Patient-centered care evolves around proper coordination between healthcare providers in consultation with patient needs. Oftentimes, children play a passive role in their health care because of the controversy around age and lack of consensual abilities. The impact of engaging children early on to empower decision-making skills has been proven to…[Read more]

It is known that each natural number greater than 1 can be expressed as a unique product of prime numbers, namely the prime factorization. For example, 84=2×2×3×7. By summing up all prime factors of 84, we obtain 2+2+3+7=14. Since 14=2×7, we further sum up all prime factors of 14 to obtain 2+7=9. Since 9=3×3 and 3+3=6, we can continue the same…[Read more]

A spectrophotometric procedure has been developed for determination of hydrocarbons, vegetable oils, animal fats, waxes, soaps, greases and related oily organic matter in aqueous phase. The water sample is acidified to a low pH (less than or equal to 2) and extracted with trichloroethane (methyl chloroform). Under controlled conditions, the oil…[Read more]

A spectrophotometric procedure has been developed for determination of oil and grease in aqueous phase. The water sample is acidified to a low pH (less than or equal to 2) and extracted with 1,1,2-trichloro-l,2,2-trifluoroethane (Freon 113, or CFC 113). Under controlled conditions, the oil and grease are extractable into a selected organic…[Read more]
