December 2014 ,Pages 13-24

Abstract: In this paper, the stability and dynamics of a thin liquid films flowing down on an inclined plane are investigated by using integral approximation. The strong non-linear evolution equations are derived by the integral approximation with a specified velocity profile. The evolution equations are used to study the linear stability for liquid films. As a result, output of this research, we showed that the effect of inclination of films is an unstable factor.

New Scaled Proposed formulas For Conjugate Gradient Methods in Unconstrained Optimization
Abbas Al-Bayati, Marwan Jameel (Author)
December 2014 ,Pages 25-46

Abstract: In this paper, three efficient Scaled Nonlinear Conjugate Gradient (CG) methods for solving unconstrained optimization problems are proposed. These algorithms are implemented with inexact line searches (ILS). Powell restarting criterion is applied to all these algorithms and gives dramatic saving in the computational efficiency. The global convergence results of these algorithms are established under the Strong Wolfe line search condition. Numerical results show that our proposed CG-algorithms are efficient and stationary by comparing with standard Fletcher-Reeves (FR); Polak-Ribiere (PR) CG-algorithms, using 35-nonlinear test functions.

A Comparative Study of Wavelets Methods for Solving Non-Linear Two-Dimensional Boussinesq System of Type BBM-BBM
Ekhlass Al-Rawi, Ahmed Qasim (Author)
December 2014 ,Pages 47-63

Abstract: In this paper, numerical techniques based on the wavelets methods are proposed for the numerical solution of non-linear two-dimensional BBM-BBM system and we compared between them. Two methods used in numerical solutions, are the Haar wavelets and Legendre wavelets methods.In addition, we derived formulas of integrals for Legendre wavelets analytically. Its efficiency is tested by solving an example for which the exact solution is known. The accuracy of the numerical solutions is quite high even if the number of calculation points is small, by increasing the number of collocation points, the error of the solution rapidly decreases. We have found that the Legendre wavelets method is better and closer to the exact solution than the Haar wavelets method.

Using Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Image Compression
Baydaa Khaleel (Author)
December 2014 ,Pages 65-81

Abstract: Image compression helps in storing the transmitted data in proficient way by decreasing its redundancy. This technique helps in transferring more digital or multimedia data over internet as it increases the storage space. This  research presents some methods to compress digital images using Artificial Intelligence Techniques(AITs) that include from fuzzy logic, swarm intelligent technique, and artificial neural networks. Traditional clustering algorithm k-means and AITs were used, such as Gath-Geva fuzzy clustering algorithm, and Particle Swarm Optimization Technique(PSO), and combined Gath-Geva with backpropagation neural network to produce a new method which is called Fuzzy BackPropagation Network (FBPN) algorithm, by applying these methods on gray level and color images and then applying compression algorithm RLE on it to obtain compressed image. Image quality measures have done by Peak Signal to Noise Ratio(PSNR), Mean Square Error(MSE), and Bitperpixel(bpp), compression ratio (CR) have been computed. Finally, a comparison between results after applying these algorithms on the images data set was obtained.

On П – Pure Ideals
Shaimaa Ahmad (Author)
December 2014 ,Pages 83-86

Abstract: As a generalization of right pure ideals, we introduce the notion of right П – pure ideals. A right ideal I of R is said to be П – pure, if for every a Î I there exists b Î I and a positive integer n such that an ≠ 0 and  an b = an. In this paper, we give some characterizations and properties of П – pure ideals and it is proved that: If every principal right ideal of a ring R is П – pure then,    a).L (an) = L (an+1) for every a Î R and for some  positive integer n . b). R is directly finite ring.  c). R is strongly   П – regular ring.

December 2014 ,Pages 37-51

Abstract: In this paper we benefiting from Satellite imaging to retrieve information by using its contents, which is the pixels value of the image and by using the information of groups of pixels like texture, color gradation etc….then analyzing these information to extract spatial and temporal information of this images. Content Based Information Retrieval (CBIR) technique was used to retrieve image contents depending on visual objects of it. Support Vector Machine (SVM) technique was put into use by depending on more than one function like polynomial and RBF, then applying every one of them alone with the training image with different blocks size, then using block size and function that give best result from the training phase to be applied on the test images. The Satellite imaging was classified into two areas; desert and none desert in order to find the desert percentage of each image and comparing increasing of the desert percentages in Al-Hatra Region as a typical desertification area in nenavah governorate on different temporal periods. The language used in building the system is Matlab R2011a.

December 2014 ,Pages 73-87

Abstract: Documentation process plays a great role in software systems development and maintenance, and regarded as an important feature for all software projects and programs in general. In the past, documents had been generated manually by documents writers, but these documents were very weak and had many errors, Therefore, automated documentation had been invented due to its good features that is complete, precise, and cheap compared with manual ways. The work concerns with constructing an automated tool ADT(Auto Documentation Tool) used for documenting source code for programs written in java programming languages in legacy systems particularly and for programs in general which does not have any documentation at all or it were documented poorly in order to make them, and producing as a result of the document process either the class diagrams using UML (Unified Modeling Language( or producing easy understandable textual output using XML (Extensible Markup Language).
