A free space technique is invoked to characterize the electromagnetic properties of different types of cement: Mortar only, mortar with welded wired meshes (BRC) for concrete reinforcement (Concrete), and cement immersed with PVC tubes at the Ku-band from 12 GHz to 18 GHz. The base mixture of the prepared samples is based on cement, sand, and water, as a binding agent, to be as mortar. The measurement setup consists of highly focused transmitting and receiving horn antennas that are connected, respectively, to port 1 and port 2 of the Professional Network Analyzer (Agilent PNA 8720). The samples are inserted between the two antennas to measure, S11 and S12, the S-parameters. Using Agilent’s open ended coaxial probe, the dielectric constant and loss factor are measured at different locations. A Finite Element Method (FEM) based on the formulations of High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) is conducted to validate the measured results. The measured dielectric constant and loss factor are assigned in the HFSS simulations. Good agreements are obtained for the simulated and measured S-parameters within relative errors less than 1% and 2%, respectively.

The adsorption removal is one of the techniques used for the treatment of industrial wastewater. In this research the principle of treatment consists on the removal of Ni (II) ion from wastewater. The elimination of this pollutant was done by using commercial hydrogel as adsorbent removal. Batch method removal at different temperature (5 – 25 oC) and different contact time (1 – 48 hr) applied to reach the equilibrium conditions for Ni(II) ion removal. The removal of Ni (II) ion improved by changing the pH, contact time, initial concentration and temperature. The residual (remained) Ni (II) ion was determined by using the Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). The highest removal of Ni (II) ion was obtained at equilibrium with 24 hr and pH of 6.3. Maximum removal capacity was found to be 135.6 mg Ni (II) ion per g hydrogel bead. Pseudo – first – order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm were best fits for Ni (II) ion. All thermodynamic parameters were evaluated, ΔHads was found to be 13.13 KJ/ mole

Toxoplasmosis is one of the causative agents in women abortion and congenital deformity outcomes. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a glycoprotein elevated in some carcinoma cases. The obejective of this study was to evaluate AFP as a marker for toxoplasmosis and screening test for a subsequence development of abnormalities. Ninty six blood samples from 15-46 yeas old aborted Iraqi women with Toxoplasmosis were collected and included in this study. The results of investigations were compared with those for 79 apparently healthy volunteers (control group) with no previous abortion. This study reveals that there is a highly significant increment in seropositivity rate of toxoplasma-specific IgM antibodies (67 cases; 69.8%), and Alpha-fetoprotein (72 cases; 75%) in sera of infected aborted women in comparison to healthy controls (P= 0.032). The current results showed that there was highly significant elevation in the levels of AFP (129.23±16.76) as well as Toxoplasma gondii-specific IgM antibodies (1.294±0.559 Ng/ mL) in comparison with control group (10.65±5.2 and 0.43±0.2 Ng / mL for AFP and Toxoplasma gondii-specific IgM antibodies, respectively) (P=0.001 for both). Moreover, in spite of its highly significant efficiency in comparison with control group (P=0.001), application of ROC test for AFP evaluation showed that the values of the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for AFP were 75%, 73.4% and 74.23%, at an optimum concentration of 10 Ng/ mL. Regarding the Toxoplasma-specific IgM antibodies, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy values were 100%, 69%, and 83.49%, respectively at optimum concentration of 1 Ng/ mL (P= 0.001). In view of the above results, it could be concluded that α-fetoprotein may be beneficial for screening congenital abnormalities and abortion during toxoplasmosis; while anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgM is considered the best and golden standard test for detection of toxoplasmosis.

The absorption and fluorescence spectra have been studied and measured for Acriflavine (AF) solution which dissolved in polar solvents as a function of concentration and solvent at excitation wavelength (λex= 414nm) . The quantum yield (Фfm ) , the Radiative fluorescence lifetime (τFM ) , rate parameter of Radiative (KFM) and non-Radiative processes (KIM) are be calculated . Where the quantum yield be found equal to (Фfm =0.84) and ( Фfm = 0.83) for Acriflavine (AF) solution dissolved in N-N-dimethyl formamide (Dmf) and dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO)at concentration (1x10-5M ) , respectively. But the quantum yield of Acriflavine (AF) in water is equal to ( Фfm = 0.81) at same concentration . This different in the values of quantum yield refers to the effect of polarity and to the intermolecular charge transfer phenomena (ICT) between the amine group and the aromatic ring , since when the polarity of solvent increasing leads to decreasing in the intensity of the fluorescence spectra , also a shift of fluorescence spectrum occurs towards the longer wavelength (redshift) , and this lead to decrease the quantum yield value . The quantum yield measurement was calculated relative to standard compound of Rhodamine B with quantum efficiency (qFM = 0.97) at same excitation wavelength (λex= 414nm) . The all furthermore measurements are be performed at room temperature .
