Authors: Jirakulsawat Anchala , Noocharoen Nisa , Somnuke Pawit
Published: September 2024

In the presence of globalization and advancing clinical knowledge, there is a paradigm shift from a single patient care sector to a multidisciplinary-collaborated health care team. In pursuit of favorable postoperative outcomes, reduced length of hospital stay, minimized complications and morbidity, and accelerated recovery, prehabilitation strategies assume a prominent role following preoperative assessment. Fundamental to prehabilitation are physical activity, nutrition, and psychological interventions, aimed at enhancing preoperative functional reserve through expert-designed program sessions spanning various specialties. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) serves as an intra- and postoperative strategy to facilitate the smooth return of patients to their baseline status postoperation by mitigating surgical stress. Integrating prehabilitation into ERAS protocols holds promise for optimizingpostoperative outcomes. Protocols for prehabilitation across diverse patient groups have been proposed, paving the way for the routine incorporation of prehabilitation into patient care.
A Comparison of Wound Healing Efficacy between a Herbal-coated Lipidocolloid Dressing and a Paraffin-based Dressing in Pediatric Burn Patients - A Randomized Controlled Study
Authors: Hantanyapong Nutthavit , Meetongpun Winai
Published: September 2024

Objective: Burn injuries are prevalent among pediatric patients and pose significant challenges in wound management. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a herbal-coated lipidocolloid dressing (SI-Herb) versus a paraffinbased dressing (Bactigras) in promoting wound healing in pediatric partial-thickness burns.
Materials and Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted at Nakhon Pathom Hospital, Thailand, enrolling patients aged 0 to 15 years with partial-thickness burns covering 20% or less of their total body surface area (TBSA) between November 2021 and July 2023. Patients were randomized into SI-Herb (Group S) or Bactigras (Group B) treatment arms. The primary outcome assessed was days to complete wound epithelialization, with secondary outcomes including pain, bleeding, and dressing removal difficulty scores.
Results: Of the 28 recruited patients, 25 were included in the analysis (13 in Group S, 12 in Group B). There was no significant difference in complete wound epithelialization between the groups overall (9.2 ± 3.1 days in Group S vs. 11.3 ± 5.2 days in Group B, p = 0.242). However, subgroup analysis of patients with burns ≥10% TBSA showed a significantly shorter epithelialization time in Group S compared to Group B (11.8 ± 1.5 days vs. 15.8 ± 1.6 days, p = 0.007). Additionally, Group S exhibited lower pain, bleeding, and dressing removal difficulty scores compared to Group B (p = 0.042, 0.009, 0.003, respectively).
Conclusion: The herbal-coated lipidocolloid dressing demonstrated superior efficacy in promoting faster wound epithelialization in pediatric patients with partial-thickness burns exceeding 10% TBSA compared to the paraffinbased dressing.
Analyzing Number of Children Ever Born in Bangladesh Using Generalized Poisson Regression Model
Authors: Akib Md Muddasir Hossain , Pal Bikash
Published: September 2024

One major indicator to detect any country’s future population size is the total fertility rate (TFR). Based on the total number of children ever born, an underdispersed count data, this paper aims to investigate the fertility behavior of mothers in Bangladesh who have given birth to one or more children. For analyzing count dataset, the Poisson regression model (PRM) is commonly used, which assumes that the response variable’s mean is equal to its variance. Since the generalized Poisson regression model (GPRM) is suitable for the analysis of both overdispersed and underdispersed count data, this model is applied to deal with the underlying count dataset in this study. The results obtained in this paper have revealed some variables that impose significant impact on the current fertility differential of mothers giving birth to children.

Published: September 2024

Plastic particles less than 5 mm in size, known as microplastics, can infiltrate the environment from a variety of sources. This study aimed to assess the presence of microplastics (MPs) in the atmosphere at fifteen major traffic intersections in the greater Dhaka city from July to August 2022.The deposition rate (DP) of MPs was calculated and the observed DPs value ranged from 1.11×106 MPs/m2/day to 5.78×106 MPs/m2/day with a portion of microplastics exhibiting fluorescence activity. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to analyze the functional groups present in microplastics. The identified polymer compositions of MPs were polyethylene (PE), Nylon-6 and natural polymers (cellulose and rubber). The current study highlights the data and knowledge gaps on the atmospheric transport of microplastics and their impact to the deterioration of overall urban air quality.

Published: September 2024

The supply of freshwater is becoming a serious global challenge. Capacitive deionization (CDI) has been recognized as apromising and smart desalination technique to solve it. Carbonaceous materials, due to their non-toxic characteristics, areused for filtration, adsorption, and water deionization. In this study, a newly designed, homemade low CDI system wasfabricated, and carbon as electrode material was prepared from waste leather through a one-step activated pyrolysis process. Carbonaceous materials prepared at different temperatures were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The charge storage capacity of the carbon materials casted on a glassy carbon electrode was evaluated using cyclic voltammetric and galvanostatic chargingdischarging techniques. The fabricated CDI system could be successfully used for the study of the removal capacity of NaCl from an aqueous solution. The removal capacity of carbon prepared at 600 °C from leather is 11.58 mgg1, which is about three times higher than commercial activated carbon at flow rate and applied potential of 23 mL min–1 and 1.0 V, respectively.

Authors: Onik Marjan Hossain , Khan Ahnaf Bin R Q , Nabila Mahjabin Tarannum , Fatema  , Ehsan M Q
Published: September 2024

The composition and stability constant of the complexes of copper(II) with the ligands 2,2 –bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, saccharin, and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA),were determined, as well as the effect of temperature on the thermodynamic parameters were studied. The metal-to-ligand ratio in the EDTA complex is found 1:1 and in the rest of the cases, the ratio is 1:2. The redox behavior of the Cu (II) / Cu (0) system in the Cu-ligand complex has been studied in KCl solution as a supporting electrolyte. The redox process of the Cu (II) / Cu (0) system in the Cu-sac complex is almost similar to that of the Cu (II) solution in the absence of any ligand. In other cases, the redox process is a single-step 2-electron transfer process. The electron transfer process in all the cases is diffusion-controlled. The values of peak current ratio and peak potential separation are the evidence that the redox processes are quasi-reversible.

Love, Consciousness, Energy, and Matter: The Heart’s Vital Role in Coherence and Creation
Authors: Bradley Raymond T
Published: September 2024

The focus of this work is the heart’s vital role in creation. How the heart, when in a state of unconditional love, generates a coherent field of psychoenergetic connection, which enables mind and spirit to shape reality. Of the research I draw on, two are studies of monumental importance—Margins of Reality (26) and Some Science Adventures with Real Magic (5). These works show, unambiguously, the crucial role unconditional love plays in psychic phenomena, such as intuitive perception and focused intention. Of import, in the latter, William Tiller and his associates (5) document how focused intention can induce change in physical reality, when cocooned in an envelope of heart coherence. This prompts creation of a ‘new’ dimension of order in the quantum vacuum, and also enables access to its ginormous store of ‘free’ energy to power the change. Electrophysiological evidence suggests this is a Hyper State of coherence which, in the ECG spectrum, extends as a harmonic series likely, via multiscale entanglement, to the quantum domain. To explain the psychoenergetic processes involved in psychic interactions, the principles of classical and quantum holography are used. In essence, attentional/intentional focus, when mediated by sustained heart coherence, creates a phase-conjoined-adaptive-resonant (PCAR) channel of nonlocal communication. Through this channel, holographically encoded information about remote/future events (intuition) is received, or focused intention is transmitted. It is postulated that such will-induced change—psi-formation—occurs by way of oscillatory entrainment. In this process the target’s system is frequency-pulled, via sustained intentional focus, to the image of order holographically encoded in the agent’s intention. A set of equations delineate the relations among the key factors involved in these psycho energetic processes of creation. These point to a basic equation expressing the creation relations among the fundamental constituents of reality: Love, Consciousness, Energy, and Matter.

Published: September 2024

Background: There is a lack of data on ECG and echocardiographic modifications in hypertensive patients in our setting that justify their inclusion. Methods: This study aims to compare induced ECG and echocardiographic modifications in female and male hypertensive patients. It was a cross-sectional study among outpatients seen in the cardiology department of the UH-GT in Bamako-Mali and included hypertensive patients aged 18 years or older. Data were first collected on a survey form, inserted into a MS Access database, and finally analyzed with IBM SPSS software. Quantitative data are presented as mean with standard deviation and qualitative data as proportion. The level of significance for the statistical test was set at 5%. Results: Of 524 patients, 52.9% were new patients, and 96% had no known cardiac disease. The female sex represented 61.8%. The mean age was 55.33±15.013 years, and obesity based on body mass index was more prevalent in women's sex (81 vs. 19% in men's sex). The global prevalence of HTN was 38.8% in males and 61.1% in females. Among ECG modifications, rhythm disorders and hypertrophy were significantly higher in males, respectively (37.5 vs. 21.9 and 49.5 vs. 29). The most frequent echocardiographic signs included left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and interventricular septum (IVS), with 53 mm vs. 49,3 mm and 10 vs. 9,3 mm (<0.001). Other structural echocardiographic changes were an increase in left ventricular mass and index left ventricular mass with, respectively, 210.5 vs. 176.4 g and 115.4 vs. 96.8 g/m2. Conclusion: The prevalence of hypertension is high in both sexes, with consequences led by left ventricular hypertrophy in ECG and echocardiography. The higher prevalence of female HTN must be further studied, as must the associated factors.

Systematic Literature Review on Consumer Motivations Regarding Luxury
Authors: NAGASAWA Shin’ya
Published: September 2024

Purpose: The luxury industry is undergoing rapid changes owing to emerging technologies and social environments. This has resulted in changes in consumer perceptions, motivations, and behaviors. Thus, this study aims to understand the current advances related to consumer motivations towards luxury to advance the latest consumer profiles and behavior models in such a complex and rapidly changing context. Design/methodology/approach: The Scopus database was thoroughly searched for academic journal articles published in English related to consumer motivation for luxury products. A total of 141 articles were initially collected, and the abstracts of all articles were manually reviewed to verify their relevance. Irrelevant, incomplete, or duplicate articles were excluded, resulting in 119 articles for further analysis and synthesis. Findings: Four major themes based on research characteristics and analysis details were explored: (1) general consumer motivation, (2) motivation of different consumer groups, (3) motivation in different luxury product or service categories, and (4) brand strategy and the brandconsumer relationship. A holistic framework is proposed based on these themes to better understand consumer motivation in the luxury industry. Originality: Despite several studies on consumer motivation in the luxury industry, no comprehensive analysis has synthesized the two. This study aims to address this gap by conducting a systematic literature review.

Authors: Bulatov Stanislav A.
Published: September 2024

The study of morphology of Coscinodiscus radiatus from the Kara-Bogaz-Gol Bay (the Caspian Sea) revealed that at a salinity of 50 to 262‰ among the investigated characters, valve diameter (variation coefficient CV = 21.2%) was the most variable. The number of areolae on the valve mantle in 10 μm (CV = 9.6%) was the least variable characters. Some quantitative characters (valve diameter and number of areolae on the valve mantle in 10 μm) revealed variability compared to the literature data, based on the study of species from marine waters. An increase in the valve diameter of C. radiatus was noted at a salinity of 60‰, a decrease – at a salinity of 262‰. C. radiatus can be characterize as halophilous capable of tolerate fluctuations in salinity.

Authors: Afkarina Miftahul , Puspita W Dhevin MQ Agus
Published: September 2024

This study aims to identify and describe the main dimensions of collaborative leadership that are relevant in the context of Islamic education. The background of this study is rooted in the assumption that a leader must be able to be an effective leader, with the same goal of providing guidance, setting an example, and directing members to improve while helping to solve organizational problems. In this study, the method used is qualitative research through literature study, which examines and synthesizes findings from research and theories that exist in previous scientific works. The findings indicate that collaborative leadership is a viable option for developing an Islamic education culture. With the increasing diversity of Islamic education in Indonesia, the leadership style applied must be integrated with Islamic values. As a creature of Allah SWT who maximizes the ability to allocate efforts in educational institutions, instilling Islamic character is very important and can be achieved through the implementation of daily behavior, which will ultimately shape the organizational culture. This study contributes to the understanding that the application of collaborative leadership in Islamic education has great potential to improve the quality of education and create a more inclusive and meaningful learning environment, with Islamic values such as ta'awun (mutual assistance), shura (deliberation), and ukhuwah (brotherhood) that support the principles of collaborative leadership.
Изучение и картографирование геосистем южной части Баргузинского хребта (бассейн реки Шумилиха)
Authors: Седых Сергей Анатольевич
Published: September 2024

Представлены результаты изучения и картографирования геосистем участка западного макросклона Баргузинского хребта на основе исследований последних лет. Участок исследования охватывает основную часть бассейна р. Шумилиха, где вдоль частично построена экологическая тропа. Изучение геосистем Баргузинского хребта и заповедника, которые являются средой обитания редких видов животных и растений, проводилось автором в последние годы, в том числе по гранту РФФИ «Пространственно-временная организация геосистем Байкальской Природной территории (БПТ) 2017–2019 гг.». Исследование, представленное в статье, направлено на изучение адаптивного отклика прибайкальской популяции черношапочного сурка (Marmota camtschatica doppelmayeri)» в Баргузинском заповеднике на изменения окружающей среды». Полевые работы поддержаны в 2022 г. Фондом прикладных экологических разработок и исследований «Озеро Байкал». Проводилось изучение картографирования геосистем и ареалов обитания этого редкого вида в высокогорьях. При пространственном ГИС-анализе территории использован регионально-типологический подход на основе учения о геосистемах академика В. Б. Сочавы. Реализация подхода осуществляется при помощи современных методов – геоинформационно-картографического и дистанционного, что позволило выделить современную структуру геосистем под влиянием факторов природной динамики и пожаров на региональном фоне. Вариативность топологических геосистем в центральной части хребта связана с разнообразием микроклиматических ситуаций по крутизне и экспозиции склонов в условия сильно расчлененного горного рельефа с многолетней мерзлоты. Предложены критерии выделения топологических выделов и их структурных характеристик, относящихся к фациям и их группировкам, при площади выделов 0,2–1,1 га. Геосистемы локального уровня отображены на ландшафтном плане полигона масштаба 1 : 10 000 (площадью 2 км2, длиной периметра 6 км), что передает современное состояние ландшафтов обитания черношапочного сурка в изолированном высокогорном районе. Ландшафтный план с характеристиками геосистем является основой для дальнейшего составления оценочных и прогнозных карт.

Published: September 2024

С одной стороны, предметом анализа в статье является возможность унификации и стандартизации отдельных вопросов, касающихся проведения судебной землеустроительной экспертизы. С другой стороны, речь идет о невозможности создания единообразного алгоритма проведения самого исследования, так как это бы предопределило ответы на вопросы суда до проведения исследования, что недопустимо. Приводится анализ соотношения строительно-технической и землеустроительной экспертизы. Выполнен анализ ряда методик проведения землеустроительных экспертиз, описанных в современной научной литературе. Предлагается деление методик на монометодики, полиметодики и пространственно-ориентированные методики. При этом основной акцент при рассмотрении последних сделан на роль Федеральной государственной географической информационной системы «Единая цифровая платформа Национальная система пространственных данных» (ФГИС ЕЦП НСПД) в предоставляемой для производства экспертиз информации и анализе тех расчетных параметров, которые получает эксперт в материалах дела. Описывается простейший алгоритм, который мог бы быть использован при проверке расчетных сведений, полученных в заключении эксперта землеустроительного направления с использованием электронных сервисов ФГИС ЕЦП НСПД.

Authors: Тимофеев Владимир Юрьевич , Ардюков Дмитрий Геннадьевич , Тимофеев Антон Владимирович
Published: September 2024

Сейсмическая активность в Турции 6 февраля 2023 г. началась с двух сильных землетрясений магнитудой более 7,5, а далее, в области Восточно-Анатолийского разлома, на протяжении нескольких дней зарегистрировано большое количество событий магнитудой от 4 до 6. Впоследствии, в зоне землетрясений наблюдались разрывы земной поверхности, смещения, обвалы горных пород, оползни и опускания грунта. Измерения последствий землетрясения проводились различными геодезическими методами – от классического нивелирования до методов космической геодезии. Зарегистрированная протяженность сейсмического разрыва на земной поверхности составляла 300 км. Величина смещений по разрывам в эпицентре достигала 6 м. Поле смещений анализировалось в ближней и дальней зоне землетрясений. В ближней зоне применялось нивелирование, GPS-метод по локальной сети и метод спутниковой радарной съемки. Результаты измерений соответствуют модельным расчетам и сейсмологическим данным. В анализе смещений в дальней зоне использованы материалы измерений методом космической геодезии по данным международной сети IGS. Даже в 300 км от эпицентра смещения составляют 20 мм. Косейсмические деформации в дальней зоне достигают 10-8, что на порядок выше фоновых значений 10-9. Результаты пространственного распределения скорости смещений в дальней зоне показали сложную картину, что может быть следствием конфигурации разломной сети и положением станций измерений. Косейсмические горизонтальные смещения и опускания земной поверхности вызвали наводнения в районах Турции, расположенных к юго-западу от эпицентров землетрясений 6 февраля 2023 г. Проведено исследование смещений и деформации территории Турции и её окружения в эпохи с 2017 по 2023 г. Выделено затухание смещений за два года до сейсмической активизации 2023 г.

DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES FOR SERMIER CRACKERS TO INCREASE INCOME FOR THE COMMUNITY OF WANTILGUNG VILLAGE, NGAWEN DISTRICT, BLORA REGENCY
Authors: Silfia Serli , Ajeng Andriyani Hapsari
Published: September 2024

Sermier crackers, a type of cracker made from cassava, have been a longstanding traditional snack. Their unique, distinct, and delicious taste, combined with their affordability, makes them comparable to other flavored crackers. However, the popularity of these crackers has been declining due to advancements in food management and a growing preference among consumers to try new foods. The lack of innovation from food producers may also contribute to a reduced interest in traditional Indonesian foods. This study aims to identify methods and strategies to develop a cassava-based cracker business in Wantilgung Village, Ngawen District, Blora Regency. Data were collected through a field survey involving 125 respondents. The analysis of sermier crackers revealed the following financial metrics: an initial investment of Rp. 1,093,000, total asset costs of Rp. 36,430, total variable costs of Rp. 1,620,000, total operational costs of Rp. 1,664,430, monthly revenue of Rp. 7,200,000, a profit of Rp. 5,543,570, and a payback period of two months. A SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) was employed to identify aggressive alternative strategies for the sale of sermier crackers.

Published: September 2024

This study aims to determine the influence of product quality and price on consumer satisfaction (Y) in the Vintancake business. The sampling technique used in this study was non-probability sampling, specifically convenience sampling. A total of 50 respondents who had previously purchased Vintancake products were included as the sample for this study. The data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25. The findings indicate that product quality has a positive and significant effect on consumer satisfaction, with a positive effect of product quality (x1) = 0.199 and a significance value of 0.000 (0.000 < 0.05). Similarly, price also has a positive and significant effect on consumer satisfaction, with a positive effect of price (x2) = 0.294 and a significance value of 0.000 (0.000 < 0.05). Both product quality and price jointly influence consumer satisfaction, with product quality (X1) and price (X2) showing that when both are at 0, consumer satisfaction (Y) increases to 14.892.

Liverwort (Marchantia polymorpha) is a problematic weed in ornamental crop production. The major limitation of liverwort control is lack of herbicide options inside greenhouses and their potential to cause injury. The current research was undertaken to study the effectiveness of allelopathic properties of six different organic mulches including rice hull (RH), cocoa hull (CH), pine bark (PB), maple leaf (ML), shredded cypress (SC), and red hardwood (HW) for liverwort control. Mulch extracts were prepared and used to impregnate agar media at an increasing dose at 1X (2 mL mulch extract), 2X (4 mL), 3X (6 mL), and 4X (8 mL) rates, in a randomized complete block design. Ten liverwort gemmae were transferred to each petri dish and they were maintained inside a growth chamber. The number of gemmae germinating in each petri dish after 1 week and gemmae surviving at the end of 2 weeks was recorded. In greenhouse study, mulch extracts were applied to containers filled with substrate for assessing liverwort control. The mulch extracts or no extract (control) were applied to the containers uniformly at 1X (15 mL), 2X (30 mL), 3X (45 mL) or 4X (60 mL) rates, in a randomized complete block design. The percentage of substrate surface covered by liverwort thalli was visually estimated bi-weekly for 10 weeks. Fresh biomass of the thalli and gemmae cup counts in each pot were also recorded. After 1 week in the growth chamber, ML followed by SC, PB and RH extracts showed maximum suppression of liverwort gemmae germination. At 2 weeks, ML applied at either of the rates provided complete inhibition of liverwort growth. In greenhouse, all the mulch extracts were able to provide complete liverwort control for the first two weeks. All the mulches and rates of applications were significantly different from the control after 6, 8, and 10 weeks. PB and HW mulches showed excellent liverwort control and minimum fresh biomass of liverwort after 10 weeks as compared to other mulches. The allelopathic potential of the organic mulches can be a promising option for biopesticidal control of liverwort and a component of integrated liverwort management.

Authors: Zhang Ying , Jiang Mantang , Wang Tao
Published: September 2024

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is a critical issue that arises when restoring blood flow after an ischemic event in the heart. Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production during this process exacerbates cellular damage and impairs cardiac function. Recent therapeutic strategies have focused on leveraging the ROS microenvironment to design targeted drug delivery systems. ROS-responsive biomaterials have emerged as promising candidates, offering enhanced therapeutic efficacy with reduced systemic adverse effects. This review examines the mechanisms of ROS overproduction during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion and summarizes significant advancements in ROS-responsive biomaterials for MIRI treatment. We discuss various chemical strategies to impart ROS sensitivity to these materials, emphasizing ROS-induced solubility switches and degradation mechanisms. Additionally, we highlight various ROS-responsive therapeutic platforms, such as nanoparticles and hydrogels, and their unique advantages in drug delivery for MIRI. Preclinical studies demonstrating the efficacy of these materials in mitigating MIRI in animal models are reviewed, alongside their mechanisms of action and potential clinical implications. We also address the challenges and future prospects of translating these state of the art biomaterial-based therapeutics into clinical practice to improve MIRI management and cardiac outcomes. This review will provide valuable insights for researchers and clinicians working on novel therapeutic strategies for MIRI intervention.

Published: September 2024

Terrestrial sedimentary basins are influenced by rapid changes in the clay content, resulting in significant differences in the lateral sealing capacity (shale gouge ratio, SGR) of different parts of the fault. In the present study, we used a method of setting virtual wells and using seismic inversion data to accurately calculate the SGR of faults in strata composed of interbedded sandstone and mudstone calculate the clay content of the strata and to compensate for the low level of the actual well control. Optimal well spacing was determined based on the variable clay content of the formation. The planar variation of the fault throw was characterized via seismic interpretation. We also examined the lateral sealing of faults. The Putaohua oil layer in the S14 area of the Sanzhao Sag in the Songliao Basin was chosen as an case study. Based on the calculation of fault SGR values and the oil distribution, the evaluation criteria for the fault sealing capacity were determined, and the changes in the lateral sealing capacity of the faults were analyzed. This approach accurately estimates fault SGR values and predicts the effective oil-bearing area within the fault zone. It is also suitable for evaluating the lateral sealing of faults in strata composed of interbedded sandstone and mudstone. Our findings provide an in-depth understanding of the lateral sealing of faults and can aid in further research on petroleum distribution patterns.

Background

Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) refers to a decrease in the number or quality of oocytes in the ovarian cortex, which is a degenerative disease of the reproductive system, and can further develop into premature ovarian failure. There are few studies on acupuncture and moxibustion for DOR, which are still in the exploratory stage.

Methods/design

This study was a real-world case registry study. According to whether the subjects received conception vessel acupuncture or not, they were divided into the basic treatment combined with conception vessel acupuncture group and the basic treatment group. A total of 1221 patients with DOR were enrolled and treated for 12 weeks. The percentage of patients with ≥30% improvement in anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) was evaluated at the end of week 12. Secondary outcomes included Antral follicle count (AFC), modified Kupperman scale, basal FSH level, LH level, FSH/LH ratio, positive pregnancy, clinical pregnancy, early spontaneous abortion, ongoing pregnancy, and ectopic pregnancy.

Discussion

This study provides clinical evidence and theoretical support for the treatment of DOR with conception vessel acupuncture and moxibustion, so as to guide and improve the efficacy of acupuncture and moxibustion.

Scaling Design of the Pressure Response Experimental Facility for Pressure Suppression Containment
Authors: Liu Xinxing , Meng Zhaoming , Zhang Nan , Sun Zhongning
Published: September 2024

Pressure suppression containment has been adopted extensively in boiling water reactor design due to its remarkable pressure suppression capacity. To study the pressure response characteristics of the containment in the initial stage of the loss-of-coolant accident, it is necessary to build a scaling facility to simulate the prototype. Analysis of the steam mass and energy that are released from the break as well as of the steam condensation that occurs in the suppression pool is conducted, respectively, for the prototype pressurized water reactor. The suppression pipe system resistance is also scaled with a certain ratio. The length and diameter of the main pipe and the branch pipe as well as the orifice diameter are calculated. At last, the prototype and the experimental facility are modeled by MELCOR to analyze the steam mass and energy release. The results show that the containment pressure evolution trends of the prototype and the scaled experimental facility are consistent. The pressure difference exists at some times, with a maximum relative error of 4%.

Oat husks are produced during the milling process of oats. Oat husks are a lignocellulosic material that have the potential for valorization thereby improving the circular economy of agricultural by-products. However, due to the high lignocellulosic content, there are limited valorization pathways for oat husks. To improve the anaerobic digestibility of oat husks, pre-treatment was investigated as a method to aid valorization. A novel extrusion process was used in an attempt to fragment the lignocellulosic structure of oat husks prior to anaerobic digestion. The extrusion pre-treatment was investigated to determine the effect it may have on altering the methane yield and digestibility of oat husks. Biochemical methane potential assays were undertaken using oat husks with no pre-treatment and extruded oat husks. These assays demonstrated that extruded oat husks produced a significantly higher methane yield of 264 ml/gVS fed, which was 27% greater than the methane yield produced from the untreated oat husks. Similarly, the total solids degradation was also significantly higher for extruded oat husks treatment compared to the untreated oat husks. Overall, the extrusion process demonstrated an increased methane yield for oat husks compared to previously published data. The biomethane potential tests suggest that extruded oat husks would be a feedstock suitable for anaerobic digestion.
