Learning Organization Mechanism in E-Government Management Stage in Makassar City Government Organizational Scope
The purpose of this study is to describe the learning organization mechanism in the stages of e-
government management within the Makassar city government organization. The fact shows that most of an organization is not aware of the importance of building a learning culture (Schein, 1990). E-government has become a priority program of government agencies, both at the center and regions all over the world, who not only viewed as a project that became a trend among the government, but it leads to how to improve the accountability, this research was conducted in the city of makassar with the use of a qualitative approach to the research results, namely the Transformation of the organization is realized through the application of the mechanism of learning organization in the form of the creation of top management support, implementation of training and development of human resources competency-based, the development of feedback on all fronts as well as the provision and development of mis (Management Information System) within the framework of e-government. running an e-government utilize the information system management as a means of exchanging information and knowledge in both formal and informal by using social media, webmail, website and SMS service center
Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem-Solving Using Apiary Organizational-Based Optimization Algorithm
Flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSSP) is a complex and challenging problem that plays a crucial role in industrial and manufacturing production. FJSSP is an expansion of the standard job shop scheduling problem (JSSP). One of FJSSPâs objectives that the manufacturing system competing for is minimizing the makespan. This paper uses a new nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithm called the Apiary Organizational-Based Optimization algorithm (AOOA) to solve the FJSSP. This Algorithm simulates the organizational behavior of honeybees inside the apiary and translates their activities and vital processes during their lifecycle into phases that can solve such NP-hard problems. Two benchmark datasets, Brandimarte and Hurink, with 10 MK instances and 24 (edata, rdata, and vdata) instances respectively, were used to demonstrate the ability of AOOA to solve FJSSP. Moreover, the results of AOOA were compared with a set of state-of-the-art algorithms and statistically measured using the paired samples t-test and p-value, RPD, and group-based superiority statistical analysis to test its performance. AOOA outperformed Elitism GA, Enhanced GA, Improved GA, and MOGWO in solving all 10 MK instances and HICSA in solving 9 MK instances out of 10. Moreover, AOOA overcame CS, CS-BNG, CS-ILF, CHA, and MCA in solving 24, 12, 12, 23, and 24 instances of edata, rdata, and vdata, respectively. AOOA proved its robustness, showing promising outcomes
CFD simulation model and experimental study to implement a new flowrate formula for a rounded broad crested weir considering the end depth as control section
Weirs can be considered as the major types of flow measurement structures which are implemented along open channels to represent a controlling section to estimate the quantity of flowrate. This study depended on considered the control section at the end edge of weir and relate the depth of water at this edge (Ye) as a function of the critical depth flow (Dc). Consequently, a laboratory study was conducted for ten experiments tests of open canal flow with ten different longitudinal slopes ranged from (0 to 0.0495) in order to estimate such a relationship. The statistical regression analysis results illustrated that the relationship for (Dc with Ye) for all experiments is about 1.45831 as an average. As consequence, a new formula for predicting flowrate over weir was derived. Different statistical indexes were used to investigate the precision of the suggested formula where it appeared a very good agreement with all experimental data. A commotional fluid dynamic simulated model CFD with volume of fluid (VOF) method and (k-É) turbulent models was also applied to verify the formula using FLUENT ANSYS ver. 16. The results indicated that the CFD techniques are able to simulate the flow over the weir and satisfactory the results of the suggested formula with less than 10% percentage error for all experimental tests
Maximum intensity determination of beam waist in BBO optical nonlinear crystal using single harmonic generation
Nonlinear optics is a branch of optics that explains the nonlinear response of atoms and molecules to a field of light radiation. There is a difficulty in cutting crystals in shapes commensurate with their optical properties, and thus it was significant to determine the descriptive shape of crystal properties based on its optic properties to be ideal in use. The problem of determining the length of the crystal to give the best output power is still under study and research and is one of the most important topics. In our research, a computational method based on mathematical relationships was used to estimate the length of the BBO crystal of I-type, which gives the best output power, by manipulating the location of the optical light scattering to be in the middle of the crystal. It was found that the best length of a crystal with a width of 3mm and a height of 3mm is 7mm. the comparison of these results with the previous literatures gave a great match, which confirms the correctness of the computations and the reliability of used method

Using Recycled Construction Rubbles to Improve the Properties of Subbase
Demolished concrete structures proven to be a good source of construction materials. This paper studies the utility of using recycled construction rubbles to improve some properties of compacted subbase .Different subbase materials were produced with 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% of recycled construction rubbles aggregate as a partial replacement of natural subbase. The standard tests were conducted on the choosed maerials before and after the replacement. It is found from the test results that the recycled construction rubbles can be used significantly to improve the properties of some types of subbase. The CBR values of the subbase materials prepared with crushed concrete, recycled bricks, and ceramic rubbles as a partial replacement were better than those of natural subbase materials. The performance of subbase containing crushed concrete rubbles was better than the performance of subbase containing crushed clay bricks and ceramics. The CBR values for all subbases were greater than 45%, which is accepted as per the requirements CRB specifications in Iraq
Superluminal light group velocity in tapered optical microfibers
Superluminal light group velocity was formerly reported in anomalous dispersion, nonlinear amplification of light pulse, high-gain lasers' cavities, and waveguides. Motivated by a recent observation of light acceleration in optical microfiber [1], the possibility of attaining the light group velocity exceeds its value in vacuum is investigated. The investigation of superluminal velocity is in tapered optical microfiber that has a radius decreases with propagation axis by a factor 10-3. Our results show the possibility of attaining superluminal group velocity in this microfiber at length of about 1080”m. At this length the instantaneous acceleration of light is found to be 13Ă1019 m/s2 which its corresponding Unruh temperature is 0.527K
