Bilinear model factor decomposition: A general mixture analysis tool

The analysis of mixtures is a routine task in the analytical chemistry area as well as in other research fields. The objective is to identify, quantify, and interpret the chemical components of the mixtures. Various bilinear factor decomposition methods, including MCR-ALS, NMFand BNFA, have been proposed to solve this problem. However, there is little knowledge about their comparative performance in terms of different factors, such as solution reliability, calculation speed, convergence, flexibility in constraint implementation, and ease of results interpretation.To address these issues, this work aims to compare these methods using data examples from data simulations, environmental source apportionment studies, and chromatographic analysis of chemical mixtures. Through this comparison, we hope to gain insights into the strengths and weaknesses of each method and provide recommendations for researchers working in this field. This comprehensive comparison will help researchers choose the appropriate method for their specific analysis needs, ultimately leading to more accurate and efficient analysis.

State and development of anaerobic technology for biogas production in Syria

The last few decades have seen an increase in the use of Biogas technology around the world. As a result, the advantages of domestic biogas digesters has become more tangible. In the developing world, however, its use has not been yet utilized on a large scale. In this study, we evaluate the productivity of different small-scale biogas installations in Syria in terms of different factors, including temperature, pH, different values of adding cow's manure and hydraulic retention time. We find that these factors can provide a useful adviser for specialists engaged in spreading of household biogas. Consequently, we highlight the need to disseminate biogas technology as a renewable energy source in the countryside, which form a big challenge for the application of biogas technology in the country. We believe that dissemination will solve the problem of rural supply of biogas and reduce the dependence on timber, thus contributing to better environmental protection in Syria. • Biogas technology has led to the adoption of many household biogas reactors. • In the developing world, biogas has only been slightly utilized, due to its effectiveness uncertainty. • We evaluate the productivity of small biogas installations in Syria based on many factors. • These factors provide a useful source for specialists in spreading of household biogas. • Disseminating biogas technology in Syria can help improve environmental protection.

A Cumulative Approach on Rare Case of Infantile Tremor Syndrome

Infantile Tremor Syndrome (ITS) is categorically determined as a self-limiting clinical presentation which is characterized by anaemia, tremors, pigmentary skin disease, muscular hypotonia, and mental development regression. The presenting tremors are coarse in nature which are either decreased or vanished during sleep and takes 4-6 weeks duration for complete resolution following its natural course. The aetiology for ITS has been hypothesized for various factors like metabolic, infectious, nutritional but remained inconclusive for effective statement. But the precipitation is on the developing deficiency of Vitamin B12 but it remained controversial in terms of different factors. As the aetiology remained undefined, the line of treatment for children with ITS has been considered as per the treatment for undernourished child which included nutritional management with external supplementation of trace elements like iron, magnesium, calcium, vitamin B12 along with other such multivitamins. The administration of tremors is most commonly managed with the administration of propranolol or phenytoin, phenobarbitone, and carbamazepine. An 8 months old male child was brought by parents with complaints of fever since 8 days, decreased appetite and vomiting since 3 days. The course of hospital followed by physiotherapy which helped in regaining the normal functional activity of the baby.

The effect of an AC electric field on the dielectric properties of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 ceramic

The dynamic dielectric response of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3 )O3 ceramic was experimentally studied as a function of the EAC amplitude field. An increase in real dielectric permittivity was obtained by increasing the applied electrical field within the investigated temperature range for frequencies below 10 kHz. The temperature of maximum dielectric permittivity and freezing temperature decreased with an increase in E AC. Nonlinear permittivity was studied and found to behave similarly to freezing temperature. A statistical model was used to fit the dielectric dispersion of real dielectric permittivity with temperature and frequency. The results are discussed in terms of different factors’ contributions to dielectric permittivity under different EAC field conditions.

Predictors of Patient Satisfaction in Spine Surgery: A Systematic Review

Recently, there has been increased interest in patient satisfaction measures such as Press Ganey and Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) surveys. In this systematic review, the spine surgery literature is analyzed to evaluate factors predictive of patient satisfaction as measured by these surveys. A thorough literature search was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases. All English-language articles from database inception to July 2020 were screened for study inclusion according to PRISMA guidelines. Twenty-four of the 1899 published studies were included for qualitative analysis. There has been a statistically significant increase in the number of publications across years (P= 0.04). Overall, the studies evaluated the relationship between patient satisfaction and patient demographics (71%), preoperative and intraoperative clinical factors (21%), and postoperative factors (33%). Top positive predictors of patient satisfaction were patient and nursing/medical staff relationship (n= 4; 17%), physician-patient relationship (n= 4; 17%), managerial oversight of received care (n= 3; 13%), same sex/ethnicity between patient and physician (n= 2; 8%), and older age (n= 2; 8%). Top negative predictors of patient satisfaction were high Charlson Comorbidity Index/high disability/worse overall health functioning (n= 7; 29%), increased length of hospital stay (n= 4; 17%), high rating for pain/complications/readmissions (n= 4; 17%), and psychosocial factors (n= 3; 13%). There is heterogeneity in terms of different factors, both clinical and nonclinically related, that affect patient satisfaction ratings. More research is warranted to investigate the role of hospital consumer surveys in the spine surgical patient population.

EVALUATION AND MODELLING OF GROUND WATER QUALITY DATA OF ALLAHABAD CITY BY ENVIRONMETRIC METHODS

Water is an essential resource for all the organisms, plants and animals including human beings. It is the backbone for the agricultural and industrial sectors and all the small business units. Increase in human population and economic activities have tremendously increased the demand for large-scale suppliers of freshwater for various competing end users.
 The quality evaluation of water is represented in terms of physical, chemical and biological parameters. A particular problem in the case of water quality monitoring is the complexity associated with analyzing a large number of measured variables. The data sets contain rich information about the behaviour of the water resources. Multivariate statistical approaches allow deriving hidden information from the data sets about the possible influences of the environment on water quality. Classification, modelling and interpretation of monitored data are the most important steps in the assessment of water quality.
 The application of different multivariate statistical techniques, such as cluster analysis (CA), principal component analysis (PCA) and factor analysis (FA) help to identify important components or factors accounting for most of the variances of a system.
 In the present study water samples were analyzed for various physicochemical analyses by different methods following the standards of APHA, BIS and WHO and were subjected to further statistical analysis viz. the cluster analysis to understand the similarity and differences among the various sampling stations. Three clusters were found. Cluster 1 was marked with 3 sampling locations 1, 3 & 5; Cluster-2 was marked with sampling location-2 and cluster-3 was marked with sampling location-4. Principal component analysis/factor analysis is a pattern reorganization technique which is used to assess the correlation between the observations in terms of different factors which are not observable.
 Observations correlated either positively or negatively, are likely to be affected by the same factors while the observations which are not correlated are influenced by different factors. In our study, three factors explained 99.827% of variances. F1 marked 51.619% of total variances, high positive strong loading with TSS, TS, Temp, TDS, phosphate and moderate with electrical conductivity with loading values of 0.986, 0.970, 0.792, 0.744, 0.695, 0.701, respectively. Factor 2 marked 27.236% of the total variance with moderate positive loading with total alkalinity & temp. with loading values 0.723 & 0.606 respectively.
 It also explained the moderate negative loading with conductivity, TDS, and chloride with loading values -0.698, -0.690, -0.582. Factor F 3 marked 20.972 % of the variances with positive loading with pH, chloride, and phosphate with strong loading of pH 0.872 and moderate positive loading with chloride and phosphate with loading values 0.721, and 0.569 respectively.

Treatment effect investigation of underground continuous impervious curtain application in water-rich strata

Serious shaft lining failures often occur when shaft linings are constructed by passing them through the deep topsoil of Quaternary strata. This approach also leads to the formation of an aquifer at the bottom. Based on the theory of the additional stress which is the main reason for these failures, this study focuses on the treatment effect of underground continuous impervious curtain (UCIC) in terms of different factors, namely, the location, shape, range, and width, by using numerical simulation. Results show that the UCIC can reduce the stress concentration in the shaft lining formed in the bottom aquifer. The UCIC can also reinforce the shaft lining at different angles and can be applied in actual situations. The strength factors of the inner surface of the shaft lining increase after the UCIC are used. The material strength and width of the UCIC show an obvious effect on the stability of the shaft lining. Results proved that the UCIC could effectively strengthen the stability of the shaft lining when it was built in the aquifer or built in the aquifer and above and below the layer.

The present research includes one main question and four subquestions. Its universe population includes managers, production and financial personnel of great corporations activating in Tehran Stock Exchange, who were selected to explain importance and weight of economic risks indices. The source of great corporations recognition is the Companies Registration Organization in Tehran Province, and according to this, there are 120 corporations. The results have indicated that financing risk maintains the highest priority followed by credit risk, liquidity risk, inflation risk and exchange risk. In terms of different risks associated with financing risk, risk of profit per share has been the number one priority followed by the risk of divisional profit per share, the risk of recessionary or boom and the risk of increasing partial pay profit rate. In terms of credit risk, the risk of loan has been number one priority followed by the risk of inability of loan payment and interest payment. Liquidity risk is another risk factor where demand has been the most important factor followed by rules and regulations and inflation risk. In terms of inflation, producers price risk has been the most important factor followed by consumer price risk, gross domestic product and producers price risk. Finally, in terms of different factors influencing exchange risk, export related issues are considered as the most important factors. © 2014 Growing Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Numerical analysis of composite structure with in-plane isotropic negative Poisson’s ratio: Effects of materials properties and geometry features of inclusions

A novel composite structure with isotropic negative Poisson’s ratio has been presented in our previous paper [1]. However, the previous study has only focused on the effects of random inclusions. In this work, an extended numerical study on the effects of materials properties and geometry features of inclusions is conducted in order to better understand the deformation mechanism and mechanical properties of this kind of composites. Using finite element method, the overall negative Poisson’s ratio effects and mechanical properties of the composites are analyzed in terms of different factors including thickness and stiffness of inclusions with uniform and non-uniform struts. The structure optimization of the composites with better negative Poisson’s ratio effect and mechanical performance are discussed based on the numerical calculated results. The study shows that the Poisson’s ratio effects and mechanical properties of the composites are significantly affected by geometrical features, stiffness and boundary conditions of inclusions.

Comparative molecular dynamics simulation studies for determining factors contributing to the thermostability of chemotaxis protein “CheY”

Comparative molecular dynamics simulations of chemotaxis protein “CheY” from thermophilic origin Thermotoga maritima and its mesophilic counterpart Salmonella enterica have been performed for 10 ns each at 300 and 350 K, and 20 ns each at 400 and 450 K. The trajectories were analyzed in terms of different factors like root-mean-square deviation, root-mean-square fluctuation, radius of gyration, solvent accessible surface area, H-bonds, salt bridge content, and protein–solvent interactions which indicate distinct differences between the two of them. The two proteins also follow dissimilar unfolding pathways. The overall flexibility calculated by the trace of the diagonalized covariance matrix displays similar flexibility of both the proteins near their optimum growth temperatures. However, at higher temperatures mesophilic protein shows increased overall flexibility than its thermophilic counterpart. Principal component analysis also indicates that the essential subspaces explored by the simulations of two proteins at different temperatures are nonoverlapping and they show significantly different directions of motion. However, there are significant overlaps within the trajectories and similar direction of motions are observed for both proteins at 300 K. Overall, the mesophilic protein leads to increased conformational sampling of the phase space than its thermophilic counterpart. This is the first ever study of thermostability of CheY protein homologs by using protein dynamism as a main impact. Our study might be used as a model for studying the molecular basis of thermostability of two homologous proteins from two organisms living at different temperatures with less visible differences.

Capital Budgeting Technique Selection through Four Decades: With a Great Focus on Real Option

Capital budgeting investment decisions involve the use of a large portion of a firm’s assets; actually no decision places a company in more jeopardy than these decisions. Often these investments can cost billions of dollars, and require predictions of the future, without a suitable return the very existence of the company can be compromised. This paper aims to provide a review and analysisoncapital budgeting techniquesfrom 1970 to 2012 in developing and developed countries regarding the most effective factors on selecting techniques. It also analyzes how industries proceed to more sophisticated techniques during four decades. The most important flaws of traditional methods were criticized to analyze whether adopting a new sophisticated method like real option (RO) could eliminate them. Through an overview on RO domain and its process, the most efficient usageof sophisticated methodswas found.Reviewing previous empirical studies on real option adoptiongive us insight for providing required infrastructures before applying real option process. Our main aim by providing this paperis to help readers makethe most appropriate decision about capital budgeting techniques in terms of different factors with a great focus on real option (in the case which real option domain would not be contravened)and fault detecting to remove important obstacles and achieve successful real option implementation.

An Investigation Of Prospective Science Teachers’ Attitudes Towards Environment In Terms Of Different Factors (Sample Of Kazim Karabekir Education Faculty)

The aim of this study is to investigate prospective science teachers’ attitudes towards environment in terms of different factors. Sample of the study was chosen from the Department of Primary Science Teacher Training of Kazim Kara- bekir Education Faculty of Ataturk University. In order to determine prospective science teachers’ attitudes towards environment “Environmental Attitude Scale (EAS)” was used. The reliability coefficant for EAS was found as 0,80. This scale consists of “environmental behaviour” and “environmental thought” sub-scales. Although “personal information form” was used to gather information about candidates’ sex, class and settlement. Scale was administered to 355 prospective teachers and results evaluated by SPSS packet programme. As a result, it is fonud that some factors effect environmental attitudes. Although one of the important finding is candidates are insufficient to reflect environmental thoughts to their behaviours.

Comparative analysis of embodied liabilities using an inter-industrial process model: gasoline- vs. electro-powered vehicles

We developed a model of economy-wide production systems by incorporating a material balance concept into the standard input–output framework. This inter-industrial process model represents the physical flow of materials throughout the industrial network and thus is able to address the entire process involved with the production of a target product according to its material content. The model, which is based on some physically allowable assumptions, was calibrated using the available input–output coefficients for aggregated processes (sectors). We used detailed data on environmentally hazardous emissions and labour requirements for each sector to analyse the liabilities of substitutable products in terms of different factors, origins, and stages of the inter-industrial process network. To empirically examine the model, we applied it to analyse the production of a popular gasoline-powered vehicle and an electro-powered vehicle.
