Formulation of Foundation Makeup (Liquid) Using D-Optimal Mixture Design

Formulation of foundation makeup (liquid) was performed using Doptimal mixture design. Design expert software 7.0 was used to set up D-optimal mixture design and 15 formulations were conducted. Each formulation was judged its properties of pH, viscosity, and skin irritation to obtain the most appropriate composition. The optimum formulation of foundation makeup (liquid) was 227.43 ml of deionized water (DI), 1.40 g of carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC), 4.37 g of triethanolamine (TEA), 20.94 g of propanediol (PD), 31.84 g of titanium dioxide (TiO2), 5.25 g of iron oxide (Fe3O4), 7.0 g of kaolin (Kao), 1.40 g of methyl paraben (MP), 34.97 ml of mineral oil (MO), 5.25 g of stearic acid (SA), 8.75 g of glyceryl monosterate (GMS) and 1.40 g of propyl paraben (PP) based on its properties of pH 6.93, 1722.3cP of viscosity and 0 of skin irritation. Regarding the evaluation sheet performed by the Hedonic scale test, satisfactory scores of foundation makeup (liquid) was 7.4 out of 9

Interference Analysis of Medium Voltage Air Line 20 KV Feeder Using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis Method

This article discusses the interference analysis of medium voltage air line 20 kv feeder using failure mode and effects analysis method. The distribution network consists of two parts, the first the distribution network consists of two parts, the first is the medium / primary voltage (JTM) network, which supplies electrical power from the sub-transmission substation to the distribution substation, the primary distribution network uses three wires or four wires for three phases. the impact of the reliability index from the calculation of the impact of the reliability index based on the number of disturbances (SAIFI), it shows that in January 2019 it has the highest index value, namely SAIFI, 1,695 disturbances/ subscribers. From the results of the calculation of the impact of the reliability index based on the number of blackouts (SAIDI), it shows that in January 2019 the SAIDI index value was 3,883 hours/customer

Water properties in the Suva Lagoon, Fiji

The salinity, temperature and turbidity in the lagoon are some important parameters for water quality which are continuously changing with the seasons and need to be studied because they are efficient indicators of variations in the lagoon and can transform the marine ecosystem. Results obtained showed that the salinity near the head of Laucala Bay during the wet-warm season was below 24.8 psu and was 33.7 psu during the drycool season. The temperature range for the Suva Lagoon during the wet-warm season was between 28.0–30.5 °C and between 24.5–25.5 °C during the dry-cool season. The turbidity in the lagoon was always above 3.0 FTU near the river mouths. The model salinity distribution compared well with the observed distribution from field data after the model was validated for salinity distribution

Comparison on the cell abundance of benthic dinoflagellates in macrophytes and water column collected from open coastal waters and semi-enclosed lagoon

Benthic dinoflagellates are known to occur in the water column. The reason they can be found in different parts of the ecosystem is not clear. This study aims to determine the species and the cell abundance of benthic dinoflagellates in the water column and macrophytes collected from two different locations i.e. semi-enclosed lagoon and open coastal waters. The physico-chemical parameters (temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen) and nutrients (nitrate and phosphate) were determined. Results showed that in the lagoon, the most abundant dinoflagellate species on the macrophytes was also the most abundant dinoflagellate species in the water column. The species that dominated the water column and marophytes in the lagoon was Bysmatrum caponii. In the coastal area the trend was not clear. Coolia dominated the macrophytes whereas Peridinium quinquecorne dominated the water column. The physico-chemical parameters determined were similar at both sites except for nutrients. Results show that type of substrates and different geomorphology effects benthic dinoflagellates cell abundance in the macrophytes and water column

Capacity building of sea level and climate monitoring in the Pacific region: Fiji case study

In order to enhance capacity building in the Pacific region, and to raise awareness on climate change and sea level issues, teaching and training modules were made available to the Pacific community through the “South pacific sea level and climate monitoring project” funded by AusAID. Numerous training workshops have been conducted through the project since its inception in 1991 and the project is now in its fourth and final phase. It was hoped that the goals of capacity building for the stakeholders on correct information of climate change and sea level have been understood and taken heed of. In addition, “The scientific educational resources and experience associated with the deployment of Argo” (SEREAD) project was also set up especially for ocean science in the Pacific island schools in 2001. However, it has been realized that the data from this project is more relevant to tertiary level rather than to secondary level students. Consequently, a survey was carried out to gauge the students’ outlook towards the physical side of marine science. The survey revealed that more than 80% of both tertiary level and high school non-physical science students decided not to take the physical aspect of marine science sighting reasons that it is either a difficult subject, boring, too hard to understand or difficult to pass in the examination. Even amongst students taking physical science, only about 50% believe that the physical aspect of marine science is enjoyable. A minority of students at USP and high school take science as a subject and a small proportion from them take the physical science. From this scenario, it can be predicted that there will be a shortage of physical science graduates in the future. The confidence of the Pacific community in the work of scientists is built on faith. They appreciate the effect of science on their lives and support it but are unaware of the scientific methods involved. Therefore, for the sustainability of physical aspect of marine science in the future for the Pacific region, public awareness of climate change and sea level is vitally important and it should be widely promoted in the community as a matter of urgency

Clinical Profile of Intermediate Syndrome in Organophosphate Poisoning
