The localization for indoor environments is faced by problems related to high error rates. To address this problem, a hyperbolic method is chosen which is a suitable for such environments. Also, such methods give a significant error when depending on RSS values, which suffer from unstable reading. To overcome this phenomenon, a proposed method is presented in this research to choose a suitable value of RSS. The idea is to install 4TXs in the chosen case study building and select the best two reading of 2TXs lying on the same side of the square case study building among four values of RSS measured from the 4TXs. The results show that, a significant reduction of error is achieved using the proposed method as the range of achieved error is between (0.1091, 0.0061) to (1.7162, 1.6593). While, the such range are from (0.0114, 0.0472) to (1.2685, 2.3207) by using 2TXs. Finally, a validation of achieved error is applied for the results of proposed method applied by real measurements. The results of such validation show that a close measurement to the simulation result is achieved.

This paper suggests a compact linear and circular polarization MIMO antenna for sub-6 GHz 5G smartphones. The proposed design can be divided into three parts: Firstly, a linear polarized dipole antenna is presented with dimensions of 1×33.7×32.5mm3 and exhibits an impedance bandwidth (IBW) of 3.24GHz ranging from 3.3GHz to 6.6GHz at S11˂-10dB. The second part includes a circular polarization CPW-Fed antenna with dimensions of 1×23.2×30mm3. The IBW of the CPW antenna is more than 4GHz, starting from 3.9GHz to more than 8GHz at an S11˂-10dB. The 3-dB axial ratio for the CP CPW antenna ranges from 4GHz to 7.38GHz. Finally, a combination of LP and CP antennas is presented to form a dual polarization MIMO system. A MIMO system consists of 5 elements; 4 elements are LP and 1 element is a CP antenna. The size of the MIMO system is 1×82.5×150mm3 printed on an FR-4 substrate. Two impedance bandwidths are found due to the use of two antenna types. The first one (S11, S22, S44, S55) equals 3.44GHz while the second (S33) equals 4.33GHz. HFSS is used for designing and simulating the proposed structures, while CST is used for verifying the results.

Since the demand for data transfer and storage is always increasing, sending data in its original form will take a long time to send and receive. Compression is an important issue for digital communications systems because it imposes an important rule while reducing complexity and power requirements. The goal of compression is to reduce the file size without compromising the quality of the information, which leads to more capacity saving and reduces the required bandwidth in terms of the communications system. This paper proposes a system that consists of a hybrid of two lossless techniques, including a concatenation of Huffman and LZ4 in order to enhance the traditional techniques. The result of the proposed system demonstrates that the proposed combination techniques reduce the file size significantly, achieving between 73.649 % and 79.708 % in terms of average saving ratio (SR). The above would give us credible, cost-effective, and affordable lossless encoding systems for electronic communication systems.

This study is conducted to assess the water quality index (WQI) of the Diyala and Tigris River confluence region south of Baghdad (Al-Tuwaitha), based on the Weighted Arithmetic method. Sixteen samples of water were collected from different location in the region through two periods 5/11/2021 and 13/3/2022. Water quality parameters such as (PH, EC, TDS, TH, Ca, Mg, Cl, Turbidity, ALK, SO4, HCO3, Na, and K) were used to evaluate WQI in the study area. The final results showed that the water was not suitable for drinking due to the high concentration of water quality parameters. In the 5 November 2021, the water quality in the study area was classified into (good, poor, very poor, and polluted) where the percentages of the above classes were 4%, 6%, 39%, and 51% respectively, while the percentages for the season 13thMarch 2022 were 1%, 41%, and 58% with very poor, polluted, and very polluted class, respectively. The water was not suitable for drinking due to the high concentration of water quality parameters in most locations in the study area. There are many sources of pollution in the region that dump their harmful waste into the river, which led to increase the concentrations of water quality parameters in most locations of study area.

Urine color analysis is one of the most helpful indicators of health status, and any changes in urine color might be a symptom of serious disease, dehydration of the body, or caused by drugs. To get better assistance for urine color detection in the proposed system, a urine color automatic identification has been developed based on computer vision. The proposed system uses a web camera to capture an image in real-time, analyze it, and then classify the color of urine by using the random forest (RF) algorithm and show the result via the Graphical User Interface (GUI). In addition, the proposed system can send the results to the mobile phone of the patient or care provider by using an Arduino microcontroller and GSM module. Moreover, sending a voice message about the color of urine is related to pathological conditions. The results showed that the proposed system has high accuracy (approximately about 97%) in detecting urine color under different light conditions, with low cost, short time, and easy implementation. In the comparison with the current methods the proposed system has maximum accuracy and minimum error rate. This methodology can pave the way for an additional case study in medical applications, particularly in diagnosis, and patient health monitoring.

Facial palsy (FP) is a disorder that affects the seventh facial nerve, which makes the patient unable to control facial movements and expressions with other vital activities. It affects one side of the face, and it is usually diagnosed by the asymmetry of the two sides of the face through visual inspection by a doctor. However, the visual inspection is human-based, which is prone to errors because the doctor is exposed to omission due to fatigue and work stress. Therefore, it is important to develop a new method for detecting FP through artificial intelligence and use a more accurate computerized system to reduce the effort and cost of patients and increase the accuracy of diagnosis. This work aims to establish a safe, useful and high-accuracy diagnostic system for FP that can be used by the patient and proposes to detect FP using a digital camera and deep learning techniques automatically. The system could be used by the patient himself at home without needing to visit the hospital. The proposed system trained 570 images, including 200 images of FP palsy. The proposed FP system achieved an accuracy of 98%. This confirms the effectiveness of the proposed system and makes it an efficient medical examination tool for detecting FP.

The current study examined how the annealing process affected the formability, mechanical and chemical characteristics of 7075 alloy. The formability was achieved during the bending test. Tensile, hardness, microstructure and corrosion tests represent mechanical and chemical properties. The test specimens for each test were prepared then followed by annealing heat treatment by heating them to 200 and 300°C in an electrical furnace for two hours. Then, the specimens were allowed to cool in the furnace to a room temperature. The results indicate that the tensile strength and hardness were decreased for about 50%. Bending strength was increased by approximately 30%, where the specimens bent at a very high angle without cracking or breaking in comparison to base metal. Annealing heat treatment with a proper selected procedures and temperatures was able to stabilize the microstructure and release the second phase precipitate particles. Annealing process contributed in improving formability, ductility and corrosion resistance of the Al 7075 alloy.

At the beginning of their lives, newborns may have a widespread condition known as Jaundice or Hyperbilirubinemia. High levels of bilirubin in the blood are the primary cause of jaundice. Severe cases of jaundice may cause acute bilirubin encephalopathy due to the toxicity of bilirubin to the cells of the brain, which may lead to kernicterus. Kernicterus causes several symptoms, including a permanent upward look, loss of hearing, and repetitive and uncontrolled movements. Therefore, diagnosing this condition at the appropriate time helps to prevent chronic effects. In this study, jaundice or hyperbilirubinemia is diagnosed using a computer vision system based on a random forest algorithm. The system comprises a digital HD camera, a computer device with a Matlab application installed to analyze and detect the skin color changes of the infant, and an Arduino Uno microcontroller to control an LED ultraviolet light. A set of neonate images were collected to train the random forest algorithm, including 374 for normal and 137 for jaundiced infants. |The experimental results using the random forest algorithm for classification reached an accuracy of 98.4375%. The results of this study are promising and open doors for new monitoring applications in various medical diseases detection with a high degree of accuracy.
