Educational applications of image processing have emerged due to data collection tools development. Education is vital field in human life where highly accurate performance is required. Integrating image processing and deep learning with the education will help to optimize the performance of entire system. It is possible now to make out the student’s emotional status through study the features from facial images taken for a group of students. That reduces the time and cost of the education by providing a facility similar to the regular classrooms environments. Which may help plenty of people who are unable to access regular educational facilities due to intolerable cost. In this paper, automatic emotional detection is being performed using neural network. Two models are used namely artificial neural network and CNN neural network. The models are tested using emotional images data. Results are reported 96.7 % and 99.2 % accuracies from bother artificial neural network and CNN respectively.

Several car accidents are reported everyday worldwide, and many fatalities and injuries occur that can be predicted and prevented. This paper does not focus on those accidents that get reported, but instead it focuses on the accidents that do not get reported and result in major injuries and fatalities that can be avoided by simple notification that can be sent to the right people at the right time, so that help can be sent even if the people in need of it are not capable of requesting it. The proposed system can be considered as a tool for the safety of the car passengers in addition to the already existing seat belts. The optimum speed of arrival of the help is achieved in this work by implementing GPS such that a website link that contains the exact location of the accident is sent in order to find the location of the accident instantly without having the people involved in the accident to have to report their location. This paper aims mainly to design a system that can detect one of three cases, the first one is when there is an accident and the air bags do not deploy, while the second case is when there is an accident, and the air bags are deployed, and the third case is an SOS message in case there was a need for it. Of course, there might happen a small accident that does not require the system to send a notification, so there is a switch that can be pushed in order to prevent the system from sending faulty alarms.

Coronavirus has received widespread attention from the community of researchers and medical scientists in the past year. Deploying based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) networks and models in real world to learn about and diagnose COVID-19 is a critical mission for medical personnel to help preventing the rapid spread of this virus. This article is a brief review of recent papers concerning about detection of the virus; most of the schemes used to detect and diagnose COVID-19 rely on chest X-Ray, some on sounds of breathing, and by using electrocardiogram (ECG) trace images, all these schemes based on artificial neural network for early screening of COVID-19and estimating human mobility to limit its spread. In some studies, an accuracy rate that was obtained exceeded 95%, which is an acceptable value and that can be relied upon in the diagnosis. Therefore, currently screening tests are better in terms accuracy and reliability for diagnosing patients with severe and acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, frequently the most used test is the (RT-PCR).

Concrete is the second most product in the world, this leads to Portland cement being the largest product on a global scale. The production of Portland cement process causes the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing increased pollution and exacerbating the problem of global warming. In order to contribute the reducing of greenhouse gases emission to atmosphere and to encourage the use of environmentally friendly alternatives, geopolymer-cement has been traded as an alternative to Portland cement. Geopolymer-cement is produced from industrial residues rich in silicon and aluminium. Geopolymer-cement preserving the environment in two ways, first reducing the contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and secondly benefiting from industrial waste and preserving landfills. In this paper, the fresh properties, mechanical properties and performance of geopolymer concrete were reviewed from published research by some authors. Reviewing these properties of geopolymer as an alternative to Portland cement concrete. The bottom line of this paper is that geopolymer are similar in properties or even better in some of them than Portland cement concrete, and that geopolymer represents a promising possibility and an excellent choice in the future.

According to World Health Organization recommendations, people should wash their hands regularly, with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. After that, people should avoid touching surfaces. Several hand sanitizer machines were released in markets. These devices are nothing new, but they all sharing the same problems: (1) They all are expensive and not all people were able to buy them in their houses; (2) They all use a sanitizer which is not as effective as soap and water. In this paper, an automatic and cheap hand washing system, based on soap and water, is designed and implemented using simple and low cost components. The proposed system has two parts: one should be connected to the main water faucet and another must be put nearby. This system keen on reducing any virus transmission, helping people to wash their hands properly without touching the water faucet and reduce rationalize water consumption. A microcontroller is used with some sensors and simple parts to build the system. A sensor will detect hands approaching and automatically allow liquid soap flowing. After 20 seconds, a sound will alert the person that the washing time has expired. Also another sensor will check hands approaching to the water faucet. If so, then the system will allow water flowing.

The creation of attractive peripheral cities is considered one of the most important features of change and renewal in the patterns of urbanization, which have been adopted by most States as an optimal means of alleviating the burden of the metropolitan cities and of addressing their major urban problems, such as population inflation and traffic jam, as well as their active role in promoting economic realities, advancing economic development and increasing imports. Therefore, the study emerged from the particular problem: “The lack of a clear, holistic view of the concept of the attractive city planning strategy”, Where the study assumes, “The existence of a set of key indicators extracted from leading global experiences in this field, which is considered one of the main qualification rules that makes the surrounding city attractive to the population and maximizes investment projects”. The study aims to diagnose and extract the most effective indicators in this field that enhance the efficiency of the surrounding city in a way that ensures its attractiveness and competitiveness.

The goal of hydrocarbon exploration is to find hydrocarbon accumulation in commercial quantities. When studying the proven oil reserves in Iraq (150 billion barrels) and the probable oil reserves (130 billion barrels) and a proven gas reserves (127 trillion cubic feet) and a probable gas reserves (275) trillion cubic feet, we find that such figures put on a huge task on future exploration requirements. The conversion of a large portion of the probable reserve into a proven reserve is a significant support to firstly to maximize the proven reserve and secondly to further consolidate the financial and economic situation of Iraq. The only way to do this is through a steady increase in drilling exploration wells from (2-3) wells annually at present to (10) wells annually at the very least, noting that the total geological structures are (530) structures, of which only (130) have been drilled during the last decade. Therefore, the remaining (400) structures in the light of the currentrate, Iraq needs more than (133) years to cover the required drilling .If the number of drilled wells is increased annually to (10) wells, the period will decrease to (40) years which seems a relatively reasonable period for significant strengthening of Iraqi hydrocarbon proven reserves before the possibility of finding alternatives to this energy in the future .This study focuses on selecting the preferred structures to be drilled depending on the different geological parameters such as minimum rate of risk, dimensions of structures, probable oil API and their total reserves. The study highlights some of the preferred structures for the location of exploratory wells by determining the different possible geological periods with high oil potential. according to tectonic division adapted by the Exploration Oil Company The study also suggests a few structures that are expected to be future giant reservoirs either by deeper drilling of the existing oil fields, taking into account the results of the latest exploration drilling in neighboring countries or in the deeper reservoirs of the inverted structures, besides revaluating some Iraq Oil Company (IPC) wells which suffer from the problem of old methods.

The ultimate objective of Explorationests and managerial head posts is to make the right decision of exploration and development plans under Technical (Engineering) , Economic and Geopolitical major environments.This decision must respond positively to the target of exaggerating the national reserve necessities and to replace that depleted or about depleted reservoirs or fields with the best efficiency. Thus, The task of a decision maker is in the beginning to evaluate the situation of the problem he has, where certainly falls in one or more of four cases: 1) Certain deterministic consequences 2)Risky of probabilistic consequences 3)Uncertainty of unknown consequence and 4)Conflict of consequences influenced by opponents. Explorationests or manager deeply has to deal with enormous numbers of unknown variables or parameters as more complex situations by more components of risk and uncertainties, particularly the 2nd and the 3rd categories. In both cases Explorationests must develop a criterion like reserve, profits as related to his objective, then applying either a simulation method or analytical approach to reduce the level of probabilities. The probability can be defined by what is called the Expected Value concept, which for Net Present value becomes (ENPV) , which in turn could be either: An event , where a product to be obtained by multiplying the occurrence(frequency)as an outcome by the condition worth value , or : As Decision Alternative , where the probability outcome that could occur, if the decision alternative is occurred . This definition hence, is the most important tool in decision making, while the most popular simulation technique to reduce probability level is what defined as Monte Carlos simulation. It tried to apply it in this work for the western flank of the Mesopotamia, where many exploratory targets of unknown variables assumed to deal with the concept of expected value EV as: a) joint, mutual exclusives probabilistic formula P(total)=P(Tech)*P(Eco)*P(Geopol), and, or: As similar case, but as a decision making alternatives, P(total)=Sum{P(Tech)+P(Eco)+P(Geopol)}.Results of this preliminary study are promising targets, but risky to some extent, thus it seems better to explore this major target, but not to develop it, at least now.

Sasan field is in Nineveh governorate, 46 Km northwest Mosul city. The present Sasan structure was discovered from surface mapping and 2D seismic defined the Upper Cretaceous reservoir but due to poor data quality, any estimate of oil in places are highly uncertain. Sasan structure from seismic shows Block-Faulted anticline covering a small area (Sasan East). Several normal faults appear to separate SA-2 from SA-1 affected the hydrocarbon system in these two wells. The more possible realistic interpretation is an inverted graben, thick Shiranish Formation in Sasan wells support this interpretation.The model suggest that normal faults created the accommodation during Late Cretaceous (Sinjar trough) and subsequent Tertiary compression uplifted the depocenter creating the topographic depression which interpretated as a fault propagation fold. The last compressional structures can only have been filled with remigrated petroleum from breached, older traps, earlier structures could have been filled by migration from an actively generating source rocks. The exploration potential in the old Sasan structure configuration is good but it is still an exploration play not a commercial oil discovery, although oil is present in Shiranish, Hartha/Mushora and Wajnah formations but not clear if it is recoverable.Gas present in deeper formations, both the oil and gas traps are breaching traps. The best exploration targets should, therefore, be old structures, produced by Late shoulders of Sinjar basin contain many such leads as the prospective leads nominated A, B, C and D.Second best are old structures which have been partially restructured and whose closure has been modified, but not breached. The prospective reservoirs will be at Late Cretaceous, Early Cretaceous and Late Triassic.
