Mapping generative AI governance readiness in Kurdistan Region universities

Abstract Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping higher education by challenging established ideas of plagiarism, authorship, academic integrity, assessment, disclosure, digital literacy, and institutional responsibility. Many universities already have plagiarism...

Enhancing Asphaltene Degradation Through the Piezocatalysis Process Using Cadmium Tin Oxides Rod-Like and Cubic-Like Ceramic Nanostructures

The study focused on achieving high rates of asphaltene degradation by controlling the morphology and composition of the cadmium tin oxide (CTO) piezocatalyst. A new, fast, and clean method for asphaltene degradation was employed using the piezo-catalytic process. The performance...

Radiogenic heat production as an indicator for geothermal energy exploration in Kurdistan Region, Iraq

The apportionment of naturally occurring radionuclides ( 238 U, 232 Th, and 40 K) within granite samples supplies essential data related to heat generation and thermal properties of the crust. Radiogenic heat production (RHP) was estimated in this work for granite rocks gathered...

Behavior and shear strength of FRC beams with FRP bars: state-of-the-art review, comparative analysis, experimental and numerical validations

Abstract The present study provides an integrated approach to the shear behavior and strength prediction of FRC beams reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP). For this purpose, a database consisting of 68 beam test results in the literature for the assessment of 10 existin...
