Titanium alloys are broadly used in the medical and aerospace sectors. However, they are categorized within the hard-to-machine alloys ascribed to their higher chemical reactivity and lower thermal conductivity. This aim of this research was to study the impact of the dry-end-milling process with an uncoated tool on the produced surface roughness of Ti6Al4V alloy. This research aims to study the impact of the dry-end milling process with an uncoated tool on the produced surface roughness of Ti6Al4V alloy. Also, it seeks to develop a new hybrid neural model based on the training back propagation neural network (BPNN) with swarm optimization-gravitation search hybrid algorithms (PSO-GSA). Full-factorial design of the experiment with L27 orthogonal array was applied, and three end-milling parameters (cutting speed, feed rate, and axial depth of cut) with three levels were selected (50, 77.5, and 105 m/min; 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2 mm/tooth; and 1, 1.5, and 2 mm) and investigated to show their influence on the obtained surface roughness. The results revealed that the surface roughness is significantly affected by the feed rate followed by the axial depth. A 0.49 µm was produced as a minimum surface roughness at the optimized parameters of 105 m/min, 0.1 mm/tooth, and 1 mm. On the other hand, a neural network having a single hidden layer with 1–20 hidden neurons, 3 input neurons, and 1 output neuron was trained with both PSO and PSO–GSA algorithms. The hybrid BPNN–PSO–GSA model showed its superiority over the BPNN–PSO model in terms of the minimum mean square error (MSE) that was calculated during the testing stage. The best BPNN–PSO–GSA hybrid model was the 3–18–1 structure, which reached the best testing MSE of 3.8 × 10−11 against 2.42 × 10−5 of the 3–8–1 BPNN–PSO hybrid model.
With the growth of mobile phones, short message service (SMS) became an essential text communication service. However, the low cost and ease use of SMS led to an increase in SMS Spam. In this paper, the characteristics of SMS spam has studied and a set of features has introduced to get rid of SMS spam. In addition, the problem of SMS spam detection was addressed as a clustering analysis that requires a metaheuristic algorithm to find the clustering structures. Three differential evolution variants viz DE/rand/1, jDE/rand/1, jDE/best/1, are adopted for solving the SMS spam problem. Experimental results illustrate that the jDE/best/1 produces best results over other variants in terms of accuracy, false-positive rate and false-negative

Show MoreThe aim of this paper is to demonstrate the effect of Na2[Fe(CN)5.NO].2H2O impurity (0.1 M) concentration on the dielectrical properties of poly (P-Aminobenzaldehyde) terminated by pheneylenediamine in the frequency and temperature ranges (1-100)KHz and (283-348) K respectively.These properties include dissipation factor, series and parallel resistance, series and parallel capacitance, real and imaginary part of the dielectric constant, a.c conductivity and impedance (real and imaginary) part, that have been deduced from equivalent circuit. The investigation shows that adding Na2[Fe(CN)5.NO].2H2O as additive to the polymer lead to increase of the dielectric constant with increasing temperature and it is decreasing with increasing the freq

The current research aims to identify the level of digital skills of kindergarten teachers, identify the level of professional competence of kindergarten teachers, as well as to identify the relationship between digital skills and the professional competence of kindergarten teachers. The current research was determined by kindergarten teachers in the second Baghdad / Karkh Education Directorate for the academic year (2021-2022). The research sample consisted of (100) teachers chosen in a simple random way. To achieve the objectives of the research, the researcher developed a digital skills scale of (20) items and a scale of professional competence consisting of (22) items. The results revealed that kindergarten teachers have a high level
