Abstract: ABSTRACT A simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of trace amounts of catecholamine drugs (dopamine, levodopa and methyldopa). The method is based on the interaction of these drugs in aqueous medium with tetrabromo-p-benzoquinone (bromanil), in the presence of borate buffer solution of pH 9 to form n- charge-transfer complexes with maximum absorbance at 350, 366 and 368 nm for methyldopa, levodopa and dopamine respectively. Beer’s law was obeyed in the range of 1-25, 0.8-30 and 1-30 g/ml with molar absorptivities 8075, 8500 and 3475 l.mol-1.cm-1 for the above drugs respectively. The accuracy (average recovery%) of method was found better than 99% and the precision (RSD) was less than 3%. The nature and stability of bromanil complexes with the above mentioned drugs were studied. The method was successfully applied for the assay of methyldopa, levodopa and dopamine in some of their pharmaceutical formulations, and the results compared favorably with British pharmacopoeia and the standard addition technique. The common excipients used additives in pharmaceutical, do not interfere with the proposed method.

Abstract: ABSTRACT In this paper the synthesis of some substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles from isobutyric acid was studied. The isobutyric acid was converted into the corresponding ethyl ester, which then treated with hydrazine hydrate in ethanol to give the acid hydrazide. The acid hydrazide was treated with substituted benzaldehyde to give the corresponding hydrazones. The synthesized hydrazones were then converted to 2-isobutyl-5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles by their reaction with PbO2. While treatment of acid hydrazide with formic acid and then with phosphorus oxychloride gave 2-isobutyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole. 2-Isobutyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-5-thiol was synthesized by the reaction of acid hydrazide with carbon disulfide in potassium hydroxide solution. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by physical and spectral means.

Abstract: ABSTACT Cephalothin & ampiclox were chosen and drug used in diabetic case (daonil), to know the effect of them alone and in combination with daonil on glucose and cholesterol levels in healthy and diabetic case. Some of rats were injected with alloxan (100 mg / kg body weight) to be diabetic and others left without injection to remain as control rats. In this research cephalothin was used 50 mg / kg body weight intramuscular once daily and lasted for 5 successive days, ampiclox was used 25 mg / kg body weight intramusculary once daily & lasted for 5 successive days & daonil was used 1 mg / kg body weight. Daonil showed reduction in the level of serum glucose in control rats, also in combination with cephalothin or ampiclox, but the combination do not increased the reduction effect of daonil, also single treatment of them did not significantly affect glucose level in these rats. Combination between cephalothin and daonil and combination between ampiclox and daonil showed reduction in glucose level in the diabetic rats, neither all of the single treatment did not show any significant effect on glucose level of diabetic rats, which mean that combination caused this reduction effect. Single treatment of daonil, ampiclox, combination between them and combination between daonil with cephalothine showed reduction in cholesterol level in diabetic rats. This study confirmed that the two antibiotics cephalothin and ampiclox have the ability to potentiate daonil blood glucose reduction effect in diabetic case and ampiclox alone and daonil alone both of them have reduction effect on blood cholesterol level in diabetic rats.

Abstract: ABSTRACT The study concerned the inhibitory effect of vinegar towards the bacteria isolated from burn infections including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus ,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Escherichia coli,Proteus mirabilis,Klebsiella oxytoca by choosing five samples of vinegar as the Iraqi apple vinegar, Iraqi date vinegar,(both from Al-Badawi trademark),home made apple and date vinegar, Jordanian apple and grape vinegar . The Acetic acid contents was estimated in each type. The results showed that all vinegar types, has high inhibitory effect against the isolated bacterial species when compared with Floumizin ointment which was used as control supremacy in its effect against most of the isolated bacterial species. Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed high sensitivity towards the various types of vinegar. More over this study included also, the effect of the Iraqi apple vinegar (Al-Badawi) in treating burns in three patients and comparing it with the Floumizin ointment. The number of bacteria in (1) gm of tissues before and after the treatment with vinegar were estimated. The results showed a reduction in the number of bacteria in the area treated with vinegar which was (8.5x108) cell/gm compared with their numbers before treatment which was (11.5x1013) cell/gm in contrary to treatment with Floumizin which was (17.5x108) cell/gm. More over this study included also, the effect of vinegar in the burned tissues and showed that it had good effect in restoring of damaged tissue layers and aids to their healing.

Abstract: ABSTRACTTwelve isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis were tested against chlorhexidine and sodium hypochlorite. Bacterial suspension was added to different concentrations of disinfectant, after (5,15,30,45) minutes samples were taken and cultured on nutrient agar, the effect of disinfectants were recorded at the time periods tested. The study showed that chlorhexidine is more active than sodium hypochlorite, where concentrations of (3 %, 2 %, 1.5%) of chlorhexidine showed an absolute activity (100%) on all isolates after (5) minutes of treatment, while only (3%) concentration of sodium hypochlorite showed that activity during the same time. The study found that the effect of disinfectant increases with the increase of concentration and treatment time. The study also indicated that Ps.aeruginosa isolates were more resistant to disinfectant in comparison with the other two species, while Pr.mirabilis isolates were more sensitive to them. الملخصاختبرت حساسیة (12) عـزلة من جراثیم Klebsiella pneumoniae , Pseudomonas aeruginosa Proteus mirabilis, لمطهریّ الکلورهکسدین وهایبوکلورات الصودیوم .أجری الاختبار من خلال إضافة المعلق الجرثومی إلى تراکیز مختلفة من المطهر، وبعد مرور (45, 30 , 15 , 5 ) دقیقة , أخذت عینات من مزیج المعاملة وزرعت على وسط الأکار المغذی ، سجل تأثیر المطهرات فی المدد الزمنیة المدروسة . تبین من الدراسة أن مطهر الکلورهکسدین أکثر فعالیة من مطهر هایبوکلورات الصودیوم إذ أعطت التراکیز (%1.5 , %2 , %3 ) من مطهر الکلورهکسدین فعالیة مطلقة (%100) على العزلات جمیعاً خلال مدة (5) دقائق من المعاملة ، فی حین کان للترکیز (%3) حسب من مطهر هایبوکلورات الصودیوم نفس الفعالیة على العزلات جمیعاً خلال المدة الزمنیة نفسها . ووجدت الدراسة أن تأثیر المطهر یزداد بازدیاد الترکیز والمدة الزمنیة للمعاملة . کما تبین أن جرثومةPs.aeruginosa أکثر مقاومةً للمطهرات مقارنةً بالنوعین الآخرین ، فی حین کانت جرثومة Pr.mirabilis أکثر حساسیةً لها .

Abstract: Abstract The present study represent the comparison of morphology and structure of the non- sensory components of the eye of two species of fresh water teleoast fishes : Chalcalburnus mossulensis , which found near the water surface , and Noemacheilus angora, which found in the water bottom and between the rocks . The Scleral structure was similar in both species in that consist of cartilages and collagen fibers. There were also common similarity in corneal components of the two species which include stratified squamous epithelium , Bowman’s membrane , collagenous stroma , Descemet’s membrane and Endothelium . The thickness of central and peripheral cornea were varied in the same cornea as well as between the two species . In both species the annular ligament (a structure composed of several rows of tightly stalked polygonal cells) in the peripheral cornea was identified which located between the stroma and Descemet’s membrane , on other hand the morphology and thickness of the annular ligament varies in the both species . The lens morphology was spherical in both species but in the N.angora larger than C.mossulensis and the stain density varies in the central and peripheral parts in both species . The choroid components were similar in both species which include choroid tapetum lucidum , argentea , several layers of melanocytes which varies in number between the two species and in the same eye , and choroid gland near the optic nerve emergency . The dimensions of iris in the C. mossulensis more longer than that of N. angora . The iris composed retinal and choroidal component and some variations noticed between the two species. There were variations in the structure and morphology of optic disc of N.angora include several papillae while that of C. mossulensis one papillae . The number and package of optic nerve folds , as emerged from the retina , varied in the both species .

Abstract: AbstractSuggested this project a filter for speech signal enhancement. While steps can be listed below : First recording speech signal from microphone. Second input signal should be divided and attached into overlapped frames. Third these frames should be identified and recognized at (Voiced Sound)frame signals and(Unvoiced Sound). By using two adaptive filter algorithms: The Least Mean Squares(LMS) algorithm and Recursive Least Squares (RLS) algorithm. Then the objective tests have been done by measuring the LMS errors between input and output signals. When the suggested filter applied to several of applied samples, the results showed the filter order has agreed influence upon filtration time, and on the square of the error signal. The tests revealed that the LMS algorithm gives good results of reducing the square of the error signal.الملخصاقترح هذا العمل مرشحا یعمل على تحسین إشارة الکلام الداخلة الیه ، اما مراحل العمل فیمکن إدراجها فیما یأتی: أولا اکتساب إشارة الکلام من لاقط الصوت، ثانیاً تقسم الإشارة الداخلة على مقاطع متداخلة، ثالثاُ تمییز هذه المقاطع إلى مقطع من نوع صوت الکلام المسموع (Voiced Sound) ومقطع من نوع صوت الکلام غیر المسموعUnvoiced Sound)). استخدمت خوارزمیتان من خوارزمیات المرشح التکیفی (Adaptive Filter)هما:خوارزمیة النهایات الصغرى للمربعات الوسطیةLMS وخوارزمیة النهایات الصغرى للمربعات التکراریة RLS تلا ذلک إجراء الاختبارات الشیئیة وذلک عن طریق قیاس الحد الأدنى لمربع الخطأ بین الإشارة الداخلة والإشارة الخارجة.وعند تطبیق المرشح المقترح على عدد من الأمثلة التطبیقیة أظهرت النتائج ان درجة ترتیب المرشح لها تأثیر کبیر فی زمن تنفیذ المرشح ، وکذلک على مربع إشارة الخطأ.أظهرت الاختبارات ان خوارزمیة LMS تعطی نتائج أفضل من خوارزمیة RLS فی التقلیل من مربع إشارة الخطأ.
