Shear Force Fiber Spinning: Process Parameter and Polymer Solution Property Considerations

For application of polymer nanofibers (e.g., sensors, and scaffolds to study cell behavior) it is important to control the spatial orientation of the fibers. We compare the ability to align and pattern fibers using shear force fiber spinning, i.e. contacting a drop of polymer solution with a rotating collector to mechanically draw a fiber, with electrospinning onto a rotating drum. Using polystyrene as a model system, we observe that the fiber spacing using shear force fiber spinning was more uniform than electrospinning with the rotating drum with relative standard deviations of 18% and 39%, respectively. Importantly, the approaches are complementary as the fiber spacing achieved using electrospinning with the rotating drum was ~10 microns while fiber spacing achieved using shear force fiber spinning was ~250 microns. To expand to additional polymer systems, we use polymer entanglement and capillary number. Solution properties that favor large capillary numbers (\u3e50) prevent droplet breakup to facilitate fiber formation. Draw-down ratio was useful for determining appropriate process conditions (flow rate, rotational speed of the collector) to achieve continuous formation of fibers. These rules of thumb for considering the polymer solution properties and process parameters are expected to expand use of this platform for creating hierarchical structures of multiple fiber layers for cell scaffolds and additional applications

OPTIMIZATION OF ACCESS POINT ARRANGEMENT AND PLACEMENT IN THE INDOOR ROOM OF SMP NEGERI 6 SALATIGA USING GENETIC ALGORITHM

Access points are generally only recommended to load up to 40 clients only. Thus, proper placement and arrangement of access points in a room or building can optimize the signal strength received by users. The purpose of this study is to optimize the arrangement and placement of access points built using the genetic algorithm method. In the system built, the user is required to input the number of populations, iterations and the number of nodes 1 and 2. In the program implementation, the population functions to load the genes resulting from the possible placement of the access point based on the iteration results. The access point placement optimization system using the genetic algorithm method has been successfully implemented, the system can perform calculations in processing the ideal access point placement. Access point placement using genetic algorithms can provide recommendations for network architecture design in terms of the coverage area that needs to be used so that designers can save time on node point design and estimate the ideal price in determining the number of access points for network installation and can assist in determining the required coverage area. ideal for schools

The Effect of Intercultural Interaction on the Glocalization of Döner Kebab

Intercultural communication has grown in significance as a result of globalization. By influencing the cultural diversity of goods and services globally, this process has helped to recognize and spread local cultures on a global scale. In this context, glocalization is an example of cross-cultural interaction involving a global product like döner kebab. The döner kebab is a well-known fast-food item that is consumed in various local adaptations in every country, reflecting the rich diversity of cultural traditions and culinary preferences. In addition to emphasizing the subjective experiences, such as taste, smell, and tactile sensations that shape our worldviews from a phenomenological perspective, this article highlights the entry of döner kebab into the process of glocalization through cross-cultural interaction. Therefore, we can better comprehend the intricate interaction between global and local cultures by looking at the sensory experiences of döner kebab during the glocalization process. The case analysis method demonstrates how döner kebab consumption varies by nation and how adaptation affects local culture. The success of döner kebab's glocalization through cross-cultural interaction exemplifies how cultural differences and new culinary traditions are created. An essential framework for comprehending sensory experiences during the consumption and adaptation of döner kebab is provided by phenomenology and case analysis. By highlighting the significance of considering consumers' subjective experiences and the sensory aspects of food in forming global food culture, this approach is helpful in understanding the complex interactions of globalization in the food industry

KONSEP DAKWAH TERHADAP SAUDARA BARU (MUALLAF) DI PERSATUAN KEBAJIKAN ISLAM MALAYSIA (PERKIM) TAHUN 2006 - 2010

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal lebih jauh tentang pendekatan dakwah terhadap para muaallaf di PERKIM. Dua metode utama yang digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah field research dan library research [ kajian lapangan dan kajian pustaka ] , sementara metode deduktif dan induktif digunakan untuk menganalisis data. Didalam kajian ini ditemukan adanya pendekatan dakwah terhadap muaalaf di PERKIM kepada masyarakat pedalaman dan suku – suku lain selain Melayu, seperti Cina dan India melalui program yang dibawa oleh PERKIM dan dibantu oleh Majlis Agama Islam di seluruh negeri dan lembaga sosial kemasyarakatan (NGO) yang lain. Kajian ini juga bertujuan menggali secara mendalam persepsi responden mengenai status program dakwah terhadap muaallaf yang mereka ikuti di PERKIM. Kajian ini melibatkan beberapa orang muaallaf dan beberapa orang pegawai di PERKIM. Hasil kajian menunjukkan kebanyakan responden terdiri dari masyarakat pribumi, Cina, India dan suku – suku yang lain. Sejumlah 76% responden yang memeluk Islam adalah wanita. Kajian juga menunjukkan bahwa program dakwah terhadap muaallaf di PERKIM memang ada dengan hasil memuaskan. Aspek lain yang perlu diberi perhatian lebih besar adalah kenyamanan tempat belajar, kemampuan para da’i dalam menguasai berbagai bahasa asing terutama Arab dan Inggris, dan beberapa aspek isi kandungan pelajaran dasar Agama Islam seperti Fiqh,Tauhid, Akhlak dan Sirah Nabi diberikan kepada muaallaf yang baru memeluk agama Islam

An analysis of studies on non-small cell lung cancer registered on clinical trials registry of India

Background: Lung cancer is the most common cancer in males, of which non-small cell type is more prevalent. It is an active area of research owing to the limited available treatment modalities with several studies registered on CTRI. Objectives of current study was to analyse randomized control trials for non-small cell lung cancer registered on clinical trial registry India.Methods: Studies registered on CTRI were reviewed in this registry-based audit using the keywords lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Parameters such as type of study, nature of intervention, phase of study, primary and secondary endpoints used, etc, were analysed and summarised using descriptive statistics in Microsoft Excel 365.Results: Out of 230 trials for lung cancer, 121 studied non-small cell lung cancer, of which 103 studies (85.1%) were interventional studies. Most common intervention under study was drug 97 studies (94.2%) followed by radiation 4 studies (3.3%). Majority of trials were phase 3, 48 trials (39.7%) and only 4 (3.3%) studies were phase 1.
