August 2013 ,Pages 1.0-7.0

Abstract: Abstract: The ligand (LH) [P-hydroxy phenyl benzilidene] derived from a condensation product of p-hydroxy aniline and benzaldehyde and its complexes with Cobalt(II), Nickel(II) and Copper(II) has been synthesized and characterized by metal analysis molar conductance, magnetic moments, Infrared Spectra. The complexes were observed to have an octahedral geometry around central metal ion in both neutral and basic media. The stoichiometry reaction between the metal (II) ion and synthesized ligand in molar ration of M: L (1:1) in both neutral and basic media. In neutral media forms the metal complexes of type of [M2(LH)2(H2O)4Cl4] while in basic media forms type [M2(L)2(H2O)6 Cl2] (where M= Co(II), Ni(II), or Cu(II), LH=C13H11NO, L= C13H10NO) respectively. The infrared spectra of free ligand and all complexes reveal that the ligand has been coordinated to metal ion through the nitrogen of azomethine group and oxygen atom of phenol group in neutral media but in alkaline medium acts as mono basic. In all these complexes the metal ions are hexacoordinate with most probable octahedral structure.

Maha A.R. Hasso, Farah Saad Al-Mukhtar (Author)
August 2013 ,Pages 38.0-51.0

Abstract: Abstract Programmable logic is emerging as an attractive solution for many digital image processing applications. As image sizes and bit depths grow larger, software has become less useful in the image processing, Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology has become a viable target for the implementation of algorithms suited to image processing applications, the unique architecture of the FPGA has allowed the technology to be used in many such applications encompassing all aspects of image processing. Image smoothing is one of image processing applications, it often done to reduce the effect of pixel noise in images. This paper presents VHDL architectures (that allow description of the structure design of FPGA) to implement two of image smoothing filters: a) averaging filters b) median filters This research is also applying the filters on FPGA. The results proves high-speed performance of the algorithms that rely on hardware and software compared to software alone, as it appeared very big difference in the speed of execution, depending on the hardware devices that showed the speed of the implementation of the scale of nanosecond, while the software application of algorithms is measured in seconds. The software was implemented in this research using MATLAB 2010 language code as well as the VHDL language to deal with use of FPGA device, which was of a kind (Xilinx XC3S500E Spartan-3E).

Mohammad Basheer Ismael Kasim, Rawaa Mohammad Jarjees, AbdulKareem Sulayman Hasan (Author)
August 2013 ,Pages 39.0-56.0

Abstract: ABSTRACT In this study (16) different local isolates of the yeast like fungus Aureobasidium pullulans were obtained. These isolates were isolated from uninfected leaves of many wild and cultured plants. These isolates were identified as real isolates of A.pullulans depending on the microscopic examination to determine the polymorphic form of this fungus. These isolates were screened regarding their efficiency to produce gluconic acid. Two isolates only, A.pullulans MU1 and A.pullulans MU2 showed a high ability to produce gluconic acid. The two isolates were tested to produce gluconic acid in the liquid media. A.pullulans MU1 showed a high ability to produce gluconic acid after three days of incubation and therefore this isolate was selected in the latter experiments. In order to enhance the ability of the isolate to produce the acid we study the effect of the medium culture components from carbon and nitrogen source on the production. The results showed that best carbon source to produce maximum quantity of the acid was sucrose at the concentration of 15% so gave (15.1) g/L and best nitrogen source was ammonium chloride at the concentration of (4.8) g/L so gave (25.45) g/L of gluconic acid.

August 2013 ,Pages 57.0-65.0

Abstract: ABSTRACT The fungus Aspergillus ustus was isolated from external ear inflammation. This fungus rarely infects human because it infects immunocompromised patients causing cutaneous, endocarditis and pneumonia infections. It is also a pathogenic plant and contaminating the crops. The effect of alcoholic extract of leaves of Achillea millefolium (yarrow), Salvia officinalis (sage) and Cassia spp.(seena), was tested by using four concentrations for each extract 5,10,15,20 mg/ml. Results were compared with the antifungal ketoconazole and with the biocontrol agents Trichoderma viride and Trichoderma harzianum. It is noticed that the highest percentage of inhibition was at concentration 20mg/ml for all the plant extracts used for inhibition percentage for A. millefolium, S. officinalis and Cassia spp.were 56.6%, 83.3% and 100% respectively. For ketoconazole the percentage of inhibition was 100% for all concentrations used in this study. The biocontrol agents T. harzianum and T. viride proved to have a high antagonistic ability against the pathogen. This proves that the alcoholic leaves extracts of these plants were more inhibitory for the fungus in addition to biocontrol agents.

Mustapha Arab Mohammad, Atyaf Subhi Mohammad (Author)
August 2013 ,Pages 66.0-80.0

Abstract: Abstract The electrical characteristics for Schottky barrier devices Au/n+-GaAs which have been radiated with two different doses of -ray at (3.41, 5.26)107 rad with -radiation and unradiated at range of different temperatures (93-333 K) are compared. It was found that the effect of temperature on I-V characteristics at forward bias for this devices are decreases as the radiation dose increase. Activation energy and barrier height measurement show that the conduction current are change from thermonic emission before radiation process to generation-recombination in lightly -radiated devices, while for highly radiated devices the conduction current is different to that. It was found a reduction in leakage current by using Schottky devices with guard ring structure which fabricated by photolithography technique, the electrical characteristics of this radiated devices show low effect to radiation and high stability.

August 2013 ,Pages 81.0-94.0

Abstract: Abstract The aim of this study is to determine the optimum value of the laser powers and to determine the least possible time for irradiation at which upon then may obtain the maximum degree of shear bond strength of composite material with the tooth. Teeth groups where etched by continuous wave CO2 laser in different power and energy densities for each group, and one group was etched by phosphoric acid solution. Some of them were selected for study used for photography by using light microscope. After a bonding procedure for the remaining teeth, the teeth had been subjected to sheer bond strength tests by using a universal testing machine and the result were recorded in megapascal unit (Mpa). Under light microscope, we saw the patterns of enamel etching by laser similar to that of acid etching, but not uniform and some groups produce poor etch pattern, compared to that of acid etched enamel. The bonding force of composite material adhered to laser etched enamel is less than that for acid etched enamel.

Huthama Abd Mohammad Sulayman (Author)
August 2013 ,Pages 120.0-131.0

Abstract: Abstract The Infrared spectroscopy in the frequency range (400 cm-1) to (1000 cm-1) of (MgO)x(Fe2O3)1-x compounds at room temperature have been investigated. These compounds result from the solid state reaction of the Fe2O3 and MgO oxides at high temperatures around (1000 Co). The infrared spectrum of these compounds show two main absorption bands; the first band, ν1 is caused by the stretching vibrations at the tetrahedral sites and the second band, ν2 is caused by the stretching vibrations at the octahedral sites of the lattice structure. Values of ν1 are higher than ν2. Moreover, the force constants of the bonds at the tetrahedral sites, Ftet and octahedral sites, Foct have also been calculated. Values of Ftet are higher than those of Foct. The results of this study agree quite well with the related studies for these compounds

August 2013 ,Pages 194.0-215.0

Abstract: Abstract: Hiding secret information and data in a cover such as audio, image, or video files makes the files unsuspicion for the an reader. So, this is the main reason for this research in the steganography field, comparing with encryption methods. The encrypt text pay the tracker to use various methods to break the encryption and get the original text. While the steganography draw no attention, and the reader may pass over it without doubt thus, the file and the hiding data stay without damage. This paper presents a new method for hiding data in a text using color variance. In the recovery step, the text file of the covered message converted to digital image form, and image processing methods used to extract the hiding data from it. The proposed method applied on Arabic and English texts. Most types of attacking are applied in the messages. It shows a high efficiency versus all applied types of attacking. Matlab 2010a is used in programming the proposed method.

August 2013 ,Pages 224.0-242.0

Abstract: Abstract Biometrics has received considerable attention in recent years to its importance in the life process that starts from security systems at airports and criminal investigations to electronic banking. The use of (biometrics) is the most important parameters used in the disclosure of the identity of persons. The fingerprint, ear print recognition and automatically signature are important in the area of biometrics technology. So ear research recognition is improved broadly during the past decades and current years of other biometric research because their features are fixed and their change is expected. Biometrics are defined in many definitions as one of them "as any part of the body properties and that can be used to identify persons". And also know as "as a measure of physical properties or character traits". The aim of the proposed work is to build an efficient system of person identification based on ear biometrics through the use of (Geometrical Feature Extraction of Ear). Images are collected from a database of ear color images from (Zsged) database. The completed initial processing of these images, by changing the size of these images using the method (Bilinear). Then, the image has shifted to the grayscale and define the edges of the gray image using filter (Canny). An Eleven features are extracted from the right ear of a person. The right ear has been chosen after reviewing the researches and analysis the area that related to the ear that the right ear is more efficient to distinguish sounds instead of the left one, which distinguish the music. These attributes are stored in the feature database to be beyond the testing phase and compared ear to be identified after extraction characteristics in the same proposed algorithm with recipes pictures prayer in the database. Correlation coefficient is dependent as a similarity measure between the input images entered to the system with image database. The results of the proposed work represented by FAR (False Accepted Rate) and FRR (False Rejected Rate) a great performance compared with other works in the same field. The system programs are applied by the use of (MATLAB Version R2009a) system.
