Fish oil was extracted and simultaneously collected into six fractions based on molecular weight and the chain length of triglycerides in terms of fatty acid constituents without splitting of the triglycerides, using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) at optimized conditions of 40 MPa, 65°C, and a flow rate 3 mL min−1. In each type of fractio

This paper presents a study on a control system for a heavy-duty four Mecanum wheel platform. A mathematical model for the system is synthesized for the purpose of examining system behavior, including Mecanum wheel kinematics, AC servo motor, gearbox, and heavy duty load. The system is tested for velocity control, using model predictive control (MP

This book is an introduction to statistical mechanics suitable for readers knowing basic measure theory. The mathematical prerequisites are summarized in Chapter 1. It is hoped the reader will be ready to tackle research papers after reading the book. The first part of the text (Chapters 2-4) is concerned with 1-D Ising model. Some examples are des

Analysis of cells is important for medical research and pharmaceuticalindustry. This paper presents a new technique for sorting blood cellson a bio-analysis platform that combines the magnetophoretic force andhydrodynamic force as the means of cell manipulation. The integra-tion of these two techniques can improve on-chip sorting ability whichcould

Purpose: Currently there were many treatments available to treat cancer patients, for instance chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immune therapy, and many more. Unfortunately, advancement in cancer therapy has resulted in increasing numbers of survivors which left to deal with side effects of their treatments. Therefore, discovery of alternative trea

Porcupine bezoar (PB) previously reported to possess various medical properties, however there is no information on its potential anticancer effect on human cancer cells. In this study we investigate potential apoptotic effects induced by PB extracts in A549 cells and elucidate the underlying mechanism. Our study revealed that PB reduced the viabil

Persons with disabilities remain as one of the vulnerable groups who often been discriminated against and marginalised from the mainstream development programmes in almost all societies. Being a disadvantaged group, they suffer from social exclusion, denied the basic rights and freedoms enjoyed by everyone else and being deprived of the opportuniti

Günümüzde, özellikle sosyal bilimler alanındaki birçok araştırmacı ve uz¬man, 14. yüzyıl Müslüman alimi İbn Haldun’un fikirlerine büyük bir ilgi göster¬mekte ve onun katkılarını çeşitli açılardan incelemektedir. Ancak, İbn Haldun’un eğitimle ilgili görüşleri hakkındaki çalışmalar henüz gelişim aşamasında o

Human nature, values, and human existence and development are all intertwined in the notion of Maqāṣid al-Sharīʽah, which supports the well-being of humans, including those with mental health concerns. The high degree of mental health difficulties among students, such as severe stress and depressive symptoms, not only impact their academic per

The occurrence of asynchronous breathing (AB) is prevalent during mechanical ventilation (MV) treatment. Despite studies being carried out to elucidate the impact of AB on MV patients, the asynchrony index, a metric to describe the patient-ventilator interaction, may not be sufficient to quantify the severity of each AB fully in MV patients. This r
