A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of irrigation methods and operating pressure in water use efficiency and maize yield in the field of the collage of Agriculture / University of Baghdad in 2013. The experiment carried out by using split plot design under randomized complete block design with three replications. Three levels of operational pressures included: 30 , 50 and 70 kpa which represented main plot and Two levels of irrigation method included: subsurface and surface drip irrigation which represented sub plot using T-tape type were used in this study .Bulk density , plant height , plant yield and water use efficiency were studies. A locally made combine implement was used in this experiment for tillage and Subsurface Irrigation Tubes Instillation. The results showed that the pressure 30 kpa and surface drip irrigation was superior in getting less bulk density of soil 1.45?g . m-³, while using 70 kpa pressure and subsurface irrigation got the highest plant height 180.32 cm and highest plant yield 9.25 ton / ha and efficient use of water 1.45 kg / m ³. Accordingly using 70k pa pressure and subsurface irrigation which gave the best field indication are recommended.

Democracy needs to be clearly understood before we can appreciate the roles of the judiciary in its sustenance. It is a form of government that is responsive, responsible and guarantees to the citizens, the inalienable rights of freedom of choice, freedom of association, right to shelter, freedom from discrimination, right to clothing and unqualified respect for the rule of law. This is a form of government that connotes collective participation and despotism, tyranny and totalitarianism. On the whole, democracy according to Abraham Lincoln is the government of the people, by the people, and for the people. For effective administration of justice in a democracy, courts have definite and decisive roles to play. Courts are Government institutions that settle legal disputes and administer justice. The judiciary arm of government, resolves conflicts involving individuals, organizations, government and political parties. It also has the power to review the actions of both the executives and the legislature. Although, lack of judicial independence affects the performance of the judges in Nigeria, when it comes to judicial review and delivering justice. Nevertheless, with numerous constraints facing the institution, it manages to provide fair justice to poor people and powerless individuals. The judiciary arm of government now remains the faith of Nigerians in bringing justice to reign in Nigeria, due to its numerous landmark achievements recorded so far. This paper seeks to examine the role of judiciary in entrenching democratic values in the present day Nigeria. Our focus, however, shall be on the administration of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

The topic “Fuel subsidy removal and Nigeria economy” was selected from the verities of topic due to the inspiration the research felt forms the topic. Petroleum is the major source of income of Nigeria and it determines most of other aspect of lifes and sectors of the economy. He researcher examines how Nigerians reacted towards the fuel subsidy removal, the strikes, violent demonstrations, high cost of fuel and transportation, high cost of food items and so on. This motivated the research to carry out this research. The research tries to find out how the subsidy removal on fuel has affected the economy and the lifes of the people, he developed so theories (3) which he used to explain the topic and from the research he discovered that majority of Nigerian did not benefit from the fuel subsidy removal as it was mainly enjoyed by rich fuel importers. Also it was discovered that the removal of fuel subsidy lead to an imbalance in the economic sector as prices of goods and services rise drastically leading to protest, strikes, low standard of living in inflation. Finally, the researcher discovered that the fuel subsidy regime is very corrupt, this is because good sum of money were missing and misused and cannot be accounted for. The money gotten from the subsidy removal was supposed to be channeled into other aspect of the economy but this was not the case because there was low impact in Agricultural sector, infrastructures and provision of basic social amenities. Therefore, he discovered that if the other sectors of the economy are in a very good shape, it will go a long way in sustaining and reviving the economy and promote growth and development in Nigeria.

The study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the identified five dimensions of emotional intelligence, namely self-awareness, emotional management, self motivation, empathy, interpersonal skills and academic performance. This study aims to identify whether the five dimensions of emotional intelligence have been able to contribute to academic performance. Statistical inference of the Pearson-r and multiple regression is used to analyze the data. The results showed that the significant relationship between self awareness (r = 0.21), emotional management (r = 0.21) and empathy (r = 0.21) at the level of p <0.05 with academic performance. Findings from multiple regression analysis (stepwise) showed that only three dimensions of emotional intelligence which is self-awareness (ß = 0261), self motivation (ß =- 0182) and empathy (ß = 0167) accounted for 8.7% of variation in criterion (academic performance). Research also presented a model designed to reflect the relationship between the dimensions of emotional intelligence and academic performance. These studies imply that the level of emotional intelligence contributes to and enhances the cognitive abilities in student. Thus, in increasing student academic performance. The stability of the emotional intelligence of a student will help to produce a competent generation and successful country in line with the philosophy of education.

In this study the author studied the natural radioactive pollution in the samples water of natural spring in the governorate of Irbid due to leakage of radon gas to natural springs from the source of radon (the soil). The study started from June 20, 2015 to August 30, 2015. After 70 days the collected dosimeters were chemically etched under the conditions (30% solution of KOH at a temperature of 70 C° for 8 h).Samples of groundwater from eight springs in the governorate of Irbid were used, which were respectively from Rahoop spring, Ash Shalalah spring, Wadi Al Ruman spring, Sama Al-Rousan spring, Tabqet Fahel spring, Dhiraj spring, Al-Wadi spring, and Taqat al Ain spring. The radon concentrations were found to be 4.1 Bq/l for Rahoop spring water, 3.7 Bq/l for Ash Shalalah spring water, 3.2 Bq/l for Wadi Al Ruman spring water, 2.1 Bq/l for Sama Al-Rousan spring water, 2.6 Bq/l for Tabqet Fahel spring water, 4.9 Bq/l for Taqat al Ain spring water, 1.8 Bq/l for Al-Wadi spring water and 1.6 Bq/l for Dhiraj spring water. The average concentration of radon in the water for these springs was 3.0 Bq/l. The radon concentration in the water samples in this study was less than the allowable upper value, which is equal to (18 Bq/l), and it does not cause danger to human life

The aims of this study were to investigate the performance characteristics of a farm tractor during ploughing (chisel plough) using variable weights from (0 to 500 kg) on the rear tractor wheels, and different traveling speeds from (3.58 to 5.68 km/h). The ploughing depths were (15-20 cm), and the average moisture content was (20.15 %). The soil texture was found to be a (Silty clay). The rear tier sizes of the tractor and inflation pressure were 16.9/14-38 and 150 kPa, respectively. The study was concentrated on the rate of fuel consumption, specific energy, drawbar pull, tractor wheel slippage, tractive efficiency and field efficiency. The obtained results, for the range of tests, showed that the use of 500 kg weight on the tractor rear wheel at 3.1 km/h traveling speed produced the highest value (74.4 %) of tractive efficiency, and (in the meantime) the wheel slippage, filed efficiency, fuel consumption, required power, specific energy were 7.46 %, 80.22%, 15.11 l/h, 46.58 kW, and 43.13 kW.h/fed, respectively. In general, the traveling speed and the weight on the rear tractor wheels were the most important factors that affecting the drawbar pull and the specific energy.

The increasing viability of 3D silicon integration technology has opened new opportunities for chip architecture innovations. One direction is in the extension of 2D mesh based chip multiprocessor architecture into three Dimensions. We present an efficient architecture to optimize system performance, power consumption, and reliability of stacked mesh 3D NoC is proposed. Stacked mesh is a feasible architecture which takes advantage of the short inter-layer wiring delays, while suffering from inefficient intermediate buffers. To cope with this, an inter-layer communication mechanism is developed to enhance the buffer utilization, load balancing, and system fault-tolerance. The mechanism benefits from a congestion-aware and bus failure tolerant routing algorithm for vertical communication.
