La reconnaissance des caractères fait l'objet de diverses applications de traitement d'images. En pratique, pour assurer la reconnaissance d¿un caractère, ce dernier est sujet d¿une étape de prétraitement, ensuite il est décrit par des primitives bien spécifiques, et finalement reconnu suite à la mise en correspondance de son descripteur avec ceux d¿une base prédéfinie. L¿extraction des primitives pertinentes et discriminantes se montre souvent la phase la plus complexe et critique lors de la conception d¿un système de reconnaissance car un mauvais choix des primitives influence négativement et nettement sur les résultats de la classification. A cet effet, nous nous sommes intéressés essentiellement à la proposition de deux nouveaux systèmes de reconnaissance basés sur les approches statistiques, structurelles et évolutionnistes (algorithme génétique et stratégie d¿évolution).

This project research aims to investigate through modelling and simulation the components which will allow the Baglan Hydrogen Centre to operate as a stand-alone system by combining both the solar PV array system which already exists with a wind turbine as a hybrid system to improve the reliability of the Baglan Hydrogen Centre for stand-alone operation. Where the most important objectives were determining the existing and maximum capacity that can be achieved from the site PV panels and determine the optimum sizing for electrolyser, fuel cell and hydrogen storage, by using data gathered.

Dans l¿industrie aéronautique et aérospatiale, le renforcement et la réparation des structures métalliques à l¿aide d¿un patch collé à base de matériau composite sont très reconnus comme techniques efficaces et rentables. De nombreux travaux se font actuellement pour améliorer la technique de la réparation des fissures par collage des patchs en composite. Ce travail va dans ce sens, il a pour objectif de déterminer par simulation numérique les performances de la nouvelle technique originalement proposée et développée au sein de Laboratoire Mécanique Physiques des Matériaux, c¿est la technique du double adhésif. L¿idée consiste à diviser la couche adhésive du simple patch en deux bandes avec différentes propriétés. La première bande est appliquée sur la région fissurée pour assurer le transfert des contraintes, la deuxième bande est employée au delà de cette région pour éviter l¿arrachement du patch.

As a comparative study, the research deals with two different types of economic news items the first items are written by native experts and the second are translated by non-native, non specialized journalists. The research in hand should focus on weak points in translating economic news items by non-specialized personnel. Hence, we can deal with three major features: Size: Reuters, which has its own coverage of economic news, produces in general long, detailed and elaborate news items, while TAP provides short and concise business news. Interest: Reuters as a global news agency is a key provider of international financial market data, while TAP is rather domestically oriented to cover economic news. Linguistic skills: linguistically speaking, it is unfair to compare non-native and native journalists. The comparison here is about craftsmanship; Reuters economic news items are produced by specialized economists (experts) while those provided by TAP are translated by non experts in the business field.

A travers notre étude, nous essayerons de jeter la lumière sur « Le thème de la guerre à travers le temps et l'espace dans L'Acacia de Claude Simon ». Notre tâche consistera à répondre à ces questions : Qu'est-ce que la guerre ? Pourquoi Claude Simon a-t-il accorde, dès ses premières oeuvres, une place aussi centrale au thème de la guerre ? Comment les deux guerres ont-elles été vues par Claude Simon ? Quel est l'impact des deux guerres mondiales selon notre lecture de L'Acacia ? Que signifie-t-il L'Acacia ? Qu'est-ce que cet acacia indique ou symbolise ? Nous allons recourir à l'approche psychocritique, thématique, comparative, paratextuelle, narratologique, bachelardienne et descriptive.

In recent years, organizations and various companies have started to join the knowledge process and new concepts such as knowledge work, work knowledge, knowledge management, and knowledge organizations, representative the intensification of this trend. "A considerable amount of knowledge management is common sense, but it's not common." To achieve the potential benefits of knowledge management, a systematic approach is required. The essentialities of this approach are explained in the following. Knowing that what you know (and what don't know). ¿ It is often supposed that this essential knowledge has been well understood, but for review and investigating about hypotheses, carrying out knowledge consideration is usually a good point for authenticating of the resources and knowledge usage. This should: Specifies the key areas of knowledge that require effective management, and evaluates the quality of information; ¿ Specifies the gaps in preparation of knowledge and discovers the repetitions; ¿ Specify the holders of key knowledge and reveal the vulnerable areas; ¿ Refers carefully to barriers at knowledge flows across the organization;

Also, histopathological changes in pancreas, liver, and kidney were studied.

In this work, we have studied some geometric properties of some linear spaces; n-normed spaces, generalized 2-inner product spaces and b-Hilbert spaces, where we have proved some basic properties. As well as, we have given some new concept of b-congruence classes in generalized 2-inner product space. In addition, we have introduced definitions of ~self-adjoint operators and ~ positive operators in b-Hilbert space. Moreover, we have showed some of their properties and the relation between them. Finally this research shows that there is a lot of works in this area, especially the studied kinds of operators.

The study of nanofluid has become increasingly last few years. This is mainly due to its many applications in engineering and industry. It plays an imperative role in increasing the heat transport rate than that of base fluid, base fluids say ethylene glycol, ethanol, kerosene oil and water. In this steady, as well as unsteady boundary layer flow of a non-Newtonian nanofluid past a stretched sheet have been investigated. The constitutive equation of an Eyring Powell fluid usually generates higher order derivative term in the momentum equation then equation of Newtonian fluid. The boundary layer governing equations of the firstly transform into non-similar boundary layer equations which are then tackled through numerically using shooting method. Numerically outcomes are presented through graphs and tables for velocity, temperature, and concentration of nanoparticles profiles as well as heat and mass transfer characteristics, namely local skin friction, Nusselt number, local Sherwood number for physical parameters involving in the problems. In this thesis, it is investigated that velocity profile shows a rising behavior due to the stretched parameter.

Atlas, Anatomy of Small Ruminants is prepared to be simple and sufficient for the needs of the veterinary students. The diagrams and illustrations, which profess considerable accuracy of detail, are drawn from carefully dissected specimens and treated by computer programs for application of nomenclature of the different structures. This book presents the important features of regional and topographical anatomy of small ruminants in a series of diagrams of detailed dissections. These structures are identified and labelled on the drawings. The nomenclature is based on that of the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (2017) with the Latin terminology used for muscles, arteries, veins, lymphatics and nerves, but the English terms used for the most other structures. The atlas is also provided with tables summarized the muscles, arteries and nerves of different regions and structures of the body.

It also aimed to investigate whether Meknasi Speakers (MSs) and Er-Rissani Speakers (RSs) have different insights towards their language spoken and pronunciation.

Enzymes production is a growing field of biotechnology. Cellulase enzymes are one among of the hydrolytic enzymes capable of hydrolyzing the most abundant organic polymer i.e. "cellulosic material" to produce the smaller sugar components i.e. "glucose, cellobiose and oligomers. The soil fungi have been the best effective microorganisms for cellulase production under solid state fermentation (SSF) technology. Crude cellulase is a group of enzyme consisting of three different of enzymes: endo-1, 4- ¿-D glucanase , exo-1,4- ¿-D glucanase)and ¿- glucosidase. This study involves isolation, identification of some soil fungi and production of crude cellulose enzymes from them by using wheat bran as substrate under solid state fermentation (SSF). The enzyme activity for the different isolated enzymes produced is studied and also study the application of produced enzymes in bioconversion of OOMSW biomass as substrate.

The respiratory muscles are skeletal muscles that power the vital function of pulmonary ventilation. Many COPD patients have impaired respiratory muscle function which has a significant adverse effect on their lives. Impairment of inspiratory muscle function is of particular importance in COPD patients. Two treatment types are currently available for impaired inspiratory muscle function in COPD patients: inspiratory muscle training and surgery. Inspiratory muscle function can improve with specific training. It appears that there are significant gains after inspiratory muscle training Inspiratory muscle function is improved by specific inspiratory muscle training when intensity is monitored and exceeds 20% of maximal inspiratory pressure (PI max).

This thesis proposes a study of social criticism in the major plays of the American dramatist Elmer Rice. It is mainly concerned with showing Rice's prominence as a social dramatist and the reasons for his neglect by his critics. The thesis attempts to prove that Rice's nature as a social critic was directly affected by the political, economic and social conditions which were contemporary to his works. It also shows that Rice's adoption of social criticism in his plays was a means towards diagnosing the ills of the American social life. His Utopian and social attitude was said to have played a very important part in shaping his criticism of the shortcomings of his society. Springing from a deep sense of patriotism, his social criticism has always been seen as a main aspect in his social plays. Furthermore, the thesis has put a great emphasis on the fact that Rice's social criticism was mainly launched against capitalism which reflected his attitude as a Fabian socialist.To emphasize the credibility of this idea, the thesis has given a full analysis of the themes of Rice's major plays. Its target has been an attempt to give an evidence of Rice's valuable social works.

One of the first researchers who suggested the leading role of the immune system in antitumor resistance was Paul Ehrlich - the founder of the humoral theory of immunity . Therefore, the first attempts to study the immune system in malignant tumors were aimed at finding specific tumor antigens that could be used to immunize and obtain specific sera for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients. This methodical approach was widely used in immunology until the mid-60s, and in some cases, it is used in the present.

To understand the causes and consequences of cultural diversity in Iraq in light of the recent political developments accompanied with the emergence of problems are not new to the Iraqi community. They coincided the Middle East unrest and the separatist calls of some minorities in Middle Eastern countries, including Iraq, which came because of marginalization, exclusion and violence towards these minorities. It was necessary to conduct a sample survey to find out the opinions and attitudes of the Iraqi individuals toward this issue. The questionnaire was distributed among Iraqi citizens staying in the country and abroad. The questions were chosen to cover the topics related to the extent of national belonging and dealing with others within a culturally diverse society and the degree of interaction of political.

The oil and gas industry is considered to be one of the most dangerous industries. The average occupational fatality rate for employees in the oil and gas industry is seven times higher than the rate of all accidents in other sectors. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is considered to be an essential and integral part of several safety and health management systems. The evaluation of factors that determine the choosing and use of PPE is very crucial. The barriers are found to be a combination from different factors which relate to technical, behaviour, workers' risk perception, knowledge, legality, morality, design, money, time and organisational culture. The key themes identified that awareness of hazard; perceived risk; perceived effectiveness of PPE protection; management enforcement; available time were factors associated with the workers' willingness to wear PPE. Once worn; the discomfort and lack of communication were found the key themes. This book is suitable for Senior Managers, Middle Managers and all other workers in the oil and gas industry. It provides them with description of factors that they need to consider prior purchasing and during the use of PPE.

Communication cannot happen effectively without Machine-Translation because they can be found anytime and everywhere. There is a number of research that has developed Machine-Translations and provides somehow precise translations between many languages and the English. However, translation to the Arabic language hasn¿t been considered to give us a precise translation yet. As a result, there¿s a necessity to enable the users to get a more corrected translation from and to the Arabic language than many of the previous works. Therefore, the aim of this work is to extend the Judge Method model of Arabic-English machine translation to provide a translation based on ontology and to illustrate its work. To evaluate this model, a sample dataset was established to be used for testing purposes. The used way to evaluate NAN final is the cosine similarity which can be used to evaluate the similarity between two texts after translation or summarization. The angle of similarity of NAN translation with human translation was approximately equals to 10.7¿. Accordingly to that, NAN¿s angles is the smallest, better and corrector than Google¿s and Bing¿s.

Each year, we learn more about rehabilitation benefits of staying physically active and being properly nourished throughout our lives. The work of scientists, rehabilitation professionals, and older adult volunteers have greatly increased our knowledge about the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease rehabilitation process and how we can maintain strength, endurance, dignity, and independence as we age. Essential to treatment chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients and staying healthy and vital during older adulthood is participation in regular rehabilitation exercises, which help to improve quality of life, reduce morbidity and mortality, and prevent increasing of severity of disease. Feeling physically strong also promotes mental and emotional health. Rehabilitation exercises are easy to learn, and have been proven safe and effective through years of thorough research. Experts at the Morjan Hospital for Disease Control and Prevention and Babylon University, with the help of older adults, have created this book, REHABILITATION Of CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE to help you become healthy and maintain your respiratory system and independence.

There are several elements that lead to abortion all associated with human reproduction. Among the most important factors are genetic and uterine abnormalities, immunological dysfunctions and endocrine, environmental pollutants, infectious agents, psychogenetic factors and endometriosis. Moreover, Stress, pollutants, smoking etc. also escalate the risk of miscarriage. The ability of the fetus to withstand infectious organisms is limited and the immune system is unable to preclude the dissemination of infectious organisms to various tissues, therefore, some maternal infections, particularly during the early gestation, can cause fetal loss or malformations. TORCH is a term used to describe Toxoplasmosis, Cytomegalovirus infection, Rubella virus and Herpes Simplex virus infection. The aforementioned collections of infections represent the main risks of critical congenital infection throughout pregnancy, which could eventually lead to fetal harm or further anomalies. The infection sometimes may be so serious that it could lead to grave damage to the fetus more than the mother in most cases.
