Certain peculiarities of inelastic nonlinearity of unconsolidated near surface stressed granular media contributed at micro- scale are investigated to ascertain anomalous time dependent strength behaviour macro-effects, with geotechnical/geo-environmental implications. Comparative examination of ultrasonic P- and S-wave pulse stimulated repeatable displacement response wave-forms of confined dry and fully saturated ceramic grains analogue, endorsable by pertinent theory, hint certain persistive time and frequency restricted occurrences vouching vital insights. Examination aimed at both understanding “louder” response of “quieter” seismic and aseismic events in granular sediments, and imparting enhanced conceptual substantiation of some previously published results, show that subtle acoustic emission and/or stick-slip type micro events do occur, and, when spread over time and/or space are collectively capable of altering granular material macro strength behaviour. It is clearly deducible from resonant type spectral results that material fragmentation or force chain formation type phenomenon occurs possibly due to macro-scale friction mobilization by grain scale events. It is further speculated that invisible high frequency events may irreversibly alter grain scale surface properties and/or intergranular friction as enhanced elasticity type effect, more elusive with saturation. Temporal morphology of stick-slip type events when stimulated by P- and S-wave modes is posited to be non-identical in characteristic sense.

The business performance within the Internet industry in Indonesia needs to be upgraded. The main objective of this study is to analyze the influence of Industrial Competition Intensity and Capabilities on Business Strategy and Performance within the Internet industry in Indonesia. This study has utilized a representative sample of 70 Internet Service Providers (ISPs) with a web survey sampling technique. The collected data are analyzed using Partial Least Squares Path modeling. The analysis shows that variables such as industrial competition intensity and capabilities have significant positive impacts on business strategies and business performance. Out of the two variables, it is revealed that capabilities provide greater influence.

The increased number of glucose in the blood is called Diabetes [7] and is forecasted to be a very major disease by 2030. [7] There is a pressing need to explore better remediation, be it in form of synthetic or naturally occurring chemicals. This paper made an exploratory investigation on the hypoglycemic effect of a common food item known as ―okra‖ or Abemoschus esculentus (EA). Six (6) mice were randomly selected and grouped into 2 groups and were given extracts from the fruit of Abelmoschus esculentus (EA)/okra which was chopped into three pieces and was soak in 250ml potable water overnight. 1 st group is the Control Group and the 2 nd group is the Treatment Group. Average results of the two (2) groups are determined and recorded upon conducting this experimental research. The Control Group has an average result of 94mg/dl in the 1 st test, 99mg/dl in the 2 nd test, 94mg/dl in the 3 rd test, 101mg/dl in the 4 th test, 97mg/dl in the 5 th test and 73mg /dl in the 6 th test. The Treatment Group has an average result of 87mg/dl in the 1 st test, 99mg/dl in the 2 nd test, 124mg/dl in the 3 rd test, 129mg/dl in the 4 th test, 115mg/dl in the 5 th test and 88mg/dl in the 6 th test. Results indicated that the extract from Abelmoschus esculentus (EA)/okra has hypoglycemic effect and no observable changes in behavior are noticed to the mice. It is recommended to replicate the study with more number of mice and longer observation period.

The corrosion inhibitive action of oxystelma esculentum stem on mild steel corrosion in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution was studied using weight loss method, potentiodynamic polarization and EIS measurements. The results obtained indicate that the extracts functioned as good inhibitors in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution. Inhibition efficiency was found to increase with extract concentration. The adsorption of constituents in the plant extract on the surface of the metal is proposed for the inhibition behavior.

This paper assesses the adequacy of model fit of the split-plot design models, that is the whole plot (WP) sub-design model with WP error and the split-plot (SP) sub-design model with SP error for comparing the effectiveness of resistant measures that use medians instead of means, resulting in a coefficient that is more resistant to outliers or extreme data points. This paper presents empirical application of four measures of model adequacy check and they are coefficient of determination (R2), modelling efficiency (MEF) statistic, prediction coefficient of determination (R2prod), and mean square error prediction (MSEP). These four measures were explored using their mean and median form. A 2(1+3) replicated two-level SP design and a 31 × 42 replicated mixed level SP design were used for computing the measures of model adequacy of fit for each WP and SP sub-design models. These measures in their median form described the predictive performance of each WP and SP sub-design models adequately.

Hospital waste management is an imperative environmental and public safety issue, due to the waste’s infectious and hazardous character. In recent years, hospital waste management has become a growing issue of concern with the increasing evidence suggesting health hazards related to health care waste (HCW) inflicted upon the service providers, patients and the community as a whole. Ghana, a developing country, has little information on the healthcare waste generate, how it is handle, and its disposal. The study analyzed the healthcare waste management practices in the Greater Accra Region, Ghana. The study involved 120 healthcare centers in the region. A total of 150 healthcare estate officers and waste management workers. Site visits, interviews, and survey questionnaires were implemented to collect information regarding different medical waste management aspects, including medical waste generation, separation, collection, storage, transportation, and disposal. Results from the study shows 8221.2kg waste per bed per day {1.2kg bed-1 day-1 *6,851 beds} are generated. An analysis per the population size of Ghana (25 million) as against a projection estimate by 2025 shows that, healthcare waste will increase greatly, hence the need for strategic focus on it management as accepted internationally. Comparing the finding of the waste generation rate to other studies Greater Region of Ghana has a much higher generation rate of healthcare waste. In conclusion, healthcare centers in the Greater Accra Region do not abide to the accepted healthcare waste management policy of Ghana. It is recommended that laws of best standard of healthcare waste management should be passed and enforced by the Ministry of Local Government, to improve the current situation and to protect the environment and human health.
