Integration of Social Life Cycle Assessment Principles in Holistic Evaluation of Islamic Education by Moh Tahrikul Hukamak, Abd Mannan, Kusaeri Kusaeri, Suparto Suparto

“…According to the results of a systematic review of thirty-two chosen articles, S-LCA is a method for assessing social factors and social impacts at every stage of a product or service's life cycle, from the extraction of raw materials to the production process, distribution, use, and management. This systematic review identified at least five core ethical principles as the theoretical and practical foundation for the use of S-LCA: social and humanitarian justice, full life cycle analysis, transparency and participatory involvement, social and cultural contextualization, and sustainability and social transformation. …”

Eccentricity Parameters Identification for a Motorized Spindle System Based on Improved Maximum Likelihood Method by Wengui Mao, Chaoliang Hu, Jianhua Li, Zhonghua Huang, Guiping Liu

“…The search algorithm used in the maximum likelihood method to identify the eccentricity parameters of the electrospindle system is computationally intensive, and the sensitivity in the iterative process brings some numerical problems. This paper introduces an Advance-Retreat Method (ARM) of the search interval to the maximum likelihood method, the unknown parameter increment obtained by the maximum likelihood method is used as the step size in the iteration, and the Advance-Retreat Method of the search interval is used to adjust the next design point so that the objective function value is gradually decreasing. …”

Determining signalling nodes for apoptosis by a genetic high-throughput screen. by Bevan Lin, Derek Huntley, Ghada Abuali, Sarah R Langley, George Sindelar, Enrico Petretto, Sarah Butcher, Stefan Grimm

“…Careful sequence analysis and functional annotation showed that the apoptosis factors exhibit a distinct functional distribution that distinguishes the cell death process from other signalling pathways. While only a minority of classic signal transducers were determined, a substantial number of the genes fall into the transporter- and enzyme-category. …”
