Abstract:
Jellies for oral administration have been suggested as alternative dosage forms to conventional tablets for improved palatability and compliances for pediatric and geriatric patients. To evaluate the effect of jelly formulation on the bioavailability of cold medicines, two types of jellies were prepared for a fixed-dose combination of acetaminophen (AAP), chlorpheniramine maleate (CPM), dextromethorphan hydrobromide (DMH), and dl-methylephedrine hydrochloride (MEH). Jelly-S and Jelly-H were fabricated using carrageenan and locust bean gum in the absence and presence of xanthan gum, respectively. In vitro dissolution and in vivo absorption of the four drugs in the jellies were compared with other conventional formulations, a syrup and two types of immediate-release (IR) tablets with different hardness, Tablet-S (15 kPa) and Tablet-H (20 kPa). All the formulations exhibited more than 80% dissolution rate within 2 h even though the syrup, Jelly-S, and Tablet-S showed higher 30-min dissolution compared to Jelly-H and Tablet-H. The dissolution rates from the jellies decreased with increasing pH, which resulted in the slowest dissolution in pH 6.8 compared to the syrup and IR tablets. When administered orally to beagle dogs, all five formulations were determined not to be bioequivalent. However, Jelly-S and Jelly-H showed 0.82–1.05 of the geometric mean ratios (GMRs) of AUC0-t for all four drugs compared to the syrup suggesting comparable absorption. In two IR tablets, GMRs of AUC0-t were in a range of 0.55–0.95 indicating a tendency of lower absorption than the syrup and jellies. In conclusion, jelly can be a patient-centered formulation with comparable bioavailability to syrup.

Abstract:
The effects of reducing fat level (9% and 12%), substituting pork fat with olive oil and adding locust bean/xanthan gum on emulsion stability, jelly and fat separation, cook loss, and hardness of frankfurters were investigated and compared with control sample elaborated with 20% of fat content. Results showed that addition of locust bean/xanthan gum produced a significant increase in hydration/binding properties, characterised by lower cook losses, increasing yield, better emulsion stability and lower jelly and fat separation. The substitution of fat pork by olive oil did not affect these parameters. Multivariate comparison between elaborated low-fat products and commercial frankfurters (normal and low-fat) were carried out using a factorial analysis. Results showed that addition of locust bean/xanthan gum results in products similar to commercial frankfurters with higher fat contents.

Abstract:
Anemia is a condition of haemoglobin level that is below normal. One of the major causes is lacking of iron consumption, which is important in haemoposis process. Compared to men, women have less total iron in the body, and it raises the risk of anemia. The main purpose of this research was the fortification of iron in beverage. This research used soybean and mungbean as source of iron, which known as non-heme iron. To improve the absorption, ascorbic acid was needed as an enhancer, using guava and was produced into guava jelly drink. Method for extraction process is by maseration with 30% etanol as solution. The value of iron extract assessed by AAS at 248,3 nm. The formula of fortification was 20% of RDA of iron for woman, which was 18 mg per day. Chosen product was evaluated by sensory test. The nutrition value of product assessed including iron content, ascorbic acid, and proximate composition. The iron content of soybean was 113,86 ppm and 58,76 for mungbean. The nutrition of guava jelly drink with addition of fortificant were 87,47% water, 0,35% ash, 0,2% fat, 0,31% protein, 11,67% carbohydrate, 130,48 ppm iron, and 90,79 mg ascorbic acid.

Red bean jelly is one of the traditional legumous snack foods in China, which is popular with consumers. Soaking, cooking, grinding, filtering, rinsing and centrifuging are processes for producing adzuki bean paste, then followed by adding cooking and concentrating with agar and sugar to form adzuki bean jelly. In this study, effects of soaking and cooking processes on adzuki bean were investigated. A three - variable and three-level design method analyzed by response surface methodology was used to determine optimum operating conditions for preparation of adzuki bean paste and adzuki bean jelly. Based on analyses of microstructure and gel properties. The factors that affected the processes and quality of adzuki bean jelly were determined. On the other hand, the adzuki bean powder was also used to evaluate the feasibility of production of adzuki bean jelly. The results were as follows. Water absorption, volume swelling and percentage of solid loss of adzuki bean steadily increased with the increase of soaking temperature（r2＞0.87）. The high correlation value（r2＞0.92）observed confirmed that the water absorption rate of adzuki bean during soaking is temperature dependent. The soaking temperature and soaking time could be varied and were related. Their relationship can be expressed by the equation: t = 79583 T -1.426 when moisture content was 80 %（Equilibrium moisture content at 70℃）. On the microstructure of cotyledons, pectic substances of the middle lamella were loss during cooking. Protein denatured and compassed starch granules, then adzuki bean paste granules are produced after grinding and separating. When soaking accompanied with cooking, paste production could increased, rupture of cell wall decreased and improve qualities of adzuki bean paste in the end. In this study, the response surface methodology (RSM) was determined to obtain the optimum process conditions of adzuki bean paste and jelly. By the way of our results, soaking 5 ~ 6 hrs and cooking at temperature 110.5℃ combined with cooking for 45 min would yield an optimum process with best adzuki bean paste products. And the optimum process conditions of adzuki bean jelly was agar concentration 1.2~1.5 %, sugar content 34 ~ 40 % and concentrating time 30 ~ 45 min. Gel properties and viscoelasticity of adzuki bean jelly are decided by paste, agar and sugar. Intact adzuki bean paste spread on continuous phase which is formed by agar and sugar, and reach the physical strength of cooking and concentrating. Components of adzuki bean jelly could be well mixed and have good quality.

As smartphones and tablets blossomed in the last few years, consumers nowadays required and expected more on consumer electronics. Besides the GUI (graphical user interface), the efficiency of programs is another huge concern for the users. Actually, under the diversified functional requirements, GUI and multimedia applications are end users’ major focus, which should be a major consideration for application developers on the other end. It becomes an important issue to understand how to develop a highly efficient program in a limited resource condition. This thesis proposed a methodology of porting an Android system constructed by Java to embedded systems with restricted resources. Android is the most popular open source operation system on mobile devices nowadays. However, the manufacturers do not release their porting guide generally. On the other hand, academia has many hardware resources, yet lacks experiences on porting Android system. There're so many resources on the internet, but contents is uneven. Some of them do not have specific procedures, which makes porting Android system more complicated and difficult. This thesis chosed ARM Cortex-A7 Dual core Cubieboard as the kernel development kit for porting Android. Main reasons are the cost and rich peripherals for multimedia, which makes it appropriate to execute GUI on the platform. In addition, information of environment porting, procedures, issues, and solutions are provided in detail, especially how to configure peripheral settings in the kernel, which results in the success of peripheral activity by kernel. I believe this is the prerequisite for people who tries to learn porting platform. The thesis is based on porting Android on the Cubieboard-Embedded platform and analyzes more clearly by the following procedures and do study how to drive the LCD touch panel and the camera module by editing the source code. Expecting the completed functionities in the Cubueboard development kit is getting closer to the consumer product.

Abstract:
The human umbilical cord (UC) bridges the blood flow gap between baby and mother, protecting the blood supply in a way that allows the fetus freedom to move within the amniotic sac. Once the blood supply has been oxygenated by the maternal blood pool via the placenta, the umbilical vein (UV) provides a transport pathway to the fetus. Two umbilical arteries (UA) return the blood supply to the pool to eliminate CO2 and other metabolic wastes [1]. The walls of the UA’s and UV are made up of an intima composed a single layer of large, elongated endothelial cells [2], and a media composed of randomly distributed smooth muscles cells, collagen, elastin, and ground substance. These vessels are unique in that their adventitia is absent and substituted by Wharton’s jelly, a mucoid connective tissue.

Abstract:
Significant progress has been made in the study of the developmental biomechanics of the embryonic chick heart through the use of the finite element method (FEM) [1, 2, 3]. Our work focuses on the geometry of the Hamburger-Hamilton stages 9–12 embryonic chick heart, approximately the time when the heart begins to function and undergoes drastic morphological changes, such as c-looping. Our objective is to devise a method for building an accurate 3D solid FEM mesh used for nonlinear analysis of the myocardium (MY) and cardiac jelly (CJ). The models are based on the extraction of voxels from optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of an arrested developing heart. To alleviate the problem of jagged edges introduced by the hexahedral voxel structure, we present a method for geometric smoothing and mesh coarsening. The performance of the voxel and smoothed models are tested given physiological loading conditions (pressure, biological growth, muscle contraction), to ascertain which model should be used for modeling the c-looping process.

Abstract:
The field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is an interdisciplinary field that applies the principles of engineering and life sciences toward the development of biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue function or a whole organ. The process involves seeding cells onto biocompatible scaffolds that temporarily act as a supporting structure for cells to attach and grow. Scaffolds for tissue regeneration must present a viable microenvironment for the living cells to adhere, proliferate, and exhibit the necessary tissue function. Electrospinning is an emerging area where polymeric fibers can be fabricated in the micro-nano scale. The flexibility of this process allows for including a wide array of synthetic and natural biocompatible polymers in the scaffold composition, inclusion of bioactive molecules (e.g. DNA, proteins) for enhancing therapeutic applications, and ability to control material and mechanical properties via the electrospinning process — all advantageous parameters that contribute to the promise of utilizing electrospun scaffolds in tissue repair. Biocompatible materials, such as polycaprolactone (PCL), have been used extensively to fabricate scaffolds using electrospinning technique, to study cell compatibility and to evaluate cell functionality for nerve tissue engineering applications. The objective of this study is to quantify the effects of the addition of valproic acid to PCL nanofiber scaffolds created through the electrospinning process with regards to cell proliferation. Valproic acid is a commonly used therapeutic drug for the treatment of epilepsy and bipolar disorder. To determine the effects of the presence of valproic acid (VA), Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are seeded to the two scaffolds. Wharton’s jelly MSC are multipotent adult stem cells present in the umbilical cord and drawn from their matrix [1,2,3]. These stem cells have renowned ability for use in cell therapy and organ regeneration. This study tests the hypothesis that the presence of valproic acid in PCL nanofiber scaffolds will enhance cell proliferation. Structural and morphological characterization of the scaffolds is also carried out. Fiber diameter and tensile properties of the scaffolds with and without valproic acid are also observed. Such studies will enable us to understand the effects of drugs such as valproic acid on stem cells and will aid in designing scaffolds for applications in nerve regeneration.

Abstract:
Abstract In its latest US Oil & Gas workplace safety report, the American Petroleum Institute (API) noted that the industry's incidence rate has decreased by 41% since 2008 due to an increased focus on the industry-wide goal of zero incidents (American Petroleum Institute, 2020). However, there continues to be a significant number of serious incidents directly related to human behaviours rather than a lack of control or processes. In a high-risk environment such as Oil & Gas sites, onshore or offshore, it is imperative to have a healthy workforce - both physically and mentally - and there is a link between worker wellbeing, stress, overall performance, and safety attitudes. Many segments of the Oil & Gas industry require workers to leave home and family for extended periods, and this can have a significant impact on an employee's psychological wellbeing. This paper aims to inform individuals and organisations so they can better understand the effects of the experience of being away and increase the chances of maintaining their workers’ psychological wellbeing. A five-phase model - from preparing to leave home through to being back at home - has been developed in consultation with academics, trade unions, expert insight from oil and gas, military and education sector perspectives. This model offers a new and practical way to think about and manage potential adverse impacts on psychological wellbeing while away in order to reduce risk. It was first set out by Seaton and Jelley (2015) and additional research has since been completed with new data that demonstrates the impact of the five-phase model. The five-phase model has been tested among international students at universities in the UK (Smith, Smith and Jelley 2018) and in 2019 among foreign workers at an on-shore location in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Consistent with findings in the university context, the results of the latest field research suggest that greater use of strategies to cope with working away from home is associated with (a) greater positive wellbeing (happiness, life satisfaction) in life generally (b) a better quality of working life (c) more efficient operational performance.

Abstract:
A physical prototype of a human esophagus has been developed for reproducing the human swallowing process with the aim of studying various disorders that impair its function as well as for the development of new foods and technologies for their treatment. Several studies related to the peristalsis phenomena have been conducted in recent years by studying the effect of different parameters defining the peristaltic wave. Mathematical models have been developed to investigate the impact of an integral and a non-integral number of waves during the swallowing of food stuff such as jelly, tomato puree, among others. Swallowing through the esophagus has not only been studied numerically but also reported by using a pneumatic soft actuators. In the present work, the development of a soft actuator mechanism to reproduce the peristaltic wave as the one reported by F.J. Chen et. al. 2014 is described. Such a mechanism consists of a rubber structure that contains an array of chambers actuated by pressurized air to generate the peristaltic wave. The final chamber shape was determined after an iterative process, which involves the elastomer properties, different chamber shapes, finite element analysis and image processing. The characterization of the developed peristaltic mechanism was made by correlating a theoretical study of swallowing peristaltic model and the waveform obtained from the X-ray radiography analysis as the mechanism is actuated. As result, the soft actuator mechanism can reproduce a peristaltic waveform with a correlation coefficient near to 0.9 with respect to the mathematical model reported in literature. In addition, the manufacturing process based on additive manufacturing technologies is also presented.

Abstract:
In the Microwave Heating de-nitration (MH) method developed in Japan, a mixed solution of uranyl nitrate and plutonium nitrate (Pu/U mixed nitrate solution) recovered from the spent fuel in the reprocessing plant is converted directly to mixed oxide (MH-MOX) powder. This MH-MOX powder is utilized to fabricate MOX fuel with UO2 powder for FBR. The MH method is accompanied with transient boiling phenomena such as overflow and flushing. Toward high-speed and high-capacity conversion by MH-method in the future, it is required to avoid overflow and flushing and to understand optimal conditions for vessel shape design and microwave output operation. The objective of this paper is to elucidate occurrence criteria of flushing phenomena. At the first step for this objective, basic knowledge of transient boiling phenomena by the MH-method has been mainly acquired with using distilled water. From the results, it is observed that generation of singular bubble triggers flushing and distilled water just before flushing is superheated more than 10 °C in conditions that flushing is confirmed. Also, the water temperature reaches its peak, and it is almost unchanged in conditions that flushing is not confirmed. In no flushing conditions, it is found that the evaporation starts from the point where the water temperature reaches its peak, and water level is decreased gradually. Thus, the difference of thermal characteristics greatly affects whether flushing occurs. The second step, by focusing on the process before flushing occurs, we investigate flow structure, and heat amount through the temperature distribution inside the jelly just after microwave heating. Potassium chloride (KCl) aqueous solution and water are used. KCl solution is electrolyte solution same as reprocessing solution. From the results, upward flow is observed near the center of the solution in the case of the water just after microwave heating. On the other hand, downward flow is observed in the case of KCl solution. As a result of temperature distribution, the water is heated its near center, and KCl solution is heated the around. Thus, it is considered that heat amount of microwave varies depending on solution characteristics, and the difference greatly affects the flow structure. The heat amount and flow structure are critical factors that can determine transient boiling phenomena. We need to investigate transient boiling phenomena of KCl solution in the future.
