Abstract The permittivities and dielectric losses of 2-Piperedone, -Caprolactam, 2-Azacyclooctanone and 2-Azacyclononanone have been studied in chloroform solutions. They have been measured using Q meter at frequency range 150KHz to 15MHz.Both 2-Piperedone and -Caprolactam solutions were studied at concentration range 0.05 to 0.25M and over temperatures range of -10 to 45 and. The dielectric studies of 2-Azacyclooctanone solutions cover a concentration range 0.05 to 0.125M and over temperature range of -10 to 45, while that of 2-Azacyclononanone solutions were studied at concentration range 0.01 to 0.075M and over temperature range of -10 to 45. The permittivities at higher concentrated solutions up to 1.5M of 2-Pipere-done, -Caprolactam and 2-Azacyclononanone were also measured at 2MHz using dipole meter DM01 over the temperature rang -10 to 45.The static permittivities for the four systems were discussed as the affect concentration, temperature and the number of CH2 group in the cyclic amides. All show normal behaviour except that the CH2 does not show clear affect. Single relaxation process were observed for the studied compound in the chloroform solutions ( =10-9 sec). All cases, the presence of a relaxation process was established at frequencies higher than used here. These relaxation processes were discussed in terms of their relation to concentration and the number of CH2 group. The dielectric activation energies were calculated using Eyring equation. The obtained values were discussed also in terms of concentration affect. A dependence of on concentration was observed. The dipole moments for the four studied compounds in solutions were evaluated using of Cole-Cole a semicircle plots, which considered to be associated with the relaxation process and other dipole moments were evaluated using =. This was assigned as an apparent dipole moment. All these dipole moments were discussed in terms of concentration and temperature affect. The obtained dipole moments in all studied case were much larger than those expected for planer dimers association. So they assigned to the presence of dimers and trimer or tetramers association in the studied solutions.Kirkwood correlation factor for the studied systems were calculated and discussed as a function of concentration. All values of g are less than unity and were assigned to a cyclic association form.

Abstract Mixed chromium oxides with some divalent metals such as Fe, Co, Ni, Zn,Cd and Hg were prepared by two ways:- Coprecipitation of carbonates of the intended metals then calcination of the precipitates. Calcination of ground mixtures of oxy salts that are easilydecomposable.The produced mixed oxides were characterized using X- ray diffraction and the results were matched with those of A.S.T.M (Americation society of testing materials) and agreement was observed with the patterns of the intended compounds. The particle size was calculated from the profile of the diffraction peaks. Thermal behavior (TGA and DTA) was investigated and the thermodynamics and kinetics factors were calculated. The D.C. electrical conductivity was measured at room temperature and higher temperatures from where the activation energy of conduction was calculated. The materials prepared proved to behave as semiconductors in the investigated range of temperature.

The ever-increasing demand for natural products and biotechnology, derived from bees and ultramodernization of various analytical devices, has facilitated the rational and planned development of biotechnology products with a focus on human health to treat chronic and neglected diseases. This study aimed to prepare, characterize and examine the stability and evaluation of the antioxidant and the antibacterial activity of Libyan propolis. Propolis Nanoparticles PNP were prepared using particle size reduction, then Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) at a magnification of X 25000, was used for accurate evaluation of the size distribution of NPs. Three different concentration (10, 5, 2.5 mg/ml) of propolis and nano-propolis powder were tested for their 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity. The quantitative antioxidant activity test results using UV Spectrophotometer absorbance at 517 nm. The antibacterial activities of propolis and prepared nano propolis at different concentrations (10, 5 and 2.5mg/ml) were tested on bacterial strain, Klebsiella, human mouth, skin, and surface bacteria using cup cut diffusion method. The findings exhibited that the prepared propolis Nanoparticles (PNPs) were generally non-spherical with a size 100-200 nm. The PNP was a nano-sized particle around 316 nm in diameter. Zeta potential of PNP showed a negative surface charge value (− 48 mV) which was sufficiently high to avoid NPs aggregation. This value represents a stable and dispersed suspension of NPs and disables the tendency of aggregations in a short in period of time. Poly dispersity index (PdI) of synthetized PNP was used as a measurement of the size distribution. PdI values for PrNP were generally uniform with PdI 0.3 indicating monodispersity of the prepared systems. The propolis and PNPs displayed good antioxidant activity with inhibition percentage (77%, 46% and 18%) for propolis and (82%, 66% and 37%) for PNPs. Propolis nanoparticles showed to have more antibacterial effect compared to propolis. Libyan propolis nanoparticles has shown to be potential candidates as antioxidant and antibacterial agent.
