This study aims to distinguish Indonesian cashew nuts’ geographical origin based on their elemental profiles and chemical composition. Nine elements five components of nut samples were analyzed. The four micro-elements, Zn, Cu, Mn, Cr, macro elements, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Na, nuts determined using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Simultaneously, the moisture, ash, t...

We investigated the feasibility of the coexistence of CDMATDD micro cells under a CDMA-FDD macro cell network with both sharing the same frequency band. A dynamic channel allocation (DCA) algorithm decides on the basis of mutual interference which FDD band is to use for the micro cell TDD channel. On the assumption of giving the macro cell higher priority we investigated the lower bound probabi...

The fascial system is an integral part of the musculoskeletal system. It is a three-dimensional network of connective tissue spreading ubiquitously throughout the body, surrounding muscles, bones, internal organs, nerves, vessels, and other structures. The basic biophysical properties of the fascial system are determined by its structure and chemical composition. This study aimed to determine t...

Phosphate and sulfate are essential macro-elements for plant growth and development, and deficiencies in these mineral elements alter many metabolic functions. Nutritional constraints are not restricted to macro-elements. Essential metals such as zinc and iron have their homeostasis strictly genetically controlled, and deficiency or excess of these micro-elements can generate major physiologica...

Causal interactions within complex systems can be analyzed at multiple spatial and temporal scales. For example, the brain can be analyzed at the level of neurons, neuronal groups, and areas, over tens, hundreds, or thousands of milliseconds. It is widely assumed that, once a micro level is fixed, macro levels are fixed too, a relation called supervenience. It is also assumed that, although mac...
