Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpedance Behavior of Some Reactive Systems in Aprotic SolventsHossnia S. MohranAC-Impedance Spectroscopic (IS) measurements in the frequency range 10 Hz ≤ f ≤ 50 kHz for some reactive systems such as diphenylanthracene (DPA), ferrocene and anthraquinone are investigated. The experiments are carried out in pure and dry dichloromethane (CH2Cl2), acetonitrile (CH3CN) and N,N- dimethylformamide (DMF) containing tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) as supporting electrolyte. The IS diagrams of these systems are characterized … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,948 accessesView PDFCite

Malik, Ishag AdamEpidemiological patterns of malaria are widely different; such information can help programs to design interventions relevant to situation. This cohort study investigated the epidemiology of malaria in Dipaira camp, an irrigated area, in eastern Sudan during the period July 2004 to Jun 2005. At baseline, the relevant socio-demographic factors and the monthly malaria parasitological surverys were carried-out. Thirty- six (4.1%) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,967 accessesView PDFCite
