The rehabilitation of an existing cracked pavement made of asphalt can be simply done by the installation of new asphalt layers. Due to external forces from traffic and natural temperature variations, existing cracks or joints rapidly propagate out of the old pavement into the new asphalt overlay.
Breast cancer is the commonest cancer affecting women worldwide. Different studies have dealt with the etiological factors of that cancer aiming to find a way for early diagnosis and satisfactory therapy. The present study investigated the relationship between genetic
polymorphisms of BRCA1 & BRCA2 genes and evaluation of some etiological risk factors among breast cancer patients in Iraq. This investigation was carried out on 25 patients (all were females) who were confirmatory for breast cancer by histopathological examinations
The design and evaluation of pavement structures require a significant amount of supporting data such as subgrade material properties density and cohesion. The present study is undertaken to prepare thematic maps in order to predict the important parameters used in highway pavement design, geometric design, feasibility and other construction projects taking advantage of the ability of GIS tools by using soil investigation reports as a database. Also, these maps are useful in determining the unsuitable soil materials’ position for subgrade in order to avoid or treat any problem.
