Abstract: β-Thalassemia is hereditary blood disorders characterized by reduced synthesis of the beta chains of hemoglobin resulting to microcytic hypochromic anemia. Hypocholesterolemia is reported in recent studies in other countries. We estimated the level of triglyceride (T.G.), total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (H.D.L) and low density lipoprotein (L.D.L) for seventy three patients with β-Thalassemia major(TM), (42 male and 31 female) and twenty patients with β-Thalassemia intermedia (TI)............

Abstract: The metal composition of five architectural and two automotive coatings were determined and the coatings exposed to outdoor conditions for 500h so as to monitor their tensile strength (TS). Young's modulus (YM) and elongation at break (EB) as well as gel content and density. The results showed that the mechanical properties are largely affected by total metal concentration of each coating. The coatings that had relatively high concentration of total metal content, gel content and density generally had greater mechanical properties. Significantly, for both types of coatings, the post-exposure mechanical properties were generally greater than the pre-exposure values. The mechanical properties generally ranked as RBG>CRG>CRB>UZR=UZB and for the automotives, CAY >CAG particularly after exposure largely in agreement with the order of initial total metal concentration.

Keywords: Tensile strength, Young's modulus, elongation at break, metal composition, gel content, density.

The study revealed the ranged values of the following parameters for groundnut oil and palm oil respectively: Iodine value (29.25 ± 0.09 – 29.99 ± 0.48 g I2/g; 26.40 ± 0.54 – 30.87 ± 0.21 g I2/g), Saponification value (184.04 ± 5.00 – 194.48 ± 3.33 mg KOH/g; 182.62 ± 3.65 – 195.61 ± 0.56 mg KOH/g), Acid value (0.39 ± 0.08 – 0.86 ± 0.91 mg KOH/g; 0.16 ± 0.02 – 0.60 ± 0.02 mg KOH/g) and Peroxide value (1.87 ± 0.12 – 3.20 ± 0.28 meq/kg; 1.60 ± 0.10 – 4.00 ± 0.57 meq/kg). Mineral oils were absent in all the samples and no rancidity was observed in all the samples. The results show that most of the brands of commonly consumed oils have acceptable values as compared to the standard values of NAFDAC and CODEX.

Abstract: Photo catalysis of organic compounds in water is receiving attention due to the severe ecological impact of various industrial and agricultural pollutants. Photo catalytic activities can be classified into homogeneous or heterogeneous reactions depending on the nature of their reactants and materials (semiconductors). Particularly, heterogeneous photo catalytic study using semiconductor materials such as TiO2 and ZnO, through particulate systems, has become an exciting and rapidly growing area of research in the last few years mainly due to the relatively simple photodecomposition of organic pollutant molecules into less harmful compounds The iron and power plant industries consume significant amount of water during the power generation and finishing operations.........

Abstract: Manganese is one of the major heavy metal pollutant found in water and wastewater. It is commonly used in non-ferrous alloys, steel making and chemical industries. It causes retardation in growth, eye blindness, fever, muscular fatigue etc. Chitosan was used as a sorbent for the present investigation. The sorption of Manganese (II) on chitosan has been found to be dependent on contact time, concentration, temperature, and pH of the solution. The adsorbents were evaluated for the adsorption capacity using Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption model. The process of removal follows first order kinetics and absorption of heat. The study indicated that due to chemical composition, structure, more adsorption sites, cheap, availability in plenty etc. this substance proves to be efficient adsorbent

Abstract: New sulfur and nitrogen containing heterocycles with monoterpenic skeleton were prepared starting from the corresponding monoterpenic thiosemicarbazones. Chloroacetic acid or ethyl bromoacetate were used to have 2-substituted thiazolidin-4-ones beside indazole 8 resulting from pulegone thiosemicarbazone rearrangement in both acidic or basic media. The structures of the newly obtained compounds were confirmed by analytical mass and NMR spectra, as well as DFT calculations. All synthesized compounds were tested against fungi (Aspergillus fumigatus), yeast (Candida albicans), gram-negative (Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and gram-positive bacteria.............

Abstract: The present study deals with a simple synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles by using sodium dodecyl sulphate as a structure directing agent. The sample was calcined at 550oC and it was characterized by FTIR, TGA, SEM and TGA techniques. The characterization results indicated that the prepared nanoparticles were in anatase crystalline form and particle size was approximately 50 nm. The prepared nanoparticles were used as a catalyst for photodegradation of acetophenone. Several reaction parameters were studied to optimize the reaction conditions. The results revealed that as prepared TiO2 is an efficient catalyst for the decomposition of acetophenone. The degradation process follows a pseudo second order kinetic model.

Abstract: A potentially pentadentate Schiff base ligand H3L and their binuclear copper complexes have been prepared by the condensation of 2,6-diformyl-4-methyl phenol and 2-aminophenol in the molar ratio 1:2. The Schiff base, H3L, ligand with N2O3 pentadentate sites and can coordinate with two copper ions to form binuclear complexes after the deprotonation of the hydrogen atoms of the phenolic groups in all complexes. The ligand and the complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, UV-Vis and ESR spectral studies. All the complexes are non-electrolyte in DMF due to their low molar conductance value. UV-Visible and ESR spectral data proposed the square planar geometry for all Cu(II) complexes under investigation.................
