Using artificial neural networks to assign soccer players by physical and motor abilities
...Show More Authors

Introduction: The introduction of analytics tools in sports indicates that artificial neural networks can be one of the intelligent approaches to process complex data and identify patterns that help players move according to their most suitable positions. Objective: The purpose of this research is to investigate the possibility of using artificial neural networks to determine the physical and motor abilities of football players and determine their suitable playing positions based on exact quantitative indicators. Method: The study sample consists of 45 youth players aged (15–16) years from the Espanyol Football Academy in Baghdad. The results are analyzed using a multilayer perceptron (MLP) artificial neural network model to identify the relationships between physical variables and playing positions. Results: The Pearson correlation analysis reveals statistically significant relationships between physical and motor abilities and the players’ actual playing positions (p < 0.05). In addition, the artificial neural network (MLP) model demonstrated the ability to assign players to different playing positions based on the relative weights of the variables. Speed, endurance, and explosive power were identified as the most influential factors in determining offensive positions, whereas flexibility and visual–motor coordination played a significant role in determining defensive positions and goalkeeping. The model achieved a classification accuracy exceeding 85%. Discussion: The artificial neural network model demonstrates a high capacity to exploit correlational relationships and transform them from conventional statistical associations into accurate predictive patterns. This enables the model to guide players toward the most suitable playing positions based on their physical and motor characteristics. Conclusions: The findings of the study confirm the feasibility of adopting artificial neural networks as an intelligent tool for sports performance analysis and for guiding youth players toward the playing positions most suited to their physical and motor abilities.

impact of mental games on improving shooting accuracy among young basketball players in Iraqi clubs
...Show More Authors

This study investigates the effectiveness of mental games in enhancing shooting accuracy among young basketball players. Initially, baseline shooting accuracy was assessed through tests conducted prior to a three-week intervention involving mental games. A follow-up test revealed a significant improvement in participants' shooting accuracy following the intervention. Given the noticeable differences in the new shooting scores compared to the initial assessments, a second set of pre-intervention tests was conducted. These tests reaffirmed the significant enhancement in shooting accuracy, substantiating the hypothesis that mental games positively affect performance. The findings highlight the importance of these intervention programs

Securing Power Microgrids: A Cyber-Physical Approach for Modern Infrastructure
...Show More Authors

With the increasing reliance on microgrids as flexible and sustainable solutions for energy distribution, securing decentralized electricity grids requires robust cybersecurity strategies tailored to microgrid-specific vulnerabilities. The research paper focuses on enhancing detection capabilities and response times in the face of coordinated cyber threats in microgrid systems by implementing advanced technologies, thereby supporting decentralized operations while maintaining robust system performance in the presence of attacks. It utilizes advanced power engineering techniques to strengthen cybersecurity in modern power grids. A real-world CPS testbed was utilized to simulate the smart grid environment and analyze the impact of cyberattack

Preparation of Solid-Super Acidic Catalyst with Improvement Physical Properties
...Show More Authors

Sulphated zirconia (SZ) is one of the most important solid acid catalysts was synthesize at different operating conditions, different calcination temperature and sulfonating time has been used. The prepared catalyst was distinguished by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), particle size and morphology of catalyst were checked by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) respectively, in addition to analysis by (DTA) Differential thermally and Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX). Finally, the N2 adsorption-desorption was used to measure the surface area (BET) and pore volume. High degree of tetragonal crystallinity was obtained 90 %, and surface area of 169 m2/g and pore volume of 0.39 cm3g-1 at 600°C calcination temperature for 3

Knowing the shape of the physical identity of the city
...Show More Authors

This  research deals with the form of the physical identity which is concerned with the features and characteristics that distinguish the shape of the city from other existing cities and reveal its similarity with the self (itself) and objective difference with others.  Accordingly, these features must be sophisticated and variable resulting the shape of the city, while preserving the continuity of time, and eventually leads to the emergence of the whole shape. Physical identity is conceptually equivalent with the terms "personality" and "sense of place".  The research determined the criteria for evaluating the physical identity as follows:
