AGE AND GENDER IMPACT ON GLYCAEMIC CONTROL, RENAL FUNCTION AND OXIDATIVE STRESS PARAMETERS IN IRAQI PATIENTS TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS
...Show More Authors

Type 2 daibetes mellitus (T2DM) is a global concern boosted by both population growth and ageing, the majority of affected people are aged between (40- 59 year). The objective of this research was to estimate the impact of age and gender on glycaemic control parameters: Fasting blood glucose (FBC), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), insulin, insulin resistance (IR) and insulin sensitivity (IS), renal function parameters: urea, creatinine and oxidative stress parameters: total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Eighty-one random samples of T2DM patients (35 men and 46 women) were included in this study, their average age was 52.75±9.63 year. Current study found that FBG, HbA1C and IR were highly significant (P<0.01) increased by increasing age. The lowest level of FBG was in the age group 30-39 years, which was a high significant (P<0.01) lower than other age groups 40-49, 50-59 and ³ 60 years. The highest level of HbA1C was in advanced age group ³ 60years, which was significantly (P<0.01) highest than other groups 30-39, 40-49 and 50-59 years. The highest level of IR was in the older age group ³ 60 years, which was significantly (P<0.01) highest than other age groups 30-39, 40-49 and 50-59 years. Insulin hormone level showed no significant (P>0.05) differences between age groups. Insulin sensitivity decreased in older age group ³ 60years compared with the other age groups with a highly significant differences. The results shows a highly significant (P<0.01) increasing in levels of urea and creatinine with increasing age. The lowest level of urea was found in 30- 39 and 40-49 year compared with other age groups, highest levels of creatinine were in 50-59 and ³ 60 age groups, which were significantly (P<0.01) highest than 30-39, 40-49 years age groups. In present study, the levels of TAC decreased by age. Third age group 50-59 showed the lowest level of TAC, which was significantly (P<0.05) lower than other age groups 30-39, 40-49 and ³ 60 years. Statistical analysis showed that the level of ROS was significantly (P<0.05) increased in advanced age groups 50- 59 and ³ 60years compared with other age groups 30-39 and 40-49 years. Statistical analysis revealed a significant (P<0.05) increased in levels of FBG in women compared with men, while insignificant differences (P>0.05) found in the HbA1c and insulin levels. A highly significant (P<0.01) increased in IR value was also found in women compared with men. Also, statistical analysis show that IS value was significantly decrease in women compared with men. The statistical analysis showed a nonsignificant differences for increasing levels of urea in women compared to men, while current finding showed a highly significant (P<0.01) increase in creatinine levels in men as compared with women. The present study showed insignificant increasing in the mean of TAC in men compared to women. While, the mean of ROS was significantly (P<0.05) increase in women compared to men.

BCI-Based Smart Room Control using EEG Signals

In this paper, we implement and examine a Simulink model with electroencephalography (EEG) to control many actuators based on brain waves. This will be in great demand since it will be useful for certain individuals who are unable to access some control units that need direct contact with humans. In the beginning, ten volunteers of a wide range of (20-66) participated in this study, and the statistical measurements were first calculated for all eight channels. Then the number of channels was reduced by half according to the activation of brain regions within the utilized protocol and the processing time also decreased. Consequently, four of the participants (three males and one female) were chosen to examine the Simulink model during di

EMG-Based Control of Active Ankle-Foot Prosthesis
...Show More Authors

 Most below-knee prostheses are manufactured in Iraq without considering the fast progress in smart prostheses, which can offer movements in the desired directions according to the type of control system designed for this purpose. The proposed design appears to have the advantages of simplicity, affordability, better load distribution, suitability for subjects with transtibial amputation, and viability in countries with people having low socio-economic status. The designed prosthetics consisted of foot, ball, and socket joints, two stepper motors, a linkage system, and an EMG shield. All these materials were available in the local markets in Iraq. The experimental results showed t

Experimental Test of Magneto-Rheological Directional Control Valve
...Show More Authors

Directional control valve is the main part in hydraulic system which has complex construction, such as moving spool to control the direction of actuator for required speed. Utilizing MR fluid properties, direct interface can be realized between magnetic field and fluid power without the need for moving parts like spool in directional control valves. This paper dedicates the experimental test of four ways, three position MR directional control valve. The experimental methods were done by connecting the MR directional control valve with hydraulic actuators. The experiment was conducted to show the principle work of the valve functionally and performance test for valve was done. The valve works proportionally to control the direction a

Analysis of Magnetorheological Normally Close Directional Control Valve
...Show More Authors

This valve is intended for use in valves for steering movement, using the qualities of the Magneto-rheological (MR) fluid to regulate the fluid, direct contact without the utilization of moving parts like a spool, a connection between electric flux, and fluid power was made, The simulation was done to employ the" finite element method of magnetism (FEMM)" to arrive at the best design. This software is used for magnetic resonance valve finite element analysis. The valve's best performance was obtained by using a closed directional control valve in the normal state normally closed (NC) MR valve, with simulation results revealing the optimum magnetic flux density in the absence of a current and the shedding condition, as well as the optimum pr

The family found itself confused any of the methods of dealing (Control - democracy) follow to reach the best level in education, what was favorite yesterday about a father dealing with his children control which showed generations characterized by high levels of self-esteem and decision-making, today rejected and opposed it. As some believe that a sense of control generates a negative represented by fear and frustration.
Find the goal of preparing the current scale of the father control when junior high students.
To achieve this goal, has been preparing a tool to measure the father control after that, the researcher extract the validity and reliability of the scale, and then applied to a sample of 500 students from junior high sch

Robust Computed Torque Control for Uncertain Robotic Manipulatorss
...Show More Authors

This paper presents a robust control method for the trajectory control of the robotic manipulator. The standard Computed Torque Control (CTC) is an important method in the robotic control systems but its not robust to system uncertainty and external disturbance. The proposed method overcome the system uncertainty and external disturbance problems. In this paper, a robustification term has been added to the standard CTC. The stability of the proposed control method is approved by the Lyapunov stability theorem.  The performance of the presented controller is tested by MATLAB-Simulink environment and is compared with different control methods to illustrate its robustness and performance.
