September 2007 ,Pages 9-18

Abstract: Abstract Windows messages are the heart of Windows operating system, since they have been used to communicate with other programs and the system. When Windows receives user events, the system sends them as messages to the programs, in order to respond to the user requests. So, the system controls other programs using these messages. When a program user attempts to intercept system messages, it gives the ability to manipulate and modify or even discard messages bound to other programs within the operating system, which offers a chance to change the behavior of these programs, and consequently control them. This research presents software to intercept some types of Windows messages sent to other running programs to either modify or discard them. Additionally, software offers an ability to monitor the active program (that have been intercepted their messages by the program researcher) as well as all messages received from the operating system. The researcher used Visual Basic 6.0 to develop the software .

Turfah Hamid (Author)
September 2007 ,Pages 40-55

Abstract: Abstract The learning and interactive programs are considered to be very useful ones, so they are easy to learn, because they are rich of data resources and may be alternative to the teacher, because the student will scarcely restricted by time, and the lesson would be open for the student in terms of time table. The interactive method has a greater impact than other, it makes the student participating with his hearing, sight and hand in reconstructing the application. In this research, a system containing enumeration and interactive learning has been adopted using Visual Basic language for the Visual Delphi language, since it is a strong development programming language that merges between the visual and OOP (Object Oriented Programming), in addition, there are little references follow this learning method. Two learning methods were used in this research: Enumeration that depends on playing a video file containing the lesson while the student listening, and the Interactive method that instruct the student to reconstruct the application by himself with sound and picture step – by - step until fulfilling the application. The lessons were divided into five branches and each of which contains 3 – 5 lessons with the interactive lessons included. .

Designing Program for Measuring Overall Equipment Effectiveness By Applying on Children Wear Factory in Mosul
Dr. Thaeir Al Samman, Riyadh AlDawoodi (Author)
September 2007 ,Pages 56-74

Abstract: Abstract The current research aims at explaining the standard of overall equipment effectiveness and the way of application. The ability of better utilization of machines and equipments through adopting (Total Productive Maintenance Program) may work for achieving a high percentage utilization of it without need to the additional investments of machines and equipments, where TPM seeks to eliminate what is called “Six Big Losses” that may co occurred in the production process (breakdowns, setup and adjustment, Idling & minor stoppages, reduced operating speed, scrap and rework, and startup losses). So, this paper is an attempt to measure the success of Total Productive Maintenance programs through modeling a standard called “Overall Equipment Effectiveness” that indicating the amount of reduction or minimizing the six big losses associated with machines and equipments. Therefore, a program on computers has been designed in order to apply the standard of “OEE”. .
