Post harvest loss is one of the factors causing the reduction in the amount of food available for the future. This research is to study the change of the weight, visual, sensory and total soluble solid of the butterhead lettuce with IoT storage chamber with different treatments (i.e T1, T2, and T3). At the final day of storage period, there are no significant differences on weight loss between T2 and T3, and between T1 and T2. The visual quality of the butterhead lettuce significantly decreased during the storage period. The overall acceptability and sweetness of T1 are the highest; T3 has the better aroma and texture; the appearance was not significantly different among all the treatments. For the total soluble solid, the content for all treatments were significantly increased when the storage period progressed. T1 is the most recommended treatment as it had extended one week of storage period and able to retain better sweet taste and appearance compared to the other treatments.

Podczas pierwszej sesji Soboru Watykańskiego II w 1962 roku rozstrzygnięto niewielką liczbą głosów, że nauka o Matce Pana zostanie zamieszczona w konstytucji o Kościele. Basil Christopher Butler (1902 – 1986), opat benedyktyński Anglii był jednym z tych, którzy przygotowali projekt dokumentu mariologicznego. Otrzymał on poparcie episkopatu angielskiego. Ch. Butler wykazał w oparciu o dane biblijne i nade wszystko patrystyczne, że Matkę Chrystusa należy ukazywać w perspektywie historii zbawienia. Jego koncept patrystyczny został oparty na starożytnej figurze nowej Ewy, która stanowi pierwowzór Kościoła. Wskazał wiele pism ojców Kościoła. Zostały one wykorzystane w ósmy rozdziale Lumen gentium. Tymczasem we wstępnych projektach mariologii soborowej były nieliczne odniesienia patrystyczne. Należy zauważyć, że Ch. Butler skorzystał z pism J. H. Newmana. Podobnie jak on przeszedł z anglikanizmu na katolicyzm. Tradycja patrystyczna anglikanizmu XIX i początku XX wieku podawała wystarczająco dużo argumentów teologicznych, aby Bogurodzicy nie izolować z wykładu o Kościele.

The sampling distribution and the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) are the basis for many statistical procedures and inferences. Despite their ubiquitous nature in statistics, these concepts are some of the most abstract and difficult for students to understand. To foster a deeper understanding of these concepts, a web-based application was created that uses dynamic graphics to illustrate the concepts and engage students with active learning. We provide an outline of three in-class activities using the web application to promote the learning of population distributions, simple random sampling, sampling variability, the idea of a statistic, the sampling distribution, the Law of Large Numbers, and the CLT. These in-class activities tie the concepts together and place emphasis on their role as building blocks of statistical inference. By linking abstract theoretical concepts together before introducing statistical inference, the web application facilitates statistical thinking that students can utilize both inside and outside the classroom.

Acute myocardial infarction AMI is a major cause of death in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Due to his chronic inflammatory state, Patient with SLE has an increased risk of developing coronary artery disease. We report a case of a middle-aged woman with an acute myocardial infarction AMI caused by a right coronary artery (RCA) stenosis complicated with severe coronary artery spasm. Our patient has a history of long-standing SLE. Clinical expression of coronary artery disease (CAD) in SLE is the result of different pathophysiologic mechanism. from this case, we raise the importance of the clinician to be aware of the diverse pathophysiologic pathways involving a coronary artery in a patient with SLE.

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education needs a teaching workforce that is knowledgeable and skillful. Previous studies have reported the effectiveness of the delivery of the STEM education using the outcome-based education approach. Yet, the implementation of STEM education has been equally criticized. This study is a qualitative inquiry using the grounded theory approach to identify the teaching strategies employed by academics involved in STEM education in a leading private university in Malaysia. In particular, the inquiry focusses on the outcome-based education and its implementation in STEM education. Eight academics involved in STEM education from a private university in Malaysia were recruited using a purposive sampling procedure. In-depth interviews were conducted using semi-structured questions. The findings suggest that the participants are apprehensive of using outcome-based education in implementing STEM education and would require more training on this approach. The data yielded teaching strategies and challenges faced by STEM academics in the implementation of outcome-based education.

We have employed first principle Density Functional Theory (DFT) investigations to study the physical and electronic properties of 4–Azidomethyl–6–isopropyl–2H–chromen–2–one, C13H13N3O2. Complete geometry optimization calculations were carried out to find local energy minimum of the molecular system using the B3LYP approach with a variety of basis sets. The optimized geometries were then used to determine the HOMO–LUMO gaps, Mulliken atomic charges, and others. Our calculation results show that the computed geometrical properties of C13H13N3O2 cluster model are in good agreement with the corresponding measured experimental value. The calculated energies obtained are close to each other using the B3LYP density functional method combined with a variety of basis sets. Furthermore, using B3LYP/6–31G** method, the oxygen–attached carbon, C2 atom has the highest positively charge, with the corresponding value of +0.59. For both oxygen atoms (O1 and O2), the calculated charge values obtained are about –0.52 and –0.46, respectively.

Se estudian los trilobites agnóstidos procedentes de nueve localidades, siete de ellas nuevas para estas faunas, situadas en las pizarras del Llanvirn inferior de la parte meridional de la Zona Centroibérica (Montes de Toledo, Villuercas y región de Almadén). Se determina la presencia de los géneros Geragnostella y Geragnostus, y se describen tres nuevas especies: Geragnostella gilcidae n. sp., Geragnostus hispanicus n. sp. y Geragnostus ninhursagae n. sp. Se proponen también los nuevos nombres Geragnostus pilleti nom. nov. y Geragnostus abdullaevi nom. nov. para designar, respectivamente, las especies G. howelli PILLET, 1978, y G. elongatus ABDULLAEV, 1972, consideradas ambas homónimos objetivos primarios de otras especies definidas con anterioridad.
