THE SURVIVAL OF TRANSPLANTED CORAL ON PYRAMID-SHAPED FISH SHELTER ON THE COASTAL WATERS OF KELAPA AND HARAPAN ISLANDS, KEPULAUAN SERIBU, JAKARTA

Research was carried out in August 2008 at two sites within Marine Protected Areas (MPA) in Kelapa and Harapan Islands of Seribu Islands, Indonesia. The purpose of this research was to compare the mortality rate of coral transplanted on the upper and base of pyramid-shaped concrete fish shelters. Fish shelters were placed on the seabed of Kelapa Island which is characterized by sandy seabed and Harapan Island which is characterized by silt. Both sites are within Marine Protected Areas. The survey recorded mortality rate of transplanted coral and percentage of live coral coverage. The research also sampled fish populations within the MPA sites and pyramid areas so that the two sites can be compared for their fish biodiversity. The data were analyzed by using T-Test Student of SPSS 11.5 computer program to compare between two locations, and upper and base of transplanted position. After one year, the average mortality rate among transplanted coral species in Kelapa Island was 34%. However, the mortality rate of transplanted coral in Harapan Island was slightly higher than in Kelapa Island: 42%. The transplanted coral at the top of the fish shelter had higher survival rate (39%) compared to the base of the fish shelter (24%). Fish populations in Kelapa Island consisted of 1,119 individuals from 35 species. This was much higher than in Harapan Island where the research found only 655 individuals from 27 species. Fish populations found around the fish shelter area in Kelapa Island consisted of 125 individuals from 25 species. This was lower than the fish population in Harapan Island, where 206 individuals from 23 species were recorded.
Conflict, Ideology and Foreign Aid

In this paper, we present a rent-seeking model of conflict, which highlights the role of ideology in determining whether the government or the rebels take the initiative. We use the model to interpret the impact of a large-scale Community-Driven Development project on civil conflict in the Philippines. The country is characterized by the presence of two rebel groups, the New People's Army (NPA) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), with two distinct ideologies. We use a unique geo-referenced panel dataset on the occurrence of conflicts in 2003 and 2006 gathered from local newspapers that we match with nationally representative household survey and budget data on all municipalities in the country. Consistent with our model's predictions, using a variety of estimation strategies, we find robust evidence that the project leads to a decline in MILF-related events and to an increase in NPA-related events.
A single session of aerobic exercise influences paraoxonase 1 activity and concentration Una sola sesión de ejercicio aeróbico influye en la actividad y concentración de la paraoxonasa 1

Our purpose was to examine changes in paraoxonase 1 (PON1) concentration and activity following a single aerobic exercise session. Sixteen men (32 ± 8 yrs.; BMI = 29.4 ± 6.8 kg/m 2 ; % fat = 29 ± 13; VO 2max = 38.3 ± 11.9 ml . min -1. kg -1 ; waist circumference = 93.7 ± 16.0 cm; HDL-C = 1.19 ± 0.21 and triglycerides = 1.22 ± 1.04 mmol'™l -1 ; direct LDL = 2.69 ± 0.73 mmol'™l -1 ) expended 400 kcals by treadmill walking at 65% of VO2max. Fasting blood samples were collected before (PRE), immediately post-exercise (IPE), 24 hours post-exercise, and 48 hours post-exercise. PON1 concentration, PON1 activity, lipids, apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A1), apolipoprotein B (Apo B), and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) were analyzed for each time point. The men were divided into two groups based on their body mass index (BMI): Normal weight (NW) and Obese Group. At baseline, PON1 concentration and activity were significantly higher in the NW group as compared to the obese group. In addition, PON1 activity was significantly higher in the NW group as compared to the obese group for all time points. Furthermore, PON1 concentration and activity were significantly increased in the combined group immediately post-exercise and returned to baseline levels within 24 hours. PON1 activity was min -1. kg -1 ; circunferencia de cintura = 93.7 ± 16.0 cm; HDL-C = 1.19 ± 0.21 y trigliceridos = 1.22 ± 1.04 mmol'™l
Using Information Technology to Prepare Personnel to Implement Functional Behavioral Assessment and Positive Behavioral Support

Reauthorization of the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (1997) produced new language concerned with placement and instruction of students who present challenging behaviors and for whom there is risk of disability determination. The result is an immediate need for preservice personnel preparation as well as staff and professional development practices and procedures concerned with functional behavioral assessment and positive behavioral support (PBS). Recent advances in information technologies are creating new opportunities for advancing this training agenda. This article examines some of the impediments to effective dissemination of training in PBS such as philosophical barriers, school discipline policies, and the inadequacy of present professional and staff training models. It suggests ways that new information technologies can overcome these obstacles and reviews some new approaches using CD-ROM and online instructional methodologies to advance the training agenda.
THE MANUFACTURE AND EVALUATION OF A LARGE TURBINE

The new generation of large high thrust aero-engines, such as the Rolls-Royce Trent, lead to ever increasing demands on materials. In particular as the requirements on turbine discs become more stringent traditional alloys such as IN718 and Waspaloy become less viable choices. To meet the more demanding requirements highly alloyed, high strength materials will be required. One such alloy is alloy 72OLi, which is available in the powder or conventionally processed cast and wrought form. Recent developments in the manufacture of qood oualitv Cast and Wrought billet at reiatively large diameters (23Omm and 25Omm) has led to it being a cost effective choice for meeting turbine disc requirements.

Searching on a Model for Sustainable Agricultural Higher Education Center (SAHEC)

This research has used a mixed methodology with both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The study population included three groups; the post-graduate students, professors and academic staff at two universities, Khouzestan Ramin Agriculture and Natural Resources University and Bu-Ali Sina University. For collecting quantitative data among 320 students, 175 were selected using random sampling and based on the Morgan table. In order to collect qualitative data, 41 professors and academic staff of the two universities were selected based on a criterion purposeful sampling. Gathering tool in quantitative part was a questionnaire including three-parts. The questionnaire's reliability was tested by Cronbach's Alpha technique and the total mean reliability of scales was 84% (α=0.84). For collecting qualitative data, semi-structured interviews were used. A summarized content analysis was used in order to analyze the interviews' data. Quantitative data analysis was conducted in two parts: descriptive and analytical. Results showed that a sustainable agricultural higher education needs a series of factors, characteristics and conditions. These factors at economic, social, cultural, and environmental dimensions include: financial and credit, employment and entrepreneurship, the agricultural productivity, social issues, building culture, and environmental awareness. Results also indicated that a sustainable university should address four elements of education, research, management and planning, and outreach programs in a pool of two-way communication between these elements and the real needs of society and environment.
FACADE RENOVATION FOR A PUBLIC BUILDING BASED ON A WHOLE-LIFE VALUE APPROACH

Facade design is a complex design and optimisation process. One of the difficulties is to understand how an existing building performs in the real world, which is essential to ensure the reliability of the building performance simulation used during facade design process. Another challenge is to devise a facade design option that represents the optimal trade-offs among different design objectives. This paper presents the use of a recently developed whole-life value based facade design and optimisation tool on a real-world facade renovation project. It illustrates the process of identifying the optimised facade. The principal outcome of the paper is a series of optimal facade solutions that improve the social, environmental and economic value of the building at a reasonable capital economic cost. The building performance simulation is validated by insitu measurements. The whole-life value based design approach produces optimal trade-offs between different design objectives and improves the quality of early stage design decisions.
Investment Warning: Farming May Endanger Your Financial Health

The bioeconomy has been promoted in recent years. It is viewed as a large sector of the economy that relies on biological processes to produce various end products, including food, fuel, chemicals, etc. The recent interest in the bioeconomy stems first from concerns about climate change and the need to move away from nonrenewable resources. It also stems from the new capability developed in recent years through modern techniques in molecular biology. While the bioeconomy seems to be a modern concept, this paper argues that it has been with us for millennia and was part of our oldest industries. We use beer as a case study, beginning with its origin in the traditional bioeconomy and drawing out what lessons it holds for the new bioeconomy. The first section elaborates on the bioeconomy, the second tells the story of beer, and the third provides some of its implications. This history of beer suggests that technological development will lead to the expansion of the bioeconomy, which will lead to new types of farming and new differentiated products. The development of the bioeconomy will also be dependent on the ability to capture new opportunities and introduce reasonable regulations that balance concern over safety, with opportunities for creativity and innovation.
Designing occupancy studies: general advice and allocating survey effort

Summary 1 The fraction of sampling units in a landscape where a target species is present (occupancy) is an extensively used concept in ecology. Yet in many applications the species will not always be detected in a sampling unit even when present, resulting in biased estimates of occupancy. Given that sampling units are surveyed repeatedly within a relatively short timeframe, a number of similar methods have now been developed to provide unbiased occupancy estimates. However, practical guidance on the efficient design of occupancy studies has been lacking. 2 In this paper we comment on a number of general issues related to designing occupancy studies, including the need for clear objectives that are explicitly linked to science or management, selection of sampling units, timing of repeat surveys and allocation of survey effort. Advice on the number of repeat surveys per sampling unit is considered in terms of the variance of the occupancy estimator, for three possible study designs. 3 We recommend that sampling units should be surveyed a minimum of three times when detection probability is high (> 0·5 survey−1), unless a removal design is used. 4 We found that an optimal removal design will generally be the most efficient, but we suggest it may be less robust to assumption violations than a standard design. 5 Our results suggest that for a rare species it is more efficient to survey more sampling units less intensively, while for a common species fewer sampling units should be surveyed more intensively. 6 Synthesis and applications. Reliable inferences can only result from quality data. To make the best use of logistical resources, study objectives must be clearly defined; sampling units must be selected, and repeated surveys timed appropriately; and a sufficient number of repeated surveys must be conducted. Failure to do so may compromise the integrity of the study. The guidance given here on study design issues is particularly applicable to studies of species occurrence and distribution, habitat selection and modelling, metapopulation studies and monitoring programmes.
Sharing Economy : Why the Turkish consumers use Airbnb?

In recent years, the sharing economy has stimulated the development of entities that have contributed significantly to sustainability through the impact of technological, demographic, and cultural changes observed in society. This research aims to determine the motivation of participation of the Turkish consumers contributing to the sharing economy by using the self-determination theory. For this purpose, a questionnaire was conducted with 160 participants contributing to the sharing economy through the use of Airbnb, which is the most commonly used among sharing economies around the world. Examining the results of the research, it is noted that among the three motivational factors (economic benefit, enjoyment, sustainability) which have a positive effect on attitude, only the level of perceived enjoyment has the highest effect on the attitude and also an effect on the behavior intention.
A probabilistic assessment of calcium carbonate export and dissolution in the modern ocean

Abstract. The marine cycle of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is an important element of the carbon cycle and co-governs the distribution of carbon and alkalinity within the ocean. However, CaCO3 export fluxes and mechanisms governing CaCO3 dissolution are highly uncertain. We present an observationally constrained, probabilistic assessment of the global and regional CaCO3 budgets. Parameters governing pelagic CaCO3 export fluxes and dissolution rates are sampled using a Monte Carlo scheme to construct a 1000-member ensemble with the Bern3D ocean model. Ensemble results are constrained by comparing simulated and observation-based fields of excess dissolved calcium carbonate (TA*). The minerals calcite and aragonite are modelled explicitly and ocean–sediment fluxes are considered. For local dissolution rates, either a strong or a weak dependency on CaCO3 saturation is assumed. In addition, there is the option to have saturation-independent dissolution above the saturation horizon. The median (and 68 % confidence interval) of the constrained model ensemble for global biogenic CaCO3 export is 0.90 (0.72–1.05) Gt C yr−1, that is within the lower half of previously published estimates (0.4–1.8 Gt C yr−1). The spatial pattern of CaCO3 export is broadly consistent with earlier assessments. Export is large in the Southern Ocean, the tropical Indo–Pacific, the northern Pacific and relatively small in the Atlantic. The constrained results are robust across a range of diapycnal mixing coefficients and, thus, ocean circulation strengths. Modelled ocean circulation and transport timescales for the different set-ups were further evaluated with CFC11 and radiocarbon observations. Parameters and mechanisms governing dissolution are hardly constrained by either the TA* data or the current compilation of CaCO3 flux measurements such that model realisations with and without saturation-dependent dissolution achieve skill. We suggest applying saturation-independent dissolution rates in Earth system models to minimise computational costs.
A Mathematic Model for Supply-Demand Equilibrium and the Optimal Solution for Labor Assignment

Supply function and Production Possibility Frontier (PPF) are basic concepts in Economics. We present a model that can give mathematic formula for PPF and the supply as a function of the price vector and capability parameters. With this Supply function, the generic Supply-Demand equilibrium problems can be solved numerically. We apply the supply-demand equilibrium to give optimal solutions for team work management problems or labor assignment problems. Concrete examples are given for managing an engineer team in Boeing Corporation.
Forecasting Exchange Rate Density Using Parametric Models: the Case of Brazil

This paper employs a recently developed parametric technique to obtain density forecasts for the Brazilian exchange rate, using the exchange rate options market. Empirical results suggest that the option market contains useful information about future exchange rate density. These results suggests that density forecasts using options markets may add value for portfolio and risk management, and may be useful for financial regulators to assess financial stability.
Numerical Simulation Study on the Effect of CO2 Laser on the Plasma Behavior

The present work, the plasma is simulated using particle model under the action of CO2 laser by using power density 10W per centemete.The behavior of the plasma is studied in three electron density regions below the critical density. The time history of the total energy, kinetic energy, and the drift energy are studied at 0.9ncr, 0.95ncr, and 0.99ncr. The results indicated that the total energy of the system slightly increases at the first time steps after that time a rapid increase in the energy are observed. The time evolution of the kinetic energy is studied, the results show that the plasma heating increases rapidly due to the acceleration of the plasma particles by the laser light. In this work the time history of the drift energy is plotted at each time step of the run.
Modelling mechanical properties of the multilayer composite materials with the polyamide core

Due the wide range of application for belt conveyors, engineers look for many different combinations of mechanical properties of conveyor and transmission belts. It can be made by creating multilayer or fiber reinforced composite materials from base thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers. In order to gain high strength with proper elasticity and friction coefficient, core of the composite conveyor belt is made of polyamide film core, which can be combined with various types of polymer fabrics, films or even rubbers. In this paper authors show the complex model of multilayer composite belt with polyamide core, which can be used in simulation analyses. Following model was derived based on the experimental research, which consisted of tensile, compression and shearing tests. In order to achieve the most accurate model, proper simulations in ABAQUS were made and then the results were compared with empirical mechanical characteristics of a conveyor belt. The main goal of this research is to fully describe perforation process of conveyor and transmission belts for vacuum belt conveyors. Following model will help to develop design briefs for machines, which are used for mechanical perforation.
Sparse preconditioners for dense complex linear systems arising in some radar cross section computations

We present a sparse preconditioner for efficient iterative solution of large dense linear systems that arise in radar cross section computations for a perfectly conducting scatterer using a high-order surface integral equation algorithm. The algorithm allows the linear systems to be assembled efficiently but overall efficiency of the method can only be achieved using iterative solvers with an appropriate preconditioner. We demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our preconditioner for electromagnetic scattering linear systems with tens of thousands of unknowns arising in radar cross section computations for small to medium electromagnetic-sized scatterers.
OPERATIONAL FOREST MONITORING IN SIBERIA USING MULTI-SOURCE EARTH OBSERVATION DATA

Forest cover disturbance rates are increasing in the forests of Siberia due to intensification of human activities and climate change. In this paper two satellite data sources were used for automated forest cover change detection. Annual ALOS PALSAR backscatter mosaics (2007–2010) were used for yearly forest loss monitoring. Time series of the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI, 2000–2014) from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) were integrated in a web-based data middleware system to assess the capabilities of a near-real time detection of forest disturbances using the break point detection by additive season and trends (Bfast) method. The SAR-based average accuracy of the forest loss detection was 70 %, whereas the MODIS-based change assessment using breakpoint detection achieved average accuracies of 50 % for trend-based breakpoints and 43.4 % for season-based breakpoints. It was demonstrated that SAR remote sensing is a highly accurate tool for up-to-date forest monitoring. Web-based data middleware systems like the Earth Observation Monitor, linked with MODIS time series, provide access and easy-to-use tools for on demand change monitoring in remote Siberian forests.
Board Roles in Small and Medium-Sized Family Businesses: Performance and Importance

The board of directors is regarded as one of the most imperative governance mechanisms in small and medium-sized family firms. Empirical studies examining both the roles these boards fulfil in a family business context, as well as evaluating the CEO's perceived importance of these roles, are scarce. Founded by a range of conceptual and multi-theoretical board role definitions, this paper contributes to the literature by empirically determining board roles. Furthermore, the importance of these board roles and differences between the board's performance and perceived importance are assessed. The results show it is indispensable to differentiate between two aggregated roles that boards in small and medium-sized family firms perform: control and service. The control role is predominantly based on agency theory, whereas the service role includes multiple theoretical perspectives. The CEOs of the family firms perceive the service role of the board as most important. However, in order to direct succession and to compensate for the owner/manager's altruistic behaviour, the board's control role should not be neglected. The acknowledgement of these two aggregated board roles and their importance may enhance future research on board roles within specific contexts.

Theory of Short-Channel Surrounding-Gate Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor Field-Effect-Transistors

A model for a metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect-transistor (MOSFET) with a surrounding gate (SG) is developed. Analytical solutions to the model are obtained by solving Poisson's equation using series expansion. Taking short-channel effects into account, the analytical expressions for electric potential, electric field, and threshold voltage are obtained. It is found that the transistor is fully depleted for a small radius, and the threshold voltage increases as the radius increases or as the oxide capacitance per unit area decreases.
