Enhanced and Proficient Soft Template Array of Polyaniline-TiO Nanocomposites Fibers Prepared Using Anionic Surfactant for Fuel Cell Hydrogen Storage.

Porous TiO-doped polyaniline and polyaniline nanocomposite fibers prepared by the in situ polymerization technique using anionic surfactant in an ice bath were studied. The prepared nanocomposites were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and XRD patterns for structural analysis. The surface morphology of the polyaniline and its nanocomposites was examined using SEM images.

Expired Antifungal Drugs as Effective Corrosion Inhibitors for Carbon Steel in 1 M HCl Solution: Practical and Theoretical Approaches.

The anticorrosion potency of two expired antifungal drugs, namely, bifonazole (BIF) and terconazole (TER), for X65 carbon steel (X65CS) in a 1.0 M HCl solution was estimated using practical and computational measurements. The results of all methods applied showed that the percentage of anticorrosive efficacy (% AE) increased for expired BIF and TER and reduced at elevated temperatures.

Increase in the detection rate of viral and parasitic enteric pathogens among Egyptian children with acute diarrhea.

Introduction: Acute diarrhea continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children from developing countries. Determination of the frequency of diarrhea in an area, along with the proportion of disease caused by specific enteric agents of different origins, is considered the first step in controlling diarrheal diseases.

Methodology: From 2005 to 2007, a hospital-based surveillance was conducted in two locations in Egypt to determine the causes of acute diarrhea in children younger than 5-years seeking treatment.
