Energy spectrum of selected diatomic molecules (H 2 , CO, I 2 , NO) by the resolution of Schrodinger equation for combined potentials via NUFA method
Authors: Reggab Khalid 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The equation proposed by Schrödinger is widely recognized as the foundational formula in quantum science, comparable to the law of gravity in the study of classical physics. Describing phenomena in various fields, such as quantum optics and atomic physics, exhibits significant diversity. For specific diatomic molecule potentials, analytical responses to the Schrodinger formula can be found. These responses cover all possible values of angular momentum. The NU functional analysis and the Greene-Aldrich hypothesis are employed in our study for the purpose of obtaining an approximate solution for the Schrödinger issue including a screened modified Kratzer potential combined with an inverse quadratic Yukawa potential, a systematic approach needs to be employed. In this study, we calculate the energy eigenvalues associated with bound states in various quantum states, the present study focuses on a distinct group of diatoms molecules. The analytical data that were acquired are utilized in the analysis of various diatomic compounds H2, CO, I2, and NO. A comparative analysis compares the results of this study to those found in other studies that used different methods to figure out how accurate the current method is.

Abstract

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is closely related to metabolic syndrome (MetS). Bone morphogenetic protein 9 (BMP9) is an essential factor in glucose, lipid and energy metabolism. This study aims to investigate whether BMP9 can serve as a serological marker for the severity of NAFLD or MetS. Total of 263 individuals were enrolled and categorized into the healthy controls, NAFL group, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) at-risk group by the results of FibroTouch test and liver function. Basic demographic data and blood biochemical indicators were collected, and peripheral blood BMP9 levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Stratified analysis of population BMP9 levels was conducted according to the number of MetS components. Serum BMP9 levels differentiated NASH at-risk (58.13 ± 2.82 ng/L) from the other groups: healthy control (70.32 ± 3.70 ng/L) and NAFL (64.34 ± 4.76 ng/L). (p < 0.0001). The concentration of BMP9 was associated with transaminase, triglyceride (TG), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), uric acid (UA). Controlled attenuation parameter of liver fat (CAP) and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) were negatively correlated with BMP9 levels, while high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels were positively correlated. The risk of developing NAFLD increased along with elevated serum BMP9 and BMI, and a significantly higher risk observed in men compared to women. Additionally, serum BMP9 levels showed a downward trend as the number of components increased. BMP9 may be a protective factor for the onset and development of NAFLD, as well as a biomarker for the severity of the NAFLD and MetS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Cerebral venous thrombosis is an important cause of stroke in young and middle-aged adults with estimated (3-4) cases per million annual incidence. Papilledema is the most common sign detected in these patients that can end by blindness if not monitored and treated well. This research aims to assess development and prognosis of papilledema and its association with certain cerebral venous sinuses thrombosis. Evaluation of the optic nerve head has been done clinically and by using optical coherence tomography.
METHODS:
A descriptive_ analytic hospital based study was conducted in neurology unit at wad medani teaching hospital from December 2021 to July 2022. 20 patients were included in the study. Data including optical coherence tomography reports was collected at admission and after 2 months. Analysis was done using SPSS version 25 to report frequency of papilledema, 2months visual outcome, correlation of MRI\MRV findings with the development and outcome of papilledema.
RESULTS:
This study include 20 cerebral venous thrombosis patients with mean age of 35.75 years. Papilledema present in 70% at initial presentation in whom the superior sagittal sinus was affected in 78.6% .after two months period papilledema regressed in80%, 10% developed optic atrophy and10% died .There is clear correlation between the sinus affected and the development of papilledema (P value = 0.009); in contrast no relation between the sinus affected and the two months visual outcome of papilledema (P value = 0.417).
Conclusion:
Papilledema regressed in most CVT patients while small number of them developed optic atrophy confirming the importance of regular ophthalmological follow up of CVT patients at frequent intervals using OCT in addition to other papilledema assessment tools in order to prevent irreversible blindness. Affection of certain cerebral venous sinus can predict development of papilledema in CVT patients, but not the outcome.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
This study comprehensively assessed synovial sarcoma (SS), a highly aggressive soft tissue sarcoma, focusing on diagnostic and treatment challenges.
Data from 63 patients diagnosed with SS between 2005 and 2020 were analyzed in the single center retrospective study. Patients with comprehensive records of pathology, radiology and surgery with at least 12 months of follow-up were included.
There were 63 patients (49% female, 51% male) with an average age of 37.55±17.08 years. Neither age nor gender significantly affected survival. SS primarily affected extremities (96.92%), with a predilection for the lower limbs (75.38%). Tumor volume, averaging 109.71±176.25 cm3, emerged as a key factor. Tumors >30 cm3 were prone to metastasis (p=0.0077) and reduced survival (p=0.0163). Histologically, 38.46% were monophasic, 36.92% biphasic, and 24.62% poorly differentiated, with lower survival in the latter. Immunohistochemistry revealed high positivity rates for Bcl-2 (89.47%) and EMA (88.14%). TLE1 showed positivity in 86.67% of cases (13/15), and FISH detected SS18-SSX fusion genes in 72.72% (8/11). 41.54% had metastases, 36.92% recurred, and 23.08% succumbed to the disease.
Accurate SS identification is crucial. Consider negative predictive factors (tumor volume >30 cm3, poor histologic differentiation) when making treatment decisions and ensure extended follow-up due to the risk of late recurrence.

Abstract
The use of dietary components as new antineoplastic agents has been highlighted due to their high biological activity against tumor cells, chemopreventive effects and relatively low toxicity. The present study evaluated the antitumor effects and chemoprotective potential of the bromelain enzyme complex (BL) alone and in combination with the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX) using the following in vitro tests: cell viability by Alamar blue in cells: AGP01, SKMEL-103 and CAL-27 lines; MTT assay and fluorescent labeling in murine sarcoma 180 (S-180); and the comet assay in human lymphocytes. The results showed cytotoxic effects of BL with IC50 (µg/mL) of 124.80 (AGP-01), 91.81 (SKMEL-103), 95.75 (CAL-27) and 25.27 (S-180). When incubated with the BL + DOX combination, the IC50s were (in µg/mL) 26.29 (AGP-01), 29.04 (SKMEL-103), 2.68 (CAL-27) and 6.11 (S -180), demonstrating combination indices ranging from synergistic to antagonistic. When evaluating the mechanism of cell death in S-180, an increase in the number of cells undergoing early apoptosis was observed after incubation with BL (100 µg/mL). In genotoxicity assays, isolated BL was not genotoxic in human lymphocytes, unlike DOX, which showed this activity. When combined (BL + DOX), BL modulated the DNA damage caused by the antineoplastic agent when compared to DOX alone, with ID values ​​of 55.91% and FD of 33.65%, showing chemoprotective potential in this case. In conclusion, isolated BL exhibited antiproliferative effects on tumor cell lines and was not genotoxic to human blood cells, with positive prospects for its use in combination with DOX chemotherapy.
Scattering of pump electromagnetic wave in Thermal Cluster Plasma

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The existence of sub-micron sized clusters in a gas jet plasma dramatically alters the dispersion equations for electromagnetic and Langmuir waves. When a strong laser travels through such a plasma, stimulated Raman scattering, or SRS, takes place. The electromagnetic pump in SRS excites a side band wave and a Langmuir wave. The pump's oscillatory velocity mixes with the density disturbance caused by the Langmuir wave to produce a non-linear current density that drives the side band. The pump and side band wave exert a ponderomotive force on the electrons generating the Langmuir wave. The Langmuir wave is influenced by the plasma frequency and the thermal velocity of the plasma electrons.The impact of temperature on a short pulse laser stimulated Raman Scattering in a gas jet is examined embedded with atomic clusters.Due to a rise in the coupling constant, the growth rate of SRS increases as cluster density and electron thermal velocity increase., and frequency of the plasma wave,.Simulations have been carried out on Mathematica Version 8 to obtain the Normalized growth rate of stimulated Raman back-scattered wave with respect to normalized cluster density
Preliminary Design of Detector Assembly for DIXE
Authors: Liu Jiejia , Wang Sifan , Jin Hai , Cui Wei 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

Diffuse X-ray Explorer (DIXE) is a proposed X-ray spectroscopic survey experiment for the China Space Station. Its detector assembly (DA) contains the transition edge sensor (TES) microcalorimeter and readout electronics based on the superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) on the cold stage. The cold stage is thermally connected to the 50 mK ADR stage, and a Kevlar suspension is used to stabilize and isolate it from the 4 K environment. TES and SQUID are both sensitive to the magnetic field, so a hybrid shielding structure consisting of an outer Cryoperm shield and an inner niobium shield is used to attenuate the magnetic field. In addition, IR/optical/UV photons can produce shot noise and thus degrade the energy resolution of the TES microcalorimeter. A blocking filter assembly is designed to minimize the effects. In it, five filters are mounted at different temperature stages, reducing the probability of IR/optical/UV photons reaching the detector through multiple reflections between filters and absorption. This paper will describe the preliminary design of the detector assembly and its optimization.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Introduction:
Black individuals have the highest prostate cancer (PCa) incidence and mortality rates of any racial or ethnic group. Racial disparities persist in the understanding and uptake of genetics services, while the perspectives of Black individuals with PCa regarding genetic counseling and germline genetic testing for inherited cancer risk (GC/GT) remains understudied.
Methods
This qualitative study explored attitudes, facilitators, and barriers to awareness, interest, and uptake of GC/GT among Black individuals with PCa. Eight individuals who self-identified as African American and/or Black with a personal history of PCa participated in individual telephone interviews using a semi-structured interview guide. Interview transcripts were analyzed using both an inductive and deductive coding approach, constant comparison, and selective coding.
Results
Five major themes were identified: (1) uncertainty surrounding personal relevance of GC/GT, (2) family influence and impact of GC/GT, (3) healthcare providers and institutions as gatekeepers of GC/GT, (4) community identity, influence, and impact of GC/GT, and (5) systemic barriers to GC/GT exemplify larger structural constraints. A key finding was the influence of community, a collective identity among Black individuals and a desire to benefit the Black community, in motivating research participation and pursuit of GC/GT to lessen racial disparities in PCa.
Discussion
Individual, interpersonal, institutional, community, and structural factors are both barriers and facilitators to awareness, interest, and uptake of GC/GT. Multilevel interventions such as communicating personal, familial, and community implications of GC/GT, improving patient-provider relationships and genetics education, and addressing systemic barriers are necessary to increase efficacy, utility, and equity in GC/GT.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
We conducted a quantitative systematic review to evaluate the scientific evidence for the contribution of gut microorganisms to the acclimation and adaptation capacity of wild vertebrate hosts. After screening 1974 publications, we scrutinised the 109 studies that met the inclusion criteria based on 10 metrics encompassing study design, methodology, and reproducibility. We found that so far published studies were not able to resolve the contribution of gut microorganisms due to insufficient study design and research methods for addressing the hypothesis. Our findings highlight the need to shift from observational studies to experimental manipulations, where fitness or related indicators are measured, coupled with an update in molecular techniques used to analyse microbial functions.
Hollow Fibre Membrane Contactors for CO2 Capture

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Hollow fiber membrane contactors have emerged as an attractive and promising technology for post-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture by contacting exhaust gas with amines. This study focuses on investigating the performance of a modularized PTFE hollow fiber membrane contactor developed by Ionada. Comparative analyses were conducted between Ionada's technology and a traditional packed bed column. Results from simulations indicate a remarkable 20% reduction in solvent regeneration requirement and a 28% decrease in amine losses when employing Ionada's contactor, while maintaining the same operating conditions and target CO2 removal as the packed bed column. Consequently, these findings translate into substantial operational cost savings for carbon capture processes. The simulation results were validated through experimental runs, revealing an average absolute deviation of only 4% when comparing CO2 mass flux. Furthermore, the technology exhibits scalability, as an increase in the number of modules allows for the treatment of flue gas streams with higher flowrates without necessitating a complete unit change. Notably, scaling up the system correspondingly enhances absorption efficiency.

Abstract
In Nigeria, the widespread lack of access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) represents a critical public health challenge. Yet, the socioeconomic determinants of WASH access at the national level remain poorly understood. This study uses 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Surveys (NDHS) cross-sectional data to investigate the socioeconomic factors associated with WASH access. The majority of survey respondents lived in rural areas (57%); used an improved source of drinking water (73%) and an improved sanitation facility (55%); and did not treat their drinking water (92%). Binary logistic regression showed that Nigerians living in rural areas were less likely to have access to an improved water source (p &lt; 0.001, OR = 0.42 [0.41, 0.44]) and less likely to have access to an improved sanitation facility (p &lt; 0.001, OR = 0.79 [0.77, 0.81]). A sub-group regression analysis of respondents without access to improved WASH found that rural residence (OR = 0.84 [0.76, 0.93]), along with lower levels of education and wealth were associated with non-treatment of their unimproved drinking water. This study suggests that efforts are needed to increase WASH access in rural areas and to improve household water treatment in areas without access to improved water and sanitation.

Abstract

Access to safe water, proper sanitation, and hygienic practices are fundamental to the growth and survival of children. This study assessed the relationship between water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) practices and the nutritional status of children aged 6–59 months in the Beere/Oja-Oba community, Ibadan, Oyo State. This cross-sectional study involved 200 mothers/caregivers with under-five children. WASH practices were assessed using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Anthropometric measurements were taken and analyzed using WHO Anthro. Data were analyzed using SPSS at p &lt; 0.05. The mean age of the children was 24.91±10.52, and the majority were females (77.5%). Prevalence of stunting (44.0%), wasting (37.5%), and underweight (34.0%) were high among the children. Well (71.5%) and tap/borehole (74.0%) were the major sources of domestic and drinking water respectively, and required 5–15 min (36.9%) to source. The occurrence of diarrhea was high (48.5%) among the children. Time to drinking water source and washing a child's hands before feeding were WASH practices significantly associated with stunting (p = 0.000) and underweight (p = 0.003) among the children from lower socio-economic households (p = 0.045). Access to unsafe water was significantly associated with child malnutrition. There is a need to educate and encourage mothers/caregivers to improve their hygiene practices in the community.

to take into account a number of elements, including the potency of the scent, the product's stability
in the presence of heat and light, the compatibility of the ingredients, and the effects of the
packaging. While certain compounds used in fragrances quickly disappear from the skin, others
cling to it for longer. In order to accomplish the intended outcome and produce a product that is
attractive to the eye, it is crucial for these qualities to interact over time. Buyer psychology is
impacted by fragrance in cosmetic products, which may influence whether or not a consumer
decides to purchase it.

Methods:
The study utilized a comprehensive review of existing literature, market research, and
industry insights to gather information on fragrance selection for cosmetics.

Results:
The results of the study indicate that choosing the best fragrance for cosmetics involves
considering several key factors. Firstly, understanding the specific product type is crucial, as different
cosmetics require different types of fragrances to match their purpose and intended use.
Secondly, considering the target audience's preferences is essential, as different demographics
have varying fragrance preferences. Thirdly, aligning the fragrance with the brand identity is important
to create a cohesive and consistent product experience.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, selecting the best fragrance for cosmetics requires a thoughtful and
strategic approach. By considering the product type, target audience, brand identity, and market
trends, cosmetics manufacturers can make informed decisions that enhance the overall product
