Efficacy of sulfonylurea herbicides for broad-spectrum weed control in wet direct-sown summer rice

The efficacy of some potent herbicides of sulfonylurea group in conjunction with other traditional recommended herbicides was studied in wet direct- sown summer rice (Oryza sativa) during the dry season of 2005 and 2006 at Cuttack, Orissa. The major weed flora found during the crop growing season were Echinochloa colona (9.6%), Cyperus difformis (21.9%), Fimbristylis miliacea (19.2%), Sphenochlea zeylanica (23.3%), and Ludwigia parviflora (26.0%) at 30 days after sowing (DAS). Bensulfuron methyl (60 g ha−1) applied at 20 DAS was found to be the most effective herbicide in controlling weeds (weed control efficiency 95.2%) and maximizing rice grain yield (5.82 t ha−1). This was at par with hand weeding twice at 20 and 40 DAS in terms of weed control efficiency and grain yield. Other herbicides of sulfonylurea group viz., pyrazosulfuron ethyl (25 g ha−1) applied at 10 DAS, triasulfuran (9 g ha−1) applied at 7 DAS and Almix (metsulfuron methyl + chlorimuron ethyl) + 0.2% surfactant (4 g ha−1) applied at 20 DAS also showed good suppression of weeds with weed control efficiency (WCE) 93.4, 91.7 and 88.6%, respectively. Among the traditional recommended herbicides, pretilachlor + safener (750 g ha−1) performed relatively better with WCE 85.0%. There was more than 46% reduction in the grain yield of rice due to competition with weeds in weedy plots

A Review of Personal Data Protection Law in Indonesia

The importance of protecting personal data issue starts strengthened along with the increasing number of telephone user mobile and internet in Indonesia. Several cases were sticking out, especially those that have a connection with the leak of personal data and leads to fraud or crime, strengthen the discourse on the importance of making legal rules to protect personal data. In Indonesia, the protection of personal data is related to the concept of privacy, which is the idea of safeguarding the integrity and personal dignity. Privacy rights are also an individual ability to determine who is holding their information and how the information is used. Currently, Indonesia’s long-awaited comprehensive draft Law on the Protection of Personal Data has been submitted by President Joko Widodo to the Chairperson of the Indonesian House of Representatives on January 24th, 2020. When passed, it will be the first framework legislation on personal data protection in Indonesia. This paper discusses and summarizes the progress of personal data protection based on the law and the regulatory authority in Indonesia. The result shows that there is a lack of explanation of the term data protection authority (DPA) in the final Bill submitted.

Will Using a Constructivist Approach Improve Laboratory Work for Phase 6 Electrical Apprentices

This study used action research to implement a constructivist approach in the delivery of the electronics and measurements laboratory classes for a phase six group of electrical apprentices in the Electrical Services Engineering Department of the Dublin Institute of Technology. The aim of the study was to investigate if the constructivist approach adopted, with a research group, could improve the effectiveness of the two labs. The research group consisted of sixteen, phase six, male electrical apprentices for both the electronics and measurements labs. The students ranged in ages between eighteen and twenty five years of age and were a randomly selected cohort. The research was carried out over a standard ten week block release course as part of the Standards Based Apprenticeship scheme. A literature review was carried out covering three main areas of interest; practical work in laboratories; constructivism; and action research. These three areas were used to inform the research process and to identify a suitable methodology and methods of data collection. These methods consisted of a questionnaire to all phase six groups in the department at the time of the study, the control group; a recorded focus group; lab feedback sheets; recorded individual interviews; a reflective research journal; and examination results. Two cycles of action research were carried out. The first cycle of action research was five weeks in duration and used an investigation type approach to solving problems on topics relevant to the labs. Following discussions with the group in week five, a different approach was agreed for cycle two. This second cycle was four weeks in duration and followed a format of carrying out standard exercises in the lab but were immediately followed by in-depth group discussions on the outcomes of the exercises and the data collected. The findings show that the students found the investigation type approach difficult to engage with as it required a level of self-directed learning not normally used on the course. The in-depth discussions of cycle two were more effective in linking the theory and practical aspects of the lab work. The conclusions are that a student centred constructivist approach for the labs can be effective provided it does not remove all the formal structures and students are allowed time to adapt to the new format. It is recommended that this type of approach be introduced into phase four so that students have a longer exposure to the approach used and can develop the necessary cognitive skills required.
What Supports Startups Need From Science and Technology Parks

This study establishes strategies for the science and technology park (STP) operators to develop the support their hosted companies/startups (HCs) need to improve their performance at different stages of maturity. Unlike most of the research concentrated on the STP's viewpoints or used the after-the-fact results to create the policy guidelines for the operators, our paper uses the opposite approach by directly asking the HCs regarding what they need. From our survey results, we have identified two different strategies for improving HCs' performance. A comprehensive internal incubation network is necessary for any startup in a relatively mature development stage but with short settled years. On the other hand, a robust external incubation network is crucial for small-size startups in a low level of development stage but with long-settled years at STPs. We hope that the methodology underpinned in this study could open a new window for future research to better aid HCs in an STP.
Tenth ORNL Personnel Dosimetry Intercomparison Study

The Tenth Personnel Dosimetry Intercomparison Study was conducted at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory during April 9-11, 1984. Dosemeter badges from 31 participating organizations were mounted on 40cm Lucite phantoms and exposed to a range of dose equivalents which could be encountered during routine personnel monitoring in mixed radiation fields. The Health Physics Research Reactor served as the only source of radiation for eight of the ten irradiations which included a low (approx. 0.50 mSv) and high (approx. 10.00 mSv) neutron dose equivalent run for each of four shield conditions. Two irradiations were also conducted for which concrete- and Lucite-shield reactor irradiations were gamma-enhanced using a /sup 137/Cs source. Results indicated that some participants had difficulty obtaining measurable indication of neutron and gamma exposures at dose equivalents less than about 0.50 mSv and 0.20 mSv, respectively. Albedo dosemeters provided the best overall accuracy and precision for the neutron measurements. Direct interaction TLD systems showed significant variation in accuracy with incident spectrum, and threshold neutron dosemeters (film and recoil track) underestimated reference values by more than 50%. Gamma dose equivalents estimated in the mixed fields were higher than reference values with TL gamma dosemeters generally yielding more accurate results than film.more » Under the conditions of this study in which participants had information concerning exposure conditions and radiation field characteristics prior to dosemeter evaluation, only slightly more than half of all reported results met regulatory standards for neutron and gamma accuracy. 19 refs., 2 figs., 29 tabs. « less
CONSUMABILITY ANALYSIS OF BATCH PROCESSING SYSTEMS

The use of large scale processing systems has exploded during the last decade and now they are indicated for significantly contributing to the world energy consumption and, in turn, environmental pollution. Processing systems are no more evaluated only for their performance, but also for how much they consume to perform at a certain level. Those evaluations aim at quantifying the energy efficiency conceived as the relation between a performance metric and a power consumption metric, disregarding the malfunction that commonly happens. The study of a real 500-nodes batch system shows that 9% of its power consumption is ascribable to failures compromising the execution of the jobs. Also fault tolerance techniques, commonly adopted for reducing the frequency of failure occurrences, have a cost in terms of energy consumption. This dissertation introduces the concept of consumability for processing systems, encompassing performance, consumption and dependability aspects. The idea is to have a unified measure of these three main aspects. The consumability analysis is also described. It is performed by means of a hierarchical stochastic model that considers the three aspects simultaneously in the process of evaluating the system efficiency and effectiveness. The analysis represents a solution to system owners and administrators that need to evaluate cost-benefit trade-off during the design, development, testing and operational phases. The analysis is illustrated for two case studies based on a real batch processing system. The studies provides a set of guidelines for the consumability analysis of other systems and empirically confirm the importance of contemplating dependability jointly with performance and consumption for making processing systems really energy efficient.
Idiographic Ising and Divide and Color Models: Encompassing Networks for Heterogeneous Binary Data

Abstract The Ising model is a graphical model that has played an essential role in network psychometrics. It has been used as a theoretical model to conceptualize psychological concepts and as a statistical model to analyze psychological data. Using graphical models such as the Ising model to analyze psychological data has been heavily critiqued since these data often come from cross-sectional applications. An often voiced concern is the inability of the Ising model to express heterogeneity in the population. The idiographic approach has been posed as an alternative and aims to infer individual network structures. While idiographic networks overcome population heterogeneity, it is unclear how they aggregate into established cross-sectional phenomena. This paper establishes a formal bridge between idiographic and cross-sectional network approaches of the Ising model. We ascertain unique topological structures that characterize individuals and aggregate into an Ising model cross-sectionally. This new formulation supports population heterogeneity while being consistent with cross-sectional phenomena. The proposed theory also establishes a new statistical framework for analyzing populations of idiographic networks for binary variables. The Ising model and the divide and color model are special cases of this new framework. We introduce a Gibbs sampling algorithm to estimate models from this new framework.
New Media and Public Relations

The ways we communicate have fundamentally changed in the last decade. Advances in digital technology have engendered a shift in communication patterns characterised by the shift from the ‘one to many’ broadcast paradigm of mass media to the ‘network paradigm’ of ‘many to many’ communication. Much writing about new media and public relations celebrates the interactivity or conversational nature of new media, which is considered to have the potential to develop relationships and build communities (see, for example, Levine et al. 1999; Holtz 2002). This shift has major implications for traditional public relations practices and concepts. Not surprisingly, new media is cited by practitioners and scholars as one of the biggest challenges facing the public relations profession (Dougall et al. 2001; Weaver et al. 2003; Zefass et aI. 2007). As Katie Delahaye Paine writes: ‘The implications for twenty-first century practitioners are all at once far reaching, terrifying and enormously exciting’ (Paine 2007: xiv). Public relations is concerned with either the management of relationships between publics and organisations or the management of communication between publics and organisations. The advent of the internet causes us to rethink the nature of these relationships and communication. Some academics and practitioners (Gregory 2004; Duhe 2007) are beginning to recognise the potentially transformative impact of technology on public relations and its important contribution to the ability of organisations to be socially responsive.
Two-step quantization in multibit /spl Delta//spl Sigma/ modulators

An architecture to simplify the circuit implementation of the internal analog-to-digital (A/D) converter in a /spl Delta//spl Sigma/ modulator is proposed. The architecture is based on dividing the A/D conversion into two time steps, which makes the internal quantization feasible with much higher resolution than with conventional solutions. Furthermore, the time steps are interleaved so that the resolution improvement is achieved without sacrificing the speed. It is shown, with a linearized model, that the order of the noise shaping is increased by one with respect to the coarse quantization error made during the first step. For a high oversampling ratio, the coarse quantization error made in the first step is easily suppressed to an insignificant level due to the one order higher noise shaping. Depending on the partitioning of the bits between the conversion steps, the coarse error will dominate below a certain oversampling ratio. However, it is shown that the technique can be extended to more than one order higher noise shaping, making it useful for low oversampling ratios as well.

Dynamic simulation and experimental study of inspection robot for high-voltage transmission-line

A mobile robot developed by Wuhan University for full-path hotline inspection on 220 kV transmission lines was presented. With 4 rotating joints and 2 translational ones, such robot is capable of traveling along non-obstacle straight-line segment and surmounting straight-line segment obstacles as well as transferring between two spans automatically. Lagrange's equations were utilized to derive dynamic equations of all the links, including items of inertia, coupling inertia, Coriolis acceleration, centripetal acceleration and gravity. And a dynamic response experiment on elemental motions of robot prototype's travelling along non-obstacle straight-line segment and surmounting obstacles was performed on 220 kV 1∶1 simulative overhanging transmission-line in laboratory. In addition, dynamic numerical simulation was conducted in the corresponding condition. Comparison and analysis on results of experiment and numerical simulation have validated theoretical model and simulation resolution. Therefore, the dynamic model formed hereunder can be used for the study of robot control.
Silicon detectors for particle tracking at future high-energy physics experiments

Silicon tracking detectors are a central component of all present and planned high-energy physics experiments. For example, all experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are equipped with silicon pixel and strip detectors. In future colliders, silicon detectors are planned to be used as tracking devices also at the ten times higher luminosity upgrade of the LHC (the so-called SuperLHC or SLHC), and at the foreseen International Linear Collider (ILC). The related R&D challenges come on one side from the harsh radiation environment close to the interaction point, on the other side from the need for a fast and precise vertex detector of unprecedented performance with minimum material. In both cases, the common trend is the use of thin detectors: a thinner detector needs a lower operating voltage and has less dark current, hence being intrinsically more radiation tolerant; in high-multiplicity environments, where an excellent two track separation is essential, a thinner detector is also superior. This thesis presents several contributions to the R&D program on silicon detectors for future particle tracking applications. Radiation hardness studies on different silicon materials have been performed after irradiation with highly energetic electrons, which are effective in creating bulk damage in silicon and thus deteriorate the detector performance. Charge collection in irradiated silicon pixel detectors has also been simulated, in order to estimate the signals after the expected radiation levels at the SLHC, as a function of the geometrical design of the detector. Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) have been proposed in recent years as a candidate technology for the vertex detector at the ILC. In this technology, sensor and readout electronics are on the same substrate, which is achievable with modern CMOS technology. It has been shown that they have an excellent performance for charged particle tracking; moreover, they can eventually be thinned down to a thickness of a few tens of μm. In this work, an experimental setup has been built for the test of a large size prototype, featuring 1 million pixels distributed on an area of 3.5 cm2. Tests have been performed both with a radioactive source, for the calibration of the detector charge-to-voltage conversion gain, and with electron beams in order to study the detector tracking capabilities. The results from experimental tests are also compared with simulations performed with advanced simulation packages.

Decreased thermal conductivity in Bi_2Sr_2Co_2O_x bulk materials prepared by partial melting

Bi_2Sr_2Co_2O_ x (BSC-222) bulk materials have been prepared in air by single hot pressing or partial melting followed by hot pressing. Thermal transport properties of as-prepared samples were compared with BSC-222 samples prepared by single partial melting. Samples prepared through hot pressing have a high bulk density and improved preferential grain orientation. Bulk density and preferential grain orientation are significantly better in samples processed by partial melting followed by hot pressing. In samples prepared by partial melting, the presence of sub-micrometer-sized secondary phases Bi_0. 75Sr_0. 25O_ x , Sr-based oxide, and CoO, is observed. The lattice contribution to the total thermal conductivity decreases significantly in partially melted BSC-222 samples. By using a classical phonon transport model, this result demonstrates that the decrease in lattice thermal conductivity in partially melted BSC-222 samples may be linked not only to porosity but also to the presence of defects, induced by partial melting process, which may play an important role in phonon scattering.
