In light of increasing demand for energy consumption due to life complexity and its requirements, which reflected on architecture in type and size, Environmental challenges have emerged in the need to reduce emissions and power consumption within the construction sector. Which urged designers to improve the environmental performance of buildings by adopting new design approaches, Invest digital technology to facilitate design decision-making, in short time, effort and cost. Which doesn’t stop at the limits of acceptable efficiency, but extends to the level of (the highest performance), which doesn’t provide by traditional approaches that adopted by researchers and local institutions in their studies and architectural practices, limits to assumption of prototypes and their design characteristics to evaluate and select the efficient ones. Without comprehensive coverage to variables range and design possibilities with points of balance between the conflicting influence on performance. Forcing them to shorten, round up and exclude many (values and determinants) to avoid consequent of extra time and effort and the additional costs for performance assessment methods. All due to the cognitive weakness in adopt modern approaches, which become easier for designers to learning and apply. Highlighting (Performance-Based Parametric Design), which achieves this level of performance and avoided all the negative aspects of traditional approaches. Although this approach has been applied in several architecture trends, however, this research will focus on (climate performance and energy consumption). Highlighting a research problem, “lack of cognitive clearness about the nature of adopting parametric approach for performance-based design in order to achieve more efficient designs”. The research will focus on local housing patterns as a simplified model for applying the parametric approach, So the research goal will be “Highlighting and unveiling the nature of the parametric approach and its mechanism in performance-Based Design, to create and optimize design characteristics, towards most efficient designs within the local housing styles”. To achieve this goal was to build a hypothesis “The mechanism of parametric approach Managed to address a conflict influence of design characteristics in building’s thermal and light performance, such as (dimensions, locations orientation of building spaces and windows to wall area ratio). To reach a balancing point between them, for maximum reduction in cooling energy consumption in the summer, while keeping a comfortable level of natural lighting.” The research adopted an applied method to Revealed the parametric design mechanism To represent these characteristics as (parameters) to process and test them within three sequential process, (modeling, simulation and optimization), combined in one digital tool, uses algorithm to select the effective characteristics, that matching the resulted performance with specific criteria determined by the designer. The approach optimizes characteristics of three local housing pattern (Detached, Attached, and courtyard), within local environment, in order to achieve optimal efficient design. Ending with a set of conclusions about the importance and necessity of adopting this new approach within local architectural and environmental practices and studies.
A lower extracellular pH is one of the few well-documented physiological differences between tumour and normal tissues. On the other hand, elevated glutathione (GSH) level has been detected in many tumours compared with healthy surrounding tissues. The compound II: 3-(9H-purin-6-yl-thio) carbonothionyl methyl-8-oxo-7-(2-thiophen-2-yl) acetamido-5-thia-1-azabicyclo-4-octo-ene-carboxylic acid was a cephalothin derivative contain 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP). Compound II react with general base catalysis in slightly acidic pH or with sulfhydryl nucleophiles to release the chemotherapeutic drug 6-MP. The generation of compound II was accomplished following multistep reaction procedures. The structure of compound II and its intermediate was confir

After the discovery of the human genetic map, scientific experiments and research related to the human gene increased, negative applications of genetic engineering in particular that violate essential human rights, the right to human dignity to be specific. These practices represent actual challenges to the existence and diversity of current and future generations. Therefore, the presence of legal rules at the domestic and global levels is an absolute necessity to prohibit these threats and determine civil and criminal accountability for those who infringe any laws related to this issue.
Orphenadrine is an anticholinergic ,antimuscarinic , centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant .It presents in the form of citrate and HCl salts which are used in treatment of the symptoms of mild Parkinson's disease and also it is used as adjuvant with other drugs in the therapy .
Many trials were made to formulate Orphenadrine citrate as a plain tablet using wet granulation or direct compression technique in order to get a satisfactory formula through studying the effect of various factors such as binders , diluents and disintegrants types .
The best formula was obtained by using Poly Vinyl Pyrolidine (PVP) as a binder also the results indicated that starch and mannitol

Microparticles offer a solution for such issue as they are one of sustained release preparations that achieve slow release of drug over an extended period of time. The objectives of this study were to fabricate nystatin-loaded chitosan microparticles with the ultimate goal of prolonging drug release and to analyze the influence of polymer concentration on various properties of microparticles. Microparticles were prepared by chemical cross-linking method using glutaraldehyde as cross-linking agent. Five formulas, namely N1C1, N1C2,

The synthesis of zeolite NaX from locally available kaolin has been studied. The operating conditions for zeolite NaX production from kaolin with good crystallinity were as follows; a gel formation step of metakaolin in alkaline medium in presence of additional silica to crystallize the zeolite was achieved at 60 oC for 1 hr,and with stirring. In ageing step of the reactants at room temperature for 5 days and crystallization step at 87±2 oC for 24 hr. The catalytic activity of catalyst prepared from local kaolin was studied by using cumene cracking as a model for catalytic cracking and compared with standard HY zeolite and HX zeolite catalysts. The activity test was carried out in a laboratory continuous flow unit with fixed bed re
