Utilization of thermal bands of Landsat 8 data and geographic information system for analysis of urban heat island in Baghdad governorate 2016
No full textThis study aimed to determine Urban Heat Island in Baghdad Governorate capital of Iraq by thermal bands of Landsat 8 images and Geographic Information System. Two cloud free Landsat 8 scenes covering the study area were selected for analysis. These scenes were located at path 168/37 and path 169/37. Images were acquired during daytime at 10:33 AM and it were dated August 19, 2016 and August 26, 2016, respectively. All images mentioned above were registered in Universal Transverse Mercator projection zone 38. Temperatures have been extracted from thermal bands 10 and 11 for each scene and then these results have been merged by mosaic process to produce one scene for band 10 and band 11. Finally, urban heat island has been extracted for study area by taking the average temperatures of band 10 and band 11. The final results shown that Baghdad Governorate contains four heat islands: water body, built-up area, green area, and bare land area. The Heat Island of bare land was highest, followed by green area, built-up area and water body. The highest summer daytime Heat Island was found on bare land (57°C), followed by green area (45 °C),built-up area (43 °C), and water body (37 °C)

Academia- Industry- Government Partnership for Addition of Value to Society
No full textEXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Alaa Abun.ijem, Raklunan Gul, Douglas Harms, Shahzada Iqbal, Rami Khalaf, Mohamed Moussa, Gregg Theiss Engineering Management Program, Portland State University, Portland, OR 97207-0751, USA This report is the outcome of a research project conducted by a group of graduate students of the Engineering Management Program of Portland State University, Portland, OR, to fulfill the course requirements of EGMT 520/620. The theme of the research project revolves around the relationship between academia, industry and government over a broad spectrum oftime for adding value to society. The emphasis, however, has been focused on the building of a partnership between the three institutions in the United States and its resulting consequences on society
Dibenzyl ferrocene-1,1&#8242;-dicarboxylate
No full textIn the title compound, [Fe(C13H11O2)2], there are markedly different orientations of the two phenylmethoxycarbonyl substituents [O&#8212;C&#8212;C&#8212;C torsion angles = 84.5&#8197;(3) and 139.6&#8197;(2)&#176;]. These orientations are mediated by a number of intermolecular C&#8212;H...O interactions, which result in a one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network of molecules
Pobreza y sexo en "La colmena" de Camilo José Cela y "El edificio Yacobian" de Alaa Al-Aswany
No full textThe purpose of this article is to analyze and compare the novel by the Spanish writer Camilo José Cela and the Egyptian author Alaa al-Aswany, emphasizing the features of poverty and sex in the two novels: La colmena (1951) and The Yacobian building (2002). We also highlight the causes and circumstances that led some characters to resort to sex as their only alternative and escape route in one society as in the other. Therefore, this research work approach both the Spanish and the Egyptian reality to which the author refers.Este trabajo de investigación consiste en el análisis y la comparación de la novela del escritor español Camilo José Cela y el egipcio Alaa al-Aswany haciendo hincapié en los rasgos de pobreza y sexo en las dos novelas: La colmena (1951) y El edificio Yacobian (2002). También subrayamos las causas y circunstancias que llevaron a algunos personajes en recurrir al sexo como su única alternativa y vía de escape tanto en una sociedad como en la otra. Por ello, la investigación aborda tanto la realidad española como la egipcia a la que se refiere el autor

Optimization of transfer efficiency of a dynamic wireless charging system for electric vehicles
No full textA scaled down truck model equipped with a wireless dynamic charging system
was the main platform for development, in this study. The goal was to enhance
the efficiency of the power transfer from the road-way coil to the truck’s on-board
pick-up coil. This was done by following two methodologies; the first was to fine
tune the driving controls through an autonomous driving system, based on clas-
sic computer vision algorithms, in order to maintain a close to perfect alignment
between the two coils. The second methodology was to establish a real-time com-
munication link between the truck and the roadway controller; in order to syn-
chronize the triggering of the road-way coil to minimize the energy lost when the
truck is not passing over the road-way charger. The truck is equipped by an Nvidia
Jetson Tx2 board that handles the autonomous driving, and a Zynq board controls
the charging of the truck’s battery by rectifying and regulating the wirelessly re-
ceived power.On the sending side, the roadway unit is controlled by another Zynq
board, which was connected through bluetooth to the truck’s Jetson board. The
BT link enables the truck to trigger the charger on/off in real-time. Two different
triggering scenarios were tested; to quantify the parasitic idling losses and to il-
lustrate the utilization of the established real-time communication in minimizing
such losses. The development platform for the truck’s autopilot was ROS (robot
operating system), which is a powerful middleware framework that runs on Linux
based operating systems. As for the roadway unit, the Xilinx Vivado design suite
was used for development
