The old heritage of Alhadba Minaret in Mosul is famous for its considerable height and leaning. After approximately 800 years since its construction still withstanding degradation. It has to be clearly documented for restoration and maintenance works. Defining geometry and measurements using traditional surveying methods is not feasible due to its height and delicate surface. This paper introduces the results of measurements using robotic reflectorless total station of TOPCON (IS-Imaging Station) conducted in and around the minaret. We present new facts regarding the descriptions of shape and curvature of the minaret body as well as specific notes on using this instrument. These measurements compose a complementary part of data collection effort required for a major preservation project that is proposed to be conducted in the future.

Historical Buildings are result of human thoughts and culture, also Considered that nations have been always known and studied through their culture and civilization, it is reasonable to state that architecture is an important entrance to understand privacy of specific society that have been formed through an interaction among social, economic and other aspects. technology evolved much further than anytime Accordingly, It is clear how crucially important to think in a certain way to deal with those building, to protect, revive and work to improve its sustainability and convenience by using advanced techniques and technologies, also to measure how suitable it is to being preserved by those techniques. Consequently, reaching to a reasonable and clear method to achieve its preservation and to preserve its historical and various properties. As a result, the general axis for the research is identified with: The existence of informative gap in the current method of urban preservation, while the research’s problem is the lack of clarity in the informative knowledge that should be available to achieve the protective preservation (Sustainable) for architectural heritage. Accordingly, that shows the research’s target clearly, that is to identify suitable advanced methods to achieve the protective preservation (Sustainable) for architectural heritage. The research depends on analytic and descriptive method, which includes forming an informative theoretical framework about the historical and heritage architectural buildings, preservation, protective preservation (Sustainable) and to brief most important variables and indications for each term. Accordingly, the research has conducted that preservation of historical and heritage buildings is related to design in the first place, and it is possible for creative thoughts and techniques to vary according to the design vision. And analyzing those thoughts within functional variables, as well as temporal and spatial enriching have shown that whenever taking a decision for a functional change, the new function turns up with clarity and purposely, which comes with a clear program and undergoes to the protective preservation’s terms when preserved and directed.

ABSTRACT Two isolates Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were used in this study, Results showed that bacteria treated with 100 mM Trehalose was able to preserved S.aureus from drying for one month in room temperature, while no effect was observed in the Trehalose treated E.coli. Results also indicated that Trehalose preservative effects were for month. The survival percentage of S.aureus treated with Trehalose after 1 month was 67% compared with the control 30%, while the results of E.coli was 66% compared with the control 32%. Results also indicated that Trehalose can protect the lyophilized bacteria stored in room Temperature for 4 months. The percentage of the viable cells of bacteria was 27% compared with the control 2%. Results also revealed that the protective effects of Trehalose reduced the lethal effects of UV Irradiation. Results indicated that S.aureus treated with Trehalose was more resistance to Tetracycline, Gentamycin, Erythromycin and Norfoxacin, Antibiotics in comparison with the control treatment, while no effect was indicated in the trehalose treated E.coli resistance ability to these antibiotics.

Alhadba minaret in mosul is one of the oldest islamic monuments with its surprising curvature, height and old age of over 800 years. During the past 50 years there was a considerable amount of leaning in the minaret due to various natural and human causes. The amount of leaning was generally increasing but there was no unified or fixed control that is referenced from various monitoring groups. This paper describes the effort to design and implement a monitoring system that can be referred in the future. Fixed control points and targets have been worked. Samples of monitoring results are presented. These measurements compose a complementary part of the data collection effort required for a major preservation project that is proposed to be conducted in the future.

Frozen semen quality is one of many factors that promote successfully of artificial insemination. Preservation at 5ºC is one of the steps of semen freezing to obtain high fertility sperm after added with the extender. This study was aimed to determined the sperm quality (motility, viability, and membrane integrity), MDA level and DNA damage of post-thawed sperm after being preserved at 5ºC for different duration. Bali cattle bull semen collected by artificial vagina. Macroscopic and microscopic evaluation of ejaculate was conducted first. Qualified semen was diluted in Tris Aminomethan-Egg yolk and then devided into two treatment group: preserved at 5ºC for 4 hours (first group) and 22 hours (second group), and continued to processed into frozen semen, and stored overnight. Pre-freezing and post-thawed of semen analysis was conducted based on SNI: 4869-1:2017 of The National Standardization Agency of Indonesia. Measurement of levels of Malondialdehyde (MDA) was conducted by spectrophotometry at 532 nm wavelength, meanwhile measurement of sperms DNA damage percentage was performed by Toluidine blue staining. The result of showed that quality of post-thawed sperm (motility, viability, and membrane integrity) was higher (P<0.05), and MDA level and DNA damage were lower (P<0.05) in preservation at 5°C for 22 hours compared to those of 4 hours. It could be concluded that preservation at 5°C longer (22 hours) means sperm had longer chance to adapt with the extender, this implies the higher quality and lower lipid peroxidation.

Observations on the sperm biology of Bunnei (Barbus sharpeyi), after hormone injection perm activity for the injected fish ranged between 85 % - 100 %. The most amazing finding was the sperm activity of the collected semen from deceased fish after one hour was 90 %, and it has the highest activity time(120 sec.), this time was higher than that for the Bunnei from Al-Therthar reservoir during spawning season. The sperm volume was very low (1- 0.4 ml). which is a characteristic of this species. The sperm concentration ranged between (25.85 - 40.69) × 109 , and it is also higher than that for Bunnei in Al-Therthar reservoir.

A total of thirty specimens of Barbus luteus (Heckel, 1843) from Qurna Marshes north of Basrah in November 2008 were collected. Seven morphometric characters (total length, standard length, body depth, head length, body width, snout length and eye diameter) of specimens were measured to determine the effect of freezing and preservation during the study period (11 week). The different preservatives were prepared as follows: 10% formalin, 70% alcohol and freezing experiment. The results showed three types of effects on morphometric characters: Shrinkage, increase and no effect, the greatest shrinkage was noticed in body depth of specimens which preserved in 10% formalin, the greatest increase was in head length of specimens which preserved in freezing and no effect was noticed in snout length and eye diameter which preserved in 10% formalin and total length which preserved in freezing.

ABSTRACT:BACKGROUND:As an alternative to the standard of care for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, certain bladder preservations protocols should be offered to patients with significant co morbidities or for those keening intact bladder and not so compliant with cystectomy approach provided that they included in strict criteria.OBJECTIVE:To review the efficacy of bladder preservation therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) for selected patients by non-randomized prospective study over two years follow up period.METHODS: A study started from a January -2014 until October -2016, twenty eight Patients were included in combined prospective and retrospective manner; they were included within those two years. Patients were confirmed having muscle invasive disease if initial TURBT or the 2nd look TURBT specimens were showed a muscle invasive bladder cancer. All candidates included in bladder preservation strategies shared common strict inclusions criteria. Cisplatin-based chemotherapy and split- course chemo radiation therapy then was offered for all patients after radical TURBT and re assessment carried out after the 3rd cycle of chemotherapy and or 40 GY radiotherapy 3 months later, patients with response after 2nd look TUR were offered other 20 GY radiotherapy.RESULTS: Initial clinical response was assessed after 3 months from initial resection (after completion of 3 cycle chemotherapy). Those were subjected to preservation trial, 22(78.5 %) achieved complete response, 4(14.3%) achieved partial response, and 2(7.1%) had no response. Out of responsive group (22 patients), two patients developed recurrent pattern, one of them at first year and another one in the second year, so for over all response assessment obtained for two years there were 28 patients : Twenty patients (72%) were cancer clear, Eight patients (28%) had failed response. No mortality recorded at the study period. All recurrent cases were offered salvage radical cystectomy.CONCLUSION: Bladder preservation protocols in selected patients with MIBC might be an effective alternative to standard radical cystectomy with pelvic lymph nodes dissection in controlling low volume favorable invasive and high grade multifocal bladder tumors in up to 70 % of patients..
