Published: October 2020

Introduction: Maxillofacial injuries are one of the most common injuries seen in trauma patients. Road traffic accidents (RTA) are the most common cause of maxillofacial injuries all over the world. RTA are supposed to decrease due to lockdown which has become a usual phenomenon during the COVID- 19 pandemic. Changes in the etiology of maxillofacial injuries are supposed to dictate their pattern as well.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the pattern of maxillofacial injuries during the COVID-19 Pandemic at Birat Medical College and Teaching Hospital.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the patients attending Birat Medical College and Teaching Hospital for the treatment of maxillofacial injuries from 1 May to 31 July 2020. Consecutive sampling was used to collect data from 52 study participants.
Results: A total of 52 patients with maxillofacial injuries were studied. The age of patients ranged from 1 year to 73 years with a median age of 26 years. There were 69.2% (n=36) males with a male to female ratio of 2.25:1. The most common etiology was Road Traffic Accidents (50%, n=26). Laceration (70.7%, n=29) was the most common soft tissue injury. Parasymphysis fracture (23.8%, n=5) was the most common site of mandible fracture. The most common midface fracture was the zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fracture (40.9%, n=9).
Conclusion: RTA still remains the most common etiology of maxillofacial injuries in spite of COVID-19 and the pattern of maxillofacial injuries has not changed much either.

Estimation of Minimum Miscibility Pressure for Hydrocarbon Gas Injection Based on EOS
Authors: Hadi Liqaa I. , Hamd-Allah Sameera M. 
Published: October 2020

The important parameter used for determining the probable application of miscible displacement is the MMP (minimum miscibility pressure). In enhanced oil recovery, the injection of hydrocarbon gases can be a highly efficient method to improve the productivity of the well especially if miscibility developed through the displacement process. There are a lot of experiments for measuring the value of the miscibility pressure, but they are expensive and take a lot of time, so it's better to use the mathematical equations because of it inexpensive and fast. This study focused on calculating MMP required to inject hydrocarbon gases into two reservoirs namely Sadi and Tanomaa/ East Baghdad field. Modified Peng Robenson Equation of State was used to estimate MMP values for the two samples. The parameters of this equation have been tuned by splitting the plus component and regression process to obtain the best match for PVT properties between the calculated and that measured in the laboratory. Then the MMPs value compared with the results most reliable correlation. Ternary diagram for these samples has been constructed to illustrate the occurrence of miscibility.

Published: October 2020

The architectural form affects the human through the sensations that are generated at the receiver as soon as he watches architectural buildings , Before he was understanding and thinking what those shapes mean and what symbolic or ideas they may carry. Sensation is an immediate emotional response to these visual stimuli. These visual stimuli that existing in the architectural form - an intentionly or unintentionally by the designer - act as gestures and references provoke sensory stimuli and generate feelings that may negatively or positively affect the human psyche and the behavior of societies. So the sensory characteristics of the architectural form is Knowed (the nature of the connotations carried by the architectural form and generated a sense at the recipient). This research sought to combine these sensory characteristics of architectural studies in three groups, which have physical components (body, size, color and material), and the process of arranging them, and the processes of transformation on them. The research concludes with a variety of characteristics that can benefit the architect when designing his buildings

Interannual Variability of Winter Sea Levels Induced by Local Wind Stress in the Northeast Asian Marginal Seas: 1993–2017

Published: October 2020

The interannual variability of winter sea levels averaged over the northeast Asian marginal seas, consisting of the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, and the East Sea (ES), was investigated. The spatial-mean sea level in winter observed using satellite altimetry shows significant interannual variations with a long-term rising trend of 3.88 mm y−1 during 1993–2017, with relatively high (Period H) and low (Period L) sea level anomalies. These anomalies correlate with the patterns of the East Asian winter monsoon at interannual timescales. The atmospheric pressure difference between the Sea of Okhotsk (SO) and ES around the Soya Strait is large during Period H. Ekman transport increases due to enhanced southeastward wind stress and results in a horizontal mass convergence that yields positive sea level anomalies during Period H. In contrast, the wind-induced transport is enhanced in the southern ES rather than in the southern SO resulting in horizontal mass divergence and negative anomalies in the spatial-mean winter sea level during Period L. Our results highlight the important roles of local wind forcing and Ekman dynamics in inducing interannual winter sea level variability in the region indicating the high predictive ability of atmospheric pressure anomalies around the Soya Strait.
Hydrodynamic Compatibility of Hyaluronic Acid and Tamarind Seed Polysaccharide as Ocular Mucin Supplements
Authors: Chun Taewoo , MacCalman Thomas , Dinu Vlad , Ottino Sara , Phillips-Jones Mary K. , Harding Stephen E. 
Published: October 2020

Hyaluronic acid (HA) has been commonly used in eyedrop formulations due to its viscous lubricating properties even at low concentration, acting as a supplement for ocular mucin (principally MUC5AC) which diminishes with aging in a condition known as Keratoconjunctivitis sicca or “dry eye”. A difficulty has been its short residence time on ocular surfaces due to ocular clearance mechanisms which remove the polysaccharide almost immediately. To prolong its retention time, tamarind seed gum polysaccharide (TSP) is mixed as a helper biopolymer with HA. Here we look at the hydrodynamic characteristics of HA and TSP (weight average molar mass Mw and viscosity η) and then explore the compatibility of these polymers, including the possibility of potentially harmful aggregation effects. The research is based on a novel combination of three methods: sedimentation velocity in the analytical ultracentrifuge (SV-AUC), size-exclusion chromatography coupled to multiangle light scattering (SEC-MALS) and capillary viscometry. HA and TSP were found to have Mw=(680±30) kg/mol and (830±30) kg/mol respectively, and η=1475±30 ml/g and 675±20 ml/g, respectively. The structure of HA ranges from a rodlike molecule at lower molar masses changing to a random coil for Mw > 800 kg/mol, based on the Mark–Houwink–Kuhn–Sakurada (MHKS) coefficient. TSP, by contrast, is a random coil across the range of molar masses. For the mixed HA-TSP systems, SEC-MALS indicates a weak interaction. However, sedimentation coefficient (s) distributions obtained from SV-AUC measurements together with intrinsic viscosity demonstrated no evidence of any significant aggregation phenomenon, reassuring in terms of eye-drop formulation technology involving these substances.
Effect of physical training on gender difference in trained personal

Published: October 2020

Many controlled studies and neurological studies demonstrate that men and women are physically and mentally different. The purpose of this study is to find out whether there is any gender difference in respiratory capacity between trained athletes of both gender. This study was conducted at Kolkata (Serampore area), West Bengal, India. The subject was trained table tennis players of age group was 14 – 17 years. Significant differences have been found in height (cm), W/H ratio and PIF (l/s) between male and female lawn tennis players and all these values are significantly higher (P<0.05) in male than female players. Greater mean height in trained male than female tennis player of same age range is advantageous for male. This might be due to their own growth pattern under the influences of different specific hormones which is not considered in this study. Higher centrally located fats in trained male than female tennis player in this age range might be due to less affectivity of physical training in male. Higher central fat distribution may hinder different lung capacities by influencing abdominal cavity. Higher peak inspiratory flow in trained male than female tennis player indicates inspiratory muscles are more powerful in male player of this age range. So, it can be concluded from this study that gender differences in lung capacities can be minimized by proper training load in female trained player at least in 14-17 years age range. This study also claimed that stature is not only the decisive factor for differences in lung capacities in male and female trained tennis player of 14-17 years age range. Body composition, central fat distribution, active inspiratory muscles and proper physical training have definite role in improving lung capacities of trained male and female tennis player.

AbstractThis study discusses the role of officials maker of the waqf pledge deed to prevent the occurrence of waqf land disputes, which occurred in the Tanete Riattang Barat District Area. This research uses mixed methods, namely library research and field research. Data was collected through direct interviews with informants PPAIW, namely the Head of Religious Affairs Office (KUA) and the public who were aware of the waqf land dispute in the Tanete Riattang Barat District Area.The results showed the role of PPAIW in preventing the occurrence of waqf land disputes was very important. Therefore, PPAIW was tasked to make the waqf pledge deed and the waqf land certificate. With the deed and certificate, it would narrow the chances of a waqf land dispute. Besides making endowment pledges and endowment land certificates, the next step was to bring the two disputing parties together and provide an understanding of the disputed waqf land and show the evidence that had been made by PPAIW itself.Keywords : Certificate Waqf; Deed Pledge of Waqf; Officials Maker of the Waqf Pledge Deed (PPAIW).
