Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel s-triazine based aryl/heteroaryl entities: Design, rationale and comparative study
Publication date: Available online 7 October 2014 Source:Journal of the Association of Arab Universities for Basic and Applied Sciences Author(s): Nirali S. Mewada , Dhruvin R. Shah , Harshad P. Lakum , Kishor H. Chikhalia The urgent need in search of new biological entities to fight back with recent drug-resistant microbial flora, has led us report a library of s-triazine derivatives. The intermediate 4-((4-chloro-6-methoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)amino)benzonitrile 3 was substituted with various thiophenol, phenol, aniline and piperazine/piperidine/morpholine moieties to furnish the final 35 target compounds i.e. (4aâ...

Some new modifications of Kibria’s and Dorugade’s methods: An application to Turkish GDP data
Publication date: Available online 7 October 2014 Source:Journal of the Association of Arab Universities for Basic and Applied Sciences Author(s): Adnan Karaibrahimoğlu , Yasin Asar , Aşır Genç In multiple linear regression analysis, multicollinearity is an important problem. Ridge regression is one of the most commonly used methods to overcome this problem. There are many proposed ridge parameters in the literature. In this paper, we propose some new modifications to choose the ridge parameter. A Monte Carlo simulation is used to evaluate parameters. Also, biases of the estimators are considered. The mean squar...

C10H18N2Na2O10 inhibition and adsorption mechanism on concrete steel-reinforcement corrosion in corrosive environments
Publication date: Available online 7 October 2014 Source:Journal of the Association of Arab Universities for Basic and Applied Sciences Author(s): Joshua Olusegun Okeniyi C10H18N2Na2O10 (ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid disodium salt) inhibition and adsorption mechanism on the corrosion of steel-reinforcement corrosion in concrete immersed in corrosive environments were investigated in this paper. For this, seven different concentrations ranging from 0% to 0.667% C10H18N2Na2O10 per weight of cement were admixed in steel-reinforced concretes immersed in saline and in acidic sulphate test-media and these were monitored ...

Transformation of cadmium hydroxide to cadmium oxide thin films synthesized by SILAR deposition process: Role of varying deposition cycles
Publication date: Available online 27 October 2014 Source:Journal of the Association of Arab Universities for Basic and Applied Sciences Author(s): A.C. Nwanya , Cosmas Chigbo , S.C. Ezugwu , R.U. Osuji , Maaza Malik , F.I. Ezema Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) was used to deposit nanocrystalline cadmium oxide (CdO) thin films on microscopic glass substrates for various cycles (40–120). This is based on alternate dipping of the substrate in CdCl2 solution made alkaline (pH ∼12) with NaOH, rinsing with distilled water, followed by air treatment with air dryer and annealing at 300°C for ...
