Behavior of Glyphosate in Wastewater Treatment Plants
Authors: Poiger Thomas , Keller Martina , Buerge Ignaz J. , Balmer Marianne E.
Published: March 2020

The herbicide glyphosate is frequently detected in surface waters and its occurrence is linked to agricultural as well as urban uses. Elevated concentrations downstream of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) suggest that municipal wastewater is an important source of glyphosate in surface
waters. We therefore conducted a study at a typical municipal WWTP in Switzerland to characterize the seasonality of glyphosate occurrence, the removal efficiency, and the processes involved in glyphosate removal. Glyphosate was present in raw (mechanically treated) wastewater during the whole
study period (April to November). A lab incubation experiment with activated sludge indicated negligible degradation of glyphosate. Lack of degradation combined with strong adsorption lead to substantial enrichment of the compound in the sludge. Due to this enrichment and the long residence
time of activated sludge (several days, compared to hours for wastewater itself), concentrations in treated wastewater show comparatively little variation, whereas concentrations in raw wastewater may fluctuate considerably. Overall removal efficiencies were in the range of 71–96%. This
behavior could be described qualitatively using a numerical model that included input of glyphosate via raw wastewater, adsorption to activated sludge, and export via treated wastewater and excess sludge, but excluded degradation processes.
Interdisciplinary Projects Applied to Chemistry Lessons: Example of Chemistry Linked to Food Science
Authors: Moreau Lydie , Mercier Véronique Breguet
Published: March 2020

An interdisciplinary project regarding the effect of ascorbic acid on bread dough's physico-chemical properties was proposed to bachelor students in chemistry and food sciences. Such an approach was proposed to develop both scientific and soft skills, in order to prepare students for
their future working environment. Together, students deepened their knowledge regarding food science and chemistry. They were then able to plan and design experiments demonstrating the impact of gluten network formation and ascorbic acid influence onto bread dough and finished product characteristics.
This way of teaching was very appreciated by students, nevertheless it highlighted the fact that the professors' investment was considerably high, and that good organization, alignment and preparation prior to the start of this project is key.
Integrating Catalytic Processes and Modern Electrolyte Concepts into Electrosynthesis
Authors: Francke Robert
Published: March 2020

Electrosynthesis is frequently presented as an intrinsically sustainable, safe and efficient method. While this is indeed often the case, this assessment cannot be easily generalized, as a number of challenges need to be addressed on the way to more efficient and truly sustainable processes.
These challenges comprise the necessity for employing large amounts of supporting electrolyte additives along with the concomitant separation and waste issues. A further problem is the kinetic inhibition of the heterogeneous electron exchange, which in many instances leads to a decreased selectivity
and an increased energy consumption ( 'overpotential' ). Another challenge is the apparent restriction of electrosynthesis to redox reactions, which seems to exclude important redox-neutral processes such as rearrangements, cycloadditions and substitutions from the scope of applications. Herein,
catalytic approaches and electrolyte concepts are presented, which can help to overcome the abovementioned issues. For illustration of the principles, examples from our recent research activities are used.
On the Generation of Novel Ligands for SARS-CoV-2 Protease and ACE2 Receptor via Constrained Graph Variational Autoencoders
Authors: Catapang Jasper Kyle , Billones Junie B.
Published: March 2020

SARS-CoV-2 has no known vaccine nor any effective treatment that has been released for clinical trials yet. This has ultimately paved the way for novel drug discovery approaches since although there are multiple efforts focused on drug repurposing of clinically-approved drugs for SARS-CoV-2, it is also worth considering that these existing drugs can be surpassed in effectivity by novel ones. This research focuses on the generation of novel candidate inhibitors via constrained graph variational autoencoders and the calculation of their Tanimoto similarities against existing drugs---repurposing these existing drugs and considering the novel ligands as possible SARS-CoV-2 main protease inhibitors and ACE2 receptor blockers by docking them through PyRx and ranking these ligands.
Ultrasensitive and Whole-Course Encapsulated Field Detection of 2019-nCoV Gene Applying Exponential Amplification from RNA Combined with Chemical Probes
Authors: Xia Simin , Chen Xi
Published: March 2020

The newly identified 2019-nCoV (SARS-CoV-2) RNA virus has caused over 80,000 laboratory-confirmed human infections in China (as of Mar. 1st, 2020), and is now becoming a global epidemic issue. As a result, highly sensitive, reliable and field-deployable methods to detect 2019-nCoV that can be developed in a shortest possible time are urgently needed. In this work, we introduce whole-course encapsulated and ultrasensitive field detection methods against 2019-nCoV gene. We applied isothermal exponential amplification methods via reverse transcription plus subsequent enzymatic recombinase amplification (ERA), a modified recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), to amplify trace level of 2019-nCoV RNA. We designed both exo FRET probe and nfo affinity probe for easy detection of the amplified nucleic acids. These methods can be developed within a few days and as low as 0.32 aM (i.e. 0.32×10-18 M) of RNA can be reliably detected.
Energetics Based Modeling of Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin Binding to the SARS-CoV-2 Spike (S)Protein - ACE2 Complex
Authors: Sandeep Samarth , McGregor Kirk
Published: March 2020

The use of hydroxychloroquine to aid in the disruption of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and to cure or at least treat the COVID-19 disease is recently being reviewed in various clinical trials worldwide, but with insufficient examination of the binding of human ACE2 to the viral spike. In order to understand and assess the efficacy of the drug or drug combination, this paper looks at the effect of the pharmaceutical drug hydroxychloroquine, as well as a common co-drug, azithromycin, on the SARS-CoV-2 spike-ACE2 complex by using virtualized quantum mechanical modeling to better characterize binding sites on the complex, assess the binding between these sites and the drug compounds, and enhance community PDB files.
Structural and Spectroscopic Characterization of Photoactive Yellow Protein and Photoswitchable Fluorescent Protein Constructs Containing Heavy Atoms
Authors: Romei Matthew , Lin Chi-Yun , Boxer Steven
Published: March 2020

Photo-induced structural rearrangements of chromophore-containing proteins are essential for various light-dependent signaling pathways and optogenetic applications. Ultrafast structural and spectroscopic methods have offered insights into these structural rearrangements across many timescales. However, questions still remain about exact mechanistic details, especially regarding photoisomerization of the chromophore within these proteins femtoseconds to picoseconds after photoexcitation. Instrumentation advancements for time-resolved crystallography and ultrafast electron diffraction provide a promising opportunity to study these reactions, but achieving enough signal-to-noise is a constant challenge. Here we present four new photoactive yellow protein constructs and one new fluorescent protein construct that contain heavy atoms either within or around the chromophore and can be expressed with high yields. Structural characterization of these constructs, most at atomic resolution, show minimal perturbation caused by the heavy atoms compared to wild-type structures. Spectroscopic studies report the effects of the heavy atom identity and location on the chromophore’s photophysical properties. None of the substitutions prevent photoisomerization, although certain rates within the photocycle may be affected. Overall, these new proteins containing heavy atoms are ideal samples for state-of-the-art time-resolved crystallography and electron diffraction experiments to elucidate crucial mechanistic information of photoisomerization.

Authors: Rajesh Sharma  , Inder Sharma  , Pradeep Kumar
Published: March 2020

INTRODUCTION: Readily available health-related information over the internet has led to increased patient awareness, and this might be a possible factor straining the patient-physician relationship.

AIM: To assess the impact of the internet on the patient-physician relationship amongst patient visiting various dental clinics in Northern India.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Of the 600 pre-tested online questionnaires distributed, a total of 456 (response rate 76%) adequately filled questionnaires were analysed for the impact of internet on the patient-physician relationship. Responses were subsequently tabulated and analysed using SPSS Version 21.0. Statistical significance was kept as p≤0.05.

RESULTS: A statistically significant difference (p=.04) was seen amongst males and females regarding their internet usage with a higher proportion of health information being seeked by males. Most internet users (66.6%) followed their physician’s advice before they began using the internet with behavioural changes seen mostly in the 18-30 years age group (75.64%), yet only 14.38% of them informing their physician about such changes.

CONCLUSION: It is important that people be advised about the potential risks of believing in sources from the internet with physicians also being advised to spend more quality time with their patients to alleviate them of their fears and doubts.

Published: March 2020

Az európai integráció politikai folyamattá szélesedésével az európai alkotmányos térség többszintűvé alakult. Ebben az alkotmányos térségben párhuzamos alkotmányként funkcionálnak az Emberi Jogok Európai Egyezménye, az EU alapszerződéseinek alkotmányos értékű rendelkezései az Unió Alapjogi Chartájával együtt olvasva, valamint az uniós tagállamok alkotmányai. A jogrendszer differenciálódásával szükségképpen együtt jár az ún. normatorlódás, a normakonfliktusok számának növekedése, tekintettel arra, hogy egyes életviszonyokat – különösen az alapjogok vonatkozásában – több normacsoport is szabályoz. Az egyéni alapjogvédelem területén kínálkozó lehetőségeket így a három fórum együttműködése határozhatja meg. A nemzeti jogalkalmazókat elsősorban saját nemzeti alkotmányuk köti – a becsatornázott nemzetközi emberi jogi és alapjogi standardok módosíthatják ugyan a nemzeti jog alkalmazását, az alapjogvédelem végső fundamentuma azonban továbbra is a nemzeti jog és jogvédelem marad.

The article presents the results of a histological study of morphological changes in bone tissue around established dental implants after exposure to low-intensity, low-frequency ultrasound during dental implantation. Histological studies of tibia bone blocks were conducted in three groups of laboratory animals around installed dental implants, which were subjected to different modes of ultrasonic exposure. In the course of studies, it was found that the processes of osseointegration of dental implants in animals of all groups occurred without staging. In the early stages, granulation tissue was formed, which was subsequently replaced by reticulofibrotic bone tissue, and then by more mature lamellar tissue. The timing and degree of bone maturation, as well as the indicators of osseointegration in groups using low-intensity pulsed ultrasound and without it, were significantly different. It was shown that the ultrasound effect on peri-implant tissues induces osteoreparative processes, stimulating neoangiogenesis in granulation and newly formed bone tissue. It has been established that ultrasonic exposure of implants, and then peri-implant tissues during dental implantation, promotes the formation of bone tissue, the histostructure of which is similar to the histostructure of the maternal bone at earlier stages.

Analisis Faktor-Faktor yang Memengaruhi Non Performing Financing di PT TAF dan Pengendaliannya
Authors: Wahyudi Tri , Harianto  , Sahara
Published: March 2020

PT TAF is one of multifinance companies in Indonesia. The increase in low segment sales from 2013-2017 with a high credit amount led to an increase in the quality of PT TAF's receivables categorized as Non Performing Financing (NPF). This increase in NPF was also accompanied by an increase in PT TAF's net loss in 2017 and affected the company's profits. Therefore an analysis is needed to find out factors that influence the amount of credit and NPF, in order to formulate the strategy to manage it. This study uses secondary data of PT TAF debtors which related to the amount of credit, debtor delays and NPF from 2013 to 2017. The approach of this study is a case study in PT TAF about the level of NPF from 2013 -2017. The method used in this study is descriptive analysis and statistical tests. Multiple linear regression is performed to determine the factors that influence the amount of credit, while binary logistic regression is carried out to determine the factors that influence NPF. The results of the analysis will be used to formulate a strategy proposal for controlling NPF at PT TAF. Factors that significantly influence the amount of the credit are vehicle price, age, loan interest, installment amount, income, down payment, type of first installment, type of vehicle, education, gender, credit package, and credit tenor. The factors that influence NPF are the amount of credit, Loan to Value (LTV), the residence area of ​​the debtor and inflation. The proposed strategy formulations are: to consider factors which affecting amount of credit in granting credit, to increase the debtor portfolio with LTV less than or equal to 80 percent, avoid low down payment and long tenor products, strengthen collection organizational structures and increase team collection capabilities, and utilize the Financial Information Service System from OJK to obtain information about the debtors.

Published: March 2020

The financial industry with the principle of shari'ah compliance has grown rapidly in almost all countries in recent years. Sharia Capital Market is an important segment of sharia financial development. The Islamic capital market must adhere to the moral principles of Islam, which are free from interest (riba), masyir (gambling) which automatically avoids things that lead to gharar (uncertainty).  Islamic rules clearly forbid such conditions, so that the allocation of assets to Sharia stocks in the Islamic capital market tends to be bounded based on sharia moral principles. This study intends to evaluate the level of compliance of shariaa labeled stocks against bounded moral sharia. The method used is a measure of financial ratios based on POJK No. 35 /POJK.04/2017, linkage distance sharia compliance to default (DSCD) and the rate of compliance value for all shari'ah shares incorporated in the Indonesian Syari'ah Stock Index (ISSI).  The fact is that not all shares with a syari'ah label are compliant with the existing Shari'ah moral principles.

Analysis of the impact of cash transfer programs on HIV risk behaviors in Kenya
Authors: Chen Kevin , Chrysanthopoulou Stavroula A , Galárraga Omar
Published: March 2020

Background

This paper investigates the impact of Kenyan unconditional cash transfer programs on a range of HIV risk indicators, including transactional sex, sexual concurrency, knowledge of HIV, and HIV testing. Previous research on cash transfers in similar contexts suggests that the provision of cash transfers can be a potent method to bolster HIV prevention efforts. We hypothesized that as a result of receiving cash transfers from the government, individuals will have increased contact with social services, which can provide them with critical health education that will motivate them to modify their HIV risk behaviors.

Methods

We used data from the latest Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS), which contained 12,800 unique responses from individuals between the ages of 15 and 54. We compared the prevalence of various HIV risk indicators and demographic covariates between those who received cash transfers and those who did not using unequal variances t-tests and chi-square tests. We estimated the average treatment effect on the treated (ATT) using propensity score matching.

Results

Notably, individuals who received any cash transfer were less likely to have paid for sex in the past 12 months (ATT: -0.024, P=0.023), more likely to know of a place to get tested for HIV (ATT: 0.022, P=0.030), and more likely to have used a condom during sex with their most recent partner (ATT: 0.045, P=0.038). However, cash transfer recipients were more likely to have a sexual partner 10 or more years older than themselves (ATT: 0.102, P<0.001), less likely to have comprehensive HIV knowledge (ATT: -0.118, P<0.001), and more likely to have been tested for HIV two or more years ago (ATT: 0.052, P=0.028).

Conclusions

Based on our analysis of nationally representative data, we conclude that the receipt of unconditional cash transfers is associated with the reduction of some HIV risk indicators in Kenya.

Authors: Chandranegara Ibnu Sina , Paputungan Merdiansa
Published: March 2020

Tulisan ini hendak melakukan analisis yuridis terhadap hubungan antara Partai Politik dan Organisasi Sayap Parpol-nya (OSP). Hubungan dimaksud adalah berkenaan dengan pertanggungjawaban hukum apabila terjadi pelanggaran oleh organisasi sayap parpol khususnya dalam hal pembubaran partai politik. Tulisan ini difokuskan untuk menjawab dua pertanyaan, yakni: (1) Bagaimanakah hubungan antara partai politik dengan organisasi sayap partai politik?; (2) Apakah kegiatan OSP yang bertentangan dengan UUD 1945 dapat dimaknai luas dan berdampak terhadap partai politik khususnya dalam sebagai alasan pembubaran partai politik. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian hukum normatif. Pendekatan normatif digunakan untuk mengetahui hubungan hukum dan pertanggung jawaban OSP terkait pembubaran partai politik. Penelitian ini mengambil kesimpulan, Pertama, hubungan hukum antara OSP dan Partai Politik adalah dalam satu entitas hukum (subyek hukum) yang sama. OSP merupakan organisasi bukan badan hukum yang berada di bawah (dalam struktur) dan milik Partai Politik. Kedua, bahwa kegiatan OSP yang bertentangan dengan UUD 1945 dapat menjadi alasan pembubaran partai politik di Mahkamah Konstitusi. Sehingga ketika OSP melakukan pelanggaran sebagaimana yang diatur dalam Pasal 40 UU Partai Politik, maka mekanisme dan sanksi yang berlaku adalah sama dengan mekanisme penjatuhan sanksi sebagaimana diatur dalam Pasal 47, 48, sampai dengan Pasal 49 UU Partai Politik.

Published: March 2020

Problematika mengenai diversi yang dimaksudkan untuk menghindari anak dari proses peradilan telah diatur dalam hukum positif di Indonesia dalam prosesnyamelibatkan beberapa elemen, yaitu salah satunya adalah tokoh masyarakat. Adapun permasalahan dalam penelitian ini bagaimana peran dari Lembaga Adat yang ada saat ini dalam penyelesaian sengketa, khususnya penyelesaian perkara pidana anak yang berkonflik dengan hukum. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu jenis penelitian hukum juridis normatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif-analisis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ketentuan pidana tambahan adanya “pemenuhan kewajiban adat”. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwaundang-undang tersebut masih mengakui adanya Hukum Adat yang erat kaitannya dengan Lembaga Adat dalam penyelesaian sengketa pidana anak. Dari penelitian awal yang dilakukan masih rendahnya tingkat keberhasilan diversi disebabkan belum maksimalnya fungsi Lembaga Adat ini. Di Aceh dikenal  ada Lembaga Adat yang sampai saat ini masih diakui keberadaannya. Keberadaan tokoh masyarakat melalui Lembaga Adat ini perlu diaktifkan kembali melalui aturan-aturan hukum sebagai langkah awal dalam penyelesaian perkara pidana anak yang berkonflik dengan hukum. Maka dari itu saran dalam penelitian ini perlunya para dewan baik di DPR ataupun di DPRD yang terlibat dalam perubahan KUHP Pidana agar mempertimbangkan pidana adat yang lokal dapat berlaku bagi masyarakat secara nasional untuk kebaikan bersama dalam negeri ini.

Objective To investigate the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences-15 item positive scale (CAPE-15) in college students.Methods This study had two stages: initial screening with self-report questionnaires including the CAPE-15, and semi-structured interviews to investigate the instrument’s diagnostic validity. The initial screening involved 1,749 college students. The modified Korean version of Prodromal Questionnaire-16 item (mKPQ-16) was also administered. The criteria for ultra-high risk (UHR) of psychosis in the Comprehensive Assessment of At-Risk Mental States (CAARMS) were the gold standard for diagnosis.Results Twelve of the interviewed subjects met the CAARMS criteria for UHR of psychosis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was highest (0.936) for the CAPE-15 distress score (p<0.001). The use of 6 as the cutoff for the CAPE-15 distress score resulted in the best balance of sensitivity (91.7%) and specificity (85.2%), with a favorable positive predictive value of 32.4%. The coefficients of correlation between the CAPE-15 and mKPQ-16 were significant.Conclusion The Korean version of the CAPE-15 is a good instrument for screening for psychosis risk in collegiate settings. The validation of this scale could contribute to the early identification of psychosis in the Korean community.

Objective The conduct of a medical interview is a challenging skill, even for the most qualified physicians. Since a training is needed to acquire the necessary skills to conduct an interview with a patient, we compared role-play with standardized patients (SP) training and a conventional lecture for the acquisition of communications skills in undergraduate medical students.Methods An entire promotion of third year undergraduate medical students, who never received any lessons about communications skills, were randomized into 4 arms: 1) SP 2 months before the testing of medical communications skills (SP); 2) conventional lecture 2 months before the testing (CL); 3) two control groups (CG) without any intervention, tested either at the beginning of the study or two months later. Students were blindly assessed by trained physicians with a modified 17-items Calgary-Cambridge scale.Results 388 students (98.7%) participated. SP performed better than CL, with significant statistical differences regarding 5 skills: the use of open and closed questions, encouraging patient responses, inviting the patient to clarify the missing items, encouraging of the patient’s emotions, and managing the time and the conduct of the interview. The SP group specifically improved communications skills between the SP training and testing sessions regarding 2 skills: the use of open and closed questions and encouraging patient responses. No improvements in communications skills were observed in CG between the two time points, ruling out a possible time effect.Conclusion Role-play with standardized patients appears more efficient than conventional lecture to acquire communication skills in undergraduate medical students.

Bu çalışmada Tekirdağ uygulama örneğiyle son on senedir giderek artan öneme sahip olan sosyal hizmetler faaliyet alanında mevcut uzmanlaşma katsayısına göre düşük uzmanlaşma başlangıcı, uzmanlaşma başlangıcı, yüksek uzmanlaşma başlangıcı ve tam uzmanlaşma başlangıcından ne kadarlık ıraksamanın olduğunun tespitine odaklanılmıştır. Analize konu olan on yıllık veri seti (2008 - 2017) SGK istatistik yıllıklarından derlenmiştir. İstatistik yöntem olarak bölgesel uzmanlaşma düzeyini tanımlamada son seksen yıldır kullanılan lokasyon katsayısı (LQ) tekniğinden yararlanılmıştır. Tekirdağ’da 2008-2017 arasında sosyal hizmetler alanında lokasyon katsayısı değerleri 0,2 - 0,6 arasında gerçekleşmekte olup, alt sınır olan 0,7’ ye hiçbir yıl ulaşılamamıştır. Buna karşılık il bütününde istihdamda yaşanan %72’lik artışa karşılık, sosyal hizmetler faaliyet alanındaki artış 32,3 katı aşmıştır. Bu artış sosyal hizmetler faaliyet alanında Türkiye bütünündeki 13,5 katlık artışın da üzerindedir. Tekirdağ’daki mevcut istihdam düzeyi 2008 - 2017 arasında, 0,7’lik sınırdan 49 – 685 kişi, 1,25’lik sınırdan 87 - 1223 kişi, 2’lik sınırdan 139 - 1956 kişi, 3’ lük sınırdansa 208 - 2934 kişi ıraksamıştır.

Изучена эффективность мифепристона в адъювантной терапии миомы матки у женщин репродуктивного возраста. Всем больным было проведено общеклиническое исследование, трансвагинальное ультразвуковое сканирование с допплерометрией маточных и опухолевых сосудов, определение уровня гормонов в крови до применения мифепристона, через 3 и 6 мес после начала применения. Полученные данные о содержании в сыворотке крови фолитропина, лютропина, эстрадиола и прогестерона у больных, получающих мифепристон, подтверждают роль прогестерона в развитии миомы матки. Показано, что размеры миомы матки и доминантного узла по данным ультразвукового исследования уменьшились в 2,3 раза; интенсивность кровообращения через 6 мес приема препарата уменьшилась на 15,4 % (p < 0,01), что отражает положительный эффект мифепристона, а использование допплерометрических критериев на ранних этапах применения препарата обеспечивает неинвазивную оценку эффективности проводимого лечения.

Authors: Савченко Ольга Михайловна
Published: March 2020

Изучено влияние абиотических факторов среды на прохождение основных фенологических фаз у растений родиолы розовой 2-го, 3-го и 4-го годов вегетации. На 4-й год вегетации количество растений с пестичными цветками составляло 54 %. Используемые бинарные смеси микроудобрений — Силиплант (1 мл/л), Феровит (1,5 мл/л), ЭкоФус (5 мл/л) — в целом заметно повысили не только семенную продуктивность растений родиолы розовой, но и качество семян. Некорневые обработки проводили двукратно: в фазу весеннего отрастания и в фазу начала бутонизации. Наиболее перспективным вариантом обработки оказалась бинарная смесь Силиплант + Феровит. У растений 3-го года вегетации масса 1000 семян превышала контроль (без обработки микроудобрениями) на 19,6 %, у растений 4-го года вегетации — на 33,5 %. В варианте Силиплант + Феровит у растений 4-го года вегетации доля крупных семян увеличилась на 8 % по сравнению с контролем. В данном варианте у растений 3-го и 4-го годов вегетации доля выполненнных семян превышала контроль на 24,1 – 35,9 %. Всхожесть у крупных семян повысилась по сравнению с контролем на 3 – 5 %, у мелких семян — на 4 – 8 %. Энергия прорастания семян увеличилась соответственно на 2 – 5 и 1 – 5 %.

Published: March 2020

In this study, acceleration
signals measured from the SAE J577 mechanical shock machine are investigated in
detail. The aim of this investigation is to derive representative standard
acceleration signals to be used as acceleration loads for finite element
fatigue analysis of Automotive Lighting parts. These signals can also be used
as load inputs for vibration shakers which have the capability of driving time
domain signals. First of all, acceleration signals have been measured from the
free machine table and by the help of the signal analysis software, automatic
averaging operation has been performed from the long train of shock signals to
have a single average acceleration shock signal. Furthermore; because the
machine is force controlled, it is understood that the total weight and the
overall dimensions of the device under test (DUT) and the fixture have
significant effect on the severity of the test. Thus, measurements are repeated
from the different sized fixtures and the results are compared in order to
understand the effects of the fixture size and the weight on test severity.
