The aim of studies was to determine the mineral content of Campomanesia adamantium (Myrtaceae) fruits popularly known as guavira and commonly used in the treatment of human diseases as well as food. Concentrations of minerals in samples were determined using induction coupled optical emission spectrometry and the results were compared to values of Dietary Reference Intakes for children, adolescents and pregnant women. The FDA Nutritional Content Claims was adopted in order to classify the mineral content in the fruit.

Background: Adhesive Capsulitis is a clinical syndrome of pain and severely decreased joint motion. The primary goal in this condition is mainly to improve ROM, pain and decrease disability. In many physical therapy programs for the subject with frozen shoulder, mobilization and manipulation technique are an important part of the intervention. Objective: The objective of the study is to compare the effectiveness of Gong’s mobilization and Cyriax manipulation (deep friction massage) in subjects with frozen shoulder. Method: 30 subjects were included in the study.

The aim of this study evaluated the fluoride retention, morphologic changes on enamel surface and the resistance to demineralization after Er: YAG laser and fluoride gel pretreatments. Ninety-five bovine enamel specimens were obtained, half of the enamel surface were coated with nail varnish and wax (reference area), leaving other half to pre-treatments and to erosive challenge.

Morinda citrifolia L. (Rubiaceae), popularly known as Noni, looked at the scientific community because of their anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. This study explores the potential of Noni to ameliorate inflammation and infection in open infected skin wounds of rats. Fourteen Wistar rats weighing 285±12g were used. The study was done in a group whose open infected skin wounds were treated with topical application formulated nanostructured base hydroalcoholic extract Morinda citrifolia L.

The paper introduced standard 10-Kahler analogue of Lagrangian Dynamics systems. Eventually discussed some results related to standard 10- Kahler dynamical systems has been.

This research paper presents the mathematical analysis of heat and mass transfer on the blood flow through a tapered stenosed artery with the suspension of nanoparticles. The non-linear equations governing blood flow is modeled in cylindrical co-ordinates and are solved by Homotopy Perturbation Method where the rheology of flowing blood is characterized by the Jeffrey fluid model. Analytical solutions are constructed for the velocity profile, temperature profile, concentration profile and flux profile by solving flow governing non-linear coupled equations.

The increasing demand for energy, the continuous reduction in existing sources of fossil fuels and the growing concern regarding environment pollution, have pushed mankind to explore new technologies for the production of electrical energy using clean, renewable sources, such as solar energy, wind energy, etc. Among the non-conventional, renewable energy sources, solar energy affords great potential for conversion into electric power, able to ensure an important part of the electrical energy needs of the planet.

The contribution of Science and Technology (S&T) to development is well observed world over, and in Kenya as a development priority. However, this has not been the case due to lack of proper investment technical institutions that offer technological innovations. Investing in S & T is the global new catchword not only for individual countries but also donors like the World Bank. Promotion of S & T cannot take place unless technical institutions are properly funded for research as well as enhanced man power development to allow generation and diffusion of scientific knowledge.

This study aims at analyzing the correlation of scientific publications on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the area of Industrial Engineering. The recurrent indication of multidisciplinarity of the concept and the need for the formulation of means to implement the SDGs justify the importance concerning this theme in Industrial Engineering and originality of this work. To achieve the objective proposed in this study, a literature review using the Methodi Ordinatio method was used as a methodological procedure.

The study aimed to determine the attitude of the Filipino people towards renewable energy technologies. The study is quantitative in nature which used descriptive survey as means of data collection. Four hundred seventy three (473) respondents from thirteen municipalities of the province of Zambales were selected for this study.
