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
The aim of the research is a techno-economic analysis of the use of concentrated solar energy technologies in the Iraqi city, considering the concentrated solar energy technology is a renewable energy technology that derives its resources from the sun and is replenished at a rate that exceeds its use. It is also inexhaustible and environmentally friendly energy from its environmental footprint, unlike traditional fossil energy which produces greenhouse gases and a major cause of global warming.
This research measures the costs of concentrated solar energy technology to Reduce the effects caused by other energies and work to fill part of the shortfall in the total electricity production, even at a specific percentage, in preparati

Show MoreIn this work, a convex lens concentrating solar collector is designed and manufactured locally by using 10 convex lenses (concentrator) of a diameter 10cm and one Copper absorber tube of a diameter 12.5mm and 1mm in thickness 1m length. Two axes manual Tracking system also constructed to track the sun continuously in two directions. The experiments are made on 17th of May 2015 in climatic conditions of Baghdad. The experimental data are fed to a computer program to solve the thermal performing equation, to find efficiency and actual useful energy. Then this data is used in numerical CFD software for three different absorber diameters (12.5 mm, 18.75 mm and 25 mm). From the results that obtained the maximum the

The performance of CPCs have been evaluated by using outdoor experimental measurements including the instantaneous thermal efficiency. The two CPCs are tested instantly by holding them on a common structure. Many tests are conducted in the present work by truncating one of them in three different levels. For each truncation the acceptance half angle (θc) was changed. Geometrically, the acceptance half angle for standard CPC is (26o). For the truncation levels for the other CPC 1, 2 and 3 the acceptance half angle were 20o, 26o and 5

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has become the standard treatment for symptomatic cholelithiasis. Bile duct injury and accidental gallbladder perforation with spillage of bile and stone are common complications of LC. This study was carried out to assess the early complications of gallbladder perforation during LC, and identify the risk factor of that perforation.
Objectives: to evaluate the early complications which may occur after the perforation of the gallbladder during laparoscopic cholecystectomy and to determine the risk factors which are associated with the perforation of the gall bladder.

A new type of solar air heater was designed, fabricated, and tested in Baghdad, Iraq winter conditions. The heater consists of two main parts. The horizontal section was filled with the black colored iron chip while the vertical part has five pipes filled with Iraqi paraffin wax. A fan was fixed at the exit of the air. Two cases were studied: when the air moved by natural convection and when forced convection moved it. The studied air heater has proven its effectiveness as it heated the air passing through it to high temperatures. The results manifest that using little air movement makes the temperatures, stored energies, and efficiencies of the two studied cases converge
