Gingivitis is the most common form of oral disease especially among patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. Green tea, which is extensively used in Asian countries, can help to improve the overall gingival health, which can be assessed by using the gingival indices. Evaluation of the effectiveness of green tea on the gingival health of patients undergoing Orthodontic treatment is of interest. 40 otherwise healthy patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment were randomly divided in two groups namely (1) study group and (2) control group. Gingival indices were scored for all the patients. Study group was given mouth rinse with green tea extract and control group was given placebo with no green tea extract. Gingival indices were measured for all the patients after 21 days. Mann Whitney U test and Wilcoxon test was used for statistical analysis. The gingival indices scoring in which the values before and after the use of mouthwash were compared. The p value was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05) in study group. But in control group statistical significant could not be reached.

One of the promising solutions to overcome the liquid loading problem in natural gas production is using a foaming agent. The extreme condition in the gas well causes the foam used tends to break up. Therefore, it is required to enhance the foam stability by adding a stabilizer agent. This research aims to investigate the effect of silica nanoparticles as a surfactant stabilizer to obtain a high-stability foam using silica nanofluid. Silica nanofluid was synthesized from sodium silicate solution by the sol-gel method. Then, the colloidal silica was added to the surfactant solution without a coupling agent. The effects of aging time and silica concentration were investi-gated. The results show that the surface tension tends to increase with the increase of aging time and silica concentration but decrease in foam stability which is indicated by a decrease in the foam half-life time. The best foam stability is obtained in silica nanofluids with an aging time of 6 hours and a silica concentration of 30 ppm, which shows a foam half-life of 42 hours and can improve foam stability with several parameters representing the conditions of the gas well.

Nowadays, Evolutionary Game Theory which studies the learning model of players, has attracted more attention than before. These Games can simulate the real situation and dynamic during processing time. This paper creates the Evolutionary Markov Games, which maps players’ strategy-choosing to a Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) with payoffs. Boltzmann distribution is used for transition probability and the General Regression Neural Network (GRNN) simulating the strategy-choosing in Evolutionary Markov Games. Prisoner’s dilemma is a problem that uses the method and output results showing the overlapping the human strategy-choosing line and GRNN strategy-choosing line after 48 iterations, and they choose the same strategies. Also, the error rate of the GRNN training by Tit for Tat (TFT) strategy is lower than similar work and shows a better result.

Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO) demands good designs. One of the design is FSO’s mooring lines. The mooring lines of the FSO would face various environmental conditions, so that they are required to have good reliability. FSO Abherka, installed in the Madura stratit, has dimensions of LOA 242.90 m, LPP 232 m, Breadth 41.6 m, Height 19.7 m, Draft 12,894 m, and a deadweight of 85829 tons. The strait has a water depth of 100 m with contour variations of ± 2 m. Each four cluster of mooring lines of FSO Abherka has three mooring ropes. This study analyzed the strength of mooring lines in intact and damaged conditions using DNV software Genie and DNV HydroD. This study models a hydrodynamic FSO. This study also measured the reliability of the mooring lines from 2 cases: 1 intact and one damage from the most dangerous conditions. This study used the mean Value First Order Second Moment method to find the reliability of these mooring lines. Based on the reliability calculation set by DNV according to DNV-OS E301, the mooring lines design meet the established reliability criteria.

Hot pepper sauce is a frequently used product in most Ghanaian homes, schools, and restaurants, which occasionally serves as condiments. The cooking period during the production process of hot pepper sauce results in physicochemical changes, which affect the quality and safety of the sauce. The study seeks to determine the effect of the application of different cooking times on the physicochemical properties and microbial safety of hot pepper sauce. The cooking periods were 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, and 1 hour for samples A, B, C, and D. Standard physicochemical and microbiological techniques were employed in the various analysis. Sample D (1 hour cooked) recorded the least moisture and ash content, acid insoluble ash, and a statistically significant acid value (P<0.5) to the other samples (A, B, and C). The total viable count assay indicated the presence of anaerobic microorganisms in all the samples assessed, with sample D exhibiting very few microbial populations compared to the others. Staphylococcus species were detected in sample A and B only but undetected in samples C and D. Also, total coliform and Clostridium perfringens were unobserved in any of the samples. Generally, sample D had the best overall acceptability rate, with sample A having the least. This study, therefore, sup-ports the patronization of the hour-cooked hot pepper sauce (sample D) with greater quality, longer shelf-life, and safety.
