Comparative Study of Gamma- Ray Shielding Parameters for Different Epoxy Composites
...Show More Authors

In the current work various types of epoxy composites were added to concrete to enhance its effectiveness as a gamma- ray shield. Four epoxy samples of (E/clay/B4C) S1, (E/Mag/B4C) S2, (EPIL) S3 and (Ep) S4 were used in a comparative study of gamma radiation attenuation properties of these shields that calculating using Mont Carlo code (MCNP-5). Adopting Win X-com software and Artificial Neural Network (ANN), µ/ρ revealed great compliance with MCNP-5. By applying (µ/ρ) output for gamma at different energies, HVL, TVL and MFP have been also estimated. ANN technique was simulated to estimate (µ/ρ) and dose rates. According to the results, µ/ρ of all epoxy samples scored higher than standard concrete. Both S2 and S3 samples having higher values of µ/ρ, show minimum dose rate values. (µ/ρ) and RPE% values were enhanced, the concrete containing E/Mag/B4C (S2) had the best results, while the concrete containing Ep (S4) provide the worst results. The ANN prediction results take 15 sec for estimating gamma doses corresponding to seventeen shield thicknesses, while the theoretical MCNP-5 results took approximately between 7 to 10 hours for five gamma doses. ANN provides excellent predictions with a high degree of correlation depending on increasing the number of attenuation parameters used in the training process. Also, it predicts gamma dose rates for a large number of shield thicknesses that cannot be calculated theoretically in a very short time. This supports, the created epoxy composite offers good attenuation properties for many shielding applications and could be proposed as an injecting mortar for cracks in biological shields and the walls of diagnostic and radiotherapy rooms. However, further investigations are planned for different filler ratios, for comparison purposes, in order to reach optimal shielding properties

A comparison among Different Methods for Estimating Regression Parameters with Autocorrelation Problem under Exponentially Distributed Error
...Show More Authors

Multiple linear regressions are concerned with studying and analyzing the relationship between the dependent variable and a set of explanatory variables. From this relationship the values of variables are predicted. In this paper the multiple linear regression model and three covariates were studied in the presence of the problem of auto-correlation of errors when the random error distributed the distribution of exponential. Three methods were compared (general least squares, M robust, and Laplace robust method). We have employed the simulation studies and calculated the statistical standard mean squares error with sample sizes (15, 30, 60, 100). Further we applied the best method on the real experiment data representing the varieties of

The status of the Arabic language in the Constitution of the Republic o f Iraq for the year 2005: A comparative study
...Show More Authors

    The Constitution of the Republic of Iraq for the year 2005, in force and following most of the previous Iraqi constitutions and the constitutions of the Arab countries, states that Arabic is the official language of the state.  Recognition of the great and lofty status of it, it is the language sanctified by the Creator (Almighty), by choosing a language not written by Heaven and the dominant of them all (the Holy Quran).  In addition, it is also the endowment of lingual to the seal of his prophets and the leader of his messengers, the greatest Prophet Muhammad bin Abdullah (peace be upon him).  Moreover, this is what questioned the study of the rules of this constitutional demarcation of the Arabic lang

The Effect of PVC Powder content on the Elastic Moduli and Acoustic Impedance of Epoxy Composites
...Show More Authors

The primary purpose of the present research was to study the effect of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) powder content on ultrasonic wave velocity in PVC/Epoxy composites. The second part is concerned with the relations of dynamic elastic moduli with the ultrasonic wave velocities, to determine how ultrasonic waves can affect them.
Experimental data have been obtained using the sonic viewer (model -5217 A) device to generate two types of waves, longitudinal waves of frequency 63 kHz and transverse waves of frequency 33 kHz and to measure the transit time required for those waves to travel through individual sample.
The experimental results have shown that the propagation of the ultrasonic velocity increases directly with PVC content in the

The Judge’s Oversight Function on Unreasonableness in Disciplinary Actions : A Comparative Study
...Show More Authors

The Administrative agency enjoys certain privileges when issuing disciplinary actions on a public servant. As the only entity conferred with the authority to issue disciplinary action to actualize certain aims, like establishment of, or amendment or repealing of certain legal provisions. Public service is regarded as the most widespread sector due to the employer-employee working relationship between the administrative agency and the public servant. The aim of disciplinary action is to serve deterrent to the employee from committing similar offence in the future and guaranteeing of smooth running of the organization and effective delivery of work. Therefore, the administrative agency must commit to achieving this aim, without being outra

The voluntary declaration in the tax legislation in UAE: A comparative study
...Show More Authors

Taxes are   the most important public revenues, especially in the context of state intervention and the transformation of the tax from a mere financial tool only into an economic and social guidance tool. Therefore, all countries are keen to preserve this revenue by creating a clear legal system on tax assignment and collection mechanisms, and controlling cases of tax evasion.

The tax administration applies   several methods to determine the tax base, which differ from one tax to another, and from one tax system to another. The most important of these methods are the tax returns declared by the taxpayers   ,  one of these  methods also  is to determine the tax base directly by the tax

Extent and limits of the judge's power to the contract (Comparative study)
...Show More Authors

The contractual imbalance is perceived today by the majority of the doctrine as being one of the pitfalls to the execution of the contracts. As a result, most legislations grant judges the power to intervene to restore it. Granting the judge the power to complete the contract raises the question of the extent to which the judge can obtain such power. Is it an absolute authority that is not limited? If so, is it a broad discretion in which the judge operates in his conscience, or is it a power of limited scope by specific legal texts and conventions? This is what we will try to answer in this research.
