Sedimentology and Stratigraphy of the Sargelu Formation (Middle Jurassic) from Two Selected Sections – Iraqi Kurdistan Region

Abstract Sedimentology and stratigraphy of the Sargelu Formation (Middle Jurassic) period in two sections (Warte and Barzewa) which are located 35 and 12 kilometers east of Soran, respectively, in the Erbil Governorate. The Sargelu Formation comprises three different types of rock. The lower part is made up of thin to medium-bedded destructive dolomite intercalated with

Novel Molecular Insights of the miRNA-146a Gene and Its Relation to Carcinogenesis EGFR Mutated Gene in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in Kurdistan Region – Iraq

SUMMARY Globally, lung cancer has the highest mortality rate compared to all other forms of cancer. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the 2nd major cause of cancer-related deaths in Iraq and all over the world due to its delayed diagnosis. It is still unclear exactly which molecular mechanisms drive the progression and spread of NSCLC.

Downregulation of Quorum Sensing and Biofilm Genes in Multi-Drug Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii by Biogenic Silver Nanoparticles

Summary Prolonged overuse and misuse of antibiotics, ineffective infection control strategies, and lack of new drug development have led to the occurrence of a phenomenon known as antibiotic resistance. Recently, Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) emerged as an ESKAPE pathogen of utmost significance in nosocomial settings where they cause various infections with mortality rates as high as 80%.

Dynamical study of the COVID-19 Model as an Application of Differential Equation

Summary In this study, we investigate the COVID-19 biological model, which was developed using data from Wuhan, Portugal, and Spain. The ordinary differential model and fractional differential model are separetely studied. The purpose of first part is to investigate the model’s stability using different approaches. The second is devoted to demonstrate the existence and uniqueness

Evaluation of Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase and Cystathionine γ-lyase Gene Mutations in Lung Adenocarcinoma Patients

SUMMARY Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common type of lung cancer and it is one of the main causes of cancer deaths globally, it is characterized by distinct cellular and molecular features. LUAD gene mutations could influence carcinogenesis, metastasis, and treatment outcomes. The purpose of this research is to identify new gene mutations in
