Synoptic analysis of weather chart for pressure levels (300, 500, 700, 850, and surface) was performed. Visible images of satellites were used to determine the quantities of the cloud for the selected cases. The results showed that synoptic analysis in all cases occurs due to the presence of a jet stream in the upper atmosphere, accompanied by the presence of a basin at the level of 300 hectopascals with an enhancement of relative humidity exceeding 70% at the level of 700 hectopascals, but the presence of the front makes the amount of rain greater in the absence of it. At the level of 850 hectopascals and the surface, the depressions that affect Iraq also differ in their severity and the amount of moisture loaded.","PeriodicalId":7515,"journal":{"name":"Al-Mustansiriyah Journal of Sciences","volume":"14 1","pages":"51-57"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88358311","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}

In this study, the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and Landsat satellite imagery were used under the GIS environment to identify the suitable zones for rainwater harvesting. The accomplishment of rainwater harvesting systems strongly depends on their technical designing and identifying the suitable sites. Six criteria have been used to identify the rainwater harvesting sites in the Diyala governorate. The procedure of identifying the suitable sites for rainwater harvesting was applied twice for the Diyala governorate. Firstly, it was applied by using the criteria of rainfall, slope, stream order, distance to roads, and land use, and secondly, rainfall, slope, stream order, distance to roads, and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) criteria were used for this purpose. As a result, the study area was divided into three suitability zones: low, moderate, and high according to the specific criteria that were used to identify the rainwater harvesting suitable sites. It was found that in the application of land use criterion the low suitability zone represents 26%, 58% represents the moderate, and 16% for the high suitability zone, while in the method of NDVI it was found that 29% represents the zone that has low suitability, 57% represents the moderate, and 14% represents the high suitability zone. The compared results led to conclude that the land use is the most influential criterion for identifying the rainwater harvesting suitability sites and found that most of the Eastern parts of Diyala governorate are promising areas for rainwater harvesting and ArcGIS is a very useful, time-saving, and cost-effective tool for identifying the rainwater harvesting suitable sites.","PeriodicalId":7515,"journal":{"name":"Al-Mustansiriyah Journal of Sciences","volume":"105 1","pages":"96-102"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75071598","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}

Data of study was recorded perfectly from one selected point by hand using the same devices for all recording to exclude the error caused by changing device types. The results showed that atmospheric conditions had a noticeable effect on microwave signal band that used by 'TV' satellite especially when there was a rainy case, and for atmospheric 'UV' index it had a direct positive effect on radio waveband used by mobile phone because there was an increase in signal strength corresponding with increasing of 'UV' index (from 1 to 5 of UV index range). For temperature, the result showed inverse proportion with radio waveband signal, but relative humidity didn't show up any relations with both study band's signals. Day time variation of signals was recorded for both wavebands, the result of radio waveband signal fluctuated in semi sine wave shape but with decreasing trend along day time, and for 'TV' satellite microwave band signal the result recorded increasing trend along day time, and this may because of solar radiation activity but in general, the satellite band signal was higher affected by weather condition as compared with mobile phone radio wave signal band.","PeriodicalId":7515,"journal":{"name":"Al-Mustansiriyah Journal of Sciences","volume":"86 1","pages":"71-75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85381958","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}

Some important properties of modified Pell polynomials are presented. An exact formula of modified Pell polynomials derivative in terms of modified Pell themselves is first derived with the proof and then a new relationship is constructed which relates the modified Pell polynomials expansion coefficients of a derivative in terms of their original expansion coefficients. An interesting new formula for the product operational matrix of modified Pell polynomials is also derived in this work. With modified Pell polynomials expansion scheme, the powers 1, x, …, x n are expressed in terms of such polynomials. The main goal of all presented formulas is to simplify the original equations and the determination of the coefficients of expansion based on modified Pell polynomials will be easy. Spectral techniques together with all the derived formulas of modified Pell polynomials are utilized to solve some singular initial value problems. Three test examples are solved in this work to illustrate the validity of the proposed method. The computational method is replaced by exact and explicit formulas. More accurate results are obtained than those presented by other existing methods in the literature.","PeriodicalId":7515,"journal":{"name":"Al-Mustansiriyah Journal of Sciences","volume":"358 3","pages":"18-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91459804","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}

A total of 810 urine samples were collected from suspected cases of UTI in children patients of ages (1 day to 12 years) of both sexes. Urine specimens were examined by urinalysis and cultured for isolation of microbial agents. In this study, Bacterial growth was obtained in 202 samples (24.39%) out of 810 urine samples.
