The Transformation of environments surrounding human which called (place), formed an intermediate compresser in forming awareness pictures, human knowledge, culture and thought features, and changing the systems and contexts of human societies, which led to a change the rhythm of life as a whole. So according to that the place will be encodes according to these data for psychological connotations, lead to human sense of harmony with the place in different manner format, here the search problem lies when trying to detect how Iraqi artist deliberating with the place concept, wondering how to investing place in the contemporary Iraqi drawing within its reference dimension, and showing mechanisms from comparative study for the works of two artists, who formed the place element a radical axis in their works, how are each of the artist Nuri al-Rawi, and the artist Saad al-Tai. And the place within the data human culture and thought, represents civilizational reference and national privacy, and the art dimension is a part of data of human culture and thought. So it carries a great mutants for the place. Hence the importance of research comes to be as a new dimension on the level of critical analysis to detect the references and attributes of this concept in the identity of Iraqi art. So the search aims: to detect referential dimension of place in the Iraqi drawing among contemporary contexts, and showing it in the work of artists Nuri al-Rawi and Saad al-Tai.
Based on the correlation of both - knowledge and place, for that each of this knowledge founded its theories about the concept of place, both according to its data and orientations, as the problem of the place is from philosophical problems which be placed within the circle of simple search even to be impossible of the same place, but the concept of the place was more fortunate in the field of philosophical studies in general, and monetary and literary and artistic especially, so had to stand starting from the concept of the place, and the theory of place in art and literature from the perspective of aesthetic and semantic, of where correlation between place and time for literary space with creativity space. On this basis, many descriptions developed for the place types, correlated with the most important concepts within the dialectic forming place within the field of fine arts, which are include: real place, symbolic place, assumption place, and imagined place. And then shed light on the mechanisms represent the place in trends of modern art (global and Iraqi), which varied from symbolic realistic representation for inherited significances reaching to absent the place or neglect its recipes and breakdown from domination imposed by its selected, or attempt to openness to the space of place in the work, which skips the boundaries of time and history.
After analyzing the samples that have been chosen are intentional, came researcher outcome of the most important: that the place manifestation different levels of expression at each of the artist Al-Rawi and artist Al-Tai, the Rawi was often clings to supposed place, while Tai moved from supposed place to symbolic place to the imagined place, the Al-Rawi often transcend on the realistic to place and transmit them to places with ideal characteristics, while Al-Tai transmitting recipes of example on the landscape seems to be linked to reality. And the place for Rawi reflects oftenly an externally part (village), but for Tai reflecting external parts and internal (special and private). The place devoid of all that is emotive in Al-Rawi, so its place are rapting meditating, while Al-Tai places are more emotive and movement from Al-Rawi places. In addition to the general results included the concept of place and its relationship with characteristics of the formation of the artwork.
This paper presents an experimental study for strengthening existing columns against axial compressive loads. The objective of this work is to study the behavior of concrete square columns strengthening with circulation technique. In Iraq, there are significantly more reinforced rectangular and square columns than reinforced circular columns in reinforced concrete buildings. Moreover, early research studies indicated that strengthening of rectangular or square columns using wraps of CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) provided rather little enhancement to their load-carrying capacity. In this paper, shape modification technique was performed to modify the shape (cross section) of the columns from square columns into circular colu

A true random TTL pulse generator was implemented and investigated for quantum key distribution systems. The random TTL signals are generated by low cost components available in the local markets. The TTL signals are obtained by using true random binary sequences based on registering photon arrival time difference registered in coincidence windows between two single – photon detectors. The true random TTL pulse generator performance was tested by using time to digital converters which gives accurate readings for photon arrival time. The proposed true random pulse TTL generator can be used in any quantum -key distribution system for random operation of the transmitters for these systems
The objective of this paper is to improve the general quality of infrared images by proposes an algorithm relying upon strategy for infrared images (IR) enhancement. This algorithm was based on two methods: adaptive histogram equalization (AHE) and Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE). The contribution of this paper is on how well contrast enhancement improvement procedures proposed for infrared images, and to propose a strategy that may be most appropriate for consolidation into commercial infrared imaging applications.
The database for this paper consists of night vision infrared images were taken by Zenmuse camera (FLIR Systems, Inc) attached on MATRIC100 drone in Karbala city. The experimental tests showed sign

The complexity and partially defined nature of jet grouting make it hard to predict the performance of grouted piles. So the trials of cement injection at a location with similar soil properties as the erecting site are necessary to assess the performance of the grouted piles. Nevertheless, instead of executing trial-injected piles at the pilot site, which wastes money, time, and effort, the laboratory cement injection devices are essential alternatives for evaluating soil injection ability. This study assesses the performance of a low-pressure laboratory grouting device by improving loose sandy soil injected using binders formed of Silica Fume (SF) as a chemical admixture (10% of Ordinary Portland Cement OPC mass) to di

The effective insulation design of the stress grading (SG) system in form-wound stator coils is essential for preventing partial discharges and excessive heat generation under pulse-width modulation excitation. This paper proposes a method to find the optimal insulation design of the SG system aimed at reducing the dielectric and thermal stresses in the machine coil. The non-uniform transmission line model is used to predict the voltage propagation along the overhang, SG, and slot regions considering the variation in the physical properties of the insulation layers. The machine coil parameters for different insulation materials are calculated by using the finite element method. Two optimization algorithms, fmincon and particle swarm optimiz

Background. Implant insertion in regions with poor bone quantity, such as the posterior maxilla, is potentially associated with an increased rate of implant failure. Calcium sulfate can be used as the coating material for commercially pure titanium (CpTi) and as the bone graft material around implants when bound to eggshell powder to enhance the bone quality and quantity of bone defect regions. This study performed a torque removal test to evaluate the effectiveness of eggshell powder as a bone substitute for filling bone defects around CpTi-coated implants coated with nanocrystalline calcium sulfate. Materials and Methods. Eighty screw implant designs were used in the tibiae of 20 white New Zealand rabbits. A total of uncoated 20 s

Concrete columns with hollow-core sections find widespread application owing to their excellent structural efficiency and efficient material utilization. However, corrosion poses a challenge in concrete buildings with steel reinforcement. This paper explores the possibility of using glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement as a non-corrosive and economically viable substitute for steel reinforcement in short square hollow concrete columns. Twelve hollow short columns were meticulously prepared in the laboratory experiments and subjected to pure axial compressive loads until failure. All columns featured a hollow square section with exterior dimensions of (180 × 180) mm and 900 mm height. The columns were categorized into
