Electrochemical technology for the killing of pathogens has been largely investigated. Lately, Ni et al. [1] published excellent research on the disinfection efficiency of a carbon fiber-based flow-through electrode system (FES) versus Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and fecal coliform) and Gram-positive bacteria (Enterococcus faecalis and Bacillus subtilis) in normal saline over a large span of applied voltages (1 - 5 V) and hydraulic retention times (HRTs) (1 - 10 s). They established...

Use of hand sanitizers has become a cornerstone in clinical practice for the prevention of disease transmission between practitioners and patients. There are a number of hand sanitizers sold on the Ugandan market with labels on their packages that claim that the hand sanitizer can kill 99.999% of germs and also there are hospitals that embarked on the local production of alcohol based hand sanitizer whose efficacy data are not locally available. Objective: To evaluate antibacterial efficacy of l...

In Saudi Arabia, access to healthcare is considered as a human right for citizens and residents. Admittedly, there are spatial inequalities in access to care services between the inhabitants of cities and those of rural areas of the Kingdom. In the urban area of Jeddah, and like other Saudi urban areas, the distribution of healthcare equipment, and especially of basic state health centers (dispensaries), is very uneven. However, very few studies have been produced in this context. In this work, ...

Thanks to its performance in eliminating color, UV absorbance, trace organic compounds, and microorganisms, ozone application in treating water has acquired vogue. The intensification of mass transfer and mixing in ozone-founded disinfection methods stays so crucial to attaining the desired disinfection level at an acceptable price. This work discusses the growing tendency of improving ozone diffusion for better water disinfection. Researchers suggested a new procedure of ozonation supported by ...

The purpose of this study is to examine the information dynamics of undergraduate students studying in higher education institutions in one of the GCC nations-Kuwait University. This study will help instructors and librarians to understand the challenges that students face when seeking information. This study can help in designing instructional information literacy programs that target student’s needs. Also, it can help improve systems and services at educational institutions. A survey was used ...

In this article, we consider subclasses of functions with bounded turning for normalized analytic functions in the unit disk, we investigate certain conditions under which the partial sums of the modi？ed Caputo’s fractional derivative operators of analytic univalent functions of bounded turning are also of bounded turning.

Skin infections are common disorders responsible for hospital attendance in the pediatric practice. Unfortunately, the epidemiology of these infections in tertiary facilities is both unstudied and underreported. Therefore, the burden of skin infections among children in Ghana remains indistinct. This hospital-based study sought to evaluate skin infections among children attending the Ho Teaching Hospital (HTH). In this retrospective study, the electronic medical records of children aged 0 to 14 ...

The complex structure of the abiotic factors in the Lesser Antilles leads to singular vegetation ranging from the dry to the humid. Geomorphology by means of the wide variety of topographic facets is the determining parameter which leads to gradients of mesological factors. Among the latter, both on the windward and leeward facades, the precipitation is distinguished by bioclimatic staging associated with plant stagings which consist of a mosaic of phytocenoses of variable sizes, ages, floristic...

This paper is complementary to the work of Shareef and Mahmood in 2019, on the effect of the movement of orbits within each English letter was prepared using the partition theory. The difference from the research referred to here is that we will adopt a word from any number of English letters and study this movement on the 2nd and 3rd orbits and study the difference here in the new case about what is present only with one letter of the English language letters which was discussed in the Part I.

Cold atmospheric pressure plasma generated at atmospheric air produces high energetic electrons, ions, UV radiations, reactive oxygen, and nitrogen species (RONS) which has a wide range of applications in biomedicine, agriculture, textiles, water treatment, etc. Recently, many researches have been carried out on ozonation through DBD (Dielectric barrier discharge) plasma in water treatment. However, direct plasma treatment on water hasn’t been extensively studied yet. In this study, we examined ...
