شهد العالم مع بداية القرن الحادي والعشرين تدشين مرحلة جديدة من التطور شملت مختلف الميادين لاسيما في مجال التطورات العلمية والثورة المعلوماتية.. كما إن مسار الديمقراطية في بعض دول العالم يصبح سالكا خاصة في تركيا, فمنذ اواسط الثمانينيات من القرن الماضي فتح المجال السياسي امام قوى كانت مسحوقة ومهمشة, ويكاد ان لا يكون لها وجود في الحياة السياسية للنزول الى ساحة العمل السياسي اسوة ببقية القوى الفاعلية في المجتمع التركي, وان كانت الديمقراطية قد اثبتت هشاشتها في تركيا, في ذلك الحين لان الجيش التركي هو الحارس التقليدي للعلمانية قد جعل نفسه قيما على الحياة السياسية في البلاد. وفي عقد التسعينات من القرن الماضي استثمر التيار الاسلامي في تركيا هذا الجو فتوسع في اطروحاته الفكرية واعماله الاقتصادية والاجتماعية وقام بمد شبكة من العلاقات والنشاطات مستغلا الضعف الذي دب في المؤسسة العسكرية والجماعات العلمانية بعد ان تراخت قبضت الاولى نتيجة للشروط التي طالبت بها المجموعة الاوربية كخطوة لدخول تركيا المحفل الاوربي, فيما استخدمت الحكومة التركية الاسلام لاستيعاب الاطروحات اليسارية والتخفيف من غلواء واثار المطالبات القومية للاكراد والارمن وغيرهم من القوميات والاقليات في البلاد, وقد نجح في استثمار هذا التوجه زعيم التيار الاسلامي نجم الدين اربكان الذي حصل حزبه (حزب الرفاه) في عدد من الانتخابات على عدد من الاصوات اهلته للدخول الى البرلمان ومن ثم المشاركة في تشكيل الحكومة, مناصفة مع حزب الطريق القويم, وبعد حل حزب الرفاه من قبل السلطات التركية عام 1997. عاد التيار الاسلامي وجدد نشاطه لكن هذه المرة بصورة اكثر فاعلية, من خلال حزب العدالة والتنمية الذي انبثق عن حزب الرفاه ومجموعات من احزاب اخرى غير اسلامية وفئات شبابية مؤثرة لم ترتبط سابقا باية جهة حزبية . وتأسس في عام 2001 بزعامة رجب طيب اردوغان الابن الروحي لزعيم التيار الاسلامي في تركيا نجم الدين اربكان ..
This study was undertaken to diagnose routine settling problems within a third-party oil and gas companies’ Mono-Ethylene Glycol (MEG) regeneration system. Two primary issues were identified including; a) low particle size (<40 μm) resulting in poor settlement within high viscosity MEG solution and b) exposure to hydrocarbon condensate causing modification of particle surface properties through oil-wetting of the particle surface. Analysis of oil-wetted quartz and iron carbonate (FeCO₃) settlement behavior found a greater tendency to remain suspended in the solution and be removed in the rich MEG effluent stream or to strongly float and accumulate at the liquid-vapor interface in comparison to naturally water-wetted particles. As su
... Show MoreThe Weibull distribution is considered one of the Type-I Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution, and it plays a crucial role in modeling extreme events in various fields, such as hydrology, finance, and environmental sciences. Bayesian methods play a strong, decisive role in estimating the parameters of the GEV distribution due to their ability to incorporate prior knowledge and handle small sample sizes effectively. In this research, we compare several shrinkage Bayesian estimation methods based on the squared error and the linear exponential loss functions. They were adopted and compared by the Monte Carlo simulation method. The performance of these methods is assessed based on their accuracy and computational efficiency in estimati
... Show MoreThis article presents the results of an experimental investigation of using carbon fiber–reinforced polymer sheets to enhance the behavior of reinforced concrete deep beams with large web openings in shear spans. A set of 18 specimens were fabricated and tested up to a failure to evaluate the structural performance in terms of cracking, deformation, and load-carrying capacity. All tested specimens were with 1500-mm length, 500-mm cross-sectional deep, and 150-mm wide. Parameters that studied were opening size, opening location, and the strengthening factor. Two deep beams were implemented as control specimens without opening and without strengthening. Eight deep beams were fabricated with openings but without strengthening, while

These data include weight on bit, rotary speed, flow rate and mud density. A statistical approach was applied on these data for improving rate of penetration modeling. As result, an empirical linear ROP model has been developed with good fitness when compared with actual data. Also, a nonlinear regression analysis of different forms was attempted, and the results showed that the power model has good predicting capability with respect to other forms.
There is an interesting potential for the use of GFRP-pultruded profiles in hybrid GFRP-concrete structural elements, either for new constructions or for the rehabilitation of existing structures. This paper provides experimental and numerical investigations on the flexural performance of reinforced concrete (RC) specimens composite with encased pultruded GFRP I-sections. Five simply supported composite beams were tested in this experimental program to investigate the static flexural behavior of encased GFRP beams with high-strength concrete. Besides, the effect of using shear studs to improve the composite interaction between the GFRP beam and concrete as well as the effect of web stiffeners of GFRP were explored. Encasing the GFRP
... Show MoreRate of penetration plays a vital role in field development process because the drilling operation is expensive and include the cost of equipment and materials used during the penetration of rock and efforts of the crew in order to complete the well without major problems. It’s important to finish the well as soon as possible to reduce the expenditures. So, knowing the rate of penetration in the area that is going to be drilled will help in speculation of the cost and that will lead to optimize drilling outgoings. In this research, an intelligent model was built using artificial intelligence to achieve this goal. The model was built using adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system to predict the rate of penetration in

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of environmental pH on production of biofilms and virulence genes expression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Among 303 clinical and environmental samples 109 (61 + 48) isolates were identified as clinical and environmental P. aeruginosa isolates, respectively. Clinical samples were obtained from patients in the Al-Yarmouk hospital in Baghdad city, Iraq. Waste water from Al-Yarmouk hospital was used from site before treatment unit to collect environmental samples. The ability of prod
