Published: November 2020

Abstract
Removing or reducing speckle noise is one of the main goals to ensure high quality panoramic ultrasound images of muscles and tendons. The presence of noise in the ultrasound image adds a difficulty in the interpretation of the image by clinicians and researchers. In this work, non-liner filter (local adaptive median filter (LAMF1)) has been developed to do a precise detection for speckle noise pixels and reduce its impact on the ultrasound images. It has been applied on three different types of ultrasound images: Based on using set of assessment metrics: Speckle Suppression Index (SSI), Speckle Suppression Mean Preservation Index (SMPI), Enhanced Edge Index (EEI) and Mean Preservation Speckle Suppression Index (MPSSI)), the new local adaptive median filter (LAMF2) has been compared to LAMF1 and Anisotropic Diffusion Filter (ADF). The performance of developed filter (LAMF2) outperformed the performance of LAMF1 as follows: SSI (3%), SMPI (4.79%), EEI (3.7%) and MPSSI (40%). Besides that, ADF has a high level of SSI, SMPI and MPSSI compared to new filter (LAMF2). However, ADF reported better numerical evaluations (EEI) than LAMF2. It is possible to obtain further performance improvements by combining characteristics of both filters (LAMF2 and ADF).

Published: November 2020

Abstract
The “green building” is a new concept that attributed to the buildings that provide all the conditions and abilities to protect the environment and support it during its reconstruction and living in it and promote the reality to the best. Therefore, the subject is addressed by dividing the research into five topics, the first, discussing the elements and objectives of “sustainability” and the second, the difference between ordinary buildings and “sustainable buildings”. The third discusses with the reconstruction strategy in Iraq, its obstacles, and the afflicted cities. The fourth is the conversion of ordinary buildings into “sustainable buildings”. As for the fifth, the results are singled out. Finally, comes the recommendations and sources. The study concluded that “sustainability” support the “sustainable building”, by taking environmental elements in all stages of construction. It improves the life of the dwelling person, increases worker productivity and reduces energy, material and resource consumption. A balance was achieved between the biosphere and the residents of the building. Iraq today needs to draw a clear strategy for the reconstruction of destroyed areas and cities, taking into account the criteria of “sustainability”, and the criteria of “sustainable design”, to achieve balance and keep the environment clean and livable.

Weighted averages of cross-sections have been used to calculate the astrophysical S-factor and thermonuclear reaction rates as a function of the center of mass energy, Ec.m. and T9 respectively. Polynomial expressions have been used to fit the calculated astrophysical S-factor and thermonuclear reaction rates to determine the astrophysical S-factor at various Ec.m. and thermonuclear reaction rates at various T9 from best fitting equations with minimum Chi-Square. Empirical formulae of reactions set 45Sc(p,n)45Ti, 48Ti(p,n)48V, 55Mn(p,n)55Fe, 59Co(p,n)59Ni, 66Zn(p,n)66Ga and reactions set 48Ti(p,n)48V, 51V(p,n)51Cr, 59Co(p,n)59Ni, 63Cu(p,n)63Zn, 66Zn(p,n)66Ga have been used to calculate the astrophysical S-factor as a function of Ec.m. and Z and thermonuclear reaction rates as a function of T9 and Z of target nucleus.

Ozonation and ozone / UV process for industrial wastewater treatment: comparison between two types of wastewater
Authors: Albakrey Lina M. , Alabdly Hussein A. , Jaafar Mahdi Sh. 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
This study investigated the degradation of organic and inorganic matters of wastewater by conventional ozonation and ozone/UV AOPs. The experiments performed with two types of wastewater (synthetic and industrial) having the same chemical oxygen demand COD, varying solution pH and employing UV clearly showed that oxidation during ozonation process was dominated by OH reactions. Conventional ozonation with 2 g/hr maximum ozone dose led to 56% COD removal efficiency in synthetic wastewater, while 52% was estimated from industrial wastewater, both having the same initial COD value of almost 50 ppm and contact time of 80 min. In meanwhile, using UV improved the utilization efficiency of oxidation by reducing the OH scavenging contribution of oxidants, 62% and 70% were the efficiencies of industrial and synthetic respectively in ozone/UV applications. Therefore, combined ozone/AOPs shows better removal efficiency of toxic contaminants than using ozone alone.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
In the recent years, modern materials have been needed that will have a lasting impact in modern applications. The need for radiation therapy as an important means of modifying nanoscale structures in the manufacture of high performance polymer compounds has important advantages. The aim of this research is to measure the thermal conductivity for epoxy resin as a base material, Nano ceramic powder (SiC) with particle size (64.85nm), and nano Graphite powder with particle size (87.85 nm) are used as a reinforcement materials in composites preparating in different weight fractures (2%, 4%, 6%), while the Hybrid (SiC-Graphit) model are prepared by another weight fractures of (SiC and Graphite), Hand-casting method was used in preparation the research samples. The thermal conductivity tests were measured for all weight fractures in normal conditions (before irradiation). we find the values of thermal conductivity is increased with the increase of weight fractures because of the presence of the reinforcement material, including high thermal conductivity graphite compared to silicon. Tests of the thermal conductivity are measured after irradiation of Gamma rays emitted from the CO60 with energy rate of 1.33MeV and different irradiation doses (6,8,10)KGy. The results show an increase in the thermal conductivity values after the irradiation compared with the results of thermal conductivity in normal conditions. It is worth noting that an atomic force microscope (AFM) has been used to measure the particle size of nanomaterials.
