A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW ON LI-ION BATTERY AGEING ESTIMATION TECHNIQUES FOR GREEN ENERGY VEHICLES

Over the last few years, research scientists have proved that lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery can successfully compete as a rechargeable battery for green energy vehicles (electric vehicles or EVs, hybrid electric vehicles or HEVs) because of its higher energy density and lighter weight. However, capacity fade and battery pack failures remain a hindrance to its maximum utilisation. Failure not only leads in huge replacement cost but also prospective safety concerns such as short circuiting or overheating which may induce fire accidents and it becomes aggressive with ageing. That is why ageing estimation, health monitoring in terms of state of health (SoH) and end of life (EoL) estimation ability in battery equipped systems are of major concern. This paper critique novel research and development in the field of Li-ion battery ageing estimation and health monitoring. Various models, techniques and algorithms have been presented along with their pros and cons. The intent of this review and discussion is to prepare an inclusive perspective on progress and challenges in monitoring Li-ion battery ageing.
Proteomics Analysis of Lungs from Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT) Bama Miniature Pig (Sus scrofa)

With the advent of transgenic pigs using the somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), SCNT pig was thought to hold great promise in basic research, as well as in agricultural and biomedical applications, including xenotransplantation [1,2]. However, SCNT in pigs is limited by substantial problems with the current technologies, including extremely low efficiency, early embryonic and fetal mortality, postnatal mortality and abnormalities associated with SCNT [3,4]. Furthermore, many surviving cloned animals frequently have organ abnormalities including respiratory and metabolic deficiencies in their organs [5,6]. These abnormalities are likely caused by a lack of, or abnormal expression of developmentally important proteins which could affect the later development of surviving cloning animals [7,8].

Dissecting Departure: a Study of Student Withdrawal Surveys at Regis University

Nurse-Patient Communication in Oncology Settings: A Phenomenological Study from Patients’ Perspective A phenomenological study was performed to explore trust within the contexts of nursepatient relationships with oncology patients. Specifically, the present study explored trust within these relationships in oncology settings. Former and current patients were interviewed to determine their experiences of being trusted (or distrusted) by nurses. Four themes were derived from interviews: competence, personal attention, comfort and communication. Communication and competence were themes that were shown to most increase trust. Incompetence was shown to decrease trust. Nurses who appeared too busy did not instill trust either. Touch, positive facial expressions, and physical appearance increased trust. Non-verbal communication that decreased trust included being physically rough when administering medications or performing treatments and rushing patients too much.
Journal of Biotech Research [ISSN: 1944-3285]

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is a leading cereal in the arid and semi-arid regions and ranks fifth in importance among the world’s grain crops. Given its importance as a staple food crop, a livestock feed crop and potentially a bioenergy crop, there is a constant need for its genetic improvement and an important step in this regard is the evaluation of genetic diversity in sorghum. In this study, 23 genotypes, including both local and exotic cultivars, were analyzed based on their water-soluble protein and prolamine-protein profiles. DNAvariation was investigated using twenty microsatellite, or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. There were no differences in the banding patterns of water-soluble proteins, indicating that it is highly conserved among the genotypes. The prolamine profiles showed differences in their banding patterns among the genotypes. Microsatellites detected a higher degree of genetic variation among the sorghum genotypes compared to the prolamines. All the 20 SSR loci were polymorphic with a total of 94 alleles. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 8, with an average of 4.7. A genetic diversity index (DI) of 0.63 was consistent with the reports of previous publications. This low DI might be due to the lower number of genotypes used in the study, most of which were from the United States. Our results indicate that the genotypes grouped according to their geographical origins. New alleles were detected for some microsatellite loci. This is important especially if a particular locus evaluated in this study is linked to a desirable trait, the data can be used for the identification of the progeny carrying those characteristics. This would further help in the identification of appropriate parental lines for an efficient plant-breeding program and in the conservation and utilization of genetic resources.
Gc-Ms Study of Two Column Fractions from Methanol Extracts of Loranthus Micranthus and Their In Vivo Antidiabetic Activity on Alloxan Induced Diabetic Rats

The methanol extracts of Loranthus micranthus fractions were collected from column chromatography. From TLC, the fraction 17 and 20 were selected based on the clear distiguishable of bands and few phytochemicals. Same fractions when subjected to GC-MS, fraction-17 yielded 13 and fraction-20 yielded 11 prominent compounds. Diabetic rats that were treated with the fraction 17 and 20 showed significantly increase in body weight (16.52 and 12.43 % respectively). Hypoglycemic effect and antihyperlipidemic characters (decrease in the previously elevated levels of serum cholesterol and serum triglycerides) were observed. The two fractions treated rats have also showed the regeneration of pancreatic connective tissue, acini, blood vessels, blood capillaries, pancreatic ducts and their walls, islets capsule and cells in accordance to proper cytoarchitecture. The in vivo antidiabetic property may be due to the presence of single or all phytochemicals in the fraction. Greater activity was observed in fraction-17. However, further experimental studies are still needed for identification of the functionally relevant phytochemical(s) in management of diabetes in rats.
D E VELOPMENT AND IN VITRO EVALUATION OF CHITOSAN GEL F OR WOUND HEALING ACTIVITY

The present study aims to evaluate the wound healing activity of gel containing chitosan in rats. Chitosan is reported for wound healing activity, four optimized gel formulations were prepared, out of that CG - 4 showed pro mising physical properties like colour, pH, consistancy, spreadability, extrudability as that of marketed wound healing cream formulations. Topical application of the test formulation CG - 4 gel formulation was used for treatment group, which has showed sig nificant wound healing activity in excision wound model. Percentage wound closure, period of complete epithelisation and scar size reduction on complete epithelisation showed P value<0.001 as comparable to marketed formulation (1%w/w). Dead space wound stu dies also showed significant increase in Hydroxyproline content indicating promotion of collagen formation and ultimately wound healing activity. The present study thus offers a valuable insight into the claimed wound healing potential of the test formulat ion.
Comparative anatomical, histological and histochemical studies of the oesophagus in two different Iraqi birds (Columba palumbus and Tyto alba)

Oesophagus in the both species divided into three regions represented by cervical oesophagus, crop and thoracic oesophagus. Comparative morphological and anatomical results revealed that the cervical oesophagus in the barn owl was longer and narrower than that of the common wood pigeon, crop was with bilobed sac shape protruded out of the neck while in the barn owl, crop was with fusiform shape and not protruded, thoracic oesophagus in the barn owl was shorter than that of the common wood pigeon. Comparative histological study revealed that the oesophagus in both species of birds composed of four essential histological layers, mucosa, sub mucosa, muscularis externa and serosa. These layers showed variances in their thickness and components. Mucosa in the cervical oesophagus of common wood pigeon consisted of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, while in the barn owl, mucosa consisted of non keratinized stratifies squamous epithelium. Sub mucosa, muscularis externa and serosa were thinner in common wood pigeon than in the barn owl. Inner folds were more and longer in the barn owl than those of common wood pigeon and the oesophageal glands compound tubuloalveolar in the barn owl, while in common wood pigeon there were no glands. In the crop, mucosa consisted of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium in common wood pigeon, while it consisted of non keratinized stratified squamous epithelium in the barn owl. The other three layers in the barn owl were thicker than those of common wood pigeon. Inner folds in the barn owl were more and containing more oesophageal glands in the lamina propria, while in common wood pigeon, glands were less and within the sub mucosa. In thoracic oesophagus, mucosa composed of keratinizes stratified squamous epithelium in the common wood pigeon and non keratinized stratified squamous epithelium in the barn owl. Sub mucosa in the common wood pigeon was thicker than that of the barn owl, while the two other layers were thicker in the barn owl. Inner folds in the barn owl were the most, longest and containing the most number of compound tubualveolar acin-like oesophageal glands within lamina propria, while in the common wood pigeon they were less, shorter and containing less number of compound alveolar flask-like oesophageal glands within the sub mucosa.

Potential Coeliac Disease among First Relatives of Iraqi Patients

Background: Coeliac disease (CD) is a common diagnosis among children and adults in Iraq; however to the best of our knowledge, no documented data is available about its familial prevalence in Iraq yet. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of potential coeliac disease in a group of first degree relatives of Iraqi coeliac patients. Methods: 106 first degree relatives of coeliac patients attending Gastrointestinal Hospital at Medical City in Baghdad, Iraq. Their sera were underwent serological screening for coeliac disease using the IgA anti-endomysium antibody test (EMA), in addition to human leukocyte antigen class II typing. Duodenal biopsies were performed in all subjects positive to EMA. Coeliac disease diagnosis was established according to modified Marsh criteria. All family members were on a gluten-containing diet when serological tests and HLA typing were performed. Results: Fifteen (14.1%) were positive EMA among 106 relatives and thirteen (12.2%) were found as new cases of coeliac disease depending on histology results (Marsh III). However, the DQ2 antigens ratio was 39.6%, DQ8 antigens ratio was 35.8%, meanwhile, DR3 ratio was 16% and the DR5/7 ratio was 8.5%. Conclusion: Silent CD cases were more than expected in Iraq, therefore, serological testing is recommended for all first-degree relatives of CD patients. Moreover, they should undergo HLA typing to detect those whose HLA phenotype is consistent with CD. [Muhamed T Osman, Sana'a A Al-Nasiry, Makki H Fayadh, Balsam I Taha.

HIV/AIDS and the Broadcast Media in Urban Communities in Edo State, Nigeria

The paper examines the role of the broadcast media particularly the television medium in educating the public on Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) as well as caring for the HIV/AIDS infected persons in Edo State, Nigeria. It seeks to find out whether the television medium has been able to rally round government and other stakeholders‟ support for the containment of HIV/AIDS in Benin City, Ekpoma and Auchi, the three main urban communities of Edo State. Random selection method was adopted and questionnaires were distributed to the participants and these questionnaires were analysed using simple frequency tables and percentages. The result showed that television, as a medium of mass communication has been able to raise awareness on HIV/AIDS through its various programmes, which are geared towards enlightening people about HIV/AIDS or helping the infected persons to live positively. It was also found that a partial disconnect exist between the people‟s sense of awareness and sexual behaviours as could be gleaned from their attitude in terms of risky sexual behaviours indicated by the increase in HIV/AIDS infection in Edo state. Thus, this paper recommends that television programmers should explore more avenues of rallying stakeholders in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
Evaluation of Cowpea Genotypes for Infection by Two Aphid-borne Viruses

Cowpea is an important food legume utilized by millions of people in the sub-Saharan Africa and other countries. However, its production is hindered by biotic and abiotic factors of which virus is one of them. The study therefore, investigated the response of cowpea genotypes to two aphid-borne viruses during 2013 and 2014 growing seasons. Genotype IFE82-12 had the highest aphid score in 2014 while UAM1046-6-15 and UAM1051-1 recorded the highest virus severity in 2013. The virus incidence in 2013 was higher than 2014 with UAM1046-6-15 and LDPO-OBRI having the highest of 62.54% and 33.21% respectively. Serological reactions revealed that all genotypes were positive to both Cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus (CABMV) and Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in 2013 but not all were positive to CMV in 2014. The highest grain yield in 2013 was 474.08 kgha -1 produced by IT07K-318-33. In 2014, the highest significant grain yields were 888.89 and 870.37 kgha -1 produced by IT07K-31833 and IFE82-12 respectively. Despite the fact that genotypes IFE82-12, IT07K-293-2-1, IT07K-304-9 and IT08K149-3 were susceptible to double infections in both years, their yields were appreciable and they can be regarded as potential candidates for breeding programmes.

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF KAIZEN PHILOSOPHY TO IMPROVE INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTIVITY: A CASE STUDY OF ISO MANUFACTURING COMPANIES IN INDONESIA

In 2015, the members of Association of South East Asia Nations (ASEAN) established ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) to increase the economic cooperation among its members. This cooperation leads to the opening of free market among ASEAN members, which consequently increases the competition among companies and business enterprises. Implementing ISO 9001:2008 is one of the ways to become more competitive in the business. Companies that implemented ISO 9001:2008 have also applied Kaizen philosophy to increase their productivity, quality, efficiency, and security. This study aims to describe the Kaizen philosophy implementation on 12 companies with ISO 9001:2008 standard. It uses sampling technique that involves 256 respondents from production staff, financial staff, as well as procurement and sales staff. This study focuses on corporate culture (the implementation of Kaizen philosophy), job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and productivity. Likert scale was used to elicit responses from the respondents. The data were then analyzed by using Warp PLS 3.0. The results show that the corporate culture (the implementation of Kaizen philosophy) significantly affects the job satisfaction and organizational commitment. In addition, job satisfaction significantly affects the organizational commitment and productivity. Furthermore, it is also found that organizational commitment significantly affects the productivity.
PAPR REDUCTION TECHNIQUES IN OFDM

–( Review paper) The emission for long range wireless systems requires the use of power amplifiers (PA), but the use of OFDM systems, among others, exhibits high amplitude peaks of the modulated signal envelope and hence significant variations in instantaneous power. For OFDM systems, the “Peak-to-Average Power Ratio" (PAPR) parameter, which has a direct influence on the PA, must be taken into consideration. PAPR reduction techniques include techniques for processing the signal prior to transmission. This paper presents a review for PAPR reduction techniques .
