December 2005 ,Pages 47-56

Abstract: In this project, a simple model of the client/server relational database has been designed through using the idea of the SQL (Structure Query Language) server, and the single file of the database by the Micro software Access 2000. We also configure the TCP/IP (Transform Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) to make connection between two computers, on one of these computers, Windows 2000 NT Adv. Sever has been installed, and which is considered to be the server computer, and the other installed by the Windows NT XP Professional as the client computer. Finally, a normal security environment must be built to protect the information, or data-in-motion between two computers in order to increase the level of security to an acceptable level.

The Finite Difference Methods for Hyperbolic – Parabolic Equations
Abbas Al-Bayati, Saad Manaa, Ekhlass Al-Rawi (Author)
December 2005 ,Pages 57-71

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to construct numerical schemes using finite difference methods for the one-dimensional general hyperbolic- parabolic- reaction problem. The finite difference method with the exponential transformation form is used to solve the problem, and employs difference approximation technique to obtain the numerical solutions. Computational examples are presented and compared with the exact solutions. We obtained that the Crank-Nicholson scheme is more accurate than Forward scheme. Therefore the form of exponential transformation for the problem yields a stable solution compared with exact solution.

Basil Al-Khayyat, Sufyan Al-Dabbagh (Author)
December 2005 ,Pages 29-49

Abstract: The present study aims at construction of expert computer model for forecast of compressive strength of the Portland cement. This model is achieved by chemical data input through interface designed by matlab program. This is followed by calculation of the content of phases; namely, C3S , C2S , C3A and C4AF. Later on , connection with fuzzy logic interface were made. The formentioned phases represent the input to the fuzzy logic interface through the condition rules IF-THEN. After defuzzification, the values of cement compressive strength appeared on the interface. The evaluations were made through calculation of square difference of the results of fuzzy logic ( present study) and statistical methods.

Bashir Salih, Muhammad Ali (Author)
December 2005 ,Pages 67-86

Abstract: The aim of the project is to develop parallel approaches for both the simplex that are used in linear programming to solve linear module systems. Most of these models are time consuming when executed and processed in the sequential microprocessor computers. During the project, we try to decrease this time and increase the efficiency of the algorithm for the two methods simplex, through developing parallel methods appropriate to be executed on MIMD type computers. In this paper, three algorithms were suggested for paralleling (a developed algorithm and a comparison was made between the three algorithms and the original. This comparison is included in second section. In general, the practical results and the suggested programs for these new algorithms proved to be better in performance than their analogues that are executed in computers of sequential processor in view of the two elements of execution time and algorithm time.

Signal Distinction Electroencephalograms (EEG) Using a Back Propagation Neural Network Based On Localized Structural Features Extractions
Najlaa Safar (Author)
December 2005 ,Pages 87-100

Abstract: In this research, it localized structural feature selection method has been used as a base of quantifying structural changes with time for Electroencephalograms (EEG) obtained from four states two patient and two healthy with eyes open and eyes closed in both. Then these structural characteristics have been submitted to the back propagation neural network for the purpose of signal distinction  by the intelligent methods. BFGS Quasi-Newton Back propagation   function has been used with the data of the network. It gives good results at testing to the values of features extractions that they have not been training with, and it has been reached to the goal with minimum iteration from other common function that is used with back propagation neural network. The results for classifying EEG using back propagation neural network show that Alzheimer sick can be detected hardly 100% in many channels in case in taken EEG for the patient with eyes closed. The transformed inputs (from the original data of the signal to the features intentional in the research) are ideally suited for effective classification of EEG data. Recognition rates vary for each EEG channel data between 50-100% correct recognition in the four cases. The follow up method can be useful in several applications including time-series analysis, signal processing and speech recognition.

Basil Thanoon, Abeer Thanoon (Author)
December 2005 ,Pages 101-121

Abstract: In this research, we study video motion for movable object within video sequence, and the target is a ball, where video and image processing are combined together. The video files that we have here the Audio Video Interleaves (AVI) type. Here, the video frames have been are read from video file directly, then each frame is processed without the need of frames conversion into separate images. This research includes algorithm suggestion to estimate ball position in each video frame then plotting the ball motion track along the video sequence, by choosing ball initial position and creating ball-rounding window and applying the adaptable threshold to the produced window in order to obtain binary representation window. Recreational process for colors has been made to be used in the following video frame processing, than to find the center of the gravity of the ball for obtaining the predicted object position in the following frame. ActiveX Control is used to display video sequence inside MATLAB6.5 language thorough using Graphical User Interface. Also Root Mean Square Error is adopted as a measure for the adjacent position to the real position of the ball within the video sequence and the position that is found by using algorithm. The experimental results show the efficiency of the suggested algorithm to estimate the ball position accurately.

Faten Abd Alahad, Enaam Saeed (Author)
December 2005 ,Pages 123-141

Abstract: In this research a system for Arabic word segmentation into letters and recognition has been designed by dividing it into five groups (plosives, fricatives, nasals, glide and semi-vowel sounds) based on articulatory phonetics. This system include four main stages: Stage one: Endpoint algorithm has been used to identify the  beginning and the end of word. Stage two: A new segmentation algorithm has been suggested and implemented depending upon time domain features and Arabic phonology rules. Stage three: This stage includes letters feature extraction depending on linear predictive coding and system data base constructing which include vectors of features for the segmented letters from words and regarding letter recurring in different positions in the word. Stage four: Includes Arabic letters recognition according to articulation which entails using Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) method that uses dynamic programming basics to obtain the matching path for the least distance accumulated value, where the word used in segmentation and recognition belongs to the four persons who create the data base and the results were in consistence which ranged from (75- 80)%
