Authors: Wilches Jorge , Sepúlveda Yurleis , Castillo Midian
Published: September 2023

Los principios de la biomecánica son claves para la comprensión de la dinámica odontología y el diseño del tratamiento. Uno de los aditamentos de mayor uso en ortodoncia es el resorte de nitinol. Pocos trabajos ofrecen una caracterización biomecánica completa sobre estos, en términos de: módulo de elasticidad, resiliencia, tenacidad, punto de vencimiento y punto de fractura. Por tanto, el objetivo de este estudio es caracterizar completamente un resorte de nitinol sometido a un esfuerzo de tracción. Se concluye que el resorte cerrado de nitinol mostró una alta tenacidad y baja resistencia, cuya fuerza de tracción ortodóntica no debe sobrepasar los 100 gf a fin de no causar una deformación permanente, igualmente por su comportamiento mecánico similar al de las estructuras humanas parece tener ventajas mecánicas y de integración biológica que otros de materiales distintos (acero inoxidable, níquel-cobalto y demás aleaciones).
Safety and Nutrition of Food and to Keep Healthy by Oneself
Authors: J Zhang
Published: September 2023

Keeping eating healthy food and doing beneficial sports moderately are essential to our health and lives, but how to know whether the food or sport is safe and healthy is problematic. From our tradition, we only know many foods are safe and nutritious, and many sports are beneficial, and we could take care about safety when eating or doing them; however, we should also know why is that, and how to know them by ourselves. Combining nutriology and many experiences in practice, we could know many foods we eat everyday are safe and healthy. Alcohol (absolutely only good one, fermented from foods contains absolutely no toxic methanol which could cause blind and death) is healthy because it could help one to be happier after moderate ingestion, its combination with meat is perfect since it could denature proteins, human body could recombine proteins that built up the body thereby. Additives may also be safe since they passed scientific examination about safety and health for people, but safe and healthy food must still be based on our traditional foods which are safe and healthy to eat. Healthy eating and beneficial sports could determine our health, taking care of safety as well.
Crude Oil Price Determinants and the Impact Of COVID-19 on Crude Oil Price
Authors: Amarfio Eric Mensah
Published: September 2023

Causes of oil price increase have been a subject of much interest and numerous studies given the importance of oil as the main source of energy of the world. In the last two decades, the price volatility of crude oil has always remained a controversy. Literature has two views. The first view argues that the changes in oil prices are due to supply and demand. The other claims that financial variables (speculation and futures markets) are vital in crude oil price changes. The advent of new variables that serve as paradigm for oil price volatility creates the need to understand the intricacies of the oil market. This paper investigated the factors that determine the prices of crude oil together with the degree to which prices have been affected by the global health pandemic the Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) in 2020 by employing a multiple regression method in its assessment. With oil price as the dependent variable, all other variables were analyzed to assess the dependency of the crude oil prices on these independent variables. Refinery capacity, Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) production and oil trade movements were found to be the main affecting factors in this work whilst the cases and deaths arising from the COVID-19 confirmed cases and recorded deaths in the year 2020 proved insignificant as a determining crude oil factor
Numerical Simulation Study of Methane Gas Hydrates Production by Using Gas Injection
Authors: Guo Chaohua
Published: September 2023

Methane gas hydrate is a solid inclusion compound composed of gas and water, which is stable under high pressure and low temperature. However, the required natural gas exploration method is different from the usual traditional gas reservoir development. The exchange of methane with carbon dioxide is a leading unconventional technology for the production of natural gas hydrate. The production process of methane gas hydrate is simulated by using CMG STAR reservoir simulation software. The ability of CH4 in hydrate exchanged by injected CO2 gas and CO2-N2 mixed gas is compared, and the exchange situation of CO2-CH4 is evaluated. The results show that carbon dioxide injected into the process of methane hydrate formation has the ability to seal carbon dioxide in the form of carbon dioxide hydrate while recovering methane. A mixture of 78% nitrogen and 22% carbon dioxide produces 76.7% methane, while methane using only carbon dioxide produces 61%. Methane recovery increases with the increase of reservoir temperature and permeability. CH4-CO2 exchange technology through gas injection into hydrate reservoirs is feasible in practical oilfields, and natural gas production can be increased by injecting a mixture of nitrogen and carbon dioxide

METHODOLOGICAL INSTRUCTONS FOR SOLVING BIOLOGICAL PROBLEMS IN GENETICS
Authors: Adamyan N.
Published: September 2023

One of the standard requirements in biology is the development of
students' abilities to solve multilevel qualitative and quantitative problems on
program topics. Many years of experience have shown that one of the most
difficult issues for many students and teachers is the organization and conduct
of effective problems solving training. One of the objective reasons for this
problem is the discrepancy between the number of hours allotted for practical
exercises on problem solving. Another important reason is the lack of uniform
principles of problems solving methodology.
This paper presents a methodology for organizing and conducting
practical classes of university courses "Methods for Solving Problems in
Biology" and "Practice for Solving Problems in Biology". It has been tested in
teacher training universities and teacher training courses.
The effectiveness indicators of the proposed methodology include

Published: September 2023

Cooperative learning is a new culture of group work cooperation. First of
all, it is due to the development of students’ ability to work independently,
because during group work, pupils are separated from the teacher-they work
without the teacher’s intervention.
Group work is a form of learning, the frequent use of which leads to
independence, which is already seen as a personal quality, and it is very
necessary in the further work of the schoolchild. The philosopher of the 20th
century, John Dury, believes that the school should teach pupils to work
together in order to apply it all in life.
Cooperative learning helps pupils think, make a research, share
experience with each other, make independent decisions discuss certain ideas
and perspectives.
In order to perform group work, heterogeneous groups are formed in two
ways.
1. Mixed groups with pupils recruited from different classes. This method is
applicable in the yard form of cooperative learning [3]. When working in
this way, closeness, friendship, and respect are created among the pupils:
the younger ones take into account the opinions of the upperclassmen,
and the latter show great attention, care and help to the younger ones.
2. Permanent, long-term operation groups applicable to cooperative
learning a) in classroom form [4], b) during group games. When assigning
groups work, ready-made groups whose members are already adapted
seem to communicate intuitively and immediately begin to work
together. As a result, when looking at the finished painting, it looks like
it was done by single pupil.
Group games stimulate students’ creative thinking, develop their
imagination, ability to quickly find solutions, team thinking. Thanks to group
games, pupils student develop independence and friendship. It affects the
formation of students’ personality and value system.
Group work is supervised by the teacher, and if necessary, some help is
given.
A certain group of parents and teachers have a mistaken opinion that
many pupils are not capable and cannot draw, because in order to be able to
draw they need innate abilities.
Based on work experience, it can be concluded that all children are
capable, even talented. The teacher’s role is to discover the student’s potential,
especially among the insecure, to break the stereotypes of their fear and
mistrust, to awaken love for the art subject. Different forms and methods of
approach should be used in this matter:

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have emerged as a significant advancement in renewable energy, rivalling traditional silicon-based photovoltaics. The dye in these cells has transitioned from costly ruthenium-based compounds to cost-effective, natural organic pigments. This shift has enhanced DSSCs' efficiency and stability, with their flexibility positioning them as potential alternatives to conventional rigid solar panels. Yet, there remains the hurdle of plastic substrates' temperature limitations, especially when DSSC production often requires much higher temperatures. Innovations to address this include electrophoretic deposition, pulse laser deposition, and the titanium tetraisopropoxide process. In addition, the potential of materials, particularly titanium dioxide and the influential graphene nanoribbons, in photoanode applications has been at the forefront of recent research. While DSSCs boast of transparency and economic benefits over their conventional counterparts, they still grapple with metal complexes and sustainability issues. The shift towards organic, eco-friendly dyes has been significant considering this. This review delves into DSSCs' development, mechanics, challenges, and solutions, highlighting their integration with devices like supercapacitors for promising renewable energy prospects.
Impact of water temperature on the shipping of berried female broodstock (Macrobrachium rosenbergii): A study on survival, egg retention, hatching duration, and hatching success rate
Authors: Hangsapreurke Krasindh , Boonyarath Pratoomchat
Published: September 2023

This study evaluated the impact of different water temperatures on shipping berried female Macrobrachium rosenbergii broodstocks. The broodstocks, averaging 23±0.07 g in weight and 12±0.1 cm in length, were shipped in styrofoam boxes containing 24L of purified freshwater. Three temperature conditions were tested: 28.5±0.5oC (control), 25.5±0.5oC (T1), and 21.5±0.5oC (T2). Various water quality parameters were measured. Mortality rates were significantly lower in T2 (2.60±0.41%) and T1 (8.96±2.09%) compared to the control (24.89±4.96%) (p<0.05). The percentage of healthy berried females was higher in T2 (64.18±3.77%) and T1 (56.12±0.59%) than in the control (39.43±2.44%) (p<0.05). T2 exhibited the lowest egg weight loss (6.17±0.66 g) and the shortest hatching period (26.33±3.30 hrs) with the highest hatching success rate (90.68±0.34%) (p<0.05). Dissolved oxygen levels decreased more in the control group compared to T1 and T2 (p<0.05). Total nitrite levels increased significantly in the control group compared to T1 and T2 (p<0.05). The study concludes that cooler shipping temperatures, particularly around 21.5oC, benefit the survival, health, and hatching performance of berried female M. rosenbergii broodstocks.

Integrating sustainability innovation and a circular economy model in extracting freshwater hybrid catfish oil can lead to economic, environmental, and social gains, aligning closely. Fish oil is an industrial product of great nutritional value due to its having long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Moreover, it is highly valued for its prophylactic and therapeutic properties in nutritional and health fields. Moreover, these fatty acids are related to different neuronal functions, and their absence is associated with diverse inflammatory processes and the precarious development of neurons in human patients. Fish oil from the body parts of the hybrid catfish' frozen adipose tissue was extracted using the conventional cooking method, and a screw compressor squeezed the prepared sample and then steamed it to separate solid and oil portions to determine quantitative yield. The GC-MS method characterized the obtained total extracts for the qualitative and quantitative determination of the presence of fatty acids. Oil contents of adipose tissues were saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, and unsaturated fatty acids 37.99±0.41%, 48.43±1.75%, and 13.58±1.33%, respectively. The oil was allowed to examined physical-chemical properties and microbial activities. The results show that the hybrid catfish studied are a rich source of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Revealing sustainable energy opportunities through the integrated use of Canna indica biomass and buffalo manure for biogas generation
Authors: Muronda Macdonald Tatenda , Gotore Obey
Published: September 2023

Mature Canna indica L., contains significant percentages of hemicellulose (21.6±0.22%) and lignin (20.14±0.13%), showing its high potential as a biogas source. This study explores the potential of using C. indica biomass harvested from waterlogged clay areas for biogas production. The research focuses on optimizing the anaerobic co-digestion process with swine dung through varying calcium oxide (CaO) pretreatment concentrations during a 45-day experiment. CaO pretreatment significantly enhances biogas yield, with 2% CaO yielding the highest biogas production at 8024.10 mL. Methane concentration analysis reveals that higher CaO concentrations, notably 2% and 3%, accelerate methane production, indicating an optimal CaO concentration of around 2% for maximizing methane yield. This study outperforms others in anaerobic co-digestion, achieving a methane concentration of 64.93%. Data on C. indica at different CaO concentrations as a substrate underscores the need for precise CaO tuning for optimal methane production. The findings open avenues for sustainable waste management and renewable energy production, hinting at promising developments in energy solutions through optimized anaerobic co-digestion processes using C. indica and buffalo dung.
