Diverse organismsuch as mammals and fishes exposure to noxious waste in the surroundings is a continuous routine and the active absorption and propagation of contaminants in humans is through the food chain. In order to determine the level of toxicity across the food chain,this research was structured to identify some biochemical alterations in the hepatic tissue of rats fed cadmium, cyanide and a mixture of cyanide and cadmium contaminated catfish diet. Fish were assigned into four groups and were exposed to both toxicants (cadmium and cyanide) in the single and combined states. Each toxicant was administered as cadmium chloride (CdCl₂) and potassium cyanide (KCN) on a dose of 0.4 mg of the toxicant/100 ml water

Determination of Optimal Temperature and pH for Radial Growth of Some
Dermatophyte Species Isolated from Leukemia Patients

The experiment was conducted in the glasshouse of Biology Dept. ,College of Education
Ibn- Al- Haitham ,University of Baghdad, during the growing season(2011), to study the
effect of sprying potassium sulphate at (0,200,400,600) ppm and cytokinin at (0,75,150)ppm
and their interactions on number of branches , protein percentage , carbohydrate percentage ,
absolute growth rate , biomass duration , relative efficiency of fertilizer and value of the
secondary productivity ,in Lentil plant cultivar(Baraka).
Results indicated that foliar sprying of potassium sulphate and cytokinin and their
interactions gave a significant effect on all vegetative growth parameters of lentil plant. the

A field trial was conducted at Abu-Ghraib research station , Baghdad , Iraq . The objectives were to study the effect of nitrogen fertilizer and planting space on the performance of rape seed. A split-plot in a randomized complete of block design with three replications were used. Five levels of nitrogen fertilizer ( 120,160,200,240,280 Kg / ha ) were assigned to main plots, where as planting space in sub-plots. The result obtained confirmed that 280,240 kg / ha nitrogen maximized seed yield 1.830 , 1.773 ton/ha, oil yield,0.843,0.824 ton/ha .Results showed that planting space 30 cm produced the highest seed yield 1.90 ton / ha and oil yield , 0.884 ton / ha . Interactions between nitrogen fertilizer and p

Charge-transfer (CT) complexes of adenine (Ade.), guanine (Gua.), xanthine (Xan.), and inosine (Ino.) as electron donors with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ), 2,3,5,6-tetrabromo-1,4-benzoquinone (Bromanil)(BA) as π – electron acceptors and iodine (Iod.) as σ – electron acceptor were studied and their electronic spectra recorded .In each case one (CT) band was observed and recorded. These spectroscopic investigations made in ethanol solvent at (20°C) temperature. The values of equilibrium constant (KCT), change in standard free energy (ΔG°), molar extinction coefficient (εCT(, absorption band energy (hνCT) of CT complexes and the association energy of the CT complexes-excited state (W) were calculated and studie

   Complexes  of  (Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+ and Hg2+)  with  the  ligand  Ethyl  cyano  (2methyl  carboxylate phenyl  azo  acetate)  (ECA)  have  been  prepared  and characterized  by FTIR, (UV-Visible), Atomic  absorption spectroscopy, Molar conductivity measurements and magnetic moments measurements. The following general formula has been suggested for  the prepared  complexes  [M(ECA)2]Cl2 where M = (Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+ ,Zn2+, Cd2+, Hg2+) and the geometry is octahedral.

A survey statistician for cholera in Iraq for 1980 and until 2003 show that cholera is endemic in Iraq and that the highest number of casualties recorded in the years 1998-1999 and increasing spread of the disease during the wars in hot climates, wet a study bacteriological used where circles selective and tests Alkouhaoah examinations serological system

       Two new halogenated azo-Schiff ligands were prepared in two steps. The first step included a condensation between 4-amino acetophenone and 2-fluoro-4-bromo aniline to give the corresponding Schiff base. In the second step, the diazonium salt of this Schiff base reacted with 2-naphthol and 4,5-diphenylimidazole to form two new azo-Schiff base derivatives as ligands; (3-((E)-(4-((E)-1-((4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl) imino)ethyl) phenyl) diazenyl) naphthalen-2-ol (HSBAN) (L1) and ((E)-N-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)-1-(4-((E)-(4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)diazenyl) phenyl) ethan-1-imine) (HSBAI) (L2), respectively. These new ligands were characterized by mass spectrometry, FT-IR, 1H NMR, UV-Visible spectroscopy and elemental microanalysi
