A Microfluidic Device Based on Plasma Nitrided Self-Organized TiO2 Nanotubes for Photocatalytic Reduction Study
Authors: Scremin Bonelli Thiago , Pereyra Inés
Published: December 2018

Nitrided TiO2 nanotubes and PDMS microchannel were assembled in a photocatalytic device for organic dyes photo-degradation studies. By integrating a PDMS microchannel with the nitrided TiO2 nanotubes array, a microfluidic photocatalytic device was obtained and characterized by morphological, chemical, and physical points of view. The fabrication process allows an easy integration of the obtained nitrided TiO2 nanotubes with a microchannel into a microfluidic device for pollutant photo-degradation. The high surface-to-volume ratio intrinsic of nanotubes structures has functional properties for harvesting light and is responsible for part of the interesting photocatalytic device performance. Another great advantage of nitrided TiO2 nanotubes compared to just TiO2 nanotubes, is the lower gap of 2.80 eV achieved by plasma nitriding processes in PECVD reactor, which leads to a 14% increase in the photocatalytic response to sun light. As a consequence, the methylene blue reduction efficiency of the microfluidic device fabricated with nitrided TiO2 nanotubes increased 13% compared to that with just anodized TiO2 nanotubes.
Ultra-low Power Integrated Analog Front-End for ISFET-based Sensors
Authors: Da Ponte Ronaldo Martins , De Barros Angélica Denardi , Diniz José Alexandre , De Sousa Fernando Rangel
Published: December 2018

In this paper, an integrated analog front-end (AFE) to condition ISFET-based sensors is presented. This is accomplished by a pH-controlled ring oscillator (pHCO) that produces a pulse frequency-modulated signal proportional to pH of a testing solution. The AFE was designed in a 180-nm standard CMOS process and a Verilog-based model was used to aid electrochemical simulations. Sensorless measurements of the chip were carried out on the oscilloscope and results revealed a digitally-represented signal with 70 MHz/V of responsivity, under a sweeping voltage from 1.0 V to 1.2 V, and a worst-case scenario of 69.4 µW for the overall power consumption. Moreover, the circuit topology circumvents the body effect problems, suppress the use of OP-AMPs or ADCs, and allows monolithic integration.

Published: December 2018

Among the numerous demographic parameters that influence population size, unbiased estimates of pre‐fledging survival remain difficult to obtain for precocial birds. In this study, we used capture–mark–recapture modeling to estimate pre‐fledging survival in a population of temperate‐nesting Canada geese Branta canadensis maxima that has undergone an exponential increase over the last two decades. We examined whether pre‐fledging survival was affected by relative hatch date, initial brood size, mother age, and weather conditions at hatching. Between 2005 and 2014, 8679 goslings were marked with web‐tags at hatching at two adjacent sites. A total of 3922 of these birds were initially recaptured and banded before fledging while 338 were recaptured and banded in subsequent years as after‐hatching year birds. Multistate models with joint live and dead encounters were used to estimate pre‐fledging survival and evaluate the effects of rearing sites, gosling characteristics, and weather conditions at hatching. Pre‐fledging survival of Canada geese varied between 0.45 (95% CI: 0.41–0.50) and 0.75 (0.62–0.84) among years and sites with an overall mean of 0.62 (0.54–0.68). Survival rates were lower for late hatched birds and tended to increase with initial brood size and mother age. Weather conditions at hatching did not affect pre‐fledging survival. Significant effect of hatch date on pre‐fledging survival has often been described in geese nesting in highly seasonal environments (e.g. the arctic) but our findings of such a relationship in temperate‐nesting Canada geese indicate that a selection pressure on the timing of breeding can also occur at more stable temperate latitudes.

Published: December 2018

The object of research is the market for Ukrainian table eggs. Having analysed the domestic market for table eggs, the main trends are found there. The dynamics of the consumption of table eggs in our country over the last few years and the factors that have the greatest impact are studied. The aim of the article. The research is to analyse and assess the condition of the table eggs market. Methodology. The study was conducted using a systematic approach, using methods of economic-statistical, logical, and functional analysis. The factors that influence the level of competition of domestic enterprises in the market for eating eggs are determined. Established market concentration indicators and calculated the concentration coefficients and the Herfindahl-Hirschman index, which indicate a significant degree of concentration in the market of the four largest egg production companies and the tendency to reduce the share of giant companies in this market. Value/originality. It is established that the domestic market for table eggs is oligopoly with undeveloped competition, which negatively affects its development, updating of assortment and consumer prices. One of the leaders in the market of food eggs is AVANGARDCO IPL, which offers the market its rather diverse branded products. The peculiarities of the activity of the agroindustrial company “AVANGARDCO IPL” as the leading producer of eating eggs in the market for poultry products with a high technological level, quality of products, and supply stability are investigated. In the future, such enterprises will gradually eliminate products produced at enterprises with less technological production, and therefore, more expensive and less qualitative. The features that are inherent in organic products and have their specifics in the context of the poultry product subcomplex are determined. On the basis of the conducted researches, the peculiarities of the demand for organic eggs produced by AVANGARDCO IPL were determined, which allowed substantiating the priority of the development of organic production for this enterprise in the market of our state and the EU countries.

Authors: YÜCETAŞ Şeyho Cem , ÜÇLER Necati
Published: December 2018

Purpose: The aim of the present study is to compare the antioxidant levels of
nucleus pulposus in advanced protruded and extruded lumbar disc hernias (LDH)
with a steady lumbar posterior longitudinal ligament with the Real
Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) method.Method: This
study was conducted with the comparison of the disc sections of a total of 40
patients who underwent an operation due to advanced protruded (n=20) and extruded
(n=20) LDH with the TRI-Reagent® and Ribonucleic acid (RNA)
isolation and the RT-PCR method between January 2013 and May 2016. The study
included patients diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation who were applied with microdiscectomy
surgery. The antioxidant levels of the disc material, which caused compression
because it was highly protrudedorextruded, were detected using the RT-PCR
method,and the expression levels of the genes were determined.Results: The antioxidant levels of the disc materials of a total of 40 patients, who
underwent an operation due to protruded and extruded disc hernia, were
determined with the RT-PCR method. The patients were found 25 females with a
mean age of 36.4 years and 15 males with a mean age of 39.26 years. Of the total
patients, 20 had MacNab grade 2 (protruded) and 20 had  MacNab grade 3 (extruded) disc hernias. The
expressions of protruded LDH materials were found to be lower than those of extruded
LDH materials.

Conclusion: Although the
expression levels of the significant antioxidant molecules of TGF-β, FGF-β,
IGF-1, NGF, MMP-3, and GAPDH mRNA, in patients with extruded LDH were
significantly higher compared to those with protruded LDH, no distinctive
features of these levels could be determined in terms of discogenic pain and
postoperative clinical improvement.

A Review on organogel for skin aging
Authors: Mehta Chetna , Bhatt Ganesh , Kothiyal Preeti
Published: December 2018

Skin aging is one of the prominent problems associated with skin as each part of body ages with the time, skin is the external organ where the sign and symptoms of aging are readily evident. However cosmetics as well as pharmaceutical approaches delayed skin aging. Gel are best fitted in all these essential criteria because of their excellent appearance, smoothness, desired consistency, fast drug release, ease of manufacturing and quality assessment and admirable stability. Recently gel formulation have been modified to yield an advance drug delivery system known as ―organogels‖. Gel define as a semi-solid preparation having an external solvent phase, apolar [organogel] or polar [hydrogel] immobilized within the space available of a three dimensional network structure. Lecithin is a natural surfactant isolated from eggs or soya bean, when it combined with water and non-polar solvent, it form gels. PLO gels have gained importance in recent years as transdermal drug delivery system. It is a thermodynamically stable, visco-elastic system, which is non-irritating, odorless and biodegradable. Pluronic F127 or poloxamer is a copolymer of polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene which forms a thermoreversible gel in concentrations between 15-30%w/v. Water plays the role of a structure-forming agent and stabilizes the process of gel formation as it solubilizes the pluronic and other hydrophilic drugs. PLO gel system facilitates the delivery of hydrophilic as well as lipophilic drugs owing to the presence of both oil and aqueous phases within the gel system.

Authors: Maurya Harikesh , Kumar Tirath
Published: December 2018

Objective: To deal with the formulation, characterization and pharmacological evaluation of anti-inflammatory polyphyto matrix tablet containing Carica papaya, Vitex negundo, Moringa oleifera and Boswellia serrata used as a novel drug delivery system. An attempt has been made to develop polyphyto matrix tablets by using HPMC and ethyl cellulose. Methods: Pharmacological screening of polyphyto matrix tablet was evaluated by using the carrageenan-induced paw edema rat model and the study carried out by using various doses (100, 200 and 300 mg/kg body weight) of three different polyphyto matrix formulations. Diclofenac sodium was used as a standard drug, due to its considerable report on antiinflammatory importance. Data were expressed by mean±SD; statistical analysis was performed by using ANOVA and p less than 0.05 considered as statistically significant. Results: Physical and chemical evaluation parameters of polyphyto matrix formulation exhibits potent and dose-dependent anti-inflammatory activity in all the tested animal groups. Formulation F1 significantly (p less than 0.05) suppresses the inflammation in the rat paw and found to be preeminent and stable in comparison with standard and other two (F2 and F3) formulations. Conclusion: Study reveals that the polyphyto matrix formulation could be useful as either an alternative or a complementary therapy in the management of all types of inflammation. It may be due to presence of terpenoids, alkaloids, glycosides and other phytochemical in herbs.

Published: December 2018

The global prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, atherosclerosis, cancer and Alzheimer's disease is on the rise. These diseases constitute the major causes of death globally. Honey is a natural substance with many medicinal properties such as antibacterial, hepatoprotective, hypoglycemic, reproductive, and antihypertensive and antioxidant. This review presents findings that indicate honey may ameliorate oxidative stress in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), liver, pancreas, kidney, reproductive organs and plasma/serum. Besides, the review highlights data that demonstrate the synergistic antioxidant effect of honey and antidiabetic drugs in the pancreas, kidney, and serum of diabetic rats. These data suggest that honey, administered alone or in combination with conventional therapy, might be a novel antioxidant in the management of chronic diseases commonly associated with oxidative stress. In view of the fact that the majority of these data emanate from animal studies, there is an urgent need to investigate this antioxidant effect of honey in human subjects with chronic or degenerative diseases.

HIV/AIDS has always been one of the most thoroughly global of diseases. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lent virus that causes HIV infection and AIDS. AIDS is a condition in humans in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening infections and cancers to thrive. Infection with HIV occurs by the transfer of blood, semen, vaginal fluid, breast milk. Within these bodily fluids, HIV is present as both free virus particles and virus within infected immune cells. HIV infects vital cells in the human immune system such as helper CD4 T cells, macrophages. HIV infection leads to low levels of T cells through a number of mechanisms, including pyroptosis of infected T cells. The symptoms of AIDS are primarily the result of conditions that do not normally develop in individuals with healthy immune systems. Most of these conditions are opportunistic infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites that are normally controlled by the elements of the immune system that HIV damages. When condoms are used consistently by a couple in which one person is infected, the rate of HIV infection is less than 1% per year. There is some evidence to suggest that female condoms may provide an equivalent level of protection.

Published: December 2018

The image is a function of 2 (two) dimensions f (x, y), where x and y are the coordinates that show the space, and the value of f (x, y) is called the image intensity at the coordinates. Digital image is an image that has a limited value of x, y, f (x, y). Digital images consist of a limited number of elements, where each element has coordinates and values. These elements are called pixels (Gonzalez and Woods., 2007). One method of randomization in the image is Arnold Transformation where the image is transformed using a cat map, which is a 2x2 matrix. After transformation, the value of each pixel gets new coordinates until the image does not have its original shape. As a result of the above problems, the author uses the basis of Arnold Transformation, to change the value of the map paint with Fibonacci and Lucas series for designing this application so that the randomization results have a higher level of security. The purpose of this study is (1) to do digital image randomization using Fibonacci and Lucas transforms so that the image does not have its original shape anymore and (2) save the randomized images into storage memory. The benefits of this study are (1) the design of digital image randomization applications, so that image security increases and (2) the effectiveness of the Fibonacci and lucas transformation methods in digital image randomization.Keywords: Image Processing, Fibonacci and Lucas

SUMUT Bank is one of the Banks in Indonesia with the name of the company PT. Regional Development Bank of North Sumatra. The North Sumatra Bank has branches in each region in North Sumatra both in the district and in the sub-district, and each of these branches is led by a branch leader or branch head. The head of this branch is responsible for the reversal of the Bank being led. The best and most accomplished branch heads deserve more and more awards. The selection of the best branch heads is selected transparently and structured in the hope that it can be a motivation for all branch heads to be able to further improve the quality and service of the Bank they lead. Making the best branch head selection done manually will take a long time and tends to be less transparent and structured. One solution so that the implementation of the selection can be carried out easily and quickly, it requires a Decision Support System that can provide consistency of assessment. In this study the method used is the VIKOR method (Visekriterijumsko Kompromisno Rangiranje). This method makes cracking on alternatives based on criteria that have been determined with an ideal compromise solution or the best solution, so that this system can later be beneficial for the SUMUT Bank to get the title in determining the best branch head.Keywords: Decision Support System, North Sumatra Bank, Branch Head, Vikor

Nowadays many people pursue photography, some make it a job and not many people pursue photography as a hobby and for fun. The object sought also varies, for example public places and even underwater objects. Underwater photography activities are usually called underwater photography which is done during scuba diving. There are several factors that influence image quality in underwater photography activities, one of which is caused by absorption and scattering of sunlight when it reaches the sea floor. This is an obstacle if you want to get high quality images. This is because some pixels are brighter than other shimmering pixels [1]. Image quality improvement is the right solution to fix the problem in the underwater imagery described above. The method used to improve image quality is Fourier Transformation and Similiarity Measurement. First improvements using Fourier transformation and after repairing, the distance between the two objects is similar, the image after repair and before repair.Keywords: Underwater Imagery, Fourier Transform, Similarity Measurement

Prepaid Card is a card that can only be used if there is a nominal number of pulses or data packets first. This card has an active period that varies depending on the policies and programs of each provider. Many card users are still confused about choosing a prepaid card that is good for use, so they really need information that can be used as a reference in choosing a prepaid card. In this study conducted to analyze a selection of prepaid cards using the TOPSIS (Technique For Order of Preference By Similarity To Ideal Solution) method in determining alternative choices for all prepaid card users, using several assessment criteria, namely: Cost (C1), Feature Completeness (C2), Signal (C3), Promotion / Advertising (C4), and Service Quality (C5). And also by using 6 alternatives, namely: Telkomsel (A1), Axis (A2), IM3 (A3), XL (A4), US (A5), and 3 (A6). And the results of this study were ranked first, namely: 3 (A6) as the first rank with a value of 0.5286 followed by XL (A4) with a value of 0.5238 as the second rank, and Telkomsel (A1) with a value of 0.5027. IM3 (A3) with a value of 0.4988, Axis (A2) with a value of 0.4765, then the last US (A5) with a value of 0.1905. It is hoped that this research can provide a better input to all prepaid card users.Keywords: TOPSIS, decision support system, pematang siantar, prepaid card

The study, entitled "Supporting System for the Decision of the Head of Distribution Section at PDAM Tirtauli Pematangsiantar Using the SAW Method" aims to produce a Supportive System that is objective and systematic in determining the distribution heads who have the best qualifications. The research data is sourced from the relevant agencies in 2018. The data that is used as a reference for the requirements of the system requirements that are built is obtained from interviews with relevant agencies. From the interview, it was found that the problem of lack of objectivity and transparency of information in the process of determining the section head in any sector including the determination of the head of the distribution section is the absence of a standard or system used in determining the section head and only using manual selection method so that the determination of the section head is determined subjectively. In addition, the Candidates / alternatives recommended by PDAM Tirtauli themselves consist of 5 employees from a total employee population of 362 with the highest criteria and 5 criteria as the requirements for the assessment of the candidates for the head of the distribution department itself covering the criteria of responsibility (C1), achievement motivation (C2) , discipline (C3), communicative (C4), and working period (C5). This study uses the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. With this system, agency leaders can produce a decision to choose the best distribution head more objectively.Keywords: Election of Distribution Section Head of PDAM Tirtauli Pematangsiantar, Decision Support System (SPK), Simple Additive Weighting (SAW)

Prediction is a process for estimating how many needs will be in the future. This study aims to predict the amount of beef production by province. Beef is one source of protein which is also a high value comodities. Meat production in Indonesia in general tends to increase by around 2.76% per year. But along with the increase in beef production in Indonesia, the level of meat consumption in Indonesia tends to fluctuate in recent years. Imports are the most common step taken by the government to meet domestic beef needs. By using the Artificial Neural Network and backpropagation algorithm, it will be predicted the amount of beef production based on the province in order to determine the steps to meet domestic beef demand based on the amount of beef consumption in the community. This study uses 11 input variables, namely data from 2005 to 2016 with 1 target, data of 2017. Using 5 architectural models to test the data to be used for prediction, the 11-4-1 model, 11-8-1 , 11-18-1, 11-20-1 and 11-28-1. Obtained the results of the best architectural model is the 11-28-1 architectural model with truth accuracy of 100%, the number of epochs 15 and MSE is 0.008623197. This model will be used in predicting the amount of beef production by province.Keywords : Beef production, prediction, backpropagatin, Artificial Neural Network

Commodity types of food crops are one of the sectors that are very important for food security, and this is very influential in maintaining food security in Indonesia. Food crops commodities in northern Aceh that have commodities include rice, soybeans, corn, peanuts, green beans and so on. The problem now is the difficulty of finding information which is an obstacle to analyzing the stock model of the types of food crops. This commodity plays an important role in people's lives in the next few years. There is a forecasting information system to be able to see all the information on the stock inventory report of food crop commodities in the future. The Double Exponential Smoothing model is very appropriate because the behavior of the commodity type data is seasonal (per month) and trend (increase). With annual data reaching 47716.14 tons for rice plants, for soybeans reached 6141.81 tons. Estimated forecast for January-December.
