Comparative Structural Studies Among Selective Folds in Different Tectonic Folded Zones-Kurdistan Region-NE Iraq

Abstract The study area as a part of Arabian plate, is located in the northwestern part of the Zagros Fold-and Thrust Belt within the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. This area comprises four thrusted anticlines includes Asos, Kosrat, Dokan, and Taq Taq along with adjoining synclines, which are distributed across three different tectonic zones: the Imbricated,

Association of CSF1R, MYD88 and TNFα Gene Mutations and Expression Levels with B Cell Markers in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Summary           B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas are a haematologically, genetically, and clinically heterogeneous group of neoplasms, with most emerging from B lymphocytes in the germinal centre. It accounts for approximately 90% of all non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas. Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, follicular lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma are typical B-NHL subtypes. The current study

The Antibacterial Activity of Biosynthesized Silver Nanoparticles Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated from Burn and Wound-Infections

SUMMARY In this study, the Lactobacillus reuteri bacterium was isolated from probiotic powder (containing different Lactobacillus strains and Saccharomyces), in addition to producing of extracellular extract and intracellular extract from this isolate. The isolate was cultured on Man Rogosa Sharpe (MRS) agar after growth and then identified by microscopic examination, biochemical tests and molecular assay. Biologically, the extracellular

Effects of Growth Factors on some Physiological Growth Characteristics of Horehound (Marrubium vulgare L.) and its Chemical Constituents’ Efficiency against Cancer Cells

Abstract Vegetative growth, chemical compositions, biological and antioxidant activities of plants are widely affected by several environment parameters and conditions, therefore, this study was designed to determine the effects of Light intensity, soil moisture and benzyl adenine hormone on the growth parameters of M.vulgare L. medicinal plant. The study consisted of  six experiments, the first experiment was

Air Quality Modeling and Risk Assessment of Some Pollutants on Human Health Using a Cross-Sectional Survey in Erbil City

Abstract Air pollution is a significant global problem, particularly in the Kurdistan region due to rapid urbanization, industrial activities, and vehicle emissions. This study aimed to measure indoor and outdoor SO2 and NO2 levels during summer and winter, predict indoor SO2 concentrations using air quality models, and assess health risks through biomarker analysis. It also evaluated the carcinogenic
