AbbasJournal Article20150201In recent years, with the use of e-commerce sites the need for adaptive contents to help customers to find suitable online products to purchase. Despite the limited use of adaptive services, most of these sites have “complex buyer behavior” often marked by customer confusion and information overload because of neglecting customers purchasing power ability. Therefore, this paper applies psychological testing method called Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) taking into account product price, quality and customer ability (customer purchasing power). Whereas, the proposed system focuses on a new adaptivemechanism that gives the customer an opportunity to select best products from several categories on the basis of consumer perceptions (e.g. perceivedquality and perceivedprice). Experiment results show that applying CAT to E-Commerce can help and enhance buying decision process when searching for and selecting online products by providing suitable product quality and price with corresponding customer’s ability.https://etj.uotechnology.edu.iq/article_102060_88fee7aa371d6cbe7e6561d384e8872e.pdfUniversity of Technology-IraqEngineering and Technology Journal1681-6900332B20150201The Dynamics of An Eco-Epidemiological System Involving a Prey Refuge23525110206110.30684/etj.33.2B.8ENRaid K.

AbbasJournal Article20150201Meta-materials are usually metal-dielectric composites having unique electromagnetic properties. These unique electromagnetic properties of meta-materials have attracted much interest. Therefore, meta-material fabrication is developing, The fabrication method is based on the design of polymer material with holes. Where these holes are filled with metal in a micro-structure form which produce the meta-materials. Themethod for design this structure includes arrays of wires, which allow the permittivity to be tuned through the details of the wire diameter and spacing. Metamaterials are characterized by many parameters, one of them is its ability to control electromagnetic waves in the subwavelength, depending on the resonant unit cells.This work is done by using a simulation program to draw a metamaterials in the form of 2D array of wires as a fiber. Then simulate the effective mode index inside them. our results show that the effective mode index is increased by increasing the plasma frequency.https://etj.uotechnology.edu.iq/article_102064_d4eab0216ce7fb04d09dddc8c5327513.pdfUniversity of Technology-IraqEngineering and Technology Journal1681-6900332B20150201Existence of Some New Classes of Semilinear Unbounded Perturbed Operator Equations28029710206510.30684/etj.33.2B.13ENSameer Qasim HasanJournal Article20150201In this paper, the adopted approach of existence is based on Leray-Schauder degree theorem.

This phenomenon has been used as a result from the leakage of these substances from the oil trap on the earth's surface through faults and cracks in the earth's crust over the oil trap, that affects the emission of heat and temperature in the area above the oil trap. The thermal band scene (Landsat ETM+ in central Iraq-west of Baghdad) has been used to the region located between longitudes 43 o 62' 7.20" East to 44 o 61' 14.48" East and latitudes 32 o 94 '12.99" North to 34 o 0' 49.53" North. The thermal anomaly (ΔT) was estimated in relation to the change in temperature compared to the temperature anomalies in the surrounding areas. After studying several areas in central of Iraq, it is found that the thermal anomaly lies "between" (1-5) Ko which indicates the presence of Hydrocarbon in those areas.https://etj.uotechnology.edu.iq/article_102067_fe376cc25b2556e3a03c2df9c7722ddc.pdfUniversity of Technology-IraqEngineering and Technology Journal1681-6900332B20150201Preparation and Characterization of Nano Porous Silicon for Chemical Detection Applications31832510206810.30684/etj.33.2B.16ENAlwan M.

The nanoparticles are deposited onto Si wafers by direct overcasting method and also glass substrates covered with Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method. The optical properties for the colloid (nanoparticles in water) are studied with spectrophotometers. UV–vis spectral analysis showed that the solutions have an absorption edge at 3 eV and average particle size about 30 nm. In order to estimate the particle size of In2O3 in water, the colloidal solutions have been deposited on silicon wafers and imaged by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). On the other hand, the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is used to study the topographic nature of the prepared thin film. The results of the spectrophotometric analysis show that the average energy gap and the average particle size of In2O3 nano particles were about 3 eV and about 30 nm; respectively. The interference technique which used to identify the thickness of the films, deposited by electrophoretic deposition, showed that the thickness is about 90 nm. The images of SEM showed that the film, prepared by electrophoretic deposition on ITO substrates, is of porous structure.
