The present work aimed to investigate two cytological aspects of the antifungal Griseofulvin (GRF) in the ascomycetous fungus Aspergillus amstelodami. The first was its ability to induce nuclear fusion and produce heterozygous diploids in the heterokaryotic mycelia, the second was its ability to induce haploidization of such diploids. To that end four sublethal or subinhibitory concentrations 500, 1000, 1250, 1500 g/ml were tested. Within the experimental conditions specified in the present work none of these two endpoints was fulfilled.

Six parents (Pandas, Gemeny, Saberbey, 69-S3, 35-S6, and Kvz/Cgn) and their F2 hybrids obtained by the selfing of F1 ,S from half diallel wheat crosses were used to estimate general combining ability for their F2 hybrids, gene effect through variance components and graphical analysis for maturity time, plant height, grain yield ,number of spikes / plant, spike length, 100-grain weight and number of grains spike. Seeds of parental varieties and their f2 generations from diallel crosses were grown at the plant experimental station, College of Education, Mosul University, during the growing season (2003-2004) according to the Randomized complete Block design with four replications, under rainfall conditions. The results showed highly significant variances for both general and specific combining abilities for all studied characters, this indicates the presence of additive and non-additive gene effects for these characters. Narrow sense heritability values ranged from 0.15 for number of grains / spike to 0.73 for 100-grain weight. The average degree of dominance and the graphic analysis revealed the partial dominance for 100-grain weight and over dominance for the remaining characters.

Two layeres coatings were prepared one of them is from different metal oxides (TiO2, Fe2O3, ZnO, MgO, CuO, CdO, Ni2O3, MnO2) and the other is from ferrite powder (MnFe2O4) for each sample. Absorption measurements for electromagnetic (EM) waves in the frequency range (8-12.5)GHz were achieved by the standing wave ratio SWR instrument. In addition a study of the effect in exchanging the oxide layer with the ferrite powder layer when they are radiated by (EM) waves. It was noticed that the oxide layer (MnO2) and the oxide layer (Ni2O3) were the best among other prepared samples as they posses nearly equal absorption values with the ferrite layer when they are subjected to the (EM) waves directly and in exchange with the ferrite layer. The (MnO2) oxide with the ferrite showed an absorption value of (87%) at the frequency range (10.2-11.4)GHz, while the (Ni2O3) oxide with the ferrite showed an absorption value of (80.5%) at the frequency range (10.8-12.4)GHz in comparison with other prepared samples.

In this research the optical properties of PMMA/BDK/MR system have been studied. This system was prepared from the Azo-dye of methyl red (MR) in different degrees of acidity and doped with poly methyl methacylate (PMMA). Benzyl dimethyl ketal (BDK) was used as photoinitiartor at certain rates of size, and studying its optical characterstics by using the variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry. The results show that increasing of basic concentrations of the system the ground energy increases compered with the increasing of acidic concentrations system this leads to decreased of the wave lengths than, and this in turn leads to increase of the storage ability than the data. From this we can conclude that the disks which prepared by basic concentrations are better those prepared at acidic than concentrations.
