Full textAbstract:
Few studies have investigated how television news is represented through data journalism. To fill this gap, this study compared data news content from South Korean and that from US television networks using the grounded theory method. The following differences were found: South Korean television networks ( KBS, SBS, MBC, and JTBC) highlight social issues, politics, and lifestyle; while American television networks ( ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN) cover the economy, social issues, and politics. Both television networks rely on government sources and seldom provide raw data. The South Korean networks use a static graph and an infographic most frequently, while the US networks favor a number pull quote and a static graphic. The South Korean networks prefer complex, visually appealing elements (e.g., an infographic), while the American networks prefer less complex and less visually appealing elements (e.g., a number pull quote). The South Korean networks prefer the news forms of ‘visualization,’ ‘condensity,’ and ‘typification,’ and the US networks prefer ‘visualization,’ ‘typification,’ ‘condensity,’ and ‘completeness.’ The degree of user participation is extremely low in both countries’ networks.

Full textAbstract:
Since the early 1980s, the eighteenth-century beginnings of German mass migration to North America have been the subject of intense research and writing. In spite of the multifaceted results of this research on both sides of the ocean, the textbook explanation of early German Atlantic migration has demonstrated a striking persistence. To quote from one of the best English-language textbooks on German social history, ‘from about 1750 on, over-population fuelled…the beginnings of the exodus to North America’. This interpretation is exactly where scholars such as Wolfgang von Hippel stood more than a decade ago, and it dovetails with the migration theories of German population sociology of the 1970s. But is it right? And what alternative explanations are available? The most important alternative to the received approach is offered by the concept of networks. As Charles Tilly put it, ‘categories stay put, networks move’. If emigrants moved along lines of contacts and information, we do not need to refer to strong push or pull factors in order to explain why they were ‘uprooted’ from the territorial categories to which they belonged. Chain migration can be interpreted as a self-generating and self-sustaining process, a system in itself. In this perspective, migration becomes more and more likely because of flows of information, credit or capital between the areas involved in migration – contacts created by migration cause additional migration.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The response of an ocean bottom seismometer (OBS) to a transient pull that excites the natural OBS-sediment coupling resonance can be modeled as a mass-spring-dashpot system in which the resonant frequency and damping are functions of instrument mass and bearing radius and of the physical properties of the sediment (primarily the shear modulus). For the very soft sediments sometimes found on the sea floor, this resonance may be within the main frequency band of interest (2 to 15 Hz) for many common instrument configurations. To test the model and to find an anchor that would shift the coupling resonance to a higher frequency and decrease its amplitude, we conducted a series of tests which measured the response of the vertical and horizontal components of the U.S. Geological Survey OBS to transient pulls as a function of anchor configuration and sediment properties. The tested anchors included a concrete “flowerpot,” a tripod, a plate, and a perforated plate. Sites were on soft, organic-rich ooze and on firm sand. Several small shots were also fired at the ooze site in order to compare the response of the plate and “flowerpot” anchors to seismic signals. For a given anchor at a given site, the observed response was very repeatable. We found that the model predicts the vertical coupling response quite well and that good vertical coupling can be achieved with the plate or perforated-plate anchors. The response to the horizontal pulls, however, was similar and resonant for all anchors.

This study assessed the willingness of French youth to go and study or work for some time in another EU country. We examined three types of questions: (a) What is the overall level of willingness to go in another EU country? Does age, gender or socioeconomic status (SES) of the family influence this overall level? Which country do French youth prefer to go to? (b) Is a four-factor Push-Anti-Push-Pull-Anti-Pull model able to account for data regarding attitudes toward other countries and attitudes toward France? (c) Is this model able to predict willingness to go and study or work in another EU country, both generally and for individual countries? The overall level of willingness to go to other EU countries was not very high. Except for the United Kingdom the mean response was always located closer to the “No” pole than to the “Quite possible” pole. Gender, age, and educational level of the father did not play a role. Participants clearly preferred the United Kingdom and Spain to Germany or The Netherlands. Exploratory factor analysis showed a clearly interpretable Push-Anti-Push-Pull-Anti-Pull solution, and confirmatory factor analysis showed that this structure fits the attitudes data very well according to the usual indices. This general model, however, did not explain much of the “intent-to-go” variance. In addition, specific Pull attractiveness considerations (liking and knowing the country) played, beyond the general Push-Pull model, a notable role in the determination of willingness to go and study or work in each of the 14 EU countries.

This research aimed to identify the push and pull factors of the motivation of senior tourists from Asia and non-Asia in choosing Bali as their destination, as well as examining any differences in the push and pull factors of both groups of nationality. Exploratory factor analysis that was continued with differences analysis were completed to analyse the data. Results revealed six factors that pushed seniors to travel to Bali: 1) exploring and increasing knowledge about the local culture, 2) quality time and visiting nostalgic places with close accompanies, 3) relaxation and having fun, 4) spending time with family members, 5) rejuvenation and health, 6) sharing about destination experience. In addition, there were four pull factors namely: 1) hospitality services and tourist attractions, 2) local culture, 3) natural scenery and climate, 4) quite rest area. While significant differences shown between Asian and non-Asian in factors that intrinsically pushed them totravel to Bali, no significant differences appeared between senior tourists from two groups of nationaliy in considering Bali’s destination attributes that pulled them to visit the island.

Full textAbstract:
Adhesion in this system is one of the most important factors that affect the reliability and durability of repair. According to the many standards and guidelines, e.g. new European Standard EN 1504-10 and ACI Concrete Repair Manual, a pull-off test is recommended for assessment of a bond quality in repair systems. The use of pull-off test, due to its semi-destructive character, is restricted by owners and managers. Therefore, the elaboration of reliable nondestructive method for an adhesion mapping could provide a quite advantageous alternative. Repair system is difficult to test with NDT methods, because of the many factors influencing the stress wave propagation. In this paper the possibility of application of various NDT methods for quality control of repair efficiency, including estimation of the bond strength, is discussed.

An improved DMT adhesion model in conjunction with an elastic-plastic contact model is used to study adhesion of contacting metallic rough surfaces. The effects of surface roughness and surface energy of adhesion on the pull-off force and on the significance of the adhesion force are investigated. It is shown that for clean surfaces the adhesion is quite large even for relatively rough surfaces. Adhesion is negligible only for contaminated rough surfaces or at very high external loading.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Despite serious health risks having been described, traditional enemas are still often used in African traditional medicine. We aim to report two cases of complications secondary to traditional enemas, to illustrate how severe the injuries can be, and to describe the use of a Swenson type endoanal pull-through and a posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) as surgical options. Case Description A 2-year-old girl presented with a necrotic rectum after a traditional enema administration. At admission, she required a laparotomy, colostomy fashioning, and extensive debridement of her rectum and perineum. She subsequently had a pull-through of the descending colon using a PSARP approach, a covering loop ileostomy, and a Malone Antegrade Continence Enema. The ileostomy was reversed at the age of 3 years of age and she is now clean with rectal washouts.The second case was a one- and a half-year-old boy with full-thickness burns to the perineum and rectum secondary to a hot-water enema. A colostomy was initially brought out and pulled through 7 months post the initial surgery. He is now growing well and is fully continent to stools. Conclusions The potential complications associated with the practice of administering at-home enemas can be quite devastating. A transanal pull-through and a PSARP have been proven to be successful techniques in patients who have suffered rectal burns due to traditional enemas.

Full textAbstract:
Video captioning, i.e., the task of generating captions from video sequences creates a bridge between the Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision domains of computer science. The task of generating a semantically accurate description of a video is quite complex. Considering the complexity, of the problem, the results obtained in recent research works are praiseworthy. However, there is plenty of scope for further investigation. This paper addresses this scope and proposes a novel solution. Most video captioning models comprise two sequential/recurrent layers—one as a video-to-context encoder and the other as a context-to-caption decoder. This paper proposes a novel architecture, namely Semantically Sensible Video Captioning (SSVC) which modifies the context generation mechanism by using two novel approaches—“stacked attention” and “spatial hard pull”. As there are no exclusive metrics for evaluating video captioning models, we emphasize both quantitative and qualitative analysis of our model. Hence, we have used the BLEU scoring metric for quantitative analysis and have proposed a human evaluation metric for qualitative analysis, namely the Semantic Sensibility (SS) scoring metric. SS Score overcomes the shortcomings of common automated scoring metrics. This paper reports that the use of the aforementioned novelties improves the performance of state-of-the-art architectures.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores push and pull factors affecting the adoption of crowdsourced delivery or crowd-shipping systems using a structural equation method. The core data used in this study are obtained from an online survey distributed among 800 individuals in June 2016 in the United States (U.S.) Analyzing the answers of 533 respondents, the direct and indirect effects of the personal attitudes, socio-demographic, and built-environment variables on the likelihood to be a crowd-shipper are looked at. The model suggests that crowd-shipping is more likely for men, full time employed, younger respondents, and for areas of higher population density yet lower density of employment opportunities. Concerning attitudinal motivations, the results suggest that financially motivated users are less likely to become crowd-shipping users, while community orientation and viewing the platform as a platform for helping relationships has only indirect effects on use. This leads to the observation that the early adopters appear to hold quite distinct, more critical, views of the ability of the new shipping platforms to deliver affordable and community-building service.

Full textAbstract:
A method was developed to estimate the composition of deinked pulp or recovered paper in termsof hardwood kraft pulp, softwood kraft pulp, and mechanical pulp through analysis of the sugar units in hemicellulosesand pectins. Different pulps (i.e., bleached chemical pulp from hardwoods and softwoods and mechanical pulp) were obtainednfrom different mills. The pulps were mixed in different proportions and dried. The content of arabinose, xylose, mannose, galactose, rhamnose, galacturonic acid, and 4-O-methyl-glucuronic acid, sugar units in hemicelluloses and pectins in the different pulps and in the mixtures were determined by acid methanolysis and gas chromatography. The contents of the sugar units were significantly different in the three pulp types but quite similar in the same pulp type, irrespectively of bleaching sequence. The modeling was performed using standard partial least squares regression (PLSR) and cross-validation using venetian blinds subsets. The data were autoscaled before regressions. The best model had two latent variables. The cumulative variation of X captured by the model was 0.988 (R2X), the cumulative variation of Y captured by the model was also 0.988 (R2Y), and the cumulative cross-validated variation of Y captured by the model was 0.974 (Q2). Accordingly, the PLS model is more than capable of predicting the validation set. It was concluded that the proportion of chemical pulp from hardwoods, chemical pulp from softwoods, and mechanical pulp can be estimated in recovered paper or deinked pulp using a mathematical model based on the content of selected sugar units in hemicelluloses and pectins.

Shift-share analysis results with either the conventional model or the DEM model are identical at the regional level. At the industrial level, however, the two models are quite different. In the author's original article, he indicated that he believed the DEM model to be superior to the conventional model at the industrial level in its analytical, interpretive, and policy qualities. DEM's homothetic approach as well as its reallocation of the growth and mix effects are more didactic than conventional model results. Neither shift-share model is a growth model nor designed for analyzing demand-pull or foreign competition factors.

A laboratory model test of tunnel anchor was conducted to investigate its pullout mechanism and bearing capacity. Surface and rock deformation, strain and stress were measured during the entire model test process. The results show that: under pull out load, tensile failure first occurs in top surface rock near the anchor, then shear failure occurs in anchor-rock interface and rock around the anchor. The failure surface is inverted cone from the anchor bottom. Under 50 times design cable force tunnel rock is in elastic stage, suggesting that current tunnel anchor design is quite conservative and can be further optimized.

To date, there is a theory that increased resistance to caries is observed in the teeth, which for any reason underwent destructive changes in the pulp. That is why there is a need to study the impact of pulp vitality on the development of the carious process. The aim of the research was to study the microscopic structure of epoxy sections of intact and carious third molars. We studied 4 intact and 6 carious third molars. For this purpose, specimens were made taking into account the free penetration of the fixative solution into the pulp. To this end, immediately after the tooth was removed, we cut off its roots almost near the crown, preserving the integrity of the latter. The method relied on the impregnation of specimens with epoxy resin, according to the method of epoxy plastination of tooth specimens, developed at the Department of Human Anatomy of Ukrainian Medical Stomatological Academy. The epoxy blocks were cut with a disk into two halves until the hard tissues of the tooth crown were exposed together with the pulp. We found that the hard tissues (dentin and enamel coating) of intact third molars did not have any structural defects. However, their pulp chamber contained mainly an amorphous substance, devoid of any typical pulp tissue structures. That is, the pulp was in a state of complete devolution. Quite the opposite presentation was observed in specimens of carious teeth. We found that their pulp chamber contained quite noticeable tissue structures typical of the dental pulp. It is interesting that in the subodontoblastic layer, in front of the carious alteration of the enamel, there was compaction of the pulp, which may be due to infiltration of perivascular connective tissue by immunocompetent cells. It was found that on the border with carious destruction of enamel, there was a compacted spot of altered dentin, whose matrix was intensely pigmented in brown colour, due to the accumulation of melanin on the dentino-enamel junction. Its excessive formation is associated with the destruction of protein-carbohydrate complexes of organic matter in the deep layers of dentin. We found that the pulp compaction and the focus of carious alteration of the enamel are projectively connected by a radial cord of altered dentin, known in the literature as “dead tracts”. Hence, there is reason to believe that the identified changes indicate a latent form of caries, with a pulpogenic mechanism of development. Thus, it can be argued that the teeth, which for any reason underwent degenerative changes in the pulp, are not prone to carious lesions, whereas in carious teeth, the pulp is active and involved in the pathogenesis of the carious process.

Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) is known as a protein that induces new bone in heterotopic sites. This study was conducted to assess the cell-biological effects of crude porcine BMP and 3 pulp-capping materials by implantation and cell culture methods. The following results were obtained: a new bone site of approx 5mm in diameter were induced in the hind limbs, which confirmed the osteoinductive activity of the crude BMP. The pulp-capping materials hardly influenced the calcification of rat dental pulp (RDP) cells. Our data also suggest that the effect of the crude BMP on the proliferation and calcification depended on its quantity. The finding of a large increase in the ALPase activity and the formation of mineralized nodules caused by the crude BMP , suggests that the crude BMP enhanced the calcification by RDP cells. Consequently, it is quite possible that crude porcine BMP could be used as a pulp-capping material.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Microtubules are dynamic polymers that grow and shrink through addition or loss of tubulin subunits at their ends. Microtubule ends generate mechanical force that moves chromosomes and cellular organelles, and provides mechanical tension. Recent literature describes a number of proteins and protein complexes that couple dynamics of microtubule ends to movements of their cellular cargoes. These ‘couplers’ are quite diverse in their microtubule-binding domains (MTBDs), while sharing similarity in function, but a systematic understanding of the principles underlying their activity is missing. Here, I review various types of microtubule couplers, focusing on their essential activities: ability to follow microtubule ends and capture microtubule-generated force. Most of the couplers require presence of unstructured positively charged sequences and multivalency in their microtubule-binding sites to efficiently convert the microtubule-generated force into useful connection to a cargo. An overview of the microtubule features supporting end-tracking and force-coupling, and the experimental methods to assess force-coupling properties is also provided.

I would like to start with an anecdote. When my daughter was five weeks old, she had a stiff neck, and almost couldn't turn her head at all to her left. So, my wife and I went to see an osteopath. The doctor's practice was a family business: father and son—both of them neurologists and chiropractors—work on scores of bodies day by day, manipulating and treating them. The father is also an osteopath; the son is still learning to become one. We saw the son. He treated our daughter who screamed and turned red and in turn got her back straightened, but not quite as straight as it should have been. So, the son got his father, who showed him another trick or two, explained them to his son and to us, and left again. Our daughter was now really aligned, and the son said: “Well, this is how it goes. I am still learning. While I push and pull and push and pull, my father just needs one grip and the work is done.” Our daughter sneezed. “Do we need to come back?” we asked. “No, one time is sufficient. Good-bye,” he replied and left for his next patient.

Full textAbstract:
Changes in the way people use information come from the concept of the most primitive human migration rule. Scholars hold that migration can be considered as a switching of people’s place of residence, but the migration of people is not limited to the migration of residence. The marketing field also borrows the population migration theory to further explore the switching behavior of customers; educationalists also discuss migration of learning through migration theory. In this regard, the migration of human beings is a process of historical evolution, though it takes several decades to understand history from the perspective of such evolution. Hence, if there is a decision-making system that simulates evolution and estimation through 3D graphics, then players may better understand the impact of environmental migration and changes on humanity. This study adopts Push-Pull-Mooring (PPM) theory to explain the migration of human beings. Push is generated from people’s dissatisfaction with their place of residence, Pull is from attractions of the new environment, and personal mooring produces the intention of switching. A set of Gamification Environmental Education Applications (GEEA) and a migration scale for such apps are developed herein to explain the state where computer gamers switch to mobile app games. The results show that all four hypotheses are supported, and the path coefficient of each hypothesis is highly significant. The R2 values of five intrinsic constructs are Push (R2 = 0.321), Mooring (R2 = 0.574), Pull (R2 = 0.413), Switching intention (SI) (R2 = 0.552), and SB (R2 = 0.626), where the R2 value of SB is quite high, indicating that the relationship between the switching behavior (SB) and the four precursors exhibits great explanatory power. Hence, the explanatory power of this model is convincing, and the teaching materials designed through gamification education deliver better learning outcomes.

This paper covers the experiences of the authors based on the studies and developments made within the company over the years, where improvements on furnace design have always been a major issue. Developments have been achieved by driving forces like requirements for higher glass quality, different products, and increased number of product changes, energy efficiencies, lower investment cost and environmental challenges. Although in the glass world today there are studies and projects to develop different radical melting techniques, like plasma melting, submerged combustion, segmented melter and vacuum refiners being the most promising among the many, the progress going from pilot to full scale is slow and not all the glass manufacturers are giving enough funds to support these projects. Even though the conventional furnace technology is quite mature and energy performances of the most energy efficient furnaces [1] and pull rates are approaching near to the limits, there are still differences between the energy consumptions, pull rates and life of furnaces in glass industry today. Many small steps can be taken at different areas like optimizing furnace design criteria, refractory selection, use of additional equipments, and development of sensors, better combustion equipment, advanced control systems. These all add to continuous incremental developments for each project and give us opportunity to progress with feedback from onsite applications.

In June of 1948, during the peak period of strike activity in the United States in the past fifty years, Philip Murray, President of the CIO, the most successful militant labor organization of the twentieth century, published an article giving his views on labor organization, democracy, and “our American system.” He argued that “if we pull together . . . we shall surmount the present crisis.” He felt confident about his prediction because, he said, “We have no classes in this country; that’s why the Marxist theory of class struggle has gained so few adherents. We’re all workers here. And in the final analysis the interests of farmers, factory hands, business and professional people, and white-collar toilers prove to be the same” (Murray, 1948; quoted in Lipsitz, 1981: 143).

The Lambert Report of the interaction between business and universities confirms what the Biochemical Society has been stating for several years in policy submissions to the government — that the major problem is a lack of business pull for knowledge transfer rather than of university push. The Report largely excludes the pharmaceutical and biotech industries from this criticism. It notes, however, that Britain is strong in basic research, but is less good at bringing ideas to market, and quotes the statistic that UK academic papers are cited by other researchers 53% more often than studies from Germany, but the latter makes 230% more patent applications. Sections of the Report dealing with how the situation might be improved illustrate some contradictions in existing policies.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Job 1:21a makes better sense when understood in light of the Egyptian idea of death as a return to the womb of the mother goddess; that mythology provides a much more likely context than the idea of “Mother Earth,” which is attested only in texts that are (or are likely to be) quite late. As in various other cases in the book (for example, in his expressions of preference for death) Job practices a kind of theological brinksmanship, crossing an apparent line only to pull back in the next breath or the next chapter. In light of the Hathor/womb headrests from the tombs at St. Étienne’s, it may be that Job’s theological rhetoric was not merely a literary invention.

The aim of the investigation was to evaluate the insertion torque, pull-out torque and implant stability quotient (ISQ) of short implants (SI) and standard length implants (ST) inserted into linearly elastic and constitutive isotropic symmetry polyurethane foam blocks. Short dental titanium implants with a Cone Morse connection and a conical shape (test implants: Test Implant A—diameter 5.5 mm and length 6 mm) (Test Implant B—diameter 5.5 mm and length 5 mm) were used for the present in vitro investigation. ST implants (4 mm diameter and 10 mm length), with a Cone Morse connection and a conical shape, were used as Control Implant A and as Control Implants B. These two latter implants had a different macro design. A total of 20 implants (5 Test A, 5 Test B, 5 Control A and 5 Control B) were used for the present research. The results were similar when comparing the Test A and Test B implants. The test implants had very good stability in polyurethane 14.88–29.76 kgm3 density blocks. The insertion torque values were very high for both types of test implant (25–32 Ncm on 14.88 kgm blocks, and up to 45 Ncm in 29.76 kgm3 blocks). The pull-out test values were very similar to the insertion torque values. The ISQ values were significantly high with 75–80 in 14.88 kgm3 blocks, and 78–83 in 29.76 kgm3 blocks. No differences were found in the values of the Control A and Control B implants. In both these implants, the insertion torque was quite low in the 14.88 kgm3 blocks (16–28 Ncm). Better results were found in the 29.76 kgm3 blocks. The pull-out values for these control implants were slightly lower than the insertion torque values. High ISQ values were found in both control implants (57–80). When comparing SI and ST implants, the SI had a similar if not better performance in low quality polyurethane foam blocks (14.88–29.76 kgm), corresponding to D3 and D4 bone.

ABSTRACTConcrete is the most used material in the world after water because of its good mechanical characteristics and its reasonable cost. However, reinforced concrete structures can be damaged by corrosion or other chemical attacks and require repair and maintenance. The repair materials need to satisfy some mechanical and physico-chemical characteristics. Ready-made repair mortars are widely used. However, they are quite expensive, generally imported and they frequently incorporate low volume of synthetic fibers. This paper reports an experimental investigation designing an environmental friendly repair mortar made of local mineral addition (natural pozzolan (PN) and slag (SL)) and local natural fibers. The natural fibers used are Alfa fibers and date palm tree fibers at a volume ratio of 0.75%. The physical and mechanical properties studied are compressive strength, bending strength, total shrinkage and bond strength by slant shear and pull-off tests. The durability of the mortar was assessed by water capillary absorption. The results are compared to those of a reference mortar. The results showed that the substitution of cement by slag and natural pozzolan lead to a decrease in shrinkage (at 28 days of age). The use of date palm and alfa fibers improves the bending strength but reduces compressive strength. According to the results of the pull-off tests, only mortars containing slag meet the minimum value (1.5 MPa) required by EN1504-3. The types of failures observed for most composites show that they can be successfully applied with 20 mm thick layers.

Background: The aim of the present study was to compare, in low-density polyurethane blocks, the primary implant stability values (micromobility) and removal torque values of three different implant geometries in two different bone densities representing the structure of the human posterior jaws. Methods: A total of 60 implants were used in the present investigation: twenty implants for each of three groups (group A, group B, and group C), in both polyurethane 10 pcf and 20 pcf densities. The insertion torque, pull-out torque, and implant stability quotient (ISQ) values were obtained. Results: No differences were found in the values of Group A and Group B implants. In both these groups, the insertion torques were quite low in the 10 pcf blocks. Better results were found in the 20 pcf blocks, which showed very good stability of the implants. The pull-out values were slightly lower than the insertion torque values. High ISQ values were found in Group A and B implants. Lower values were present in Group C implants. Conclusions: The present investigation evaluated implants with different geometries that are available on the market, and not experimental implants specifically created for the study. The authors aimed to simulate real clinical conditions (poor-density bone or immediate post-extraction implants) in which knowledge of dental implant features, which may be useful in increasing the primary stability, may help the oral surgeon during the surgery planning.

This article discusses benefits incurred by buyers and suppliers over the Internet. The benefits of using the Internet to pull a wider range of clients are clear for both buyer and supplier. Manufacturers buying parts can choose from a greater number of quotes and compare fees and supplier capabilities much more readily. Suppliers get to plumb a deeper market for customers who may seek their specialization or may be outside the geographical market they normally serve. A sea change has begun for companies of Intellipack’s size that seek suppliers. The online business model works well for manufacturers who find new suppliers on the Internet. The online service MfgQuote lets suppliers that pay to use the service bid on requests for quotes that are submitted by potential buyers. QuickParts in Atlanta, using the company’s QuickQuote software, lets buyers upload three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) data to the site and include their project specifications. Company founders developed the QuickQuote software that allows them to accept 3-D CAD files, analyze them, and quickly make a customized quotation that addresses the quantity and type of parts the vendor specified.

People of Kolaka accustomed to using coconuts as well be used as a food supplement or a mixture of additives in processed foods, cakes and other confectionary. Therefore utilizing coconut pulp as feed fish and poultry should be made to minimize the potential for household waste. Feed from coconut pulp is a transfer of science and technology to the people who are expected to help poor people to be productive. Fermentation is one method to process coconut pulp into feed ingredients. The fermentation process is done by using spores of Aspergillus niger. The fermentation process is done in stages, by aerobic fermentation followed by anaerobic fermentation (enzymatic process). In short the process of making feed "PA-BIO" from coconut pulp is: Dregs of coconuts added water, stirred and steamed. Cooled and then stirred together with a mixture of minerals, Aspergillus niger spores are added and stirred again until evenly distributed. The mixture was then fermented aerobically and unaerobically. Dregs fermented and then dried and packaged for later in packing. Based on the results of research that the utilization of coconut dregs as cattle feed and fish is potential. Miskiyah et al. (2006), increase protein content after fermentation of coconut pulp 11.35% to 26.09%, or by 130% and decreased fat content of 11.39%. The results also showed that the feed produced quite safe for livestock, namely the aflatoxin content <20 ppb. Feed from coconut pulp is also good for fish farming. Goenarso et al. (2002) on tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.), the faster fish growth with increasing the feed protein content of 25%, 30%, 35%, 40% and 45%.

Cycas revoluta seeds commonly take from a few months to a year or more to germinate and germination percentages are normally quite low. In an effort to improve germination, several seed treatments were tested. Seeds germinated better in dark than in the light. Removal of the pulp from seeds increased percent germination as compared to seeds with the pulp intact. Treatment of seeds or 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 or 2 hr with concentrated sulfuric acid increased seed germination. The application of gibberellic acid at concentrations of 500, 1000 or 5000 ppm did not affect germination as compared to controls. Seeds stored at room temperature for 6 months germinated more readily than seeds planted immediately. It is suggested that seeds stored at room temperature and scarified with concentrated sulfuric acid for 1 hr will exhibit improved germination.

ABSTRACT Thorough knowledge of the root canal morphology, appropriate assessment of the pulp chamber floor, and critical interpretation of radiographs are foundation for successful root canal therapy. Mandibular premolars have earned the reputation for having an aberrant anatomy, making them one of the most difficult teeth to manage endodontically. Therefore, clinician should be aware of the configuration of the pulp system as the incidence of having two roots in these teeth is quite rare. These two case reports present the clinical management of mandibular first premolar having two roots bifurcated at the mid-root level.

Deep placement of super granular urea is very laborious and time consuming work for manually operation. To overcome the human stress and drudgery to place the super granular urea, a low cost manually operated pull type 2- rows granular urea applicator (GUA) was designed and developed in the department of Farm Power and Machinery, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. The performance of machine was done in agronomy field of Bangladesh Agricultural University. The effective field capacity was 0.11 ha/hr at a forward speed of 1.78 km/hr and 78.89 % field efficiency of developed granular urea applicator. The average distance between two dropped granular urea (GU) from left hopper & right hopper were 40.64 cm and 40.89 cm respectively. The average missing rate of GU dropped during field operation was 1.65% for granular urea size of 2.83 gm. The depth of granular urea placement was 7-10 cm in puddle field. The pulling force and draft of the developed applicator were varied between 5-11 kg and 3-6.62 kg respectively. The draft power was 0.027 kW for 55.38 N pulling force at 1.78 km/hr speed. The application rate of the GUA was 170 kg/ha. The results of field and laboratory test of the developed applicator were better in comparison to other models of GUA. The operational cost of the applicator is 390 Tk/ha which is lower than 22.16% of BARI made push type GUA and 53% lower than the manually placement of GU. Average grain yield was highest (5234 kg/ha) when granular urea were applied by the developed applicator and followed by GU applied by BRRI made push type GUA (5213 kg/ha) and GU applied by manually (5209 kg/ha). The highest straw yield (6787 kg/ha) was obtained when GU applied by manually. However the differences of grain yields and straw yields were not significantly difference for applying GU by the applicators and manually operation. The manufacturing cost of the applicator is only Tk.6000. The weight and the drawbar power of the applicator were 15 kg and 0.03 kW respectively. Therefore one person (man or women) is enough to pull the machine. Overall performance of the applicator was found quite satisfactory. For this reason, the applicator may be introduced in Bangladesh to apply super granular urea. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jbau.v12i1.21414 J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 12(1): 211-220, June 2014

Power consumption is becoming more expensive by the day. This is not far from the fact that power generation is facing a lot of challenges coupled with increasing demand. Industrial sector power demand shares a significant proportion of this generated power. It is therefore a necessary task to manage well industrial energy use through appropriate energy efficiency methods practice so as to minimise energy losses. In this study energy efficiency opportunities in pulp and paper (P&P) mill are identified and the saving potential is then quantified. An energy flow model with the help of an energy audit are used to quantify energy supply, generation, conversion and end use thereby exposing areas of energy losses of the mill. This analysis will serve as an eye opener to future and current P&P making operations in South Africa, and as a base case for stimulating changes toward more efficient energy utilization in the pulp and paper industry. Quite a reasonable energy losses avenues were identified, audited and options of improvements suggested. The results proved that quite a sensible amount of energy is lost in the P&P case study and a near future look into the opportunities and barriers have been noted.

Cacao plays an important role in the Indonesian economy. One of the business entities engaged in cocoa commodity business activities is the Plea Puli Multipurpose Cooperative (KSU). The low number of cocoa purchases at the KSU Plea Puli is caused by various factors. One of them is competition with other cocoa buyers. Related to efforts to increase cocoa marketing, it is necessary to first know about the cocoa supply chain to the KSU Plea Puli. The purpose of this study is to analyze the cocoa supply chain to the KSU Plea Puli and strategies that can be implemented in increasing cocoa marketing. The study was conducted at KSU Plea Puli in East Nusa Tenggara. The main research instrument is a questionnaire. The determination of respondents to determine the cocoa supply chain to the KSU Plea Puli was conducted on member farmers using the Slovin formula and non-member farmers using quota sampling techniques. The number of respondents in this study were 60 people. The determination of informants to find out the cocoa supply chain to the KSU Plea Puli and the informants determining internal and external strategic factors was done purposively. The results showed that in the cocoa supply chain to the KSU Plea Puli, there were three types of flows managed, namely material, financial and information flows. The parties involved consisted of member farmers and not members and the KSU Plea Puli themselves. In addition, there are various activities carried out such as cocoa production and marketing by farmers and cocoa marketing operations by KSU Plea Puli. The results also show that 12 alternative strategies are possible to support efforts to increase cocoa marketing by increasing the number of purchases. Strategy priority based on the highest-ranking with a score of 5.75 that is giving special authority to managers to carry out cocoa marketing operations. The management is expected to be able to implement the results of the strategic management of cocoa marketing in the KSU Plea Puli with the priority of the strategy being to give special authority to the manager to carry out cocoa marketing operations. The existence of the Commodity Product Processing and Marketing Unit (UPPH) at the KSU Plea Puli needs to be maintained and developed. Farmers are expected to adopt good agricultural practices by implementing PsPSP which consists of frequent harvesting, pruning, sanitation, fertilization and soil, and plant health and pest and disease control. In addition, farmers are also encouraged to always maintain the quality of cocoa beans.

AbstractThis paper presents a novel GaN-based digital outphasing power amplifier (PA) for the 800 MHz range. The PA reaches a maximum output power of 5.8 W at 30 V final-stage (FS) drain supply voltage. A novel output combiner circuit is used and efficiency is improved by resonant commutation of the FSs and optimized driver circuits for the two GaN push-pull FSs. 3D electromagnetic simulation of output network has been conducted to extract an equivalent circuit model and to access full information in terms of functionality and broadband impedance characteristics for optimized outphasing operation in the final design. Measured total efficiencies (ηtot) of 59 and 25% at 0 and 10 dB power back-off are achieved, respectively, fitting the simulation quite well. The proposed digital outphasing module is a promising candidate for fully digitized base-station architectures in future wireless communications.

Small-scale agro-based pulp and paper mills are characterized as highly polluting industries. These mills use Kraft pulping process for paper manufacturing due to which toxic lignified chemicals are released into the environment. Lack of infrastructure, technical manpower, and research and development facilities restricts these mills to recover these chemicals. Therefore, the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the emanating stream is quite high. For solving the above problem, four bacteria were isolated from the premises of agro-based pulp and paper mill which were identified as species ofPseudomonas, Bacillus, Pannonibacter, andOchrobacterum. These bacteria were found capable of reducing COD up to 85%–86.5% in case of back water and 65-66% in case of back water : black liquor (60 : 40), respectively, after acclimatization under optimized conditions (pH 6.8, temperature 35°C, and shaking 200 rpm) when the wastewater was supplemented with nitrogen and phosphorus as trace elements.

Social harmony is a valued relational rule in collectivism. Using data from in-depth interviews with 20 Chinese American couples, the authors study how husbands and wives interpret and negotiate marital harmony within a multicultural context and how gender relates to this process. Although all participants appear to seek harmony, the result indicates two quite different forms. Structural harmony is based on traditional social norms that emphasize obligation to the whole. Relational harmony is “we-centered” and prioritizes the marriage relationship itself. Not all couples fall neatly in either category; couples in transition experience a push-and-pull process between the multiple influences in their lives. These tensions are explored through six dimensions: (a) conflict between relational and structural goals, (b) communal versus dyadic obligation, (c) unclear authority structure, (d) intersection of family and workplace, (e) harmonizing multiple voices, and (f) incorporating personal agency. Implications for research and practice are addressed.

In natura sugarcane juice or garapa is one of the derivatives of sugarcane and is a tasty and energetic drink. The addition of acid fruits to the sugarcane juice is quite common, giving the product a refreshing flavor and softening its sweetness. The present study aimed to evaluate the sensorial quality of beverages elaborated by mixing sugarcane juice and fruits pulp, among high school students at IFNMG – campus Salinas. The samples were prepared for the flavors of passion fruit, tamarind, and caja, adding pulp in the proportions of 5, 7.5 and 10 mL per 100 mL of sugarcane juice, and a preference-ranking test was applied to 30 untrained panelists. Based on the result of this test, samples of the beverage with the preferred pulp concentration for each flavor were prepared. The acceptance test was applied to 88 panelists in the same study group. For the preference-ranking test, this analysis showed that there was no significant difference (p ≥ 0.05) between the samples in any of the three flavors and concentrations evaluated. However, the highest absolute values were obtained by the samples of passion fruit and tamarind at 5% of pulp and caja at 7.5% of pulp. Regarding the acceptance test, there was no significant difference (p ≥ 0.05) between samples. In the evaluation of the overall impression, the scores were between “like moderately” and “like extremely”, which shows a great acceptance for these products. Also, the most accepted flavor was caja at 7.5%. The purchase intention was evaluated as “probably buy” and “certainly buy” and the highest purchase intention was also for the sample of caja at 7.5%. Therefore, this study contributes to a greater appreciation of the fruits from the semi-arid and to adding value to the sugarcane juice.

Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) such as the processing of pancakes "Apen Julit Gettas" in Sumenep Regency need to be studied in terms of implementing clean production, because the waste produced is quite large. There are 4 alternative businesses that can be applied for clean production, that are producing animal feed, nata de coco, briquettes, and organic fertilizers. The purpose of this study was to determine the best alternative that would be used for the application of clean production in SME "Apen Julit Gettas" and analyze the added value of the best alternative. The method used to determine the best alternative was the Comparative Performance Index (CPI) and the best alternative value-added analysis using the Hayami method. The best alternative to implementing clean production was processing coconut pulp into animal feed with a value of 285.55. After analyzing added value for coconut pulp industry, the net added value received by the company was Rp. 4,078.64.00/kg with a profit percentage of 53.17%.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In the course of the odontogenesis of bovine incisors several clearly distinguishable phosphohydrolase activities are observed in the pulp and in dental hard tissues. Using various substrates and inhibitors, unspecific alkaline phosphatase, two isoenzymes of acid phosphatase, Ca2+-activated ATPase and inorganic pyrophosphatase are characterized. The enzymatic activity of alkaline phosphatase in pulp and hard tissues is significantly high at the beginning of dentine and enamel mineralization. The specific activity of this enzyme decreases quite fast with the beginning of root formation, then more slowly, until it reaches a constant final value. Histochemical studies show that during mineralization the maximum of alkaline phosphatase activity is in the subodontoblasts. Lower enzyme concentrations are found in the stratum intermedium and in the outer enamel epithelium during that process. The specific activities of ATPase, acid phosphatases and pyrophosphatase show little temporal variation during tooth development, but they also appear in a characteristic spatial pattern in the dental tissues.

"Combined Mining and Pulp-Lifting of Ferromanganese Nodules and Rare-Earth Element-Rich Mud around Minamitorishima Island in the Western North Pacific: A Prefeasibility Study."

Full textAbstract:
An examination of the technical and economic feasibility of the combined mining of the rare-earth element-rich mud (REE-rich mud) and ferromanganese nodules (FN) around Minamitorishima (Marcus) Island in Northwest Pacific is introduced. A previous study showed that the mining of REE-rich mud around Minamitorishima Island was not economically feasible. Therefore, in this study, three changes from the previous mining model to improve its economy are proposed. The first one is combined mining with FN in the area. The second one is introducing a pulp-lifting system that can lift both REE-rich mud and FN at high concentrations through a riser pipe. The third one is the reuse of waste mud and processed slag for construction materials. The economic evaluation results show a change from a slightly negative to quite positive economy depending on the mixing ratio of REE-rich mud and FN in the pulp-lifting. In addition, some technical approaches necessary to realize the combined mining method are introduced.

ABSTRACTBecause events occur too fast and ideas mature too slowly for responses to be designed anew for each pressing problem, policy innovation often relies on pre-existing models, foreign or domestic. This seems to be especially true for regulatory policymaking, since public regulation is typically introduced in conditions of crisis. In this paper we examine several cases of policy innovation in the area of economic and social regulation where the influence of foreign models is quite clear: the development of competition policy in Europe in the 1950s, the growth of European Community regulation, and the impact of the American deregulation movement on the telecommunications policies of different European countries. The analysis shows that while utilization of preexisting models is a common feature of policy innovation, such models are not literally translated into current policy. More or less extensive adaptations to a particular political, institutional and economic context are usually required. We also identify two distinct ways – push or pull – in which foreign models can affect domestic policy.
