المستخلص: ان عملية التخزين المؤقت لديها مشكلة رئيسية تكمن في " اي من البيانات يتم اخراجها من الذاكرة الوسيطة في حالة عدم وجود البيانات المطلوبة" لكي تكون الذاكرة قابلة للاستخدام من جديد.هنالك جهد متواصل من الابحاث والدراسات التي اجريت لحل هذه المشكلة من اجل سد الفجوة الزمنية بين وحدة المعالجة المركزية عالية السرعة والذاكرة الرئيسية واطئة السرعة.هذا العمل اقترح خوارزمية استبدال جديدة للذاكرة الوسيطة عن طريق جمع الافكار وافضل المميزات لخوارزميات الاستبدال للاقل حداثة والاقل تكرارا مع هيكل جديد للذاكرة (مثلث ثنائي الابعاد) مع حد عتبة يتناسب مع حجم ذاكرة التخزين المؤقت.ونتيجة لذلك, هذه الدراسة اثبتت ان الخوارزمية المقترحة حصلت على نسبة وجود للبيانات اعلى مقارنة مع خوارزمية الاقل حداثة بنسبة (87.50%) ومع خوارزمية الاقل تكرارا بنسبة (96.00%) وازالت العديد من المساوئ التي كانت الخوارزميات السابقة تعاني منها.واخيرا, هذا العمل استنتج بان الموازنة بين "الحداثة" و"التكرار" مع الهيكل المقترح للذاكرة يوفر العديد من المميزات لم تكن جميعها موجودة في اي من الخوارزميات السابقة. واقترحت استخدام معامل ثالث مثل "مجموعة العمل" من اجل دقة اضافية في قرارات الحذف. | Caching has a major problem in making the decision of ''which blocks to evict from cache memory in case of a cache - miss occurs'' so that the memory can be reused. An ongoing effort of researches and studies have been carried out to solve this problem to bridge the cycle time gap between high speed Central Processing Unit (CPU) and low speed Main Memory (M.M).This work proposes a new cache replacement algorithm by combining ideas and best features from Least Recently Used (LRU) and Least Frequently Used (LFU) algorithms with the new structure (Two - dimensional Triangle) with a threshold that commensurate with the size of cache size. As a result, this study proves that the proposed algorithm has obtained higher hit ratio comparing to (LRU) with a percentage of (87.50%) and comparing to (LFU) with a percentage of (96.00%) and eliminates many disadvantages that the previous algorithms had Experienced. Finally, this thesis concludes that balancing between the 'Recency' and 'Frequency' with the proposed cache structure provides many advantages not all exist with any other previously known algorithm. And suggested to use a third factor such as the Working Set (WS) for additional accuracy in eviction decisions.

المستخلص: As technology is advancing, the requirements on face recognition which is one of biometric technologies are growing day by day. During the last years, numerous researchers have introduced various techniques and various algorithms for reliability and accuracy face patterns recognition.In this thesis Face Recognition System is presented. The framework is made of two parts : training phase and testing phase.There are two fundamental stages shared between the two phases of the system; the reading of the image stage and the face detection stage.After reading an image as bmp file, it is passesed to face detection stage which includes five steps; color transform, skin detection, noise removal, filling holse, and face localization. Four color spaces are used : RGB,YCbCr, HSV in the face detection stage and YIQ in the feature extraction stage. Also, medain filter is used to remove the noise, morphology operation is used to close the separated regions that appeared in face image, while connected component labeling (CCL) is used to determine the closed region .Two features are used in order to determine accurate face; the area of expected face and connected component operators ( Compactness, Solidity and Orientation ) . Next, two feature are extracted from the accurate face. This is achieved via FractalImage Coding(FIC) method with fixd block size partitioing ,which in turn is used to make a decision in the recognition stage of the system. These two features are the binary file which includes the face’s IFS code sets, dimensions and the coding parameters , and the second feature is fidelity criteria Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR). Face recognition system is tested over FEI face dataset and the recognition rate that has been achievedis 88% .i

Therefore, the authenticity and security of biometrics data drew attention significantly in research areas. In this thesis, the focus is placed on proposed optimal solution to achieve authenticity of multimodal biometrics data that are stored in databases, transmitted through noisy channels and used in remote biometric systems. This thesis introduces a multimodal biometric data authentication based on adaptive watermarking system. Actually, the proposed system consists of two parts which are iris watermarking schema and speech watermarking schema. The main idea is summarized in embedding speech features as watermark in iris image and embedding iris features as watermark in speech signal for the same individual. In both schemas, Region of Interest (ROI) should be avoided in order to keep the areas that are used in identification systems without any change. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to select appropriate hiding locations in iris image and speech signal which will store the watermark. The authenticity of iris images and speech signals is done by matching between extracted watermark and extracted features. Performance of the proposed system has been evaluated with statistical indicators and different types of attacks. Experimental results have achieved high efficiency in establishing the authenticity of biometrics data. Values of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) for watermarked iris images is (58 - 70) dB with different capacity of watermark (150 - 2000) byte and values of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) for watermarked speech signals of different time duration is (45 - 60) dB with fixed capacity of watermark (1400) byte. Values of Tamper Assessment Function (TAF) (between extracted watermark and extracted features) for watermarked iris images and watermarked speech signals are (0 - 0.0068

المستخلص: بسبب التطور السريع في مجال الاتصالات والوسائط المتعددة والاستخدام المتزايد للانترنت، فقد اصبح امن بيانات الوسائط المتعددة ملحا جدا. اثنان من التقنيات الفعالة لتحقيق امن بيانات الوسائط المتعددة هي تقنيات التشفير واخفاء المعلومات .في هذه الرسالة ندرس اسلوبا علميا لنظام اخفاء معلومات صورة مشفرة في ملف صوتي (Cover Audio). في البداية يتم تطبيق خوارزميات مختلفة ومنها خوارزمية الحديثة RC4)) وخوارزمية الفوضئ (Multiple - Logistic Maps)) .لعبت نظرية الفوضئ دورا هاما في تقنيات التشفير والاخفاء في الوقت الحاضر بسبب افضل امنها وادائها وفقا لتسلسل العشوائية التي يتم انشاوها من نظام الغير خطية بسرعة عالية. عملية التشفير والاخفاء تكون بصورة غير متسلسلة عن طريق استخدام "Chaotic Maps" لتوليد مفاتيح للتشفير ومواقع عشوائيه للصوت(Stego Audio). الصورة السرية المشفرة يتم اخفاءها داخل (Cover Audio) لانتاج (Stego Audio) ولكن باجراء بعض التحويلات . واحدة من هذه التحويلات هي ((DWT التي تسخدم للتحويل من مجال ( Time Domain) الى مجال اخر يسمئ المجال الترددي (Frequency Domain).عملية التضمين تكون في المجال الترددي العالي ومن ثم الرجوع الئ المجال الاول بتطبيق معكوس تحويل المويجة المتقطع (IDWT).اثبتت النتائج المتحصل عليها من الاختبارات التجريبيه للنظام المقترح هي تقنيات قوية وفعالة وفقا لمقاييس ( Information Entropy ≤ 8)(PSNR ≥ 40), (SNR ≥ 40), (Runs Test ≥ 0.01), (Frequency Test ≥ 0.01), (Serial Test ≥ 0.0.1), (Correlation Coefficient ≤ 1). | Due to the rapid development in the field of communications and multimedia and the increasing use of the Internet, multimedia data security has become very urgent. Two of the efficient techniques to achieve the multimedia data security are cryptography and steganography technologies.In this thesis introduces a workable method for steganography system encrypted image into a cover audio file. Initially, different encryption algorithms are implemented based on modified modern cipher (Hybrid RC4 using Logistic and Tent maps) and chaotic maps (Multiple - Logistic maps). The chaos theory has played an important role in cryptography and steganography. Chaos based encryption and embedding algorithms are employed at the present time because of their best security and good performance according to the random sequences that are generated from nonlinear system in a high speed calculations. The chaotic map is used to generate the encrypted keys and the random locations of stego audio. The encrypted secret image is then embedded in cover audio to produce stego audio after some transformations. One of the transformations is Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) that used as an embedding technique by converting the cover audio from time domain to frequency domain. The Inverse Discrete Wavelet Transform (IDWT) is applied to produce the auditory stego audio. The obtained results from the experimental tests proved that the proposed encryption and embedding algorithms are a powerful and efficient techniques according to the higher (Entropy ≤ 8), (Correlation ≤ 1), (PSNR ≥ 40), (SNR ≥ 40), (Runs Test ≥ 0.01), (Frequency Test ≥ 0.01), and (Serial Test ≥ 0.01).

المستخلص: Homomorphic encryption is a type of encryption that allows performing computation on ciphertext and returning an encrypted result. The decrypted of the result is equal to the same result when performing the same computation on plaintext. Homomorphic encryption has become more useful and more important in many different cryptographic applications such as voting protocols, cloud computing and private information retrieval.The main aim of thesis is to introduce the concepts of homomorphic encryption and how to exploit these concepts to solve open problems in cryptography field. A remote e - Voting system is designed and implemented using homomorphic encryption as an example of these problems. The homomorphic properties in ElGamal cryptosystem are exploited to achieve two important voting prerequisites : first, the security of device used for electronic voting by voter. Second, the voter has the ability to choose willfully and without force. The system achieves the privacy of voters. That mean no one can link the identity of the voter and his vote. The privacy is preserved by using homomorphic encryption which can count the results without revealing the individual votes. In addition to privacy, the system achieves the other general voting system requirements such as eligibility, accuracy, fairness, Receipt - freeness, coercion resistance, mobility, simplicity, individual verifiability, scalability and availability.The structure of the system consists of four stages : setup, registration, voting and tallying. The concepts of object oriented software engineering and unified modeling language are adopted in the stages of developing the system.Finally Java programming language (NetBeans IDE 8.0.2), MySQL (WampServer64 - phpMyAdmin) and Pacestar Unified Modeling Language (UML) Diagrammer V 6.38 are used as tools for implementation.

المستخلص: Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems perform well when using a close - talking microphone, However, many environments (Hands - free) where the use of such microphones is undesirable for reasons of convenience. In a hands - free environment, the noise and reverberation degrade the accuracy of recognition. An enhanced approach using microphone array for speaker localization and enhancement of speech signal input to an automatic speech identification system was proposed. The proposed system using enhanced beamforming technique based on Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR) for speaker localization with multi - microphone arrays. The strongest output beam signal corresponding to selected microphone array, used for the speaker identification. The identification phase based on using Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficient MFCC for feature extraction and enhance LBG algorithm for speaker modeling.Speaker identification accuracy in using proposed method were compared with conventional beamforming method, It was found that the higher recognition accuracy than previous approaches, and in experiments using speech signals that were artificially corrupted by additive noise. The proposed system provided a consistent, improvement in recognition accuracy for several experiments in simulation environments. It is also showing the benefit of usingmicrophone array processing. The localization phase evaluated using SNR, showing enhanced ratio after applying enhanced beamforming that estimate speaker location. The results showing localization accuracy 96.8% and 98.1% recognition accuracy where achieved.

المستخلص: The usage of Online Social Networks, such as Facebook and Twitterbecomes more and more popular in order to exchange and disseminate news andinformation in real - time. Twitter in particular allows the instant dissemination ofshort messages in the form of microblogs to followers. This dissertation exploresand examine the usage of how social networks, such as the microblogging toolTwitter, can help in the detection of spreading epidemics and reducing time delaybetween the emergence of disease and report sick to the health authorities suchas World Health Organization (WHO).Text classification has been used to classify the patients and non - patients(positive / negative). Sentiment Analysis (SA) and Linear Support VectorClassifier (LSVC) have been applied in the classification patients. In thisdissertation, four diseases have examined. Diseases that have most similarity intheir symptoms have been taken in order to classify patients based on theirsymptoms by applying a recommendation system techniques. Symptoms - basedHealthcare Recommender System is new approach in this work. It uses patientsymptominstead of user - item in traditional Collaborative Recommender System.Collaborative Filtering (CF) has been applied in order to recommend whichdisease the patient may has. CF shows an indicator that users on Social Networkshave not enough knowledge to mention all symptoms for specific disease, that’sled to classify patients to more than one disease according to common symptomsthat mentioned by patients.Geolocation of users that classified as patients has been extracted in orderto recommend health authorities that there is a certain area might has a beginningof spread disease. An implicit geocoding of users has been extracted by usingGoogle Maps Geocoding API to avoid neglecting those who don’t have explicitgeolocation.IISuspected areas has been weighted by computing a Confidence Factor(cFactor) of Tweet source whatever it comes from mobile or desktop. cFactorhelp in reducing time consuming into 29% of collecting and processing data.Weighted and Geographic Symptoms - based Recommender (WGSR) model hasbeen created detect, classify and visualize patients on the map.The accuracy of WGSR model reached to %94 in the classification andmore than %80 with the real reports of World Health Organization (WHO) whichrefers as a very good and can be improved for better results.

المستخلص: Fractal Image Compression (FIC) is one of the lossy techniques. In order for fractal compression image to be encoded is partitioned into non - overlapping blocks called ranges. From this range pool creates a new array called domain pool, the data of domain is array produced from taking an average of every four (2x2) adjacent elements in the range array, the domain is divided into overlapping blocks. Each block in range pool should be matched with every large number of blocks in the domain pool in order to find minimum error and recorded its best IFS approximate. The decoder process applies the determined IFS transformations on any initial image, and the process is repeated many times until reaching the attractor. In this thesis, it presents reducing the long encoding time of FIC without making significant sacrifice in the quality. In addition to the traditional fractal compression method, four IFS coding methods have been tested.The first method is speed up encoding phase by using moment features of the domain blocks with threshold , this method it compute the moment features of domain blocks only , during the matching process, compares the ratio factor of domain block with threshold, then compute the scaling (s), offset (o) coefficients and minimum error between range and domain blocks, and storing the optimal IFS coding , the results of this method with lenna image (4x4) block size, (the encoding time = 50.29 sec), (compression ration= 4.57 ) ,(PSNR=24.04), (RTR=33.42 ). The second method is speed up encoding phase by using the entropy technique of the domain blocks only , during the matching process, compares entropy value of domain block with threshold, and storing optimal IFS coding , the results of lenna image(4x4) block size, (the encoding time = 95.47sec), (compression ration= 4.47 ) ,(PSNR= 24.08) and (RTR= 17.60) . In the third method it merges the entropy technique with moment features of domain blocks only , during the matching process, compares entropy value and moments ratio factor of domain blocks with threshold and storing IFC coding, the compression results of lenna image (4x4)block size , (encoding time = 100.90 sec), (compression ration=4.47) ,(PSNR= 24.11) and (RTR=16.66) , the flaw in this method is the encoding time of 16x16 partitioning more than 4x4 and 8x8 partitioning. In the fourth method speed up encoding phase by use moment features of the range and domain blocks, in this method it computes the moment features of range and domain blocks, during the matching process, if the moments ratio factor of range and domain blocks are equal then compute scale(s),offset(o) and error (R) .storing best IFS coding. the results of lenna image(4x4) (encoding time = 114.02 sec), (compression ration= 4.47) ,(PSNR= 24.43), (RTR=14.74), the flaw in this method is the encoding time of 16x16 partitioning more than 4x4 and 8x8 partitioning. Matlab R2008a was used as a program to designed and implemented to achieve the coding and testing tasks. The environment used for our tests is a single PC with processor (core i3 CPU 2.53GHz) and 4.00 GB RAM .

المستخلص: Cryptosystems becomes an increasingly important feature as the most reliable tool in network and information security. However, while there are many forms of cryptosystems exist today a weak link of all systems is the secure management of the cryptographic key. And as a result of the growing interests in biometrics a new field of research has emerged, which is called "biometric cryptosystems". Within biometric cryptosystems the advantages of biometric authentication are introduced to generic cryptographic key management systems to enhance security.This work proposes a scheme to bind a cryptographic key with the face biometric by combining correlation filters based biometric recognition with a biometric key binding scheme with providing the variation tolerance, discrimination and security which are the most important requirements that apply to a cryptographic key retrieval using a biometric. In the proposed scheme the cryptographic key is generated independently of user's face image using Pseudo - Noise generator to produce a unique and long enough key (128 bits) for each user then this key is linked to the face image only through a secure block of data known as the 'protected record'. The correct key will only be derived via the interaction of this protected record with the correct user's face image during a live authentication process. The resultant key may be used in a system as cryptographic key or as a personal identification number (PIN) to overcome the need to carry, store, or remember keys for cryptosystems or any other application that are used (PIN).The proposed scheme performance has evaluated using FACE 94 facial database. The performance rate reached to 100% which is a perfect result for practical applications. The proposed scheme is implemented using (MATLAB 2008). It is executed for testing purpose on computer with processor of 1.80 GHZ dual core, i3 under Microsoft Windows 7 operating system.

These effluents are a major source of aquatic environmental pollution. The wastewaters are composed of oil and grease, toxic organic compounds along with many other minerals. In this study, wastewater of Al - Najaf petroleum refinery was used as electrolyte solution in the experiments, and the effect of some variables on the removal of organic material as a pollutant in term of COD were studied. The performance of anodic oxidation represented by COD removal was studied using 1 liter batch - mode parallel plate electrochemical reactor at constant initial COD concentration and fixed agitation speed of 250 rpm with the variation of operating conditions that were expected to have a major effect on process. These variables were : electrodes material (platinum, stainless steel, graphite, PbO2, and carbon felt), current densities (5, 15, 25) mA cm - 2 for carbon felt electrode and (10, 30, 50) mAcm - 2 for other electrodes, pH (4, 7, 10), temperatures (25, 40, and 55)?C and with electrolysis time up to 120 minutes. The results show that the direct anodic oxidation process gave the best COD removal percent of 84.88% and 86.27% at 50 and 25 mA cm - 2 current densities for PbO2 and carbon felt anode materials, respectively. The highest COD removal was predicted at pH 4 and the best temperature at 55?C for all electrode types. The reaction was followed by pseudo first - order kinetics rate. As well, it was studied the effect of current density on the current efficiency, instantaneous current efficiency, energy consumption, charge load with the time and calculated activation energy.

المستخلص: Silica nano particles were prepared from Iraqi rice husk (al - Najaf province) by precipitation method. Rice husk (RH) was treated with two different concentrations of inorganic acid (i.e. 1 & 3 N HCl) then burning at 700 °C under two heating rates. Chemical composition of rice husk ash (RHA) determined by X - Ray fluorescence (XRF) was contained about 89.5 wt% and 95.2 wt% SiO2 by treatment with 1N HCl at 10 and 5 °C/min heating rates for 3 hrs, respectively. While, XRF analysis was given 97.5 wt% SiO2content in RHA by treatment with 3 N HCl at 5 °C/min heating rates for 2 hrs. 3N HCl and heating rate at 5°C/min seems to be the best method to reduce the metallic ingredients and to obtain highly purified nanosilica powder at a purity of 98.9 wt%.The prepared nanosilica was also characterized by X - ray diffraction (XRD), BET surface, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), in order to investigate its properties.X - ray results revealed a strong single beak of 2? at about 22° with an amorphous phase. Surface area was measured for nano silica to be 298 m2/g. The average diameter of prepared nanosilica is 89.58 nm as obtained by AFM analysis. Rice husk is seen to be a frugal waste material, high silica content, and it will be able to apply as a natural source of silica for preparation the zeolite - Y catalysts rather than burnt or dumped it as waste, causing environmental and health problems. On the other hand, the commercial source of silica (i.e. Ludox As - 40) is industrially used with other materials for synthesizing the zeolite type - Y catalyst and economically it has an expensive cost. Hence, it is essential to find out another pathway for silica source.This work deals with the replacing of costly commercial precursors of silica by a cheap natural nano - source silica from Iraqi RH. As such this study focuses on the optimization of percentages of natural and/or commercial silica applied within either seed gel or feed stock gel in the zeolite - Y synthesis process in order to investigate the effect of the nature of the silica used on both the structural properties of produced of Y - catalyst as well as on the catalytic performance of these catalysts in hydrocarbon cracking reactions forimproving the production catalytic activity and selectivity. Commercial zeolite - Y catalyst was laboratory prepared by means of commercial silica source and named as “A” sample, whereas other four samples of zeolite catalysts were successfully synthesized with a desired zeolite - Y phase and so - called “B, C, D and E” using different percentages of natural silica source. All the achieved samples are investigated by characterization techniques (i.e. XRD, BET - surface area, Pore volume, FTIR SEM, AAS, and EDX). The synthesized HY - catalyst samples were catalytically tested in the cracking of Hexane (C6H14) through an experimental cracking rig, and the reaction products were analyzed by GC. The performance of Iraqi RH zeolite type - Y catalysts was compared with the commercial lab HY - catalyst. Catalyst B prepares from only natural nanosilicasource and in comparison with other synthesized Y - catalysts; it gives the best catalytic behavior with 98 - 95 mol% conversion together with the selectivity domination of isomer and normal paraffin within the reaction products during more than 2 hrs at 450 °C. This result confirms that the use of natural silica source can be enhanced the catalytic properties of zeolite type - Y catalyst.

The first one was accomplished by the insertion of pilot symbols between the data stream that entering the encoder. In this way the pilot symbols are encoded along with the input data (encoded or internal pilots) in contrast to the usual way where pilots are inserted after encoding (unencoded or external pilots). The positions where pilots should be inserted are chosen in such a way that to improve the minimum Hamming distance and/or to reduce the error coefficients of the code. Moreover, the known pilots have higher reliability than data and can significantly improve the initial decoding.The second proposed algorithm includes the utilization of the inserted pilots to estimate scaling (correction) factors. Two - dimensional (2D) correction system was suggested in order to enhance the performance of traditional Minimum - Sum (MS) decoding of regular RA codes. By calculating the mean square difference (MSD) between the values of received pilots and the a - posteriori data of bit and check node related to them, which are created by the MS decoder, an adaptive method can be achieved for getting the correction factors.Since encoded pilots in systematic RA code are embedded in data, it is possible to puncture all or part of them to increase the code rate. The pilots still have their effect on increasing the minimum Hamming distance.Extensive simulation tests reveal that the suggested quasi - optimal algorithms supply error performance be able to compare as Sum - Product (SP) decoding whilst maintain less complexity. Practical experiments are carried out by utilizing the capability of data acquisition toolbox supported by MATLAB to provide a hardware interface with the computer sound card. Here, the sound card plays the role of ADC and DAC converter in the physical layer. A different graphical user interfaces (GUI) are designed for the transmitting and receiving terminals to facilitate the selection of different code options. Signals are transmitted over wireless channel using a 2.4 GHz band indoor audio tranceiver. According to the aquired results, the modified coding system outperforms the original one when it is tested over AWGN and fading channels. An improvement may be realized about 1.5 dB and 1.3 dB at BER=?10?^( - 5) for punctured and unpunctured systematic (50,35,3,7) code with adaptive scaling, with three encoded pilots over AWGN channel and about 3.4 dB and 3.3 dB at BER=?10?^( - 4) for punctured and unpunctured systematic (50,35,3,7) code with constant scaling, with two encoded pilots over fading channel.

المستخلص: Widespread wireless communications system in the last few years, leads people to ask many questions about the advantages and disadvantages of those systems, especially about electromagnetic waves pollution and their effect on human health.The mobile device is frequently used by the general public from adult to child, one of the main sources of electromagnetic waves and very close to the human head. Therefore the focus of this research on the impact of electromagnetic waves from mobile to human health by measuring the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), at the human head and the hand through SEMCAD - X that uses the Finite Different Time Domain (FDTD). SAR computation uses (FDTD) in the way the limited space of time, to calculate the specific absorption rate. The results have been compared with standards averaged over any 1 g of tissue and averaged over any 10 g of tissue. It didn't exceed the applicable standard.This work evaluates specific absorption rate (SAR) at different ages of three people. Firstly, old man, who was estimated to head 100% size of header used in the program SEMCAD - X. Secondly Adult man was estimated his head by 85% size of header used in program, and finally the child who was estimated his head by 65% size of header used in the program SEMCAD - X, the design hand has been used with all cases.The design of the mobile phone software works in four different packages of frequencies; the packets are the center frequencies 900MHz 1800MHz, 2100MHz and 2400MHz, when increased frequency the SAR increased but in the some state and frequency decreasing.The Evaluation of SAR in the head and the hand of the user device and the generic phone, the highest value of SAR decreases with increasing distance between the generic phone and the user's head and reducing the proportion was 50% for the old man, 40% for adult man and 35% for child. It can be noted that the angle of the rotation of the various frequencies is not fixed, while the ratio approximately is 25% for each angle of rotation.Also, it can be noted that for fixed frequency, the input power is increased to a double and the SAR have been used increased almost to a double.The different positions show that the methods of holding generic phone have a significant impact on the value of SAR. Therefore, the value of SAR can be reduced into 90% when using the correct method.The evaluation of SAR in these cases shows their influence on children and it was much greater than the adult human or old human by parentage 40% old man and 35% adult man.

المستخلص: Solar energy systems based on photovoltaic (PV) cells have attracted considerable interest in recent years due to their abilities of clear and seemingly limitless generated energy. Solar energy systems based on microinverter architectures are earning in publicity as they are less prone to shading and PV cell malfunction since each PV panel in the system has its own low power inverter.In this thesis two alternative modes of operation for the current source flyback microinverter are suggested : the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), where a constant switching frequency (CSF) control method is applied, and the boundary conduction mode (BCM) between continuous conduction mode (CCM) and DCM, where a variable switching frequency (VSF) control method is used. These two control methods are analytically studied and compared in order to establish their advantages as well as their suitability for the development of an inverter for grid - connected PV applications.An optimum design methodology is developed, aiming for an inverter with the smallest possible volume for the maximum power transfer to the public grid and wide PV energy exploitation. The main advantages of the current source flyback microinverter are very high power density and high efficiency due to its simple structure, as well as high power factorregulation. The design and control methodology are validated by Powersimulation software (PSIM) and a laboratory hardware prototype is buildusing analogue and digital devices.The microcontroller type (PIC - 18F45K22) is used to implement perturb and observe (P&O) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm, and C language is used for programing the microcontroller. The simulation and experimental results are obtained to verify the proposed flyback microinverter.

المستخلص: اصبحت محركات التيار المستمر عديمة الفرش شائعة جدا في الكثير من المجالات مثل في الصناعة والتطبيقات المنزلية؛ وذلك يعود الى مميزاتها العديدة على محركات التيار المستمر ذوات الفرش والمحركات الحثية؛ مثل كفائتها العالية, كثافة قدرتها العالية وحجمها الصغيرنسب | Brushless DC (BLDC) motors have become very popular in various fields such as in industry or home appliances; and that is due to their many advantages over the brushed DC motors and the induction motors such as their higher efficiency, high power density and respectively low volume. The traditional and most popular way to drive BLDC motor is by using six - step or trapezoidal technique. This technique however has several problems such as high torque ripple and high distortion in the currents. This thesis presents a BLDC motor drive system where the performance of the motor is improved on various aspects. The first aspect is to improve the speed response by using particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique to find the optimal parameters of the speed controller. The second aspect is to reduce the torque ripple associated with the traditional driving technique and also improve the dynamic response of the motor by using vector or field - oriented control to drive the motor. The third aspect is improving the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the voltages and currents by using multilevel inverter. The last aspect is driving the motor in sensorless operation for reduced cost and for applications where speed and position sensors cannot be used; this operation uses a flux - linkage observer with a phase - locked loop (PLL) structure to estimate the position and speed of the rotor. The control methods are modeled using MATLAB/Simulink program and the results show that the proposed systems has significant improvement in performance as compared with the traditional technique in terms of speed response, torque ripple and THD of the voltages and currents

المستخلص: Face recognition plays an important role in many applications like security, banking, access to buildings, and surveillance …. etc.Because of the face image can significantly change due to changing in some factors, such as lighting conditions, facial expression, and others factors, therefore face recognition is still a challenging mission. Useful properties of the Contourlet Transform (CT) are exploited in this thesis to investigate more discriminant features to enhance the face identification performance. In this thesis, a face identification system is suggested based on CT, and Multi - Layer Neural Network (MLNN) Classifier. The main reasons behind using the CT are : First, the CT supports progressive data compression/expansion, hence it is used for image compression. Second, the features in human face are not just horizontal or vertical. CT is utilized for feature extraction because it is a genuine 2D transform that can capture the edge information in all directions. After decomposing an image by CT, low and high frequency coefficients of CT are calculated in different scales and various angles. Most significant information of faces is contained in coefficients, which is important for face identification. The frequency coefficients are utilized as an input feature vector for a neural network classifier. Simple feed forward MLNN neural network is used to achieve the identification process. The network parameters are tuned to optimal values, in order to produce fair comparison between different types of feature vectors. To evaluate the algorithm performance, seven standard databases, and a proposed database are used. Some of them are of high variability, to examine the algorithm robustness against variability. In addition, the proposed algorithm is also evaluated using a generated database composed from five databases. Then the suggested method is compared with other classical feature - based methods such as, wavelet, Principle Component Analysis (PCA), and CT - PCA. The results indicate that the CT - based method has better identification (ID) rate, and is faster than the Wavelet - based and the PCA - based methods. This is due to the high sparsity of the CT and its efficient capability of compression. The ID rates obtained for a tested databases are Japanese Female Facial Expression (JAFFE) database (100%), face 94 database (99.34%), proposed database (98.55%), ORL database (96.5%), Senthil database (92%), Yale database (90%), FERET database (76.2 %), and FEI database (72.57 %), and comparing with other systems, an average identification rate 90.64% for the CT, 85.71% for the Wavelet, 53.92% for the CT - PCA, and 46.7% for the PCA for all tested databases.Moreover, the characteristics of low and high frequency sub bands a are studied with their effect on ID rates. The simulation results indicate that the best identification rates are obtained when using only the low frequency sub - band for all tested databases

One of the things influenced the characteristic of electrical power is the constancy of frequency. To this end, the generator unit is equipped with an automatic load frequency control (LFC) to adjust the active power produced and restore the frequency and tie line power exchange to their nominal value.The total model of a hybrid power system has a high dimension. The classical design tools are inadequate to cope with all dynamic features. Artificial intelligence techniques are found to be a promising tool to optimally minimize the transient dynamics and control efforts in a load frequency control. This thesis shows the execution of various Artificial Intelligence techniques on the tuning of PID controller in a load frequency control system to compute the PID controller. The techniques of genetic algorithm technique GA, particle swarm optimization PSO and artificial bee colony ABC were applied on four areas, six tie lines power system. The dynamic model was formulated in state variables form. A comparison between these techniques with different performance indices was presented. Results of the test system 1 and 2 were computed and compared. They showed that in test system 2 the load frequency controller can chase the load fluctuation in a short time. The IAE performance index gives an optimum dynamic performance using ABC. From the outcomes, they show that the test system 2 outputs regarding settling time and maximum overshoot were the best performances.

المستخلص: Stereo vision system is a technique for finding depth data for digital images.The stereo vision system is used to obtain a 3D data from 2D scene taken by two optical cameras (left and right cameras); the taken images can be used to find the distance of the objects. A number of algorithms for stereo vision system have been developed and the matching algorithms. This work focuses on the traditional algorithms used the Normalized Cross Correlation (NCC), Sum of Absolute Differences (SAD) and the modified version of SAD algorithm. This method is called the Canny Block Matching Algorithm (CBMA) which can find the disparity map. The proposed algorithm contains two parts; the Canny edge detector and Block matching technique with SAD to determine the disparity map and reduce the execution time, the execution time of the CBMA is between (0.35 - 0.43secs) and neglected the effect of the windows size results in the CBMA algorithm. The interpolation method is used which consists of median filter and interpolation techniques (i.e., the most common techniques : bilinear, 1st order and 2nd order polynomial) to enhance the output results images.The error percentage has been reduced about 2% for the disparity map of the CBMA algorithm after used the bilinear interpolation method with block size [3x3] and the execution time is reduced by the step size windows. MATLAB program has been adopted to write the proposed algorithms codes. While, the interpolation techniques has been implemented using in Microsoft Visual Basic (6.0). The camera calibration and image rectification is used to find camera parameters and to simplify the correspondences search. The system was implemented using two identical cameras with baseline (16cm) to detect the distance objects.

The charger is the most important part of the solar system because the only limited - age part of this system is the storage batteries. Storage batteries are essential in all standalone PV power systems. Their efficiency and life time affects significantly the overall PV system performance and economics. The storage battery's effectiveness depends on the charging process. Hence, this thesis deals with the study, simulation and design of an intelligent charger fed by solar system due to the latest technologies.The developed charging method entitled "the decreased charging current based on state of charge" is adopted in this thesis to charge a lead - acid battery.

In this study, developing a folded microstrip antenna based on a novel antipodal Vivaldi structure based metamaterial inclusions of single negative properties is proposed for wideband applications. Although, Vivaldi antennas show unlimited bandwidth, an acceptable directivity, small size, light weight and easy to fabricate, but, it suffers from low gain due to traveling surface waves effects and therefore, it cannot be embedded inside the integrated systems ,where, the radiation direction is in the end - fire that limits their use to the outdoor applications. Therefore, a remarkable attention was the first in the literature, is proposed in this thesis by introducing single negative metamaterials to the folded antipodal Vivaldi antenna structure. This work is developed based on a systematic approach which can be divided mainly into four parts : First of all, design a single negative metamaterial structure of a surface area 5×5 mm2 on an FR4 - Epoxy substrate. The unit cell properties are evaluated numerically and analytically, then, compared to the measurement. Second, a systematic approach is applied to design an antipodal Vivaldi antenna based flat profile of a corrugated shape with 50×38 mm2 on the FR4 - Epoxy substrate. Third, the best arrive of the flat geometry is folded on a hello Teflon substrate of an elliptical cross - sectional area. Fourth, the folded antenna structure is surrounded by a U - shaped single negative metamaterial array. The performance of the all proposed antennas are evaluated numerically, then, compared to their measurements in both S11 and radiation patterns. It is found that the antenna bandwidth has affected insignificantly by applying the metamaterial structures. However, with respect to the flat antenna model, the gain is increased generally by 6 dB as well as the radiation pattern is oriented to the broadside. It is worth to mention that the achieved enhancement in the gain is mostly attributed to the folded substrate and the metamaterial introduction. While, the bandwidth enhancement is mostly obtained from the folded antenna structure. The optimum structure shows a first mode around 1.4 GHz and the second one at 2.86 GHz, while, the flat antenna only one mode at 1.5 GHz is appeared.Finally, the HFSS, CST MWS, Matlab and ADS software packages are used in this thesis to study the unit cell performance and the antenna structure. Excellent agreements have been found between the simulated and measured results.

المستخلص: This in vitro study was conducted to evaluate and compare the efficiency of XP - endo Finisher, EndoActivator sonic irrigation system and the NSK Varios ultrasonic irrigation system in removing dentin debris at three levels of root canals and to compare the percentage of dentin debris among the three levels for each irrigation system. Sixty freshly extracted upper molar teeth with straight palatal root canals were used in this study. All canals were prepared with ProTaper NEXT rotary files to size X4, 1mm from the anatomic apex with irrigation of 1 ml 2.0% NaOCl between the files. After that the samples were randomly distributed into three groups of twenty samples each, irrigated with 1 ml 2.0% NaOCl, followed by irrigant activation for 60 seconds with three different irrigation systems; group one, by using the XP - endo Finisher; group two, by sonic irrigation using the EndoActivator system; and group three, by ultrasonic irrigation using the NSK Varios, then all the groups received a final rinse of 5 ml 2.0% NaOCl. After the final rinse, the roots were split longitudinally into two parts and photographed with a professional digital camera. The digital images were then transferred into a computer and opened in Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 software and the canal was magnified 200x. The percentage of dentin debris remaining at the apical level (0 - 3mm), the middle level (3 - 6mm) and the coronal level (6 - 9mm) was calculated by dividing the number of pixels occupied by the dentin debris at each level by the number of pixels representing the entire canal area. Data were analyzed statistically by ANOVA and LSD at 1% and 5% significant levels. This study showed that cleaning the canal with the XP - endo Finisher or NSK Varios ultrasonic irrigation system resulted in significantly cleaner canals (P<0.01) than the EndoActivator sonic activation system at all canal levels. The XP - endo Finisher resulted in cleaner canals than the NSK Varios ultrasonic irrigation system at all levels, but the difference is not statistically significant (P>0.05). The apical level of all the canals showed a greater amount of dentin debris (P<0.01) compared to the middle and coronal levels, regardless of the irrigation device used.

المستخلص: t is important to analyze and compare the stresses induced in different composite material types during load application to know which type of composite will behave as preferred under the loading in the same circumstances. This study aimed at measuring and comparing the stress induced in Filtek ™ Z350 XT (3M ESPE) composite, Tetric EvoCeram ® (ivoclar vivadent) composite and BRILLIANT ™ NG (Coltène/Whaledent) composite experimentally and numerically.Experimental analysis included cavity preparation in the Brass block with a concave (U - shape) cavity which represent a proximal cavity preparation. This cavity was used as a mold for sample preparation. The internal line and point angles of the cavity (mold) were rounded and the dimensions of the cavity (mold) were 10mm × 10mm × 10mm (Total height of the box × Width of the top side of box × Length of the top side of box). The internal diameter of “U” was 5 mm at the base of the box. The mold was used to prepare forty five samples, fifteen samples for each type of composite material. So, three groups were prepared : Group A filled with Filtek ™ Z350 XT composite material, Group B filled with Tetric EvoCeram ® composite material and Group C filled with BRILLIANT ™ NG composite material.Electrical strain gauge (Tokyo Sokki, Japan) was embedded in composite material horizontally at the same level in each sample. Static load of 50 N was applied perpendicular to the center of the occlusal surface of composite restoration in each sample testing. The strain gauge was connected to a Wheatstone bridge with a signal amplifier which measures the strain during load application and gives the amplified signal from (0 to 4.8 volt) to LabJack data acquisition where a stream software give the final values of strain with the aid of a scaled equation of voltage. Then, the von Mises stress (effective stress) was calculated by using equations. Numerical analysis was done by using ANSYS 16.1 - (2015) (finite element tool) software that was used to create the 3 - Dimensional models represented the same materials and dimensions used experimentally. The physical characteristics of the composite models were inserted in the software which included Elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio (?). Analysis was selected in a finite element method according to boundary conditions. A mesh size and an element size were estimated during the study. The stresses were calculated at static load of 50 N with the ANSYS 16.1 - (2015) software.The data were analyzed statistically by One - way ANOVA test and Least Significant Difference (LSD) test. One - way ANOVA test and LSD test results showed that there was a highly significant difference (P<0.001) presented between groups A and B, groups A and C and between groups B and group C. The Stress induced in BRILLIANT ™ NG composite after load application was the lowest stress value followed by Tetric EvoCeram ® composite and followed by Filtek ™ Z350 XT composite which was the highest stress value experimentally and numerically.

المستخلص: Although investigators have evaluated the microleakage of porcelain laminate veneers, there is insufficient data regarding the durability of porcelain laminate veneers bonded to existing composite fillings. The aim of this study was to evaluate the microleakage of porcelain veneers restorations fabricated from two types of CAD/CAM ceramic blocks bonded to teeth with or without composite class V composite filling.Forty eight sound, crack - free human maxillary first premolar extracted for orthodontic reasons were selected for this study. Teeth were divided randomly into.2 main groups, which further divded into 2 groups (12 sample each). Group A1 : IPS e.max CAD veneers with standardized class V composite filling, Group A2 : IPS e.max CAD veneers, Group B1 : VITA Suprinity veneers with standardized class V composite filling, Group B2 VITA Suprinity veneers. The class V cavities was restored with nanofilled composite (Filtek™ Z350 XT, 3M ESPE). Standard veneer preparations were made using Ceramic veneer burs system (Keramikveneers. de, Komet). All the veneers were milled by CAD/CAM technology (CEREC MC XL, inLab SW 15, Sirona Dental Systems) Composite fillings (groups A1 and B1) were sandblasted with alumina oxide.Porcelain veneers were cemented in place using light - cured resin cement (Rely Veneer Cement, 3M ESPE), Then the specimens were stored at 37? in distilled water for 2 weeks. Then mechanical load cycling (50,000 load cycle of 49 N at 2.5 Hz) and thermocycling procedure (500 cycles of 5 - 55 Co with 20 sec dwell time) were done. The specimens’ crowns were immersed in 2% methylene blue dye for two days, then mounted in clear acrylic before sectioning with a 0.35 mm microtome. Microleakage percentage were recorded using stereomicroscope and ImageJ program. Results were checked for normality of distribution (Kolmogorov - Smirnov test and Shapiro - Wilk test), and were analyzed with twoway ANOVA and independent samples t - tests. Two way ANOVA shows the significant effect of type of ceramic restoration and the highly significant effect of composite filling, however, the interaction between the main factors was non - significant. The results showed that the lowest mean of microleakage percentage was recorded for group A2 (4.6058% ± 1.5091) which considered statistically significant compared to group B2 (6.105%±1.456), and statistically highly significant compared to group A1 (6.6075%±1.3259) while group B1 recorded the highest mean of microleakage percentage (7.3158%±1.38713). In conclusion, the type of ceramic restoration and the presence of class V filling both had significant effects on microleakage of porcelain veneers. IPS e.max CAD veneers had significantly lower microleakage percentages compared to VITA Suprinity veneers. The presence of class V composite filling within the cervical finishing line of porcelain veneers had a highly significant higher microleakage percentage compared to groups without composite filling.
