Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Nanosilicates from Kenyan Indigenous Microporous Clay
Get PDFThis study reports the synthesis of novel sodium nanosilicates extracted from locally available Kenyan clay. The synthetic method involved thermal calcination of the clay at 1000 0C followed by alkaline extraction with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) at 75 0C. The calcination temperature of 1000 0C was ideal for enhancing the conversion of silica components and decreasing the alumina components by making them soluble in the extracting base. Different concentrations of extraction medium (NaOH) were evaluated. The clay and the synthesized nanosilicates were characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy, Field emission scanning, and transmission electron microscopy (FESEM & FETEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). 20% (w/v) NaOH was found to be the most appropriate concentration as revealed by XRF and EDS data which showed better silica content.

Whereas there was no significant correlation between vitamin C intake (p = 0.702), nutritional status (p = 0.711), and pocket money (p = 0.340) with the incidence of anemia among female students in SMA Negeri I Jayapura in 2018
Clinicopathological Characteristics of high and low-grade Ovarian Serous Carcinoma
Get PDFOvarian cancer is the third most common gynecologic malignancy worldwide, after cervical cancer and endometrial cancer, but it has the highest mortality-to-incidence ratio of the three, indicating that it is fatal. Serous carcinoma is divided into two subtypes: low-grade serous carcinoma (LGSC) and high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC). The purpose of this descriptive study is to determine the clinical characteristics of LGSC and HGSC patients based on five parameters: age, patient\u27s chief complaint, tumor location, FIGO staging, and metastasis. For the period January 2017 to December 2021, 167 samples were collected based on histopathological data from three anatomical pathology laboratories in Makassar, consisting of 47 LGSC samples and 120 HGSC samples. The findings revealed that the most common age in LGSC and HGSC was 40-60 years (70.21% in LGSC and 70.83 percent in HGSC), and the most common chief complaint was abdominal enlargement (95.74% in LGSC and 94.17% in HGSC). LGSC is most commonly unilateral (53.20%), stage I-II (57.45%, and not metastatic (59.57%). In HGSC, it was most commonly bilateral (55%), 82 (68.33%) were diagnosed at stage III-IV, and most had metastases to the omentum (62.50%). In both types of tumors, the omentum is the most common site of tumor metastasis.

Growth and Yield of Open Pollinated Young Corn (Zea mayz Linn.) as Influenced by Different Levels of Mykovam® Bio-fertilizer
Get PDFMykovam® bio-fertilizer was tested to evaluate the effects and performance on the growth and yield of open-pollinated variety (OPV) young corn. The result of the study showed that OPV corn fertilized with mixed Mykovam®, and inorganic fertilizer at one-half recommended rate, (T5) has the highest plant height of 282.40 cm, and the number of leaves at 50 days after planting (DAP) but did not differ significantly with T4 fertilized plants. The number of days to tasseling and silking was shorter in T4 and T5 OPV corn plants at 57 days and got the highest number of corn ears per plant of 1.37 and 1.57, respectively. The average weight of corn cobs, ten samples per treatment was recorded at T5 (1/2 RR Mykovam® + ½ RR Inorganic) with a mean value of 1.23 kg followed by Treatment 4 applied with the recommended rate of chemical fertilizer with 1.07 kg of weight. The shortest plants, the lowest number of corn leaves, the highest number of days to tasseling and silking, and the least corn ears/plant were from the unfertilized plot (T0) which did not differ statistically with plants fertilized with Mykovam® bio-fertilizer.
Mykovam bio-fertilizer application can help in reducing the amount of inorganic fertilizer but the lone application of Mykovam® bio-fertilizer on OPV corn has less effect due to the shorter period of study and considering the soil has low phosphorous based on the result of soil analysis. Economic analysis showed the highest yield of young cobs was recorded in T5 (1/2 RR Mykovam® + ½ RR Inorganic), while the lowest net income was obtained in T2 applied with 500 kg/ha of Mykovam® bio-fertilizer
Mixture method to estimate baseline hazard for non-arbitrary function of the Cox proportional model
Get PDFThis study is extended to the work that was published by (Hamad & Kachouie, 2019). In this paper, a mixture method was used to estimate the Gompertz distribution parameters using hazard and cumulative hazard functions. This mixture method depends on the two different models (semi-parametric model, and nonparametric model). Cox proportional hazard model and Kaplan Meier used to estimate the Gompertz distribution parameters. The parameters of the logistic function (RHS) in the Cox proportional hazard can be estimated by the partial likelihood method. The hazard function (LHS) in the Cox model can be estimated by Kaplan Meier. The estimated parametric of the logistic function combined with the nonparametric estimate of the survival function by Kaplan Meier in order to get an estimate of the baseline hazard for Gompertz distribution. Improvement was archived in the estimated parameters of the baseline hazard using the mixture method compared to the use of the Cox method. The improvement of the mixture method was measured based on the estimated parameters for the baseline hazard as well as by the model goodness of fit. Different data types (simulation and real data) were used to measure the improvement of the mixture method. Monte Carlo simulations were carried out for evaluating the proposed method’s performance. The results showed that the mixture method provided a better estimate value of the baseline and the model parameters compared to the estimated values using the Cox model
