There are millions of computer users around word but only few people have knowledge about diagnostic card, on the other hand if someone has theoretical knowledge then don’t know/understand about the language of diagnostic card. In this piece of work we have tried to resolve issues related to diagnostic card and provided much solution related to routine problems of motherboard. The objective of this research is to provide easily knowledge about the language of diagnostic card so that common user can easily knew that what type of code diagnostic card generated and can resolve the problem in motherboard at its own without consulting to hardware engineer. We have given at home simple solutions about problems related to heating issue of main chip, power supply problem, beep problem, hanging problem, red light problem and processor problem through this diagnostic card.

Transmission Network Expansion Planning (TNEP) is a basic part of the power system planning that verifies where, when and how many new transmission lines should be added to the network. In this paper, expansion planning has been implemented by merging lines loading parameter in the TNEP problem using an improved Discrete Honey Bee Mating Optimization (DHBMO) algorithm. Expanded network will possess a maximum adequacy to provide load demand and also the transmission lines overloaded later. DHBMO algorithm combines the power of genetic algorithms and simulated annealing with a fast problem specific local search heuristic to find the best possible solution within a reasonable computation time. For this reason, the potential of the proposed approach for optimal solution of TNEP problem has been investigated and tested on the Garvers network and a real transmission network in Iran in comparison with the Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization (DPSO) method. The results evaluation show that the using the proposed DHBMO based method, the expansion costs is significantly reduced and the network adequacy is increased considerably than the DPSO algorithm. Also, regarding the convergence curves of both approaches, it can be seen that precision of the proposed algorithm to solve the TNEP problem is more than DPSO one.

The close relationship between religion and burial architecture as well as the special respect and reverence of Muslims to the holy shrines was the main reason of the development of burial architecture. Thus, the structure of such constructions is associated with holiness and symbolic values, on the one hand, and with the religious and political identity of the deceased person, on the other hand. Various types of dome such as rok, nar, and double-shelled have been introduced to the world and their functions have been investigated. In this architecture, ourchin dome, which is of typical characteristics of the tombs in southern part of Iran, has been neglected. Little information about this type of dome is available in the history of Iranian architecture. And this little information is limited to some reports and pictures from foreign tourists and unknown writers, including no more than a few names and dates of constructing of such structures. Therefore, the origin and the reason for the development of such domes as well as their role are still mysterious. In different parts of the present study, comparative, retrospective, and fieldwork studies have been used, whenever needed. In the current research, the root of the word, ourchin dome, and its meaning are pointed out. Also, the origin of Iranian architecture, which dates back to Seljuqid period, is introduced. Then, the geometric relationships of its sides are examined and different varieties of this dome [star and polygonal] are drawn. Studying the typology of the examples of this dome in Iran and Iraq revealed some remarkable points about the geometric, height, and shape of the dome, in addition to the number of its stories. Some factors, like the function of the crown, method of its construction, cover of the dome, and the system of the distribution of the load are clarified. Finally, by investigating the influential cultural and historical factors, we concluded that that the main reason for the development of the general structure of this type of dome was symbolic, not simply religious. This dome by its own or in combination with religious places has played an affective and functional role over time.

This article deals with the role of religion of Islam in tourism industry. In this respect it studies the relationship between Islam and tourism, aspects of the interconnection between Islam and tourism, manners of Muslims as hosts and guests, and finally the international collaboration in Islamic tourism industry. The study showed the religion of Islam has had profound influences in destination conditions and inbound and outbound tourists and has been influential in determining the content, direction and implementation of tourism policy.

We describe various misconceptions and misinterpretations concerning presentation of the hysteresis loop for ferromagnets occurring in undergraduate and college textbooks. These problems originate from our teaching a Theoretical solid state / condensed matter physics (TSSP/CMP) course. A closer look at the definition of “coercivity” reveals two distinct notions referred to as the hysteresis loop: B vs. H or M vs. H, which can be easily confused and, in fact, are confused in several textbooks. The properties of the M vs. H type hysteresis loop are often ascribed to the B vs. H type loops, giving rise to various misconceptions. An extensive survey of textbooks at first in the TSSP/CMP area and later extended into the areas of general physics, materials science and magnetism / electromagnetism has been carried out. Relevant encyclopedias and physics dictionaries have also been consulted. The survey has revealed various other substantial misconceptions and/or misinterpretations than those originally identified in the TSSP/CMP area. The results are presented here to help in clarifying the misconceptions and misinterpretations in question. The physics education aspects arising from the textbook survey are also discussed. Additionally, analysis of the CMP examination results concerning questions pertinent to the hysteresis loop is provided.

Air pollutants, including SO₂, H₂S , NO_X and TSP, were measured in Al-Hashimeya town in Zarqa Governorate, where there are three main sources contributing in different degrees to the pollution of air. These are Jordan Petroleum Refinery, Al-Hussein Thermal Power Station, and Al-samra Waste Water Treatment Plant. Data relating to pollution in Al-Hashimeya have been collected from all sources that had measured the level of pollution in this areaduring the period from 2005 to 2009 are presented. The effects of local meteorological conditions were studied by statistical analysis.
The concentration variations in air pollutants are closely related to those in local meteorological conditions. Both temperature and relative humidity have significant negative correlations, whereas wind speed has a significant positive correlation with these pollutants.

In modern engine design, to reach a more compact and optimized cooling system, exploiting nucleate boiling in thermally critical regions is required. Several studies have attempted to enhance the nucleate boiling heat transfer. This paper reviews the most important issues (i.e. surface roughness, composition of the liquid, electric field, vibration, orientation of the heated surface, surfactant addition, pressure and velocity) and their effects on nucleate boiling heat transfer.

A linear adaptive beamforming structure consists of an antenna array and a digital signal processor to adjust adaptively its weight according to the particular criterion and adaptive algorithm. There are many criteria and adaptive algorithms to minimum co-channel interference (or multi-access interference).Different Algorithms (S.Strergiopoulos, 2001& Joseph C. Liberti, et al, 1999) are employed to determine the complex weights of the signal and to produce narrow beams toward intended users and deep nulls in the direction of interference.

Children and youth today seem to have more stressor and difficulties in their everyday life especially when a parent goes to prison. Children with incarceration issues receive little attention, but the issue so widespread; concern for the well-being of the effected children has been raised. Incarceration brings long term effects to family members by increasing violence among children; impeding children to have a better picture of their life which directly and indirectly affects children’s well-being. Growing up with violence issues surrounding them is a crucial and devastating experience for the children. Using six selected domains based on the suggestion from Land and colleagues (2001), we assessed the effects of violence issues on children’s well-being with incarceration issues in Kelantan. There are four items of violence being correlate with child well-being score; bullying, disturbance, stigmatization and isolation. These were selected based on the current literature related to children violence. The relationship between children’s well-being score and violence affects were examined in 75 children aged 8 to 17 years with family incarceration issues in Kelantan. Through the findings indicated that children with a higher level of isolation, stigmatization, bullying and disturbance tend to have a low score of the child’s well-being. Children simultaneously indicated that isolation, stigmatization, bullying and disturbance always occurred and was related to their parent’s incarceration status. The negative perception they received also made the children a victim of bullying and thus more isolated.
