Most of these approaches do not take into account the fluid properties of blood, a non-Newtonian fluid, leading to enormous uncertainties. For perpendicular impact blood stains, simple mathematical models based on fluid dynamics are used to determine the spreading factor and number of spines. We evaluate some of the mathematical models in this study with experimental data obtained as a function of impact height using a blood substitute. A blood substitute, which has comparable fluid properties as human blood, was preferred because using human blood for laboratory purpose has many ethical issues. The study shows that the spreading pattern and number of spines obtained from the low-velocity drip stains of circular shape using the blood substitute improves the prediction accuracy of the blood source’s vertical height from target surface. We also conducted a qualitative analysis of its spreading mechanism on different substrates with regard to surface roughness. The results indicate that a reconstructional analysis for the drip stains is possible using the suggested blood substitute. More research has to be done for evaluating its performance in all velocity ranges and all impact angles.","PeriodicalId":503593,"journal":{"name":"ASM Science Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139238340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early savings planning needs to be paid serious attention to ensure a good and comfortable life after retirement. However, behaviour towards savings for retirement is related to money attitude as it is how an individual behaves or reacts to money. Each person is believed to have different views and behaviours towards money and income, especially regarding retirement savings. As such, this study aims to investigate the effect of money attitudes on retirement savings behaviour. The survey approach was employed and conducted using questionnaires developed by adopting several studies and then randomly distributed via an online platform. A total of 160 respondents from 250 targeted respondents successfully answered the questionnaire and were used for further analysis. The collected sample suggested a successful response rate of 64%, more than enough to allow for population-wide generalisation of the findings. The analyses conducted were the pilot test for the initial screening of the items in the questionnaire, descriptive statistics, multicollinearity test, and the ordered Probit model. This study revealed mixed findings on the relationship between the type of money attitudes and retirement savings behaviour, indicating that people with different attitudes towards money will have different perceptions of savings for retirement.","PeriodicalId":503593,"journal":{"name":"ASM Science Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139249831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the modulatory effects of MDMA on serotonin neurotransmission and its neurotoxicity in the central nervous system are well studied, MDMA’s effects on modulating microglial neuroimmune functions have attracted considerable attention. Resident glial cells, including microglia in the brain, are implicated in contributing to MDMA-induced neurotoxicity. In their response to the disturbances around neurons, microglia can take on the role of the first line of defence against pathogens by the production of a variety of inflammatory mediators such as tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL) 1β, IL-6, nitric oxide (NO), and reactive oxygen species (ROS). They also can act as anti-inflammatory mediators to initiate recovery from an insult. Hence, the current review illuminates MDMA-induced neurotoxicity by summarising studies reporting microglial activation after MDMA exposure in vitro and in vivo. A modulation between cytotoxic states to a neuroprotective state of microglia probably can make up an important strategy to reduce the negative impairments made by MDMA on neuronal cells by targeting microglial cells.","PeriodicalId":503593,"journal":{"name":"ASM Science Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139263079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to determine and compare the indoor air chemical parameters; carbon dioxide (CO₂), carbon monoxide (CO), and total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) at different ship conditions (alongside and sailing) and engine sequences (idling, cruising, full ahead and slowing down). The parameters were measured in four compartments, following the Industry Code of Practice on Indoor Air Quality 2010 (ICOP IAQ 2010). At different ship conditions, there were significant differences of indoor air chemical parameters in the common room, electrical room, and accommodation area 2. However, no trend of higher or lower concentrations was observed between the conditions due to ship operation, human activities, and occupancy. The engine sequences affect the indoor air chemical parameters, where the CO concentrations were recorded higher in all compartments, especially when the engine was running at 1000 rpm. In conclusion, the navy crew could be exposed to unacceptable IAQ conditions regardless of ship conditions and engine sequences. It is good to highlight that good ventilation is crucial to dilute the air pollutants onboard.","PeriodicalId":503593,"journal":{"name":"ASM Science Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139267519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent decades, many extrapolative mortality models have been developed following the Lee-Carter model. Despite the widely used Lee-Carter model for projecting mortality rates, the literature that has a thorough explanation of it is limited. In this study, we aim to provide a comprehensive explanation of the model with a focus on its fitting and simulation forecasting techniques. We fitted the mortality rates of the Malaysian population for the years 1991 to 2012 using the Lee-Carter model. We then projected the mortality rates for the years 2013 to 2018 using an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) (0,1,0) model by using a simulation of the mortality index. Findings showed that the Lee-Carter model performs well for this dataset based on the computed standard accuracy measures. The estimated age parameters exhibited a high mortality rate in the age group of 0-4 years, while the estimated time-varying parameter indicated a decreasing trend. This study presents a thorough interpretation of the Lee-Carter model and a detailed simulation of the ARIMA (0,1,0) model and hence provides a comprehensive reference for beginners in mortality studies.","PeriodicalId":503593,"journal":{"name":"ASM Science Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139268614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abundant agricultural waste (AW) and organic municipal solid waste (MSW) in this region hold promise as potential replacements for fossil fuels, offering a pathway to generate electricity while reducing GHG emissions. The innovative gasification approach, particularly the combined heat and power (CHP) system, emerges as a viable solution to address these challenges. However, the operational design of conventional gasification processes typically using a single type of fuel from various discarded resources, such as agricultural waste (e.g., woodchips and coconut shells) and organic MSW, remains controversial. To address these concerns, the present study investigates the power pallet system's capability and reliability to generate electricity from diverse mixed ratios of organic MSW to agricultural waste via a simulation approach. The results demonstrated that power generation remained above 20kW for all mix ratios. It was observed that as the ratio of MSW increased, the composition of hydrogen and carbon monoxide decreased. These trends suggest that power generation is influenced by the syngas yield, which correlates with the quality of the feedstock.","PeriodicalId":503593,"journal":{"name":"ASM Science Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139267191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
