This study involved preparation of Graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) using Hummer method and chemical method respectively. These carbon nanomaterials were used as starting material to make novel functionalize with thiocarbohydrazide (TCH) which was prepared by reacting CS2 with hydrazine to form GO or RGO- 4-amino,5-substituted 1H,1,2,4 Triazole 5(4H) thion (ASTT) ,(GOT) and( RGOT) respectively via cyclocondensation reaction. Also MnO2 nanorod was prepared to form hybridized with GOT and RGOT. A commercial multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) and functionalization with carboxylic groups' (f-MWCNT) and its nanocomposite with GOT were also prepared. All carbon nanomaterials were characterized with different techniques such as Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscope (AFM) scanning electron microscope (SEM) and elemental analysis. XRD showed presence diffraction peak at 11.95 for GO and this diffraction disappeared for RGO. Diffraction peak of crystal planes for MnO2 matched well with standard data. The diameter of MnO2 nanotubes was determined using Debye scherrer equation and found to be 11.6nm corresponding with AFM image. The AFM images proves the growth of MnO2 nanotubes from the MnO2 nano spherical shape these images are very rare in the scientific literature. The real permittivity (ε'), imaginary permittivity (ε") and a.c conductivity (S.m-1) of all nanomaterials were measured by LCR meter at frequencies ranging from 100Hz to 100 KHz. The result showed the values of the real permittivity for RGO higher than GO at all frequencies while RGOTM have lower values of real permittivity at low frequency due to presence of MnO2 nanorods which affected the accumulation of charges. The imaginary permittivity of f-MWCNT-GOT and RGO were at low frequency higher than the real values due to their high conductivity. Also imaginary permittivity of f-MWCNT-GOT nanocomposites at all frequencies higher than real which have negative values at frequencies in range 400 to 4KHz .a.c conductivity for RGO and f-MWCNT-GOT nanocomposite have higher values compared with all prepared nanomaterial, at the same time the modified WE with f-MWCNT-GOT nanocomposite show the best detection limits in comparison with other prepared modified WE. Also the prepared nanomaterials were used to study novel sensing system and develop electrochemical sensor capable of detecting some of antibiotics such as Ampicillin (AMP), Amoxilline (AMOX) which have β-lactam ring and Tetracycline (TET) which contains four hydrocarbon rings using cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique via modification of the working electrode of the SPCE with the prepared nanomaterial by deposition process. f-MWCNT-GOT/SPCE nanocomposite showed higher electrochemical reaction response and lower limit of detection. The working electrodes surfaces were studied with AFM and SEM techniques. The value of apparent heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant (ks) was determined using the value of electron transfer coefficient (α) and the result showed that f-MWCNT-GOT/SPCE showed higher (ks).
Objectives: With the advent of ongoing novel modalities toward the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)/NEU - positive malignancies, the serious side effects of chemoradiotherapy have been minimized. Hence, this study was conducted to identify the patterns of immunohistochemical expression of the promising therapeutic target (HER2/NEU) among Iraqi patients with medulloblastoma in an attempt to provide basic histological information’s that would help in future clinical researches.Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, 42 formalin - fixed paraffin - embedded tissue blocks represent cases of surgically removed medulloblastomas were retrieved from the archived materials in a specialized surgical ho

The mobile phone has become one of the most important in our days. The effects of waves from mobile base station may cause health effects on human. The aim of this work was to study the effect of radiofrequency (RF) emitted from mobile base station on the hemoglobin (Hb), packed cell (PCV), white blood cells (WBC) and liver enzymes activity including glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvie transaminase (GPT) and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP). In this study the people divided into control group who living away from mobile base station and experimental group who living near to the mobile base station. The present result found there is no significant differences (P<0.05) in the Hb and PCV, but there was a significant increases (

Quantitative computed tomography (CT) (i.e., quantitative interpretation of values derived from Hounsfield units with a suitable calibration procedure) is the modality of choice to determine BMD. The aim of the present clinical study is to determine the local bone density in dental implant recipient sites using computerized tomography. Material and method: The sample consisted of (72) Iraqi patients whom referred to Al-Kharkh General hospital, Spiral CT scan Department for bone quality and quantity assessment after one wee

Twenty bacterial isolates were identified as Staphylococcus aureus collected from wounds and catheters related infections. A capsulated S. aureus isolate was chosen after performing serum soft agar test, for this study Neutropenic mice were challenged with capsulated S. aureus ,and the effect of G-CSF with or without moxifloxacin was studied. The results indicated that the addition of G-CSF to moxifloxacin therapy have a synergistic effect in the killing of the bacteria, while when each G-CSF and moxifloxacin were used seperately have a similar effect on bacterial killing. It was found that the moxifloxacin has the same activity as G_CSF but is less costly than the latter one.

In this paper all possible regressions procedure as well as stepwise regression procedure were applied to select the best regression equation that explain the effect of human capital represented by different levels of human cadres on the productivity of the processing industries sector in Iraq by employing the data of a time series consisting of 21 years period. The statistical program SPSS was used to perform the required calculations.
