Instructors at the College of Engineering at University of Basrah, Dr. Faleh Mahdi Mousa, Dr. Donia Sattar Taher, and Dr. Ramzi Salem Ali, published a scientific research in the Electronics magazine, which is considered one of the most reputable international scientific journals with a high impact factor of IF = 2.397 in the MDPI publishing house
The research is entitled: “A new optimization algorithm based on the expansion behavior of the kingdom of fungi for antenna applications”
The research included presenting a new algorithm to calculate the optimal solutions for electrical engineering applications in general and communications engineering in particular by modeling the behavior of the spread of fungi with mathematical equations and then programming and applying it to the formation of antennas to obtain radiation patterns as desired. Also, the algorithm was successfully applied to the formation of military antennas for the purpose of completely canceling the intended interference from the hostile segments
