Due to the global concerns on the depletion of fossil fuels and the negative effect of their use in environmental pollution and climate change, renewable energy resources are increasingly in demand. Global solar power generation has almost doubled during the last 2 years with countries, such as China, leading the way with huge investments. The first generation of solar cells are either single or multi crystalline silicon, and still have 59% market share; the second (amorphous silicon, copper indium gallium selenide, and cadmium telluride) is approaching in terms of cost and efficiency; and the third (dye sensitized solar cells, organic photovoltaic, quantum dots, and perovskite) all show promise yet are still to come to market. However, future solar cells (using copper oxide and zinc oxide) featuring the regular intrusion of one junction layer into the other in order to massively improve junction contact area are of particular promise. arabic 7 English 50

يستخدم الجادولنيوم كعامل لتحسين تباين صور الرنين المغناطيسي في أغلب حالات التصوير التي يتعذر فيها تحديد نوع الاصابة او طبيعة الورم، ويتميز الجادولنيوم بخصائص مغناطيسية تمكنهُ من التأثير على زمن الاسترخاء للبروتونات الموجودة في النسيج. مما يسبب في زيادة شدة الاشارة أو تقليلها حسب نوع الصورة. ويهدف هذا البحث لدراسة العلاقة بين زيادة شدة الإشارة في أنسجة الدماغ بعد استخدام الجادولنيوم وبعض البارامترات المحسوبة إحصائيا عن طريق معالجة صور الرنين باستخدام طريقة مصفوفة التكرارات للمستويات الرماديةGrey Level Co-occurrence Matrix. وحيث أن زيادة شدة الاشارة تكون نتيجة تقصير زمن الاسترخاء في الصورة المرجحة T1. تم دراسة إحدى أهم العوامل المؤثرة في الإشارات المكونة لصورة الرنين المغناطيسي وهو زمن الاسترخاء، وتم توضيح تأثير زمن الاسترخاء الطولي T1 والعرضي T2على تباين انسجة الدماغ في صور الرنين، ثم قمنا بمعالجة صور مرجحة لزمن الاسترخاء الطولي (T1- Weighted) أُخدت في المقطع المحوري (axial)، هذه الصور لحالات مصابة بأورام في الدماغ تم فيها استعمال الجادولنيوم. اهتمت هذه الدراسة بتحديد العلاقة بين زيادة شدة الاشارة في الانسجة المصابة وبعض البارامترات المحسوبة احصائياً عن طريق المعالجة. كما تم دراسة مدى استجابة الانسجة الطبيعية للجادولنيوم وتم مقارنتها بالأنسجة المصابة. واثبتت النتائج ان زيادة شدة الإشارة بعد استعمال حُقن الجادولنيوم في المناطق التي تحتوي على أنسجة مصابة يزيد في قيم البكسل المكونة لصورة الرنين. وبينت النتائج أن زيادة شدة الإشارة تتناسب مع تلك البارامترات المحسوبة كُلا حسب طبيعة النسيج. Abstract Gadolinium used as a factor to improve the contrast magnetic resonance images, in most cases of imaging that can't determine the type of lesion or tumor. Gadolinium is characterized by magnetic properties of being able to influence the relaxation time of protons in tissue. This would cause an increase or decrease in the intensity of the signal depending on the type of image. This research aims to study the relationship between the increases in signal intensity in the brain tissue by using Gadolinium. Statistically method would be implied after resonance images are processed, using a matrix method of iterations for gray level, it is know as Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix. In T1-weighted image, an increase in signal intensity is duo to shorting of relaxation time. Relaxation time which is considered as one of the most important aspect effecting the signal component from MRI images was studied in depth. Also, the effect of relaxation time longitudinal T1 and transverse T2 on the variation of brain tissue were clarified. Then, T1-weighted axial images were processed. Images used in this work were taken from patients with brain tumor, and contrast agent (Gadolinium) was used to enhance them. This study focused on identifying the relationship between the increase in signal intensity in the lesion tissues and statistically calculated parameters. The respond of normal and effected tissues the Gadolinium were compared. The study shows that an in increases in pixel intensity, after contrast is introduced, in areas with infected tissue. Also, the results indicate that signal intensity commensurate with those calculated parameters.

: Neodymium isotopes (Z=60) lie in the traditional rotational to transitional-spherical region that occurs at the range of deformed nuclei. The identity of 146−158 Neodymium nuclei have been determined in framework of Interacting Boson Model-2, a simulation program with NPBOS has been used to obtain the theoretical energy levels for Neodymium isotopes. The parameters of the best fit to the measured data are determined. The energy positive parity bands of those isotopes were calculated using (IBM-2) and then it compared with the experimental values. The mentioned isotopes ratios (E(4_1^+))/(E(2_1^+)) have calculated and also E-GOS curves (( E_γ)/I) have drawn as a function of the spin I, to classify symmetry of the nuclei. The electromagnetic transition probabilities B(E2) of these nuclei was calculated as well, where a good agreement for low lying energy states were obtained between experimental results and theoretical calculations. The results have been shown that the interested nuclei 152-158Nd have rotational characters SU (3), and O (6) symmetry is substantiated for 146-148Nd, as well as the critical point X (5) has been determined for 150Nd isotope.
