Is a comprehensive quality management system a Precedency competitiveness seeking senior management valuable different economic units achieved , a weapon competitively important hire companies to attract customers and achieve excellence and leadership in the market competition , aims to increase and improve productivity , after it became clear that like the main factor in the success of many international companies , at a time when I felt the institutions that high quality does not mean high price and this has been confirmed by Japanese industries and Chinese alike They invade the European market and the American quality of production and lower prices , the philosophy developed and modern today is that the quality and continuous improvement of the product and damage zero and QCs ( quality control ) is everyone's responsibility.
Has adopted a search in part, analytical perspectives theory to describe the relationships between key variables ( cost , price and customer satisfaction ) , but the balance between the cost and the prices of products of high quality may give a positive indicator for customer satisfaction , and is cost reduction is a competitive dimension first and one of the main objectives in the system Total Quality Management (TQM) is intended to achieve the greatest possible profits from the planned while maintaining product quality. While the price in the economic systems in three important functions with the stability of the other factors , the first is the distributive function , and the second is a function of choice, The third is the guiding function of production. The search was several conclusions , including;-
1.The 89.5 % of respondents in the study population , see if the lower costs lead to a High on the product , which is reflected positively on the company and the customer satisfaction has earned this indicator 4.475 ) ) points ( out of five points ) with a standard deviation of 0.679 ) ) is supported by the T test to choose the mean, according to the null hypothesis Ho M = 3, against the alternative hypothesis H1 M> 3..
2.The balance between cost and price is a measure of the most important among other metrics in the Quality Management System , a final judgment of the performance of the production process , which seeks to customer satisfaction is what brought him paragraphs (X12 and X13) where I got to the middle of my account ( 4.050 and 4.225 ), respectively and Banhravcan criteria ( 0.932 and 0.832 ) and achieved a clear advantage because of exceeded Osathma computational center hypothesis , and that the respondents agree with the contents of these paragraphs percentage of ( 81 % and 84 % , respectively.)
Find and seal the recommendations was the most important
1.There should be an effective system of Total Quality Management and took elemental cost and price into consideration and study and understanding of customer requirements and expectations for the product through the study of market rival and environmental conditions surrounding the design of the product commensurate with the expectations of the consumer.
2.Must improve the quality of the product and the introduction of new ideas and not just the ideas of traditional expansion of its sales and profit margins in accordance with the well thought out plans and sophisticated , it is the duty of companies today to develop the quality of their products is not as demanding civilized , but also provide an opportunity for national products to compete with the alternatives of imported products offered in the market.

discriminant analysis is a statistical technique Based on a sample of individuals Taken from communities known in advance, In order to build a model that could help to assigned the group that belong to the new individual. In This Research discriminant analysis used to analysis data from Repeated measurements design, We Will Deal With The Problem of Discrimination And Classification In The Case of Two Groups Under The Assumption of Multivariate Normality For Univariate Repeated Measures Data .
Researchers who studied this problem (Roy & Khattree, 2005), where he presented a descriptive study of the two methods under different structures of the covariance matrix To reduce the number of parameters is required to build a classification rule, While researchers (Kshirsagar & Albert, 1993) studied two methods Growth curve and ANCOVA models for descriptive discriminant analysis To describe the relative importance of the occasions repeated measurements to distinguish between groups.
The importance of this research represented to find the best model to Classify a Group of Patients Who Suffer From Diabetes, For The Purpose of Studying The Effects of The Number of Correlations, Variances, and Number of Repeated Measurements on The Performance of Classification Rules For This Type of Data , Based on Monthly Measurements of Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1C) In The Blood Was Taken In Three Stages, Which Is The Beginning of The Experiment, and After Three Months, and Then Six Months for two groups of patients, the first group consists of (38) patients was Suffered from diabetes type I and the second group includes (33) patients Suffered from diabetes type II,
which has modeled by assuming the Autoregressive (AR-1) covariance structure To reduce the number of parameters is required to build a classification rule Across a Range of Conditions of Homogeneity and Heterogeneity For The Covariance Matrix. In Addition to Assuming Covariance Structures we Will Assume The Structured Mean Vectors Without Time Effect on each Individual. And Some of Computational Schemes For Maximum Likelihood Estimates of Required Population Parameters are Given.
And Through this research, concluded that when the number of parameters began to increase, Thus, the apparent error rate Begin to increasing, And this is what reduces the efficiency of classification rules for this type of data. And We recommend by using the linear discriminant function under (AR-1) Covariance Structures, When you focus on the least number of parameters to build the Classification rule

Recently Iraq experienced many environmental problems, caused by global climate changes. Therefore, it is important to monitor the real change in temperature. In order to achieve this goal, it requires a very large network of ground stations. MOD11A1 product is a tile of daily LST product (land surface temperature) at 1 km spatial resolution with a reasonable accuracy that needs to be improved. By a statistical model that relates ground truth temperature with result of LST from MODIS data it is possible to generate a correction algorithm. Lumping all daily average data of six Iraqi cities over three years a regression line that correlate، daily average truth ground temperature (TG) with daily average LST obtained from MODIS data. This correlation can be used to get a better estimation to the average daily truth temperature for any area within 1 km2 resolution in Iraq region for any given MODIS average daily LST of this area.

Four feeding treatments of common carp Broad stock were conducted involved the following:(T1:Good feed (with 23%protein) with manuring , T2:Simple feed (rice) with manuring , T3: manuring only, T4: buying the brood stocks from local market).
No Significant difference was noticed between T1 and T2 , and also betweenT3 and T4 for all the studied characteristics (response rate , egg weights / group, egg weight to body weight ratio, produced fingerlings number and permanency ratio). T1 and T2 were Significantly(p<0.05) greater thanT3 and T4 for the all studied characteristics, meanwhile the economic evaluation of the studied hatcheries, showed that the highest costs were in T1 while the lowest costs was in T3. The total income was the highest in T1 and the lowest in T3, the highest profit was achieved in T2 (38.400 million Iraqi dinar) which depends on simple feeding with rice and manuring , then T1(37.280 million Iraqi dinar) followed by T3(10.650 million Iraqi dinar) and the last T4 (6.290 million Ira dinar) .

Callosobruchus maculates F. is one of the most serious insects, that causing huge damages to several chick – peas seeds in many area in the world.

Five locations for soil pedons were chosen, within the coordinates (42º13'49ʺand 45º55'59.0ʺ)east of longitude and the coordinates (32º15'60ʺand 34º48'17.51ʺ)north of latitude from the middle of Iraq, having the case of variation in the topographic and geologic formation affecting the genetic and formative condition in the region .Soil pedons were exposed and described according the survey manual used in Iraq . Soil samples were taken from all soil horizons for chemical ,physical and mineral analysis.
Results indicated that the studied soils showed variation in the formative condition, viz; in the type and thickness of horizons and their arrangement because of locational factors for each Pedons as well as the impact of dry environmental conditions. All soils involved in this study did not show a certain pattern of distribution of soil fraction with the depth in all soil pedons reflecting the weakness of pedoginic process responsible for the composition as a result of the impact of the sedimentary condition for parent material and the prevailing drought conditions. The reason of prevailing coarse texture in soils to the nature of the parent material originally, as well as the content of gypsum and limestone that present with the sizes of different sands The results indicates that the original source, which derived from it minerals components formative for the study soils is mainly metamorphic rocks and low degrees of turning and high degrees of transformation and igneous rocks (acidic and alkaline) and sedimentary rocks re-deposited. It also indicates that there is a similarity in the nature of the mineralogical composition of the soils, involved in the current study, in terms of proportions of distribution of light and heavy minerals and variations. The results showed the prevalence of effect of the parent material on the rest of the soil formative factors in determining the mineralogical composition of most soils that reflect the nature of the geological formations and the physiographical locations .It was also found that there was a difference in weathering index values of light and heavy minerals resistant to weathering to the easy weathering between the same horizon. The results indicated high rates of weathering index values for heavy minerals in soils which represents the desert regions of the oldest geological ages. Weathering index values were found to be high for light minerals in soils that represent the sedimentary regions of modern geological ages because of their effect in the value of feldspar mineral caused by the fluctuation of the ground water level .

It was found that 20wt.% of lead acetate (CH3COO)2Pb is the minimum percent mixed with PVA improves the gamma ray shielding properties best than standard ordinary concrete (NIST).

As digital data is transferred and exchanged through the internet, numerous threats are imposed. Many hackers try to infiltrate transferred data unless security is considered during transmission. The process of video steganography is an engineering term which implies implanting video sequence in a cover sequence. The paper proposes a new technique of embedding video sequence data called "secret video" in cover video data. The technique provides a robust method to conceal secret information in cover video using signal transform. A discrete cosine transform (DCT) is applied on each secret video frame to localize the energy of the frame and scan the frame in the transform domain to recognize similar patterns. After converting the patterns to binary bits using fixed block codes, the blocks are embedded in the cover frame using dynamic least significant bit algorithm. This technique has provided a robust and secure embedding technique without apprising the hacker of a certain video data embedded. Many performance parameters are employed to measure the quality of stego video and reconstructed secret video.

Electrical devices, which mostly used at houses, industrial, commercial purposes and other applications,require amendment for itspower to some standard forms. Typically, rectification would be necessaryfor a proper operation and for a high performance.The electrical devices are representedas non-linear loads therefore, it isproducing a non-sinusoidal current, and as a result, they are working with a poor power factor.
In this research paper,an active power factor correction circuit designed by using Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) "Buck Converter"type, to improve the power factor. The input parameters are 220V, 50Hz. Moreover, the Average Current Mode Control (ACMC) method has been implemented to observe the effect of the corrected active power factor on the circuit. Theresearch starts with the study of the power factor anddesigning the proposed system.The software P-SIM (6.1)will be used in designing the circuit and viewing the waveforms. The main advantage of use P-SIM software is providing a powerful simulation environment for power electronics and power conversion systems. Finally, the simulation results in the current research are compared with the adopted research results.

A large collection of different systems need to reliable and accurate tracking of persons in sequence of video to use in a variety of applications such understanding of human actions and interactions, the interaction between human and computer, monitoring and security, augmented reality, editing of video, control to traffic, the communication by video and medical imaging. but the old techniques are inadequate for such tracking; instead a young technology will be used it is biometrics technology. The goal of this search is to Proposed a biometrics video tracking system use multiple biometrics technology to reliable and accurate tracking for persons in sequence of video and will proposed new biometric for tracking person is skeleton. Also this search explains most related concepts to this goal. and introduces general view of use biometrics to persons tracking. where A person is one of objects of interest in video, but tracking persons is a critical task because actions by humans in real-world settings involve large changes in the person's pose and the relative orientation with respect to the camera and different appearances. Biometrics techniques in this concern will be discussed. it involves persons recognition automatically depend on their behavioral and biological traits. Biometrics like face recognition and gait can be used to detect and tracking human in a video sequence. where this process involves continual estimate of person(s) location by using a camera. This process called video tracking The heart of video tracking is video tracker which estimates the location of the object over time. As known, objects of interest in a video sequence may be persons or other objects. In order to recognize person’s anatomical and behavioral traits for persons are used which make the video tracker recognize persons in more trust. but despite current development, and increase the progress in the future no system to now can strongly deal with the complexities of human pose and motion and human biometrics in an entirely general setting.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic effects of aqueous extract of Iraqi propolis (AEIP) in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced in Wister rats by single intraperitoneal administration of alloxan monohydrate (150 mg/kg). Animals were divided into five groups (n=6) in each receiving different treatments. Graded doses (150mg/kg and 300 mg/kg) of AEIP were studied in alloxan-induced diabetic rats for a period of 28th days. Glibenclamide (600 μg/kg) was used as a reference drug. For histomorphological study of pancreas , the animals were killed after 28 days , routine haematoxylin and eosin stain. In alloxan-induced diabetic rats, the daily oral treatment with AEIP significantly recover the weight (p>0.01) with respect to the control group, also a significant reduction in blood glucose. Besides, administration of AEIP for 28th days significantly(p>0.01) decreased serum contents of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein LDL and very low density lipoprotein VLDL whereas HDL-cholesterol was effectively increased. The histopathological studies also indicated that AEIP is effective in regeneration of insulin secreting β-cells. Studies clearly demonstrated that AEIP possesses hypoglycemic and antihyperlipidemic effects mediated through the restoration of the functions of pancreatic tissues and insulinotropic effect.
