpetshark was dominated by group of 300 - 399 mm that appeared in all months except October. Smallest fish (142 mm, 20 g) was during October and biggest fish (750 mm, 1668.5 g) during June. The length - weight relationship was represented by the following equations : Male W= 0.000007 ×L 2.88Female W= 0.000005 × L 2.93 Both Sex W= 0.000006 × L 2.91Values of HSI was differ depending on the maturing conditions of males and females, where highest value (11.906) of HSI for females was recorded at October and lowest value (6.908) was recorded at June, while highest value (12.5) of HSI for males recorded at January and lowest value (9.14) recorded at March. There were negative correlation between oil ratioof liver and maturing condition of females, while in males this relation was not clear.Distinguishing of sex was carried out according to presence or absence of claspers. Smallest matured female was 421 ml in total length and 785.23 g in weight, while smallest matured male was 401 in total length and 693.14 in weight. Females were dominant on males during all months except February, August and November with equal sex ratio during March, while overall sex ratio was 1 : 1.26 toward females.The cycle of gonad maturation was divided into three stages : immature, maturing and mature for males and females. Linear relationship was found between total length (TL) and clasper length (x) and it was represented by following equation : TL=211.3479 + 0.013883 x X, with significant (P<0.05) correlation (r= 0.899) between them.The GSI values were different during study period, where highest values (8.84 and 7.93) for females recorded during April and May respectively and lowest value (0.73) during June, while highest value (6.74) for males recorded during March and lowest value (0.66) during May. Monthly differences in GSI especially for females refers that spawning period extended from May to June. This result supported by the results of frequency occurrence of germ cells. Results appeared that ovary of Arabian carpetshark contain 44 - 52 eggs with diameters between 22 - 48 mm. Depending on histological inspection of gonads, spermatocytes cells for males are divided into eight maturing stages, while spermatocytes cells for females into four maturing stages.Disk width (DW) frequency showed fife groups for Arabian whipray with dominant of 300 - 399 mm group that appeared in all months except October, while group of 200 - 299 mm was appeared in all months. Group of0 - 99 mm appeared in July and August, so it was concluded that reproduction occurred in July. Smallest fish (70 mm, 20 g) was cached during July and biggest fish (490 mm, 3834 g) was cached during June. Relationships between disk width and weight were as follow : Male W= 0.00031 x DW2.59 Female W= 0.0031 x DW2.31 Both Sex W= 0.0006 x W2.4HSI differed according to maturing conditions of males and females, where highest value (11.85) for females recorded during January and lowest value (6.04) recorded during June, while highest value (11.66) for males recorded during November and lowest value (7.48) recorded at March. There were negative correlations between gonad weight and liver weight of females and also between oil ratio of liver and maturing condition of females.Smallest matured female was 115 ml in disk width and 1936 g in weight, while smallest matured male was 355 in disk width and 1249 g in weight. Sex ratio was differ from the ratio of 1 : 1 during different months and at reproduction period the ratio of females was 64.5% and of males 35.5%, while the ratio was 50% for each sex after reproduction period at August. Females were dominant on males during all months except September and December and overall sex ratio was 1 : 1.26 toward females.Maturing cycle were divided into three stages : immature, maturing and mature for males and females. For males the dividing depending on morphological characteristics (length, size and colour) of claspers. Linear relationship was found between disk width and clasper length (x) and it was represented by following equation : DW=92.4133 +0.2233 x X .GSI showed differences throughout study period for both sexes. The highest value (8.63) for females recorded during June and lowest value (0.81) during July, while highest value (7.59) for males recorded duringJanuary and lowest value (0.97) during March. It was concluded, according to GSI especially for females, that birthing occurred between June and July.Number of eggs in the Arabian whipray ovary was ranged between 10 - 35 eggs and diameters between 5 - 28 mm, while the uterus contain 2 - 5 embryos that surrounded by strong covers and there wasn’t any placenta intelligence between embryos and female, so this fish considered as Ovoviviparous. Depending on histological inspections of gonads, spermatocytes were divided into seven maturing stages, while oocytes into four maturing stages.

Abstract: This study is conducted in the field of the college of agriculture / Basrah university site / Karmat Ali during spring season of 2015 where the soil texture of the field is clay and classified as a fine mixed , calcareous , hyberthermic , typic , torrifluvent .The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of irrigation water treatment and their interaction with soil conditioners application by using drip irrigation system on some physical and chemical properties of the soil and water use efficiency and its impact on some growth parameters and productivity of maize crop ( fital varity, Holland origin,(Zea mays L.).Two factors are used : four different irrigation waters and two types of soil conditioners . Irrigation water treatments included four ones : high saline water (7.5 - 8.0 dS m - 1) , mixing water ( 4.5 - 5 dS m - 1) , alternative water ( irrigation with high saline water followed by low saline one ) during the period of growth season and low saline water( 3.5 - 4.0 dSm - 1 ) . Irrigation process is applied according to evaporation pan ( class A) measurements with addition to 20% of water as leaching requirements . As to the second factor , it consists of two conditioners : compost and polymer where the first one is at two levels 1% , 2% and the second one is at two levels 0.01% , 0.02% in addition to control treatment .The experiment treatments are distributed into three replicates by using factorial experiment conducted in a randomized complete block design ( RCBD ). The planting is achieved in 20/03/2015 . At the end of the experiment are collected soil samples from the experiment location for studying some physical and chemical properties of studied soil for the depth 0 - 10 cm , 10 - 20 cm , 20 - 30 cm and a distance 0,15,30 cm from the emitter . During the experiment are used piezometers connected to the water supply pipe of each experimental unit together with water gauges for measuring water discharge in each irrigation period . And the results are as follows : 1.The results showed a significant decrease in the values of bulk density soil resistance for penetration whereas there is an increase in mean weight diameter by using low saline irrigation water , alternative waterBhigh saline irrigation water followed by low saline irrigation one ) , and mixing water in contract with high saline irrigation water. While concerning the impact of soil conditioners on the soil properties above , where the use of the compost at two levels 1% , 2% and polymer at 0.01% , 0.02% lead to significant decrease the values of bulk densityand soil resistance for penetration but there is an increase in mean weight diameter value .2. The results showed that there is an increase in the values of saturated hydraulic conductivity , accumulative infiltration , infiltration average and basic infiltration average by application compost and polymer in the studied levels , whereas usage high saline irrigation water leads to a reduction in these values above. But application alternative , mixing , and low saline irrigation water lead to an increase in all soil properties as mentioned above respectively as contrast with usage high saline irrigation water.3. The results revealed that a higher weight moisture content was close to the emitters and is decreased far away from emitters horizontally and vertically for all treatments . On the other hand , the moisture content increases by application compost at 1% , 2% and polymer at 0.01% . 0.02% where was as an average 29.83% , 31.43% , 28.76% , 29.22% respectively .Through this context , moisture content decreases significantly by application low saline irrigation water and increases significantly by the use of alternative , mixing , and high saline irrigation water where was as an average 27.48% , 28.76% , 30.06% , 31.04% respectively .4. The results showed that addition of the compost as a conditioner at 1% , 2% levels and the polymer at 0.01% , 0.02% ones leads to decrease in the values of soil salinity close to the emitters in contrast with control treatment where they were 6.49 , 5.86 , 7.13 , 6.80 dSm - 1 respectively. In addition , the results showed that there is a higher salt accumulation on usage high saline irrigation water where was7.84 dSm - 1 as contrast with mixing , alternative , and low saline irrigation water were they were 7.07 , 6.58 , 5.83 dSm - 1 respectively.5. The results revealed that there is a significant increase of the plant height of maize , fresh weight , dry weight , and the productivity by application compost and polymer with the increase of their levels . More growth parameters as mentioned above increased by usage mixing , alternative , andClow saline irrigation water as contrast with application of high saline irrigation water respectively .6.The results showed that there is a significant increase of water use efficiency values of the plant by application compost at two levels 1% , 2% and polymer at 0.01% , 0.02% where the values were 0.81, 0.88 , 0.71 , 0.75 Kg ha - 1 m - 3 respectively. However, water use efficiency values increased significantly by usage mixing , alternative and low saline water treatment where they were 0.74 , 0.80 , 0.85 Kg ha - 1 m - 3 respectively as contrast with high saline irrigation water treatment where it was 0.66 Kg ha - 1 m - 3 . In short the higher water use efficiency was on low saline irrigation water treatment, whereas the lower value was on application high saline irrigation water one .7.The results revealed that there is a possibility for the application of alternative irrigation ( by using high saline water followed by low saline water ) , taking into consideration the usage of compost 2% without any great effect on physical and chemical soil properties and plant growth with save 50% of low saline water .8.The results showed that there is a possibility for representing water infiltration results as an accumulative infiltration and infiltration average according to Philip's equation ,( 1957) with high significant limiting factor and determining the values of Philip's equation constants . In this context , the results showed that water infiltration increased with the rising of conditioner level and decreased with the low conditioner one .

Abstract: Solar essential oil extraction apparatus has been designed and manufactured to extract aromatic oils. The device operates by solar energy and consists of two units. The first is steam production unit, which is a solar collector provided with pipes and covers an area of 1.566 square meters. The second is extraction unit, which is a stainless steel cylinder, the height of which is 0.320m and its diameter is 0.105m. In addition to these two units, the device is fitted with a glass steam condenser and a separation unit to separate the aromatic oil from the condensing water. The device also contains a balance tank.The solar collector is directed towards the south with an inclination of 30˚ and the testing data of the solar collector were gathered for the period from February to June 2014. Daily tests are conducted from 9 : 00am to 3 : 00pm. The solar radiation energy and temperature of the weather, absorbing plant and the incoming and outgoing steam of the extraction unit along with the temperature of the botanical parts are measured. Calculations are done for the practical and theoretical effeciency of the solar collector and for the proportions of the oil yield for every plant.The study uses some plants such as;clove buds, cinnamon barks, orange and lemon , eucalyptus leaves and cardamom seeds to extract their aromatic oils using this method, which is called Solar Distillation (SOD). In addition, another common extraction method is used, which is Hydrou Distillation (HD) to extract the aromatic oils from the plants under study for the purposes of comparison. The study included the evaluation of the chemical compounds of the aromatic oils using GC - MC technology; along with conducting chemical tests and check - ups for the physical properties and also included the evaluation of peroxideBvalue and the possibility to use these aromatic oils in some food systems. A feasibility study for the device is included too.The study shows an increase in solar radiation energy while the day hours go onward, and reaches its highest degree at midday then decreased. The average of solar radiation energy reached 902.66 W/m2 . This was recorded midday in June 2014. The results of the study reveal that the highest average for solar radiation energy is 1044 W/m2. However the lowest is 682 W/m2 and is recorded at 3 : 00pm in February 2014. The results showed an increase in the practical effeciency in summer months (April, May and June) more than in winter months (February and March). The highest average of the practical effeciency reaches 37.96% recorded at midday in June; whereas for the theoretical capacity is 44.78% recorded at midday in March. The results showed that the average of temperature of the absorbing plant has increased gradually till it reaches the highest degrees at midday then decreased till it reaches the lowest degrees at 3 : 00pm and the highest averages were recorded in June and reached 101.8C°. The highest and lowest averages of temperature of the steam produced from the solar collector were recorded in June and February and reached 96.84C° and 90.4C° at 12 : 00pm and 3 : 00pm respectively.The percentage of the extracted aromatic oils using Solar Distillation (SOD) method from the plants under study reaches 15.6, 3.6, 0.9, 1.0, 3.2, 4.4% however for those extracted using (HD) method, the percentage reaches 13.4, 3.3, 1.0, 1.1, 3.4, 4.1% respectively. Qualitative tests of the aromatic oils extracted using the above mentioned procedure show that they contain compounds of aldehyde, Ketone, terpines, steroides, phenolics, and was void of alkaloid, resins, saponines, flavones, glycosides, tannins, carbohydrates, peptides, and proteins. Peroxide value change for the aromatic oils was slight and reached 1mm equivalent during storage period which lasted for 60 days in aCtemperature 5 - 7c˚. It was observed from the analysis of aromatic oils extracted using SOD method in addition to GC - MS technology that the main compound of carnation, cinnamon, orange, lemon, eucalyptus and cardamom are; Eugonol, cinnamaldehyde, D - Limonene, D - Limonene, beta - cymene and equaliptol in the following proportions; 78.19, 64.8, 62.97, 47.50, 24.17, 41.74% respectively. The results showed that the highest and lowest specific gravity average at 25C˚, recorded using SOD method are 1.0410 and 0.8322 for carnation and orange; whereas the highest and lowest specific gravity average at 25c˚, recorded using HD method are 1.0470 and 0.8336 for carnation and orange oils also and respectively. The results also showed that the majority of the aromatic oils extracted using HD method have refractive index slightly higher than those extracted using SOD method. The highest refractive index is attained with carnation oil and reached 1.5322, while the lowest was with cardamom oil and reached 1.4614 under 20c. The Optical Rotation for orange oil is higher than other extracted oils and reached +98, +93 using SOD and HD; while the lowest is recorded with cinnamon oil and reached - 2, - 1 using the above mentioned methods respectively. All the extracted aromatic oils in both methods dissolve in ethanoic alcohol in different proportions. The degrees of dissolution for all of them are approximate with no much disparity between them. Aromatic oils entered the cake industry replacing vanilla. According to the results of the study no significant disparity related to the colour, substratum, or appearance is existed amongst cake types which contain aromatic oils and those void of them. However, there are some significant differences related to the taste and smell. As shown by the results, the cake that contain cardamom oil got the highest marks, followed by those containing lemon oil

Abstract: This study was conducted in order to purify glycomacropeptide from both whey goat and cow. Thereafter, The molecular properties of purified glycomacropeptide and its effects as antioxidant were studied. Furthermore, the ability of pasteurized milk, unpasteurized milk, and whey protein for each used milk were studied to measure their effects as antioxidants. The results were as follow : 1 - Glycomacropeptide protein was separated using TCA method and boiling temperature method with alcohol. The TCA method showed sufficient results by giving more production with high activity for isolated protein compared to temperature method with alcohol, thus TCA method was used in this study. Sephadex G - 25 was used to purify both whey goat and cow. After that, electrophoresis technique was assigned by using polyacrylamide gel in order to be sure about the purity of isolated protein (one band).2 - The percentage of carbohydrate, protein, sialic acid of glycomacropeptide from both whey goat and cow were 27.5%, 32 %, 19.9%, 25%, 12% and 17 %, respectively.3 - The molecular weight of glycomacropeptide protein was 27 kDa and 29 kDa for both cow milk and goat milk, respectively.4 - The ability of pasteurized milk, unpasteurized milk, and whey protein for each used milk were studied to measure their effects as antioxidants. The results were as follow : A : The antioxidant activity of glycomacropeptide protein from goat milk was more effective to prevent linoleic acid oxidation compared to cow milk, while whey protein had less antioxidant activity compared to glycomacropeptide.B : Glycomacropeptide protein exhibited high values of H2O2 scavenging activity. The scavenging activity was 92.145 % and 95.678 % at concentration 5 mg/ml compared to ascorbic acid and rutin, which were 76.955 % and 66.920%, respectively.C : The reducing power was 139.21 % and 96.13 % compared to others samples, while the reducing power was less than tocopherol and BHT, which were 195.8 % and 226.48 %, respectively.D : Glycomacropeptide protein exhibited higher ferric - reducing activity at 5 mg/ml, while ferric - reducing activities of goat and cow milk were 89.696 % and 98.269 % for EDTA and citric acid, respectively.E : The stability of Glycomacropeptide protein and whey protein was determined as antioxidants through controlling three variables (temperature, pH and synergistic factor). Glycomacropeptide protein of goat milk showed higher stability compared to the whey at 75 mg/ml in all used variablesF : Glycomacropeptide protein from goat and cow milk was added to stored fish oil at 0.04, 0.06 and 0.08 g/ g at 45 C for 50 days. The results revealed that the hydrogen peroxide and TBA were decreased using 0.08 g/g .

Abstract: Two agricultural experiments were conducted to study the role of silicon in reducing the effect of salinity of irrigation water and toxicity of some heavy metals (Cd,Mn, and Pb) and growth of maize plant ( Zea mays L. ). The first experiment was consists five levels of silicon ( 0 , 75 , 150 , 225 and 300 mg Si Kg - 1 soil ) as the form of potassium silicate ( K2SiO3 ) which was added with irrigation water prepared previously in four saline levels with electrical conductivity ( 2 , 4 , 6 and 8 dSm - 1 ) to field capacity level. These four levels of saline water were added to two different soils , Abu - Al khasib soil (silty clay loam) and Al - Zubeir soil ( loamy sand) soil .The experiment was conducted in plastic pots by using factorial experiment with three factors 2 × 5 × 4 (soils × silicon levels × irrigation water salinity levels ) with three replicates to be 120 units for all experiment . After two months of planting, the shoot and root of plant were collected and dry weight of each them was recorded. Silicon , nitrogen , phosphorus , potassium , calcium , magnesium and sodium concentration were measured, at the same the time uptake of these elements and potassium to sodium ratio were measured . leaf area , electrolyte leakage , and electrical conductivity ( EC ) of soil were measured after planting.In general and in most of them, the results pointed out that there was an increasing in all studied parameters with the increasing of silicon levels with statistical differences especially in the level 300 mg Si Kg - 1 soil where the percentage of this treatment was superior in contrast with control where was more than 209% of dry weight of shoot and nearly 200% of dry weight of root.The results indicated that Abul - Kaseeb soil was surpassed with most studied parameters significantly. There was a significant effects of salinity water in decreasing all plant parameters, while the bi and tri interactions treatments didn't reach significant effect for shoots and roots accept cadmium and magnesium concentration .Four levels of silicon ( 0 , 75 , 150 and 300 mg Si Kg - 1 soil ) with three heavy metals ( Cd , Mn and Pb ). Cadmium ( 0 , 5 , 10 , 15 mg Cd Kg - 1 soil ) , manganese ( 0 , 200 , 400 , 800 mg Mn Kg - 1 soil ) lead ( 0 , 200 , 400 , 600 mg Pb Kg - 1 soil ), in second agricultural experiment were used in pot experiment for Abu - Al khasib soil with complete randomized design of factorial experiment with two factors ( 4 × 4 ) ( silicon level × element level ) with three replicates to confirm 48 units for each element . After 60 days of planting , the plants wereharvested and collected for both shoot and root , dry weight of each of them were recorded . ( Si , Cd , Mn and Pb ) contention in shoot and root were measured. The results appeared that there was superior of dry weight, Si contention of root and shoot due to Si addition in contrast with the control in all studied treatments of heavy metals specially level 300 mg Si Kg - 1 soil . As well , addition heavy metals in its most lead to decreasing weight of shoot and root with statistical differences whereas this addition of heavy metals leads to increasing of plant concentration from them with significant levels. As regards twofold interaction effect , of addition Si with heavy metals on growth parameters was no statistical differences of most of treatments except interaction effect of ( Cd contention ) in Cd treatment , dry weight of Mn experiment , Si contention , Pb concentration in Pb experiment for both of shoot and root were significant differences .

Abstract: Field experiment was hold during the winter growing season (2015 - 2016) in Al - Qurna district located 80 km north of Basra city in clay - loam soil. The aim of this scenario was to study the effect of four levels of compound fertilizer with some of trace elements in the growth characteristics and yield quality for three cultivars of broad bean (Vicia faba L.). Split - plot was arranged in Randomized complete Block Design (R.C.B.D) with three replicates. The main plots had the first factor that was fertilizer (10 - 10 - 30) NPK levels (zero, 100, 200 and 300 kg NPK ha - 1), which its symbolized by (F0, F1, F2 & F3) respectively. Sub plots had the second factor (the cultivars), which they were Aquadeljy (Turkish), Wakwadolus (Holland) and Los De Aotono (Spanish), which its symbolized by (V1, V2 & V3) respectively. The results showed the V1 cultivar significantly superior in number of days from planting to the first flower appearance by (61.25 days), but the highest level of 100 seed weight (119.80 g) was recorded by V2 cultivar. On the other hand, V3 cultivar recorded the highest level of seed yield, biological yield, protein yield and protein percentage in which they was (3717, 7623, 1171.4 kg ha - 1 and 30.50%) respectively. The other characteristics (plant height, plant tillers, number of pods in plant, seeds number per pod, yield per plant and harvest index) was not significant among the cultivars. On the other hand, treatment F0 of fertilizer showed the significant affect in the days from planting to the appearance of the first flower (58.67 days), but the treatment F3 appeared the highest level of plant height, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, yield per plant, seeds yield, protein yield and protein percentage, which they was (82.2 cm, 10.10 pods plant - 1, 40.03 seed pod - 1, 47.2 g plant - 1, 4673 kg ha - 1, 1451.6 kg ha - 1 and 30.70 %) respectively. While the 100 seeds weight was recorded at the treatment F1, the other characteristics such as biological yield and harvest index did not affected by the fertilizer treatments . The combination among the treatments wassignificant just in number of pods in plant and protein percentage, whereas the combination of V3F3 gave the highest number of pods per plant (11.80 pod plant - 1) and protein percentage (32.7%) .
