ABSTRACTNearly zero magnetostrictive glass-coated amorphous microwires are suitable materials for sensor applications. Samples with metallic core diameters below 20 [.proportional]m exhibit almost nonhysteretic BH loop, related to the existence of a domain structure with azimuthal easy axis. The magnetic behavior of these microwires is changing drastically when the metallic core diameter increases over 25 [.proportional]m, i.e. they display a bistable magnetic behavior at low fields, that is a one step magnetization reversal at a certain value of the applied field, called switching field. Results on the direct domain observation in nearly zero magnetostrictive Co68.25Fe4.5Si12.25B15 glass-coated amorphous microwires by means of Kerr microscopy are reported for the first time. The effect of glass removal on the domain structure has been also studied. AC hysteresis loop measurements have been employed to establish a correlation between domain structure and magnetic behavior.Glass-coated microwires exhibit a single domain configuration with the magnetization pointing mostly to the wire axis. The domain structure does not change qualitatively after glass removal, but the parameters of the squared hysteresis loops are modified. The remanence to saturation ratio increases after glass removal, while the switching field decreases.The obtained results are of interest for sensor applications, and show that the metallic core diameter is a dimensional factor that contributes to important changes in the domain structure and magnetization process of such microwires.

Magnetic and mechanical properties of Co-rich amorphous microwires of nominal compositions (Co1–xMnx)75Si10 B15 (0.08 < x < 0.11) and Co56.5Fe6.5Ni10B16Si11 with nearly zero magnetostriction constant have been studied. Drastic changes of the hysteresis loop with the decrease of x from rectangular to flat shape were observed at x < 0.1, while the Co56.5Fe6.5Ni10B16Si11 microwire showed rectangular hysteresis loops. Compositions with x ≥ 0.1 have small but positive magnetostriction constant while negative λs values have been observed at x ≤ 4 0.09, indicating rectangular character of the hysteresis loop in samples with nearly zero and even for small negative λs. External stress dependence of switching field, H*, showed an increase of H*; with s for samples with x = 0.11 and a decrease of H* with σ for x = 0.1. Besides, microwires of the same composition but with different dimensions showed different H*(σ) dependencies.

In this paper, we propose for the first time the synthesis of α-MoO3 nanorods in a one-step procedure at mild temperatures. By changing the growth parameters, the microstructure and controllable morphology of the resulting products can be customized. The average diameter of the as-prepared nanorods is about 200 nm. The electrochromic and capacitance properties of the synthesized products were studied. The results show that the electrochromic properties of α-MoO3 nanorods at 550 nm have 67% high transmission contrast, good cycle stability and fast response time. The MoO3 nanorods also exhibit a stable supercapacitor performance with 98.5% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles. Although current density varies sequentially, the nanostructure always exhibits a stable capacitor to maintain 100%. These results indicate the as-prepared MoO3 nanorods may be good candidates for applications in electrochromic devices and supercapacitors.

This study was for searching for Cholera Bacteria serotype which causes epidemiology Cholera in the 2007 in a fast method which contains (Rapid Visual Test) (Crystal V.C.) which was used for the first time in Iraq to diagnosis of Cholera Bacteria & compared with the traditional bacteriology method. The Cholera disease is one of the most dangerous epidemiological diseases which lead to death with a percentage of (50 – 70) % in the severe cases for untreated patients . For this purpose, 100 samples of stool from the patients from a (13) hospitals in Baghdad Governorate in the period from August to the end of December. The Cholera was diagnosis in two methods, 1st method was the fast method using the nitrocellulose which is coated with anti-body of Cholera Bacteria .The results was compared with the 2nd method which depends on the cultural characteristics of the cultural media, also the bacteria was diagnosis using the biochemical inspects by the system of API 20E in addition to the using of antisera to specify serotype& sub-serotype ( Monovalent, Polyvalent(O1) . Also, the relation between the disease & the months in the year in which the disease appear was studied. The results show the ability to isolate & identifecate (78) isolate for the serotype (01) in the fast method ( Rapid Visual Test ) ( Crystal V-C ) , & after the bacteriology inspects on these (78) isolate the all isolates were belongs for Cholera Bacteria of the serotype (01) till the sub-serotype , all the (78) isolates were belongs to the sub-serotype (Inaba). The results show, the most infection was in September (36) , & October (22).

The weather during the harvest season in Virginia can be brutal. During one of the worst heat waves in decades, with temperatures soaring above 100 degrees, we were notified about a farmworker named Juan who had died in the field. We left immediately for the camp to speak with other workers about the circumstances. The day before, the grower had been visited and warned by an official about failing to provide drinking water and cups for the workers, not the first time he had received warnings of field negligence. Even on days when water was available, access could be difficult. When the water truck would drive by, workers in the field had to quickly grab one of the vegetables they were picking, cut it in half to use as a drinking cup, and run after the water truck before it left for the adjoining field. We also learned about the implicit understanding between this man's crewleader and the workers: choosing when to take a rest on your own meant no work the following day. You would also be one step closer to being blacklisted from future employment. When Juan had finally reached his physical limit that day, he asked for some time to rest inside the bus, but it was too late. He later died at the hospital from what appeared to be the effects of heat exhaustion. It remains to be seen whether Juan's family will receive any compensation.

In this work, silica microcapsules containing phosphonium ionic liquid (IL), denoted SiO2@IL, were successfully synthesized for the first time using the one step sol-gel method in IL/H20 emulsion. The morphologies of the obtained micron-size microcapsules, including their diameter distribution, were characterized using dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The thermal behavior of these microcapsules and the mass fraction of the encapsulated IL in the silica microcapsules were determined using thermogravimetric analysis, showing an excellent thermal stability (up to 220 °C) and highlighting that an amount of 20 wt.% of IL is contained in the silica microcapsules. In a second step, SiO2@IL microcapsules (1 wt.%) were dispersed into epoxy-amine networks to provide proof of concept of the ability of such microcapsules to act as healing agents as microcracks propagate into the epoxy networks.
