The purpose of my thesis is to prepare four new ligands (L1-L4) that have been used to prepare a series of metal complexes by reacting them with metal ions: M=(Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II) Where succinyl chloride was used as a raw material for the preparation of bi-dented ligands (L1-L4) by reacting it with potassium thiocyanate as a first step and then reacting with (2-aminobenzothiazole, Benzylamine, 4-aminoantipyrine, Sulfamethoxazole) respectively as a second step with the use of dry acetone as a solvent, the chemical formula of the four ligands prepared in succession: N1,N4-bis(benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylcarbamothioyl)succinamide (L1) N1,N4-bis(benzylcarbamothioyl)succinamide (L2) N1,N4-bis((1,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) carbamothioyl)succinamide (L3) N1,N4-bis((4-(N-(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl)sulfamoyl) phenyl) carbamo thioyl) succinamide (L4) The new ligands were identified using spectroscopic measurements that included (FT-IR spectra, UV-Vis spectra, and nuclear magnetic resonance (1H, 13CNMR) spectra, mass spectra, elemental analysis (C.H.N.S), and thermal analysis (TGA&DSC), as the results of the measurements proved to be identical to the proposed molecular formula for these ligands. A series of metal complexes for ligands was also prepared, which included seven complexes for each ligand, by adding each of the metal ions to the four ligands prepared in succession to produce the following molecular formulas: - [M2(L)Cl4] , L= L1, L2, L3, L4 (M= Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II)) The prepared complexes were diagnosed by several techniques, including the study of the infrared spectra of the prepared complexes, and when comparing those spectra with the spectra of each of the four ligands prepared in the free form, these gave clear changes, including the emergence of a new band within the fingerprint area. It was not originally present in the spectra of ligands in their free form, and this is due to the occurrence of coordination between the metal ions under study and the donor atoms, which are the oxygen atom of the (C=O) group, and the sulfur atom of the (C=S) group in the ligands. (L1-L4), while other distinct bands were obtained with clear changes in shape, intensity, and location, and this is an indication of the occurrence of a coordination process between the metal ions under study and the four prepared ligands. The percentage of metal ions in the prepared complexes was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry, where it was shown from the careful analysis of the elements the great agreement between the percentages calculated theoretically and obtained practically. The magnetic sensitivity results showed that some of the prepared metallic complexes have paramagnetic properties. The measurements of the molar conductivity of the prepared complexes dissolved in DMSO at a concentration of 1×10-3 M and at the laboratory temperature showed that they are of a non-electrolytic nature. The prepared complexes were also studied through solubility, melting point, and ultraviolet-visible techniques, and through the data of all the aforementioned techniques, structural formulas were proposed for the prepared complexes, through which it was found that the prepared ligands are bivalve chelating ligands that lead to their participation as ligand into complexes with a tetrahedral geometric shape for all metallic complexes under study. The research included a study evaluating the antioxidant activity of some selected metal complexes by studying the amount of radical scavenging of DPPH* compared to ascorbic acid as an antioxidant reference agent. The zinc complex showed higher activity than the nickel complex compared to standard ascorbic acid. The [Cu2(L1)Cl4] and [Co2(L1)Cl4] complexes were also tested as antibodies to inhibit the breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) and compared with the normal cell line (HdFn), where the copper complex showed the ability to inhibit the cancerous cell line compared with the cobalt complex. The molecular binding of ligands (L3) and (L4) was also studied, and their possibility of using them as drugs in the treatment of some diseases, where the ligand L3 showed better association with the active site of the enzyme than the ligand L4, and is expected to highest antimicrobial effect. Finally, the biological effect of the prepared ligands and some of their complexes on the growth of two types of bacteria, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, was studied using DMSO solvent, where the complexes showed greater activity than the ligands against the selected types of bacteria.
During COVID-19, wearing a mask was globally mandated in various workplaces, departments, and offices. New deep learning convolutional neural network (CNN) based classifications were proposed to increase the validation accuracy of face mask detection. This work introduces a face mask model that is able to recognize whether a person is wearing mask or not. The proposed model has two stages to detect and recognize the face mask; at the first stage, the Haar cascade detector is used to detect the face, while at the second stage, the proposed CNN model is used as a classification model that is built from scratch. The experiment was applied on masked faces (MAFA) dataset with images of 160x160 pixels size and RGB color. The model achieve

Background: Extracorporeal Shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is widely used in treating patients with ureteralstones because it is effective, safe, and noninvasive. Based on factors such as size and the location of stones,there is a significant variation in the overall stone-free rate (SFR).Aim of the study: To evaluate the effect of ureteral wall thickness (UWT), stone attenuation, the time fromfirst attack of pain till first session of ESWL and stone/ rib density on the outcome of SWL in the treatmentof upper ureteral stones (UUS).Patient and methods: A prospective study when 127 patients with radio-opaque UUS ranging from 7 to 20mm and treated by ESWL were included in this study. The effect of (stone/ 12th rib) density by KUB, ureter

In current study, the dye from flowers petals of Strelitzia reginae used for the first time to prepare natural photosensitizer for DSSC fabrication. Among five different solvents used to extract the natural dye from S. reginae flowers, the ethanol extract of anthocyanin dye revealed higher absorption spectrum of 0.757a.u. at wavelength of 454nm. A major effect of temperature was studied to increase the extraction yield. The results show that the optimal temperature was 70 °C and there was a sharp decrease of dye concentration from 0.827 at temperature of 70 °C to 0.521 at temperature of 90°C. The extract solution of flowers of S. reginae showed higher concentration in acidic media, especially at pH 4 (0.902). The

Various theories have been proposed since in last century to predict the first sighting of a new crescent moon. None of them uses the concept of machine and deep learning to process, interpret and simulate patterns hidden in databases. Many of these theories use interpolation and extrapolation techniques to identify sighting regions through such data. In this study, a pattern recognizer artificial neural network was trained to distinguish between visibility regions. Essential parameters of crescent moon sighting were collected from moon sight datasets and used to build an intelligent system of pattern recognition to predict the crescent sight conditions. The proposed ANN learned the datasets with an accuracy of more than 72% in comp

Among a collection of leafhoppers from Erbil Province in Kurdistan/Iraq, a new species of the genus Arboridia Zakhvatkin, 1946 was designated and described here as a new species to the science. The erection of this species was mainly built on the external characters included the male genitalia. Sites and dates of collections so as the host-plants were verified.
