description: Non-punctual medical clinic arrivals disrupt operations, create inefficiencies, and decrease service quality. This quality improvement project examined the effects of early and late patient arrivals. We explored different queuing discipline protocols, designed to reward and to promote on-time arrival behaviors, by optimizing patient schedule management within a given clinic's workday. The goal of our study was to design a queuing system that prioritizes patients who arrive on time for their scheduled appointments, before those who are late or very early, with the assumption that a patient who arrives late or very early disrupts a clinic's desired scheduling flow. Based on data collected in a cardiology clinic at the Veterans Administration Pittsburgh Healthcare System, four simulation models were built to reflect current clinic queuing protocols, parameterizing various percentages of empty clinic appointment slots, and set to a range of acceptable patient no-show thresholds. Multi-sample statistical comparisons highlight a simulation model, utilizing an M/G/1 queuing protocol, to demonstrate significant improvements over prior models. Our proposed Hybrid protocol rewards on-time arrivals, and penalizes patients who arrive late or very early for their scheduled appointments. Clinical patient management policies that reward patients who arrive on time or slightly early may encourage patients to arrive on time for scheduled appointments and improve overall service efficiency.

description: Carbon and nutrients as well as suspended solids (SS) removal by chemically enhanced primary treatment (CEPT) were conducted in the Qingshan wastewater treatment plant in Huangshi, Hubei Province. Feasibility of this process for wastewater treatment were investigated in detail by comparing the removal performance of three inorganic chemical coagulants (polyaluminium chloride, polyaluminium ferric chloride [PAFC] and poly ferric sulfate) individual or couple with poly acrylamide, optimizing the conditions during CEPT by both single factor analysis and orthogonal test designs. The results of this study demonstrated that CEPT turned out to be an effective method for wastewater treatment, with PAFC as the optimal coagulant, which showed preeminent removal capacity for chemical oxygen demand, total phosphorus and SS. The optimal working condition could be at pH 7.0, settling time 15 min, and velocity gradient of 174.80 and 15.56 s−1 for mixing and reaction phase respectively. While the coagulant dosage depends on raw water attributes, which had a decisive effect on CEPT treatment performances. However, the three coagulants behaved poorly in nitrogen removal.

description: The volatile components of Tuber liyuanum were determined by HS-SPME with GC-MS for the first time. The effects of different fibre coating, extraction time, extraction temperature and sample amount were studied to get optimal extraction conditions. The optimal conditions were SPME fibre of Carboxen/PDMS, extraction time of 40 min, extraction temperature of 80 °C, sample amount of 2 g. Under these conditions 57 compounds in volatile of T. liyuanum were detected with a resemblance percentage above 80%. Aldehydes and aromatics were the main chemical families identified. The contribution of 3-Octanone(11.67%), phenylethyl alcohol (10.60%), isopentana (9.29%) and methylbutana (8.06%) for the total volatile profile were more significant in T. liyuanum than other compounds.

description: Lignocellulosic biomass is one of the most abundant renewable resources that can be processed by chemical reactions for the production of value-added products. In the current study, cellulose and methyl cellulose were synthesized from bleached bagasse pulp and were further modified to cellulose derivatives. Cellulose was first extracted from bagasse by acid–alkali pulping process and was derivatized to prepare methyl cellulose. The products were further chemically modified to tosylated methyl cellulose and trimethylsilylated methyl cellulose. The resulting products were investigated by FT-IR and SEM. Cellulose and all derivatives prepared were evaluated as potential pH-sensitive carrier matrices. The effectiveness as carrier was investigated as function of pH and time in various pH solutions, namely 2.0, 3.5 and 5.0. It was indicated that the type of the modified cellulose plays a role in the obtained results. The present work can be considered as a basic line for drug loading and releasing field.

description: Ozone, ultrasound, and ozone/ultrasound processes were evaluated for the removal of 1,4-dioxane from tap water using a continuous flow reactor with on-line aqueous ozone measurement. The addition of ultrasound to ozone was found to significantly boost removal. The removal of 1,4-dioxane by ozone/ultrasound process exceeded the sum of the removals from ozone alone and ultrasound alone. Ultrasound alone showed less than 20% removal of 1,4-dioxane. The effects of reactor pressurization and bicarbonate as a hydroxyl radical scavenger were also studied. It was observed that at constant aqueous ozone concentration, additional pressure in the reactor tended to mute the 1,4-dioxane removal boost noted in the ozone/ultrasound process, while additional pressure did not affect 1,4-dioxane removal via ozone alone. The removal of 1,4-dioxane was found to be dependent on the consumption of aqueous ozone, and the consumption of ozone was found to be increased by either the addition of ultrasound or by increasing pH. Rate constants were calculated for various ozone concentrations for the ozone and ozone/ultrasound processes and the systems were fitted to a Chick & Watson-style model.

description: Maltose phosphorylases (EC 2.4.1.8) catalyze the reversible conversion of maltose to glucose and glucose-1-phosphate in the presence of inorganic phosphate. Herein, we describe for the first time the use of a maltose phosphorylase for the synthesis of various anomerically modified diglycosides. The maltose phosphorylase used was isolated from the bacterium Emticicia oligotrophica and showed a high selectivity towards the phosphorolysis of maltose, whereas no phosphorolysis was observed using other glucose-containing disaccharides such as cellobiose, melibiose, sucrose and trehalose. The addition of glucose to various 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-glycosides (X-sugars) was used to evaluate the promiscuity of the maltose phosphorylase, and product formation was verified by LC-ESI-MS and MALDI-TOF-MS. The simple expression and purification protocol and the use of maltose as an inexpensive starting material make this maltose phosphorylase from Emticicia oligotrophica a valuable novel biocatalyst for the synthesis of glucose-containing glycosides.

description: Cost effective agricultural crop productivity is an everlasting demand, this predominant expedition has raised a global shift towards practicing smart agricultural methods to increase the productivity and the efficiency of the agricultural sector, using IoT. This research identified the benefits and the challenges in IoT adoption as an alternate for out-of-date agricultural practices. The proposed decision support system using IoT for Smart Soil Nutrition Prediction (SSNP) adopts IR sensors and implements diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy. Information is transferred using Arduino and Zigbee protocol. It has indicated precise outcomes in various studies giving a high repeatable, low cost and fast estimation of soil properties. The measure of light absorbed by a soil example is estimated, inside several particular wavebands over a scope of frequencies to yield an infrared range utilizing an IR sensor. Using the given values, the experimental analysis using the dataset and the nutrition values of the soil such as Ca, P, SOC, Sand and pH are predicted. This proposed IoT framework would enhance the farmer’s knowledge regarding the type of crops they should grow to get maximum profit from their agricultural produce.

description: Tequila lessons to Mezcal This is an scheme and pictures to explain about the selection pressure on cultivars of blue agave tequila group. In the XIX century there were under plantation different cultivars for tequila production. Some of them were related with blue agave and others seems to be introduced in the Tequila region for fibers production. At least four cultivars are part of the Agave tequilana taxon: blue, sigüín, criollo and blue variegata. The laws for tequila in 1972 selected just blue agave cultivar letting the others without studies and technical arguments. This slide is based in Valenzuela (2011) and with her pictures and information. It is a tequila lesson to mezcal, because the laws in Mezcal Denomination of Origin permit more agave species, the actual mezcal marketing is based in the rich agave biodiversity. The North American marketing of mono varietal wines influences also mezcal, but the national trends of "connaiseurs" like the most regional mezcal. Habits of consumption in Mezcal and marketers could help the bio diversity in agave knowing about the "regional mezcal" with multi varietal mezcal.

description: Background: Investigation of allele and genotype frequencies of microsatellite loci in various populations is an essential pre-requisite in forensic application. Aim: The present study obtained population genetic data and forensic parameters of 39 autosomal Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) loci from a Chinese Li ethnic group and estimated the genetic relationships between Li and other reference populations. Subjects and methods: Thirty-nine STR loci, which include D19S433, D5S818, D21S11, D18S51, D6S1043, D3S1358, D13S317, D7S820, D16S539, CSF1PO, Penta D, D2S441, vWA, D8S1179, TPOX, Penta E, TH01, D12S391, D2S1338, FGA, D6S477, D18S535, D19S253, D15S659, D11S2368, D20S470, D1S1656, D22-GATA198B05, D8S1132, D4S2366, D21S1270, D13S325, D9S925, D3S3045, D14S608, D10S1435, D7S3048, D17S1290 and D5S2500, were amplified in two multiplex DNA-STR fluorescence detection systems for 189 unrelated healthy individuals of the Chinese Li ethnic group. The allele frequency distribution and several parameters commonly used in forensic science were statistically analysed. Results: A total of 378 alleles were observed with corresponding allelic frequencies ranging from 0.0026–0.5899. The power of discrimination and power of exclusion ranged from 0.7569–0.9672 and 0.2513–0.7355, respectively. The power of exclusion (PE) ranged from 0.2580–0.7943 for trio paternity cases and 0.1693–0.5940 for duo paternity cases. The polymorphism information content (PIC) ranged from 0.5001–0.8611. The cumulative match probability across these 39 loci was 2.4242 × 10−38. Conclusion: The results indicate that 39 STR loci are polymorphic among the Li ethnic group in Hainan Island in the South China Sea. This set of polymorphic STR loci provide highly polymorphic information and forensic efficiency for forensic individual identification and paternity testing, as well as basic population data for population genetics and anthropological research.

description: Membrane-based separation is now established as one of staple technologies used in water treatment and reuse applications. Nanofiltration, in particular, can be a cost-effective solution for removing large ions and low-molecular-weight compounds from water. Nanofiltration membranes have been manufactured mostly as flat sheets and used in spiral wound modules. Hollow fiber geometry, however, offers several advantages over flat sheet and other configurations. This paper overviews recent developments in the design of hollow fiber nanofiltration membranes and provides a comparative analysis of two main methods of their fabrication: interfacial polymerization and phase inversion.

description: Objective: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of second-line nilotinib vs dasatinib among patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (Ph+ CML-CP) who are resistant or intolerant to imatinib, from a US third-party perspective. Methods: A lifetime partitioned survival model was developed to compare the costs and effectiveness of nilotinib vs dasatinib, which included four health states: CP on treatment, CP post-discontinuation, progressive disease (accelerated phase [AP] or blast crisis [BC]), and death. Time on treatment, progression-free survival, and overall survival of nilotinib and dasatinib were estimated using real-world comparative effectiveness data. Parametric survival models were used to extrapolate outcomes beyond the study period. Drug treatment costs, medical costs, and adverse event costs were obtained from the literature and publicly available databases. Utilities of health states were derived from the literature. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios, including incremental cost per life-year (LY) gained and incremental cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained, were estimated comparing nilotinib and dasatinib. Deterministic sensitivity analyses were performed by varying patient characteristics, cost, and utility inputs. Results: Over a lifetime horizon, nilotinib-treated patients were associated with 11.7 LYs, 9.1 QALYs, and a total cost of $1,409,466, while dasatinib-treated patients were associated with 9.5 LYs, 7.3 QALYs, and a total cost of $1,422,122. In comparison with dasatinib, nilotinib was associated with better health outcomes (by 2.2 LYs and 1.9 QALYs) and lower total costs (by $12,655). Deterministic sensitivity analysis results showed consistent findings in most scenarios. Limitations: In the absence of long-term real-world data, the lifetime projection could not be validated. Conclusions: Compared with dasatinib, second-line nilotinib was associated with better life expectancy, better quality-of-life, and lower costs among patients with Ph+ CML-CP who were resistant or intolerant to imatinib.

description: β-artemether (ARM) is a widely used anti-malarial drug isolated from the Chinese antimalarial plant, Artemisia annua. The solvent effects on crystal habits and dissolution of ARM were thoroughly investigated and discussed herein. The ARM was recrystallized in nine different solvents of varied polarity, namely, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane, trichloromethane, ethyl acetate, acetone and hexane by solvent evaporation method. The obtained crystals were morphologically characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The average sizes of crystals were 1.80–2.64 μm calculated from microscopic images using Image-Pro software. No significant change in chemical structure was noticed after recrystallization and the specific band at 875 cm−1 wavenumber (C–O–O–C) confirmed the presence of most sensitive functional group in the ARM chemical structure. The existence and production of two polymorphic forms, polymorph A and polymorph B, was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). The data suggested that the fabrication of polymorph B can be simply obtained from the recrystallization of ARM in a specific solvent. Significant effects of solvent polarity, crystals shapes and sizes on drug dissolution were noticed during in vitro dissolution test. The release kinetics were calculated and well fitted by the Higuchi and Hixon–Crowell models. The ARM-methanol and ARM-hexane showed highest and slowest dissolution, respectively, due to the effects of solvent polarity and crystal morphologies. Overall, proper selection of the solvents for the final crystallization of ARM helps to optimize dissolution and bioavailability for a better delivery of anti-malarial drug.

description: India's education sector is indeed in a bad state. There are serious problems with respect to access to education itself, and quality education is simply not available. 89% of kids of primary school-going age of the richest 20 per cent of the population attend school both in the rural and urban areas, while that proportion drops to 79% for kids in the poorest fifth of the population in rural areas and 78% in urban areas. But, attendance drops sharply when it comes to secondary school and becomes worse at the higher secondary level. Also, the difference between the richest and the poorest in enrolment widens sharply from the primary section to the secondary and higher educational levels.

description: Nano iron oxide particles are beneficial to our daily lives through their use in paints, construction materials, biomedical imaging and other industrial fields. However, little is known about the possible risks associated with the current exposure level of engineered nano iron oxides (nano-FeOX) to organisms in the environment. The goal of this study was to predict the release of nano-FeOX to the environment and assess their risks for surface waters in the EU and Switzerland. The material flows of nano-FeOX to technical compartments (waste incineration and waste water treatment plants) and to the environment were calculated with a probabilistic modeling approach. The mean value of the predicted environmental concentrations (PECs) of nano-FeOX in surface waters in the EU for a worst-case scenario (no particle sedimentation) was estimated to be 28 ng/l. Using a probabilistic species sensitivity distribution, the predicted no-effect concentration (PNEC) was determined from ecotoxicological data. The risk characterization ratio, calculated by dividing the PEC by PNEC values, was used to characterize the risks. The mean risk characterization ratio was predicted to be several orders of magnitude smaller than 1 (1.4 × 10−4). Therefore, this modeling effort indicates that only a very limited risk is posed by the current release level of nano-FeOX to organisms in surface waters. However, a better understanding of the hazards of nano-FeOX to the organisms in other ecosystems (such as sediment) needs to be assessed to determine the overall risk of these particles to the environment.

description: As a novel macrocyclic host, pillar[5]arene can selectively recognise guest molecules in organic solvents. In this study, a fluorescent chemosensor composed of a functionalised-pillar[5]arene and Cu2+ metal complex (PN–Cu), which shows good selectivity for CN− anions, has been designed and synthesised. Complexation between PN–Cu and anions has been probed by means of various fluorescence-based methods. PN–Cu, as a turn-on fluorescence chemosensor showed high selectivity towards CN− ions in comparison to other anions, and its detection limit for CN− was calculated as 9.03 × 10−7 M. The PN–Cu sensor can serve as a recyclable component in sensing materials. Moreover, the interaction between the singly functionalised pillar[5]arene and Cu2+ has been probed through various tests. Based on the remarkable selectivity of the chemosensor PN–Cu, we propose that it might be used as a potential material for CN− recognition. Scheme 2. The proposed sensing mechanism of PN for copper(II) and cyanide in DMSO.

description: Pesticide residues from the time of application until harvest were analysed for 20, 17 and 18 active insecticidal and fungicidal substances in Chinese cabbage, head cabbage and cauliflower, respectively. In total, 40 mathematical models of residue degradation were developed using a first-order kinetic equation, and from these models it was possible to forecast the action pre-harvest interval for a given action threshold for low-residue production in Brassica vegetables as a percentage of the maximum residue level. Additionally, it was possible to establish an action pre-harvest interval based on an action threshold of 0.01 mg kg‒1 for the production of Brassica vegetables for baby food. Among the evaluated commodities, the speed of residue degradation was highest in head cabbage, medium in Chinese cabbage and lowest in cauliflower. The half-lives of pesticide in various vegetables were also determined: they ranged from 1.55 to 5.25 days in Chinese cabbage, from 0.47 to 6.54 days in head cabbage and from 1.88 to 7.22 days in cauliflower.

description: A comparative study on two hexahydroacridine-1,8(2H,5H)-dione deriv-atives namely, 9,10-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-3,4,-6,7,9,10-hexahy-droacridine-1,8(2H,5H)-dione (FTHD) and 10-(4-fluorophenyl)-3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-9-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-3,4,6,-7,9,10-hexahyd-roacridine-1,8(2H,5H)-dione (FTMPHD) has been performed. 1H and 13C NMR spectra have been recorded in the CDCl3 solvent. The equilibrium geometries of FTHD and FTMPHD have been determined and analyzed at DFT level employing B3PW91/6-311++G (d,p) method. The vibrational spectra of both the molecules are calculated and compared with the experimental FT-IR spectra. 1H and 13C NMR spectra have been calculated by using the gauge-independent atomic orbital (GIAO) method. The calculated spectra have been found to be in good agreement with the experimental spectra. The quantum theory of atoms-in-molecule (QTAIM) approach is employed to study various intramolecular interactions within these molecules. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) and the molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) surfaces have been constructed and analyzed. Various electronic as well as thermodynamic parameters have been reported.
