A temática regionalização brasileira integra o currículo do 7º ano do Ensino Fundamental da EMEF Junto ao CAIC Luizinho de Grandi, devendo, assim, ser abordada com os estudantes de forma lúdica e interativa para desenvolver noções críticas e reflexivas sobre a organização do espaço do nosso país. Assim, pensou-se a presente proposta pedagógica pautada no Teatro de Fantoches como ferramenta mediadora da construção de saberes. Teve-se como objetivo da atividade fazer com que os estudantes de Educação Básica desenvolvam habilidades e competências para reconhecer as disparidades e semelhanças entre as Regiões Brasileiras (classificação do IBGE), comparando e compreendendo o porquê dessa regionalização. Além disso, pretendeu-se identificar os “tipos culturais” de cada região do Brasil, desmistificar os estereótipos comumente associados a cada parte do país e produzir um Teatro de Fantoches sobre a temática regionalização, estimulando a criatividade e a produção textual entre os alunos. Toda a proposta pedagógica contou com o acompanhamento e monitoria dos bolsistas PIBID/Geografia/UFSM, nos meses de Setembro e Outubro de 2018. Com base nas atividades desenvolvidas, concluímos que a proposta pedagógica ajudou a consolidar muitos conhecimentos acerca da temática regionalização brasileira entre os estudantes da Educação Básica e foi uma experiência enriquecedora aos bolsistas PIBID/Geografia/UFSM por vivenciarem a sala de aula e interagirem com o seu futuro campo de atuação. Portanto, acreditasse que a proposta logrou êxito e cumpriu o seu papel enquanto uma intervenção pedagógica que colabora com a aprendizagem dos estudantes da Educação Básica e, de mesmo modo, com a formação dos futuros docentes de Geografia.

Published: June 2021

O presente trabalho discute sobre as abordagens geográficas presentes nas tiras de Mafalda e sua utilização na educação básica. Propondo reflexões acerca do potencial desta representação cultural e na tentativa de se construir um conhecimento significativo a partir do uso dos quadrinhos da Mafalda, buscamos oferecer um recurso didático-pedagógico que possibilite ao educando crescer como sujeito crítico e ciente do espaço que o cerca. O ensino de geografia passa por um processo de renovação, que resgatou a importância da leitura da paisagem, a qual é entendida como aspecto visível do espaço geográfico. Para realização deste estudo a metodologia utilizada foi revisão bibliográfica de autores que discutem a temática, a exemplo de VERGUEIRO (2015), RAMOS (2015) e SILVA (2010). O recorte da pesquisa se encontra na abordagem sobre o capitalismo nas tirinhas de Mafalda, onde analisamos a possibilidade das mesmas se tornarem um suporte teórico e conceitual, podendo interferir no processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Muitas são as tiras que apresentam essa temática, todavia a análise que nos propomos a realizar não será exaustiva, uma vez que faremos uso apenas de cinco tirinhas no trabalho.
HIV/AIDS and higher education in Lesotho : a Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) analysis of three institutions’ responses
Authors:   ,   Durban University of Technology, Maraka Monaphathi
Published: June 2021

The purpose of this study is to interpretively analyse the fight against HIV/AIDS, referred to as ‘response’, in three of Lesotho’s institutions of higher education (IHEs). These are the Lesotho College of Education (LCE), the National Health Training College (NHTC) and the National University of Lesotho (NUL). This study uses cultural historical activity theory (CHAT) to qualitatively interpret the response in a country with the second highest HIV prevalence globally. The study applies Vygotsky’s first generation of CHAT, Leontiev’s multifaceted second generation, and Engeström’s third generation, which features a minimum of two interacting activity systems. Its multimodal methodology draws from Mukeredzi’s (2009, p.56) critique of CHAT and its problem of not getting “in” deep into dimensions of an activity. Thus, this study incorporates closely matching theories, models and concepts around CHAT; mainly the World Health Organisation’s (2004b) health standards, Zeithaml and Bitner’s (2000) services marketing mix and Checkland and Holwell’s (1998) information systems. The findings reveal that conceptual tools - human skills and policies, do not mediate material processes such as planning, financing and reporting, resulting in a poor response. Gaps in human agency across critical elements of activity in the three IHEs result in conceptual, functional and material contradictions, and poor use of mediating artefacts adversely affects all interventions, including HIV testing and services (HTS), anti-retroviral (ARV) treatment and viral load suppression (VLS) envisaged in the UNAIDS (2014a and 2015) guidelines. This study teased out ‘expanded contradictions’ and tensions in the IHEs response, which invoked expansion, transformations, opportunities and new implications. Despite the IHEs leadership awareness of need for change, an historical embeddedness in unchanging cultures and functional contradictions due to poor agency (by subjects), lack of policies (rules), finance, (tools), hamper the response. The study found opportunities for IHEs against HIV/AIDS. Thisstudy recommends two new agency models. One is ‘knit-working’, which aims to improve responses by identifying key, specific, and rapidly doable ‘nitty-gritty’ inter-college activities. The second model aims to strengthen IHEs leadership agency through 3-Cs of commitment at top management, improved resources and capacity at middle management, in order to enable operational level services to evidence the concern over AIDS. This study will alleviate a dearth of literature in the nexus of Lesotho’s IHEs, HIV/AIDS and services.
Synthesis and Antibacterial Effect Evaluation of AgNPs, TiO2NPs, and TiO2-Ag Nanocomposites
Authors: Chkaif Mourad
Published: June 2021

Due to the increase of bacterial infections that keep threatening human health and safety, the need for efficient and strong antibacterial agents is still fatal. TiO2 nanoparticle’s photocatalytic properties have been widely used as antibacterial agents. However, the use of this photocatalytic nanomaterial has some drawbacks due to its wide bandgap energy and necessity for UV irradiations. TiO2-Ag nanocomposite has been recognized as one of the good bactericidal agents due to its excellent antibacterial and photocatalytic properties upon visible light. To explore the antibacterial activity of these nanomaterials, this study was conducted to synthesize three types of nanomaterials, namely silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2), and TiO2-Ag nanocomposites. TiO2 was doped with carbon and nitrogen elements (C,N-TiO2) in this study to improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 under visible light irradiation. C,N-TiO2 was further used to combine with AgNPs to form a novel nanocomposite (TiO2-Ag). Both SEM and TEM techniques were used to characterize the nanomaterials’ morphology and size. The nanoparticles’ crystalline phase was further investigated via the XRD technique. The antibacterial effect of the synthesized nanoparticles within the concentration range of 10, 20, 50, and 100 ppm was tested using two different strains of bacteria, i.e., E. coli and B. subtilis.

Abstract. The contribution of new particle formation (NPF) to cloud condensation
nuclei (CCN) number concentration (NCCN) varies largely under different
environments and depends on several key factors such as formation rate (J),
growth rate (GR), distribution of preexisting particles, and properties of
new particles during NPF events. This study investigates the contribution of
NPF to the NCCN and its controlling factors based on measurements
conducted at the Heshan supersite, in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region of
China during fall 2019. The size-resolved cloud condensation nuclei
activity and size-resolved particle hygroscopicity were measured by a cloud
condensation nuclei counter (CCNc) and a hygroscopic tandem differential
mobility analyzer (HTDMA), respectively, along with a scanning mobility
particle sizer (SMPS) and a diethylene glycol scanning mobility particle
sizer (DEG-SMPS) for particle number size distribution (PNSD). A typical NPF
event on 29 October was chosen to investigate the contribution of the
NPF to NCCN under several supersaturation (SS) ratios. Two particle
properties (hygroscopicity and surface tension) affect CCN activation with
the latter being more important in terms of the CCN concentration
(NCCN). A lower value of surface tension (i.e., 0.06 N m−1) than the
pure-water assumption (0.073 N m−1) could increase the NCCN at
SS  =  1.0 % by about 20 % during the nonevent period and by about 40 % during the event. In addition, an earlier peak time corresponding to a lower
critical diameter (D50) was also observed. The results show that high
formation rate, growth rate, and low background particle concentration lead
to high number concentrations of newly formed particles. The high growth
rate was found to have the most significant impact on the NCCN, which
can be attributed to the fact that a higher growth rate can grow particles
to the CCN size in a shorter time before they are scavenged by preexisting
particles. Two other NPF events (an event on 18 October in this
campaign and an event on 12 December 2014 in Panyu) were chosen to
perform sensitivity tests under different scenarios (growth rate, formation
rate, and background particle concentration). The calculated NCCN at
SS = 1.0 % on 12 December 2014 was significantly lower than that
from the other two events. The event on 12 December was re-simulated
using the growth rate taken from the event on 18 October which
resulted in similar CCN concentrations between the two events (12 December and 18 October), implying that the growth rate is the major
impact factor for CCN activation. Our results highlight the importance of
growth rate and surface tension when evaluating the contribution of NPF to
the NCCN.
Detection of ship plumes from residual fuel operation in emission control areas using single-particle mass spectrometry

Published: June 2021

Abstract. Ships are among the main contributors to global air pollution, with substantial impacts on climate and public health. To improve air quality in densely populated coastal areas and to protect sensitive ecosystems, sulfur emission control areas (SECAs) were established in many regions of the world. Ships in SECAs operate with low-sulfur fuels, typically distillate fractions such as marine gas oil (MGO). Alternatively, exhaust gas-cleaning devices (“scrubbers”) can be implemented to remove SO2 from the exhaust, thus allowing the use of cheap high-sulfur residual fuels. Compliance monitoring is established in harbors but is difficult in open water because of high costs and technical limitations. Here we present the first experiments to detect individual ship plumes from distances of several kilometers by single-particle mass spectrometry (SPMS). In contrast to most monitoring approaches that evaluate the gaseous emissions, such as manned or unmanned surveillance flights, sniffer technologies and remote sensing, we analyze the metal content of individual particles which is conserved during atmospheric transport. We optimized SPMS technology for the evaluation of residual fuel emissions and demonstrate their detection in a SECA. Our experiments show that ships with installed scrubbers can emit PM emissions with health-relevant metals in quantities high enough to be detected from more than 10 km distance, emphasizing the importance of novel exhaust-cleaning technologies and cleaner fuels. Because of the unique and stable signatures, the method is not affected by urban background. With this study, we establish a route towards a novel monitoring protocol for ship emissions. Therefore, we present and discuss mass spectral signatures that indicate the particle age and thus the distance to the source. By matching ship transponder data, measured wind data and air mass back trajectories, we show how real-time SPMS data can be evaluated to assign distant ship passages.

Abstract. Iodine species are important in the marine atmosphere for
oxidation and new-particle formation. Understanding iodine chemistry and
iodine new-particle formation requires high time resolution, high
sensitivity, and simultaneous measurements of many iodine species. Here, we
describe the application of a bromide chemical ionization mass spectrometer
(Br-CIMS) to this task. During the iodine oxidation experiments in the
Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets (CLOUD) chamber, we have measured gas-phase
iodine species and sulfuric acid using two Br-CIMS, one coupled to a
Multi-scheme chemical IONization inlet (Br-MION-CIMS) and the other to a
Filter Inlet for Gasses and AEROsols inlet (Br-FIGAERO-CIMS). From offline
calibrations and intercomparisons with other instruments, we have
quantified the sensitivities of the Br-MION-CIMS to HOI, I2, and
H2SO4 and obtained detection limits of 5.8 × 106,
3.8 × 105, and 2.0 × 105 molec. cm−3,
respectively, for a 2 min integration time. From binding energy
calculations, we estimate the detection limit for HIO3 to be
1.2 × 105 molec. cm−3, based on an assumption of maximum
sensitivity. Detection limits in the Br-FIGAERO-CIMS are around 1 order of
magnitude higher than those in the Br-MION-CIMS; for example, the detection
limits for HOI and HIO3 are 3.3 × 107 and 5.1 × 106 molec. cm−3, respectively. Our comparisons of the performance
of the MION inlet and the FIGAERO inlet show that bromide chemical
ionization mass spectrometers using either atmospheric pressure or reduced
pressure interfaces are well-matched to measuring iodine species and
sulfuric acid in marine environments.
A survey of proximal methods for monitoring leaf phenology in temperate deciduous forests

Published: June 2021

Abstract. Tree phenology is a major driver of forest–atmosphere
mass and energy exchanges. Yet, tree phenology has rarely been
monitored in a consistent way throughout the life of a flux-tower
site. Here, we used seasonal time series of ground-based NDVI
(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), RGB camera GCC (greenness chromatic coordinate), broadband NDVI, LAI (leaf area index), fAPAR
(fraction of absorbed photosynthetic active radiation), CC (canopy closure),
fRvis (fraction of reflected radiation) and GPP (gross primary productivity) to predict six phenological markers detecting the start,
middle and end of budburst and of leaf senescence in a temperate deciduous
forest using an asymmetric double sigmoid function (ADS) fitted to
the time series. We compared them to observations of budburst and leaf
senescence achieved by field phenologists over a 13-year period. GCC, NDVI
and CC captured the interannual variability of spring phenology very well
(R2>0.80) and provided the best estimates of the
observed budburst dates, with a mean absolute deviation (MAD) of less than 4 d. For the CC and GCC methods, mid-amplitude (50 %) threshold dates
during spring phenological transition agreed well with the observed
phenological dates. For the NDVI-based method, on average, the mean observed
date coincides with the date when NDVI reaches 25 % of its amplitude of
annual variation. For the other methods, MAD ranges from 6 to 17 d. The ADS
method used to derive the phenological markers provides the most biased
estimates for the GPP and GCC. During the leaf senescence stage,
NDVI- and CC-derived dates correlated significantly with observed dates
(R2=0.63 and 0.80 for NDVI and CC, respectively), with an MAD
of less than 7 d. Our results show that proximal-sensing methods can be used
to derive robust phenological metrics. They can be used to retrieve
long-term phenological series at eddy covariance (EC) flux measurement sites and help
interpret the interannual variability and trends of mass and energy
exchanges.

Abstract. We have established a stable water isotope monitoring network in the Shiyang River Basin in China’arid northwest. The basin is characterized by low precipitation, high evaporation and dense population. It is the basin with the most significant ecological pressure and the greatest water resources shortage in China. The monitoring station covers the upper, middle and lower reaches of the river basin, with six observation systems: river source area, oasis area, reservoir canal system area, oasis farmland area, ecological restoration area, and salinized area. All data in the data set are differentiated by water body types (precipitation, river water, lake water, groundwater, soil water, plant water). The data set is updated annually to gradually improve each observation system and increase data from observation points. So far, the data have been obtained for five consecutive years. The data set includes stable isotope data, meteorological data and hydrological data in the Shiyang River Basin. The data set can analyze the relationship between different water bodies and water circulation in the Shiyang River Basin. This observation network’s construction provides us with stable water isotopes data and hydrometeorological data, and we can use theae data for hydrological and meteorological related scientific research. It can also provide a scientific basis for water resources utilization, water conservancy project construction, and ecological environment restoration decision-making in China’s arid areas. The data that support the findings of this study are openly available in Zhu (2021) at “Data sets of Stable water isotope monitoring network of different water bodies in Shiyang River Basin, a typical arid river in China (Supplemental Edition)”, Mendeley Data, V1, doi: 10.17632/w5rpxwf99g.1.
Locating rock slope failures along highways and understanding their physical processes using seismic signals
Authors: Chang Jui-Ming , Chao Wei-An , Chen Hongey , Kuo Yu-Ting , Yang Che-Ming
Published: June 2021

Abstract. Regional monitoring of rock slope failures using the seismic technique is rarely undertaken due to significant source location errors; this method also still lacks
the signal features needed to understand events of this type because of the complex mass movement involved. To better comprehend these types of events, 10 known events along highways in Taiwan were analyzed. First, a hybrid method (GeoLoc) composed of cross-correlation-based and
amplitude-attenuation-based approaches was applied, and it produced a maximum location error of 3.19 km for the 10 events. We then
analyzed the ratio of local magnitude (ML) and duration magnitude (MD) and found that a threshold of 0.85 yields
successful classification between rock slope failure and earthquake. Further, GeoLoc can retrieve the seismic parameters, such as signal
amplitude at the source (A0) and ML of events, which are crucial for constructing scaling law with source volume (V). Indeed,
Log(V) = 1.12 ML + 3.08 and V = 77 290 A00.44 derived in this study provide the lower bound of
volume estimation, as the seismic parameters based on peak amplitudes cannot represent the full process of mass loss. Second, while video records
correspond to seismic signals, the processes of toppling and sliding present column- and V-shaped spectrograms, respectively. The impacts of
rockfall link directly to the pulses of seismic signals. Here, all spectrogram features of events can be identified for events with volumes larger than
2000 m3, corresponding to the farthest epicenter distance of ∼ 2.5 km. These results were obtained using the GeoLoc
scheme for providing the government with rapid reports for reference. Finally, a recent event on 12 June 2020 was used to examine the GeoLoc scheme's
feasibility. We estimated the event's volume using two scalings: 3838 and 3019 m3. These values were roughly consistent with the volume
estimation of 5142 m3 from the digital elevation model. The physical processes, including rockfall, toppling, and complex motion
behaviors of rock interacting with slope inferred from the spectrogram features were comprehensively supported by the video record and field
investigation. We also demonstrated that the GeoLoc scheme, which has been implemented in Sinwulyu catchment, Taiwan, can provide fast reports,
including the location, volume, and physical process of events, to the public soon after they occur.

Abstract. Air quality modeling for research and regulatory
applications often involves executing many emissions sensitivity cases to
quantify impacts of hypothetical scenarios, estimate source contributions, or
quantify uncertainties. Despite the prevalence of this task, conventional
approaches for perturbing emissions in chemical transport models like the
Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model require extensive offline
creation and finalization of alternative emissions input files. This workflow is often time-consuming, error-prone, inconsistent among model users, difficult to document, and dependent on increased hard disk resources. The Detailed Emissions Scaling, Isolation, and Diagnostic (DESID)
module, a component of CMAQv5.3 and beyond, addresses these limitations by
performing these modifications online during the air quality simulation.
Further, the model contains an Emission Control Interface which allows users
to prescribe both simple and highly complex emissions scaling operations
with control over individual or multiple chemical species, emissions
sources, and spatial areas of interest. DESID further enhances the
transparency of its operations with extensive error-checking and optional
gridded output of processed emission fields. These new features are of high
value to many air quality applications including routine perturbation
studies, atmospheric chemistry research, and coupling with external models
(e.g., energy system models, reduced-form models).
The role of tropopause polar vortices in the intensification of summer Arctic cyclones
Authors: Gray Suzanne Louise , Hodges Kevin  Ivan , Vautrey Jonathan Luke , Methven John
Published: June 2021

Abstract. Human activity in the Arctic is increasing as new regions become accessible, with a consequent need for improved understanding of hazardous weather there. Arctic cyclones are the major weather systems affecting the Arctic environment during summer, including the sea ice distribution. Meso- to synoptic-scale tropopause polar vortices (TPVs) frequently occur in polar regions and are a proposed mechanism for Arctic cyclone genesis and intensification. However, while the importance of pre-existing tropopause-level features for cyclone development, and their existence as part of the three-dimensional mature cyclone structure, is well established in the mid-latitudes, evidence of the importance of pre-existing TPVs for Arctic cyclone development is mainly limited to a few case studies. Here we examine the extent to which Arctic cyclone growth is coupled to TPVs by analysing a climatology of summer Arctic cyclones and TPV characteristics produced by tracking both features in the latest ECMWF reanalysis (ERA5). The annual counts of Arctic cyclones and TPVs are significantly correlated for features with genesis either within or outside the Arctic, implying that TPVs have a role in the development of Arctic cyclones. However, from their proximity, only about one third of Arctic cyclones intensify while influenced by a TPV and a maximum of 10 % have a nearby TPV at their genesis time. Consistent with the track densities of the full sets of Arctic cyclones and TPVs, cyclones associated with TPVs during their intensification phase (matched cyclones) track preferentially over the Arctic Ocean along the North American coastline and Canadian Archipelago. In contrast, cyclones intensifying distant from any TPV (unmatched cyclones) track preferentially along the north coast of Eurasia. Composite analysis reveals the presence of a distinct relative vorticity maximum at and above the tropopause level associated with the TPV throughout the intensification period for matched cyclones and that these cyclones have a reduced upstream tilt compared to unmatched cyclones. Interaction of cyclones with TPVs has implications for the predictability of Arctic weather, given the long lifetime, but relatively small spatial scale of TPVs compared with the density of the polar observation network.
Effect of individual blade pitch angle misalignment on the remaining useful life of wind turbines
Authors: Saathoff Matthias , Rosemeier Malo , Kleinselbeck Thorsten , Rathmann Bente
Published: June 2021

Abstract. An empirical data set of laser-optical pitch angle misalignment measurements on wind turbines was analyzed, and showed that 38 % of the turbines have been operating outside the accepted aerodynamic imbalance range. This imbalance results from deviations between the working pitch angle and the design angle set point. Several studies have focused on the consequences of this imbalance for the annual energy production (AEP) loss and mention a possible decrease in fatigue budget, i.e., remaining useful life (RUL). This research, however, quantifies the effect of the individual blade pitch angle misalignment and the resulting aerodynamic imbalance on the RUL of a wind turbine. To this end, several imbalance scenarios were derived from the empirical data representing various individual pitch misalignment configurations of the three blades. As the use case, a commercial 1.5 MW turbine was investigated which provided a good representation of the sites and the turbine types in the empirical data set. Aeroelastic load simulations were conducted to determine the RUL of the turbine components. It was found that the RUL decreased in most scenarios, while the non-rotating wind turbine components were affected most by an aerodynamic imbalance.

Drying Kinetics of Maize Cob Using Mathematical Modelling
Authors: Pankaj Kumar  , Dhritiman Saha
Published: June 2021

Maize cobs (with husk and without husk) with initial moisture content of 78.38 % and 62.39 % (d.b.), respectively, were dried up to 20 % moisture content (d.b.) at three temperatures (45°C, 55°C and 65°C). Moisture ratios (MR) were calculated from moisture loss data and fitted to six (Newton’s, Page, Thompson, Modified Page, Henderson and Pabis, and Wang and Singh) drying mathematical models. Coefficient of determination (R2) and root mean square error (RMSE) were used for comparison of the models. From the analyses, Modified Page model showed the best fit to the experimental data with R2 varying from 0.9924 to 0.9968 for maize cob with husk and 0.9994 to 9989 for cobs without husk at given drying temperatures. The Modified Page model was found to be a superior model representing the drying kinetics of maize cob with and without husk at drying temperatures of 45, 55, and 65°C. The increase in drying temperature caused a reduction in drying time, and the drying took place in the falling rate period. Maize cobs with husk took more time for drying as compared to that without husk at the same temperature. The values of effective diffusivity lied between 1.079×10-8 m2.s-1 and 4.239×10-8 m2.s-1 for maize cob with husk, and between 1.194×10-8 m2.s-1 and 5.230×10-8 m2.s-1 for maize cob without husk. Effective diffusivity increased with increase in drying temperature, and was higher for maize cob without husk than that of with husk.

Published: June 2021

Water management simulation model DRAINMOD-S was calibrated (1995-96) and validated (1997) using 3-year experimental field data (1995-1997) from the installed subsurface drainage system at 1.8 m drain depth with 40, 60, and 80 m drain spacing at Golewala watershed, Faridkot, Punjab, India. Sensitivity analysis of the model parameters revealed that lateral saturated hydraulic conductivity, drain depth, and drain spacing are the most effective parameters in changing the model output. The root mean square error, efficiency, and coefficient of determination between observed and simulated soil salinity ranged from 0.01to 0.06 dS.m-1, 0.647 to 0.834 dS.m-1 and 0.957 to 0.999 dS.m-1 for three drain spacings (40, 60 and 80 m), respectively, during calibration and validation period. The calibrated and validated model was used to predict the soil salinity (EC) for five consecutive years (1998-2003). The average soil salinity of root zone (300-600 mm), (600-900 mm) and (900-1200 mm) decreased from January, 1998 to December, 2003. The predicted values of soil salinity were found to decrease from 2.23, 2.34, and 1.92 dS.m-1 to 1.68 dS.m-1, 1.70 and 1.42 dS.m-1 for 40 m drain spacing at root zone depth of 300-600 mm, 600-900 mm, and 900-1200 mm, respectively. Similarly, the salinity values for the same period and root zone depth were found to decrease from 2.20, 2.31, and 1.90 dS.m-1 to 1.75,1.78, and 1.74 dS.m-1 for 60 m drain spacing; and 2.21, 2.31, and 1.93 dS.m-1 to 1.80,1.82, and 1.48 dS.m-1 for 80 m drain spacing, respectively, at the end of five years. DRAINMOD-S model was reliably applicable for predicting soil salinity under sub-surface drainage system in arid and semi-arid region of Punjab, India.

As a campus that has a maritime mission, Madura State Polytechnic has made a master plan for campus development by building a shipyard. This is also supported by the campus located on the beach. In preparing the shipyard, facilities are very important, so a careful planning is needed in doing the layout.

In this paper, we will propose a layout process based on the production flow pattern of shipbuilding, comparison with the layout design using the CORELAP algorithm method, by calculating the percentage value of material handling and planning tools and facilities for the POLTERA shipyard.

The facility layout planning obtained new and repaired building types with an area of ??5.16 hectares and a layout design with an L layout production flow pattern. The design had a material handling percentage value of 21.62%.
