To date, there is no central wastewater (WW) treatment plant in Erbil city, Kurdistan region, Iraq. Therefore, raw WW disposes to the environment and sometimes it used directly for irrigation in some areas of Erbil city. Disposal of the untreated WW to the natural environment and using for irrigation it causes problems for the people and the environment. The aims of the current work were to study the characteristics, design of primary and different secondary treatment units and reusing of produced WW. Raw WW samples from Ashty city-Erbil city were collected and analyzed for twenty three quality parameters such as Total Suspended Solids (TSS), total dissolved solids, total volatile and non-volatile solids, total acidity, total alkalinity, total hardness, five-day Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), biodegradability ratio (BOD5/COD), turbidity, etc. Results revealed that some parameters such as BOD5 and TSS were exceeded the standards for disposal of WW. Design and calculations for primary and secondary treatment (biological treatment) processes were presented. Primary treatment units such as screening, grit chamber, and flow equalization tank were designed and detailed calculation were illustrated. While, Conventional Activated Sludge (CAS), Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) and Moving Bed Biofilm Reactors (MBBR) were applied for the biological treatment of WW. Results revealed that MBBR was the best and economic technique for the biological treatment of WW. Treated WW is suitable for reusing and there is no restriction on use for irrigation of green areas inside Ashty city campus.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of child nursing simulation using standardized patient on nursing student's anxiety, self-efficacy, and critical thinking disposition. A one group pre test-post test design was used. The subjects of the study were 62 students in the nursing department and 4th year students at the university in C city. The hospitalized child nursing simulation was conducted for approximately 3.5 hours, including 60 minutes of pre-study and orientation, 60-80 minutes of hands-on scenarios, and 30 minutes of reflection diary writing and debriefing. The data collection was conducted from March to December 2016. Statistical analyses of the collected data were conducted, including t-tests, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and Cronbach's ${\alpha}$. Analyses were conducted using SPSS 21.0. The results of the study showed that anxiety (p <.001) was significantly lower and self-efficacy (p<.001) and critical thinking disposition (p<.001) were higher. Therefore, we propose that various scenarios for simulation practice that utilize standardized patients to enhance core nursing abilities be developed.

In this paper, we propose a new monitor for collecting job information from Hadoop clusters in real time. This monitor is made of two programs called Collector and Agent. Agent collects Hadoop cluster's node information and job information, and Collector analyzes the collected information and saves it in a database. Also, Collector was placed in a new node outside the Hadoop cluster so that it does not affect Hadoop's work and will not cause overload. When the proposed monitor was implemented and applied, the testbed cluster was able to detect the occurrence of dead nodes immediately. In addition, we were able to find Hadoop jobs which were inefficient and when we modified such jobs to further enhance the performance of Hadoop.

The domestic airline industry undertakes the production of finished products by assembling existing self-described components via a design process which involves assembly and production steps, after which many of the finished products are exported. However, high reliability and stability must be guaranteed, because customers require high-precision components at the time of manufacturing. In the aircraft parts industry, the mass production of high-value-added parts is limited. Therefore, a small production scale depending on the part is used, as many types of conventional CNC lathe machines with X-axis and Z-axis as well as Z-axis and C-axis CNC milling are used. The parts also rely on high-pressure air to increase production. The most important factors are good stability during processing, as high-precision parts are required, as noted above. It was found that as the C-axis rotation speed increased, the diameter of the cutting tool decreased with a decrease in the surface roughness, while the workpiece rotation speed increased with an increase in the surface roughness.

This paper is the research result of designing and developing a BLDC motor for driving a condenser fan, which is widely used in air conditioners of commercial vehicles and specially equipped vehicles, and produced with a target value. The design of the motor was carried out in the order of designing the electric and magnetic circuits after determining the motor specifications. The process was repeated with different set values until the designed target condition was satisfied, and the electric and magnetic field distributions were made to be equal by reflecting the characteristics of the material. As a structural feature of the motor, it is a rotating field type composed of multipoles, and has a structure in which a permanent magnet is attached to the surface of the rotor. The manufactured BLDC motor is a 3-phase square wave driving method, with a rated voltage of 24 [V], a rotational speed of 2,500 [rpm], a rated current of 10 [A], and a power consumption of 180 [W]. A microcontroller for driving and controlling the motor was also manufactured.

Smoking is associated with an increased incidence of numerous cancers and other degenerative diseases. It has been suggested that high consumption of fruits and vegetables may give some protection. Especially carrot is the most important source of dietary ${\beta}$-carotene. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate whether carrot juice supplementation to smokers have different or superior effect of compared to the effect supplementing purified ${\beta}$-carotene. The study was conducted in a randomized and placebo-controlled design, after a depletion period of 14 days, 48 smokers were supplemented either carrot juice (n = 18), purified ${\beta}$-carotene (n = 16) or placebo (n = 14). Each group was supplemented for 8 weeks with approximately 20.49 mg of ${\beta}$-carotene/day and 1.2 mg of vitamin C/day, as carrot juice (300 mL/day) or purified ${\beta}$-carotene (1 capsule/day). Plasma vitamin C, vitamin E and ${\beta}$-carotene level were significantly increased after carrot juice and ${\beta}$-carotene supplementation. These results suggest that carrot juice containing ${\beta}$-carotene or ${\beta}$-carotene itself have similar antioxidative potentials by increasing the antioxidant potential in smokers. Therefore, we suggest moderate dose of vitamin supplementation (amount of two servings of vegetable intake) may help to replenish the decreased oxidative stress levels in smokers.
