Our group plans to conduct an isolation experiment with at least 2 participants confined to a room for a period of time. We will interview the participants periodically to understand how the confinement is affecting their mood and psychological state. The goal is to observe the effects of isolation on the individuals.
This document describes the development of eco-friendly ant chalk and mosquito mats made from coconut shell oil. Coconut shell oil was extracted from coconut shells through indirect burning and contains phenolic compounds. Ant chalk was created by mixing coconut shell oil with lime, clay, and water. Mosquito mats were produced using a mixture of coconut shell oil, cow dung, fenugreek, and water. Testing showed the ant chalk and mosquito mats were very effective at repelling ants and mosquitoes without toxic chemicals. The products were inexpensive to produce from agricultural waste materials.
This document describes a study that generated and verified VHDL code for a modified repetitive controller to control a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) power quality conditioner. The controller is designed to limit fault current during downstream faults and compensate for voltage sags, harmonics, and imbalances. The MATLAB HDL Coder was used to generate VHDL code from a MATLAB model of the repetitive controller. The generated code was then verified in the Modelsim simulator, demonstrating the controller design's hardware compatibility for implementation in an FPGA. The repetitive controller incorporates a feedforward term for fast response and feedback term to ensure zero steady-state error. A logic circuit detects downstream faults by monitoring load current.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help boost feelings of calmness, happiness and focus.
This study evaluated the effectiveness of low-cost biosorbents for removing methylene blue dye from aqueous solutions. Coconut fiber, banana fiber, and sawdust were tested individually and in combinations under stirring and stagnant conditions. The results showed that sawdust removed 99% of dye under stirring and 99.5% under stagnation. Continuous addition of biosorbents removed more dye (99%) than batch or fed-batch methods. A mixed biosorbent of sawdust, banana fiber, and coconut fiber removed over 98% of dye from solutions with concentrations up to 0.4 mg/mL. Lengthy coconut fibers removed 99.5% of dye within 48 hours under stagnant conditions.

This study investigated the influence of hospital safety climate on patient satisfaction and nursing care quality. Data was collected from nurses and patients at an Egyptian emergency hospital using questionnaires on safety climate, patient satisfaction, and quality of nursing care. The results found that 50% of respondents reported a low safety climate score and only 29.5% of patients were highly satisfied. Nurses reported that the quality of care was low for 69% of patients. A significant relationship was found between safety climate and both patient satisfaction and nursing care quality. The study concluded that improving the hospital safety climate can positively influence patient outcomes like satisfaction and quality of care.
Anthem learned three key lessons from implementing their employee idea program SoapBox: 1) Choosing the right people to administer the program and promptly implement ideas is crucial to success, even if it takes more time; 2) Plans will likely need to evolve, so maintaining flexibility is important; 3) Actively listening to employee ideas, including less popular ones, can provide valuable insights about problems to address.

The document discusses plotting the electric field between two parallel plates with opposite charges. It uses ListPlot3D to plot the electric potential V between the plates, showing the potential drops from +1 V on one plate to -1 V on the other. It also uses ListPlot3D to plot the x and y components of the electric field, Ex and Ey. Finally, it visualizes the electric field vectors between the plates using ListVectorPlot and ListStreamPlot with Ex and Ey.
This document presents a new technique for high voltage power transmission using a beam of conductors. It describes developing a mathematical model and numerical simulation to analyze the complex dynamics when such a beam is subjected to electromagnetic forces during a short circuit. These can cause the sub-conductors in the beam to choke and impact each other. The summary develops a finite element model incorporating the electrical connections between sub-conductors and nonlinear contact behavior. It then describes implementing the model in software to simulate the dynamic behavior and validate it against experimental results.
This document discusses using a wireless sensor network to remotely monitor crops in agriculture. It proposes a prototype model developed in Qualnet simulator that uses static sensor nodes to measure soil moisture, temperature, humidity and detect pests/diseases. The sensor data is transmitted to a base station and then to a farmer's phone. Simulations tested both random and grid deployment patterns of sensor nodes. The network aims to help farmers efficiently manage resources and crop growth through real-time monitoring of field conditions.
This document summarizes the impact of biotechnology on marine fungal diversity. It discusses how marine fungi have adapted to live in extreme environments like deep sea hydrothermal vents and how their unique adaptations could be applied biotechnologically. Specifically, it explores the potential for novel enzymes and bioactive compounds from marine fungi associated with marine algae, invertebrates, sediments, and extreme environments. While terrestrial fungi have been more widely applied, further investigation of marine fungal species is needed to unlock their full potential for biotechnology applications like industrial enzyme production, pharmaceuticals, and bioremediation.

The document presents a study that used GIS to create geotechnical maps showing bearing capacity and groundwater quality for Al-Imam district in Iraq. Data from 17 test wells up to 10m deep was entered into ArcGIS. The maps showed that bearing capacity generally increased with depth and traveling north, ranging from 2.01 to 16.9 ton/m^2. Groundwater pH ranged from 7.6 to 8.2, indicating alkaline conditions. The maps provide a tool for engineers to preliminarily assess soil properties and aid in foundation design and number of building floors.
The document discusses the antibacterial activities of nitro olefins derived from Friedel-Crafts reactions on Baylis-Hillman adducts. It finds that all tested nitro olefins showed higher effectiveness at inhibiting the growth of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) than the antibiotic vancomycin. The nitro olefins were most effective against hospital-acquired MRSA and MSSA infections where antibiotics may not be readily available. It also examines the antibacterial mechanisms and minimum inhibitory concentrations of synthesized benzoxepine derivatives, finding that compounds 2f and 2d were most effective at inhibiting
