It was obtained and used to prepare a series of new Schiff bases (5a-e) through their reaction with different substitutes of benzaldehyde. The completeness and purity of all the prepared compounds were confirmed by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and showed some physical and spectroscopic properties, namely (FT -IR 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR). In addition, the biological activity of the prepared compounds was studied, and their effectiveness against different types of bacteria such as Bacillus, Escherichia coli , and Staphylococcus aureus was discussed. Studies of mainly fungi and bacteria have shown good efficacy against the mentioned species using disc diffusion technology.","PeriodicalId":20803,"journal":{"name":"Rafidain journal of science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140358113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These approaches have been used to obtain the relationships between the electric conductivity σ( E ) and electrons diffusion coefficient D ( E ) in carbon nanostructures. This study proves that when the temperature rises the electrical conductivity σ( E ) decreases for both single-layer and bi-layer carbon nanostructures. For a wide range of temperatures, the electrical conductivity σ (E) behavior of the studied nanoparticles is nonlinearly dependent on the magnitude of the external electric field ( E ). In contrast, the electron diffusion coefficient D ( E ) is independent of temperature for both single-and bi-layers. It also shows that the intensity of an external electric field possesses a nonlinear influence on the electron diffusion coefficient.","PeriodicalId":20803,"journal":{"name":"Rafidain journal of science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140358925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Physicochemical properties of the respective soil showed pH of 4.45 and 6.5 for soils from point 1 and II respectively and higher conductivity of 613 and 1013 (Ω -1 Cm -1) , respectively when compared with the control sample. Dissolved mineral of Cl - , SO 4 , K, Ca, Mg in the respective soil samples from the petroleum spilled sites were significantly high when compared with the control experiment except for soil sample I which showed a relative low phosphate concentration of 1.23 mg/g in the presence of the control experiment, respectively. TOC and TOM contents were 87.91, 119.04; 108.13 and 146.42 mg/g for soil sample I, and III, respectively. In all the tested parameters, the experimented soils were significantly high than the control soil sample. Molecular tests (18s rDNA.) was used to identify the pure isolate of fungus as Aspergillus tamarii. Studies on effect of incubation period on the production of peroxidase from strains of Aspergillus tamarrii sp. showed that the highest peroxidase activity was obtained on the day 6 th of the fermentation time; Peroxidase activity peaked at pH 5. Protein with highest peroxidase activity was peak precipitated at 60% saturation of the salt. The gel chroـmatogram showed single almost superimposed peaks of enzyme activity. Purified peroxidase activity peaked at pH 4.5. Optimum temperature for the enzyme activity was at 50 °C. Km and V max of 3.45mM and 280 μmole/min was extrapolated from the reciprocal curve of Lineweaver-burke at various concentrations of 2,6 DMP. Fe, Ca, Co and Mn selected as their notable impact in the active site of peroxidase guided the selected were assayed in the presence of the enzymes, respectively. The stability curve obtained for the peroxidases was single biphasic which represent the first order; the enzymes maintained greater than 50% of their activity after 30 min of incubation as activity progressively decreased upto to 40% after 60 min of incubation. Thermal stability of peroxidase at its optimum temperature (50) and at 70°C showed a biphasic stability curve.

A total of 280 nasopharyngeal swabs and whole blood specimens were collected from healthy individuals and individuals suspected with CoV-2 between June 2021 and December 2021 of both sexes, categorized into four main groups: 70 healthy individuals with an age range (23-70), 210 CoV-2 patients in which their ages were between (21-75), (70 patients per mild, moderate and severe patients). According to our findings CoV-2 patients’ groups had leukocytosis, with a significant increase in WBC and Granulocytes count, and a significant decrease in Lymphocyte and platelet. In regard to inflammatory parameters, CRP, D-dimer, ferritin and PCT showed significant differences between the CoV-2 patients groups compare to the control group, these inflammatory biomarkers were significantly elevated in CoV-2 patients group compared to healthy control group (P<0.005). The optimal cut-off values for CRP, D-dimer, Ferritin, and PCT were determined by Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve Analysis in CoV-2 patients.

Mann-Kendall analysis, which is a statistical test widely used in climate series to determine the statistical significance of the monotonic trend of temperature means, showed that maximum, daily, and annual temperature means had a positive trend and were statistically significant at the significance level ( = 0.05) and a non-significant fluctuating trend in minimum daily and annual. A high increase in the annual differences with a range of (-1.47-7.25 ℃ ) between the beginning and end of the measured daily time series (1982–2020) that showed a high increase in Basra, followed by the Mosul station, with an increase of the range (5.37-1.24 ℃ ), and finally for the Baghdad station, the increase was recorded within the range (1.24-5.37 ℃ ). Overall, under the potential of global warming, the results concluded that trends of mean temperatures appeared to be in the best agreement with the extreme scenario (SSP5-8.5) compared to the scenario (SSP2-4.5) till the middle of the present century.

The behavior of PLT and RBC are identical (decrease relativity after exposure) at low dose rates of 0.1 Tesla/ hr. and high dose rates of 0.7 Tesla/ hr., and they exhibit opposite behaviors to those of WBC. The ratio of PLT and RBC reaches the high ratio for both males and females at the dose rate of 0.4 Tesla/hr. So, the best exposure dose rate for PLT, WBC, and RBC is 0.4 Tesla/hr. Because these components are radiosensitive, the reversal of the AML leukemia blood components of the incident magnetic field changes. Additionally, cancer cells experience higher levels of ionization than healthy cells. Therefore, the ratio of PLT and RBC after exposure rose at the high-dose rate (0.7 Tesla/hr.). This is so because healthy cells are also included in the damage rate. It is obvious that leukemia blood samples exhibit distinct PLT, WBC, and RBC behaviors than healthy blood samples. This is a result of the increased rate of ionizations during the radiation treatment of blood samples with leukemia. This indicates that the rates of ionization for blood samples containing leukemia and healthy blood are different. The findings are consistent with the fundamental ideas underlying the phenomenon of biological radiation interaction.","PeriodicalId":20803,"journal":{"name":"Rafidain journal of science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75932480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
