  • The purpose of this work was to apply geographical information system (GIS) for geostatistical analyzing by selecting a semi-variogram model to quantify the spatial correlation of the population distribution with residential neighborhoods in the both sides of Mosul city. Two hundred and sixty-eight sample sites in 240 ㎢ are adopted. After determining the population distribution with respect to neighborhoods, data were inserted to ArcGIS10.3 software. Afterward, the datasets was subjected to the semi-variogram model using ordinary kriging interpolation. The results obtained from interpolation method showed that among the various models, Spherical model gives best fit of the data by cross-validation. The kriging prediction map obtained by this study, shows a particular spatial dependence of the population distribution with the neighborhoods. The results obtained from interpolation method also indicates an unbalanced population distribution, as there is no balance between the size of the population neighborhoods and their share of the size of the population, where the results showed that the right side is more densely populated because of the small area of residential homes which occupied by more than one family, as well as the right side is concentrated in economic and social activities.

  • General free vibration characteristics of cantilevered circular cylindrical tanks are analyzed using the integral equations technique with the cubic spline functions. For computations, the partial differential equations for thin shallow shells as given by Flugge's have been employed after the addition of the inertia forces. The application of the method is illustrated with a numerical examples of tanks which are free at the top edge and fixed at the bottom. The results obtained by this method have been compared with the available results and a good agreement was found.

  • The objective of this study was to determine effects of temperatures and pH of sodium chloride solution with MgCl2 ions on corrosion resistance of duplex stainless-steel X2CrNiMoN22-5-3 (DSS) and Ti 6Al 2Nb1Ta1Mo (Ti). Effects of sodium chloride concentration on corrosion resistance were also studied. Corrosion behavior and pitting morphology of duplex stainless steel (DSS) and Ti alloys were evaluated through potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that a decrease in pH significantly reduced the corrosion resistance of both alloys. Changes in chloride concentration and temperature had more substantial impact on corrosion behavior of DSS than on Ti alloys. Pitting corrosion was formed on DSS samples under all conditions, whereas crevice corrosion was developed on Ti samples with the presence of magnesium chloride at 90 ℃. In conclusion, magnesium chloride ions in an exceedingly strong acidity solution appear to interact with re-passivation process at the surface of these alloys and influence the resulting surface topography.

  • As hypergeometric meromorphic multivalent functions of the form $$L^{t,{\rho}}_{{\varpi},{\sigma}}f(\zeta)=\frac{1}{{\zeta}^{\rho}}+{\sum\limits_{{\kappa}=0}^{\infty}}{\frac{(\varpi)_{{\kappa}+2}}{{(\sigma)_{{\kappa}+2}}}}\;{\cdot}\;{\frac{({\rho}-({\kappa}+2{\rho})t)}{{\rho}}}{\alpha}_{\kappa}+_{\rho}{\zeta}^{{\kappa}+{\rho}}$$ contains a new subclass in the punctured unit disk ${\sum_{{\varpi},{\sigma}}^{S,D}}(t,{\kappa},{\rho})$ for -1 ≤ D < S ≤ 1, this paper aims to determine sufficient conditions, distortion properties and radii of starlikeness and convexity for functions in the subclass $L^{t,{\rho}}_{{\varpi},{\sigma}}f(\zeta)$.

  • US Army Found Five Lessons For the Urban Operations After Implemented Offensive Operations in Mosul, Iraq for the First time in the 21st Century. Based on these lessons the US Army Adds Spur Preparing For Future Megacity Operations Such as Weapon System, Warfighting Concept, Structure and etc. Korean peninsula experiences rapid Urbanization, so the Megacities are also Expected to Increase by this trend. So the ROK army also need to Benchmark the US Counterpart, so that the Organization needs to prepare following Elements. First, Establishing Collective Intelligence Platform for uture Megacity ops. Second, force Builing Optimized for the Megacity Operations(Warfighting Concept, Weapon System, Structures), Lastly, Establishing Megacity Synthetic Training field. By Preparing so, ROKA can Assure its Success in Future Warfare.

  • Multiple regression analysis was used for the calculation of pKa values of 15 substituted benzaldoximes by using various types of descriptors as parameters. These descriptors are based on quantum mechanical treatments. They were derived by employing semi-empirical calculation represented by the PM3 model and an Abinitio method expressed by Hartree-Fock(HF) model performed at the 6-311 G(d, p) level of theory. The parameters tested for their ability to represent the variations observed in the experimental pKa(s) are atomic and structural properties including Muliken charges on the atoms of hydroxyl group and C=N bond, the angle $C_6-C_1-C_7$, and length of O-H bond. Molecular properties are also used like energies of HOMO and LUMO, hardness(${\eta}$), chemical potential(${\mu}$), total energy(TE), dipole of molecule(DM), and electrophilicity index(W). The relation between pKa values and each of these parameters of the studied compounds is investigated. Depending on these relations, two sets of parameters were constructed for comparison between the PM3 and HF methods. The results obtained favor the Abinitio method for such applications although both models proved to have high predictive power and have sufficient reliability to describe the effect of substituents on pKa values of benzaldoxime compounds under consideration which is clear from the values of correlation coefficient $R^2$ obtained and the consistency between the experimental and the calculated values.

  • The main goal of this study is to prepare a program for analyzing High Strength Steel Fibrous Reinforced Concrete (HSSFRC) slabs and predict the response and strength of the slab instead of preparing a prototype and testing it in the laboratory. For this purpose, new equations are proposed to represent the material properties of High Strength Steel Fibrous Reinforced Concrete. The proposed equations obtained from performing regression analysis on many experimental results using statistical programs. The finite element method is adopted for non-linear analysis of the slabs. The eight-node "Serendipity element" (3 DoF) is chosen to represent the concrete. The layered approach is adopted for concrete elements and the steel reinforcement is represented by a smeared layer. The compression properties of the concrete are modeled by a work hardening plasticity approach and the yield condition is determined depending on the first two stress invariants. A tensile strength criterion is adopted in order to estimate the cracks propagation. many experimental results for testing slabs are compared with the numerical results of the present study and a good agreement is achieved regarding load-deflection curves and crack pattern. The response of the load deflection curve is slightly stiff at the beginning because the creep effect is not considered in this study and for assuming perfect bond between the steel reinforcement and the concrete, however, a great agreement is achieved between the ultimate load from the present study and experimental results. For the models of the tension stiffening and cracked shear modulus, the value of Bg and Bt (Where Bg and Bt are the curvature factor for the cracked shear modulus and tension stiffening models respectively) equal to 0.005 give good results compared with experimental result.
