  • Sulaymaniyah Governorate Profile November 2010
    Sulaymaniyah Governorate Profile November 2010 Overview Located in the north east of Iraq on the border with Iran, Sulaymaniyah combines with Erbil and Dahuk governorates to form the area administrated by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). Sulaymaniyah contains the third largest share of the population, which is one of the most urbanized in Iraq. The landscape becomes increasingly mountainous towards the eastern border with Iran. Unemployment is relatively low in the governorate at 12%. However, the relatively high unemployment (27%) among women, the low proportion of women employed in wage jobs outside agriculture, allied to the relatively low percentage of jobs for women in the public sector implies that women face barriers to employment in non-agricultural sectors. Sulaymaniyah’s economy has potential advantages due to the governorate’s plentiful natural water supplies, favourable climate and peaceful security situation. Commercial flights have been operational between Sulaymaniyah and cities in the Middle East and Europe since 2005. However, poor infrastructure and bureaucratic barriers to private sector investment are hindering development. Few of Sulaymaniyah’s residents (3%) are among Iraq’s poorest, but the governorate performs badly according to many other developmental and humanitarian indicators. Education levels are generally below average: illiteracy rates among women are approaching 50% in all districts apart from Sulaymaniyah and Halabja, and are above 25% for men in Penjwin, Pshdar, Kifri and Chamchamal. 14% of Kifri and Demographics Chamchamal’s residents suffer from a chronic diseases. There are also . widespread infrastructural problems, with all districts suffering from Governorate Capital: Sulaymaniyah prolonged power cuts, and Penjwin, Said Sadik, Kardagh and Area: 17,023 sq km (3.9% of Iraq) Sharbazher experiencing poor access to the water network.

Excavations at Girdi Qala and Logardan in Iraqi Kurdistan, west of the Qara Dagh range in ChamchamalDistrict (Sulaymaniyah Governorate) instead offer clear evidence for a massive and earlyUruk presence with mo- numental buildings, ramps, gates, residential and craft areasfrom the very beginning of the 4th millennium BC.

  • Plural Genetic Algorithms Approach to Control Agricultural Mechanization and Wheat Production Yousif Y
    Journal of Mechanical Engineering Research and Developments ISSN: 1024-1752 CODEN: JERDFO Vol. 43, No. 5, pp. 373-383 Published Year 2020 Plural Genetic Algorithms Approach to Control Agricultural Mechanization and Wheat Production Yousif Y. Hilal*, Raqeeb Hummadi Rajab, Arkan M. A. Seddiq Department of Agricultural Machines and Equipment, College of Agriculture and Forestry, University of Mosul, Iraq *Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: For many years the Iraqi wheat production has been facing the challenge of the reduced rate of grain yield caused by the drop in wheat production and high land usage. In the wheat production, the presence of many variables, selecting critical input energy play a crucial role in apprehending different issues, i.e., optimization yield and decision making. The study presents a genetic algorithm program developed to identify the relevant variables affecting the wheat grain yield and straw. In this method, a subset of variables was obtained from a large set. Under a given set of assumptions of active interest in wheat grain yield and straw production predictions in Iraq. Research findings used three years of the wheat mechanization operation that includes tillage, seedbed preparation implements, seeding implements, fertilizing, and pesticide implements, and harvesting. P-fertilizer, seed, and N- fertilizer consumption are considered the most important variables in wheat farm operations, its importance being the relative values of 0.431,0.327 and 0.273. These variables impacted wheat operation during the three years at 19007.1, 28985.607 and 6788.8275 MJ /ha for Bakrajo, Ranya and Chamchamal, respectively. The research concludes that the genetic algorithm method is a user-friendly variable selection tool with excellent results because it can choose variables correctly.

  • Towards a Deleuzian Approach in Urban Design
    Difference and Repetition in Redevelopment Projects for the Al Kadhimiya Historical Site, Baghdad, Iraq: Towards a Deleuzian Approach in Urban Design A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ARCHITECTURE In the School of Architecture and Interior Design Of the college of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning 2018 By Najlaa K. Kareem Bachelor of Architecture, University of Technology 1999 Master of Science in Urban and Regional Planning, University of Baghdad 2004 Dissertation Committee: Adrian Parr, PhD (Chair) Laura Jenkins, PhD Patrick Snadon, PhD Abstract In his book Difference and Repetition, the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze distinguishes between two theories of repetition, one associated with the ‘Platonic’ theory and the other with the ‘Nietzschean’ theory. Repetition in the ‘Platonic’ theory, via the criterion of accuracy, can be identified as a repetition of homogeneity, using pre-established similitude or identity to repeat the Same, while repetition in the ‘Nietzschean’ theory, via the criterion of authenticity, is aligned with the virtual rather than real, producing simulacra or phantasms as a repetition of heterogeneity. It is argued in this dissertation that the distinction that Deleuze forms between modes of repetition has a vital role in his innovative approaches to the Nietzschean’s notion of ‘eternal return’ as a differential ontology, offering numerous insights into work on issues of homogeneity and heterogeneity in a design process. Deleuze challenges the assumed capture within a conventional perspective by using German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s conception of the ‘eternal return.’ This dissertation aims to question the conventional praxis of architecture and urban design formalisms through the impulse of ‘becoming’ and ‘non- representational’ thinking of Deleuze.
