SIMULASI PENANGANAN PENCILAN PADA ANALISIS REGRESI MENGGUNAKAN METODE LEAST MEDIAN SQUARE (LMS)

The simulation of handling of outliers on regression analysis used the method which was commonly used to predict the parameter in regression analysis, namely Least Median Square (LMS) due to the simple calculation it had. The data with outliers would result in unbiased parameter estimate. Hence, it was necessary to draw up the robust regression to overcome the outliers. The data used were simulation data of the number of data pairs ( X,Y) by 25 and 100 respectively. The result of the simulation was divided into 5 subsets of data cluster of parameter regression prediction by Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and Least Median Square (LMS) methods. The prediction result of the parameter of each method on each subset of data cluster was tested with both method to discover the which better one. Based on the research findings, it was found that The Least Median Square (LMS) method was known better than Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method in predicting the regression parameter on the data which had up to 3% of the percentage of the outlier

A Reconfigurable Color Reflector by Selective Phase Change of GeTe in a Multilayer Structure

It is shown that a phase change material (PCM), germanium telluride (GeTe), when integrated into a subwavelength layered optical cavity, can produce widely tunable reflective colors. It is shown that the crystallization temperature (Tx) of GeTe is dependent on the film thickness for thin films of less than â 20 nm, which is exploited for color tuning. Four colors from the same physical structure are demonstrated by electrical heating, through novel optical and thermal engineering of a thin film stack that includes two GeTe layers with only a single integrated joule heater element. The selective sensitivity to incident light angle and low polarization dependence, as well as the low static power consumption of this device make it a good candidate for potential consumer electronics applications.A subâ wavelength optical cavity consisting of multiple layers of germanium telluride (GeTe) is shown here to produce widely tunable reflective colors. The dependence of GeTe crystallization temperature on its film thickness is exploited to achieve four colors from the same physical multiâ layer structure. An integrated electrical heating approach is used to switch between different colors.Peer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/148263/1/adom201801214-sup-0001-S1.pdfhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/148263/2/adom201801214_am.pdfhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/148263/3/adom201801214.pd

The Poison Pen: Bedside Diagnosis of Urinary Diquat

Diquat is a bipyridyl herbicide with nephrotoxic effects. This in vitro study demonstrates a colorimetric test for detection of diquat in human urine. Urine specimens using ten concentrations of diquat herbicide solution and controls for urine and glyphosate were prepared. A two-step assay (addition of bicarbonate followed by sodium dithionite) was performed, with a resulting color change of the original solution for each specimen. Color change intensity was noted immediately and after 30 min, by gross visual inspection. A green color with concentration-dependent intensity was detected in all specimens, in which concentrations of diquat solution ranged from 0.73 to 730 mg/L. This colorimetric effect disappeared after 30 min. The sodium bicarbonate/dithionite test may be useful as a qualitative bedside technique for the detection of urinary diquat in the appropriate clinical setting

Renal oncocytoma: experience of Clinical Urology A, Urology Department, CHU Ibn Sina, Rabat, Morocco and literature review

Renal oncocytoma is a rare and benign renal tumor. Only few cases have been reported in Moroccan populations. In the present study, we reportour experiences in the diagnosis, management and follow-up of this disease. We report on six cases of renal oncocytoma indentified between 1990 and 2008 in the urology department of “CHU Ibn Sina” in Rabat. These six cases are listed among 130 kidney tumors reported during the study period. We assess the clinical, radiological and therapeutic features of the patients and we review literature. Six cases of renal oncocytoma,representing 4.6% of all primitive kidney tumors treated in our institution during the study period. The mean age was 53 ±9.7 years (range 34 to61 years). One patient was asymptomatic at presentation, five patients (83%) had flank pain and two (33%) had macroscopic hematuria. Thetumor was right sided in 4 cases (66%) and left sided in 2 cases (33%). All patients underwent CT scan which showed, in three cases, a centrallylocated stellate area of low attenuation. The clinical suspicion of  oncocytoma was made preoperatively in only 3 patients by imaging studies, but the suspicion of renal cell carcinoma persist and all patients were treated with radical nephrectomy. Definitive diagnosis was made in all cases postoperatively. All the tumors were well circumscribed but unencapsulated. The mean tumor size was 8,75±2,04 cm. Four patients were classified at stage pT2 and two at stage p T1. Most of the pathological features in our patients were typical of this entity.  Predominant cell type was a typical oncocytoma with general low mitotic activity. No extension to peri-nephric fat tissue or lymphovascular invasion was observed. After a mean follow-up of 36 months (range 26-62 months), there was neither recurrence nor death from oncocytoma. Accordingly, the disease-specific survival was 100%. Renal oncocytoma has a benign clinical course with excellent long-term outcomes. In our series, it happened mostly in females and is more frequently symptomatic. Although radical nephrectomy is the usual treatment, a conservative approach should be considered whenever there are signs of clinical and radiological presumptions.Key words: Renal oncocytoma, tumor, diagnosis, treatmen

Séminome Spermatocytaire: à Propos d’un Cas et Revue de La Littérature Spermatocytic Seminoma

Le séminome spermatocytaire est une tumeur rare, représentant moins de 2% des cancers du testicule, survenant essentiellement chez le sujet âgé. Nous rapportons une nouvelle observation d’un patient âgé de 48 ans. La tumeur se présentait comme une prolifération de cellules en nappescompactes, avec 3 types cellulaires, des cellules de petite taille, des cellules intermédiaires et des grandes cellules. Il n’a été retrouvé ni contingent sarcomateux, ni séminome classique. L’analyse en immun histochimie n’a retrouvé aucune expression des cellules tumorales pour les anticorpsclassiques testés, notamment l’Ac anti PLAP et les marqueurs lymphoïdes. Le séminome spermatocytaire doit être reconnu, car son évolution est très favorable et ne nécessite qu’une simple orchidectomie, en l’absence d’un exceptionnel contingent sarcomateux ou de métastase où une chimiothérapie s’impose

Genomics in premature infants: A non-invasive strategy to obtain high-quality DNA

We used a cost-effective, non-invasive method to obtain high-quality DNA from buccal epithelial-cells (BEC) of premature infants for genomic analysis. DNAs from BEC were obtained from premature infants with gestational age ≤ 36 weeks. Short terminal repeats (STRs) were performed simultaneously on DNA obtained from the buccal swabs and blood from the same patient. The STR profiles demonstrated that the samples originated from the same individual and exclude any contamination by external DNAs. Whole exome sequencing was performed on DNAs obtained from BEC on premature infants with and without necrotizing enterocolitis, and successfully provided a total number of reads and variants corroborating with those obtained from healthy blood donors. We provide a proof of concept that BEC is a reliable and preferable source of DNA for high-throughput sequencing in premature infants

Publisher Copyright: © 2023 by the authors.In this study, we report the design, synthesis, and catalytic application of the novel nitrogen-rich Zn(II) MOF [Zn2(μ3-1κN,2κN′,3κO-HL)2(DMF)2]n·nH2O (HL2− = 4-((4-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)phenyl)carbamoyl)benzoate), denoted as ZnMOF, for the efficient conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to cyclic carbonates via cycloaddition with epoxides. It was synthesised from a tetrazole appended amide-functionalised pro-ligand (H3L) and Zn(NO3)2·6H2O under hydrothermal conditions. The synthesised material was characterised namely by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The catalytic potential of ZnMOF was investigated in the CO2 cycloaddition reaction with various epoxides, with conversions ranging from 17% to 99%. The catalyst retained its activity across multiple reaction cycles, demonstrating its stability and reusability. The influence of co-catalysts on the reaction was explored, with tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBABr) emerging as the most effective one. A plausible reaction mechanism is proposed.publishersversionpublishe
