SQL injection attacks are still common issue in web applications. Although different techniques have been proposed to prevent SQL injection attack, it has a high impact on web applications, especially associated with large and sensitive databases. In this attack, an attacker can inject malicious code into the data entry field of the input form and bypass authentication, access, then modification and deletion of data within the database. In this paper, a lightweight algorithm is introduced based on encoding of the query named (EQA) considering HTTP traffic parameters e.g. request and response time and message length. EQA hides the SQL relationship with the database, and prevents some common types of SQL injection (Tautology, Piggybacked and Comment). EQA is implemented and tested using MySQL and PHP environment and Wireshark platform. The results demonstrate that the proposal has a good performance in terms of security level, reducing HTTP request and response time and message length.

Data similarity detection is an important for many applications such as document file management, document searching, plagiarism prevention, copyright protection. Most of the researches does not rely the preservation of privacy in detecting the similarity for documents because it is considered that the content of the document is general, which is reduced the use in certain applications that require the preservation of data when the detect the similarity, e.g., the conference submissions are treated as confidential and not revealing them to other program (in the process of similar document detection). Over the past few years, cryptologists have created protocols that preserve the privacy and protection of data while detecting similarities but it remains not secure. In this paper, we evaluate the similarity between two parties (Alice and Bob) without knowing any information about the content of their files, with maintaining efficiency and repairing the security problems of previous works. The cosine similarity is used to measure the similarity between the vectors of the document. Our proposal was applied on a real dataset through several experiments conducted to demonstrate the value and efficiency of proposed schemes in practice.

The dose rate of emitted gamma-rays from surface water taken from different locations in the Basra Governarte by using a TL- technique has been measured.The measurements were performed using lithium fluoride (liF)thermoluminescence dosimeters (TLD-200)at 32 stations ,the average dose rate measured in theBasrah environs was 3.01 µ rad/h. It is concluded that all the results obtained from this paper indicated that the inhabited area ling within the environmental monitoring stations are the areas in which the radiation is natural and that the dose rate that the human being exposed to, lie within the allowed limit.

In this work, the influence of gamma irradiation on the structural, third-order nonlinearities and optical limiting properties of Pyronine Y (C17H10ClN2O) solution has been reported. The samples have been investigated via a typical absorbance spectra, and characterized in the wavelength range 300–700 nm. The nonlinear optical coefficient (nonlinear refractive index and nonlinear absorption) showed clear changes with different irradiation time. Also, the optical limiting property of the sample has been investigated using 532 nm continuous wave (cw) laser (SDL-532-100T). At the same time, the optical limiting behavior was found to increase with increasing dose. Gamma ray irradiation was performed by using 137 Cs source with an exposure rate of 0.56 Gy/min. This study also suggests that the gamma irradiation can be considered as a tool for the enhancement of the device properties amongst the other applications.

This method is simple, efficient and eco-friendly. All imidazoles were characterized using FT-IR, Mass spectrometry, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR Nuclear magnetic resonance spectral techniques.

The Anderson-Newns model is used to study the chemisorption process for hydrogen atom on perfect graphene with tunning the adatom magnetic moment. The perfect graphene density of states is utilized to determine the (adatom/graphene) system electronic structure and the quantum coupling effects which are expressed by the broadening chemisorption function and the quantum shift. The self-consistent solutions for the hydrogen atom occupation numbers show that the physical solution is magnetic for all normal distances from the graphene sheet. Also, the metallic part of the chemisorption energy is the dominant one for all distance values, which gives the obvious description to the type of bonding formed with the graphene. The existence of the magnetization on H/graphene is insured by calculating the density of states of the imperfect graphene.

Text classification is considered an important task for arranging text data under labels or categories. Real life data varies in language, size, format, noise and area. Consequently, these data need to be classified accurately due to their sensitivity and importance. Despite there being different classifiers that could be used, any individual classifier is still affected by issues and does not produce the best result for all data. Therefore, the researchers directed to use a system combination to enhance the prediction result. In this paper, a combination system is used to avoid the variation in the classifiers’ performance, by finding the best prediction among three classifiers (Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine, and K-Nearest Neighbors) before giving the final decision, to achieve the required reliability and the efficiency. Four data collections are used in English and Arabic languages: 20-newsgroup, Reuters-21578, Watan-2004 and Khalaf-2018. The proposed system produces better results than the individual classifiers. The F1-scores for the proposed system were 95%, 93%, 94% and 92% for 20-newsgroup, Reuters-21578, Watan-2004 and Khalaf-2018, respectively

In present study numerical investigation of two kinds of fluids namely air and water flow on flat surface have been performed to investigate the boundary layer. Computational fluid dynamics has been used as a numerical technique to solve continuity equation and momentum equation. The air has been used in this study due to its wide importance in aerodynamics applications. In addition water has been used for comparison. A 1 m length flat surface has been used as a base for boundary layer fluid flow. The altitude of the computational domain which includes the free stream fluid flow was 0.1 m. The fluid velocity at the leading edge of the surface was 10 m/s for both air and water. Flow on smooth surface has been considered. Viscous fluid flow was used and hence no-slip condition has been adopted for both air and water. The Reynolds number (Re) was based upon the distance x from the leading edge as a characteristic length. The boundary layer thickness () has been calculated. In addition wall shear stress () has been studied for both air and water. Also some other parameters have been calculated such as displacement thickness (*), momentum thickness ( ) and the coefficient of drag (CD). The results showed that the Reynolds number of water is bigger than the Reynolds number of air based on the conditions of the current study. The boundary layer of air is laminar from leading edge until 0.8 m. Beyond 0.8 m up to the surface end, the boundary layer is in the transition region. Also the boundary layer of water transited to turbulent region at 0.2 m while the air boundary layer is still laminar. As expected, the momentum thickness () showed similar behavior as boundary layer thickness ().The displacement thickness of air is higher than the displacement thickness of water.The results also showed that the air drag coefficient has less value than water drag coefficient from approximately 0.2 m up to the downstream. The results showed that water flow affected the flat surface by bigger wall shear stress than air.

The present study includes a study and evaluation of the effect of a new organotellurium compound derived from N-butyl substituted tetrazole compensated namely: di (1-butyl tetrazole-5-yl) tellurium dibromide (Tz) which was prepared in a previous study as a anti-corrosion for the carbon steel alloys in the acid medium 1 M of hydrochloric acid. The work involved evaluating the inhibitor at various temperatures 303, 313 and 323 K for specific concentrations of inhibitor at 5, 10 and 30 ppm. This study was used the supplementary method of polarization curves or the so-called Supplementary Method of Polarization Curves / Tafel plots, to calculate the corrosion variables (corrosion voltage and corrosion current density (. It was observed that as anti-corrosion concentrations were increased as the efficiency of anti-corrosion will be increased. The prepared compound Tz gave a good inhibition efficiency 87% with 30 ppm at 303 K. It was also found that the activation energies are higher with the presence of inhibitor than their absence, especially with the presence of inhibitor Tz in the acid medium (1 M), due to decrease of the corrosion current, so the corrosion rate of the carbon steel alloy will decrease while the charge resistance of the charge will increase.

Casein microparticales including different amounts of sodium alginate were prepared by a solvent evaporation technique, using a (crosslinking) agent. Microparticles were characterized based on the surface morphology, size Distribution, by photomicrographs microscopy and (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Microparticles diameters ranged between (44 - 94.4) µm. The microparticles were also evaluated in-vitro release and kinetics release of Nitrofurantoin (NFT), as a model of the drug. The results displayed that the ratios of released the NFT increase as the concentration of the loaded NFT increases on the Microparticles, and the results also show that with an increase in the Casein , sodium alginate concentration, the NFT release from the Microparaticles decreases. The (R2) of determination-indicated that the release-data was within the movement of the zero order and the Higuchi equation explains that the release of the NFT is carried out according to the mechanism of diffusion. Finally , The results showed that (biological efficiency) for microparticle loaded with NFT exceed biological efficiency against two type bacterial Escherichia coli ,Staphylococcus aurous and one fungal Candida albicans

The widespread and attractive use of smart devices in recent years has made it possible to use them in many aspects of human life such as health care. Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a network made up of small sensors that collect vital signals from the human body to the personal device that could be a mobile phone used in health care systems. WBAN considers can an integrated network with mobile phone to give health services to the patients. This type of network is requiring building strong security scheme to resist various malicious attacks. In this paper, we focus to build strong and lightweight authentication scheme and depends on mobile phone to deal and follow the patients' cases. The proposed scheme resists malicious attacks such as Man-In-The-Middle (MITM), replay, and Denial of service (DoS) attacks. Our work also supports many features like mutual authentication, key management, anonymity, mobile health care. Also, the cost of the proposed scheme is an efficient in terms of computation and communication. In addition, the formal analysis using AVISPA tool proven the security of our scheme.

This study was undertaken at the breeding hall of the Department of Animal Production / College of Agriculture/ University of Basrah from 1/2/2018 to 1/7/2018, to investigate the effect of different levels of wheat germ oil (WGO) with or without Folic acid treatment on sex hormones such as Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), Luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen and progesterone on female rabbits at different physiological stages. Eight males and 56 female rabbits, with an average weight of (810,650) grams for males and females, respectively, were randomly divided into four groups (14 females + 2 males/ group) and two replicates/ group. The groups were dosed with WGO orally for a period of five months. The first group was a control group (no WGO) and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th groups were given WGO by 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 ml/ kg body weight/ day respectively. After two months of giving WGO, treatments 2, 3 and 4 were divided into two secondary groups. The first group gives the same levels of (WGO) which was given at the beginning of the experiment and the second group gives folic acid (1 mg/ kg of body weight/ animal) orally. The results showed significant (P<0.05) increase in concentrations of FSH and LH hormones in female rabbits treated with WGO at dosage 0.75ml/ day/kg of body weight at 90 and 120 days old then the concentrations of hormones exceeded in the same treatment but with folic acid during sexual puberty and pregnancy stages in comparison with control groups. There was a significant increase (P<0.05) in estrogen concentration when female treated WGO at dosage 0.75ml/ day/kg of body weight with folic acid at puberty and in the last period of pregnancy (after 30 days of pregnancy) in comparison with control groups. Progesterone concentration was significant (P<0.05) increase in female treated at dose WGO 0.25 ml/day/ kg of body weight of at 90 and 120 days of age, Whereas,when female administrated WGO with folic acid doses 0.75 caused significantly (P<0.05) increase in the concentrations of progesterone in the last period of pregnancy in comparison with control groups

We investigate the electronic band structure of SWCNTs exposed to the elastic mechanical deformation and external magnetic field along axis of the tubes. Our theoretical calculations were accomplished by using the dispersion relation of π-electrons in the tight binding approximation for armchair, zig-zag and chiral SWCNTs under the influence of the helical deformation and uniaxial tension in the case of the presence or absence of a magnetic field. The exponential expression has been used for the matrix element of the Hamiltonian operator, which is exponentially proportional to the distance between the carbon atoms in the SWCNT. The energy gap for armchair (10,10) SWCNT increases under the helical deformation with the absence of the magnetic field, consequently, the SWCNT will turn from conducting to semiconducting. In contrast, the energy gap for armchair (10,10) SWCNT is unchangeable under the influence of the uniaxial tension. Moreover, we have noticed the growth of the energy gap for armchair (10,10) SWCNT when the tube is exposed to an external magnetic field. We observed a different behavior for zig-zag (9,0) SWCNT, where the energy gap increases slightly when applying helical deformation and rapidly under the uniaxial tension without a magnetic field. Through our study of the band structure for chiral (10,9) SWCNT, we found that it is not significantly affected when applying the two patterns of mechanical deformation. The presence of the magnetic field in chiral (10,9) SWCNT causes a decrease in the energy gap and thus increases the electrical conductivity of this tube. The variations in the energy gap values can be practically used in the nanosystems based on carbon nanotubes such as CNT field-effect transistors, nanosensors and other practical applications in the field of nanoelectronics.

A home-build micro flow injection analysis (µFIA) was constructed and used for chloride ion detection in natural and freshwater samples which were collected from Shatt al-Arab river and the Basrah city- south of Iraq. Two labs- made microcontroller software programs were designed .The first program, type UNO used to control the lab- made mini peristaltic pump to propel the chemicals reagents to detector. While, the other program was Mega type which was employed as a data-logger to manipulate and recording the response as peak height corresponding the concentration by using Microsoft Excel 2010 program. The linearity, regression coefficient for seven points, detection limit and %R.S.D for ten replicates of 25 μg/ml were 5-35 μg/ml, 0.9984, 0.5 μg/ml and 0.0597 % respectively. The sample throughput was 120 samples per hour. so each one sample consumed 94.2µL of chemical reagents and 120 samples consumed 11.30ml of chemical reagents. The home build semi-automated micro-flow injection analysis (µFIA) system was applied successfully for chloride estimation with simple manifold, high sensitive and accurate.

The tacit knowledge represents the knowledge and skills that stored in the employees' minds in order to perform their working tasks. The performance of the organizations services are depending on the level of tacit knowledge of the employees. The organizations should evaluate the tacit knowledge resources to sustain the competitive advantages over other organizations in same industry. The evaluation of tacit knowledge is not simple due to intangible nature of this type of knowledge. Hence, the key performance indicator (KPI) approach is important to evaluate the tacit knowledge of the employees based on applicable indicators. This study focuses on evaluate the performance (quality and quantity) of the tacit knowledge level of the academicians in the universities. The main aim of this paper is to investigate the key performance indicators that could be applied to evaluate the tacit knowledge level of the academicians. The literature is reviewed in order to determine the most effective performance indicators that were applied to evaluate the level of tacit knowledge. The review of literature proposes 11 performance indicatorsthat are experience year, qualification level, achievements, innovated idea, publishing quantity, publishing quality, number of attended training, assessment by supervisor, and assessment using tests, number of supervised students, and number of students that the academic staff is teaches. This study provides many effective indicators that can be adopted to construct KPI model in order to evaluate the tacit knowledge level of the academicians in the universities. In the future, further indicators could be explored to enrich the evaluation performance of tacit knowledge level.
