Among the activities of the cultural season of our center, Engineer Ali Nasser Ali gave a seminar entitled "Magnetic agriculture" on Monday, 19/2/2018 on the blue hall in the center, where he summarized his lecture as follows:

Magnetic techniques are used to generate a strong magnetic field that is exposed to seeds or plants to increase germination and growth rates and to resist conditions unsuitable for growth by means of specific devices. For example, there are devices used to magnetize the seeds before germination to make them more lively. Seedlings are also exposed in some species such as palm and tomato during the phase of the magnetic field to improve the growth of these seedlings and vary the duration and strength of exposure depending on the purpose as well as depending on the quality of the plant material, whether seeds or seedlings or seedlings. The advantages of magnetized water: Prevent the formation of calcareous deposits in the irrigation pipes and increase the rates of germination of seeds and increase the retention of soil water and increase the efficiency of irrigation and reduce the amount of irrigation by about 30% and raise the efficiency of salt washing in the soil and increase the efficiency of fertilizer which means less costs and fertilizer easier to absorb fertilizer and increase oxygen In the soil and helps solve the problem of compaction of soil, which accumulates over time and works to increase the growth of roots as a result of increased absorption of nutrients dissolved faster and thus helps to grow the plant and increase the average yield by 40-50% and reduce the proportion of plant disease by 60-70% J Of injury nematode larvae and kills where is the full insect from the root zone.

Among the activities of the cultural season of our center .. Physiologist Ali Adel Jassim delivered a panel discussion entitled "Natural Radiation in Food" on Monday 12/2/2018 at the Blue Hall in the center, where he summarized his lecture as follows:

Technically, all food is slightly radioactive. This is because all food and other organic molecules contain carbon, which naturally exists as a mixture of isotopes, including radioactive carbon-14. However, some foods emit much more radiation than others such as Ra-226, K-40 …etc. In this lecture we introduce some naturally radioactive foods and how much radiation we get from them.

Dr. Abdul Hamid Mohammed Jawad Al-Obaidi was elected as a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Arab Union for Sustainable Development and Environment (AUSDE) and a member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Scientific Research and Sustainable Development Issued by the Arab Union for Environment and Sustainable Development.

The Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials Research Center, in collaboration with the Environmental Research Center, organized the scientific symposium entitled "Sound Management of Scientific Research and Participation in International Conferences" on Monday 25/12/2017 at the University of Technology Theater where Prof. Abdul Hamid Mohammed Jawad Al Obeidi, A lecture titled "Skills of writing scientific research" in which he talked about the method of writing scientific research and the correct methods followed by reading the international journals.
