    Values of the PMO parameters (including the velocity-dependent parameter) are obtained for the ground state of the three isotopic molecules H(, 2), HD and D(, 2) using two approaches. In the first approach, iteration computations are used to evaluate the different parameters from the experimentally derived Dunham coefficients. In the second approach, the PMO parameters are obtained by fitting the experimental energies directly in terms of the model parameters. The second approach is preferred to the first due to inaccuracies in the empirical Dunham coefficients.The nonadiabatic corrections calculated using the present method for H(, 2) and D(, 2) are in agreement with those obtained using alternative methods. Moreover the present method proves very successful in predicting eigenvalues for HD which are in a very good agreement with the experimental ones.The perturbed Morse oscillator is modified by adding a velocity-dependent term to allow for the nonadiabatic correction due to the breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. A recurrence formula for this velocity-dependent term is derived. This formula is then used to derive--via a perturbation calculation--explicit expressions for the Dunham coefficients which include the nonadiabatic corrections

    Following a review of the literature describing the bone health of children, teenagers and young people with leukaemia, this thesis is comprised of two main parts. The first part describes a retrospective review of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) who were recruited into the national study, UKALL 2003. This reports upon the UK prevalence of symptomatic osteonecrosis (ON) in young people with ALL, assessing the chronology of development of symptoms and subsequent diagnosis. This study also evaluated risk factors for the development of ON, and determined the joints most commonly affected. The surgical and medical management of patients is described, with a review of long-term outcomes of patients. This is the largest single UK study reporting symptomatic ON in childhood ALL, providing long term follow up data of patients. The overall prevalence of symptomatic ON was calculated to be 5.5%. Age at diagnosis of ALL significantly affected risk of development of ON, with the highest risk in those aged between 10 and 20 years at diagnosis of ALL. Affected patients had a high rate of surgical intervention, with hip replacements in 26% of patients. Core decompression was performed in 30% of hips affected by ON but we found no significant difference in femoral head survival between those patients who had core decompression compared with conservative management The second part of this thesis describes the establishment and interim findings of the British OsteoNEcrosis Study, a prospective longitudinal cohort study of patients aged 10-25 years diagnosed with ALL or lymphoblastic lymphoma. This is the first multi-centre prospective study using MRI imaging for assessment of asymptomatic ON in the UK, and combines physiotherapy assessment with imaging and biochemical results. The results suggest osteonecrotic lesions develop between induction and start of maintenance chemotherapy, with the majority of patients developing multiple asymptomatic osteonecrotic lesions by the start of maintenance chemotherapy

    Learning evaluation is the process of measuring and assessing learning activities, in this case the teacher measures and assesses students using test instruments. This study aims to present the results of the evaluation of bold learning using objective test instruments and explanations. This study uses a descriptive approach approach. Sources of data in this study were grade VII students of SMP Negeri 1 Tlanakan. Data collection techniques were carried out by observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique used qualitative analysis, namely data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results of data analysis in this study indicate that the implementation of the test instrument boldly in class VII students at SMP Negeri 1 Tlanakan is more dominantly effective using the description test. This is because by using the description test students are easier and develop their knowledge with their own reasoning. There are three obstacles for students in implementing objective and objective tests, namely (1) problems in terms of working on questions, this is due to students' misunderstandings in learning challenges, (2) constraints during implementation, students cannot ask questions that are not explained clearly. directly to the teacher, and (3) network or internet connection problems for students who live in remote areas.Evaluasi pembelajaran yaitu proses pengukuran dan penilaian terhadap kegiatan pembelajaran, dalam hal ini guru mengukur dan menilai siswa dengan menggunakan instrumen tes.

    Citra digital dapat digunakan sebagai media penyampaian informasi. Citra kaya dengan informasi. Seringkali citra mengalami penurunan kualitas disebabkan adanya derau (noise). Dalam pengolahan citra digital derau (noise) merupakan gangguan yang disebabkan oleh menyimpangnya data digital yang diterima oleh alat penerima data gambar. Saat ini terdapat banyak metode untuk mengurangi derau pada citra digital yaitu dengan melakukan penapisan (filtering), diantaranya teknik filter batas (min-max), filter pererataan, dan filter median. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan perbandingan sejauh mana kualitas citra yang dihasilkan dari ketiga teknik penapisan citra tersebut. Citra yang akan difilter terlebih dahulu diberi noise aditif sebanyak 5%, 10% dan 15%, setelah itu dilakukan proses penapisan. Pengukuran hasil penapisan citra digital dilakukan dengan menggunakan MSE dan PSNR. Dari hasil pengukuran yang dilakukan terlihat bahwa semakin besar nilai MSE, maka kualitas citra menjadi semakin buruk. Di sisi lain semakin besar nilai PSNR semakin baik pula kualitas citra tersebut. Dari hasil pengukuran diperlihatkan bahwa teknik filter median merupakan teknik penapisan yang paling baik, disusul dengan teknik pererataan dan filter batas

    Background: Bronchiolitis is one of the most common respiratory diseases requiring hospitalization. Nebulized epineph­rine and salbutamol therapy has been used in different centres with varying results. Objective: The objective of the study was to compare the efficacy of nebulised adrenaline diluted with 3% hypertonic saline with nebulised adrenaline diluted with normal saline in bronchiolitis. Methods: Fifty three infants and young children with bronchiolitis, age ranging from 2 months to 2 years, presenting in the emergency department of Manikganj Sadar Hospital were enrolled in the study. After initial evaluation, patients were randomized to receive either nebulized adrenaline I .5 ml ( 1.5 mg) diluted with 2 ml of3% hypertonic saline (group I) ornebulised adrenaline 1.5 ml (1.5 mg) diluted with 2 ml of normal saline (group II). Patients were evaluated again 30 minutes after nebulization. Results: Twenty eight patients in the group I (hypertonic saline) and twenty five in groupII (normal saline) were included in the study. After nebulization, mean respiratory rate decreased from 63.7 to 48.1 (p<.01), mean clinical severity score decreased from 8.5 to 3.5 (p<.01) and mean oxygen satw·ation increased 94.7% to 96.9% (p<.01) in group I. In group II, mean respiratory rate decreased from 62.4 to 47.4 (p<.01), mean clinical severity score decreased from 7.2 to 4.1 (p<.01) and mean oxygen saturation increased from 94. 7% to 96. 7% (p<.01). Mean respiratory rate decreased by 16 in group I versus 14.8 (p>.05) in group 11, mean clinical severity score decreased by 4.6 in group versus 3 (p<.05) in group, and mean oxygen saturation increased by 2.2% and 1.9% in group and group respectively. Difference in reduction in clinical severity score was statistically significant , though the changes in respiratory rate and oxygen saturation were not statistically significant. Conclusion: The study concluded that both nebulised adrenaline diluted with 3% hypertonic saline and nebulised adrenaline with normal saline are effective in improving respiratory rate, clinical severity score and oxygen saturation in infants with bronchiolitis; and nebulised adrenaline with hypertonic saline is more effective than nebulised adrenaline with normal saline in improving clinical severity score in bronchiolitis
