A simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of sulfathiazole in aqueous solution is described. The method is based on the diazotized coupling reaction of aniline with sulfathiazole drugs. A mixture of an acidic solution (hydrochloric acid) of the sulfathiazole and the chromogenic was treated with sodium nitrite and aniline to form an intense orange water-soluble dye that is stable and has a maximum absorption at 480 nm. It was observed that the method is applicable for the determination of sulfathiazole in Nicotrim, Contri, Biotran and Bactrim forte formulations. The LOD ( limit of detection) and LOQ ( limit of quantification) for the method were calculated and found to be 0.23 and 0.48 ppm respectively.

The inelastic longitudinal electron scattering form factors F(q)'s, an expression for the transition charge density are studied where the deformation in nuclear collective modes is taken into consideration besides the shell model transition density. The core polarization transition density is evaluated by adopting the shape of Tassie model together with form of the ground state two-body charge density distributions which included the effect of short range correlation(SRC). It is noticed that the core polarization effects which represent the collective modes are essential in obtaining a good agreement between the calculated inelastic longitudinal F(q)'s and those of experimental data for 20Ne and 24Mg nuclei.

Malnutrition is a general term for medical conditions caused by an improper or insufficient diet, which is essential for normal development physically and mentally especially in children being feed on low- nutrition value food other than on breast feeding.

Cryptosporidium is a protozoan parasite and important pathogen of human and other vertebrate hosts. Transmission of parasite is direct,by either the fecal- oral route or the contamination of water supplies with the resistant infective oocyst stage (oocyst). Examinations were performed on 441 stool specimens refered for screening on the basis of diarrhoea and 315 stool specimens as controls. The study was carried out during the period from September,1995 to March, 1996 in Ramadi city. Combination of Formalin-Ether concentration method with modified Acid-Fast stain were used for all specimens . From 9 (2.2% ) of 441specimens obtained from patients , Cryptosporidium Oocysts were isolated, but no parasite isolated from 315 stool specimens of control groups ( 0.00). High rate infection was among (1-21( months age groups and males recorded the highest( 5 / 226 ) (2.2 %)than females (4/215) ( 1.9%). The study includes two types of residency, then water source plays a role in the transmission of the infection .The majority of Cryptosporidium Oocysts were recovered during September ( 5.35 % ) while the minority during January( 0.00).

Fluorescence spectra of dilute solution of blockcopolymer of 2- Isopropenylnaphthalene and methacrylic acid ( 2- IPN – MA) in ethanol have been measured in temperature range of 9.5 – 50˚C . The fluorescence spectra show two emission bands at 342 nm and 387nm corresponding to monomer and excimer bands, respectively. From temperature dependent fluorescence measurements a plot of excimer to monomer intensity ratio ( IE/IM ) versus temperature was obtained , which shows that ( IE /IM ) value increases linearly in the temperature range of 9.5-25˚C and sharp increasing at a bout 35˚C ,then IE/IM increases smoothly above 35˚C . These results Indicate that the conformational change of the polymer chain from contraction form to expansion form takes place at about 35˚C.

A significant reduced specific activity of ADA was observed in the patients (0.136 U/gm vs. 0.206 U/gm ), while SOD contrasted the picture, and instead, a significant elevation of the activity was observed (11.430 U/ml vs. 8 585 U/ml )., especially in the advanced stages of disease

Based on the flow theory of rigid-plastic bodies, a method is developed for assessing the ultimate strength as well as determining the post yield behavior of uniformly loaded R.C square slabs with central square opening which have all edges restrained against rotation and lateral movement . The method takes into account the significant effects of membrane forces which are usually induced in the plane of the slab along sagging and hogging yield lines as the slab deflects. Considering equilibrium and compatibility of the deformed slab element, load-deflections relations are derived starting from the initial compressive membrane action up to tensile membrane and full-depth cracking at large deflection. The solution shows that axially restrained slabs can sustain loads far beyond those predicated by Johansen's yield line theory and the enhancement in load is greatest for thinner slabs having lighter reinforcement and smaller opening. On the basis of an estimated deflection, theoretical ultimate loads are found comparable with those of existing experimental tests. A theoretical study of the maximum yield load reveals a promising saving in reinforcement for using stronger concrete. For an interior square panel with central square opening, such saving in reinforcement could be as high as 48% if the panel is lightly loaded, and 25% for a panel under moderate loads.

This study includes investigates the electrical behavior of high density polyethylene (HDPE) having various concentrations of carbon black (C.B.) over a range of frequencies from (100Hz) to (20KHz).Experimental results display that the dielectric constant and a.c. conductivity increase with increasing C.B. concentrations in the samples which have the same thickness but different concentrations, especially in sample (90%HDPE+10%C.B.). The dielectric constant and a.c. conductivity increase with increasing of thickness of samples which have the same concentration of C.B. because the effect of the dipole moment on the sample has large thickness.

In This research studied the effect of the sludge characteristics such as settling propertiese and concentration of solids in the sludge on the flow propertiese of heterogeneous sewage sludges. The non-Newtonian (pseudoplastic ) and time-dependent (thixotropic) influence on the rheological characteristics of sewage sludge was calculated experimentally. Depending on these characteristics and during several experiments an empirical method has been developed to calculate the head losses in pressure pipes which convey these sludges under laminar flow conditions. The results showed that the torque (T) and shear stress (τ) decrease with time at constant rotational speed,and the time-independent behaviour was approached after 900sec.,where no further decrease in shear stress was observed after 900s. A relations has been plotted between the flow rate (Q) and maximum,minimum head losses by means of a design example , in addition to the head loss gradient decay along a pipeline and between Euler and Reynolds numbers

Human lymphocytes have long been used to assess the gene damage occurring in vivo as well as in vitro . In this study , peripheral blood lymphocytes from patients with prostate cancer were cultivated in vitro short-term culture in the presence of methotrexate (MTX) to investigate the possible mechanism of resistance to MTX in those cells. The results indicate that the resistance to MTX in lymphocytes from prostate cancer patients is associated with dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene amplification . Metaphase chromosome preparations from those cells were examined and were shown to contain double minute chromosomes (DMs). We conclude, that the presence of DMs may support that the resistance to MTX in prostate cancer patients may be associated with DHFR gene amplification.

A new ligand of phenyl bis-hydrazone (V) was been synthesized as a result of a reaction between phenyl-isatin hydrazone and salicyladehyde. The yellow crystals of (V) was been studied using IR, 1H.n.m.r 13C-n.m.r, UV-Vis spectrum and molar conductivity measurements. The complexes of Palladium (II), Nickel (II), Manganese (II) and Iron (III) with phenyl bis-hydrazone have been synthesized and characterized on based on molar conductivity, magnetic susceptibility data, UV-Vis and IR spectral studies. The spectral data referred to that the ligand acts as monobasis tridentate, coordinating through phenolate oxygen, azomethine nitrogen, and carbonyl oxygen of isatin moiety. On the basis on the above results an octahedral geometry has been proposed for the mentioned complexes.
