This current study was built on creating four electrodes based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). As the template using Cefalexin (CFX), 1-vinyl imidazole (VIZ) and vinyl acetate (VA) as monomer, and N, N-methylene bis acrylamide (MBAA) as cross-linkers and benzoyl peroxide as the initiator, two MIPs were prepared. The same composition was used in non-impressed polymers (NIPs) preparation, but without the template (Cefalexin). For the membranes preparation, numerous plasticizers, such as tri-oly phosphate (TOP) and di-octyl phthalate (DOP), were used in the PVC matrix, slop, detection limit, lifetime, and linearity range of CFX-MIPs electrodes are characteristics studied. To describe the created MIP, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to study the properties of the electrodes, the slope, the detection limit, and the life time and linearity range. The effect of PH and interference on the efficiency of the electrode MIP was also investigated. The study has shown that the molecularly imprinted electrodes have high sensitivity and responsiveness to cefalaxin. The DPV value was linearly dependence on the aspirin concentration and a linear curve was obtained within the range of (1×10−1 - 5×10-4) M of cefalaxin with correlation coefficients are about (0.9941, 0.9899, 0.9936 and 0.9837) with slops value of (-18.48, -18.84, -18.60 and -19.47) and the detection limit for all electrodes ranging from (6×10-1-9×10-1) M.In the selectivity measurements results that we obtained there's no interaction with the cefalexin drug on interfering cations (K+, Ca+2, Al+3) and certain pharmaceutical additives such as methylparaben, propylparaben and trisodium citrate. The preparation electrodes have been shown good response including testing pharmaceutical analysis.The strategy employed is easy and fast. CFX membranes also have a short reaction speed, excellent mechanical stability, are removable and quick to create.
Bacteriocin is an important antimicrobial peptide that can be used in industrial and medical fields due to its characteristics of antibacterial, food preservation and anticancer activities. Fifty isolates of Bacillus sp were collected from different soil samples which were already recognized via morphological and biochemical identification process. The isolates were screened for bacteriocin production effective against Staphylococcus spp in order to select the highest producing isolate. The isolate NK16 showed the maximum bacteriocin production (80 AU/ml) which was further characterized as Bacillus subtilis NK 16 through using API identification system (API 20E and API 50CHB). Then, next step was to detect the optimal conditions for maximum

Treatment of greywater can range from uncomplicated coarse filtration to advanced biological treatment. This article presents a simple design of a small scale greywater treatment plant, which is a series of physical and natural processes including screening, aeration, sedimentation, and filtration using granular activated carbon filter and differentiates its performance with sand filter. The performance of these units with the dual filter media of (activated carbon with sand) in treatment of greywater from Iraqi house in Baghdad city during 2019 and that collected from several points including washbasins, kitchen si

The aim of this study is to investigate the pull-out tests to check the interfacial strength of the polymer composite in two cases, with activation NiTinol wire and without activation. In this study, shape memory alloy NiTinol wire 2 mm diameter and linear fully annealed straight shape were used. The study involved experimental and finite element analysis and eventually comparison between them. This pull-out test is considered a substantial test because its results have a relation with behavior of smart composite materials. The pull-out test was carried out by a u
