Facts About Magnesium
Authors: Bobroff Linda B. , Hillan Jennifer
Published: September 2020

Many Americans don’t get enough magnesium in their diets. But most healthy people do not have signs of deficiency even if their intake is low because the body stores this mineral. However, people who abuse alcohol, take certain diuretic drugs, or have kidney disease may be at risk for magnesium deficiency. Long-lasting diarrhea or vomiting also can cause a deficiency. Older adults often do not get enough magnesium in their diets. This 2-page fact sheet was written by Linda B.

Retirement Need Analysis: How Much of My Current Income Will I Need for Retirement?
Authors: Ruiz-Menjivar Jorge , Gillen Martie
Published: September 2020

The amount of money needed for retirement varies from person to person. There may not be an exact amount, but there are ways to estimate the amount you will need. While no “magic number” exists for the amount you should save for retirement, there are calculations you can use to estimate the amount you will need. Calculating your wage replacement ratio (WRR) using either the top-down or bottom-up approach can help you determine how much money you should put aside for retirement and provide you with savings goals.

How to Hire and Manage Residential Contractors
Authors: Cantrell Randall A.
Published: September 2020

If you are looking for a contractor for either home building or remodeling, ask difficult questions before you enter into a contract. This way you and the contractor have a clear understanding of the other’s expectations. Before signing a contract and beginning a project is the best time to thank contractors for their consideration and time, rather than risk entering into an unfortunate working relationship that could require legal intervention. Contractors understand potential clients, and they will inform you if they do not want to accept a contract with you. This negotiation period should not be taken personally by either party and should only develop into a business relationship that exists during the period of hire and warranty outlined in the contract.

Factors Affecting Herbicide Use in Fruits and Vegetables
Authors: Rouse C. E. , Dittmar Peter J.
Published: September 2020

Proper herbicide application is critical for fruit and vegetable growers to effectively manage weeds. Improper herbicide application may lead to herbicide loss from the targeted area, increased crop injury, and reduced weed control. Growers need to take into account a number of factors before and during application in any crop to ensure the herbicide is effective. Herbicide efficacy is greatly affected by timing and environmental conditions. Although complete weed control is not always possible, even slight reductions in weed populations can greatly enhance productivity in fruit and vegetable crops. This 4-page fact sheet reviews techniques and processes to help growers properly apply herbicides. Understanding the processes and applying the following techniques will help to increase the overall efficacy of herbicides in fruit and vegetable production. Written by C. E. Rouse and P. J.

Forced-Use Dust Bags for Management of External Parasites
Authors: Kaufman Phillip E. , Weeks Emma N. I.
Published: September 2020

Dust bags are an effective method of horn fly and louse control. However, dust bags are only effective when hung in places where cattle are forced to use them. The best locations are areas where cattle must pass once or twice a day, or every other day, for instance between mineral boxes or water and pasture. During the field tests, forced-use dust bags provided an average of 90% horn fly control. Production was increased by an average of 34% over the normal management practice. This increase in production was equivalent to 1/3 lb/animal/day. This 5-page fact sheet was written by P. E. Kaufman and E. N. I.

Water Quality and the Effectiveness of Pesticides
Authors: Fishel Frederick M.
Published: September 2020

Pesticide applicators do not usually blame the mix for a pest control failure. Rather, the applicator will check if the correct pesticide was chosen for the job, if the pest was misidentified, if application equipment was properly calibrated, or if there was pesticide resistance. However, pesticide applicators should be aware that water quality can play a role in the efficacy of a pesticide treatment. Some pesticides lose their effectiveness when mixed with water that contains suspended or dissolved solids. This publication discusses how water quality affects pesticide mixes.

Tips for Integrating Land and Wildlife Management: Quail and Timber
Authors: Giuliano William M. , Watine Lauren
Published: September 2020

In Florida, changes in forest management practices during the past 50+ years have led to declines in quail habitat and populations. Important changes involve the use of fire and conversion of native forests to commercial pine plantations. A lack of fire and other disturbance has often led to closed-canopy forests with dense undergrowth that lack important quail habitat components. This 2-page fact sheet provides several quail habitat improvement tips that focus on diversifying the plant species and structural composition and increasing early successional communities dominated by herbaceous plants. Written by William M. Giuliano and Lauren Watine and published by the UF Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, January 2013.

Authors: Galvão Klibs N. , Eizenberg Ori
Published: September 2020

One important aspect of a cow’s comfort is the type of bedding used. Waterbeds for cows have recently gained popularity because of advertisements, news reports in outlets such as CNN. The UF/IFAS Dairy Unit (DU) provides a good opportunity to compare sand beds and waterbeds at optimal conditions. The dairy has waterbeds installed in one half of the barns and sand beds in the other half. This publication provides a field comparison of waterbeds and sand beds in one herd. We observed that when stalls are maintained at optimal conditions, cows in sand-bedded stalls had decreased incidence of hock lesions and increased stall usage compared to cows in waterbeds. This 5-page fact sheet was written by Klibs N. Galvão and Ori Eizenberg and published by the UF Department of Veterinary Medicine-Large Animal Clinical Sciences, May 2013.

Talak is a halal word but is hated by God, because it can only happen if in a household there is a conflict that can no longer be resolved and as a last resort for domestic life. Because of that there was adivorce that was dropped by the husband when he was dying and later died. In the event of a death, theproblem arises from the transfer of property from people who have died to people who are still alive. Inrelation to inheritance law, the wife who was dropped by the husband when he was dying and then diedthere was a difference of opinion between Imam Malik and Imam Shafi'i. The opinion of Imam Malik inthe books of al-Muwaththa 'and al-Mudawwanatul Kubra that his wife received inheritance. Whereas theopinion of the Qaul Jadid version of Shafi'i in the book al-Umm and the book Mughni Muhtaj that hiswife did not inherit absolutely.

Рассмотрена взаимосвязь кинетических и термодинамических характеристик комплексов ионовметаллов с бутиловым ксантогенатом калия и дибутилдитиофосфатом натрия с физико-химическими параметрамиминералов. Определены корреляционные зависимости для энергии активации распада дибутилдитиофосфатныхкомплексов металлов и средней атомной энергией Гиббса образования сульфидных минералов. Подтвержден принципЭванса-Поляни-Семенова для комплексов ионов металлов с серу- и фосфор-содержащими лигандами. Результатырентгеновского анализа показывают, что концентрат представлен халькопиритом, пиритом, халькоцитом, галеновымиминералами. Далее были рассчитаны термодинамические и кинетические параметры образования комплексов наповерхности сульфидных минералов согласно предложенным зависимостям для средней атомной энергии Гиббса.Показано, что процесс взаимодействия дибутилдитиофосфата натрия с сульфидными минералами колчеданно-медноцинковой руды может быть описан как диффузионный для большинства минералов и как кинетический толькодля халькоцита, который протекает с образованием прочных поверхностных соединений. Установлено, что теплотаобразования комплексов коррелирует с энергоплотностью минералов в большей степени. В связи с этим при разработкефлотационного режима реагентов полиметаллических руд следует учитывать как кинетические, так и термодинамическиекомпоненты раствора и твердого вещества (минерала).

Published: September 2020

Mesin CNC salah satu teknologi yang masih dikembangkan untuk peningkatan kegiatan produksi salah satunya mesin CNC 3 axis dengan fungsi milling. Pada umumnya kontrol utama mesin CNC menggunakan salah satu board dari platform resmi yaitu Mach3 dengan fitur yang sangat mendukung untuk fungsi sebuah mesin CNC salah satunya komunikasi paralel untuk menunjang kinerja mesin CNC tetap stabil, akan tetapi komputer dengan fitur komunikasi paralel umumnya tipe lama dengan spesifikasi rendah yang hanya bisa dijadikan sender dan tidak bisa digunakan untuk mendesain. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut maka diperlukan peningkatan efisiensi dalam memanfaatkan teknologi CNC yaitu dengan menggunakan platform yang bersifat open source dan menggunakan komunikasi serial untuk menjadikan teknologi CNC lebih fleksibel dalam hal pengoperasian dengan satu komputer dapat digunakan untuk mendesain dan sender. Arduino Uno salah satu platform yang bersifat open source yang dapat dimanfaatkan untuk menjadi kontrol utama mesin CNC. Hasil penelitian mesin CNC berbasis Arduino menunjukan bahwa penerapan komunikasi serial untuk pengoperasian mesin CNC memiliki perfomansi dan akurasi yang tidak jauh berbeda dengan mesin CNC yang menggunakan komunikasi serial. Dalam parameter jumlah objek yang dikerjakan sama Mach3 30 detik lebih cepat dengan akurasi kesalahan 0,05% dan Arduino 0,1%. Dalam parameter jumlah waktu yang sama yaitu 30 menit Mach3 menyelesaikan 8 objek dan objek ke - 9 hanya dikerjakan 25,6%, Arduino menyelesaikan 8 objek dan objek ke – 9 hanya 14,5%.
İNCİR VE ZEYTİN: TÎN SÛRESİ BAĞLAMINDA KUR’ÂN’IN TEŞRÎFİNE MAZHAR OLMUŞ İKİ NİMET
Authors: Saçlı Merve
Published: September 2020

İncir ve zeytin çok eski çağlardan bu yana insan hayatında pek çok alanda daima yerini almış iki meyvedir. Kendilerinde bulunan pek çok fayda nedeniyle gerek gıda gerekse öz bakım ve sağlık açısından insan için vazgeçilemez hâle gelmişlerdir. Bu durum geçmişte nasılsa şimdi de aynıyla geçerliliğini muhafaza etmektedir. Anavatanı kabaca Akdeniz havzası olan bu meyveler yetiştikleri bölgelere de kültürel anlamda tesir etmişler, orada yaşayan halkın gelenek ve göreneklerini de şekillendirmişlerdir. Bu anlamda bir kültür inşa etme vasfı kazanmışlardır. Bununla birlikte insanların dini yaşantılarında da bu iki meyvenin tesirlerini görmek mümkündür. Nitekim semavi dinlere âit kutsal kitaplarda bu meyvelerin isimlerine sıklıkla rastlanırken insanlığın son kutsal kitabı olan Yüce kitabımız Kur'ân-ı Kerîm’de de zikredilmekte, bununla da kalmayıp her ikisi üzerine Allah Teâlâ tarafından yemin edilmekte, hatta Arapça’da incir anlamına gelen “tin” kelimesi müstakillen bir sûreye isim olarak verilmektedir. Tüm bunlar söz konusu bu iki meyvenin dini açıdan da bir öneme sahip olduklarına delalet etmektedir. Tüm bunlar göz önünde bulundurulduğunda bu iki meyvenin dini/Kur’ânî planda da ele alınması gerekliliği ortaya çıkmaktadır. Tîn suresi hakkında yapılagelmiş birçok tefsir çalışmasının bulunması bir tarafa bilhassa bu iki meyve özelinde yapılmış müstakil bir araştırmanın eksikliği bizi bu konuyu daha derinlemesine ele alma isteğine sevk etmiştir. Bu araştırmada da geçmişten bugüne incir ve zeytin meyvelerinin insan hayatındaki yeri ve anlamının yanı sıra kendilerine Kur’ân’da yemin edilecek kadar önemli görülmelerinin nedenleri ortaya konmaya çalışılacaktır.
Aristotle's ΚΙΝΗΣΙΣ-ΕΝΕΡΓΕΙΑ Distinction and the Ends of Human Action
Authors: Murphy Joseph
Published: September 2020

A key passage in the development of Aristotle’s argument in book Θ of the Metaphysics is the distinction between the concepts of κίνησις and ἐνέργεια (1048b18-35).

The distinction is made initially on the basis of particular grammatical features of verbs denoting human actions/states: some verbs in the present tense necessarily imply the contemporaneous achievement of the same verb in the Greek perfect tense (e.g. If x is seeing y, then it is the case that, at the same time, x is in a state of having seen y), whereas other verbs in the present tense are necessarily followed by (i.e. do not occur simultaneously with) the same verb in the Greek perfect tense (e.g. If x is building y, then it is not the case that, at the same time, x is in the state of having built y). Aristotle concludes that the former type of verbs (ἐνέργεια-actions) are actions which contain their proximate (i.e. most immediate) end, whereas the latter type (κίνησις-actions) are actions whose proximate ends are separate, the attainment of which yields the termination of the action. The argument in the passage, therefore, circulates around the place of proximate ends within action.

This paper applies the key features of the κίνησις-ἐνέργεια distinction to Aristotle’s discussion of the δύναμις-ἐνέργεια analogy (1048a35-b9), and argues that, if Aristotle’s κίνησις-ἐνέργεια distinction is to be taken seriously, the analogy must be thought of primarily in terms of teleology. This result is finally applied to the problem of unattainable ultimate (i.e. remote) ends, or ends which human actions strive for but never reach. The problem (unsurprisingly) finds its solution in Aristotle’s natural theology presented in book Λ.
