Bioavailability Of Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles To Raphanus Sativus L. In Two Soils., Weilan Zhang, Craig Musante, Jason C. White, Paul Schwab, Qiang Wang, Stephen D. Ebbs, Xingmao Ma

Publications

Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NP) are a common component of many commercial products. Due to the general concerns over the potential toxicity of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs), the phytotoxicity and in planta accumulation of CeO2 NPs have been broadly investigated. However, most previous studies were conducted in hydroponic systems and with grain crops. For a few studies performed with soil grown plants, the impact of soil properties on the fate and transport of CeO2 NPs was generally ignored even though numerous previous studies indicate that soil properties play a critical role in the fate and transport of environmental pollutants. The objectives …

Euphrates River Floods In Iraqi Parliament Discussions 1925-1943 Ad, Ahmed Ibrahim Mohammed Mustafa Al Mustafa

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

Historians have been generous with the pearls that have matured in their minds, which have been lined up together to form a scientific legacy that has documented the country's history with its joys and sorrows, so that later generations have taken an interest in studying what their predecessors overlooked. Studying natural disasters and their impact on the country is a matter of great importance, and perhaps the studies provided by the country's geographers and historians are sufficient to achieve that importance. However, focusing on the positions of the legislative authority and the interaction of its components with the challenges of …

Frand V. Compulsory Licensing: The Lesser Of The Two Evils, Srividhya Ragavan, Brendan Murphy, Raj Davé Dec 2015

Frand V. Compulsory Licensing: The Lesser Of The Two Evils, Srividhya Ragavan, Brendan Murphy, Raj Davé

Duke Law & Technology Review

This paper focuses on two types of licenses that can best be described as outliers—FRAND and compulsory licenses. Overall, these two specific forms of licenses share the objective of producing a fair and reasonable license of a technology protected by intellectual property. The comparable objective notwithstanding, each type of license achieves this end using different mechanisms. The FRAND license emphasizes providing the licensee with reasonable terms, e.g., by preventing a standard patent holder from extracting unreasonably high royalty rates. By contrast, compulsory licenses emphasize the public benefit that flows from enabling access to an otherwise inaccessible invention. Ultimately, both forms …

Semantics Of The Consistency Of The Discourse With The Analysis Of Poems From The Collection (Extinguish Me With Your Fire) By The Poet Yahya Al-Samawi, Basma Khayri Khadir Dec 2015

Semantics Of The Consistency Of The Discourse With The Analysis Of Poems From The Collection (Extinguish Me With Your Fire) By The Poet Yahya Al-Samawi, Basma Khayri Khadir

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

There are many trends concerned with text analysis, and multiple schools of thought have been adopted. Some of them are interested in formal coherence, relying on grammatical and lexical linking tools, and this trend is represented by (Halliday and Raqiya Hassan). We believe that these tools are not sufficient to achieve textuality, and there must be linking tools concerned with the coherence of the text, the semantic consistency of its sentences, and their hierarchy within a larger textual structure behind which a larger meaning is hidden, representing the theme of the text. This coherence is achieved through a set of …

The Existence And Intangibility Of Authenticity And Credibility Among The Philosophers Of Islam, A Comparative Study Between Al-Farabi And Sadr Al-Din Al-Shirazi, Saleh Mehdi Jaber Al-Zalimi Dec 2015

The Existence And Intangibility Of Authenticity And Credibility Among The Philosophers Of Islam, A Comparative Study Between Al-Farabi And Sadr Al-Din Al-Shirazi, Saleh Mehdi Jaber Al-Zalimi

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

This research paper addresses the concepts of existence and essence, two concepts that philosophy has explored in great depth and detail. Both the Greek schools of philosophy and Islamic thinkers and scholars have examined these concepts. Indeed, philosophy itself has sometimes been defined as "the science of being, as being." Here, "being" is a clear and simple concept, requiring no particular effort or concentration to understand. Essence, on the other hand, is what answers the question "what is it?" or "what is its nature?" It is, in other words, a description of the true nature of the thing in question. …

The Culture Of Environmental Awareness And The Nature Of Social Life In Iraqi Society: A Field Social Research In The City Of Diwaniyah, Nabil Imran Musa Al Khalidi

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

The environment is the surroundings or milieu in which a human being is born, grows up, and lives until his life ends and he is buried in its soil. God has endowed man with biological characteristics that distinguish him from other creatures. God created it in a balanced form that ensures the satisfaction of human needs and requirements. When population growth increased, and with it, human desires and ambitions, it began to deplete the environment's resources without regard for the right of future generations to benefit from environmental resources. Recently, the interest of all human societies in the environment has …

Humanization Of Time In The Pre-Islamic Era, The Knight Poets As A Choice, Mohammed Fleih Hassan Al-Jubouri, Maher Sabbar Fahd Dec 2015

Humanization Of Time In The Pre-Islamic Era, The Knight Poets As A Choice, Mohammed Fleih Hassan Al-Jubouri, Maher Sabbar Fahd

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

The knight poets of the pre-Islamic era turned to creative means that helped them to enable the reader to read the text correctly, in line with the reading of model texts. Among these creative constructive means is (humanization of things), by which we mean giving the poet life with all that surrounds him of material and moral beings. The knight poets attributed human qualities to inanimate and living things, giving them human qualities, which made them converse and complain, as they became effective in the text. We also see them attribute this characteristic to the material of time and its …

The Grammatical Views Of Ibn Malkoun (D. 580 Or 581 Ah), Shukran Hamd Shalaka Dec 2015

The Grammatical Views Of Ibn Malkoun (D. 580 Or 581 Ah), Shukran Hamd Shalaka

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

Grammatical studies have varied in their topics, trends, and objectives. Some of them focused on the flags of grammatical thought in which the Easterners took the lead, and they come to mind when talking about the flags of grammatical thought. This is what prompted me to choose a flag of Moroccan grammar, who was popular among his peers and contemporaries, and students crowded into his council. The journey of knowledge ended with him, so the title was: Ibn Malkun (d. 580 AH or 581 AH) and his grammatical views.

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

Since the proverb is a constantly monitoring authority that supports homosexual behaviors and suppresses reprehensible ones in order to aspire to societal systems that are described as positive in their visions and aspirations, this research starts from the homosexual connotations of animal words, passing through their contextual manifestations with the aim of arriving at the emotional and behavioral data, whether positive or negative, that those connotations can contain.

The Bakhtiari tribes are one of the most important tribes in southern Iran, inhabiting a geographical area that includes northern and eastern Ahvaz and some of the provinces of Lorestan, Chahar Mahal Bakhtiari, and Isfahan. These tribes are distinguished by their political fabric and social organization. The geographical, political, and economic location of the Bakhtiari tribes attracted the attention of major powers, especially Britain, which had the greatest interests and influence in the region.

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

The religious authority in Najaf al-Ashraf represents the highest religious institution to which Shiite Muslims refer in their religious and political affairs in many cases, in addition to being an important intellectual center that preserved the Arabic culture, language, and thought from distortion during the Ottoman occupation.

Pottery Plates From The Ancient Babylonian Era, Jabbar Alivi Lefteh, Shaima Youssef Issa

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

The study of clay tablets in Mesopotamia in general, and the Old Babylonian period (1594-2400 BC) in particular, is an important artistic subject in Mesopotamian civilization, as they reveal important aspects of the nature of society and provide insight into its religious, political, and social structure. They are therefore a fundamental document relied upon not only in the field of history, but also in the field of arts, due to the artistic themes and content they contain. The reason for choosing the Old Babylonian period for the study is that it was one of the most important eras in which …

Spatial Organization Of Al Muthani Governorate Assembly Elections For Two Terms (2013-2009), Mahdi Falih Nasser Al-Safi, Ahmed Hasan Mahool Al-Hasnawi

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

Every geographer seeks to spatially organize the electoral process, as it is not possible to produce a fair and effective electoral process unless there is a set of precise scientific procedures and rules that can be relied upon in determining the size of the population and organizing the voters’ register who are entitled to vote. Therefore, the geographical purpose of spatially organizing each electoral process is to highlight patterns of spatial variation on maps in terms of the distribution of voters to polling centers and stations with the aim of measuring the fairness of this geographical distribution, in addition to …

Indicators Of Educational Services Development In Al-Haidariyah City, Arej Bahjat Ahmed

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

The concept of services is one of the concepts that has received great attention recently due to the increasing human need for such services, especially after the development of technologies and methods used in providing such services. Interest in studying services was limited to general aspects, as is the case with engineering studies that deal with the study of the design of service buildings (schools, hospitals, and entertainment centers). Therefore, service students differ in their approach to studying the principle of services, each according to his knowledge and specialization.

Childbirth And Its Relationship To Some Social Variables: A Social Field Study Of Married Women In The City Of Diwaniyah, Hana Hassan Sedkhan Al-Badri

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

Iraqis' positive attitudes toward childbearing have shifted somewhat as a result of the objective and subjective changes that society has experienced. Iraqis have become less inclined to have a large number of children per family, as the average family size has shrunk. This decline was due to several factors, including the use of family planning programs (contraceptive methods). The use of these methods has become widespread in most middle-class families, especially after women entered the workforce and took on multiple roles. Previously, they occupied a single role that was no more than that of housewife. However, things have changed, as …

The subject of the other has variable capabilities that acquire new colors. If the other is known to be opposite to the self, the self may be the creator of it through various techniques, including: myth and symbolism, which are carried by the literary achievement of the Andalusian poet Ibn Hani, as if the poetic self finds itself in it to embody another self that the writer extracts, forming a level of the levels of the other that is manifested from the poetic self and what it possesses of cultural and popular stock.
