The Reality Of The Agricultural Sector In Iraq And Challenges Facing The Future, Abdulrazzaq Majeed Al-Dubaissi

Journal of Economics and Administrative Sciences

For over half a century, Iraqi society has endeavored to reinvest tens of billions of dollars in oil revenues into the agricultural sector and its infrastructure, including the construction of dams, water reservoirs, land reclamation, and livestock and plant production projects, reaching capacities that nearly met or exceeded the domestic demand for food and industrial raw materials. However, rapid population growth alongside rising oil-driven income levels has shifted domestic demand, necessitating a continuous developmental trajectory for the agricultural sector. Consequently, this research examines the developments within both the plant and livestock branches over recent years and their ability to sustain …

Birth Weight, Math And Reading Achievement Growth: A Multilevel Between-Sibling, Between-Families Approach, Bridget J. Goosby, Jacob Cheadle

Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications

We used multilevel covariance structure analysis to study the relationship between birth weight, family context and youth math and reading comprehension growth from approximately ages 5 through 14 within and between families. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Child Sample, we examined the relationship between birth weight and subsequent academic achievement growth disparities, distinguishing between birth weight and other contextual social confounders. We found that smaller birth weight is associated with lower math and reading scores at age 5. Additional findings indicated that the home environment has important developmental consequences from early childhood and into adolescence. Overall, …

Detoxification Of Jatropha Curcas Press Cake Throough Heat, Chemical Solvent, And Fermentation, With Preliminary Feed Testing In Tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus L.), Stephanie Ferrer. Nunez

Undergraduate Theses

Studies show that Jatropha curcas press cake has high crude protein content of 53-58%. However, the cake has been found to be very toxic to fish, rats, and chickens. Jatropha press cake was detoxified using heat treatment, solvent extraction and fermentation with mix microbial inoculants for three weeks. Using Tilapia fingerlings (Oreochromis niloticusa L.), a two-week experiments was conducted to evaluate the nutritional quality of the detoxified Jatropha press cake.
