This study suggests using nano-silica to improve clayey soil's functionality. A range of nano-silica concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8) were used. Laboratory testing was used to identify Atterber's limitations, the optimum moisture content (OMC), the maximum dry density (MDD), and microstructural examination. According to the study, treating soil with 0.4-0.6% nano-silica yields the best results. According to the result, the liquid limit (LL) and plastic limit (PL) are reached maximum at 0.6% nano-silica, while the plasticity index is at its lowest point. The results showed that incorporating nano-silica into clay samples will lower the maximum.","PeriodicalId":37519,"journal":{"name":"Periodicals of Engineering and Natural Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45350143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Iraqi code has specified certain load limits per each axle type that should not be exceeded. However, many trucks violate these limits by carrying additional weights to decrease the transportation cost. These overweight trucks cause severe deterioration to the pavement and thus reduce its life. The Iraqi authorities generally charges the violating trucks a penalty based on their weights. This penalty could be very small compared to the damage occurring to the pavement based on these over weights. Also, some trucks may carry huge weights that the pavement may not support, so unloading such trucks could be a suitable solution rather than paying few amounts of money and deteriorating the pavement. The study aims at studying the effect of axle load increase, and the variation in pavement moduli, on the overall pavement life. It also aims to estimate the overweight truck limits that could be penalized or unloaded. The research uses the ABAQUS software conditions to estimate the tensile strains occurring under the asphalt concrete (AC) layer and the compressive strains above the subgrade surface. These computed strains are incorporated in the fatigue cracking and rutting models to estimate the pavement life for different axle weights. Results showed that violating trucks should be unloaded when their weights exceed certain limits.","PeriodicalId":37519,"journal":{"name":"Periodicals of Engineering and Natural Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41712413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The appropriate choice of the wavelet mother, which results in concentrating the bulk of the signal strength on a few wavelet coefficients, is one of the most determining factors in noise removal and obtaining accurate regression function estimates. Given the importance of studying the price index in Iraq, many mother functions within the wavelet transformation have been studied. To determine which of them is more suitable for such a type of data, which gives accurate estimates of the relationship between trading volume as an independent variable and the Iraq market index as a dependent variable, the best or most appropriate functions were determined through the estimates that have less (MSE). It became clear that the best or relevant parts are (Coif1, Coif5, and rbio1.3). The study was applied to real data represented by the trading volume and price index data for the Iraqi market for the period from (2008) to April (2022).

A case study is considered in this work, representing the Karakaya Dam. Two research approaches were implemented to achieve the research goal, including extrapolation in Excel and numerical optimization using linear regression. The outputs revealed that the annual temperature in the future of zones around the Karakaya Dam, including Azami, Ortalama, and Asgari, would witness a moderate increase of about 3 to 6 degrees Celsius in the next decade. Moreover, the research confirmed that the Euphrates River discharge rate at the Karakaya Dam would witness a significant increase from (100-350 m 3 ) to (2,590-2,640 m 3 ) in 2029, explaining that temperature and discharge rate may influence the liquefaction. Meanwhile, the research outputs indicated that soil temperature under the Karakaya Dam and chemical elements would not vary significantly in the next decade. Notwithstanding, the pH number will change widely from 4.14 to 9.74 in 2029.

This study found that the thyroid gland of the Caucasian squirrel is located in the neck area, below the larynx, on both sides of the trachea. It has two lobes (right and left) with cylindrical shape. The histological studies revealed that the thyroid gland is surrounded by a capsule which consists of connective tissue and forming of two layers which are outer layer and inner layer, and a layer of adipose tissue appears overlapping the outer layer. The inner tissue of the gland consists of follicles with different shapes and sizes, and is lined with simple cuboidal epithelial tissue (follicular cells). Sometimes it appears in the form of high or low cuboidal epithelial tissue, in dependent on the functional activity state of the gland, and the follicles cavities are filled with colloid. In addition, there are two kinds of cells spread in the gland tissue, follicular cells and parafollicular cells, and they are fewer in number and larger in size than follicular cells and appear either singly or in the form of clusters and occupy two sites between the follicles or within the follicle. Immunologically, the results observed an immune response to thyroglobulin antibodies to detect the protein secreted by the follicular cells, which in turn secreted it to the colloid. Moreover, the immune response appeared clear in the cell membrane of the follicular cells and the colloid through the appearance of the brown color which is specific to the immune reaction.","PeriodicalId":37519,"journal":{"name":"Periodicals of Engineering and Natural Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49011548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nodal explants of H. polysperma were used in propagation studies. The 100% regeneration frequency was determined in MS plus 0.25 and 0.50 mg/L GA3 + 0.15 mg/L NAA. When the shoot numbers were examined, the best nutrient medium was determined as 0.25 mg/L GA3 + 0.15 mg/L NAA (14.72 shoots/explant). The best result in shoot length was reached in MS plus 0.50 mg/L GA3 + 0.15 mg/L NAA (1.91 cm). Then the longest shoot was determined as 1.79 cm in nutrient media plus 0.25 mg/L GA3 + 0.15 mg/L NAA. Longer shoots were obtained in GA3+NAA nutrient media according to control. When the results were examined, it was determined that the number and length of shoots decreased as the amount of GA3+NAA used in the culture medium increased. Regenerated shoots were rooted in MS media including 0.25 mg/L Indole-3-Acetic Acid and successfully acclimatized to aquarium conditions. As a result, multiple and rapid productions of H. polysperma under tissue culture conditions were achieved.","PeriodicalId":37519,"journal":{"name":"Periodicals of Engineering and Natural Sciences","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73360428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
