STUDY OF THE PARASITIC MODES FOR THE 140 GHZ GYROTRON OSCILLATOR
...Show More Authors

This work reports on the particular gyrotron (140 GHz) and how to improve its operation through the elimination of the parasitic modes which excite with the operating mode (). A computer code which was previously constructed has been used to find and analyze the characteristics of the gyrotron especially the starting current of the mode excitation. 021TE
The study involves the parasitic modes of the (140 GHz) gyrotron and the methods of their elimination. Two methods were utilized for this purpose. The first one was the anode voltage variation and the other was the external magnetic field variation. For these two methods all the output characteristics of the gyrotron were analyzed and it was found that the second method is more suit

SOLUTION OF NEWTONIAN FLUID FLOW PROBLEM IN TWO DIMENSIONS SOLVED BY SIMPLE ALGORITHEM
...Show More Authors

In this paper, a consideration is given to viscose, incompressible and Newtonian fluid flowing in a pipe with square cross-section under the action of pressure gradient. In particular consideration is given to first order fluid flow which can be represented by the equation of state of the form:
Tij = 2η eij , i,j = 1,2
Where η is constant of fluid, Tij and eij are the stress and rate of strain respectively. Cartesian coordinate has been used to describe the fluid motion and it found that motion equations are controlled by Reynolds number. The motion equations are solved by a semi-implicit algorithm namely Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations (SIMPLE).

FINGERPRINT VERIFICATION SYSTEM USING PRINCIPALCOMPONENT TRANSFORMATION EIGENVECTORS TECHNIQUE
...Show More Authors

A fingerprint verification technique is presented. The Principal Component
Transformation “PCT” is used to identify a checked person, by comparing its
eigenvector with the PCT eigenvectors of stored fingerprints images in a Database.
The computed Eigenvectors of the input images are determined from the covariance
matrix of the set of fingerprints reduced mean images which were ascended as
column vectors in a two dimensional array. The covariance matrix then determined
by multiplying the mean (i.e. average) reduced matrix by its transpose. The
similarity between the stored images of the fingers (as Database) and the test finger
is presented by utilizing the Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) crite

Optimizing Application of UAV-Based SfM Photogrammetric 3D Mapping in Urban Areas
...Show More Authors

In recent years, the extensive need for high-quality acquisition platforms for various 3D mapping applications has rapidly increased, especially in sensor performance, portability, and low cost. Image-based UAV sensors have overwhelming merits over alternative solutions for their high timeline and resilience data acquisition systems and the high-resolution spatial data they can provide through extensive Computer Vision (CV) data processing approaches. However, applying this technique, including the appropriate selection of flight mission and image acquisition parameters, ground settings and targeting, and Structure from Motion- Multi-View Stereo (SfM-MVS) post-processing, must be optimized to the type of study site and feature characteri

This paper includes studying the microfacies evalution of Mauddud Formaion in
four wells(Rt-2, Rt-5, Rt17 and Rt-19). Seventy-seven(77) sampels were collected
of above mentioned wells. Based on fossil content of the samples under study, four
main microfacies were identified: packstone , wakestone , grainstone and lime
mudstone microfacies ,which deposited in shallow open marine and restricted
marine environments. Petrographic examination of thin section indicated that
diagenesis vary in intensity from one site to another, such as dissolution,
cementation, compaction, dolomitization and micritization, which led to the
improvement and deterioration of porosity. The dominant pore types are vuggy,

The study area is located to the south of Iraq at Al-Shanafiya town, south west of Iraq. Groundwater is the main source for crops irrigation, household uses and livestock drinking. To determine the relative age of groundwater by measuring the tritium concentration in groundwater, four wells and four springs water samples were taken. Found that the mean tritium concentration in springs samples is 4.125 TU where in wells samples is 2 TU. Using Clark and Firtz (1997) classification found that the relative age is amix of sub modern and modern water. Through modern study was performed by Al-Paruany (2013) found that the tritium concentration in rainfall in Al-Diwaniyah Meteoric Station has reached the natural level (approximately 5TU). Throug

Reservoir Modelling and Production Forecasting for Zubair Formation in the Kifl Field
...Show More Authors

Kifl is a small exploratory field located in central Iraq. This field was not developed, and the reservoir behavior under production conditions was not explored. Building a reservoir model is essential in developing an oil field as it enables the prediction of reservoir performance under different production conditions. This study focused on constructing a reservoir model for the Zubair formation in the Kifl field using available reservoir data and empirical equations to fill in any gaps and then developing the field by suggesting production scenarios. It is important to validate the model to ensure its accuracy before using it in the development plan. The reservoir model was initialized with primary data, such as initial pressure, fluid

One of the recent significant but challenging research studies in computational biology and bioinformatics is to unveil protein complexes from protein-protein interaction networks (PPINs). However, the development of a reliable algorithm to detect more complexes with high quality is still ongoing in many studies. The main contribution of this paper is to improve the effectiveness of the well-known modularity density ( ) model when used as a single objective optimization function in the framework of the canonical evolutionary algorithm (EA). To this end, the design of the EA is modified with a gene ontology-based mutation operator, where the aim is to make a positive collaboration between the modularity density model and the proposed gene

Detection and classification of animals is a major challenge that is facing the researchers. There are five classes of vertebrate animals, namely the Mammals, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds, and Fish, and each type includes many thousands of different animals. In this paper, we propose a new model based on the training of deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) to detect and classify two classes of vertebrate animals (Mammals and Reptiles). Deep CNNs are the state of the art in image recognition and are known for their high learning capacity, accuracy, and robustness to typical object recognition challenges. The dataset of this system contains 6000 images, including 4800 images for training. The proposed algorithm was tested by using 1200
