The surface of protection specimens was examined by using optical microscopes. The corrosion rate results show that using coating and inhibition methods give good results in increasing the corrosion resistance compared with the cathodic protection which gives an objective result depending on sacrificed pole.https://etj.uotechnology.edu.iq/article_42188_465d4962a38b76f4ea68e6605537d43c.pdfUniversity of Technology-IraqEngineering and Technology Journal1681-690030720120401Using Multiple Linear Regression Models to Determine the Effect of Some Factors on Consumption of Electricitrical Power in Basra1691784218910.30684/etj.30.7.15ENHaithm Saleem DawdSaad Mehsn SelmanLatefa Abdulla DawdJournal Article20120401Two methods of Multiple Linear Regression have been used in the current study.

The low cost of these cells and the easy installation as compared with BTSs is very important feature, one more feature is that Pico cells are more effective in dense phone usage areas and at the extremely high buildings, also as its radiation power is much less than BTSs so it has no health effects on human.This paper makes a design to support the network by using the technique of Pico cells in order to improve the signal quality inside dense phone usage areas and take multiple scenarios to show the importance of using such type of cells.

HassanWahid S. MohammadAyad F. HameedJournal Article20120401A three dimensional numerical simulation of fluid flow in a manifold-laterals system was carried out; several geometrical changes were made to study the effect on water flowing inside the manifold. The manifold hydraulic diameter and the length were kept constant in the study. The geometrical changes include the distance between laterals, the length of the laterals, and the laterals size. It is found that for Reynolds<br /> Number (100 and 1000), increasing the length of the laterals gives uniform flow profile at laterals outlet. Also reducing lateral size will create a similar effect. A good agreement was found between the present and FLUENT6.2 results for mass flow rate from laterals.https://etj.uotechnology.edu.iq/article_42160_75e0777309e1ef8b1260559945b1adc7.pdfUniversity of Technology-IraqEngineering and Technology Journal1681-690030720120401A New Approach on Decision Making for Multi- Objectives Problems114911534216110.30684/etj.30.7.4ENAllaiden N.

KassamJournal Article20120401Dynamic scheduling problem has been an attractive area for researches to<br /> investigate since a long time. Many techniques have been used to tackle such problems, but all of these techniques require high efforts to formulate the dynamic scheduling problems inorder to obtain optimal solution. Using Heuristic or dispatching rules to solve the dynamic scheduling problem is efficient and popular manner to reach an acceptable level of scheduling. In this paper hybrid techniques<br /> are used in the proposed developed model. First the switching of four dispatching rules (Earliest Due Date (EDD), Slack Time (SLACK), Slack / Remaining Operations (S/ROP) and Priority Index) with the aim of choosing minimum tardy jobs. Second, scheduling-rescheduling approach is used to tackle the dynamic environment of job-shop problem depending on three level algorithms. Third, proposing three level algorithms, these levels are resource level, process planning level to improve scheduling with the aim of minimizing tardy jobs and shorten<br /> "order-to-delivery", and job level to design rescheduling policy depending on identified factors of each job order. The developed model is applied to real data from the Heavy Engineering Equipment State Company/Baghdad, and considerable advantages are observed. Applying the proposed model lead to zero number of tardy jobs (NT) and zero mean tardiness (MT). It is obvious from the obtained results that by adopting such model, a better solution for job orders' due dates can be achieved; hence "order-to-delivery" time can be shortenedhttps://etj.uotechnology.edu.iq/article_42168_319da7b636f30d1781c5841ebb5559a7.pdfUniversity of Technology-IraqEngineering and Technology Journal1681-690030720120401Development of Job Scheduling and Machine Loading System in FMS117411864217110.30684/etj.30.7.6ENZaid Hikmat YaqoubAmjad Barzan AbdulghafourJournal Article20120401Manufacturing industries are rapidly changing from production of scale to production of scope characterized by short product life cycles and increased product varieties. This implies a need to improve the efficiency of job shops while still maintaining their flexibility. These objectives are achieved by Flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). The basic aim of FMS is to bring together the productivity of flow lines and the flexibility of job shops, this duality of objectives makes the management of FMS complex. In this research, the loading problem in FMS, which is viewed as selecting a subset of jobs from<br /> the job pool and allocating them among available machines, is considered. The research investigates the number of machine loading approaches, which aim to meet the delivery dates of production orders, and at the same time reduce the manufacturing cost.https://etj.uotechnology.edu.iq/article_42171_4ed75ada00b66aa3dafe996e396a7f50.pdfUniversity of Technology-IraqEngineering and Technology Journal1681-690030720120401Predicting the Strength of Fiber Reinforced High Performance Concrete Based on Push-Off Tests118712024217510.30684/etj.30.7.7ENMaha M.S. RidhaNagham T. HamadKaiss F. SarsamJournal Article20120401This paper reports the results of an investigation into the strength of fiber reinforced high-performance concrete (FRHPC)based on push-off tests. Both experimental and analytical studies were performed. In the experimental study, eight FRHPC push-off specimens were tested. Two types of fibers, straight and hooked-end, in conjunction with percentage of volume fraction of steel fibers,0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0% were used. In the analytical study, a new proposed expression was derived based on experimental data in this research and available data from the literature. These include high strength concrete (HSC) with<br /> compressive strength of 40 < f'c < 107 MPa. The investigated variables were, fibers factor (F), area of reinforcement perpendicular to shear plane (ρvfy), and concrete compressive strength (f'c). The proposed expression gave good prediction for the direct shear strength of the tested specimens-the proposed expression predicted the direct shear stress resistance of tested/calculated values with a coefficient of<br /> variation (COV) of 12.88 percent.https://etj.uotechnology.edu.iq/article_42175_aa3915a79405365c2991819cb6632521.pdfUniversity of Technology-IraqEngineering and Technology Journal1681-690030720120401Computation of Odd Magic Square Using a New Approach with Some Properties120312104217910.30684/etj.30.7.8ENShatha A.

FrayyehMaan S. HassanTahseen D. SaadoonJournal Article20120401In this study, the mechanical properties of five different cement based repairing materials were evaluated. These materials were classified into two groups: laboratory made materials with or without admixtures (3 types), and other two types of commercial proprietary pre-packaged with additives. Mechanical properties, such as compressive strength, modulus of rupture and drying shrinkage were studied. Results show that these mechanical properties were varying significantly from each other. The drying shrinkage of the commercial proprietary repair materials<br /> was less than that of the conventional mortar. This will lead to a reduced cracking risk in the former repair materials compared to the latter. Through the regression analysis on the experimental data collected, power relation with coefficient of determination of 0.766 is obtained between compressive and modulus of rupture.https://etj.uotechnology.edu.iq/article_42182_f3e0b8b49eb0e0f8ba32a163cd7bcfa8.pdfUniversity of Technology-IraqEngineering and Technology Journal1681-690030720120401Effect of Moment of Inertia and Aerodynamics Parameters onAerodynamic Coupling in Roll Mode122212394218310.30684/etj.30.7.10ENRaed Abbas JessamJournal Article20120401The influence of moment of inertia and aerodynamic parameters on the<br /> aerodynamic coupling in rolling mode has been analyzed for Aircraft F-94A (case study) for different rolling rate in rolling mode , the equations of motion for aircraft has been analyzed to get the required equations of motion for aerodynamic coupling.
