Abstract: This work aims to study the details the nuclear structure of selected heavy nuclei 198 - 208Po ,200 - 210Rn, 218 - 228Ra, 218 - 218 - 228Th and 226 - 236U, due to the important of nuclear structure of these nuclei in applied nuclear physics. In this study two IBM version have been used, IBM - 1 and IBM - 2. The versions of model used to described the ground band, quizi - beta and quadruple reduced transition probability B(E2) for selected transition. Also, the IBM - 2 version has been used to calculate the magnetic reduce transition probability B(M1) and mixing ratio for group transition emitted from ground band, quazi - beta and quazi - gamma band . the mixed symmetry states and the effect of majorana parameters of the energy of these state have been studied extensively .the potential energy surface of each isotope has been produced as contour lines using the output of IBM - 1.From the result calculation it is found that there is an agreement between the available experimental data and the calculated results of both IBM - 1 and IBM - 2 . The agreement concerns the energies of ground band and less in the beta and gamma band for 198 - 208Po isotopes. Also we have agood agreement in values of B(E2) and B(M1) from the results of the two version. It is noticed that all the studied isotopes are belong to the vibrational U(5) limit.The result of 200 - 210Rn isotopes show closed to the vibrational U(5) moving toward the O(6) . the calculated values are very closed the experimental data for the positive parity states of the ground, beta and gamma bands with increasing of energy value near the closed shell.The variable position of 218 - 228Ra isotopes between the three limits of IBM - 1 ((SU(3), O(6), U(5)) ,where is; these isotopes moving towards rotational away from the closed shell . We notice the excellent agreement between calculated values and available experimental data for energy level and other nuclear properties. The value of E41/E21 for 218 - 228Th isotopes decreases with moving away from the closed shell, in the same time; the values of level energies decreases also. The agreement between the experimental and calculated values of energy level is very clear for energy level and B(E2) and B(M1) values.All studied 226 - 236U are belong to the rotational SU(3) limit and both versions of the model succeed in producing such limit and found agood agreement for all the bands specially the IBM - 2. It is found that the change in the Majorana parameter FS has an effect on the energy of the mixed symmetry state in studies isotopes . The B(E2) values also calculated and compared with experimental data.In the comparison between all the studied nuclei it is found that systematic of energy level of single nucleus and all isotopes it is found that the energy of the first excited state is different for such isotope and also the ratio of E41/E21 found to be moving toward rotational limit with increase of atomic number. In the present work we found that the ratio N/Z is always agree when we used different isotopes in the studied nuclei

Abstract: In this study, thin films of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) doped with Orange G , Safranin O , and Crystal Violet dyes , have been prepared by using casting method after dissolving the dyes with distilled water .The linear optical parameters of the prepared thin films such as absorption coefficient (α) , extinction coefficient (k) , refractive index (no) and energy gap (Eg) , in addition to Urbach tails (Eu) , both real (εr) and imaginary (εi) parts of the dielectric constant , optical conductivity (σopt) , and electrical conductivity (σele) have been studied. The non linear absorption coefficient (β), non linear refractive index (n2) and the susceptibility of the third order (χ3) have been studied too .It is found that the absorption spectra of the prepared thin films are characterized by a clear absorption peaks in the visible range of the light spectrum . For Orange G two absorption peaks were appeared at the wavelengths (325 nm) and (490 nm) , where as one absorption peak is observed for each of Safranin O , and Crystal Violet at the wavelength (540nm) and (600nm) respectively. It is worth noting that the different concentrations of the dyes have an obvious traces on the absorption intensities of the thin films , which may be related to the extended Urbach tails as a result of increased dye concentration and (π - π*) transition .The estimated energy gaps gave an indication that an indirect allowed electronic transition take place and it is inversely slightly affected by the concentration of the dyes.The non linear optical properties for the prepared thin films were studied using Z - scan technique . Three different cases in which the materials are ; thedye solution consist of the dye dissolved in distilled water , the dye solution mixed with the polymer , and the dye doped thin polymer film , were studied using continuous wavelength (532 nm) solid state semiconductor laser type (SDL - 532 - 100T) .The results indicated that the calculated (β) and (n2) increases as a results of increase in the concentration for all the three mentioned cases . Defocusing due to thermal distribution through the samples which were accompanied with a changes in non linear refractive index were shown , that is , the samples behave like a thermal lens that distort the phase of the propagated beam in it .The (I - V) characteristics for all thin films give an indication of Ohmic behavior and the DC electrical conductivity (σele) increases as the temperature increase . The activation energies (Ea) were found to be decrease at higher dyes concentrations .

Abstract: The research in this thesis is concerned with our extensive study of the spectral properties, the nonlinear optical properties, and the optical power limiting effect, for three organic dyes : Leishman, Giemsa, and Brilliant Cresyl Blue. Three different solvents were used to dissolve each dye : Chloroform, Ethanol, and Dimethyl(formamide) (DMF).We prepared dye solutions at four different concentrations : 0.03 mM, 0.05 mM, 0.07 mM, and 0.09 mM. Dye doped polymer films at concentration 0.09 mM were also prepared by mixing the dye with the polymer poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) which already dissolved in the chloroform and using the casting method to obtain the desired polymer films.The linear absorption spectra of the dye solutions and the dye doped polymer films for different concentrations were analyzed by using the double - beam spectrophotometer in order to find the spectral range for each dye .2Our study was focused mainly on the nonlinear optical properties of the dye solutions and the dye doped polymer films. We employed in this study the laser beam z - scan technique and the solid - state laser (SSL) operating with the continuous wave (CW) at wavelength 532 nm and with variable output power over the range 0 - 100 mW .We have also studied the effect of the laser beam intensity on the nonlinear optical parameters of the dye solutions prepared by dissolving each dye in the Dimethyl(formamide) (DMF) solvent. Two values for the laser beam intensity were used for irradiating the samples (The dye solutions), these are : 1.11 kW / cm2 and 2.22 kW / cm2.Our obtained results from the present study reveal that all solutions of the three dyes and the dye - doped polymer films have a negative value for the nonlinear refractive index (n2 < 0) (occurrence of the self - defocusing effect) and also a negative value for the nonlinear absorption coefficient (β < 0) (saturable absorption).The values of the nonlinear optical parameters for each dye were calculated, these parameters are : The nonlinear refractive index (n2), the nonlinear absorption coefficient (β), and the absolute value of the nonlinear optical susceptibility (|χ(3)|). The solvents effect on the values of these optical3parameters was studied, and we find that the solvent plays an important role on the variation of these values.We also studied the optical power limiting for the dye solutions and the polymer films by using the laser beam z - scan technique. Good optical power limiting properties were obtained. The values of the optical power limiting threshold for the dye solutions at different concentrations and also for the dye doped polymer films were determind. We note that the value of the optical power limiting threshold depends on the kind of the used solvent for dissolving the dye. The smallest value for the optical power limiting threshold is 6.7 mW for the Brilliant Cresyl Blue dye doped polymer in chloroform at concentration 0.09 mM, while the smallest value for the power limiting threshold for the Brilliant Cresyl Blue solution in the same solvent at concentration 0.09 mM is 7.8 mW. The value of the power limiting threshold depends the kind of the used dye or the kind of the used solvent in preparing the sample and also on the concentration of the dye.The results that we have obtained from our present study show that the three dyes, Leishman, Giemsa, and Brilliant Cresyl Blue exhibit large nonlinear optical effects, suggesting that they are good promising materials for applications in the nonlinear photonic devices, the optical power limiting, and other optical devices.

Abstract: In this study, Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin films are prepared by using Sol - Gel technique . The samples are prepared with different thicknesses (58,69,77)nm . Different weight ratio of Aqueous aluminum chloride (AlCl3.6H2O) are added to the Sol - Gel ZnOwith percentage (0.345%, 0.824% , 1.703% and 2.146%). These solutions are deposited by using spin coating on glass substrate .In order to investigate the sensitivity and the response of these samples for the detection about different vapors and gases (ethanol , methanol , acetone and nitrogen ) , pure and (AlCl3.6H2O) doped ZnO films are prepared by using the same technique but by adding Aluminum electrodes on these films with dimensions (2.5x0.5)cm2 .This preparing is followed by thermal treatment for these films by using oven with temperature reaches to 450 oC.The structure properties of these films are studied by using X - ray diffraction (XRD) and the results show that these films are polycrystalline and the calculated lattice constant are close to the standard values . The samples are analyses by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopic (FESEM) and the results show that the grain arrangement are regular and these structures are packed and the grain shape is as spherical . But for the AZO films , we notice that the increasing of the doping percentage reduces the gra in size .We also study the optical properties of these films such as Absorption (A) , Transmission (T) , Reflection (R) , Absorption coefficient (α) , extinction coefficient (k) , the energy gap(Eg) , refractive index (n) , with its complex and real dielectric constant( ) , dissipation factor (tanδ) , Optical Dispersion Parameters (Eo , Ed) and optical conductivity ( ) . The effect of the films thickness on the optical properties of the ZnO films for the over mentioned parameters . The results we get are discussed and compared with other studies . This work elucidates and analyzes the studying of the effect of adding (AlCl3 . 6H2O) o Zinc Oxide (ZnO) and the results are with standards agree with the results of many other researchers . The optical constant are tabulated and compared with , the results of other . And in order to determine the electronic transitions type , Absorption coefficient is calculated and it shows that ZnO and AZO films have transition of direct type because the values of α > 104 . The energy gap of the ZnO films with different thickness (58,69 and 77) nm is calculated , since it is found that the increasing of the film thickness gives slight increasing in the energy gap . The experimental results show that the increasing of doping percentagein ZnO film increases the energy gap with very little amount . In the electronic application field , the study also included design and fabrication of gas sensor system from local materials , which contain of chamber that made of plates polymer that contain of base for install the sample , electrodes to link the sample the measurement circuit , glass flask with three holes , heater , N2 gas cylinder , glass tubes , valves and the measurement circuit electric .The study also includes the ability of responding of the films for the thicknesses (58 , 69 and 77 )nm , to these gases , and it is found that the highest response was at vapor ethanol at the thickness 58nm. The effect of chloride Aluminum on the response of these percentage (0.345% , 0.824% , 1.703% , 2.146%) is studied for the mentioned gases , and it is found that the highest response we get is 45% at the concentration 2.146% for methanol gas . The results are tabulated , discussed and compared with precedent studies.

Abstract: موضوع الرسالة هو دراسة تاثير اهتزاز الجسر وتكوين البولارون الصغير على عملية انتقال الشحنة بين المانح والقابل في الانظمة الجسرية الجزيئية. ولهذا الغرض تعاملنا مع اقتران الكترون - فونون قوي. واستخدمنا لهذا الغرض معادلات الحركة لسعات الدوال الكمية للنظام الجسري مع معادلة نمط الاهتزاز الديناميكي الكلاسيكي للجسر. بخصوص التعامل مع تقريب الحالة المستقرة والتقريب الساكن تم اعطاء صيغة لحساب طاقة البولارون وتقدير تاثيرها على عملية انتقال الشحنة الديناميكية بين المانح والقابل وبارامترات النظام التي تؤثر فيها. اذ لاحظنا ان الصفة العامة في منحنيات احتماليات الملء يكون اعتمادها على طاقة الجسر المؤثرة |∆(u)| اذ بزيادتها تقل احتمالية ملء مستوى الجسر ويقل عدد التذبذبات. ان وصفنا عملية منح البولارون بواسطة نظرية البولارون الصغير طورت لوصف الترابط القوي بين الالكترون والاهتزاز ضمن مفهوم البولارون الصغير، اي ان كل جسر يمكن ان يتذبذب (شبه) غير معتمد على تذبذب جيرانه من الجسور، او كل موقع جزيئي يتذبذب غير معتمد على تذبذب موقع جزيئي اخر. فضلنا المعالجة العددية في حل المعادلات والابتعاد عن الحل المستقر وتم حل معادلة النمط الاهتزاز الكلاسيكي حلا تحليليا بحيث يكون تاثير ترابط الكترون - فونون واضحا من خلال جعل مستوى طاقة الجسر معتمد على الزمن ويكون مسيطرا على احتمالية ملء مستوى الجسر. كما ان تاثير مستويات الطاقة المستمرة للقطبين المعدنيين على كل من مستويي المانح والقابل قد اخذ بنظر الاعتبار. وكان واضحا ان احتماليات ملء المستويات تضمحل بمرور الزمن وتتضاءل سعات التذبذب في المنحنيات، وان احتمالية ملء مستوى القابل هي الاكثر تاثرا بزيادة التعريض في المستويات. وايضا لاحظنا ارتباط تصرف احتمالية ملء مستوي الجسر مع تصرف احتمالية ملء مستوى المانح وذلك لان مستوى المانح هو مصدر الالكترون لتكوين البولارون مع الجسر.V وطبقت الصيغ الرياضية على عملية انتقال الشحنة خلال جزيئة الـ DNA. اذ تعاملنا مع نظام جسري ذي جزيئة اساس واحدة ونظام جسري ذي جزيئتين من الجزيئات المتسلسلة خطيا من جزيئات الحامض النووي الـDNA. اذ لاحظنا وجود اختلاف بسيط في احتماليات ملء المستويات بوجود القاعدة G/C او القاعدة T/A، او بوجود قاعدتين جزيئيتين، اذ لاحظنا ان التصرف الهام في منحنى احتماليات الملء هو عند زيادة ترابط الكترون - فونون نلاحظ تاثير تصرف منحنى احتمالية ملء مستوى مصدر الالكترون (المانح) على تصرف منحنى احتمالية ملء مستوى الجسر الاول (القاعدة الجزيئية الاولى) التي تكون على ترابط مع المانح وذلك لحدوث تشكيل البولارون الاول. بينما يكون تصرف منحنى احتمالية ملء مستوى الجسر الثاني مع تلك للجسر الاول غير متطابق بالتصرف وذلك بسبب ضعف اصرة الترابط بينهما. ويكون تصرف احتمالية ملء القاعدة الجزيئية الثانية مترابطا مع تصرف منحنى احتمالية ملء مستوي القابل وذلك لشدة الاصرة بين مستوياتهما. | The subject of thesis is the effect of bridge vibration and small polaron formation on the electron transfer (ET) in D - B - A system. For this purpose, we dealt with strong electron - phonon coupling. And we used for this purpose the equations of motion for quantum amplitudes and the equation of classical - dynamical vibration mode of the bridge system. For the case of steady state approximation and static approximation we gave a formula to calculate the polaron energy and estimate its effect on the dynamical ET between the donor and accepter and the parameters involved. where we note that the general feature of the occupation probability curves are depend on the bridge effective energy |∆(u)|, when it increases, the occupation probability and the number of vibration decreases. The description of polaron hopping by the theory of small polaron was developed to describe the strong coupling between the electron and vibration within the concept of small polaron, i.e. every bridge vibrates (semi) independently from neighboring bridges. we preferred the numerical treatment in solving the equations and get away from the static solution, we solved the equation of classical - vibrational mode analytically such that the effect of electron - phonon coupling became obvious by putting the bridge state in a time - dependent form, and controlling the occupation probabilities of the bridge. The effects of the continuous energy levels of the metlic electrodes on the donor and acceptor states is taken into account. And it was obvious that the occupation probabilities of levels vanish in time and so as the amplitudes of vibration, and the most obvious effect of continuous levels of electrodes is on acceptor state, also we note that the behavior of the bridge state occupation probability is related with the occupation probability behavior of the donor state, since the donor state is the source of electron for polaron formation in bridge site.We applied the mathematical formulae on charge transfer through DNA molecule. Where we dealt with bridge system as a single base molecule or two liner consecutive molecules bases of DNA molecules. Where we note there is a small difference in occupation probabilities of G/C base or T/A base or between that of two bases. The important feature in occupation probabilities curves is that when electron - phonon coupling increases, we note that the effect of the occupation probability behavior curve for donor state on the occupation probability behavior curve of the first bridge which is connected with the donor because of the formation of the first polaron, while the behavior of the occupation probability of the second bridge and that of the first bridge is not coincide because of the weak interaction between them, but the occupation probability behavior of the second bridge state is related with that of the acceptor because of the strong interaction between them

Abstract: This study entails some of the theoretical characteristics of Bose - Einstein intensification of the ideal gas properties, since the wave function behavior has been studied and analysed according to the effect three types of external potentials trapping that are used in the production Bose - Einstein condensation which are (harmonic potential, optical lattice potential , and double well potential) that have been used as individual or overlapping potentials, and the value of the non - linear has been confirmed according to fixed values in the whole study in order to the study the effect of the other elements. The effect anisotropy AL has been studied according to the behavior of the wave function and the distribution potential where the harmonic potential has individually at first, than it has been overlapped with the optical lattice potential in order to study this factor. Furthermore,the effect of this factor has been explained due to the distribution potential, function wave and relation type between the factor itself, chemical potential and energy.

In addition to that, we have studied the influence of the center of double well potential coefficient A on the nature and behavior of the wave function and potential, and the nature of the relationship between this factor and chemical potential and energy. Noting the effect of these factors on the behavior of the wave function and the distribution of potential, therefore it has effect in Bose - Einstein condensation production.

Abstract: In this work, the dynamics of electron transport through a system consists of qubit (two coupled quantum dots) electrostatically coupled with single - electron transistor (quantum dot coupled to leads). The time - dependent Hamiltonian, that is used to describe the system energy, includes the electrostatic coupling between the qubit and the single - electron transistor. The time - dependent equations of motion for all the creation and annihilation operators are expressed in Heisenberg representation to derive the differential equations of motion for the quantum dots occupation numbers of the qubit and the single electron transistor, the related equations of motion for the correlation functions and also the formula that calculates the current which tunnels from the left lead to the single - electron transistor quantum dot. The system of equations of motion are treated by using the wide band approximation, and are solved numerically by using six order Runge - Kutta method, where the error is calculated at each step of time. By getting use of the system of differential equations solutions, the qubit and the single - electron transistor quantum dots occupation numbers are calculated as a function of time, in addition to the current that tunnels from the left lead to the single electron transistor quantum dot as a function of time.The main goal of this study in to investigate the effect of the parameters that related to the qubit and the single - electron transistor and their role in determing the electron transport process features through the whole system. These parameters, that are related to the initialization, manipulation and measurement processes, are the qubit and the single electron transistor quantum dots energy levels, the coupling strength between the qubit quantum dots, the electrostatic coupling between thequbit and the single electron transistor in addition to the coupling strength between the single - electron transistor quantum dot and the leads as well as the leads properties such as tempreture and band width. The effects of quantum dots energy levels tuning and the symmetry of the coupling with leads on the electron transport through the system are also investigated.Our study highlights four important physical features that related to the initialization, manipulation and measurement processes, these are : 1. The occupation numbers of the quantum dots of the qubit and the single electron transistor and the current of SET at the final time of measurement.2. The charge accumulation on the qubit quantum dots, at the final time of measurement, on the far - removed quantum dot and the nearest one to the single - electron transistor, that can be controlled by appling bias voltage and gate voltage.3. The determination of the time - current dependence if it follows the dependence of the far - removed or the nearest qubit quantum dot occupation number on time.4. The role of qubit energy levels tunning and the asymmetric coupling with the leads in determining the suitable initialization and manipulation processes get the quantum measurement with high quantum efficiency.

Abstract: This study aimed to verify the distribution of Periplaneta americana and Culex pipiens allergy and its association with some HLA class II alleles in asthmatic and allergic patients. 96 healthy (control ) and 96 suspected allergic individuals from the same geographical region ,paired by sex and age were included in this study. Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay test (ELISA) was used to estimate the total and specific IgE antibodies in the sera of studied individuals. The detection of the HLA - DQB1*0602, HLADQB1* 0604 and HLA - DRB1*12 was performed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).The results of total IgE based ELISA which was conducted on 96 suspected allergic and24 healthy (control ) individuals revealed that there was extremely significant statistical association (P<0.0001) for total IgE concentration with being allergic or non allergic status of individuals. The overall frequency of higher total IgE antibody concentration ( IgE>200IU/ml) was observed in 72.9% of allergic patients and lower serum total IgE levels (IgE<200IU/ml) were associated with 87.5% of healthy individuals. According to the specific IgE based ELISA results the effect of allergic patients age on the IgE seropositivity against cockroach allergens was not considered to be significant(p>0.05),but the effect of sex was statistically significant)P<0.05(.There was no significant effect( p>0.05)for patients age and sex on the distribution of IgE antibodies against mosquito allergens. Out of 96 allergic patients, 59 (61.5%)and 62(64.6%)showed positive IgE antibody response against cockroach and mosquito allergens respectively. Concerning the PCR results the overall frequency of HLA - DQB1*0602 and HLA - DQB1*0604 alleles was %35.6 and %15.3 of cockroach allergic patients respectively and the HLA - DRB1*12 allele was not observed in these patients..Out of 62 mosquito allergic patients, 8(%12.9)showed HLA - DQB1 * 0602 positive results while HLA - DQB1*0604 allele was observed in 4(%6.5)patients and the HLA - DRB1*12 allele was not observed in these patients.The difference in the genotypig results was extremely highly significant(χ2 : 0.030;17.486; degrees of freedom(DF) : 3;p - value=0.00056136) between cockroach and mosquito allergic patients .The association between the presence HLA - DQB1 *0602 , HLA - DQB1 * 0604 and HLA - DRB1*12 and total IgE based ELISA results in allergic patients and healthy individuals revealed that the percentage of HLA - DQB1 * 0602, HLA - DQB1 * 0604 and HLA - DRB1*12 alleles presence in patients having total IgE lower total IgE )IgE<200 IU/ml) was higher than that of high )IgE>200 IU/ml) total IgE patients where HLA - DQB1*0602 appeared in high percentage(69.2%) followed by percentage (15.4 %( of HLA - DQB1* 0604 presence. . The relationship of HLA - DQB1and HLADRB1 alleles with the results of total IgE based ELISA was statistically significant in the least(χ2 : 60.756 and the degree of freedom (DF) : 5;p= P<0.00001) and greatest(χ2 : 11.806 ; the degree of freedom (DF) : 5 ; p = 0.037544) than 200 IU / ml, values .Depending on the association between the presence of HLADQB1* 0602 ,HLA - DQB1*0604 and HLA - DRB1*12 and positive or negative specific results of cockroach or mosquito allergens specific IgE based ELISA results in allergic patients revealed that the percentage of HLA - DQB*0602,HLA - DQB1*0604 and HLA - DRB1*12 alleles presence in cockroach allergic patients having positive results were higher than those ratios that have been observed in patients with negative ELISA results where HLA - DQB1*0602 appeared in high percentage)35.6%( followed by percentage( 15.3% )of HLA - DQB1*0604 . The relationship of HLADQB1and HLA - DRB1 alleles with the results of specific IgE based ELISA was statistically significant (χ2 : 10.412; DF : 3; p - value =0.01536989).Incontrast the percentage of HLA - DQB1*0602,HLADQB1*0604 and HLA - DRB1*12 alleles presence in mosquito allergic patients was found to be higher in negative ELISA results patients also the relationship of these HLA - DQB1 alleles with mosquito allergen specific IgE based ELISA results was not considared statistically significant (χ2 : 3.115 ;DF : 3 and p= 0.37423205).However HLA - DQB1 * 0602 allele was found in the highest percentage (20.6%), followed by allele HLA - DQB1 * 0604 (8.8%).Concerning the presence of HLA - DQB1*0602 ,HLA - DQB1*0604 andHLA - DRB1*12 in cockroach or mosquito allergic patients and healthy individuals,the HLA - DRB1*12 and HLA - DQB1*0602 allels were not found in healthy individuals.The genotyping results difference between cockroach allergic patients and healthy individuals was considered statistically extremely significant (χ2 : 74.485 ;DF : 5 and p =0) as well as the difference in the results of the genotyping of mosquitoes allergic patients and healthy people was statistically with very high significant (χ2 : 23.342 ; DF : 5 and p = 0.00029035).

Abstract: A total of 210 human venous blood samples were collected from Basrah province ( 190 randomly collected from people living in different regions of Basrah province , 10 blood samples from people who did not have a history of shrimp consumption or dealing with it used as negative control group, anther 10 samples of people who are sensitive to shrimp used as a positive control group). The samples were serologically tested by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) to estimate the distribution of total and specificIgE in the sera of studied individuals . Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was performed to detect the HLA - DQB1*02 , *0302 , *0305 allels. The immunological study included the preparation of two types of Metapenaeus affinis allergens which are the raw allergens and the boiled allergens used in Indirect ELISA test to determin shrimp food allergies by serodiagnosis , while Direct ELISA test was used to estimate the distribution of total IgE by quantitative serological methods in the sera of studied samples. the concentration of protein in antigens extracts was estimated, the protein concentration in the boiled shrimp extract was less than its concentration in the raw extract.The results of direct ELISA test demonstrated a decrease in the level of total IgE antibodies in most of the studied samples , the level of IgE <100 recorded a significant high rate 98.4% which is more than the level of IgE > 100 which recorded apercentage of 1.6% and there was a significant difference between them. The Indirect ELISA test results revealed that the total percentage of IgE distribution of the raw and boiled shrimp antigens were 57.8% and 74.2% respectively and there was a significant difference between males and females .However , the difference was not significant between the age groups P>0.05.The molecular study was conducted to detect the presence of some alleles HLADQB1* 02, *0302, *0305 gene in the blood samples by using PCR . The current study showed that the association of the presence of these alleles and the level of total immunoglobulin is highly significant.Also the current study showed that a high significant difference was found between the positive samples to the studied alleles and the seropositive and seronegative results of raw and boild shrimp allergen specific IgE based on Indirect ELISA (P≤0.01).The results of PCR showed a high frequency ratio of HLADQB1 * 0302 97.2% in allergic patients of shrimp boild allergen and 56.9% in allergic patients of shrimp raw allergen .Also the current study showed a very high frequency ratio of HLADQB1 *0305 98.2% in the individuals who showed positive results for the raw allergen and recorded 65.2%. in the individuals who showed positive results for the boild allergen ,while HLADQB1*02 showed in one sample of studied samples which recorded positive results to raw and boild allergens of shrimp .The current study demonstrated also that the alleles frequency in some of studied samples which are seronegative by Indirect ELISA test , HLADQB1*0302 was 30.9% in raw antigens, while in the negative boild sample was not observed . HLADQB1*0305 was 1.23% in serongative of raw allergen and 16.32% in boild allergen. However, HLADQB1*02 was notobserved in seronagative to raw and boild shrimp allergen.

Three stations were selected to execute the study the former is located in the Euphrates River, while the second is situated about two kilometers apart from the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates. The third station, however, is located after the confluence of the Shatt al - Arab River with Ghamaj canal. Three replicate samples were collected from each station. some environmental factors were measured ( i.e. water temperature , salinity, pH and dissolved oxygen ) water temperature ranged between 18.4ºC to 32º C during January and May respectively, salinity ranged from (1.9 - 3.8) ppt. during October and May respectively, pH between 6.96 - 8.13 during December, March and April respectively, dissolved oxygen between (7.6 - 16) mg/L during July and September respectively Some other factors concerning the bottom and substrate were also studied namely, bottom texture, pH, salinity, calcium, phosphorus, nitrogen, potassium and organic matter. The study found that the bottom texture was silty clay in station1 while silty in the second and silty mixture in the third station. Other bottom components varied between the three stations. However, pH ranged between 7.24 and 7.55, salinity between (3.2 - 5.3) ppt. Nitrogen from 42 - 150 ppm, PO4 (29.8 - 53.3) ppm, potassium (226 - 346) ppm and Ca+2 from 480 - 986.6 ppm., and organic matter from (10 - 21)%. Three categories of benthic invertebrates were encountered in the studied stations i.e. Gastropoda, Annelida and Insecta, as 25, 16 and 20 taxonomical orders of each respectively. four molluscan species and one order of insects in each of the three stations, while annelida a total of 20 , 11 and 15 species were found in the three stations respectively . the following species were collected during the study Potamothrix hammoniensis (Michaelsen, 1901), Potamothrix bavaricus (Öschmann, 1913) and Psammoryctides moravicus (Hrabe, 1934) of a group of worms Naadd tube and Nais stolci (Hrabe, 1981) and Parainais frici Hrabe, 1941 from Naadd group for the first once in southern Iraq, while generally registers types Nais raviensis Stephenson, 1941 and Homochaeta lactea (Cernosvitov, 1937) of Naadd group for the first time in Iraq. a total of 4497 specimens of benthic invertebrates were collected during the study period (i.e. 1692, 1169 and 1636 from three stations respectively) oligochaetes formed a high proportions in all stations (90.6, 85.2 and 87 %, respectively) and the lowest percentage was for polychaetes amounted to 0.15% and 0.2 % recorded in the first and third stations respectively . out of gastropods Melanoides tuberculata formed the highest proportions ( 55.2 % and 43.7 % and 30.4 % recorded in the three study stations respectively ), but the lowest ratio was 9.7% recorded for the snail Physa acuta in station 2. With respect to tube worm’s group Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri was dominant proportions accounted for 96.9 % in station 1 and 98.6 % in other stations. However, the lowest proportion (0.1 %) was recorded for Tubifex tubifex in station1 and 0.2 % and 0.5% recorded for the species P. moravicus in the stations 2 and 3 respectively. The highest species proportions belong to the group Naididae amounted to 34% and 78.3 % recorded for the species N. stolci in stations 1 and 3 respectively, while in the station2 the worm Pristinella sima was found by 30%. The lowest proportion among all stations was recorded for Pristina aequiseta and Dero nivea amounted to 0.8%. Monthly density of the species recorded during the study was calculated and reached the highest values of 5082, 2058 and 5430 individual / m 2 in the three investigated stations respectively , all recorded for the species L. hoffmeisteri, the lowest value, however, was 11 individual / m 2 were recorded in all the stations for a number of species. Percentage frequency for the species was also studied and found that the species L. hoffmesteria is the only one that occurred during all months in all study stations, as shown by the highest percentage of recurrence (100%) in all months in the stations 2 and 3 , and just eight months in stations1. the lowest frequency (33%) recorded for all stations for a number of species. Stations statistically compared concerning temperature, salinity, pH and dissolved oxygen, as well as densities of molluscs, oligochaetes and the number of species. Significant differences were not found except with dissolved oxygen, which differed significantly between the first and second stations on the one hand and the third on the other hand. Regarding correlation it has been found that mean temperature was positively associated with both pH (r = 0.679) and the mean of salinity (r = 0.350). On the other hand, mean salinity was positively associated with molluscs density (r = 0.331) and temperature was negatively associated(r = - 0.361) with both the number of total species recorded and density of oligochaetes . The total number of species was positively associated with oligochaetes density (r=0.395).

Abstract: The present study was concerned with some biological aspects of the invasive snail Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck, 1822) and for this purpose, monthly samples from Shatt Al - Arab banks in the area of Al - Salhia were collected during the period from October 2014 to September 2015. The study included the monthly variations in the density of snail , its egg masses and the population sizes. In the laboratory, the study included many aspects, these are the relationships between female weight with some measurements of its egg masses, embryonic development duration, hatching percentages under different temperatures, food consumption, salt acclimatization, growth under combined effect of salinity and temperature, effect of food type on growth of newly hatched snails and examine samples of snail to detect the infection with parasites if present. The density of the snail was ranged from four to 13 ind. /m2 recorded during January - February 2015 and October 2014 respectively, while the mean density of egg masses was from two to nine egg mass / m2 recorded during April 2015 and October 2014. The statistical analysis showed that the temperature had positive correlated with density of each of snails and its egg masses. On the otherhand, there are positive correlation between the density of each snail and its egg masses. The snails, which had been collected during the study period, were 19 - 68 mm in length, these measurements were classifying into five size classes. The size class 35 - 45 mm was dominanted for nine months, compared with the size class 55 - 65 mm that had less occurrence.The diameter of eggs varied from 2.5 - 4 mm. The 25°C is the most suitable temperature to get a high percentage of hatching and a short period of embryonic development. There was no significant correlation between the weight of the female and the number of its egg masses.The feeding experiment showed that the amount of food consumed lettuce mild during the study period 30 days by one individual ranged from 3 - 29g. The results of the acclimatization was referred to the ability of all size classes' snails to tolerate the low salinity 2.5 psu with 100% survival percentage, while the snails of size classes at least 10 mm and 10 - 25mm were able to tolerate the salinity of 11psu with 10% and 50% respectivly survival.There are variable effects of the combination of temperature and salinity on growth of newly hatched snails for 9 weeks experiment, these effects were reflected on the weight, length and width, and the highest of these measurements were recorded for snails of 2.5 psu - 27°C combination, while the lowest one was recorded in 7.5 psu - 10°C. The lowest survival percentage was 5% recorded for the individuals of 7.5 psu - 27 and 32°C, compared with 90% of distil water - 17°C. On the other hand, the optimum growth was in 2.5 psu all temperatures, while the optimum growth was in all salinities, and temperature of 27°C.The experimental study of five types of food fresh celery, fresh lettuce, fish food, mixed food and animal protein)on growth of newly hatched snails for 9 weeks. Showed that the mean weight, length and width of snails were depending on the food type. The mixed food gave significant increase in growth 382.1 mg weight, 10.10mm length and7.58mm width compared with the other types of food.The highest survival percentage 95% was recorded for the snails fed on celery, lettuce and fish food. The present study on the snail P. canaliculata does not record any infection by the larvae of parasites

Abstract: The purpose of present study was to detection of Rotavirus A and Escherichia Coli from diarrhea cases in children, and characterization of E.coli phag, in addition to study some of factors that influence on Diarrhea.Stool samples were collected between 15/11/2014 and 1/4/2015 from children 0 to 59 months of age who were hospitalized in Basra hospital for women and children, Basra/Iraq. A total of 300 children with acute gastroenteritis were enrolled, including 199 males and 101 females.In this study among children with Diarrhea was 93/300 (31%) Rotavirus positive cases by Immunochromatographic (IC) test as monoinfection (1.66%), coinfection (26.34%), and mixing infections (3%). Out of 50 IC positives fecal samples were tested using electronic microscope, 50(100%) were found positive. A total of 80 stools were examined for Rotavirus using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The overall agreement was 68/80(85%).Furthermore, regardless of the types of infection, monoinfection or coinfection or mixing, Bacteria was isolated, including; 277/300 (92.33%) children had infections with Escherichia coli, 39/300 (13%) cases with Salmonella spp., While, Shigella spp. was reported in 12/300 (4.01%) samples. The identification of bacterial pathogens was later confirmed by Api 20 Enterobacteraceae system. Also parasitic causes were found in 6/300 (2%) samples.Overall, this study recorded 182 /300 (60.66%) of monoinfection cases including; 5 /300 (1.66%) with Rotavirus, 163 /300 (54.33%) with Escherichia coli, 6 /300 (2%) with Salmonella spp., 2 /300 (0.67%) with Shigella spp., 3 /300 (1%) with Entamoeba histolytica, 3 /300 (1%) with Giardia lamblia. Coinfection with another microorganism was observed in 109/300 (36.34%) cases, coinfection with Rotavirus and Escherichia coli were the most common and occurred in 75/300 (25%) cases.Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed on Muller Hinton agar against five different antibiotics to 30 isolates of E. coli. The antibiotic resistance/susceptibility profile of E. coli isolates revealed that most of the isolates were resistant to three tested antibiotics (Trimethoprim, Ampicillin and Doxycyclin). The phage ɸEC - MH1 was isolation successfully from sewage. The phage titer was determined by serial dilution (10 - 1 to 10 - 9) of the sample by counting the number of plaque forming units (p.f.u.) for each dilution.Results revealed that dilution factor 10 - 2 was the best countable number of plaques. The statistical analysis was significantly decrease P≤ 0.05 in phage titer at the temperature 50C° and 65C° during different times comparing with phage titer at the temperature 37C°. Effects of chloroform on phage titer during different times were completely inactivated comparing with saline environments. Furthermore, regarding some clinical information; the present study showed that 66.33% of the males were more susceptible to the infection with highly significant (P<0.001) than females (33.67%). Mean age (mean ± standard deviation) of all positive cases was 11.02±12.3 months, and the age periods between (0 - 5) and (6 - 11) were significantly prone to the infection.Also, all cases were complained with diarrhea (100%), fever (82.34%), Vomiting (43%) then dehydration (2.67%). In addition, all positive cases become increased in December (32%) and city center (81%). This study showed positive cases increase (69%) of children with artificial feeding

The algal species included Merismopedia glauca, Microcystis flos - aque, Nostoc commune , Oscillatoria pseudogeminata, Four of them were first recorded in Iraq : Lyngbya rubida, Pseudanabaena limnetica, Phormidium laysanense and Stigonema informe. Their ability to produce both anatoxin - a and microcystins was quantified and qualified determined for the first time locally and globally.The growth curve of isolated and purified species was measured after their development in the Chu - 10 liquid medium as measured the growth constant(k) which reached to 0.195, 0.197, 0.246, 0.25, 0.278, 0.29 and 0.528, and the generation time(G) which reach to 1.543, 1.527 and 1.223, 1.204, 1.082, 1.037 and 0.570 hour for the algal species M. glauca, M. flos - aque , P. limnetica, Ph. laysanense, O. pseudogeminata, L. rubida and N. commune , respectively. Neurotoxin (Anatoxin - a) and hepatotoxin (Microcystin) was purified from the blue - green algal species isolated and purified during the current study and quantified and qualitatively by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The concentration of purified neurotoxin has been identified as algae M. flos - aque, N. commune , L. rubida, S. informe, L. laysanense, O. pseudogeminata, M. glauca and P.limnetica, which were 0.357, 0.511, 0.598, 0.635, 0.705, 1.119, 1.156 and 1.179 μg/L respectively, While concerning the ability of the species to produce hepatotoxin (Microcystins) it has reached 0.973, 6.128, 1.309, 1.753, 6.209, 3.855, 1.733 and 3.701 µ/L respectively.The Ultraviolet spectrum test showed that the neurotoxin ( Anatoxin - a) had a single absorbance peak at a wavelength of 226 nm , and also the purified hepatotoxin (MCs) showed single absorbance peak at wavelength 240 nm. The infrared spectrum test showed that both types of toxins were present on most of the active constituents or active groups of their standard toxins.The half lethal dose concentration (LD50) of the biomass of the eight species of blue - green algae was determined towards the animal crustacean invertebrates larvae Artemia salina. The results showed that the algal species had high toxicity towards the crustacean animal larvae and that the algae that produce the anatoxin - a at higher concentrations compared to other algae in this study was the most toxic to the larvae as the LD50 reached 29.183, 30.66, 30.716, 33.466, 34.566, 35.866, 36.933 and 37.8 mg / mL for the algae P. limnetica, O. pseudogeminata, M. glauca and S .informe, L. Laysanense, N. commune , L.rubida and M. flos - aque respectively. The half lethal dose concentration (LD50) of neurotoxin(Anatoxin - a) purified from blue - green alga P. malimnica against the larvae of Artemia salina, which reached 0.498 μg/L, while the half - lethal dose concentration reach to 2.59 μg/L for purified hepatotoxin (Microcystin) from the blue - green alga Ph. Laysanense The histopathological effects of neurotoxin anatoxin - a purified from P. limnetica for the first time locally and globally on the brain of white mice type Mus muscules L. were studied under low concentrations of neurotoxin (Anatoxin - a) 0.5 and 1 μg / L for a 15 - day exposure period and increased effects were observed with increased concentration. The results of the microscopic examination at concentration 5µg/L showed begin of occurrence vacuolation ,necrosis in white matter in addition of karyopiknosis of glial cells nuclei, and the beginning of congestion of blood vessel and the decay of the epithelial tissue lining the blood vessel. As demonstrated by the examination the begin of occurrence shrinkage of neuron constituent of the gray matter area as well as less thickness of the gray matter compared with control group . The effects were increased with an increase in concentration to 1 μg/L. In addition to the previous effects, there was a significant deterioration in the thickness of the gray matter and the low percentage of neurons with increasing shrinkage in addition to decay of glial cells in white matter and disappearance or swelling of endothelial cells lining the blood vessel and the expansion dilation , greater congestion , vacuolation and appearance of white matter in spongiform shape, addition to increased necrosis, and hyperpigmentation compared to the control group.Some of the behavioral effects of anatoxin - a were recorded on laboratory mice during periods of injection of neurotoxin represented by weight loss. A significant decrease under probability level p ≤ 0.05 was observed in the weight of mice treated with both concentrations of toxin after 15 days compared with mice in control group , In addition to the loss of sight (blindness) and hair loss thick after 7 - 10 days of injection

Abstract: اجريت الدراسة الحالية لمعرفة تاثير مياه الصرف الصحي على المحتوى البكتيري في محطة حمدان لمعالجة مياه الصرف الصحي /البصرة حيث تستلم المحطة مياه المجاري المنقولة عبر شبكة من الانابيب التي تستلم مياه المجاري من50% من مناطق مدينة البصرة. اختبرت ثلاث مواقع لاخذ العينات هي المحطة الاولى حوض التجميع الخارجي والمحطة الثانية حوض الترسيب الابتدائي اما المحطة الثالثة فهي المياه الخارجة من المحطة والتي تصب في شط البصرة.وشملت الدراسة ايضا قياس بعض الخصائص الفيزيائية والكيميائية لمياه المجاري وهي (الاس الهيدروجيني pH ودرجة الحرارة Temperature والملوحة Salinity والمتطلب الحيوي للاوكسجين BOD5 والفوسفات والمواد الصلبة العالقة الكلية TSS والمواد الصلبة الذائبة الكلية TDS والنتريت NO2 والنترات NO3) خلال الفترة من كانون الاول2014/ ولغاية ايار2015/.ويتضح من نتائج هذه الدراسة ان المتطلب الحيوي للاوكسجين BOD5 هو عامل مهم وله علاقة باعداد البكتريا الكلية الموجودة في مياه الصرف الصحي.كما شملت حساب كثافة المجاميع البكتيرية المتواجدة في مياه المحطات.ولحساب العدد الكلي للمستعمرات البكتيرية اخذت عينات مياه الصرف الصحي وزرعت على اوساط عامة وانتخابية وتفريقية مختلفة استخدم وسط الاكار المغذي Nutrient Agarكما واستخدم وسط المانيتول الملحي الانتخابي Mannitol Salt Agarلعزل المكورات العنقودية الذهبية Staphylococcusaureus ووسط اكار الماكونكي MacConkey Agar لعزل بكتريا القولون البرازية Escherichiacoli ووسط AgarXLD الانتخابي التفريقي (Xylose lysine deoxycholate Agar ) لعزل انواع البكتريا التابعة لجنس السالمونيلا Salmonella.تم ايضا دراسة حساسية العزلات تجاه المضادات الحيوية باستخدام طريقة الانتشار عبر الاقراص Disc Diffusion Test حسب طريقة كربي باور Kirby Bauer Method. ان دراسة حساسية عزلات E. coli توصلت الى ان العزلات البكتيرية ابدت نسب مقاومة عالية لاغلب المضادات الحيوية المختبرة في هذه الدراسة ، كذلك ابدت المكورات العنقودية الذهبية مقاومة عالية لاغلب المضادات الحيوية في حين كانت حساسة لكل من كلورامفينيكول (C) وسيبروفلوكساسين (CIP) ونورفلوكساسين (NOR) وكانامايسين (K). كانت عزلات السالمونيلا متباينة في حساسيتها تجاه المضادات الحيوية المختبرة في هذه الدراسة لكن ابدت عدم مقاومة او مقاومة واطئة للمضاد الحيوي CIP وNOR . ابدت المجاميع البكتيرية المختلفة قيد الدراسة انماط مقاومة مختلفة تجاه المضادات الحيوية اذ ابدت انماط مقاومة مختلفة. وكذلك ابدت العزلات البكتيرية المعزولة من مياه الصرف الصحي مستويات مختلفة من التحمل لتراكيز المعادن الثقيلة ،فيما يخص عزلات E. coliابدت العزلات مستوى عال من التحمل للنيكل بلغ 64% من العزلات كان MIC لها 4mg/Lوللكادميوم فان نسبة 93% من العزلات كان MICلها 0.8mg/L. اما بالنسبة للمكورات العنقودية الذهبية فان 89% من العزلات كان MIC لها 2mg/L لعنصر النيكلوبالنسبة للكادميوم فان 33% من العزلات كان MIC لها 0.4mg/L .وبالنسبة للسالمونيلا كان تحمل 100% من العزلات لعنصر النيكل هو عند 2mg/L في حين كان 50% من العزلات MIC لها 4mg/L كحد اقصى لعنصر الكادميوم. | The present study has been conducted to detect the effect of different parameters of sewage on microbial content at Hammdan for wastewater treatment in Basra city. The station receive sewage transported via net of pipes from different parts of Basra city .Three sites in the station for taking samples ,the first site is the external collection basin, the second site is primary sedimentation basin, the third site is water output that carry the water after treatment to flow at Shatt al Basra. Some characteristics of sewage were measured, these include pH, Temperature, Salinity, BOD5, TDS, TSS, Phosphate, NO2 and NO3 from period December/2014 to May/2015. In this study it is clear that BOD5 is an important factor related to total bacterial count in sewage. The bacteriological study of sewage has been done including measurement of total count of bacteria isolation and counting of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella spp. From different stations selective media is used for isolation including Nutrient Agar , MacConkey Agar , Mannitol salt Agar and XLD Agar . The antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates towards selected antibiotics have been studied using disc diffusion test. In the present study E. coli isolates showed high percentage of resistance to most of antibiotics. Staphylococcus aureus also showed high percentage resistance to most of antibiotics studied and found susceptibility to Chloramphenicol, Ciprofloxacin and Kanamycin. Variable suceptibility to tested antibiotics in the present study has been shown by Salmonella spp., Salmonella spp. were susceptible or show low resistance to Ciprofloxacin and Norfloxacin .Different Antibiotics Resistance Profiles has been shown by different bacteria groups studies. The bacterial isolates from sewage in this study have shown different levels of tolerance to different heavy metals (Nickel and Cadmium). E. coli tolerate high concentration for Nickel (%64) and for Cadmium (%93). High tolerance level for Cadmium has been shown for Salmonella spp (%50).
