The research addressed an analytical field investigation of the locality of meander, the factors responsible of the locality of the meander at certain points of the stream other than others, and the role sequence of these factors in the formation process.
The research revealed that the location of forming the meander was associated closely with the scale structural composition of the bank materials from which the first stage of forming the curved stream, for the inhomogeneous or non-identical opposite banks in their scale structural composition saw an activity of differential corrosion, while the homogeneous and identical opposite banks in their scale structural composition saw an identical corrosion activity in its intensity at both banks. The research investigated in field the presence of scale variation of the materials of opposite banks in the location of forming the meander which was not found at the incurved stream banks by taking samples and analyze them in scale. The analysis results showed that the synclinal bank was with high sand ratio which was the reason behind the activity of corrosion process due to its weak cohesion, high permeability, and highroughness creating an environment of frequent turmoil reverse eddy currents. As to its opposite bank which represented the convex bank, the results of the scale analysis showed its soil to be with high content of mud; therefore, it was resistant to the corrosion activity compared to the synclinal bank, being more cohesive and of weak permeability, it was soft, so it did not create a turmoil eddy motional environment of the aquatic currents. While in the incurved stream, the results of the scale analysis showed that the soil of both opposite banks were identical in its volume content; therefore, the activity of the corrosion process was identical at both banks and its high sand ratio resulted in the expansion of the stream and not its fold.
The research revealed that the circularity of the curved stream imposed the presence of the centrifugal force which appeared in the domains of the circular motion, changing the concentration locations of the currents. As it is well-known, the fastest currents in the river are those which locate far away from the bottom and the banks, and are found in the middle of the stream which we really found in the incurved stream, but due to the control of the centrifugal force, we found that the fastest currents were concentrated at the synclinal banks and that the slowest currents were concentrated at the synclinal banks, which explains logically and realistically due to the contrast of the corrosion and sediment activity in the curved river streams and the presence of centrifugal force was responsible of the development of these streams from fold to curve to turn to cut lake.
The research defined the morphology of the curved stream at any stage of the development stages at the presence of three corrosion units that represent the synclinal banks meeting three sedimentary units represent the convex banks, two of which were opposite to each other represent overall the neck of the stream and the stream in its complete shape was represented by the overall of these corners
The simulation of passively Q-switching is four non – linear first order differential equations. The optimization of passively Q-switching simulation was carried out using the constrained Rosenbrock technique. The maximization option in this technique was utilized to the fourth equation as an objective function; the parameters, γa, γc and β as were dealt with as decision variables. A FORTRAN program was written to determine the optimum values of the decision variables through the simulation of the four coupled equations, for ruby laser Q–switched by Dy +2: CaF2.For different Dy +2:CaF2 molecules number, the values of decision variables was predicted using our written program. The relaxation time of Dy +2: CaF2, used with ruby was

A new simple and sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace amount of Co(II) in the ethanol absolute solution have been developed. The method is based on the reaction of Co(II) with ethyl cyano(2-methyl carboxylate phenyl azo acetate) (ECA) in acid medium of hydrochloric acid (0.1 M) givining maximum absorbance at ((λmax = 656 nm). Beer's law is obeyed over the concentration range (5-60) (μg / ml) with molar absorptivity of (1.5263 × 103 L mol-1 cm-1) and correlation coefficient (0.9995). The precision (RSD% ˂ 1%). The stoichiometry of complex was confirmed by Job's method which indicated the ratio of metal to reagent is (2:1). The studied effect of interference elements Zn(II), Cu(II), Na(I), K(I), Ca(II) and Mg

The aim of this work is to detect the best operating conditions that effect on the removal of Cu2+, Zn2+, and Ni2+ ions from aqueous solution using date pits in the batch adsorption experiments. The results have shown that the Al-zahdi Iraqi date pits demonstrated more efficient at certain values of operating conditions of adsorbent doses of 0.12 g/ml of aqueous solution, adsorption time 72 h, pH solution 5.5 ±0.2, shaking speed 300 rpm, and smallest adsorbent particle size needed for removal of metals. At the same time the particle size of date pits has a little effect on the adsorption at low initial concentration of heavy metals. The adsorption of metals increases with increas

In this work, wide band range photo detector operating in UV, Visible and IR was fabricated using carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs, SWCNTs) decorated with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). Silicon was used as a substrate to deposited CNTs/Ag NPs by the drop casting technique. Polyamide nylon polymer was used to coat CNTs/Ag NPs to enhance the photo-response of the detector. The electro-exploding wire technology was used to synthesize Ag NPs. Good dispersion of silver NPs achieved by a simple chemistry process on the surface of CNTs. The optical, structure and electrical characteristic of CNTs decorated with Ag NPs were characterized by X-Ray diffraction and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy. X-ray diffra

In the present study, an attempt has been made to experimentally investigate the flexural performance of ten simply supported reinforced concrete gable roof beams, including solid control specimen (i.e., without openings) and nine beams with web openings of different dimensions and configurations. The nine beams with openings have identical reinforcement details. All beams were monotonically loaded to failure under mid-span loading. The main variables were the number of the created openings, the total area of the created openings, and the inclination angle of the posts between openings. Of interest is the load-carrying capacity, cracking resistance and propagation, deformability, failure mode, and strain development that represent the behav
