Water Resources DepartmentPresenter:Shawnm M. Saleh • The Earth’s atmosphere is warming. Records show that surface temperatures have risen about 1.4oF (0.7oC) since the early twentieth century, and that about 0.9oF (0.5oC) of this increase has occurred since 1978.• It is expected to cause an increase in volume of precipitation and average runoff in high latitudes […]

by :Dr.Bakhtyar Ahmed mala7/5/2026Laser scanning is an advanced surveying technique widely used for 3D modeling, monitoring, as-built surveys, and accurate data collection. In this study, the inclination and deviation of the heritage Choli Minaret were investigated using a total station and a BLK360 laser scanner. The aim was to obtain reliable geometric data and create
Mental Spaces TheoryPresented by:Dr. Sanaa Yousif Ahmed Mental Spaces Theory (MST), developed by Gilles Fauconnier, is a cognitive framework explaining how humans construct meaning and process language by building small, interconnected mental “spaces” rather than one massive, absolute model of reality. These spaces are temporary, partial cognitive structures representing beliefs, hypothetical worlds, and contexts that

Conjunctions in EnglishPresented by:Dr. Sanaa Yousif Ahmed A conjunction is a word that links other words, phrases, or clauses together. There are three main types of conjunctions: coordinating, correlative, and subordinating. Coordinating conjunctions allow you to join words, phrases, and clauses of equal grammatical rank in a sentence. The most common coordinating conjunctions are for, and, nor, but,
