Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a hematopoietic stem cell disease, associated with a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 9 and chromosome 22, lead to the formation of the BCR-ABL fusion gene (Philadelphia chromosome). This fusion gene is believed to play golden role in the initial development of CML with constitutive tyrosine kinase activation. Successful use of tyrosine kinase inhibiters (TKIs) play a role in improve survival and increase prevalence of CML, but un fortunately mutations in the BCR-ABL kinase domain may cause, or contribute to increase, resistance to TKIs in CML patients. This study was designed to assess the association of five most common BCR-ABL kinase domain mutations (T315I, M351T, E255K, M244V and E255V) with resistance state of CML patients on TKIs in Iraqi Middle Euphrates region. A retrospective case-control study in which 85 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (45 patients as cases group and 40 patient as control group) were selected from three hemato-oncology centers in middle Euphrates in Iraq during the period from January 2016 till October 2016 out of a total of 240 CML patients ( 108 male and 132 female) who were registered during this period in these three centers and all patients on TKI (Imatinib and Nilotinib). Venous blood sampling done for BCR-ABL kinase domain mutations screening. four patients from cases group (4/45) were carriers of one of five selected ABL kinase domain mutations and no one of control group. T315I mutation was detected in 3/45 (6.6 %) of resistant patients, with a significant risk association to develop resistance to TKI therapy (odd ratio and C. I. ) (6.67, 0.3340 -133.2255). E255V was detected in 1/45 ( 2.2 %) and also had significant risk association to develop resistance to TKIs( odd ratio, C.I.) (2.73, 0.1081 -68.9424). No one of these mutation had significance correlation with demographic or hematological features. M351T, E255K and M244V were not detected in any one of our study groups CML patients. T315I and E255V among five ABL kinas domain mutations were detected in our CML patients with resistance to TKIs.

Published: October 2019

The Alton Kopri Basin is an important and significant water basin in Kirkuk governorate where most of the area demand like drinking, agricultural, grazing, and industrial are depending on it. the basin consist of two main aquifers the upper aquifer formed by Quaternary deposits and the lower confined aquifer formed by Muqdadyi and Bai Hassan formations, the hydrological conditions for the lower aquifer changed laterally from confined to semi-confined down to unconfined from the center of the basin to northeast of the area. Flow direction from northeast to northwest coincident with topographic elevation trend. The annual groundwater recharge estimated by chloride mass balance method is (124 mm).It is important to assess the potential of ground water for pollution. For this purpose intrinsic vulnerability was assessed using SINTACS model with the aid of geographic information system (GIS) techniques. The final results show that two zones moderate and high vulnerability classes dominant the study area in the case of normal scenario occupied area are 423 km2and 649 km2respectively, the relevant scenarios represents with two categories, moderate category occupy 491 km2and high category occupy 549 km2. Three zones low, moderate, and high characterizes the nitrate scenario with 77 km2, 523 km2and 440 km2respectively, the SINTACS is the most subjective because of the wide range of the rating of some parameters. The high vulnerability zone exists in the most part of the basin center, where the unconfined upper aquifers exist. Accordingly, the impact of aquifer media, soil texture, and vadose zone is the most effective parameters in SINTACS model.

Enhanced Oil Recovery in Iraqi Limestone Formation by Intermittent Injection of Xanthan.
Authors: Qays Haider , Ahmed Ruya
Published: October 2019

Enhanced oil recovery consists of three major methods which are miscible Method, thermal method and chemical method. Polymer flooding is considered as one of the chemical method which is economical compared to other methods. The main objective of this project is to determine the optimum polymer concentration that will bring in the most recovery of a large full-field flooding project at Ahdeb oil field. Thus, the (1) polymer concentration, (2) polymer solution viscosity, and (3) polymer injection rate affects towards oil recovery are investigated. This investigation will solely base on the outcome from the Simulator. The main difficulty in the recovery of oil is the viscosity of oil is higher than injection fluid viscosity, which makes displacement by a low-cost fluid, such as water or gas; inefficient on account of the “unfavorable” mobility ratio (i.e. mobility of the injected fluid is greater than the mobility of the oil). Since improvement in the mobility ratio is the ultimate goal, viscosity of the injected fluid is increased by addition of soluble polymer. The polymer concentrations were varied so that different polymer solution viscosity can be injected into the model. Apart from improvement in the mobility ratio, average pressure of the reservoir will also be maintained for as long as possible, which would lead to an improvement in the oil recovery. In accordance to that, the injection rates of displacing fluid play an important role in maintaining Average reservoir pressure and also the period of polymer flooding. The scope of the study will mainly focus on the polymer injection-water cut relationship. The research methodology used in this study is by varying polymer concentration, polymer solution viscosity and the polymer injection rate, the resulting cumulative oil production and average reservoir pressure will be taken into consideration for each case.From the optimized model, it shows that increment in polymer solution viscosity (increment in polymer solution concentration) increases the oil recovery, but when it exceeds its optimum point, oil recovery stabilized. There are a total of six cases run in this study concerning the polymer solution concentration. It proves that the addition of polymer concentration can give additional recovery up to a certain level, before it maintained. Adjusting the injection rate will be constrained by polymer concentration to maintain the injection bottom-hole pressure below formation fracture pressure since higher concentration requires more energy to move the polymer consequently increase the injection bottom hole pressure. In summary, Polymer flooding allows more oil recovered from the mature oil fields to maintain high oil production. If verified by experiment, this model of polymer behavior may have impact on reducing the residual oil saturation and consequently increase the economic life of the fields.

Published: October 2019

A laboratory experiment was carried out and repeated at field of College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, University of Baghdad in 2017. First factor was three cultivars of lupine ‘Giza-1’, ‘Giza-2’ and ‘Hamburg’. Second factor was three seed weights (lower weight, medium weight and higher weight) which was following the cultivars factor. Nested design was used. Results showed supremacy of ‘Giza-1’ cultivar significantly and gave higher germination ratio, radical length, seedling dry weight, seedling vigour index, field emergence ratio, plant height and number of leaves per plant. The treatment (‘Giza-1’×higher seed weight) was supremacy significantly and gave higher germination ratio, radical length, plumule length, and seedling vigour index, while the treatment (‘Giza-1’×lower seed weight) was supremacy significantly and gave higher seedling dry weight, field emergence ratio and number of leaves per plant. It can be concluded that the studied cultivars have potential energy related to the nature of their genotype, which makes them different in their behavior under laboratory and field conditions. The interaction between cultivar and seed weight has a role at the variance of this behavior under a wide range of environmental conditions. Therefore, it can be recommended to cultivate seeds with a lower weight of Giza-1.

Published: October 2019

Due to various disturbing factors affecting data reception, telemetry information often contains outliers and lost entries. Detection of outliers and anomalies is one of the key problems of satellite data analysis. A comparison of several statistical methods of outlier detection in telemetric information on the power supply system, obtained from the “AIST” small satellites, was carried out for the purpose of increasing the accuracy of satellite’s systems monitoring based on the telemetry data. The structure of telemetry from the power supply and thermal control systems of the “AIST” small satellites was analyzed. Several statistical methods for outlier detection were studied. Methods, described in the paper, allow to detect fast acting changes in telemetry data from “AIST” small satellites.

On the using M-BCJR demodulation for partial response signalling followed by decoding of LDPC codes
Authors: Nguyen T H P
Published: October 2019

This paper studies various sub-optimal versions of BCJR demodulator to examine the possibility of computational reduction. BCJR demodulator is used to deal with intentional intersymbol interference in bandwidth efficient systems. The complexity of BCJR demodulator can be reduced by using the approximation in the logarithm domain and by considering less number of trellis states instead of full states. To estimate the performance of different types of BCJR demodulator, we proposed the partial response signalling system with finite shaping pulse providing 10% gain of bandwidth efficiency. The simulation results of this study show that in the case without error correction coding the complexity of BCJR demodulator can be significantly decreased without energy losses. When low-density parity-check coding is used, it is possible to use these sub-optimal versions of BCJR demodulator, but the system may suffer additional energy losses.

Microalgae oil can replace the role of fish and other vegetable oils. One of them is lipid in microalgae Chlorella vulgaris. This study aims to determine the composition of fatty acids in marine microalgae Chlorella vulgaris grown in fertilizer medium. Cultivation was carried out at room temperature, photoperiode 12:12 (dark: light); light intensity 10.000 lux and aerated for 24 hour. The optimum medium used was medium GMF fertilizer with concentration 10% (w/v). Lipid extraction used Blight-Dryer method with methanol, chloroform and aquadest as solvent. The lipid obtained was esterified by NaOH in methanol and H2SO4 as a catalyst for 12 hours and analyzed used GC-FID with capric acid as a standard. The analysis result shows that was 18 fatty acid methyl ester compounds. The highest known fatty acid methyl esters compositions was 61.52% methyl stearate; 15.52% methyl palmitate; 4,69% methyl eicosanoate and 3.34% methyl heptadecanoate from total fatty acids. The unsaturated fatty acids identified were 0.17%. EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) also 0.23% omega 3 and omega 6. Microalgae grown in a fertilizer medium produce quite high lipids. Although the levels of unsaturated fatty acids are still low, it does not rule out the possibility of being increased.

Published: October 2019

In this paper, we report our investigation effect of concentration of silver nanowires (AgNWs) solution on the AgNWs thin films coated onto a glass substrate by simple Meyer-rod coating. Diameter and length of AgNWs have used about 120 nm and 20 to 30 µm, respectively. Concentration of AgNWs were variated of 186 mg/ml, 210 mg/ml, and 223 mg/ml in ethanol solution. AgNWs thin films then were heated at temperature 90 °C for 20 min. The UV-vis spectrophotometry, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and four-point-probe were employed to characterize the AgNWs thin films. The result shows that concentration of AgNWs solution affects on the transmittance and a sheet resistance of the AgNWs thin films. The transmittance at the wavelength of 550 nm is obtained 94.5% by a sheet resistance about 1.2 Ω/sq. The higher concentration of AgNWs solution can decrease the sheet resistance and the transparency of the AgNWs thin films.
