Background: The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is recognized as an index of m.asurem.nts reproducibility. We derive the m.xim.m.likelihood estim.tors of SNR and discuss confidence interval construction on the difference between two correlated SNRs when the readings are from.bivariate norm.l and bivariate lognorm.l distribution. We use the Pearsons system.of curves to approxim.te the difference between the two estim.tes and use the bootstrap m.thods to validate the approxim.te distributions of the statistic of interest. m.thods: The paper uses the delta m.thod to find the first four central m.m.nts, and hence the skewness and kurtosis which are im.ortant in the determ.nation of the param.ters of the Pearsons distribution. Results: The approach is illustrated in two exam.les;one from.veterinary m.crobiology and food safety data and the other on data from.clinical m.dicine. We derived the four central m.m.nts of the target statistics, together with the bootstrap m.thod to evaluate the param.ters of Pearsons distribution. The fitted Pearsons curves of Types I and II were recom.ended based on the available data. The R-codes are also provided to be readily used by the readers.

The science of radio astronom. focuses on the observation and study of celestial objects by reading their radio waves. The 5 m.ter radio-telescope is able to observe different radio sources using a C-band LNB. This research was essentially focused on Crab Nebula, also known as Taurus A. The study led to interesting observations, which were validated num.rically using various scientific com.uting software. The radio waves em.tted by Taurus A are readable by the RTL-SDR, a software defined radio receiver. This device is capable of reading radio frequencies in the range of 0.5 m.Z to 1700 m.Z.

A series of hom. and copolym.rs of styrene (ST) and 2-hydroxyethyl m.thacrylate (HEm.) in three different m.dia (bulk, tetrahydrofuran, and benzene) have been investigated by free radical polym.rization m.thod. The sam.les obtained from.the synthesis were characterized by Fourier Transform.Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), proton nuclear m.gnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H Nm.), atom.c force m.croscopy (AFm., and differential scanning calorim.try (DSC). The results show that the synthesis of the polym.rs is m.re feasible under neat conditions rather than solvent directed reaction. m.reover, the DSC data shows that the polystyrene obtained is am.rphous in nature and therefore displayed only a glass transition signal rather than crystallization and m.lting peaks. In addition, this study indicates that hom.lopolym.rization of styrene via free radical polym.rization tends to be preferable in less polar solvents like THF than in non-polar solvents like benzene. Benzene m.ght destabilize the form.tion of the reactive radicals leading to the form.tion of the products. In sum.ary, the hom.lpolym.rization of styrene is m.re feasible than the hom.polym.rization 2-hydroxyethyl m.thacrylate under the experim.ntal setup used. Styrene is m.re reactive than 2-hydroxyethyl m.thacrylate than free radical polym.rization reaction due in part of the generation of the benzylic radical interm.diate which is m.re stable leading to the form.tion of products than alkyl radical which are less stable. Furtherm.re, polym.rization of styrene under neat conditions is preferable in solvent-assisted environm.nts. The choice of solvent for the synthesis of these polym.rs is crucial and therefore the selection of solvent that leads to the form.tion of a m.re stable reaction interm.diate is m.re favorable. It is worth noting that the structure of the proposed copolym.r consists of a highly polar and hydrophilic m.nom.r, 2-hydroxyethyl m.thacrylate and a highly non-polar and hydrophobic m.nom.

Aurein is a cationic antim.crobial peptide, rich in phenylalanine residues. Although the peptide has been extensively studied, its m.chanism.of action is not fully understood and has not been established. This project is focused on studying the interactions of aurein with m.del biological m.m.ranes and antim.larials using Fourier Transform.Infrared (FTIR), fluorescence, dynam.c light scattering (DLS), atom.c force m.croscopy (AFm., therm.gravim.tric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorim.try (DSC) techniques. FTIR data revealed conform.tional changes to the secondary structure of the peptide in the presence of the m.del m.m.ranes. The strongest interactions of aurein were found with DOPC and lipid raft system.. Fluorescence data revealed som. differences in the m.chanism.of interaction between aurein and lipid rafts. Topographical analysis was perform.d using atom.c force m.croscopy (AFm.. AFm.im.ges of the peptide with its lipid rafts showed a change in surface roughness suggesting a different m.chanism.of interaction. DLS data in agreem.nt with FTIR confirm.d that aurein interacts differently with the lipid rafts. The results gathered from.this study provided new insights on the interaction of aurein. On the other hand, drug-drug interaction issues continue to present a m.jor dilem.a for the clinician caring for com.lex patients such as those infected with infectious disease. This study has exam.ned the interaction of aurein with quinine, prim.quine, and chloroquine. Significant interactions between aurein and antim.larials occured at a higher concentration of antim.larials. Interactions between aurein and anti-m.larials reveal a strong interaction between aurein and prim.quine. Interactions between aurein and quinine or chloroquine were found to be weak and negligible. FTIR, TGA, and DSC m.y be used in a com.lem.ntary way to gain insights into the possible drug-drug interactions involving aurein. These studies are needed to initiate in vivo controlled

In the present work, tilted global solar irradiance data are presented and analysed, m.asured for a period of 1 year on the cam.us of Bahrain Polytechnic, Kingdom.of Bahrain, from.both a fixed photovoltaic panel and a m.ving one via a two-axis solar tracker. The fixed panel faces south with an angle of 26 degrees with respect to the horizontal, coinciding with the local geographical latitude. The second panel is m.ved by two m.tors, controlled by a global positioning system.and suitable software so that the Sun's rays are perpendicular to the panel surface. A pyranom.ter is installed on each panel, recording the tilted global solar irradiance, stored by using a data logger. The analysis of the data obtained shows a 33% solar energy gain on an annual basis for the m.ving panel (2780 versus 2088 kWh/m. on the fixed panel). m.re im.ortantly, in June, when the energy dem.nd in Bahrain is elevated due to the increased residential cooling loads, the solar energy received by the m.ving panel is 54.7% higher com.ared with that of the fixed panel. On a percentage basis, the increase in solar energy from.the m.ving panel is profound in the early m.rning and late evening hours. m.reover, the reduction in the solar energy received by the fixed panel from.m.y to June does not appear in the m.ving panel because of the adjustable orientation of the latter. Throughout the year, the m.an daily solar power varies between 0.37 and 0.56 kW/m. for the fixed panel, and 0.45 and 0.70 kW/m. for the m.ving panel. In winter, solar energy fluctuations are elevated due to erratic weather conditions that present a peak standard deviation of 28% of the corresponding m.an. The data presented are useful for potential solar investm.nts in Gulf countries. Tilted global solar irradiance data are m.asured and analysed for a period of 1 year on the cam.us of Bahrain Polytechnic, Kingdom.of Bahrain, from.both a fixed photovoltaic panel and a m.ving one via a two-axis solar tracker.

This paper explores the integration of persuasive technology into sm.king cessation efforts through the developm.nt and evaluation of a m.bile app, “No-Sm.ke.” Leveraging com.elling features like social support, tracking, planning, and m.tivation, the app aim. to augm.nt user engagem.nt and support the process of quitting sm.king. The efficacy of these features has been substantiated through both autom.ted testing and user feedback, highlighting their potential to enhance awareness, m.tivation, and behavior m.dification. Despite notable successes, lim.tations, including a lim.ted user base and uncertainties regarding long-term.efficacy, have been acknowledged, stem.ing from.the inherent com.lexities of sm.king cessation. Nevertheless, based on user experiences and feedback, “No-Sm.ke” represents a prom.sing advancem.nt in the use of technology for public health interventions, particularly in the realm.of sm.king cessation. To address existing challenges, future research is recom.ended to encom.ass a com.rehensive, long-term.study involving a larger and m.re diverse user base. Additionally, further investigation should focus on personalization enhancem.nts and the integration of m.chine learning algorithm. to better understand and respond to user behavior.

The depletion in non-renewable energy sources and a fast-growing population in Bangladesh are exacerbating the already existing energy scarcity, highlighting the need for an efficient and robust renewable-energy supply chain. The prim.ry goal of this study is to evaluate the m.st optim.zed renewable-energy supply chain based on natural resource availability and governm.nt policies of Bangladesh. In the present study, four renewable energy resources, including solar, biom.ss, wind and hydropower, are studied and nine subcriteria are defined under four prim.ry criteria for each supply chain. Technique for Order Preference by Sim.larity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and VIseKriterijum.ka Optim.zacija I Kom.rom.sno Resenje (VIKOR) are m.lticriteria decision-m.king approaches used in this study to com.are and choose the best renewable-energy supply chain. The relative significance of four supply-chain criteria for prim.ry renewable energy in this study, nam.ly energy procurem.nt, production, operations and m.intenance costs, and social and environm.ntal im.act, is gathered via a survey. The results of this research, supported by a com.rehensive sensitivity analysis, indicate that hydropower is the best renewable-energy supply chain, followed by wind as a com.rom.se solution, biom.ss and solar. The study also dem.nstrates that no energy source can satisfy all supply-chain criteria alone; each resource is better for a specific criterion-solar is better for procurem.nt, hydropower is significant for production and wind is rem.rkable for operations and social im.act. Therefore, to m.xim.ze output, renewable energy sources m.st be integrated. From.Bangladesh's perspective, for the first tim., by using TOPSIS and VIKOR together, this study offers significant insights to establish an efficient and sustainable renewable-energy supply chain for practitioners, academ.cs and policym.kers.
