Due to the benefic results of using decision making, it has become a very important discipline in different field of life. Decision making had demonstrated its efficiency in different fields such as medicine by improving the health and clinical care of individuals and assisting with health policy development, or politics by predicting election results .It had also showed its importance in other important fields such as logistics, and manufacturing. Among different existing multiple criteria decision making methods, there is the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution, Measuring Attractiveness by a Categorical Based Evaluation Technique and Analytic hierarchy process. In our case study we will evaluate multiple criteria decision making method in a manufacturing environment. Scheduling and planning manufacturing orders is one the case of use of a multiple criteria decision making method. Therefore, in this paper we will study the use of the Analytic Hierarchy Process in an aircraft manufactory especially in scheduling and planning. The study aims to compare number of manufacturing order scheduled before and after the use of the multiple criteria decision making. In the study we will apply analytic hierarchy process to get priority order of scheduling constraint with the help of two manufacturing expert.

Android has now been considered one of the top most platforms for mobile app development. It has gained remarkable popularity across the globe in the field of mobile applications. The key reason behind this popularity is the convenience offered by this platform to design stylish and wonderful utility applications. Since mobile devices have become more and more powerful and distributive, mobile computing has greatly changed our daily life. As one of the most popular mobile operating systems, Android provides the tools and API for Android developer to develop Android applications. In this work the aims is to build an Android application on the phone to help students for knowing their absences were easily and quickly using the android language (eclipse-IDE) where the application has been linked to database (MySQL) by using (json language) and send it to database as json object to add and receive information and comparing whether the student has absence or not. We will create a Web Service in PHP, read from the MySQL database, and let the Android connect with the Web Service and send data, and the Web Service will save it and another Web Service will read data from MySQL and send it to the Android app. This paper propse an new program for student attendances.

Simple Transformer (SiTra) is a model transformation framework that is not just simple to use, but can carry out complex transformations. SiTra was initially intended to be a "way in" for the qualified programmer, to be able to use the conception of model transformation. The fundamental idea of SiTra is to put less attention to the specification language, maintenance and documentation features of transformation, by concentrating on the implementation of transformations. SiTra uses Java language for the specification of transformations. This eases the requirement to learn a new specification language or get to grips with a new tool and development environment. SiTra is prepared with a sturdy transformation engine to execute the transformation behind the scenes. This paper reports on a case study involving transformations from e-Kanban business process which is a particular vendor-managed inventory scheme that is based on the Kanban system for managing materials flow in a manufacturing facility which is based on the Ontology Web Language to Business Process Execution Language (BPEL), also to increase the retrieved information from e-Kanban, let the SiTra support on Scheme of Document Retrieval method.

A parabolic antenna is an antenna that uses a parabolic reflector, a curved surface with the cross-sectional shape of a parabola, to direct the radio waves. The most common form is shaped like a dish and is popularly called a dish antenna or parabolic dish. The main advantage of a parabolic antenna is that it is highly directive; it functions similarly to a searchlight or flashlight reflector to direct the radio waves in a narrow beam, or receive radio waves from one particular direction only. Parabolic antennas have some of the highest gains, that is they can produce the narrowest beam width angles, of any antenna type. In order to achieve narrow beamwidths, the parabolic reflector must be much larger than the wavelengthof the radio waves used, so parabolic antennas are used in the high frequency part of the radio spectrum, at UHF and microwave (SHF) frequencies, at which wavelengths are small enough that conveniently sized dishes can be used.
Parabolic antennas are used as high-gain antennas for point-to-point communication, in applications such as microwave relay links that carry telephone and television signals between nearby cities, wireless WAN/LAN links for data communications, satellite and spacecraft communication antennas, and radio telescopes. Their other large use is in radar antennas, which need to emit a narrow beam of radio waves to locate objects like ships and airplanes. With the advent of home satellite television dishes, parabolic antennas have become a ubiquitous feature of the modern landscape. This paper deals with applying an electronic technique to control the dimensions of the parabolic reflector .The control of the parabolic reflector diameter leads to the control of the antenna gain .The proposed design is based on implementing a microcontroller connected to an interface to control four stepper motors.

A Brevibacterium casei previously isolated from treated tannery effluent in our laboratory was selected in this study. The bacterium was tolerant to a maximum of 850 mg/L Cr(VI) and 1000 mg/L PCP concentration and concomitantly reduced 69% Cr(VI) and degraded 72% PCP within 168 h at pH 7.5 and 35°C temperature under shaking condition (120 rpm). The bacterial cells immobilized on different matrices (agar, agarose and calcium alginate) showed that calcium alginate was found to be the best support material as the immobilized bacterial biomass was capable to reduce 74% Cr(VI) and simultaneously degraded 80% PCP within 168 h at pH 7.5 and 35°C with 120 rpm aeration at an initial concentration of 850 mg/L Cr(VI) and 1000 mg/L PCP. Further, the efficiency of simultaneous Cr(VI) and PCP bioremediation in the treated tannery effluent was higher in bioreactor trials by using calcium alginate immobilized Brevibacterium casei cells. A significant decrease in the physicochemical properties of raw treated tannery effluent such as color, odor, pH, electrical conductivity, total solids, suspended solids, dissolved solids, BOD, COD, As(III), Fe(II) and Ni(II) was also obtained after treatment with calcium alginate immobilized Brevibacterium casei. Moreover, the immobilized cells has potency to almost 60% remove the PCP and Cr(VI) of the effluent within 24 h. This bacterial strain could be an efficient tool for the bioremediation of Cr(VI) and PCP co-contaminated sites and has a potential application in environmental restoration.

Steel is the most important engineering alloy but lots of money is used far more than for any other material to protect it from corrosion. The most important corrosion problem to contend with in all quarters worldwide is rusting of structural steel works. Steel frames that are properly protected will last infinitely but the best protection practices are not always used, so unavoidably allowing large tonnages of steel to rust away every single day with attendant effects. A steel structural design must therefore include reliable corrosion protection strategy that is strictly followed; otherwise an unpredictable failure or impaired service performance of the structure is prone to occur. This paper revisits the general approaches that have been in use to combat corrosion of steel in their relative pros, and cons. The assessment concludes that, the best steel corrosion prevention strategy for every characterized natural or comparable environment has to involve a practicable painting or organic coating system. The aim of the paper is to provide readily public-available information that can be consulted and used, and enable appreciation of need for more positive researches or rethinking in protection of steelworks.
