12 membered Schiff base macrocyclic ligands, 6,7,14,15-tetra phenyl-1,2,3,4, 4a,8a, 9,10, 11,12, 12a,16a-dodecahydro dibenzo [b,h] [1,4,7,10] tetraazacyclododecine L1, and 14 membered Schiff base macrocyclic ligands, 6,8,15,17-tetramethyl-1,2,3,4, 4a,7,9a, 10,11,12,13,13a,16,18a-tetra decahydro dibenzo[b,i] [1, 4,8,11] cyclotetradecine tetraaza L2, 7,16-bis(2,4- dichloro benz ylidene)-6,8,15,17-tetra methyl-1,2,3,4, 4a,7,9a, 10, 11,12, 13, 13a,16,18a-tetra deca hydro dibenzo [b,i] [1,4,8,11] tetra azacyclo tetra decine L3 and 6,8,15, 17-tetramethyl-1,2,3, 4,4a,9a,10, 11,12,13,13a,18a-dodecahydro dibenzo [b,i] [1,4,8, 11] tetraazacyclo tetradecine (7,16-diylidene) bis(methanylyli dene) bis (N,N-dimethylaniline) L4 were synthesized by condensation reaction between diketone and aliphatic diamines. The metal complexes of the types, [ML1Cl2], [ML2Cl2], [ML3Cl2] and [ML4Cl2] [M= Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Mn(II), Hg(II), and Fe(II)] were prepared by interaction of ligands, L1, L2, L3 and L4 with metal(II) ions. The ligands and their complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, conductivity measurements and IR, 1H and 13C NMR, UV–Vis spectral studies. The thermal stability of the complexes was also studied by TGA analyses. These studies show that all the complexes have octahedral arrangement around the metal ions. We used CB-Dock, a novel blind docking technique that aims to improve docking precision. With the aid of the cutting-edge docking program Autodock Vina, software online, molecular docking studies were used to evaluate the biological significance of the synthesized ligands and identify the probable and efficient binding mechanisms between the various ligands and the active site of the receptor protein. Affinity binding of both Ligand L3 and L4 to Penicillin binding protein 2x (chain B) with PDB 1PYY were much better than to Penicillin binding protein 2B (chain A) with PDB 1WAE due to the presence of hydrogen and halogen bonds. Therefore, they can be more recommended for drug design study to inhibit bacterial growth due their bioavailability. The biological activities of all compounds were evaluated like in-vitro antioxidant activity or percentage free radical scavenging effect via DPPH method against standard ascorbic acid and in vitro anticancer activity via MTT assay against colon cancer cell lines. Results of the biological activities showed that complex CuL3Cl2 exhibited the highest anti-cancer activity against colon cancer cell line i.e. 70.72±6.3 μg/ml among other copper complexes whereas compound CuL3Cl2 showed best antioxidant activity against ascorbic acid i.e. 75.07±1.96 μg/ml. While the biological activities showed that complex CuL4Cl2 exhibited the highest anti-cancer activity against colon cancer cell line i.e. 42.05±7.4 μg/ml among other copper complexes whereas compound CuL4Cl2 showed best antioxidant activity against ascorbic acid i.e. 65.47±1.37 μg/ml.
The research involves preparing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and studying the factors that influence the shape, sizes and distribution ratio of the prepared particles according to Turkevich method. These factors include (reaction temperature, initial heating, concentration of gold ions, concentration and quantity of added citrate, reaction time and order of reactant addition). Gold nanoparticles prepared were characterized by the following measurements: UV-Visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The average size of gold nanoparticles was formed in the range (20 -35) nm. The amount of added citrate was changed and studied. In addition, the concentration of added gold ions was changed and the calibration cur

Millions of pilgrims and visitors from numerous parts of the world flock to Karbala (one of the most prominent ideological and religious places in central Iraq) each year to visit the holy shrines in Karbala due to their sanctity. Many improvements have been made to the Two Holy Shrines (THS), the Shrines of Imam Husayn and Imam Abbas, and the area between them (ATHS), due to the high temperatures in this region and to improve pedestrian thermal comfort. Studies on improving outdoor thermal comfort in Karbala are scarce. Hence, this research aims to look into historical and current architectural changes and how they affect thermal comfort. On the hottest summer day, the ENVI-met software program was used to simulate the building des

Alginate is one of the natural biopolymers that is widely used for drug formulations, combination of alginate with other polymers, such as gum acacia, pectin, and carrageenan can increase mechanical strength, therefore, can reduce leakage of the encapsulated active pharmaceutical ingredient from the polymer matrix. Interaction of alginate and these polymers can occur via intermolecular hydrogen bonds causing synergism, which is determined from the viscosity of polymer mixture.
Alginate was combined with gum acacia/pectin/carrageenan in different blending ratios (100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100) with and without addition of CaCl2. The synergism effect is obtained from the design of experimental (DoE), and calculati

This study aims at finding out the sentimental smartness of the kindergarten children
and its relationship with some variables.
1- The level of the sentimental smartness of the kindergarten children.
2- Investigating the Zero hypothesis in that there are no significant statistical differences in
the sentimental smartness between the kindergarten children according to the sex variables
(males and females).
Some statistical tools have been used in order to arrive at the results that verify the
hypotheses of this study. The researcher uses (1) the distinctive power between two
distinctive groups; (2) the relationship between the item and the total degree (Pearson
correlation factor); and (3) Elfakronbach formula t
An attempt was made to determine the insect parasites of cockroaches in Iraq. As a result of this survey three species of Hymenoptera representing two separate families, which have been reared from ootheca of cockroaches were recovered. These were: Evania dimidiata Fabricius, Evania appendigaster (Linnaeus) (Evaniidae) and Anastatus longicornis sp. n. (Eupelmidae) which described here as a new species from Iraq.
