Study’s Excerpt/Novelty

This study presents an application of mass-based hygroscopicity models to analyze microphysical properties of atmospheric aerosols from continental and maritime sources using data from the Optical Properties of Aerosols and Clouds (OPAC).
By examining hygroscopic growth factors and effective radii at eight different relative humidities, the research highlights the significant variation in growth factors between maritime and continental aerosols, with maritime clean aerosols exhibiting a substantially higher growth factor at 99% RH.
The study's robust statistical analysis, confirmed by R² values greater than 90% and significance levels below 0.05, demonstrates the model's efficacy for atmospheric modeling and remote sensing applications.

Full Abstract
The interplay of marine and continental sources governed the atmospheric aerosols over coastal areas. The transport of aerosols from continental sources into sea surfaces through deposition or diffusion is what causes the fast reduction of continental aerosols. A mass based based hygroscopicity models were applied to the data extracted from the Optical Properties of Aerosols and Clouds (OPAC). The microphysical properties obtained were radii, density, refractive index, mass, volume, and sphericity of the atmospheric aerosols of continental and maritime aerosols at eight different relative humidity of 0%, 50%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 98%, and 99%. Using the microphysical properties, hygroscopic growth factors, and effective radii of the mixtures, mass growth factor Gm and diameter growth factor DG were determined, and also the parameter Km for mass based of the aerosols were determined using multiple regression analysis with SPSS 16.0 at each relative humidity. The results show that Gm for maritime clean is higher than other aerosols, with a value of 34.46 at 99% RH, while the lowest value is for continental average, with a value of 5.03 at 99% RH. Also, R2 for the model is greater than 90%. The significance and P-values are less than 0.05; therefore, the model is good for atmospheric modeling and remote sensing.

Study’s Excerpt

Lethal dose (LD50) of sodium azide for two distinct tomato varieties, Beefsteak and San Marzano was quantified.
The optimal mutagen doses that can be leveraged for enhancing quality traits in tomatoes is determined.
Sodium azide has potential to improve crop resistance and productivity in tomato breeding programs.

Full Abstract
Sodium azide is a chemical mutagen that has been used to produce resistance in various susceptible crops to improve their yield and quality traits against harmful pathogens. The lethal dose and mutagenic effects of sodium azide on the germination percentage of two varieties of tomatoes (Beefsteak and San Marzano) were investigated with the aim of optimizing a suitable mutagen concentration with variability that could be exploited in the improvement of quality traits in Tomato plants. This study was carried out in the Green House at the Department of Biotechnology, Alex Ekwueme Federal University Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State (AE-FUNAI). The two varieties of tomato seeds were collected locally as fresh seeds from the taxonomic department and were treated with sodium azide at different concentrations of 0.0%, 0.2%, 0.4%, and 0.6% w/v. The seed was sown and monitored for 30 days with everyday documentation of germination percentage, survival percentage, and lethal dose. Statistical analysis using significant difference (LSD) at 95% probability level was employed to analyze the effects. The results obtained from this study show that there is a steady decrease in germination and survival percentage with increased concentration of sodium azide in both varieties of tomatoes when compared with the control. The lethal dose (LD50) was determined upon germination and survival of the tomato varieties. The highest LD50 was calculated by linear regression to be 0.950 for the beefsteak variety, which was significantly higher than 0.794 for the san marzano variety at 50% germination was recorded under treatment 0.6% NaN3. These concentrations are therefore considered as the LD50 values. Sodium azide via mutation at low concentrations improves some important quality traits of tomatoes.
Basal Expression Profile of Seven Glutathione-S-Transferases (GSTs) Genes in Six Tissues of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) for Polymerase Chain Reaction Array
Authors: Lawal Isah , Abdulkarim Babangida 
Published: November 2024

Study’s Excerpt

The differential expression patterns of Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) isoforms in six tissues of Nile tilapia are investigated.
Seven specific GST genes are examined across six tissues, and it is determined that the liver, spleen, and intestines are key sites of significant gene expression.
GST isoforms could be potentially used as biomarkers for assessing xenobiotic stress in aquatic environments.

Full Abstract
Because aquatic habitats are being destroyed and biodiversity is declining, xenobiotic pollution of water is a critical environmental problem that has garnered a lot of attention in the past few decades. This study looked at the expression patterns of Glutathione-S-transferases isoforms (GSTMA, GSTO1LA, GSTA, GSTR1, GSTK, GSTT1, and MGST), which are genes involved in xenobiotic metabolism, in Nile tilapia. From adult Nile tilapia, six tissues—liver, spleen, intestines, gills, heart, and muscle—were chosen, and seven genes that were optimised via quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) were used for validation. Gene expressions were assessed using a PCR array that included duplicate tissues in 96-well qPCR plates, with each gene/plate being assayed six times. Water is used in the remaining wells as no template control (NTC). As reference genes, Pan Ribosomal Protein L3 (RPL3) and Pan 18S ribosomal RNA (18S RNA) were employed. The genes’ basal tissue mRNA expression was measured in each tissue. The muscle was utilised to renormalise the expression levels of all genes throughout the remaining tissues since, under assay’s circumstances the muscle showed very low signal for most of the genes. Using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), the result demonstrated widespread differential expression patterns of the seven GST mRNA in the liver, spleen, intestine, gills, heart, and muscle of an untreated fish. However, it was clear that the highest significant expression level of most genes (different GST’s isoforms) was in the liver, followed by the spleen and gut, then the heart and gills compared to muscle (P<0.05). The findings demonstrated widespread differential expression of the GST’s isoforms at basal level and highlighted their utility as biomarkers for xenobiotic stress in aquatic environments.

Published: November 2024

Study’s Excerpt

In this study, Centrosema pubescens leaf extract (CPE) has been confirmed as eco-friendly and efficient green inhibitor for copper corrosion in hydrochloric acid.
Detailed thermodynamic analysis, revealed that CPE adsorption follows a Freundlich isotherm model.
SEM-EDX and FTIR characterizations confirmed the formation of a protective layer confirming the potentials of the plant extracts in sustainable corrosion prevention.

Full Abstract
The anti-corrosion behaviour of Centrosema pubescens leaf extract (CPE) on copper in 1.5 M hydrochloric acid was investigated using weight loss method at different temperatures, followed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) surface characterization connected with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The Fourier transform infrared spectrum of CPE was obtained. CPE inhibition effectiveness depends on the temperature and its concentration. CPE restrains the copper corrosion with 94.26 % inhibition efficiency at 1.0 g/L of CPE and at 303 K. For the CPE-inhibited system, a higher activation energy (Ea) value (range of 31.09 to 38.70 kJmol-1) compared to 20.34 kJmol-1 of the blank solution was obtained. The reaction process is spontaneous and endo thermic, as indicated by the ΔH, ΔS and ΔG values calculated. CPE adsorption behaviour fitted best into Freundlich isotherm.

Cost variance is the difference between budgeted costs and actual costs incurred. Operating costs are the expenses incurred by an organization to carry out its activities. When variances occur, controlling the costs associated with these variances is very important for the sustainability of business operations. Fellow Coffee Manado, as the object of research, is a cafe that sells coffee and non-coffee beverages as well as heavy meals. The purpose of this research is to measure the effectiveness of operational cost control at Fellow Coffee Manado using cost variance analysis. The research method used is qualitative descriptive, which aims to describe the effectiveness of operational cost control at Fellow Coffee Manado through cost variance analysis. The results of this study indicate the presence of cost variance in several components of operational costs, both favorable and unfavorable variances (unfavorable). The operational costs for the year 2023 that experienced unfavorable variances occurred in October, while favorable variances took place from January to September and from November to December. The causes of the variances in these costs should also be noted. For the control of the company's operating costs to be good and effective, it is due to the preparation of the budget and efforts to improve the budget and actual performance of Fellow Coffee Manado. The researcher hopes that in the future, the company will continue to prepare a better budget, along with monitoring and evaluation.

Authors: Brito Andressa Oliveira , Paula Yara Oliveira de , Klug Rufino José , Yamashita Ricardo Kiyoshi 
Published: November 2024

Introduction: The keratocyst or keratocyst is an odontogenic tumor characterized as a lesion that affects the maxillary and mandibular regions. It is considered a benign lesion, reaching a prevalence of 3% to 11% among all odontogenic cysts, resulting in major bone loss. It can be asymptomatic and is usually diagnosed through routine radiographs or histopathological findings. Objective: To present a clinical case concerning the diagnosis and surgical treatment of an odontogenic keratocyst in the anterior mandibular region. Clinical case: Male, normosystemic, melanodermic patient. An increase in extraoral volume was observed on the right side of the face in the anterior region of the mandible. Panoramic radiography revealed well-defined, unilocular radiolucent images in the areas of the right lower first premolar, left lower third molar and bilateral upper third molars. On intraoral physical examination, bone bulging was observed in the region of the tooth in question. A computerized tomography scan was then requested, in which extensive expansive bone lesions were detected. Marsupialization and local decompression of the two upper lesions and the lower right lesion were performed, detecting the presence of liquid content. Firstly, an incisional biopsy was carried out and a decompression drain was installed in the three lesions. The histopathological report was of an odontogenic keratocyst. The decompression device remained in place for 30 days in the lower right lesion and approximately 15 days in the upper lesions, showing a significant reduction in the lesions. The lower right lesion was then enucleated. The 6-month post-operative image showed bone formation with no signs of recurrence. Conclusion: The proposed treatment proved to be effective in treating odontogenic keratocysts, but follow-up imaging is extremely important in view of the possibility of recurrence.

The factors determining knowledge sharing intention among information professionals in Nigeria
Authors: Tella Adeyinka 
Published: November 2024

Rationale of Study -Several studies have considered the factors determining the knowledge sharing intention among employees. However, studies focusing on information professionals and factors determining their knowledge sharing intention through a path model are either limited or been ignored.
Methodology - In this study, the researcher developed and tested a path model that explains the factors that determine the intention of information professionals in Nigeria to share knowledge with their colleagues through a survey design.
Findings -The results revealed that a correlation exists between the overall knowledge sharing intention score and the other knowledge sharing intention factors. The results demonstrate that citizenship behaviour had the highest correlation with knowledge sharing intention (r = 0.852). This is followed by creativity and innovation (r=0.704), and interaction frequency (r = 0.558). The results of the regression of knowledge sharing intention on the ten related factors show an adjusted R-square value of 0.661, and an F-ratio of 105.37; the latter of which is significant at 0.05 level (0.000 < 0.05). These indicate that the ten independent variables jointly (as indicated by the R-square value) explained 76.5% of the variations in the knowledge sharing intention by the information professionals.
Implications -The research findings have a big bearing on policy formulation and decision making in information and knowledgeorganisations, the public and private information sector players, professional associations and information and knowledge training institutions.
Originality -This research has a great value in the sense that it is one of the pioneer studies on information sharing in the context of information research in Nigeria.
