This investigation includes the behavior and shear strength characteristics of
reactive powder concrete (RPC) deep beams subjected to concentrated loads.
Seven reinforced deep beams made with RPC were cast and tested. The test
variables included the shear span to effective depth ratio, and percentage of silica
fume in the concrete. The effect of these parameters on the behavior of the test
beams included deflection, concrete strains, failure mode, and ultimate loads were
investigated.
The experimental results are compared with analytical results using the strut
and tie model of ACI 318M-11 Code and found both results to be, in general, in
good agreemsnt.

Knowledge constitutes an essential element of active administration in that it
represents a source of creativity and of improving productivity through relying on
systems and models centering on information technology .This is designed to
achieve extensive benefits from technological progress and ,later, to employ them in
the processes of manufacturing and production ,a thing that demands reconsidering
the institutional structure of the establishment {"units of institutional works".} The
organic and interactive relation between knowledge and the way it is administered
has to be recognized . This Kind of administrative system occupies the first rank
among the requirements that reflect constant awareness of scientific and
technological progress.
This progress secures, in its turn ,the ability of the establishment to improve its
performance and to promote its revenues . Accordingly , the opportunity for
benefiting from the available capabilities has to be utilized . This attempt requires a
kind of information technology and knowledge administration that facilitates taking
appropriate decisions. The ultimate aim is to achieve competitive distinction and to
allow the process of production to prosper, on bath national and international levels.

Human beings discovered long time ago some anesthetic plants and used their
fibers and extracts in the medical prescriptions and religious rites, opium has been
extracted from poppy from which Morphine and Heroine has been prepared in the
19 century.
At the beginning of 20 century, there were no legal principles nor international
censorship on the circulation of these anesthetics, the government depended on
the national procedures according to the situation in each country and its population
rate and technical potential, up to the time when many countries realized the risk
that threatens their people because of agriculture and the production and circulation
of anesthetics. The international community has approved in the first conference in
Shanghai in 1959 the restriction on producing anesthetics to be produced only for
scientific and medical needs, the misuse of anesthetics or the risk of their trade was
widespread in the last two decades. Looking at what is the criminal risk and
activating the legislation and the judiciary to combat them, we should discuss the
risk of the anesthetics on the social interests instead of the criminal protection and
show the reflections of the risk on the general principles of the law and the
consequences of that on the law of combating drugs.
In the first topics, we discussed the specific nature of anesthetics, in its
material, scientific and financial characteristics and also in the corruption as a result
of the misuse of anesthetics inside family, school and work.
The second topic dealt with the reflection of the risk of anesthetics on general
principles or the criminal law, we divided it into the reflection the legal principle and
reflections whose risk is on the principle of criminal responsibility including the
proposed responsibility.

This work is devoted to studying the mechanical properties of reactive powder
concrete(RPC) and modified reactive powder concrete (MRPC) as a material as well
as studying the punching shear behavior of RPC and MRPC slabs. The experimental
program includes investigating the effect of steel fiber volumetric ratio (Vf) and
absence of coarse aggregates on some important mechanical properties of RPC
and MRPC such as compressive strength, uniaxial stress-strain relationship in
compression, splitting tensile strength and modulus of rupture. Additional
experimental tests are also conducted to study the effect of Vf, steel reinforcement
ratio (ρ) and slab thickness on the punching shear behavior (in terms of loaddeflection
response, load-strain response and ultimate failure load) of simply
supported reinforced RPC slabs having dimensions of 1000×1000× 50 or 70 mm
under concentrated load at the center of the slab.

The drug of all kinds have damaged social, economic and moral, mental and
disruption of manpower in the country, bringing traffic and smuggled weapon resort
discount to destroy human capabilities and the social and economic sectors
important people, so that the face of those dangerous scourge necessity dictated by
the duty to maintain the values and energies people looking forward to construction
and development, development and maintain the capacity and vitality of his youth,
and they are a pillar of this building.
And began combating the world drug policy national criminal founded on criminal law
and its tool, police and customs and border guards, and the first released in Iraq is
the law preventing cultivation hemp hashish Indian opium poppy No. (12) 1933, and
the Dangerous Drugs Act and narcotic (44) 1938, and its amendments and the
remaining systems The data and instructions issued pursuant thereto until a window
replaced. And those laws were canceled and replaced by Iraqi Drug Law No. (68)
1965.

This paper presents a comparison between the use of silica fume and wood ash
for High Performance Mortar (HPM). The different percentages used for each of the
silica fume and wood ash are: 6, 8, 10, 12 and 16%. The experimental tests
included density, compressive strength and flexural strength. The results illustrate
that the use of silica fume increases the density, whereas the wood ash decreases
the density of HPM. Besides, the inclusion of Silica fume (10 % as a partial
replacement of cement) and wood ash at the same level of replacement gives the
best properties of the HPM. In other words, the compressive strength and flexural
strength have been enhanced by the inclusion of silica fume and wood ash.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of two of oil products
(kerosene and fuel oil which is locally called black oil) on compressive strength of
reactive powder concrete. RPC was prepared using cement, silica fume, fine sand,
steel fibers and superplasticizer to cast and test 63 specimens of cubes with various
steel fibers ratios of 0%, 1% and 2% at different exposure periods in oil products (0,
30, 90 and 180) days. In general the results showed that RPC has good resistance to
the effect of kerosene and fuel oil. A slight decrease in compressive strength
occurred as the time of exposure to the oil products increase. The RPC specimens of
2% steel fibers content had the lower decrease in compressive strength as a result of
the denser microstructure. The decreasing ratio of RPC compressive strength
exposed to fuel oil (1.33%)was lower than that of kerosene (2.91%). This may be
attributed to the lower viscosity of kerosene than fuel oil.

Due to the changes in Iraq after 2003 the resulting problems in
(economic, social and security) lead up to the deterioration of production
capacities and abnormality in physical, financial , human or oil and gas
energies , so this paper diagnose what ways and mechanisms can be
pursued at the present stage to reactivate idle production capacities in
the Iraqi economy and exploiting them, commensurate with the goals of
alternative development.

The situation of taking drugs makes international problem , and it is rarely to find the
social humanity empty from their negative effects , they are considered one of
challenges that threaten security , entity of the community & human beings and their
stability , their crimes are considered of the global crimes over the states , many
researches & studies have dealt with this phenomenon of all its sides the social ,
political , economical and legal .
And I preferred to search in this subject in the legal frame of crime of taking drugs in
three researches , I specified the first to the scale of criminology , the second for
cases of the crime , the third for punishment that is adopted , and conclusion includes
the most important results , and recommendations that may participate to decrease
of this phenomenon .

This paper demonstrates the effect of glass fibers on mechanical properties of high
performance lightweight concrete which are: compressive strength, flexural strength,
workability (flow), and density. Foam agent was used to produce lightweight concrete
using different mix proportion to obtain good workability and compressive strength
with least fresh density. Superplasticizer used in some mixes about 1% by weight of
cement. Glass fibers were added in different volume fraction 0.06, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6
%for foam concrete and foam concrete with superplasticizer. The results of foamed
concrete mixes indicate that the increase of glass fibers content can produce high
performance lightweight concrete and improve the mechanical properties of such
concrete. The compressive and flexural strength increased with the increase of glass
fibers with acceptable range of workability, addition 0.6% of glass fibers increase
33.7% and 16.1% of compressive and flexural strength respectively but the flow
reduced about 38% compare without glass fibers.

More argument conversations are those that revolve around organizational
structures building, and when talking about the formulation of goals, it should firstly
talked about the strategic vision and mission, because these concepts are derived
from goals. Organization needs the efficiently means especially when an
environment is characterized by complexity and uncertainty to adapt and make
certainty and stability state within the organization.
The research studies the impact of change management on organizational Restructure
in term of recent concepts that taken by organizational consideration
literatures such as the organizational strategy, total quality management, and Reengineering
management.
Environmental change is one of the most important challenges which face
organizations today, and in order to keep the organization in intense competition, it
must develop goals according with the requirements of customer satisfaction, and
needs to build flexible structures responding to each change situation.
The pioneers of organizational literatures emphasis on fact that the searching
on the subject of goals should be associated with searching about system of values
of the organization, which include a set of beliefs, culture and organizational
philosophy, which lead all organizational member for unit direction then convert these
concepts to the rules of behaviors for working.
The research sets unique mix these recent concepts in term of relationship
study the re- structure process with goals developing process according with
continues change goals that represent the customer satisfaction.

As requirement engineering is considered to be the most important phase in software
development process because of the high cost impact of repairing requirement phase errors,
therefore web requirement engineering is known to be one of the most popular research
areas today. By observing most of the conducted researches it can be concluded that they
focus on the application of user experience from content, navigational and presentational
point of view.
UML (Unified Modeling Language) is a general purpose visual modeling
language for specifying, constructing and documenting systems, which can be used
in all major application domains and implementation platforms.
In this paper a new dimension in the UML user experience modeling will be presented
which represents the style factor or by other words the web theme. Every company, business
or corporation has its own styling factors which are essential for the success of the institute’s
mission, and therefore should be referred to as ‘requirements’. This new dimension will be
translated into a new web style diagram with all the associated relationships and constrains.
The web style diagram will enable the customer (institute requesting the web site or
application) to ensure that the resulting web site or application will meet their style identity.

Although the banking experience is youth, we can’t denied its success in country
wise or international wise which was effected on the huge amount of assets run by
this banks which reached (550) billion dollars and expected to reach in the year
2014 to reach 2 trillion dollars with growth percentage 24 – 30 %.

Safety system is a device or number of devices and tools in integral way to
guarantee the protection of the target building, car, office, etc. In this paper we
propose the design of safety system that can be controlled by the computer by using
the keyboard and the connection point between the computer and the safety system
is the parallel ports of the computer (LPT1). This system is built to save the home or
office or building (the system is developed as the size and importance of the building
) where the building saved by using the lasers and that are connected with the
sensors to guarantee that no one can enter the building without permission then the
system will record that penetration and its time and take a photo to the person who
entered and make the alarm working and calling the user or the security
administrator of the building, this system is designed in two parts the physical
part(hardware) and the programming part (software).

The history of human kind indicates that the humanity has known drugs or used them
for a quite some time; in fact it has a history that is almost equal to the history of
mankind.
Although the problem of drugs is global, the international community did not pay
attention to it but in the early twentieth century, whereas the complaints to fight this
social disease have arisen after the situations of taking them have increased, and in
spite of the high numbers of international agreements, covenants and protocols
concerning this matter, drug taking and trading is still one of the biggest problems
around the entire world in general and the Arabic countries in particular, as the latest
statistics indicates that (15%) of the world’s population are taking these drugs.
It is in our desire to shed the lights upon this dangerous disease and to reveal the
best ways to strive against it, so we deemed appropriate to display our marked
research (The extent of Iraqi laws in response of the international agreements’
requirements to strive against drugs crime) in three subjects, the first one is
specialized in defining drugs and their types while the second one is dedicated to
revealing the basis of drugs crime, however, the third one sheds the lights on the
position of the international agreements and the Iraqi legislation in the fight against
drugs crime.

The wireless body area network (WBAN) has emerged as a new technology for ehealthcare
that allows the data of a patient’s vital body parameters and movements
to be collected by small wearable or implantable sensors and communicated using
short-range wireless communication techniques. WBAN has shown great potential in
improving healthcare quality, and thus has found a wide range of applications.
However, the security and privacy protection of the data collected from a WBAN,
either while stored inside the WBAN or during their transmission outside of the
WBAN, is a major unsolved concern. Challenges are mainly coming from stringent
resource constraints of WBAN devices. The aim of this work is to achieve secure and
dependable distributed data storage in the WBAN. At the first part of the paper, we
will survey the most recent research directions in the field.Significant recent papers
are discussed and compared to each other to identify the advantages and
disadvantages of each technique. Then, our proposed strategy will be devoted based
on that survey. The proposal is mainly based on the techniques of erasure coding,
secret sharing and an algebraic signature to simultaneously achieve data
confidentiality, dependability, and dynamic integrity.

It can easily be seen that the Science of Accounting now closely adheres itself
to the economic and technological developments as well as the revolution of
information and continuous progress in business environment, scientifically investing
them to promote the professionalism of accounting, and to guarantee business
services and its planning and monitoring functions and, ultimately, to participate in
decision-making efficiently and actively. The aim is to promote the economic value
and its intellectual capital by virtue of the dependence of accounting on the criteria of
scientific principles, objectivity, reliability and validity.
Significantly, it is observable that the scientific and pragmatic frame of
accounting has kept the flow of accounting and financial information through securing
accounting systems relevant to the registering of the financial deals of economic
units. The systems are to adjust and report them for the benefit of both internal and
external sides. Book keeping, whether manual or technical or whether single entry or
single and double entry or double entry be applied, is an important component in
accounting course. The latter entry has been made obligatory as being officially
approved by the laws and instructions of States and professional organizations.
Entry system in matrix form is seen by researchers an advanced connecting
link to that preceding it, being invested by accounting sciences through employing
mathematics (matrices) and its elements and through having single entry and double
results to feed computer systems (Foxpro) and complete the accounting cycle. The
ultimate aim is to affirm financial deals and to find out the outcome of the work and
financial reports, things that are the objectives of this paper.

The modern communication systems consider the secure information
transmission as an important condition to judge the successful of them. Therefore,
the nowadays research focused on the development the cipher algorithms to
overcome the cleared drawbacks. Rivest cipher (RC4) algorithm, adopted by wired
equivalent piracy (WEP) in IEEE802.11 standard as a cryptographic algorithm, is one
of the ciphering methods that suffers from numerous weaknesses. These
weaknesses include in the algorithm design itself as well as the problem of attaching
the WEP by hackers. As a result, these weaknesses encourage the hackers to attach
the transmission information. In this paper, a modified cipher algorithm is presented,
which combines the RC4 and developed version of Hill cipher algorithms. The
objective of the proposed algorithm is to encrypt the plain textin two levels. Firstly,
this text is encrypted utilizing the well-known RC4 and secondly the resulting
ciphered text is encrypted using the modified Hill algorithm. The output text is the
results of the introduced algorithm of this paper with high security and resiliency
against the attaching actions. The proposed algorithm is simulated using C++
environment and the achieved results have been compared to the classic RC4. A
superior performance has been recorded for the proposed algorithm in comparison
with RC4.

Drug taking or trading creates several crimes in addition to being criminal acts in the
majority of countries .This has excited in human communities and international
organizations increasing interest to find ways that can lessen it if not evading it .This
paper which would deal with the subject from various angles : Legislative, social and
health-wise, covers the following topics:
1. Legislative Treatment
2. Juridical Treatment
3. Social Treatment
4. Medical Treatment

In this paper, first, the Golomb’s postulates of randomness are expanded to
construct a good mathematical base, and then expand the binary standard
randomness tests to be suitable to be applied on penta-sequences this mean the
elements of the sequence belong to Galois Field GF(5). Second we will show
usefulness of using penta-sequences in cryptography. The paper also includes some
tables describe the tests results of the penta-sequences generated from some digital
generators, like the Multiplicative Cyclic Group System (MCGS). The proposed
cryptosystem using the GF(5)-sequences will compress or minimizing the ciphertext
size comparing with the cryptosystems using GF(2)-sequences.

Arabic language is the one of many languages that uses Harakat (damma, kas-ra,
fat-ha, sukoon, tanween) or short vowel marks for the correct pronunciation that by
his turn will affect the meaning of the word. In this language each word has deferent
meaning based on the Harakat that can change the pronunciation. Harakat can be
used on a single alphabet of these languages. We can write without them but the
only the Professional people can interpret the correct meaning of the sentence. Thus
in this paper we code each one of these Harakat and then we use the sequence of
this Harakat to obtain the correct sequence of the secret message and developing
the mechanism that can select the word with the proper Harakat that’s gives proper
meaning based on huge database and provides mechanism also for high retrieval
based on the requirement of the secret message.

In the last few years, the demand for mobile communication services has
increased tremendously. However, there is no proportionate increase in the spectrum
allocated. As a result, there is an urgent need for new techniques to improve system
spectral efficiency, therefore maximizing the capacity of cellular system. SDMA
(Space Division Multiple Access) integrated with CDMA (Code Division Multiple
Access), resulting a system which combines between the robustness against Multiple
Access Interference (MAI) of the SDMA and the multiuser capability of CDMA which
is reflected on the performance of the SDMA-CDMA system. In this paper the BER
performance of asynchronous (Uplink) CDMA mobile cellular system was simulated,
taking into account Rayleigh fading channel, convolutional encoder, Viterbi decoder,
and Rake Receiver. Simulation results was agreed with theoretical results for
different, system parameters such as number of users, spreading factors, number of
multipath, Rake fingers, adjacent interfering cells, , and coding ratio. When antenna
directivity was introduced, results shows that the SDMA-CDMA system has a
significant performance improvement over that of a conventional CDMA system.

In this paper, design of coherent receiver for underwater acoustic communication
applicable for digital signal processor (DSP) is presented. This includes the use of
channel coding in the form of bit-interleaved coded modulation with iterative decoding
(BICM-ID). An architecture of single carrier receiver is suggested instead of
multicarrier modulation to be implemented for real-time applications. To investigate
the architecture, simulation results obtained by MATLAB are presented and reveal
that BICM-ID is useful to mitigate errors through AWGN channel. Additionally, we
adopt C language to investigate the receiver architecture that can be applied for realtime
applications

This paper would like to present a telling specimen of the Strangest Novels. To
name things, Farrell’s A Girl in the Head, published in 1967, exposes its own literary
devices. The twentieth century novel shows stylized pages that are made to parallel
the elaborations of a mind that revels in its own deviations.
Farrell’s A Girl in the Head is a well-crafted novel. It shows Farrell discovering
his style. His comic sense in this novel heralds what he is going to do with it in his
more mature historical novels.
The Farrellian novel echoes Tristram Shandy, an eighteenth Century novel. The
latter, the most openly self-conscious in its ‘baring’ of novelistic devices, not only
exposes the devices of fiction but also defamiliarises time.
Sterne’s is an exceedingly funny novel despite the fact that its author has been
accused of plagiarism. Victor Shklovsky , a Russian formalist declares in his famous
study Russian Formalist Criticism that “Tristrim Shandy is the most typical novel in
world Literature.”

Alexander Murray Palmer Haley (1921-1992) was born in Ithaca, New York. In his
ancestral village of Juffure, Haley listened to a tribal historian recount how Kunta
Kinte, Haley's ancestor and the protagonist of his book, was captured and sold into
slavery. When Haley finally published Roots in 1976, it caused a national sensation.
Haley always maintained that the goal of his writing, and that of his life was simply to
advance the oppressed cause of African people.
The Paper aim at discussing the ideological and cultural perspectives of
trafficking African people. It attempts to expose the actual situation of slaved people
,and their struggle to survive.
The Paper is divided into two sections and a conclusion. The first section focuses
on the definition of human trafficking. It is concerned with the emergence of African-
American literature.
Section two concerns itself with the life and works of Alex Haley. It focuses on the
issue of slavery or trafficking African people presented by Kunta and his
predecessors in Roots.
The conclusion sums up the findings of the Paper.
