Zafar Projected Differential Transform and laplace projected differential transform methods as exact solution methods for Klein- Gordon equations

Gbodogbe, Sunday Oluwafemi

Abstract

In this study, we propose two innovative numerical methods for solving Klein- Gordon equations: the Zafar Projected Differential Transform Method (ZPDTM) and the Laplace Projected Differential Transform Method (LPDTM). By integrating the Zafar and Laplace transforms respectively with the Projected Differential Transform Method, these approaches offer improved computational efficiency and enhanced solution accuracy. The performance of both methods is demonstrated through their application to linear and nonlinear forms of the Klein-Gordon equation, showing strong agreement with exact solutions and reduced computational overhead. These results highlight the versatility and reliability of ZPDTM and LPDTM in addressing complex differential models encountered in physics and engineering. Keywords Zafar Transform; Laplace Transform; Projected Differential Transform; Klein- Gordon equations; Exact solution..

Synergistic effects of radiotherapy and Capsaicin on Colorectal Cancer (CaCo-2) and Normal Fibroblast (HDFn) cell lines in vitro

Hatif, Abbas R.

Abstract

Colorectal cancer is the second most frequent kind of cancer worldwide. The treatment may comprise surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. More than half of cancer treatments are derived from natural sources, such as capsaicin. The biggest challenge is to get the disease under control as much as possible while causing as little harm to the healthy tissues around it. Cells were treated with an extract, Capsaicin of (chili peppers) and irradiated at 1 Gy, 3 Gy and 5 Gy. The MTT test was used to determine viability, and absorbance was measured at 570 nm using a Counter reader (Mutiskan EX, Thermo Lab systems). Capsaicin extract has shown a potential radiosensitizing effect in vitro for colorectal cancer. The inhibition effect in the cell lines was not selective and is significantly different from conventional radiotherapy. Capsaicin extract from chili peppers concerted with radiation proved more effective in colorectal cancer cells than radiotherapy alone. Keywords Digital Transfor.....

Rat dissection alternatives in Biology education: a systematic literature review

Teoh, Chern Zhong

Abstract

Despite the importance of both rat dissection and alternatives for rat dissection, proponents for these alternatives became more apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic and post-pandemically. Incorporating humane education into the Malaysian education system, whereby 3R (reduction, replacement, or refinement) is urged, aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Utilising technology is an essential component of any 21st-century learning. Therefore, this study was carried out to explore the need for alternatives in rat dissection that provide both a high learning experience and feasibility using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) technique is employed. Examining selected literature revealed a substantial positive effect on the student's learning experience regarding perception, task performance, exam performance, and motivation. It is found to be either superior or equivalent to the i.....

Effect of mind-mapping instructional strategy on students achievement in Mathematics in Ogun State Nigeria

Abiodun, T.O

Abstract

Several studies have shown that using mind mapping as an approach to teaching Mathematics has a more positive impact on student achievement than traditional approaches. However, these studies did not address the effect of mind mapping in other countries, such as Nigeria, at a secondary school level; they focused more on digital mind_mapping for pre-service teachers. This study examined how students' mathematics achievement in Ogun State, Nigeria, was affected by the mind mapping instructional technique. Nonrandomized pre-test post-test control group design, or quasi-experimental non-equivalent group research design, was used. A simple random sample technique was used to assign one school to the experimental group and another school to the control group. The data required for the study was collected using the Mathematics Achievement Test, which has a reliability coefficient of 0.87 according to the Kuder-Richardson formula 20 (KR20). Four hypotheses were tested at the 0.05 significant l.....

Comparative analysis of particle grain size distribution and moisture content in beach and paddy field sediments

Nur Azlin Atikah Mohd Nasir

Abstract

This study aims to compare particle grain size and moisture content in samples from beach sediment and paddy fields. Grain size variations were measured along different zones and stations in a line transect at each location. The grain sizes for both study areas were determined using drysieving and a Laser Diffraction Particle Size Analyzer. Results showed that beach sediment mostly consists of medium sand, is moderately sorted, very negatively skewed, and extremely leptokurtic. In contrast, paddy field sediment is mostly very fine silt, very poorly sorted, negatively skewed, and very leptokurtic. The mean of particle grain size recorded in beach and paddy field were 1.57 _ 0.23 and 7.63 _ 0.44 respectively. Moisture content was measured using oven-drying method. The mean of moisture content recorded in beach and paddy field were 6.72 _ 5.01% and 52.03 _ 3.35% respectively. Results revealed that paddy fields have significantly higher moisture content than beach sediment. Descriptive ana.....
