The present work aimed to examine the nature and degree of the cross-correlations among three different ionospheric indices: these are Optimum Working Frequency (OWF), Highest Probable Frequency (HPF), and Best Usable Frequency (BUF). VOCAP and ASASPS models were adopted to determine the datasets of the selected ionospheric indices. The determination was made for different transceiver stations that provide certain HF connection links during the minimum and maximum years of solar cycle 24, 2009 and 2014, respectively. Matlab program was implemented to produce the geodesic parameters for the selected transceiver stations. The determination was made for different path lengths (500, 1000, 1500, and 2000) Km and bearings (0o, 45o, 90o ........ 315o). Different correlation methods were used to examine the best determination coefficient values between the tested parameters. A third-order polynomial equation was set as the best correlation method that gave a better description for the correlation among the tested parameters. The proposed mathematical correlation equations were used to predict the seasonal values of the (HPF, OWF and BUF) parameters. The proposed equations were verified by comparing their values with the observed datasets during the study years. Also, the predicted values were tested using different statistical methods, which gave good results for all tested cases. يهدف العمل الحالي إلى دراسة طبيعة ودرجة الترابط بين ثلاثة مؤشرات آيونوسفيرية مختلفة وهي (HPF,OWF and BUF), تم استخدام نماذج VOCAP و ASASPS لحساب قيم البيانات للمؤشرات الآيونوسفيرية المختارة. اجريت الحسابات لمحطات الإرسال / الاستقبال المختلفة التي توفر روابط اتصال عالية التردد خلال سنوات الصغرى والعظمى للدورة الشمسية 24 (2009 و 2014) على التوالي. تم تنفيذ برنامج Matlab لايجاد قيم المعلمات الجيوديسية لمحطات الإرسال / الاستلام لأطوال مسافات مختلفة (500، 1000، 1500 و 2000) كم واتجاهات مختلفة(0o, 45o, 90o ........ 315o). تم تطبيق طرق ارتباطية مختلفة لاختبار افضلها بين المعاملات المختبرة . تم اقتراح معادلات رياضية متعددة الحدود (الدرجة الثالثة) كأفضل طريقة تصف القيم الارتباطية بين المعاملات المحددة لغرض الدراسة. تمكنت المعادلات المقترحة من التنبؤ بالقيم الموسمية للمؤشرات ((HPF و(OWF) و (BUF).و تم التحقق منها من خلال مقارنتها مع قيم المعلمات المرصودة خلال سنوات الدراسة . كما تم اختبار القيم المتوقعة باستخدام طرق إحصائية مختلفة والتي قدمت نتائج جيدة لجميع الحالات المختبرة
It has been a well-known practice to use seeds and the essential oil of Carum copticum as a strongly antiseptic , antispasmodic , aromatic , bitter , diaphoretic , digestive , diuretic , expectorant and tonic. Also used for cure influenza, asthma, and rheumatoid arthritis. To our knowledge it will be the first time to use the seeds of this herb as a urinary tract stone lithotripsy.This research aimed to the use of these seeds as a lithotripsian against different types of urinary stones and determine the efficiency of these preparation against which types of stone.A liquid solution was prepared from dissolving the seeds powder in cow milk and then concentration this prep

The aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of four different obturation systems using push-out test. Materials and methods: Forty straight palatal roots of the maxillary first molars teeth were used in this study, these roots were instrumented using crown down technique and ProTaper system, instrumentation were done with copious irrigation of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite and 17% buffered solution of EDTA was used as final irrigant followed by distilled water, roots were randomly divided into four groups according to the obturation system (ten teeth for each g
... Show MoreThe aim of the current study is to in evaluate the role of SOD activity in the previously reported oxidative stress in our laboratory(1), in the patients with different brain tumors. SOD activity was assayed according to riboflavin/NBT method and its specific activity was calculated in patients with benign and malignant brain tumors and control. Moreover the specific activity was compared in these samples according to gender and the occurrence of disease.Non significant elevation (P > 0.05) in SOD specific activity was observed in tissue of malignant tumors in comparison to that of in benign brain tumors. While a highly significant decrease (P < 0.001) of the specific activity was found in sera of malignant patients group in comparison to t
... Show MoreThe relation between the output power and wavelengths for a 532nm 3W frequency doubled diode pumped solid state laser pumped Ti:Sapphire crystal is investigated. A 20 femtosecond pulse at 800 nm is obtained. A 320 mW is found to be the highest power at 800nm. Below this wavelength value and above the power was found to deviate from highest output value.
This paper demonstrates an experimental and numerical study aimed to compare the influence of openings of different configurations on the flexural behavior of prestressed concrete rafters. The experimental program consisted of testing six simply supported prestressed concrete rafters; 5 rafters are perforated, and the other one is solid as a reference. All rafters were tested under monotonic midpoint load. The variable which has been investigated in this work was the opening’s configuration (quadrilateral or circular) with the same upper and lower chords depths. The results indicate improvement in the beam flexural behavior using the circular openings compared to the quadrilateral o
