Abstract
In this paper, the design of new real time integer to integer lifting based wavelet transform IWT architecture is focused. An efficient design method is proposed to construct an integrated programmable VLSI architecture that can operate as forward or backward IWT in pipeline fashion. The layout VLSI integrated structure is simple, modular, and cascadable for computation of wavelet transform based on 5/3 biorthogonal filters. The architecture is optimal with respect to both area and time and independent of the size of the input signal without necessitate to memory.
The lifting steps adapted to be causal and the proposed architecture is suitable to be used in the real time processing applications. The critical path of the architecture is equal to critical path of one lifting step. The numerical precision has been established using simulink model. Experimental tests have been made with 8-bit signed two's complement integer numbers. Based on the experimental result observations,
the data path width of proposed architecture is fixed at 10 bits.
Keywords: Lifting scheme, VLSI architecture, wavelet transform.

Abstract: The present research work concentrated on the analysis of stresses generated on transmitting gear tooth, also the effect of misalignment angle on stress distribution and its concentration. This study had been done on a gear model similar to accessory gear of Gas Station for electricity generation in Mansour-Mosul. Computer program using finite element technique had been developed. Gear tooth model had been analyzed using finite element method in three dimensions. The results of execution finite element program for many cases of misalignment angle showed clearly, that the stress distribution and its concentration on tooth changed with misalignment angle. According to the values of generated stresses, the tooth fracture can be predicted, this leads to the selection of more suitable materials to be used for gears. New formulas governing stresses change with change of misalignment angle, had been obtained - using regression analysis -. Also it is found that when angle of misalignment being generated by 0.1 degree, this leads to increase of 154 % in maximum principal stress at root tension side, 163 % in maximum shear stress and 147 % in minimum principal stress at contact region.

Abstract
This paper presents the feasibility of utilizing thermal energy storage systems in reducing both the initial and running expenses of chiller systems in large mosques. The study focused on the great mosque in the city of Mosul as a model. Two load profiles are considered, the occasional and the normal profiles with three different partial storage control strategies. The conventional strategy is also considered for the purpose of comparisons. From the results, it can be concluded that, the amount of the shifted load from the on-peak period for the occasional profile is equal to 45.2%, 24%, and 39.1% for the three control cases respectively. Up to 74% reduction in the on-peak power consumption can be achieved with a total shifted power, (from the on-peak to the off-peak periods) of up to 47.2%, which will add significantly to the total cost reduction. For the normal profile, the amount of the shifted load from the on-peak period is equal to 9.8%. The peak power consumption is reduced by 33.1%, and about 10% of the consumed power is shifted to low price period.
Key words: A/C systems, refrigeration systems, thermal energy storage

An experimental investigation of the heat transfer in annular fins of constant thickness was carried out to prove the total resistance model suggested by Kahwaji [4] , given in equation (1) in the introduction . The experiments covered both the natural convection and forced convection heat transfer modes using fins of different materials and dimensions. Different Ra and Re numbers also achieved through varying the power input to the fins and the speed of the air flowing through the fin assembly. The results indicated good agreement between the suggested model and the experimental findings. Calculated and measured heat flux was found to be less than (8.33%) in the natural convection tests and (11%) in the forced convection tests. The maximum experimental error was estimated at about (6.33%). A numerical solution, based on the Gauss-siedel technique, was also derived and used to support the results.
Key words: Heat transfer, annular fin, natural and forced convection, heat

Abstract
The research focuses on the use of ordinary and burnt alum to remove the
light turbidity (10 NTU) and reduces the medium ones (75NTU) by adding of
different doses of ordinary alum Al2(SO4)3.16H2O and compare the results with
these obtained from the burned alum at varying temperatures (200, 300, 400, 500,
600) C0.
Jar test is used to find the change in the water characteristics of turbidity, pH, EC
at the conditions. The study revealed that 10mg/l of burnt alum at 200Co and more
give, final turbidity of about (2NTU), while it gives NTU between (7-8) in the
case of using ordinal alum in removing of the light turbidity of (10NTU). In the
case of reduction of the medium turbidity it find that 10mg/l of burned alum at
200Co reduces the final turbidity to about (3NTU).
It appears also that the alum consumption is about 14% in case of using burnt
alum as compared with the ordinary alum especially in reducing of the medium
turbidity to 5NTU.

ABSTRACT The monitoring of water quality produced for drinking is one of the most important study in order to evaluate the suitability of water for human consumption also to evaluate efficiencies of treatment water plants and water distribution system especially in the present situation of the country. This study focusing on the quality of drinking water used by student in some schools at Mosul city. Where 17 schools had been selected through the city. main chemical and physical analysis had been done on these samples in addition to the total bacteria count, the study revealed that the water quality of the studied schools was within the standards of drinking water. A negative result were appeared for total bacteria count in one sample, only seem to be an indication of a new case of pollution with bacteria, this might be due to the water supply network, fortunately the result were within the Iraqi standards for drinking water.

Abstract The efficiency of oxygen transfer depends on many factors including type, size and shape of diffusers and tank geometry. In this paper, the effect of the depth of water in the tank and, the extension of coverage area of diffusers on each of oxygen transfer capacity (OC), efficiency (E) and, on a percentage of oxygen absorption (δ) is tested. Experimental procedure is adopted to evaluate the effect of these parameters. The results of the study showed that, both of a depth of water and, the expand of coverage area of diffuser had a significant effect on the tested parameters. The values of oxygen transfer capacity (OC) and the efficiency (E) were ranging from (18 to 170 grO2/m3 tank. hr) and from (2 to 17 grO2/m3air) respectively, depending on the depth of water in tank and the ratio of diffusers coverage area. The value of an oxygen absorption percentage was ranging from (0.45-5.4%) depending on the circumstances of the test. Individual mathematical models to describe the effect of each parameter were also derived. The exponentional form of derived equation proved to be efficient to describe the effect of a depth of water on oxygen transfer capacity (OC) whereas; the linear form of the equation was good enough in representing the effect of the other parameters.

Aِِbstract
The yield response model is very important in irrigation planning and
management of irrigation projects. A computerized model for simulating irrigation
water requirement for wheat crop at Mosul area has been proposed for (20)years of
daily climatological data. The model predict daily actual and potential
evapotranspiration, then the relation between relative yield and relative
evapotranspiration is put into (20)equations and solved mathematically to find the
coefficients for each stage of growing growth period of wheat crop at Mosul
area.The yield response factors is found for two cases, the first is for rainfed
agriculture practice for wheat for (20)years where an available data for production is
available ,and the second is for irrigated practice where four years production data
were available[1] .Then the results are compared with the results obtained from
(Doorenbos & Al kassam 1979) equation for yield. [2] and show a small variation
while the last equation is justified by International Agriculture and Food
Organization(FAO).

Abstract
The paper discusses a method to get the hourly load data from the peak daily load (i.e. to store one value and get 24 values). The method uses one of the intelligent techniques (Artificial Neural Network ANN).
The annual load duration (ALDC) is used in different studies, such as power system planning, reliability study . . . etc. In this work the ALDC is used as an example for the application of the proposed method. When the hourly load data for a year are available, it is easy to find the ALDC. In the studies where the ALDC is needed, the load is usually forecasted (future load) where the hourly data are not available.
A proposed ANN is explained to overcome this difficulty. The method develops the daily load (24 hours) from the peak load. The required days are encountered, which means that the ALDC is obtained for the required days. Also if there is a missing period, the proposed method can develop that missing period in the data.
The data of the Iraqi North Region National Grid (INRNG) for the year 2001 is used to verify the validity of the proposed method. The results of a conventional method are also given.
Key words: ALDC, Daily load, Hourly load, ANN.

Abstract
The long-term probabilities of storage states of Bakhma reservoir system at northern part of Iraq have been investigated. The seasonal probability transition matrices have been manipulated in different orders to construct the yearly probability transition matrices where the latter were implemented to calculate the steady state probabilities. The results reveal that the final state of the system depends upon how one can manipulate the seasonal transition matrices in an appropriate order. Additionally, it was found that Bakhma reservoir workable storage is either underestimated and should be re-evaluated or the turbine capacity has to be increased to generate additional power, otherwise, significant amount of water might be lost over the spillway.
