Abstract: ABSTRACT The electrical behaviour of mixed ligand complex of Fe(II) in different percentage of binary mixture of methanol and water at different temperatures can give information about ion-ion and ion-solvent interaction in solution so the limiting molar conductance , KA the association constant and (R) the main distance between ions in solution as a results of those interaction can be calculated. Thermodynamics parameters (H, G, S) of the association processes and the coulombic forces which play an important role in the association process also have been studied, Walden product also calculated for solvent composition which indicate the tendency of the association of the ions in different percentages.
Abstract: ABSTRACT Metal complexes of general formula [M(L)2Cl2] and [Cr(L)2Cl2]Cl {where M is Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) and L (2,3- Bis (N-hexylimino) butane) is a Schiff base formed by condensation of 2,3-butanedione and hexylamine}, have been prepared (in 1:2 metal: ligand molar ratio). The complexes were characterized by analytical, spectral, magnetic and conductance measurements. IR spectra show that the nitrogen of the azomethine groups takes part in coordination. Magnetic measurements and electronic spectral studies suggest an octahedral structure for all complexes. Conductance measurements show a non electrolytic nature of the complexes, with the exception of the [Cr(L)2Cl2]Cl compound with a 1:1 electrolytic nature.
Abstract: ABSTRACT A simple spectrophotometric method for the determination of cephadroxil in aqueous solution is developed. The method is based on the coupling of cephadroxil with diazotised sulphanilic acid reagent in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The yellow azo-dye formed is water– soluble, stable, and shows maximum absorption at 445 nm. Beer’s law is obeyed over the range 10–240 mg/25 ml (0.4 –9.6 ppm) with a molar absorptivity of 1.73´104 l.mol-1cm-1, Sandell’s sensitivity index of 0.0210 mg/cm2, a relative error of –0.42 to +2.22 % and a relative standard deviation of ± 1.7 to ± 2.4 %, depending on the concentration level. The composition of the yellow azo-dye has been evaluated. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the determination of cephadroxil in various pharmaceutical preparations.

Abstract: Abstract Two proteinous compounds (I and II) had been isolated by gel filtration chromatography of the precipitate produced by full saturation of the aqueous extract of the Aloe vera. The apparent molecular weights by gel filtration chromatography of the isolated compounds (I and II) were in the range of (63095,19952) Dalton respectively. The effect of the aqueous extract and the proteinous fractions on glucose and cholesterol levels in normal mice were investigated. Glucose level was lowered by intraperitoneally administration of the concentrated aqueous extract and the low molecular weight proteinous compound (II) by (41.77% and 36.71%) respectively in normal mice. Furthermore, there was non significant reduction in the cholesterol levels by intraperitoneally administration of high molecular weight proteinous compound (Peak I) by (19.98%) in normal mice. Also there was non significant reduction in the glucose levels by orally administration of (40 mg/10 ml) of low molecular weight proteinous compound (Peak II) by (15.56%).

The structure of all synthesized compounds were confirmed by physical and spectral data.
Abstract: ABSTRACT A simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of noradrenaline was developed. The method is based on the proton transfer reaction with alizarin red sulphonate (ARS) in aqueous neutral solution to form violet product showing maximum absorbance at 530 nm with molar absorptivity of 6720 l.mol-1.cm-1. The method follows Beer’s law over the concentration range (0.5-10) g.ml-1. The accuracy (average recovery) of the method is 100.29% and the precision (RSD) of the method is less than 1%. The method was successfully applied for the determination of noradrenaline in pharmaceutical formulation as injection and the results were in good agreement with the standard addition procedure.

Abstract: ABSTRACT The catalyst was prepared from red bentonite ore after the removal of unreactive materials toward catalysis (carbonate and bicarbonate). This catalyst was used in the catalytic treatment of naphtha from (Baba) Kirkuk . The naphtha was passed to the reactor in the vapour phase and treated at (450, 500 and 550)° C at constant rate. The hydrocarbon composition for the treated naphtha samples were studied by determining the amount of n-paraffins, aromatics and olefinics. Moreover additional measurments of refractive index and density were determined. The chemical structure of n-paraffins were analysed using gas chromatography (GC) depending on the (UOP) standard methods (UOP-690). Olefinic content was also determined using standard American method ASTM-D1492. The paraffins amount increasd up to (48.913%) in the treated naphtha, compared with (39.4065%) in the untreated naphtha. Aromatic hydrocarbons reached up to (22.5773%), compared with 11.8843 % in the untreated naphtha, with the amount of naphthenic to 28.5097 % in the treated naphtha compared with 48.7092 % in the untreated naphtha . The amount of olefinic hydrocarbons increased up to 2.5 % at (550)°C compared with (0.0 %) in the untreated naphtha.
Abstract: ABSTRACT Cytosine deaminase (EC.3.5.4.1) activity and properties was determined in the extract of the free living ciliata Tetrahymena pyriformis grown in proteose peptone medium. The optimum conditions for the enzyme activity was also determined and it was found that the highest activity was obtained from the reaction mixture containing 300 M of Tris-HCl buffer at pH 7.2 containing 3 μM of cytosine as a substrate and a concentration of enzyme extract equal to 250 g at 35C for 10 min. Under the optimum conditions, the specific activity was found to be 42.23±2.3 M of cytosine deaminated per min per mg protein in the supernatant of Tetrahymena pyriformis extracts compared with 20.08 ± 1.0 M of cytosine deaminated per min per mg protein.
Abstract: SUMMARY In this study, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhimurium were isolated and identified from patients suffering from food poisoning, (250) samples showed positive bacterial growth (96.1%). After the biochemical tests were done, (60) isolates (41.4%) showed Staph. aureus and (85) isolates (58.6%) showed S. typhimurium. After detecting the inhibitors effect of plant extracts and active components on the bacteria under study, the aqueous, ethanolic, chloroform and acetone extracts of Slippery elm bark have also good inhibitory effects against Staph. aureus while then benzene extract is not effective. The aqueous, ethanolic and acetone extracts have clearly inhibitory effects on S. typhimurium. The isolated phenolic acid compounds from Slippery elm have highly inhibitory effect against Staph. aureus while they are less effective against S. typhimurium. The eucalyptus leaves extracts and the isolated essential oils showed to be good inhibitors against Staph. aureus while S. typhimurium is not affected. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of plant extracts under study and the separated active components were also identified. In addition, the antibiotic sensitivity of both types of bacteria with the presence of the active components was also tested. The results showed that active components have synergistic effect against Staph. aureus but antagonistic effect against S. typhimurium.
Abstract: ABSTRACT The biological study was conducted at the University of Mosul, College of Education, Department of Biology. To aims at identifying effects of environmental pollution in the seven sites at Nineveh (Al-Rahmanyah,Al-Rashidiyah, Yarmejah, Hamam Al-Alil, Al-Nimrud, Al-Qayarah and Sinjar) in concentrations of heavy accumulated metals,(Pb,Cd,Ni,Co) in the parts that are eaten from leguminosae plants. The study results showed that pods of leguminosae plants in different sites contained heavy metals with different concentrations within the normal levels of toxicity: cobalt (0.53-1.36), nickel(0.1-5), cadmium (5-30), lead (30-300)ppm. the concentration of cadmium was over than (0.1)ppm., which applied by (WHO).
Abstract: ABSTRACT Rhizobium leguminosarum bv.viciae was isolated and identified from root nodules of Vicia faba L. plant. Its susceptibility to 14 types of -lactam antibiotics was tested by disk diffusion method. The isolate was resistant to the following antibiotics; Amoxicillin, Carbencillin, Cephalexin, Cephradine, Cefuroxime, Cefotaxime, Ceftazidime, Cefixime, Ceftizoxime, Cefepime, and Aztreonam, while it was sensitive to only three antibiotics including; Imipenem, Cefoperazone and Ceftriaxone. The occurrence of multiple drug resistance in a soil bacterium, that is not a pathogen, suggests that chemotherapeutic use of antibiotics is not required for the development of multiple drug resistance. This may considers as a defense line to protect plant roots from pathogenic soil microorganisms.

Abstract: This study investigates the immune system response to infection with secondary hydatid cysts in BALB/c mice activated with lipopolysaccharide, extracted from Escherichia coli, and infected with protoscoleces of Echinococcus granulosus. The pathological changes occurred in the mice activated with LPS, were followed in comparison with the control group (mice infected with protoscoleces without activation with LPS) along the five months peroid of experiments , depending on certain criteria including changes in the means of total and differential count of WBCs. Results of the study revealed an increase in the rates of total count of WBCs, represented by an increase in the number of lymphocytes, decrease in the number of neutrophils and variation in the number of monocytes, in activated mice compared with the control group. In general, results of the present work provide another evidence that the lipopolysaccharide has modulated the immune defense of the host against infection with secondary hydatid cysts. Therefore, We support our previous findings that this lipopolysaccharide may well possess an immunomodulating activity in mice against infection with unilocular hydatid disease.

Abstract: ABSTRACT The results of this study revealed significat inhibitory effect of the aqueous extracts of the seeds of the buckwheat, Fagopyrum esculentum and the fenugreek, Trigonella foenum-graecum on the viability of the protoscleces of Echinococcus granulosus in concentrations of 25 mg/ml, 50 mg/ml, and 75 mg/ml in the periods of 15, 30, and 45, minutes in vitro. Herein, the concentration of 75 mg/ml of the buckwheat inhibited the viability of the protoscoleces completetly in a period of 45 minutes.In general, the effect of the extracts of both seeds increased proportionally with the increase in concetration and the increase in the period of exposure, By the sametoken, the effect of the buckwheat was higher than that of the fenugreek on the viability of the protoscoleces of E. granulosus in vitro.
Abstract: ABSTRACT In order to find a universal empirical relationship among the absolute efficiency of a photopeak, the energy of gamma ray and the distance from the source to the detector face, we used a modern gamma-ray spectroscopy called (SPECTECH UCS-20) with a scintillation detector, NaI(Tl), of dimensions 3.8cm(diameter)×2.5cm(thick). The system is connected to a personal computer with a program installed for this purpose. The absolute efficiency have been found using standard radioactive sources (Na-22, Mn-54, Co-60, Cd-109, Eu-152) in the energy range (88-1408) keV and a distance (1.25-10.25)cm. A fit to the figure of measured absolute efficiency with distance was applied, and we have found that the best fit is the power fit. Also we found the best equation to calculate the two constants, in the power fit equations .Thus we have combined the absolute efficiency, energy, and distance in one universal empirical equation. The experimental results have been compared with those calculated by the universal empirical equation and a good correspondence has been found between them .Further, we find detector efficiency of standard sample from (KCl) putted in touch to the detector surface, this efficiency can be used to calculate the concentration of (40k) in different situations.
Abstract: Abstract Rodriguez conjecture ensures the automatic continuity of a dense range homomorphism from a complete normed nonassociative algebra into another one with zero strong radical. Rodriguez conjecture still unsolved. But there is an affirmative answer of Rodriguez conjecture presented by Rodriguez himself in [7] for particular type of nonassociative algebras called power-associative algebra. Also the authors in [11] gived an approximate solution of Rodriguez conjecture by putting a condition on multiplication algebra of a domain of such homomorphism. In this work, we give another partial solution of Rodriguez conjecture as follows: If A and B are complete normed nonassociative algebras and if is a dense range homomorphism from A into B such that B simple with identity and multiplication algebra of B is also simple. Then is continuous.
