Valuation of Startups Focused on Circular Economy: The Therpol Case
Full text linkThis study aims to valuate Therpol company which consists in a natural additive that makes it possible to transform rubber and plastic into renewable materials by using raw material of vegetable origin, the rubber tree. Therpol has local production capacity, or in other countries, in large scale. Up to the conclusion of this study, it was not known all Therpol application possibilities in the industry. The uncertainties contained in the valuation of the proposed scenarios are the greatest challenge of this work which presents three valuation methods of the company value, as discounted cash flow, multiples of variables and real options. Considering that the valuated company is of high intangible value, the analyses assess uncertain opportunities of future growth, this factor was not considered in the valuation of the company in this study. The strengthening of the brand Therpol is a fundamental factor for the company value increase.  
Implementation for New Dyeing Technique
Full text linkThis research project introduces a new dyeing technique using a Continuous Dyeing Machine for polyester fabric, one of the most widely used textiles. The machine design incorporates specific requirements for dyeing synthetic materials, such as high temperatures up to 135 degrees Celsius, crucial for effective dye absorption. The three-stage process involves immersing the fabric in a chemical sink for optimal dye penetration, removing excess chemicals through a padder under 2 bar pressure, and subjecting the fabric to a high-temperature treatment in the shock and furnace section. The objectives focus on reducing the current six-hour dyeing time and consolidating four processes into a single machine for improved space utilization and reducing time. The control system adheres to classic control theory principles, with component selection based on its applicability to fabric movement through the Continuous Dyeing Machine. This research represents a significant advancement in polyester fabric dyeing, offering insights into process efficiency and space optimization in the textile industry
DevSecOps Services: A Study of the Most Common and Rarest DevSecOps Services Available in 2022
Full text linkDevSecOps is an evolving set of practices within the prevalent DevOps paradigm that aims to include security at every stage of the development cycle. In order to understand how it has matured since its inception, we looked at a sample of 25 companies offering DevSecOps services to identify which services were most common and rarest. Multiple trends were identified, including a heavy lean towards DevSecOps services towards consultation and organizational adaptation. We also identified compliance to be a focus of many DevSecOps services. DevSecOps consultation and DevSecOps as a Service (DaaS) were identified as two of the most commonly available services in 2022, and isolation, SRE, SIEM, and orchestration were the rarest. Future studies on this subject might reveal different trends in the evolution of DevSecOps services, assuming DevSecOps hasn\u27t been replaced by a more advanced paradigm
Gas Chromatography-Spectrometric Analysis of An African Mistletoe Leaf Extract
Full text linkThe high prevalence of mood disorders and the failings of the current drugs for the treatment of these disorders call for renewed efforts to discover novel chemical entities to meet the disease demand of these clinical conditions. Methanol Tapianthus globiferus leaf extract has demonstrated anxiolytic activity in mice. However, reports on specific chemical components of the medicinal plant that may account for the anxiolytic and other biological effects are few. Thus, gas chromatography-mass spectrometric analysis was carried out on methanol Tapianthus globiferus leaf extract. The results include acetic acid, oxalic acid, isobutyl amine, N-ethyl formamide, ethanamine, o-allyl hydroxylamine, N, N-dimethyl ethanamine, dimethyl silane, 1-propanol, 2-propenenitrile, carbonyl sulfide, [3, 4-b] pyrazin-5 (4H)-one, 6-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-furanone, thiirane, urea and propenamide. These phytoconstituents are associated with important biological activities and may be responsible for the anxiolytic activity of the extract under investigation and some other pharmacological activities reported for extracts of Tapinanthus globiferus and its congeners. These findings are a justification for the traditional uses of Tapianthus globiferus for the management of diverse chronic diseases
Assessment of Quality of Immediate Care after Birth for Babies with Gastroschisis at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Ghana
Full text linkBackground: Quality nursing care continues to be a subject of intense criticism and debate although it is vital to patient outcomes and safety. The provision of quality nursing care for babies with gastroschisis immediately after birth is no exception. Gastroschisis is one of the commonest congenital anomalies increasing worldwide and Ghana is not excluded. Ghana records a high rate of newborn deaths from congenital anomalies such as gastroschisis. Studies revealed that proper nursing care immediately after birth is essential for the survival of babies with gastroschisis.
Objective: To assess the quality of immediate care after birth for babies with gastroschisis at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH).
Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was employed using a quantitative research approach. The study employed the census method to collect data from eighty-four (84) midwives working at the two labour wards of the KBTH. Data was captured in Epi data version 3.5 and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The quality of immediate nursing care after birth was determined by calculating the total mean values from the responses of the midwives and compared with the American College of Healthcare Sciences grading policy.
Results: The findings from this study showed that only 38% of the midwives provided immediate nursing care for babies delivered with gastroschisis that was rated high in quality care.
Conclusion: The quality of immediate care after birth for babies with gastroschisis at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital was low since the overall quality mean score was below the expected threshold of 60%
Life Cycle of a Low Mass Stars
Full text linkIn the present work, I shall explain the gravity mechanism and life cycle of a low mass Stars. For this purpose, some mathematical equations, and MATLAB Program could be used to draw the shape of a gravity as a dark fabric distortion in three dimensions under the stress of a Solar mass Stars from the Birth to Death. Stellar structure and evolution are acting directly on the distortion of a dark fabric matter and energy. The Gravity is acting directly on the Formation, Structure, and Evolution of a Solar Mass Stars. Dark Fabric Geometry was curved and distorted differently under the stress of an ordinary Stars like the Sun, and Compact Stars. White dwarfs and black dwarfs are two dense and compact stars where dark fabric is warping strongly under their stress. Dwarf star is other type of a low mass Stars where its mass is very low to produce energy from nuclear fusion at its Centre
Size at Maturity and Fecundity of Oreochromis niloticus and Mouth Brooding Tilapiines Indigenous to Kafue Flood Plain Fishery, Zambia.
Full text linkThe present investigation was conducted to ascertain whether or not Size at maturity, Fecundity, and Total Length-Fecundity variation could explain the population dominance of Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus 1758) over three spot breams Oreochromis andersonii (Castelnau 1861) and Green-Headed Bream Oreochromis macrochir (Boulenger 1912) in the Kafue Flood Plain during the spawning season (October 2020 to March 2021).
Fish samples caught using a full standard multifilament net with mesh sizes ranging from 25 to 150 mm increments of 12.5 mm were purchased from Local Fishermen at Chanyanya and Kasaka fishing camps. The Total length of each fish was recorded to the nearest 0.1 cm using the fish measuring board. Reproductive stages of the three Tilapiine fish species were determined using standard keys. Whole ovaries from sexually mature females (ripe) were weighed and preserved in 10% formalin solution; logistic regression lines were used to determine size at maturity (L50). Fecundity was determined using gravimetric procedures. The O. andersonii matured at a Total length of 210.98 mm, O. macrochir at 199.48 mm, while O. niloticus matured at 189.82 mm. The O andersonii had mean Fecundity of 1843.92 ± 68.805; O. macrochir had 1640.82 ± 92.164 while O. niloticus had 1422.24 ± 91.103. The relationship between Fecundity and Total length was found to be strongest in O. macrochir (y=12.845x-1175; r=0.8770), followed by O. niloticus (y = 12.912x – 1614.3; r=0.8104) and finally O. andersonii (y=10.715x-591.91; r=0.7606).
The studied characteristics among the Tilapiines indicated that O. niloticus was superior in reproductive biology. There should be proper guidelines in the laws and regulations regarding the introduction of O. niloticus into other water bodies. The O. niloticus must be promoted in aquaculture because of its reproductive advantages compared to the local Tilapiines

Finite Element Modal Analysis of Transient Water Flow in Aquifers
Full text linkIn this paper a modal superposition method is applied for the numerical modeling of aquifers. The proximity of aquifers to populated regions requires special care in their management to avoid problems that affect the quantity and quality of the water they supply. To contribute to the management of this type of natural resource, we propose a numerical strategy based on modal analysis using the finite element method. This procedure assist water production scenarios, performing the mass balance where water extraction is done through wells, in aquifers that are subject to natural recharge. This mathematical procedure is based on the modal superposition for transient flow in porous media. To evaluate its efficiency, this strategy was compared with the classical finite element method. The advantage of the proposed method resides in the possibility of reusing the properties of the global matrix of the finite element method in transient problems, for different production conditions given by the distributed recharge and by the water extraction rate from the wells, solving the numerical problem with a more efficient use of computational resources. This strategy is useful in studies of uncertainty quantification, history matching and optimization of water production in aquifers, since these types of analysis are resource intensive for the very large number of numerical simulations required for these scenarios
