Assessment of OEE and Evaluation of a Filling Line Performance by using ARENA Simulation
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate and improve the performance of filling machines for the food manufacturing line based on discrete-event simulation. A simulation model was built to assess machines breakdowns using purely historical data provided by the operations and analyzed for the first time over a period of 28 months. The data of MTBF and MTTR have been extracted in order to replicate the existing machines, breakdown occurrences, failure, and repair distributions of machines. Further, the statistical distributions have been applied in the first model and the data were also used to calculate the components of the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) of the filling line to identify potential areas of improvement. The models were built using the Arena Simulation Package to represent and animate tools of the filling line machines with a series of elements in order to improve the display for the human interface. The simulation was validated taking into consideration the replicating of the business model in a computer system with totally risk-free and create “what if” scenarios to test strategic changes and extract results. The outcome of the simulations was the basis of OEE analysis and assessment. The operation of the B-production line is not as expected, the availability was very low compared to the target 90%, and equipment’s failure losses present 64% of total availability losses while the remaining 36% is related to production losses. A validated simulation model can be a useful tool in the maintenance decision-making process.

Numerical simulation of Heat Transfer Enhancement in A channel Flow by Rectangular Winglet Vortex Generator
A numerical simulation was performed to investigate the effects of longitudinal vortices on the heat transfer enhancement of a laminar flow in a rectangle duct mounted with rectangular winglet pair on the bottom wall. A CFD ANSYS Fluent software was used to compute the 3-D steady viscous flows with heat transfer. The effects of Reynolds number ranging from 250 to 2000, winglet heights and different attack angles of the vortex generators were studied. The comparisons of the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics for the cases with and without rectangular winglet pair were carried out using parameters such as the Nusselt number, the friction coefficient and performance evaluation criteria PEC to gauge the overall efficiency of the system. Results show that mounting rectangular winglet pair on a channel flow can significantly enhance heat transfer. The distributions of secondary flow on the cross sections are consistent with the distributions of Nu and f for different attack angles. The results show that there is a 11 - 29% increase in the Nusselt number for channels with LVGs, while the friction factor increased by 19 - 30%, causing the overall PEC to increase by 4 - 18%, for the studied range of Reynolds number. Under constant geometrical parameters, the Nu and pressure drop increased as the height of the RWP increased. The maximum heat transfer performance is obtained when the attack angle is 30° due to the maximum value of secondary flow generated by rectangular winglet pair.

Pharmacist behavior or perception towards dispensing drugs to the adolescents
The patterns of over-the-counter medication (OTC) usage among adolescents in Libya were largely understudied. The objective of this study is to determine the perception of the pharmacists in dispensing the OTC medicines to the adolescents. There were 24 pharmacists work at private pharmacies at Benghazi-Libya participate at this study. The pharmacists have answered a survey comprised of 17 questions voluntary. The response to all questionnaires collected and statistically analyzed with SPSS program (Statistical package for social science students, version 2012). This study shows that the pharmacists participate strongly in dispensing the OTC medicines to the aldolescents. This suggests that, improved knowledge of adolescents’ self-medication behaviour in this country is needed to develop public health policies and strategies to preserve their health. The pharmacists have an important role in monitoring the OTC use and preventing potential drug abuse. Pharmacists should be encouraged to screen OTC use through advanced training programmes to educate adolescents about the proper use of OTC and the hazards that might be associated with such way of OTC usage.

REVIEW PAPER ON DETERMINATION OF CURIE TEMPERATURE
In this work, we suggested several simple experiments to determine the Curie temperature using available apparatus, with concentration on use of Smartphone. The main purpose of the first practice is to use Smartphone to determine the dependence of the component x of the magnetic field produced by different magnets. The result obtained in this part confirm the dependence of the magnetic field with the distance takes the form x-3 , in total agreement with theoretical analysis. In the second practice we determined the Curie temperature of a ferromagnetic material in the form of the spiral-heating wire. With the voltage and current values for spiral wire equal to V=50.V, and I=3.2A, respectively, its surface temperature was found to be 1195 K. In the third practice where Curie temperature was determined using Smartphone magnetometer, the drawing of square magnetization(M2) of the permanent magnet at various temperatures showing that the square magnetization decreases linearly with temperature, and will approach zero when the temperature increases to the Curie temperature. In our case the measurement results and calculation show that the Curie temperature (TC.Approx) 378K. In the fourth practice where Curie temperature for ferromagnetic spheres were determined, we noticed that while the temperature of the spheres is above its Curie temperature , the spheres remains in contact with the thermocouple. When slowly falling temperature reaches TC, the sphere recovers its ferromagnetic property and jumps to the magnet. The corresponding Curie temperatures , 898K for small sphere, and 973K for larger sphere.

Stability Analysis of Western Libyan Electric Network with Connected Wind Energy
Constantly increasing demand for electricity due to growing of population and industrial development, is putting power industry on great pressure of increasing the power generation.
Increasing demand potentially causes deterioration of the environment due to the combustion of fossil fuels to meet the energy generation needs. Continuing of adding new generation capacity while keeping carbon dioxide (CO2) emission at minimum level requires extensive modifications to the existing power systems. There is great interest at present in expanding the use of distributed generation, as distributed generation (DG) units comprise renewable and non-renewable sources.
Wind energy is depending on the injected power from the wind speed, therefore, fluctuations in wind velocity can affect branch power flows, and network stability, It is widely known that transient stability also is an important aspect in designing and upgrading the electric power system, and angular stability assessment of wind power generator is one of the main issues in power system security and operation. The angular stability for the wind power generator is determined by Critical Clearing Time (CCT).
This research presents and analyze the effect of wind power on the transient fault behavior and investigated the impact of wind generation on power system performance by increasing gradually the rate of wind power penetration and changing the location of wind resources. It is necessary to estimate the maximum level of wind energy that will not affect the stability of the power system.
The power system stability analysis for Libyan Western Network is considered as a case study where the fault test is created on different busses, and determine the critical clearing time (CCT), as an index for stability.
The simulation analysis was established on the Libyan western network by ETAP software.

A Guideline of Design Criteria for Highway Rest Areas in Libya
Rest areas for highways are one of the important highway services to meet the needs, requirements, and activities of highway users and motorized vehicles. This paper discusses the problem of the weak and deteriorating infrastructure of service stations and highway rest areas linking Libyan cities. Consequently, this problem causes an increase in the number of accidents on highways because of fatigue suffered by the travellers. This paper aims to detail a guideline for designing standard highway rest areas. This effective tool will reduce the rates of serious accidents on highways in Libya and create comfortable and accessible services facilities distributed regularly on both sides of the highways. From this standpoint, this paper raises a number of questions through which it sheds light on all types, components, standards, characteristics, and services provided by the rest areas. The methodology adopted in this paper is the inductive approach to a number of strategies that have been used to develop highway rest areas in several countries around the world. It also uses the analytical method for collecting data by questioning users of the Sixty’s Rest House located on the Nalut Road, Libya, using the two types of tools, the questionnaire and the interview. This paper concludes that it is necessary to develop this type of service facility through the improvement of existing rest areas and the establishment of new rest areas. Each rest area should follow the requirements of the modern era in highway services, according to the standard guidelines for planning, distribution, and design outlined in this paper.
