Abstract

This article presents a comprehensive study conducted in Samarra and Al-Dour districts, focusing on the impact of agricultural components on development. The study aims to identify and analyze the natural, human, and economic obstacles that impede agricultural progress in the region. Through questionnaire data analysis, several key findings emerge. Natural factors such as inadequate rainfall, arid soil conditions, and soil salinization pose significant challenges to agricultural development. Insufficient utilization of water resources further exacerbates these constraints. Agricultural pests also cause substantial damage to crops, leading to farmer abandonment of agricultural practices. Roughly 30-35% of cultivated areas are affected. Moreover, a decline in agricultural labor is observed, with individuals deterred by constraints and limited financial returns. The increasing population in the region intensifies food demand and pressures agricultural land for housing, compounding challenges for farmers. Water scarcity emerges as a primary constraint, leading to neglect of agricultural areas due to inadequate irrigation. Progressive soil salinization and desertification, influenced by natural and human factors, worsen the situation. Approximately 22.38 km² of land are affected, particularly in eastern and southern Samarra and eastern Al-Dour. The study underscores the need for targeted interventions and policies to overcome these obstacles and foster sustainable agricultural development. Strategies should prioritize water resource management, pest control, technological advancements, and addressing labor shortages. Implementing these measures will contribute to long-term agricultural sustainability, food security, and economic growth in the studied regions. Highlights: Natural and human constraints hinder agricultural progress in Samarra and Al-Dour districts. Agricultural pests cause significant damage and discourage farming activities. Water scarcity and soil salinization negatively impact agricultural development.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the crystallite size and microstrain of Cu plate samples subjected to various hot water treatment times using the Williamson-Hall method and XRD profiles. The estimated crystallite sizes obtained from this method were compared with scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations, showing good agreement. The Williamson-Hall method was also utilized to determine microstrain, and the influence of temperature on the mechanical properties of copper was examined, highlighting the dominant role of dynamic softening mechanisms in copper deformation. Line broadening analysis was employed to compare crystallite size and microstrain, demonstrating the usefulness of the Williamson-Hall method in cases where both factors contribute to line broadening. The research underscores the reliability of the Williamson-Hall method in accurately determining crystallite size and microstrain from XRD line broadening analysis. The findings reveal that increasing treatment time leads to higher strain in thin films, and the calculated crystal size aligns well with reference measurements. This study provides valuable insights for designing and synthesizing copper-based materials with improved structural integrity and desired mechanical properties. Highlights: Accurate characterization: The Williamson-Hall method and XRD profiles are reliable techniques for determining crystallite size and microstrain in Cu plate samples, validated by comparison with SEM observations.
