In this research, a new comparison criterion was proposed to study properties of the audio signal for each of the varieties of smokers and non-smoking persons. For this purpose, a database for smokers has been created. The smoker database contains 12 Syrian native speakers, six of them were smokers and the others were non-smokers. The smokers had been smoking for more than 10 years. All speakers were men and their ages ranging between 35 and 42 years old. They live in rural towns and speak the same dialect. Syrian vowels can be classified into long vowels and short ones. The long vowels are /AA/, /UU/, /II/ pronounced as ([ ي, و, ا ]) and the short vowels are /A/, /U/, /I/ pronounced as ([ كسرة, ضمة, فتحة ]). In this study, the Speakers have to pronounce the following sentence /I love Syria/ pronounced as ([ أَنَاْ أَحَبُّ سُوْرِيْة ]), and it was spoken during three hours. This sentence is rich with vowels. For each speaker, a long vowel triangle in ten planes and a short vowel triangle in ten planes as well were generated and analyzed. A new criterion was suggested to determine the most suitable vowel triangle for smoker distinction. This criterion depends on calculating the different distances among all centers of vowel triangles in each plane and determining the minimal distance called d. For each plane, the most suitable vowel triangle had been set as AIU35 short vowel triangle and AAIIUU45 long vowel triangle.

Speech databases form the main foundation in the construction of automatic utterance, speaker recognition and speech recognition systems in different languages and dialects. The elements of the speech database are audio files recorded for people's voices in the required language or dialect. The more the speech database is enriched with comprehensive elements the more it contributes to produce systems that communicate with the excellent performed machine. According to the lack of speech databases for the Syrian dialects, the research did one. The created database contained sixteen voluntaries from different Syrian dialects. Voluntaries' voices were recorded in different recording conditions that is for studying the effect of variety of dialects, gender and the conditions of recording on the vowel polygons. This research invested the created speech database in the field of generating and analyzing of vowel polygons, as the vowel polygon is a geometric polygon where its vertices represent the values of formant frequencies, and the area of the polygon represents the output acoustic space.
Content Based Medical Image Retrieval (CBMIR) systems are a new technique which researchers aim to integrate with Computer Aided Diagnosis systems. These systems usually find and retrieve images from a large image-database which have a similar conten t to a query image. Retrieval is done by extracting the visual features from the query image, formulating them in a features vector, comparing features vector components with those of the images in the database, and then, similarity measures are computed. Based on the similarity measures, images which have a similar content to the query image are retrieved. The introduced analysis study surveys and analyzes the current status of the CBMIR systems, evaluates our findings from this survey, and concludes some specific research directions in this field.
Studies have proven that the indicatingpressure chart of marine engine cylinder can providemany information not only about pressure, but also about a large number of parameters that are useful in enhancing engine performance. Therefore, in this resea rch paper, we attempt to study the indicators that complete the physical image of the work cycle. This attempt uses an elaborate and comprehensive mathematical model for obtaining and using these parameters in order to form a clear image of the work cycle based on the dynamics of heat release in the cylinder, for the purposes of enhancing performance and achieving a more efficient, more economical mechanical operation. As a result we will reach a number of conclusions and recommendations which,upon being approved and used, can help to achieve with great mathematical accuracy a more optimized characteristic of the work cycle.
Most of the well-known search engines such as Google are text search engines that match the vocabulary entered only by the user and retrieve a list of results. The search engine model proposed in this thesis achieves a better solution that does not m atch the vocabulary entered by the user only, but rather matches other words that are related. With the vocabulary statements in the ontologies supporting it.
Content based 2Dcerebral digital subtraction angiography(DSA) images retrieval system has been built. The systemfinds and retrieves images fromcerebral DSA imagedatabase( Cerebral Sacular Aneurysms) which have a similar content to a query image. R etrieval is done by extracting the visual shape features of cerebral saccular aneurysms from a query image, formulating them in a feature vector, comparing feature vector components with those of the cerebralDSA images in the database. Similarity measures using Euclidian distanceare computed,based on the similarity measures, images which have a similar content to the query image are retrieved. Resolution has been calculated by finding the ratio between cerebral sacular aneurysm area in first retrieved image to cerebral sacular aneurysm area in the query image for the eight query process which have been done, average resolution was 98%. Results indicates that the designed content based image retrieval could be used to calculate unknown cerebral saccular aneurysms area from a cerebral saccular aneurysms database images whose areas are known.
