    Sheikh Omar è uno dei 13 quartieri all'interno del Distretto Rusafa di Baghdad orientale. Alcune parti di Sheikh Omar si sono evoluti in comodità zone industriali bassi, che non fanno il miglior uso di una posizione e che tale centrale sono quindi essere trasferiti a nuovi insediamenti industriali più vicine ai margini della città . Poiché questa regione ha sofferto di un cambiamento fisico profonda a causa della omissione di studi sull'uomo . Queste opportunità consentono la riqualificazione della zona di Sheikh Omar Questa tesi analizza la possibilità di ri- sviluppo dell'area dello sceicco Omar . Si applica una serie di principi di progettazione urbana , basata soprattutto sulla ricerca riguardante il design open space e distribuzione e dei loro effetti sul comportamento umano , per allineare la progettazione del nuovo ambiente fisico più da vicino alle esigenze e ai benefici dei suoi utenti . In questo modo gli studi umani , e in combinazione con l'esame della progettazione fisica con lo spazio urbano , in grado di creare un modello urbano più sostenibile con benefici a lungo termine per i residenti e la città . Il caso di studio è un'analisi dei problemi della regione , che ha portato al deterioramento dell'ambiente urbano e di formulare proposte per lo sviluppo della regione sceicco Omar , aree pubbliche del disegno , in termini di dimensioni , funzionalità, connettività e la qualità della rete di spazi aperti , è una parte molto importante del master plan - piuttosto che open space comprendente gli spazi ancora disponibili dopo che gli edifici sono stati disposti

    An Empirical Evaluation of k-Means Coresets

    No full text
    Coresets are among the most popular paradigms for summarizing data. In particular, there exist many high performance coresets for clustering problems such as k-means in both theory and practice. Curiously, there exists no work on comparing the quality of available k-means coresets. In this paper we perform such an evaluation. There currently is no algorithm known to measure the distortion of a candidate coreset. We provide some evidence as to why this might be computationally difficult. To complement this, we propose a benchmark for which we argue that computing coresets is challenging and which also allows us an easy (heuristic) evaluation of coresets. Using this benchmark and real-world data sets, we conduct an exhaustive evaluation of the most commonly used coreset algorithms from theory and practice

    The Political Thought of the Late H.H. Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Founder of the United Arab Emirates (1966 - 2004)

    No full text
    This thesis highlights the political thought of H.H. Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, a man who made decisive contributions to the history of the twentieth century, and the various reflections of this political thought on the UAE, its people and the international community at large. In this regard, it explores and analyzes a multifaceted political thought that took its form in political practice in the establishment of the Federation, the management of crises and in the building of a prosperous enduring nation. Evaluating the factors that influenced the formation of the doctrinal matrix of Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, this thesis traces the background from within which Sheikh Zayed’s leadership skills evolved and developed. From his early years onwards, Sheikh Zayed made a firm commitment to undertake the considerable task of building a fully fledged state out of a divided tribal background, improve the lives of citizens, and carve a place for the UAE in the international arena. This research project illustrates the implications and dimensions of Sheikh Zayed's political thinking process exemplified in his discursive statements and actions. It documents and analyzes the career achievements of Sheikh Zayed, a statesman acknowledged by contemporary and future generations to have had significant impact on the political direction and overall development of the UAE. This impact also demonstrates the potential of his contribution to the field of political thought. One of this study’s primary conclusions is that the accomplishments of Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al-Nahyan during his rule have resulted primarily from his development of an integrated doctrine of governance that reflected his humanistic outlook. In this regard, at both the domestic and international levels, Sheikh Zayed’s political decisions and acts were undertaken with reference to this outlook

    Malnutrition is still a big health problem in our country. Malnutrition is any disorders of nutrition. It may result from an unbalanced, insufficient, or excessive diet or from impaired absorption of food. To get a measure of malnutrition in a population, young children  and infant, they can be   weighed and measured   and     the results are compared with references to known if  they    have    grown well. Measuring weight and height is the most common way of assessing malnutrition in a population. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of malnutrition on and to explore it’s contributing factors among children under 5 years of age in Baghdad governorate in 2016. Samples were collected from primary health care centers of Sheikh - Omar center in Baghdad city. The total number of samples was (248) that were chosen from Sheikh - Omar center. The nutritional status was assessed by measuring weight for age. Prevalence of malnutrition has been found to be higher among  male children with age of less than one year. Prevalence of malnutrition has been found to be higher among crowding index of 5 or more person per room, age of less than one year at adding supplementary foods. Finally, the malnutrition was higher among children with artificial feeding during the first six months of age
