Headline: A Season of Scientific Excellence: UoD Researchers Publish Two High-Impact Studies in Q1 Elsevier Journals
The College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences at the University of Duhok is proud to celebrate a series of remarkable scientific milestones achieved by Asst. Prof. Dr. Moyaser Khalil Ibrahim and his research teams. Within a short span, two groundbreaking studies have been published in top-tier international journals.
I. High-Impact Environmental Research (IF: 7.2)
Asst. Prof. Dr. Moyaser Khalil Ibrahim,Asst. Prof. Dr. Berivan Hadi Mahdi, and Ms. Sarab Myasar Khaleel published a critical study in the journal Environmental Pollution (Elsevier).
- Title: "Meteorological controls on seasonal enrichment, contamination patterns, and environmental implications of atmospheric dust-fall elements in Zakho City, northern Iraq."
- Metrics: Impact Factor (JIF) 7.2 | CiteScore 15.1 | Ranked Q1.
- Impact: This research provides vital insights into how weather patterns affect dust pollution in Zakho, offering essential data for public health and environmental monitoring.
II. A Milestone in Molecular Science (IF: 4.9)
In a rare academic feat, Asst. Prof. Dr. Moyaser Khalil Ibrahim has published his 4th research paper in the Journal of Molecular Structure (Elsevier) within a record period.
- Title: "Formation mechanism and structural characterization of a rare meta-azo isomer in phenolic azo coupling: A combined experimental and DFT study."
- Metrics: Impact Factor (JIF) 4.9 | CiteScore 8.4 | Ranked Q1.
- Impact: This study explores the synthesis of novel dyes with strong potential for UV-blocking applications in functional materials.
Strengthening Regional Collaboration
These achievements are the result of a fruitful scientific collaboration between the University of Duhok and the University of Zakho. Such high-level publications underscore our commitment to academic rigor and elevate the international standing of Kurdistan Region universities.
