Xylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon which is widely used as a deparaffinizing agent, and it is extremely biohazardous. Various biosafe alternatives to xylene have been studied in the past with variable results. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of Cedar wood oil, Coconut oil and Dish wash liquid (DWL) with Xylene as a deparaffinizing agent and to figure out the best biosafe alternative to Xylene. The study consisted of 50 samples and results were analyzed based on the cellular architecture and total quality of staining. Xylene and DWS showed same result of high-quality staining in case of cellular architecture. But in case of total quality of staining, only Xylene showed the best results. Hence, we could conclude that though Xylene is toxic, it is still the best deparaffinizing agent and more studies has to be done in this field to prove the efficiency of natural agents.

Abstract. We reconstructed the ventilation record of deep water at 2100 m depth in the mid-latitude western North Pacific over the past 25 kyr from radiocarbon measurements of coexisting planktic and benthic foraminiferal shells in sediment with a high sedimentation rate. The 14C data on fragile and robust planktic foraminiferal shells were concordant with each other, ensuring high quality of the reconstructed ventilation record. The radiocarbon activity changes were consistent with the atmospheric record, suggesting that no massive mixing of old carbon from the abyssal reservoir occurred throughout the glacial to deglacial periods.

The surfaces of the microlenses at the conical end-faces of optical fibers require high quality to keep the best performance of laser beam delivery. The polishing parameters play an important role to get the best quality of the microlenses. Most of the past researches study on the polishing parameters of flat surfaces. In this study, the polishing area of the conical end-face of the optical fiber is varied during fabrication. The relation between removed volume and removed thickness is built to determine the material removal rate. An experiment is carried out and the results show that the first two spinning turns are much effective for polishing under the parameters of the experiment.

Milking Machine

Advisory officers and milking machine manufacturers have, in the past, criticised scientists on the ground, it is claimed, that no attempt is made to describe developments associated with farming in terms which can be understood by intelligent laymen. This article deals with the specific problem of the effects of the milking machine on milk quality. It suggests one approach to the problem of machine design. There may well be other solutions which have not yet been explored. It is realised that the requirements for high quality milk production may contradict the needs of the farmer with a large herd who is short of labour. There is also the problem of mastitis. These aspects will be examined in later articles in the series, with the thought that, out of an up-to-date consideration of all the problems involved, a working solution will emerge which will be economical, efficient and available to New Zealand farmers.

The Past

Resulting from the development of management theory in the past few years, knowledge management has emerged, which is identifying information of value and how to use it well, as well as understanding cognitive assets of an organization and how to exploit them. Knowledge management is important and necessary for the survival of an organization and its superiority. It can be integrated into the philosophy of total quality management to play a role in the development of the basis of performance of modern organizations. The total quality management philosophy seeks to achieve customer satisfaction through the commitment of the leadership of an organization and its workers by a process of continuous improvement of the quality of performance in various aspects of an organization. This chapter aims to identify the integration between knowledge management and total quality management, when applied to public Jordanian universities as a sample for the study. The chapter found the presence of integrity and a strong correlation between knowledge management and total quality management.

History Learning

History learning should prioritize local wisdom values that grow in their respective communities. This is, so that future generations do not lose their identity and pride in their region. In learning local history, the next generation must know and understand what happened in the past in their society. This causes future generations to learn from their predecessors and be able to take local wisdom values. Therefore, local history material in history learning in senior high schools is vital. This study aimed to determine the use of local historical sources, teacher preparation in learning, the delivery process, and students' understanding of history learning. The form of this research is qualitative with a research strategy using case studies. The results showed that SMA N 1 Pontianak was better at utilizing local historical sources. This is because the quality of teachers and supporting facilities are of high quality. The SMA N 1 learning implementation plan at the design stage has also included local history materials. Then the delivery process in both schools shows that the teachers are good enough and creative and adjust to each school's conditions. Then the understanding of students in both schools to learn local history is good enough. This is due to students' interest in these materials.

Products in the market are expected to satisfy the consumer’s quality requirements. Agriculture being one of the main occupation of the people of India, the raw products must be sorted to determine whether they fit the quality description so that high quality products are obtained as the end result. The proposed method is designed to ensure the availability of good quality coconut oil in the market by assessing the quality of each individual sample going into the production line. 70% of moisture content present naturally in copra(dried coconut kernel) is dried to almost 7% for coconut oil production. To prevent the growth of bacteria and fungus on the surface of the copra, sulphur is added as a preservative. Allergenic reactions and lung performance restrictions can be caused due to the presence of sulphur in copra. The presence of moisture may also adversely affect oil quality. The texture features such as wrinkles, moulds, fungi growth on the surface also deplete the oil quality. The features of different kinds of copra are analysed and is used train the machine. The machine learning methodology is adopted for the classification of copra as usable and unusable.

BACKGROUND The continuous development of mobile applications, or “apps”, has led to many healthcare professionals using them in clinical settings; however, little research is available to guide occupational therapists (OTs) in choosing quality apps for use in their respective clinical settings. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of the most frequently noted mobile apps used by OTs. METHODS A previous study surveying OTs’ use of apps in therapy compiled a list of apps frequently noted. Twenty-five of these apps were evaluated individually by two trained researchers using the uMARS, a simple, multidimensional analysis tool that can be easily used to evaluate the quality of apps. RESULTS The top 10 apps had a total quality score of 4.3, or higher, out of 5 based on the mean scores of engagement, functionality, and aesthetics. Apps scored highest in functionality and lowest in engagement. Apps noted most frequently were not always high-quality apps; apps noted least frequently were not always low-quality apps. CONCLUSIONS Determining the effectiveness of using apps in clinical settings must be built upon a foundation of the implementation of high-quality apps. Mobile apps should not be incorporated into clinical settings solely based on frequency of use. The uMARS should be considered as a useful tool for OTs, and other professionals, to determine app quality.
