Synthesis and Anti-microbial Activities Investigation of New Mixed Ligand Complexes by Elaf A. Mousa, Basim I. Al-Abdaly

“…This study aims to synthesize new complexes, copper and nickel complexes, characterize them using spectral techniques, determine their chloride content, evaluate their anti-oxidant effect, and examine the antibacterial activity of the ligands and their complexes against gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus), gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli), and Candida albicans. All chemicals were used strictly as provided, with no additional purification; CuCl2.2H2O and Ni(CH3CO2)2 salts were used to react with melatonin (L1), and one of the amino acids (L-cysteine) (L2) in a mole ratio of 1:1:1 (M: L1:L2) to produce mixed ligand metal complexes. …”

Applying Neural Networks to Hyperspectral and Multispectral Field Data for Discrimination of Cruciferous Weeds in Winter Crops by Ana-Isabel de Castro, Montserrat Jurado-Expósito, María-Teresa Gómez-Casero, Francisca López-Granados

“…Hyperspectral and multispectral signatures of cruciferous weeds, and wheat and broad bean crops can be classified using STEPDISC analysis, and MLP and RBF neural networks with different success, being the MLP model the most accurate with 100%, or higher than 98.1%, of classification performance for all the years. Classification accuracy from hyperspectral signatures was similar to that from multispectral and spectral indices, suggesting that little advantage would be obtained by using more expensive airborne hyperspectral imagery. …”
