The current study sheds light on the measurement and estimation of the radioactivity of radionuclides (238U, 226Ra, 232Th, and 40k) in natural waters of different regions of Nineveh Governorate in Iraq.15 samples were collected from different sources of natural waters, where gamma-ray spectroscopy was used using NaI)TI) sodium iodide detector to determine the concentration of radioactivity in the samples. According to the results, the radioactivity concentration in the tested water sample were ranged from 0.36 ± 0.04-1.57 ± 0.09with an average value of 0.69 ± 0.06 Bq/l for 238U, and 2.9 ± 0.02-0.88 ± 0.03 with an average value of 0.65 ± 0.03 Bq/l for 226Ra Bq/l, and 0.48 ± 0.04-1.36 ± 0.06 with an average value of 0.88 ± 0.05 Bq/l for 232Th, while for 40K 13.00 ± 0.69-36.89 ± 1.12 with an average value of 25.1 ± 0.95 Bq/l, respectively. The results obtained from the water samples are below the safe and standard limits established by UNSCEAR. In addition to calculating the radiological hazard indicators that included Radium equivalent (Raeq), air absorbed dose rate (Dγ), effective annual equivalent dose rate (AEDE), indoor and outdoor radiation hazard (H) indices, lifetime cancer risk (ELCR), gonadotropin equivalent dose (AGDE), and ideal level index of gamma rays (Iγ) has been calculated. To verify its deleterious character. On the other hand, the results showed that the rate of heat production values ranged between 0.006-0.0015 µW/m3, which indicates a low rate of heat production and does not affect the temperature of the Earth's crust. Finally, In addition to physicochemical parameters such as PH, dissolved solids TDS, and electrical conductivity Ec. All tested data are within the permissible limit of WHO standards. The results of the current study can be used to provide essential baseline data for future epidemiological investigations and surveillance programs in the areas under study.
Unlike fault diagnosis approaches based on the direct analysis of current and voltage signals, this paper proposes a diagnosis of induction motor faults through monitoring the variations in motor's parameters when it is subjected to an open circuit or short circuit faults. These parameters include stator and rotor resistances, self-inductances, and mutual inductance. The genetic algorithm and the trust-region method are used for the estimation process. Simulation results confirm the efficiency of both the genetic algorithm and the trust-region method in estimating the motor parameters; however, better performance in terms of estimation time is obtained when the trust-region method is adopted. The results also show the po

Different categories of geospatial data such as digital maps, coordinates, web maps, aerial and satellite images, etc., are required to realize the geospatial data components of Spatial Data Infrastructures. In general, there are two distinct types of geospatial data sources exist over the Internet: formal and informal data sources. Despite the growth of informal geospatial data sources, the integration between different free sources is not being achieved effectively. The adoption of this task can be considered the main advantage of this research. This article addresses the research question of how the

We found the values of potential energies in hartree unit (3.8369, 6.78565, 10.18852 and 14.41089) respectively and the other proprieties like expectation values of the position < r1m > were in agreement with the published results. All the studied atomic properties were normalized.
The main objective of the research is to identify the role of strategic training and its effect on enhancing the self-growth of the individual. Stratigic training represents a contemporary tendency. that is adopted by business organizations in carrying out their activities and tasks.
It is worth to mention, that self-growth of the individual is one of the indictors used to determine the ability of organization to a achieve its goals.
The problem of the research has pointed out to the minimum awareness of the important role played by training strategy in enhancing the self-growth of the individual. The researcher has adopted an analytical approach, in collecting and analyses
