In the present investigation, the synthesis of copper nanoparticles from green tea was attempted and investigated for its capacity to adsorb drugs (Ciprofloxacin). The copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) were characterized by different techniques of analysis such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, atomic force microscope (AFM), blumenauer-emmer-teller (BET), fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and zeta potentials techniques. Cu-NPs lie in the mesoporous material category with a diameter in the range of 2-50 nm. The aqueous solution was investigated for the removal of ciprofloxacin (CIP) with green tea-synthesized Cu-NPs. The results showed that ciprofloxacin efficiency depends on initial pH (2.5-10), CIP (2mg/L-15mg / L) dose, temperature (20 ° C-50 ° C); time (0-180 min) and Cu-NP dose (0.1g /L-1g /L). Spherical nanoparticles with an average size of 47nm and a surface area of 1.6562m2/g were synthesized. The batch experiment showed that 92% of CIP 0.01 mg/L were removed at a maximum adsorbent dose of 0.75 g/L, pH 4, 180 min, and an initial 1:1 rate (w / w) of CIP: Cu-NPs. Kinetic adsorption models and ciprofloxacin removal mechanisms were examined. The kinetic analysis showed that adsorption is a physical adsorption system with activation energy of 0.8409 kJ.mol-1. A pseudo-first-order model is preferred for the kinetic removal after the physically diffusing process due to the low activation energy of 13.221kJ.mol-1. On the other hand, Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin isotherm models were also studied; the equilibrium data were best fitted with Langmuir and Dubinin isotherm models with maximum adsorption capacity of 5.5279, and 1.1069 mg/g, respectively. The thermodynamic values of ∆G0 were -0.0166, -0.0691, -4.1084, and -0.7014 kJ/mol at 20, 30, 40, and 50 ° C, respectively. The values of ΔH0 and ΔS0 were 18.8603 kJ/mol and 0.0652kJ/mol.k, respectively. These values showed spontaneous and endothermic sorption. The presence of the CIP concentration in aqueous media was identified by UV-analysis.
A new ligand complexes have been synthesis from reaction of metal ions of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II) with schiff base LH. 5-[(2-Hydroxy-naphthalen-1-ylmethylene)-amino]-2-phenyl-2,4-dihydro-pyrazol-3-one, this ligand was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), UV-vis, 1H, 13CNMR, and mass spectra. All complexes were characterized by techniques micro analysis C.H.N, UV-vis and FTIR spectral studies, atomic absorption, chloride content, molar conductivity measurements and magnetic susceptibility. The ligand acts as bidentate, coordination through nitrogen atom from azomethin group and deprotonated phenolic oxygen atom. The spectroscopic and analytical measurements showed that

Sami Michael and Eli Amir - two Israeli writers born in Iraq and of the same generation (Sami Makhail was born in Baghdad in 1926 and Eli Amir in 1937). They wrote in their novels, among other things, about Orientalism , love and femininity. They both lived wild, extroverted lives. They did not shy away from experiencing anything new that came their way, rebelled against conventions and acted provocatively; they enjoyed the shock and amazement that evoked around them. While trying to find their place in different family settings, they chose to present two Arab Christian heroines. The narrator in Jasmine is the speaker Noori-Eli himself. While the narrator of “Trumpet in the Wadi” is Huda the heroine herself. Both are independent and bot

The analysis was done by groups of health guide indicators. The objectives of the study were to identify the spatial variation of health services and assess the health situation for families following the environmental and administrative units of the studied area. Such objectives can be done by specifying the extent of the families’ consent to the type of services, measuring the cases of deprivation, and identifying the most deprived areas. The study has finally concluded that there is a clear spatial variation between the indicators and
