Abstract: Abstract Two sensitive spectrophotometric methods are proposed for the determination of salbutamol in pure form and pharmaceutical preparations. The methods are based on the oxidation of salbutamol drug with Fe(III) in acidic medium. The liberated Fe(II) reacts with 1,10-phenanthroline in method A and the ferroin complex is colorimetrically measured at 510 nm against reagent blank. Method B is based on the reaction of the liberated Fe(II) with 2,2'-bipyridyl to form a stable coloured complex with maximum absorption at 520 nm against reagent blank. Beer's law was obeyed in the concentration range of 0.15-6.00 µg/ml and 0.25-8.00µg/ml with molar absorptivity of 7.858×104 and 4.555×104 l.mol-1.cm-1 for method A and B respectively. The mean percent recoveries are 100.39% and 99.11% for both methods respectively. The suggested procedures could be used for the determination of salbutamol in pure and dosage forms without interference from common excipients. The proposed methods are successfully compared with the official and other spectrophotometric methods.
Abstract: Abstract Administration of chlorpromazine at ( 50 mg / kg / day ) orally for a period of 21 days resulted in a significant increase in chick blood plasma and RBC acetyl cholinesterase activity by 43 % and 63% respectively , where as only a slight and non significant increase was observed when diazepam was given at ( 30 mg / kg / day ) orally in comparison with control group . However once The drugs were been discontinued, the enzyme activity returned to pretreatment level in about 11-16 days in group received chlorpromazine, suggesting that the drugs effect is reversible.

The study also included determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (M.I.C) for the aqueous, alcoholic and organic extracts and some of the effective components of the tea . The detection of the inhibitory effect for the separated Tannin in the growth of the EPEC In vivo, using the Illeal rabbit loop test showed that the Tanin has an inhibitory effect in the EPEC through the measurement of the dilatation indicator which was showed to be : (0.38) and in comparison with the other dilatation indicator measurement.
Abstract: Abstract The study concerned with determination of some properties of cytosine deaminase activity in serum and erythrocytes haemolysate in normal human individuals, by spectral method. The study also included the determination of optimum conditions for enzyme activity and the normal values of specific enzyme activity. It included also, measuring the values of specific enzyme activity for cases of serum patients covering: patients with Leukemia Diabetes, and Thalassemia. Moreover, the present study determined the specific activity of cytidine deaminase in serum and erythrocytes haemolysate using the same optimum conditions for cytosine deaminase in normal individuals and cases of Diabetes . The result of the study showed that maximum activity of cytosine deaminase in serum and erythrocytes hemolysate was obtained using (250 µM) and (150 µM) of buffer solution (Tris-HCl) for serum and erythrocytes respectively at pH(7.5) and (3 µM) cytosine as a substrate as well as (100 µL) and (50 µL) for serum and erythrocytes respectively as a source of enzyme for (2 min.) at (30 ºC) . The results of the study also showed that the enzyme was active towards the substrate 5-Methyl cytosine, while in active towards Deoxy cytidine mono phosphate and cytidine triphophate. Also the presence of some metal salts such as MgCl2, CoCl2, HgCl2, KCl, CuCl2 in the reaction solution led to inhibited of the enzyme inhibited the activity. The analysis also indicated the non-existence of any significant difference of values of cytosine deaminase activity in Diabetic, Leukemia and normal individuals. However, the enzyme activity was higher in Thalassemia patients by (1.5) folds than in normal cases. Finally, the statistical results of cytidine deaminase showed that a significant difference between normal and Diabetes.

Abstract: Abstract Characteristics of direct modulation of semiconductor laser microwave frequency were studied using the spectrum analyzer. The study showed the frequency distortion was greatly affected by the index of modulation, the laser diode temperature and the modulating frequency. The results indicated that the increase of distortion with frequency was found to be as (0.84 dB/MHz). On the other hand, the dependence of distortion on the index of modulation (m) showed that (m≤ 0.5) in order to keep the distortion as low as possible and a linear operation of laser diode.
Abstract: Abstract This article presents the use of image processing technique to study the effect of injection current on the optical power distribution and laser spot cross-section (profile) of semiconductor laser type (AlGaInP). The arranged optical system specially designed to this purpose had taken the 2-dimension picture of the laser spot at various values of injection current range (0.7Ith-1.2Ith). The images were then analyzed and performed using the computer software package (Matlab Version, 7) in order to get the 3-dimension photograph of the laser spot. This spot will translate the power distribution with color grade. Furthermore we found that intensity of the central mode and FWHM at different values of injection current. By using this technique we can observ beam profile and optical power distribution for laser beam immediately from different angles (4). Including this research analysis of efficiency of laser beam usage on the base of geometrical consideration. It has shown that the losses of laser energy in some types of material processing technologies can reach as high as level of ( > 52% ).
Abstract: ABSTRACT In this paper we study the existence and approximation of the solutions for some systems of nonlinear integro-differential equations with having retarded arguments and boundary conditions.

Abstract: ABSETRACT Shewhart control chart is used to control the quality of a process of a variable in a specific stage, if the chart is frequently constructed under different stages, we suggested to construct a pooled control charts, the aim of the pooling is to compare the path of the observations in the different stages. Whenever more than one variable affect the studied phenomena, we suggested to construct the quality control chart by using the discriminant function. The characters of the suggested methods were mentioned and applied study was discussed.
Abstract: Abstract Measures of nine variables affect the births of the premature babies have been taken . And also the principal axis method was used then the factor analysis on the studied variables data to specify the importance of these variables to births of the premature babies . As well as , "Varimax" method was used to rotate the axis to get an easier and more specific results. Statistic analyses, have shown the importance off all variables except the fifth variable (sex) ,and that for not showing ,this variable,any significant effect upon any of the selected factors having less communality among the variables . For the other variables , they are the sequence of factors and the variables loading with factors and the ratio of what explain each factor from the total variance ,we find that the third variable " mother age "and the seventh variable"Number of Births" and the eightth variable" number of abortion cases "and the ninth variable "type of birth" in first place .And the first variable "premature weight" and the second variable "premature age" in second place. Finally , the forth variable " the time that the premature has spent in The nursemaid " and the sixth variable " type of disease" in third place.
