The effect of skin orientation on biomechanical properties / Nor Fazli Adull Manan and Jamaluddin Mahmud

Skin technology has become a world interest recently and further investigations could improve the current application of skin and leather. Aligning to this, a biomechanical analysis of animal skin is carried out, where the sheepskins are investigated thoroughly using uniaxial tensile tests. The main aim of this study is to compare the biomechanical properties of sheepskin in means of hair effect and orientation layout between horizontal and vertical orientation. The testing specimens are taken from the fresh slaughtered Boer sheepskin and they are prepared into four categories; horizontal (unshaved), horizontal (shaved), vertical (unshaved) and vertical (shaved) according to ASTM International Standard test method for tensile strength of leather (D2209). As a result, the characterisation techniques show that the Ogden s coefficient, μ and Ogden s exponent, α, are 0.369 (MPa) and 7.604 respectively for horizontal (unshaved). However, μ and a for horizontal (shaved) are 0.512 (MPa) and 8.930. In contrast, the value of μ and a for vertical (unshaved) are 0.444 (MPa) and 9.928 and for vertical (shaved) are 0.539 (MPa) and 10.617. This study has contributed to the knowledge of biomechanics especially biomechanical properties of sheepskin. This could be useful for future investigation and analysis of softtissues, hyperelastic modeling and animal dermatology

Effectiveness and comfort assessment of the novel intra-oral bisecting angle bisector© and paralleling rinn® digital imaging receptor holders in low palatal height patients / Afaf Syahira Ahmad Satmi … [et al.]

This study was performed to assess the effectiveness and comfort of two intraoral imaging techniques using respective digital radiograph receptor devices/holder in obtaining digital intraoral images. Methods: A total of 60 patients undergoing anterior intraoral periapical radiographs were single-blindly recruited. The imaging procedure was performed by two calibrated researchers where the novel holder group (Bisector©) was prospectively compared to the paralleling technique group, RINN® by performing thirty radiographic examinations, respectively. All patients were randomly segregated into different groups using block randomization method. The effectiveness of both holders was quantified based on the repeat rate percentage and quality of the images. The comfort study was enumerated using the Horizontal Visual Analogue Scale 100mm (HVAS). The Wilcoxon test (alpha = 0.05) was applied to compare the comfort score of different types of imaging receptor device reported by the patients. Results: The repeat rate percentage for Bisector© and RINN® holder devices were 8.9% and 18.6%, respectively (p<0.05). The median range of the "comfort data" according to conventional and novel intraoral radiographic receptor holder was 16 mm to 57 mm and 15 mm to 58 mm, respectively. No patients scored more than 74 mm. Conclusion: The Bisector© holder exhibited lower percentage of repeat as compared to the RINN® holder. Both groups did not cause major discomfort (mild-moderate pain). The use of novel intraoral bisecting angle radiographic receptor holder is however recommended to optimize the repeat rate in low palatal height patients

Analysis of Dryness Effect on Skin by Adapting Hyperelastic Constitutive Model / Nor Fazli Adull Manan ...[et al.]

The El Nino phenomenon can damage the skin and cause sickness such as skin cancer, heat stroke and heat exhaustion. Due to this phenomenon, an analysis on mechanical properties on animal skin is carried out, where sheepskin is used for investigation through uniaxial tensile test. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of varied temperature on mechanical properties of animal skin. The process consists of an integration between experimental and numerical approach. A uniaxial tensile test is performed first to measure the basic mechanical parameter of stress-stretch by following the ASTM D2209-00 International testing standard. Next, the hyperelastic constitutive model Arruda and Boyce (A&B) equation is simplified via numerical approach for finding the material parameter. Then, a graph of Stress – Stretch (σ-λ) is plotted for a curve fit with the experimental data to obtain the mechanical properties of the material parameter. As a result, the material parameter which are Arruda and Boyce coefficient, μ and Arruda and Boyce exponent, N are 4.967(MPa) and 3.116, respectively, for SL Temp 33. However, μ and N for SNL Temp 33 are 5.134 (MPa) and 2.357. In contrast, the value of the value of μ and N for SL Temp 36 are 4.943(MPa) and 2.728 and for SNL Temp 36 are 5.199(MPa) and 2.209 .Therefore, this study could be useful for future studies in analysis of skin by adapting hyperelastic constitutive model

Differentiation of ripe and unripe fruit flour using mineral composition data—Statistical assessment

Data on the mineral composition and content of one heavy metal measured in three different fruit flours prepared from ripe and unripe fruits (pulp and peel) are presented. The mineral composition (sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn)) and content of one heavy metal (lead (Pb)) of the flours were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The analysis showed that the data can be used for differentiation between different fruits and stages of ripeness, as revealed by discriminant analysis and cluster analysis. The data provided can be used by researchers and scientists in the differentiation of fruits based on major and minor mineral elements

iWorksafe: Towards Healthy Workplaces During COVID-19 With an Intelligent Phealth App for Industrial Settings

The recent outbreak of the novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) has given rise to diverse health issues due to its high transmission rate and limited treatment options. Almost the whole world, at some point of time, was placed in lock-down in an attempt to stop the spread of the virus, with resulting psychological and economic sequela. As countries start to ease lock-down measures and reopen industries, ensuring a healthy workplace for employees has become imperative. Thus, this paper presents a mobile app-based intelligent portable healthcare (pHealth) tool, called i WorkSafe, to assist industries in detecting possible suspects for COVID-19 infection among their employees who may need primary care. Developed mainly for low-end Android devices, the i WorkSafe app hosts a fuzzy neural network model that integrates data of employees’ health status from the industry’s database, proximity and contact tracing data from the mobile devices, and user-reported COVID-19 self-test data. Using the built-in Bluetooth low energy sensing technology and K Nearest Neighbor and K-means techniques, the app is capable of tracking users’ proximity and trace contact with other employees. Additionally, it uses a logistic regression model to calculate the COVID-19 self-test score and a Bayesian Decision Tree model for checking real-time health condition from an intelligent e-health platform for further clinical attention of the employees. Rolled out in an apparel factory on 12 employees as a test case, the pHealth tool generates an alert to maintain social distancing among employees inside the industry. In addition, the app helps employees to estimate risk with possible COVID-19 infection based on the collected data and found that the score is effective in estimating personal health condition of the app user
