The paper attempts to find out the elements of picaresque novel in selected English and Iraqi novels. It studies these elements in Henry Fielding’s Joseph Andrews and Adil Abduljabbar’s Arzal Hamad Al-Salim. The paper is divided into four sections. The first is an introduction to the picaresque novel. It gives a definition, a historical background, and the elements of the genre. The second section studies Fielding’s novel focusing on the elements of this type of novel and how it affects the story itself. The paper follows the novel from the beginning to the end showing these elements. The third is dedicated to Abduljabbar’s novel and how the elements of picaresque genre appear in the novel and play an important role in its developm

يمكن من دراسة الشخصية ان تكون المدخل الاساس في فهم السلوك الانساني إذ ينظر الى الشخصية الانسانية كونها تنظيماً ديناميكياً مكوناً من عدد من العناصر المتفاعلة مع بعضها البعض ، وهي عناصر غير ملموسة بل مظاهر وتفسيرات تلحق بالسلوك الانساني ، ويعتقد بعض علماء النفس ان افضل طريقة لفهم شخصية الفرد هي دراسة السمات والانماط الموجودة فيه وملاحظه مواقفه من ناحية الازمات والمشكلات التي تعتري الحياة الانسانية ، وبناءاً

In this work, a pulsed Nd:YAG laser(out put energy=5J and pulse
duration=300μsec) was used to perform drilling in samples of lead, stainless steel
304, brass, copper and aluminum. Laser irradiation was carried out in both air and
in a suitable chamber of controlled pressure inside. The effect of pressure inside the
chamber on the drilling process was investigated. Then, the chamber was filled with
argon gas to investigate its effect on drilling process where an enhancement in
drilling depth was observed compared to that in case of irradiation in air and
chamber of air pressure. As well, the effect of focus position on the process was
studied with the pressure varying inside the chamber in order to construct a

The revolution in technology made students plagiarize others’ work and submit it as their own. The aim of this study is to find the effectiveness of teaching paraphrasing strategies in reducing students’ plagiarism in university of Baghdad. The Sample of the study is randomly chosen out of eighty, fourth year college students. The materials were taught within eight weeks of instruction about paraphrasing strategies. Results represent that treating the experimental group with paraphrasing strategies have resulted in expanding the range of avoiding plagiarism in the post-test. Moreover, the findings showed that plagiarism is a problem for the students at a college level and their assignment submitted during the course of study includes a

Metaheuristics under the swarm intelligence (SI) class have proven to be efficient and have become popular methods for solving different optimization problems. Based on the usage of memory, metaheuristics can be classified into algorithms with memory and without memory (memory-less). The absence of memory in some metaheuristics will lead to the loss of the information gained in previous iterations. The metaheuristics tend to divert from promising areas of solutions search spaces which will lead to non-optimal solutions. This paper aims to review memory usage and its effect on the performance of the main SI-based metaheuristics. Investigation has been performed on SI metaheuristics, memory usage and memory-less metaheuristics, memory char

The issue of nuclear proliferation is one of the most vital issues as it reflects a form of dealing in the field of international relations. Therefore, the Middle East region has taken great interest in reducing the levels of nuclear armament and acquiring nuclear power within the strategic framework of the international and regional powers. The establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free zone in the Middle East region is currently one of the most important international and regional arrangements for controlling the levels of nuclear proliferation and attempting to build a state of stability and balance. In the Middle East and the world. The importance of the research comes from the fact that it deals with an important and vital issue

Crocidolomia binotalis (Cb) (Zeller) is one of the main pests of cabbage which is difficult for farmers to control in the Ijen Crater in Indonesia. The demand for cabbage in Indonesia is increasing every year, so intensification efforts are continuously being made. Farmers intensively use synthetic pesticides as the primary control of Cb. The purpose of this study is to examine several control agents that can be used as an alternative to synthetic pesticides. Then, it provides recommendations to Ijen Crater farmers to adapt in reducing the use of synthetic pesticides. The biopesticide used was based on the Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus strains of Spodoptera litura (SlNPV) and Helicoverpa armigera (HaNPV), botanical pesticides, and

الترسيب اللاكهربائي للنحاس باستخدام الفورمالديهايد كعامل مختزل واستخدام الفضة كعامل مساعد في تفاعلات الترسيب على المواد غير الموصلة مثل لدائن ABS لغرض استعمالها بصورة رئيسية في لوحة الدوائر الكهربائية للاجهزة الالكترونية. تم دراسة تأثير تراكيز الفورمالديهايد (10-100) مل/لتر وتراكيز ملح روشيل (10-150) غم/لتر على معدل الطلاء. وجد ان الظروف المثلى لتحقيق الطلاء هي 70 مل/لتر للفورمالديهايد و 94 غم/لتر لملح
