Effects of breakup channel on elastic and inelastic scattering have been studied using the nuclear potential Woods-Saxon (WS) for 6He+197Au, 6He+209Bi, and 8He+208Pb systems, which contain weakly bound nuclei (halo nuclei) as projectiles. The Continuum-discretized coupled-channels CDCC method have been used to employed single channel (SC) and coupled channels (CC) calculations. Cross-sections of elastic and inelastic scattering were extracted from the optical potential fits, to achieve the optimum comparability between the theoretical calculations of dstot/dsR and experimental data for the systems reviewed. The breakup process at near Coulomb barrier energies play essential role in the results of cross section as a function of angle in angular distribution.

Nano gamma-alumina support was prepared successfully by Sol-gel method using aluminum nitrate without and with carbon nanotubes as a template at different calcination temperatures (600, 650, and 700°C) and then loaded with 0.3% of platinum and 0.3% of tungsten by the wet- impregnation method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), atomic force microscope (AFM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and (BET) surface area were used to characterize the prepared nano catalyst. The best results obtained were 389.34 m2/gm surface area, 0.468 cm3 /gm pore volume, 8.07 nm pore size and 42.71 nm average particle size for the prepared nana gamma-alumina at a calcination temperature of 600°C.

The outbreak of Sheep and goat pox (SGP) viral infections have increasingly been reported despite vaccinating the majority of sheep populations in Iran. The objective of this study was to predict the impacts of the SGP P32/envelope variations on the binding with host receptors as a candidate tool to assess this outbreak. The targeted gene was amplified in a total of 101 viral samples, and the PCR products were subjected to Sanger sequencing. The polymorphism and phylogenetic interactions of the identified variants were assessed. Molecular docking was performed between the identified P32 variants and the host receptor and the effects of these variants were evaluated. Eighteen variations were identified in the investigated P32 gene with variable silent and missense effects on the envelope protein. Five groups (G1–G5) of amino acid variations were identified. While there were no amino acid variations in the G1 (wild-type) viral protein, G2, G3, G4, and G5 proteins had seven, nine, twelve, and fourteen SNPs, respectively. Based on the observed amino acid substitutions, multiple distinct phylogenetic places were occupied from the identified viral groups. Dramatic alterations were identified between G2, G4, and G5 variants with their proteoglycan receptor, while the highest binding was revealed between goatpox G5 variant with the same receptor. It was suggested that the higher severity of goatpox viral infection originated from its higher affinity to bind with its cognate receptor. This firm binding may be explained by the observed higher severity of the SGP cases from which G5 samples were isolated.

The historical column of the art of painting, as the most prominent aesthetic human activity with a clear impact on individuals and groups, presented a series of stylistic, spatial and temporal shifts in terms of shifts of control, transmission and positioning at the top of the aesthetic pyramid. According to the difference between one centre and another, and as for the measurement of the depth of influence, its temporal duration and its continuity after the decline of that centre. The contemporary has become a cumulative and expanded stock, preserved by the memory of history. From this, it is clear that contemporaneity also lives under attraction, dialogue and acculturation, some of which are obvious and declared, while others are hidden and arise. This leads to intellectual manipulation arises according to the perceptions presented by the artwork in secret. It is established by a group of geographical locations around the world, which have circulation as global artistic centres where artists from around the world come to spread or learn. This increases the phenomenon of global aesthetic mobility. This study is an attempt by the researcher to reveal the image of aesthetic leadership and the global endeavour towards the forefront of artistic transmission and influence in the other. The subject is revealed in its declared details according to the definition of global hegemony since a long time ago and the path of transformations that accompanied the art between the rise of one centre and the decline of another until the contemporary. The researcher analysed four paintings from four global locations currently in aesthetic circulation. Her findings are as follows:1. Artists addressed local styles in varying proportions despite the prevalence of globally agreed stylistic models in contemporary art. However, the degree of reliance on local style varied across art export centres.2. National ideologies and affiliations influenced some art export centres by choosing vocabulary and employing international styles to present their ideas and reach the recipients' highest acceptance and understanding.3. Whenever the artist wants to use the artistic medium to communicate his direct and hidden message, he adopts the simplified and easy method and avoids the coded method, so he turns to the most understandable and readable methods by the recipients in general.

Ensuring everyone enjoys healthy lifestyles and well-being at all ages, Progress has been made in increasing access to clean water and sanitation facilities and reducing the spread of epidemics and diseases. The synthesis of nano-particles (NPs) by using microalgae is a new nanobiotechnology due to the use of the biomolecular (corona) of microalgae as a capping and reducing agent for NP creation. This investigation explores the capacity of a distinct indigenous microalgal strain to synthesize silver nano-particles (AgNPs), as well as its effectiveness against multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria and its ability to degrade Azo dye (Methyl Red) in wastewater. An extract of Spirulina platensis was obtained from a local source to synthesize silver nano-particles (AgNPs). The synthesized AgNPs were subsequently subjected to characterization utilizing several analytical methods, namely UV-visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR analysis). Subsequently, the disc diffusion method assessed their anti-bacterial efficacy against multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria and their ability to degrade Azo dye (Methyl Red) in wastewater. The nano-particles produced through biological synthesis exhibited a prominent peak in the UV-visible spectrum at a wavelength of 430 nm. Furthermore, these nano-particles were determined to possess a crystalline nature, with an average size of 28.72 nm and a distinctive star-like shape. The synthesized silver nano-particles (AgNPs) exhibited a dose-dependent anti-bacterial effect against some clinical bacterial isolates as multi-drug resistant (MDR), including Gram − ve bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli , as well as Gram + ve bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae . The action can be ascribed to the unique biological and physicochemical features of AgNPs, which facilitate the disruption of bacterial cell membranes. The UV-visible analysis solution after the introduction of AgNPs indicated that the decrease in the absorbance peak of methyl red was attributed to the existence of silver nano-particles. Metal nano-particles can be synthesized using environmentally friendly processes and hold great potential for combating multi-drug resistant bacteria and degrading Azo dyes. Silver nano-particles (AgNPs) are synthesized with an extract derived from the algae Spirulina platensis, which is a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative.

Aims: The current study aimed at describing the short-term effect of nonsurgical periodontal treatment on dental anxiety and blood glucose level change among diabetic patients. Materials and Methods: One hundred and fifty patients with diabetes participated in a cross-sectional study design. All of them were divided into two groups, with 75 patients in each group. The first group was treated with air scaling, whereas the second group was treated with manual scaling. The determination of treatment needs and the evaluation of periodontal health status were achieved by using Community Periodontal Index for Treatment Need (CPITN). The level of dental anxiety was assessed by using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The glucose change was calculated by subtracting the glucose level before treatment from the glucose level straight after treatment. Results: No significant difference in glucose level was observed between manual scaling and air scaling after treatment (P = 0.076), and the level of glucose was significantly lower after scaling treatment within the treatment groups (P = 0.000). The level of glucose change between the groups was significantly lower for the manual scaling treatment group (P = 0.013), and it was significantly correlated with VAS (P = 0.000). Multiple regression analysis showed a significant association between the treatment groups (P = 0.007). Conclusions: Scaling reduced blood glucose and dental anxiety levels in patients with diabetes. Manual scaling was associated with reduced glucose level change less than air scaling after treatment.

Streptomyces, a genus of Gram-positive bacteria known for their filamentous morphology and remarkable ability to produce a diverse array of antibiotics, play a pivotal role in combating infectious diseases. Streptomyces can grow in various environments and are similar in shape to filamentous fungi. This study aimed to isolate and characterize Streptomyces isolates from Hillah city, Iraq with a focus on identifying those harboring the StrA and StrB genes, which are crucial for streptomycin production, and evaluate their antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria. A total of 100 samples were collected from different regions and location s at Hillah city. Only 25 of them were diagnosed with Streptomyces and grown and purified more than one time on International Streptomyces Project-2 (ISP-2) agar medium. All these samples were tested for their antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The morphological characteristics of aerial hyphae and mycelium of Streptomyces spp. were identified by using a light microscope at l,000X on ISP-2 agar medium. The results showed that 8 of 25 Streptomyces isolates had antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria through secondary screening by agar wells diffusion method. The genes responsible for antibiotics production in the Streptomyces isolates ^StrA and StrB) showed their antibacterial ability against pathogenic bacteria at (J-C-93) isolate that encoded by StrA gene, and (J-C-93, M-S-29) isolates that encoded by StrB gene. By characterizing Streptomyces isolates from Hilla city, Iraq and identifying those possessing the StrA and StrB genes associated with streptomycin production, the study provided a basis for discovering novel antibiotic candidates. Furthermore, the findings expanded our understanding of Streptomyces diversity in a specific geographic region, which is crucial for both drug discovery efforts and ecological studies of these important bacteria.

Background: Ovarian cancer is one of the commonest gynecologic malignancy. It is the most common cause of death due to gynecologic tumors, and accounts for 50% of deaths due to all gynecologic cancer types. Objectives: The aim was to discuss and assess ovarian cancer in Misan province and to underline its impact for increased awareness and interest in screening and early diagnosis by the determination of the prevalence rates among Maysanian women. Methods: The study lasted six months. During this period, we obtained a lot of data from records of the Al-Shifaa Oncology Center in Misan province, Iraq.
