It further included an evaluation of the biological activity of Metronidazole against two bacterial species, in addition to examining its effect on the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of both SDS and CTAB at different temperatures.
At the conclusion of the defense, the Head of the Department, Prof. Salem Jassim Mohammed, on behalf of the Dean of the College, presented letters of appreciation to Dr. Maisar Al-Qutji and Dr. Hasan Al-Diwaji, in recognition of their scientific contributions in supervision and examination, and their active role in ensuring the success of this academic event.
