Coumarin derivatives have shown different biological activities, such as antifungal, antibacterial   antiinflammatory, and antioxidant activities, besides antibiotic resistance modulating effects, and anti-HIV, hepatoprotective, and antitumor effect. So, new coumarin derivatives (hydrazones and an amide) were synthesized through multisteps reactions. All the synthesized target compounds were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, 1HNMR analysis. The compounds then evaluated for their anti-bacterial activity by means of well-diffusion method against two gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae) and two gram-negative bacteria  (E.coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The highest activity was demonstrate by compound k2 which found to be highly active against pseudomonas aeruginosa.

To create a novel series of aryl propionic acid with better antimicrobial properties, new Ibuprofen (2-(4-isobutylphenyl) propionic acid) hydrazone was prepared from the reaction of Ibuprofen ethyl ester and hydrazine hydrate in the presences of different aromatic aldehyde. Anti -microbial activity was tested for all compounds against gram positive (S. pyrogen, S.aureus), gram negative (E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae) bacterial strains and fungal strains (candida albicans). Compound (3f) display the highest anti-bacterial activity against gram positive bacteria while compound (3e) display highest anti-bacterial activity against gram negative one, the compound (2b) showed highest anti-fungal activity compare with the other prepared compound. All the final compounds were characterized by FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Keywords: Ibuprofen, hydrazine hydrate, anti-microbial activity.

A new series of schiff base and aminothiadiazole derivatives of N- substituted phthalimide (I-VI) were synthesized. In this work, the intermediate 4-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)benzaldehyde compound (I), was formed by reaction of 4-amino benzaldehyde with phthalic anhydride in glacial acetic acid(GAA). A series of Schiff bases (IV-VI) was prepared by the reaction of benzidine with compound (I) in ethanol and presence of GAA as a catalyst to form compound (IV) which react with compound (I) and p-nitro benzyldehyde to give compound (V) and (VI) respectively. A new phthalimide thiosemi-carbazone derivative (ll) was prepared by reaction of compound (l) with thiosemi-carbazide HCl in the presence of equimolar amount of sodium acetate. Finally, a new phthalimide containing (1,3,4- thiadiazole ring) compound (III) was formed by bromine mediated “oxidative intramolecular cyclization” of compound (I) in the presence of sodium acetate. All of the final target compounds' structures were successfully synthesized and confirmed using analytical and spectroscopic data. These compounds were identified and confirmed by melting points, TLC, FT IR, and 1H NMR. While the antimicrobial effect of the new derivatives has been assessed in vitro against G-positive, G-negative bacteria and fungi activity. All screened compounds exhibited no activity against G-positive bacteria (Staph. Aureus, and Bacillus subtilis). Many of synthesized compounds displayed moderate effect against “G-negative bacteria Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumonia and against Candida tropicalis”. While the best antifungal activity was obtained from compound I which has high activity against Candida tropicalis.

In this work, novel compounds of hydrazones derived from (2,4-dinitrophenyl) hydrazine were synthesized. Benzamides derivatives and sulfonamides derivatives were prepared from p-amino benzaldehyde. Then these compounds were condensed with (2,4-dinitrophenyl) hydrazine through Imine bond formation to give hydrazones compounds. The compounds were characterized using FT-IR (IR Affinity-1) spectrometer, and 1HNMR analyses. The majority of the compounds have a moderate antimicrobial activity against “Gram-positive bacteria staphylococcus Aureus, and staphylococcus epidermidis, Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae, and fungi species Candida albicans” using concentrations of 250 µg\ml.

This paper presents a computational methodology to monitor and diagnose electrical faults in large machines, like turbogenerators. To accommodate monitoring requirements, a mathematical model for the turbogenerator is derived based on the magnetic coupled approach. The turbogenerator stator and rotor currents were the guides in fault diagnosis. Digital Signal Processing techniques were applied for current feature detection and recognition. Results obtained show that such approach of condition monitoring initiates necessary alarms to the operator, as the faults develops, which may help in preventing catastrophic failures of the turbogenerators.
