Many generalized families of distributions have been proposed and studied over the last two decades for modeling data in many applied areas. In this paper, depending on the idea of Bourguignon et al., a new family of weighted exponential distribution named as weighted exponential family of probability distributions has been proposed and studied which based on using weighted exponential generator. In addition, weighted exponential - uniform and weighted exponential - Kumaraswamy distributions have been provide as two examples for this new family.

Visceral experience inside the imagery is a new perception of being physically present in a non-physical world by using new technology as Oculus Rift. Virtual simulation at any images and videos for the purpose of taking practical knowledge without being present in that area which provide preoccupy total environment. Oculus Rift is a virtual reality headset, which provides 6 degrees of freedom rotational and positional tracking to give the real test of presence in the imagery sphere. Imagery analysis by using immersive visualization before and after the earthquake is a technique to measure the scale of devastation without being present at any locations. To move inside the Street view, Satellite view and Bird’s view before and after the earthquake with head mounted display makes the exact features of the scale of devastation by using same and different geometry in each eye. By dragging and dropping any objects inside the existing scene and make executive scene which gives the actual features about this object.

Tripod robot system can replace the manual to complete industrial control action simple but repetitive work, such as in the industrial production line of the sorting work. In the actual control, how to quickly and accurately identify the color and shape of the object, at the same time in the shortest time to place it in the specified location, is an urgent problem to be solved. Tripod robot control system based on improved Hamiltonian path planning algorithm , combining the corner detection and corner filling algorithm can accurately identify the shape of the object; using the greedy algorithm to realize the local optimal solution, a dynamic programming algorithm to achieve the global optimal solution, solves the problem of sorting in the shortest time. Experimental results show that the system can achieve the sorting of objects accurately and efficiently.

Sulphate attack is a significant problem which locally affects concrete and other constructional materials. The aim of this work is to study the effect of internal sulphate which is present in concrete raw materials. Gypsum was used as a source of internal sulphate. Specimens were prepared for mechanical tests in formed of (150mm cubes) for compressive test and (100*100*400 mm prisms) for flexure test with selective mix proportions of 1:2:4 by weight and water/cement ratio of 0.5 by weight. Results have shown that the compressive strength of concrete at age of 60 days decreases by 46%, 52%, 65% when added sulphate is in 3%, 5%, and 7% by weight of sand to concrete mixes, respectively. Also results have shown that when the percentage of cement content increased by 3% , 5% , 7% in concrete mixes ,which contain sulphates in 3% , 5% , 7% by weight of sand ,the compressive strength of concrete at 28 and 60 days has been increased and has the same compressive strength of concrete without sulphates. Moreover, flexural strength decreased by 10%, 25% and 38% when added sulphate is in 3% , 5%, 7% by weight of sand to concrete mixes and at age of 60 days, respectively. This decrement in flexural strength has been tempered by increasing the cement percentage by (3, 5, 7) % of cement weight to become equal to the value of standard specimens.

Energy availability is a vital factor for the survival and optimal performance of industries worldwide. Energy deficit poses a serious threat to the optimal performance of industrial processes, industrial growth and economic development of any nation. Nigeria is blessed with abundant natural resources from which energy could be freely harnessed to meet the nation’s ever spiralling energy needs. Owing to various reasons some of which are pin-pointed here, however, Nigeria continues to suffer acute shortage of energy to power the manufacturing sector therefore hindering her industrial and economic development. The study seeks to investigate the impact of energy deficit on the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) of selected manufacturing firms in Nigeria as well as suggest ways of using OEE to maximise energy and improve productivity. Data extracted from the sampled firms were used in the computation of the Availability (A), Performance (P), Product Quality (Q) and the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) applicable to each firm. The findings show that Nigeria must adopt vigorous steps to explore and exploit its abundant energy resources in other to achieve her dream of becoming an industrial giant in the nearest future.

This paper reports obtaining of useful and highly value materials from wheat bran. For this purpose, wheat bran sample was burned for 30 s using Nd: YAG laser with output power 60 W. The product of synthesis process and non-burned wheat bran were characterized by x-ray diffractometer (XRD), energy dispersive xray (EDX) and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) so as to investigate its crystal structure and chemical components. XRD results of the sample before burning process revealed amorphous silica, cubic phase of silicon carbide and rhombohedral phase of carbon. The obtained results showed that burning process using Nd: YAG laser can convert the cubic structure of silicon carbide into hexagonal and rhombohedral structure and convert rhombohedral structure of carbon into hexagonal structure; also it revealed a monoclinic structure of silica after burning. FTIR showed a number of absorbance peaks assigned to silica and silicon carbide.

Presently computer technology is becoming an important education tool especially in girl‟s schools about the use of computer technology. Therefore, the main objectives of this study was to introduce different types of computer and information technology knowledge related to student‟s life and society requirements. The population for this study was a group of people involved in the module including both the teachers and students from two secondary schools in Al- Qassim. Personnel interview was considered as the best method for the study from the researcher's perspective. A conceptual model was developed to evaluate the use of Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) for the improvement of teaching computer technology in girls‟ secondary schools. Questionnaire was designed based on the Likert Scale for the respondents to sate their level of agreement on the scale of five items [strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree and strongly disagree with a scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree). The implementation of the Soft Systems Methodology was illustrated by stages, which included the development of a rich picture, root definitions, conceptual models and comparison with the real world. The application of SSM achieved some of the study objectives pertaining to computer teaching technology in girl‟s secondary school encountered by many obstacles. The achievement of SSM application was presented in the rich picture which seemed helpful especially in presenting the conflict between the students and the teacher‟s demands keeping in view the limitations of the program for better understanding of the situation. The induction of computer teaching technology proved useful in enhancing the student‟s skill about the benefits of computer tools in learning at schools. The suggested system was found useful for updating the use of SSM by applying the computer module in teaching computer technology in girl‟s secondary schools in Al-Qaseem, Saudi Arabia. Because it is comprehensive and would fully examine the application of SSM methodology. This study recommended the application of SSM in schools context but within the context of individuals‟ conflict situation. Application and use of computer teaching technology is an important education tool especially in girl‟s schools about the use of computer tools and software for improving learning skills about different aspects of life. This study recommended the induction of computer teaching technology for enhancing the student‟s skill about the benefits of computer tools for learning and understanding different aspects of life at school levels.
