T- Tc ? 18570 K The results above the critical temperature Tc were analyzed by the mode coupling theory The anomaly of shear viscosity was detected as a function of temperature and concentration A least square fit near the critical temperature yields a value of noncritical part of shear viscosity ?0 = 0358 cP The Debye momentum cutoff qD and the constant A in the mode coupling approach were determined Our values of ?0 and A are in good agreement with the literature values An-Najah University Journal for Research - Natural Sciences A ISSN: 1727-2114 Volume 16 Issue 2 2002 Pages:

Hornowskis theoretical modification of the critical amplitude the experimental ??crit?u?2AT values from mode-coupling theory of a binary liquid mixture aniline cyclohexane have been compared with the theoretical expressions given by Fixman Kawasaki Mistura and Chaban The experimental data at low reduced frequencies ? has been found to agree well with the Hornowskis model of AT However for the large values of reduced frequency ? 10 the mode-coupling theory of Shiwa and Kawasaki still exhibits poor agreement with the observed data mainly due to the form of scaling function The correlation length ?0 has been calculated by using ?0 the critical amplitude of the characteristic relaxation rate which gives the best fitting to the theoretical critical amplitude The adiabatic coupling constant g and the diffusion coefficient D0 have been obtained using Hornowskis expression of the critical amplitude An-Najah University Journal for Research - Natural Sciences A ISSN: 1727-2114

a general study of noise pollution in the city of Nablus in Palestine The equivalent noise level values L-eq were measured and tabulated for 50 locations spread over the area of the city The obtained result of noise level of the 50 L-eq values is in average 680 dBA It has been found that the L-eq values for 58 of the selected locations are exceeding 650 dBA This result is obviously higher than the adopted international standards Accordingly the area of Nablus is considered an unacceptable living area Hence its buildings streets and factories require severe reconstruction and modification plans In addition there should be adequate updated plans for setting up community noise surveys and ordinanceshttp://blogs.najah.edu/staff/emp_2160/article/Measurement-of-noise-pollution-in-the-community-of-ArrabaPublished ArticlesThe problem of noise has been studied in the region of Arraba in Palestine as an example of the country side regions which are expected to be acceptable as a residential area The equivalent noise level values L-eq were measured and tabulated for 20 locations spread over the area of the town The average noise level from the 20 locations was 670 dBA It has been found that the L-eq values for 60 of the selected locations are exceeding 650 dBA This result is obviously higher than the adopted international standards Accordingly the area of Arraba town is considered an unacceptable living area Hence its buildings streets and factories require reconstruction and modification plans In addition there should be adequate updated plans for setting up community noise surveys and

ultrasonic absorption and velocity measurements for the system perfluoromethylcyclohexane-carbon tetrachloride are presented In addition viscosity measurements were made Ultrasonic absorption at 5 7 10 15 21 and 25 MHz above critical temperature Tc is analyzed using the dynamic scaling theory of Ferrell and Bhattacharjee The values of f2 vs f106 show a good agreement with the theory The

Fhttp://blogs.najah.edu/staff/emp_2160/article/A-Fifth-order-Multiperturbation-Derivation-of-the-Energy-Coefficients-of-Polyatomic-MoleculesPublished ArticlesA multiperturbation theory has been developed for molecular systems In the present paper we extend this theory to fifth order in the energy The bare-nucleus hydrogenic function is chosen as the zero-order wave function rather than the more customary hartree-fock function With this choice the multiperturbation wave functions are independent of the nuclear charges and of the total number of nuclear centers and electrons for the molecule and are thus completely transferable to other systems Making the simplest possible choice we describe an n-electron m-center polyatomic molecule as n hydrogenic electrons on a single center perturbed by electron-electron and electron-nucleus coulomb interactions With this choice of zero-order Hamiltonian H0 the first-order wave function for any polyatomic molecule will consist entirely of two-electron one-center and one-electron two-center first-order wave functions These are exactly transferable from calculations on He-like and H2-like systems To calculate the first-order and second order correction for the wave function of any polyatomic molecule we need the first-order and second-order correction for a two-electron atomic wave function the first-order and second-order correction for a one-electron diatomic molecular wave function and some additional mixed second-order corrections The wave functions necessary will be two-center one-electron at most The second-order wave function for a polyatomic molecule contains additional contributions which cannot be obtained from the simple subsystems but represent multiple perturbation contributions which are two electron diatomic and one-electron triatomic in character The expressions for the multiperturbation energy-expansion coefficients through fifth order are derivedhttp://blogs.najah.edu/staff/emp_2160/article/Critical-behavior-of-the-ultrasonic-attenuation-and-velocity-and-shear-viscosity-for-the-binary-mixture-of-carbon-tetrachloride-and-coconut-oilPublished ArticlesMeasurements of the ultrasonic velocity and absorption at the critical concentration were made as a function of temperature and frequency for the binary mixture of carbon tetrachloride and coconut oil In addition viscosity measurements were made Ultrasonic absorption at 5 7 10 15 21 25 30 and 35 MHz above Tc is analyzed by the dynamic scaling theory of Ferrell and Bhattacharjee [Phys Rev A 31 1788 1985] The values of cf2 vs f106 show a good agreement with the theory Also the experimental values of c for carbon tetrachloride and coconut oil are compared to the scaling function F The temperature and frequency dependence of the velocity are also determined The coefficient of viscosity of the critical mixture shows a different temperature dependence from that of the pure componentshttp://blogs.najah.edu/staff/emp_2160/article/Critical-behavior-of-the-ultrasonic-attenuation-and-velocity-and-shear-viscosity-for-the-binary-mixture-of-nitrobenzene-n-hexanePublished ArticlesUltrasonic velocity and absorption as a function of temperature concentration and frequency 525 MHz and shear viscosity as a function of concentration and temperature are reported for the binary mixture nitrobenzene-n-hexane in the homogeneous phase above Tc For the observed absorption at critical concentration and critical temperature cf2 vs f106 yields a straight line as predicted by the dynamic scaling theory of Ferrell and Bhattacharjee [Phys Rev A 24 1643 1981] Also the critical amplitudes of the thermal expansion and specific heat have been calculated using the two-scale factor universality relation The adiabatic coupling constant g is calculated and compared to the experimental value In addition the experimental values of c where is the absorption at critical concentration above the critical temperature for nitrobenzene-n-hexane are compared to the scaling function F and show a good agreement with the theory Finally the velocity for the system at the critical concentration above the critical temperature appears to decrease linearly with increasing temperature
