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 aimed at evaluating the torsional capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams externally wrapped with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) materials. An analytical model was described and used as a new computational procedure based on the softened truss model (STM) to predict the torsional behavior of RC beams strengthened with FRP. The proposed analytical model was validated with the existing experimental data for rectangular sections strengthened with FRP materials and considering torque-twist relationship and crack pattern at failure. The confined concrete behavior, in the case of FRP wrapping, was considered in the constitutive laws of concrete in the model. Then, an efficient algorithm was developed in MATLAB environment t

Show MoreThis paper aims to study the effect of circular Y-shaped fin arrangement to improve the low thermal response rates of a double-tube heat exchanger containing Paraffin phase change material (PCM). ANSYS software is employed to perform the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations of the heat exchanger, including fluid flow, heat transfer, and the phase change process. The optimum state of the fin configuration is derived through sensitivity analysis by evaluating the geometrical parameters of the Y-shaped fin. For the same height of the fins (10 mm), the solidification time is reduced by almost 22%, and the discharging rate is enhanced by almost 26% using Y-shaped fins compared with the straight fins. The results demonstrate that the sol

Therefore, it is valuable to explore methods that can minimize the exploitation of natural assets, such as recycling. In this study, using hazardous Al waste as the main electrodes in the electrocoagulation (EC) process for dye removal from wastewater was discussed. The EC process is considered to be one of the most efficient, promising, and cost‐effective ways of handling various toxic effluents. The effect of current density (10, 20, and 30 mA/cm2), electrolyte concentration (1 and 2 g/L), and initial concentration of Brilliant Blue dye (15 and 30 mg/L) on
The study discussed here deals with the isolation of Aspergillus niger from palm dates, the formal and the most famous fruit in Iraq, to test and qualify this fungus isolate for its ability to produce citric acid. Submerged fermentation technique was used in the fermentation process. A.niger isolated from “Zahdi” Palme dates was used in the study of the fermentation kinetics to get the production efficiency of citric acid. Kinetics of CA production via fermentation by A. niger S11 was evaluated within 432 h fermentation time and under submerged conditions of 11% (w/v) sucrose, 5% (v/v) inoculum size, pH 4, 30 °C and 150 rpm. The maximum citric acid produced was (37.116 g/l). Kine
Experimental programs based test results has been used as a means to find out the response of individual elements of structure. In the present study involves investigated behavior of five reinforced concrete deep beams of dimension (length 1200 x height 300 x width150mm) under two points concentrated load with shear span to depth ratio of (1.52), four of these beams with hallow core and

Two shapes of hallow are investigated (circle and square section) to evaluated the response of beams in case experimental behavior. Test on simply supported beam was performed in the laboratory & loaddeflection, strain of concrete data and crack pattern of
In this research, the kinetic studies of four isoenzymes of Asprtate aminotransferase, which partially purified from the urine of chronic renal failure patients were carried out .The four isoenzymes were obeyed Michaelis-Menton's equation and the optimum concentration of their substrate (Aspartic acid) was (166.5x10-3) mole/liter,and their Km values were determined. Four isoenzymesI,II,III,IV have shown an optimum pH at 7.4.The four isoenzymes obeyed Arrhenius equation up to 37º C and their Ea and Q10 constants were determined .
Shear and compressional wave velocities, coupled with other petrophysical data, are vital in determining the dynamic modules magnitude in geomechanical studies and hydrocarbon reservoir characterization. But, due to field practices and high running cost, shear wave velocity may not available in all wells. In this paper, a statistical multivariate regression method is presented to predict the shear wave velocity for Khasib formation - Amara oil fields located in South- East of Iraq using well log compressional wave velocity, neutron porosity and density. The accuracy of the proposed correlation have been compared to other correlations. The results show that, the presented model provides accurate
