Many studies have been carried out on information technology/information systems (IT/IS) in the Western world, but little research has been conducted in the Saudi private sector. This study has been conducted to identify and examine the IT/IS evaluation processes employed in the Saudi private sector and any factors that hinder such organisations from evaluating their systems effectively. This article concentrates on the results of those interviews. Numerous studies have been conducted on the mechanisms of IT/IS evaluation techniques and the factors affecting their implementation, but there are very few studies in this field in Saudi Arabia, and they are generally sections of other main studies about IT implementation, use, and investment. This article aims to identify means of evaluating IT/IS in the private sector. 30 IT managers in private-sector companies were randomly selected from the list of top companies issued by the Council of Saudi Chambers of Commerce in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

In this article, the design of a 45.5X (numerical aperture (NA) =0.5) infinity corrected, or infinite conjugate, Schwarzschild reflective microscope objective lens is discussed. Fast Fourier transform modulation transfer function (FFT MTF= 568.4 lines/mm at 50% contrast for the on-axis field-of-view), root-mean-square wavefront error (RMS WFE= 0.024 waves at 700 nm), point spread function (PSF, Strehl ratio= 0.972), encircled energy (0.88 µm spot radius at 80% fraction of enclosed energy), optical path difference (OPD=-0.644 waves) and Seidel coefficients calculated with Zemax® are provided to show that the design is diffraction-limited and aberration-free. Furthermore, formulas expressing the relationship between the parameters of the two spherical mirrors and the Schwarzschild objective lens focal length are given. In addition, tolerance and sensitivity analysis for the Schwarzschild objective lens, two spherical mirrors indicate that tilting the concave mirror (or secondary mirror) has a higher impact on the modulation transfer function values than tilts introduced by the convex mirror (or primary mirror). Finally, the performed tolerance and sensitivity analysis on the lens design suggests that decentering any of the mirrors by the same distance has the same effect on the modulation transfer function values.

In this study, the optical performance of plastic (acrylic-polycarbonate-acrylic, acrylic-polystyrene-acrylic, PMMA-polycarbonate-PMMA, and PMMA-polystyrene-PMMA) diffraction-limited air-spaced Cooke triplet lens designs optimized for the spectral range 0.995 to 1.01 µm are presented. Comparing the acrylic-polycarbonate-acrylic air-spaced Cooke triplet lens design with the other three plastic lens designs, the obtained results indicate that the acrylic-polycarbonate-acrylic design can achieve the best image quality performance at 50% contrast 56 cycles/mm and Strehl ratio= 0.989 for the on-axis field-of-view (FOV= 0°). Furthermore, over the temperature range 18.30 to 22.25 °C and over +12° FOV the acrylic-polycarbonate-acrylic air-spaced Cooke triplet lens design performance remained diffraction-limited (Strehl ratio < 0.8). The low cost and the light weight of plastic optical components makes them attractive for several industrial applications. As an example, plastic lenses are incorporated into cell phone cameras and LED collimation optics.

Radiation patterns are produced from concentric ring arrays by using practical elements, such as dipoles and waveguides which is presented in this article. Ring arrays, which produces high sidelobes, create electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems. To overcome this problem, analysis and synthesis is carried out and generates the directional patterns of concentric ring arrays using practical radiators. The directivity is observed for concentric dipole ring arrays and concentric waveguide ring arrays is 72.21 dB. The comparative data is presented in the result.

This article presents a microcontroller-based system for measurement and monitoring voltage of a three-phase electrical system with real-time data logging abilities. The proposed system uses voltage signals and time data as input. The output is an LCD and data files. The system accurately records abnormal voltage variations which have occurred on the system. A PC software is developed to receive and save data in two spreadsheet files through a serial port. Ihe log file contains the measured voltage, which is recorded periodically with a predefined time interval, and the second file contains the type of the fault. The proposed system is first simulated by ISIS-Proteus and then realized and implemented on an electronic board. It is beneficial to make detailed, scientific judgments and analysis for the voltage system to be supplied to a load. Because of the very simple circuit, it finds applications in industrial facilities. It is also useful in applying final circuits for both investigation and monitoring purposes.

In this work, a single-stage C-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) has been constructed and characterized. Gain (G) and noise figure (NF) measurements collected for the C-band EDFA as a function of wavelength (1528.8 to 1562.3 nm) and laser pump powers are discussed. Further, the EDFA conversion efficiency (CE) as a function of laser pump powers is presented. Simplified mathematical expressions for the EDFA gain, NF, and CE are provided. The C-band EDFA signal gain remained flat in the spectral region 1539 to 1562 nm. Moreover, the C-band EDFA NF increased with wavelength and decreased with the 1480 nm laser pump powers. Additionally, the C-band EDFA maximum achieved conversion efficiency and signal gain is 22.64% at P1=19.49 mW and 22.6 dB at 1531.1 nm, respectively.
