Ab initio study of mechanism of forming a Si-heterocyclic spiro-Sn-heterocyclic ring compound by cycloaddition reaction of H2Si = Sn: and ethylene
Authors: Tan Xiaojun , Lu Xiuhui
Published: December 2018

X2Si = Sn: (X=H, Me, F, Cl, Br, Ph, Ar…) are new species of chemistry. The cycloaddition reaction of X2Si = Sn: are new study field of stannylene chemistry. The mechanism of cycloaddition reaction between singlet state H2Si = Sn: and ethylene has been first investigated with the MP2/GENECP(C, H, Si in 6-311++  G**; Sn in LanL2dz) method in this paper. From the potential energy profile, it could be predicted that the reaction has one dominant reaction channel. The reaction rule presented is that the 5p unoccupied orbital of Sn in H2Si = Sn: and the π orbital of ethylene forming a π ⟶  p donor–acceptor bond resulting in the formation of an intermediate. Instability of the intermediate make it isomerizes to a four-membered Si-heterocyclic ring stannylene. Because the 5p unoccupied orbital of Sn atom in the four-membered Si-heterocyclic ring stannylene and the π orbital of ethylene form a π ⟶  p donor–acceptor bond, the four-membered Si-heterocyclic ring stannylene further combines with ethylene to form another intermediate. Because the Sn atom in the intermediate happens sp3 hybridization after transition state, the intermediate isomerizes to a Si-heterocyclic spiro-Sn-heterocyclic ring compound. The research result indicates the laws of cycloaddition reaction between X2Si = Sn: and the symmetric π-bonded compounds. The study opens up a new research field for stannylene chemistry.

A agricultura de precisão, que pode ser aplicada em qualquer etapa da produção de cana-de-açúcar, visa proporcionar maior produtividade, redução do impacto ambiental e melhor rendimento econômico pela aplicação correta dos insumos agrícolas. Objetivou-se com este trabalho caracterizar as zonas específicas de manejo do solo, empregando-se correlações lineares e espaciais entre atributos da cultura da cana-de-açúcar e atributos químicos de um Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo distrófico, no sentido de indicar aquele que mais eficientemente esteja relacionado com o aumento da produtividade. O trabalho foi desenvolvido no ano agrícola de 2012/13, no município de Chapadão do Céu, Goiás, Brasil. Foram analisadas as correlações lineares e espaciais entre atributos da cana-de-açúcar e de alguns atributos químicos do solo, em duas profundidades (0-0,25 e 0,25-0,50 m). Para isso, foi instalado um grid geoestatístico (230 m x 228 m; 5,244 ha), onde foram alocados 121 pontos amostrais para coleta dos dados. Portanto, com o aumento do número de plantas por metro quadrado (stand) ocorreu também o aumento da produtividade de colmos de cana-de-açúcar. Os teores de fósforo do solo, por evidenciarem correlações lineares e espaciais com a produtividade de colmos, constituíram-se indicadores de zonas específicas de manejo do solo fortemente associadas à produtividade da cana-de-açúcar.
A FRAGILIDADE DA PRESERVAÇÃO EM ANÁPOLIS

Published: December 2018

O presente artigo visa ressaltar que na história urbana de uma cidade ações e transformações pautadas sobre o discurso e a ideia do progresso e do novo têm colocado em risco a permanência e a valorização de sua história e da sua memória coletiva. Anápolis é uma cidade goiana centenária, que já possui uma paisagem urbana bastante alterada em que parece prevalecer a tradição pela novidade, arraigada a uma cultura de renovação constante. O ponto de partida para analisar essa questão, que coloca foco sobre a condição da preservação do patrimônio histórico e cultural na contemporaneidade, foram dois vídeos comemorativos para datas importantes da cidade, produzidos em épocas diferentes com um intervalo de 50 anos entre eles, e que contam muito sobre essa sociedade marcada por fatos históricos particulares e pela presença de migrantes desde o início da sua formação. A intenção não é propriamente narrar ou discutir o processo de desenvolvimento e progresso de Anápolis, mas a maneira como ele afetou e afeta a memória coletiva e a valorização do passado.
TRADIÇÕES DA CONGADA E PROCESSOS DE URBANIZAÇÃO: A FESTA EM LOUVOR A NOSSA SENHORA DO ROSÁRIO E SÃO BENEDITO DA VILA JOÃO VAZ
Authors: Carvalho Cleber De Sousa
Published: December 2018

Este texto apresenta reflexões a respeito dos impactos dos processos de urbanização nas tradições da Congada na Festa em Louvor a Nossa Senhora do Rosário e São Benedito da Vila João Vaz. A festa é um dos momentos em que são manifestadas tradições da Congada, que também se relacionam com antigos modos da vida rural, na cidade de Goiânia. Tais tradições deste grupo pertencem a um sistema cultural que, para além de seus próprios valores, também interage com outras culturas presentes na Vila e na cidade. Os impactos provenientes das relações estabelecidas a partir dessas interações culturais possuem como substrato configurações de sociabilidades decorrentes dos processos de urbanização que se efetivam na cidade. Assim, apesar dos processos de transformação e de renovação intrínsecos às manifestações da cultura popular, abordaremos as interferências do urbano nas tradições da Congada.

‘I school at...’ and Other Sentences: A Phenomenon of English Sentence Production of Indonesian EFL Learners
Authors: Indriyani Christina Eli , Septiyani Maria
Published: December 2018

Learning English as a foreign language is important but it is also difficult. The reason why it is important is that it can support learners to reach the opportunities in the future, for example getting a job, getting a scholarship, conducting a research and many others. However, it is also difficult. The difficulties can be seen from various aspects, such as learners' background knowledge, learners' mother tongue, and learners' anxiety. Indonesian who learn English experiences these kinds of difficulties. English is learnt as a foreign language in Indonesia. Though it has taught since early level, there are mistakes found by the writers when the learners produce spoken or written utterances. The mistake that triggers the writers to write this paper is the sentence 'I am school at SMA 5 Kupang,' when the student meant to say 'Saya bersekolah di SMA 5 Kupang.' This kind of mistake raises since the students do not get used to English and they have lack of knowledge of English. Therefore, instead of saying 'I study at SMA 5 Kupang,' they say 'I am school at SMA5 Kupang.' This phenomenon likely influence students' ability in producing utterances especially in direct translation. The data of this research was collected through observation and studentsâ performance in class. The data was analysed qualitatively and the result showed that most students made mistakes before the teachers correct them. This paper aims to dig out more on this phenomenon and it is expected to give more insight to the English learning and teaching process.

Published: December 2018

This paper explores how nature is depicted by two poets of different nationality using ecocriticism. Ecological approach is used as framework to focus more on the connection and relationship between human and their environment and the possible impact on the disruption of human-nature relationship. People living in different environment will have different reception toward their surroundings. The aim of this paper is to explore how both poets describe nature in their selected works. Ayurzana and Yong ShuHoong represent two poets exposed to different environment;hence, this paper seeks to present how different Ayurzana who lives in a rural area portray his surrounding compared with Hoong as an urban dweller. As a native Mongolian, Ayurzana explores the close connection between Mongolian people and nature. On the other hand, Hoong’s poetry elaborates life in cities and people that become detached from the natural environment. By analyzing two poets from different living conditions, this paper acknowledges that ecological issue might differ from one region to another.

Decarbonizing Energy in Bali With Solar Photovoltaic: GIS-Based Evaluation on Grid-Connected System
Authors: Syanalia Ami , Winata Fikriyah
Published: December 2018

In the past century, fossil fuels have dominated energy supply in Indonesia. However, concerns over emissions are likely to change the future energy supply. As people become more conscious of environmental issues, alternatives for energy are sought to reduce the environmental impacts. These include renewable energy (RE) sources such as solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. However, most RE sources like solar PV are not available continuously since they depend on weather conditions, in addition to geographical location. Bali has a stable and long sunny day with 12 hours of daylight throughout the year and an average insolation of 5.3 kWh/m2 per day. This study looks at the potential for on-grid solar PV to decarbonize energy in Bali. A site selection methodology using GIS is applied to measure solar PV potential. Firstly, the study investigates the boundaries related to environmental acceptability and economic objectives for land use in Bali. Secondly, the potential of solar energy is estimated by defining the suitable areas, given the technical assumptions of solar PV. Finally, the study extends the analysis to calculate the reduction in emissions when the calculated potential is installed. Some technical factors, such as tilting solar, and intermittency throughout the day, are outside the scope of this study. Based on this model, Bali has an annual electricity potential for 32-53 TWh from solar PV using amorphous thin-film silicon as the cheapest option. This potential amount to three times the electricity supply for the island in 2024 which is estimated at 10 TWh. Bali has an excessive potential to support its own electricity demand with renewables, however, some limitations exist with some trade-offs to realize the idea. These results aim to build a developmental vision of solar PV systems in Bali based on available land and the region’s irradiation.

Enabling Community Participation for Social Innovation in the Energy Sector
Authors: Budiman Ibnu
Published: December 2018

This study investigates enabling conditions for facilitating social innovation in the energy sector. This aspect is important to support the energy transition in Indonesia. This research provides appropriate project direction, including research (and action) gaps for the energy actors in Indonesia. The actors are encouraged to work further with the result of this study to stimulate the energy transition in Indonesia. This study uses a systemic change framework which recognizes four drivers of systemic change in a region: 1. transforming political ecologies; 2. configuring green economies; 3. building adaptive communities; 4. social innovation. These drivers are interconnected, and this study focuses on how the social innovation can be supported by other drivers. This study used interviews and literature review as the sources of data. There were interviews with eight experts who come from different countries and are experienced in social innovation in the energy sector. Afterward, this research reviewed related journal papers from the last five years, to check the latest developments within the topic, to support the interview results. The study found that the enabling condition can focus on one of the drivers of systemic change, which is building communities by increasing their participation, through several integrated actions. This point can be implemented in two types of citizen energy initiatives which are energy cooperatives and sustainable consumption initiatives. Further implementation of these initiatives requires a study on policy and governance support, to create complete enabling conditions to facilitate social innovation in the energy transition.

Published: December 2018

The trial was conducted at Multi Location Testing (MLT) site under On-Farm Research Division, BARI, Kushtia during the last week of February, 2015 to second week of February, 2017 at farmers’ field condition to cover two cropping cycle of four crops. The main objectives of the trial were to verify the feasibility of growing improved cropping pattern Mustard-Mungbean-T.Aus-T.Aman rice and to compare its productivity and profitability with existing cropping pattern Lentil-Sesame-T.Aman rice. The varieties BARI Sarisha-15, BARI Mung-6, BRRI dhan48 and Binadhan-7 were used for the crop Mustard, Mungbean, T.Aus and T.Aman rice, respectively in the improved cropping pattern, while in case of existing pattern, the varieties were BARI Masur-6, BARI Till-3 and Binadhan-7 for Lentil, Sesame and T.Aman rice, respectively. Findings revealed that the mean crop duration of 340 days were required for one cycle in a year in improved cropping pattern which implied that four crop based cropping pattern was agronomically feasible to replace existing cropping pattern. Total seed/grain yield in terms of REY of improved cropping pattern was 14.85 t ha-1 year-1 which was 44% higher than that of existing pattern (10.30 t ha-1 year-1). Mean production efficiency (35.78 kg ha-1 day-1), land use efficiency (93.15%) and labour employment (589 mandays ha-1 year-1) of improved cropping pattern was 51%, 16% and 62%, higher, respectively than that of existing cropping pattern. The mean net economic advangaes of improved cropping pattern was Tk 12677 ha-1 year-1 which implied that the improved cropping pattern was economically viable. Moreover, the improved cropping pattern increased cropping intensity, farmers knowledge, skill, and income as well as employment. It also maintained soil health by incorporating mungbean stover and T.Aus rice straw in the soil. Therefore, farmers in Kushtia region of Bangladesh could follow the improved cropping pattern in their high and medium high land for higher productivity and profitability as well as employment generation over existing cropping pattern.Bangladesh J.

Combining ability and heterosis studyin maize inbreds throughout diallel mating design
Authors: Karim ANMS , Ahmed S , Akhi AH , Talukder MZA , Karim A
Published: December 2018

Combining ability effects were estimated for grain yield and some other important agronomic traits of maize in a 7×7 diallel analysis excluding reciprocals. The variances for general combining ability (GCA) were found significant for yield, days to pollen shedding, days to silking and ear height while it was found non-significant for plant height and number of kernels/ear. Non-significant general combining ability (GCA) variance for plant height and number of kernels/ear indicates that these two traits were predominantly controlled by non- additive type of gene action. Specific combining ability (SCA) was significant for all the characters except yield and days to silking. Non-significant specific combining ability (SCA) variance for yield and days to silking suggests that these two traits were predominantly controlled by additive type of gene action. Both GCA and SCA variances were found significant only in days to pollen shedding and ear height indicated the presence of additive as well as non additive gene effects for controlling the traits. However, relative magnitude of these variances indicated that additive gene effects were more prominent for all the characters studied except days to silking. Parent BIL95 was the best general combiner for both high yield and number of kernels/ear and parent BML4 for dwarf plant type. Two crosses (BML4× BML36 and BIL114× BIL31) exhibited significant and positive SCA effects for grain yield involved low × average and average × average general combining parents. The range of heterosis expressed by different crosses for grain yield and days to silking was from -65.83 to 21.26 percent and -17.85 to 8.22 percent, respectively.. The better performing three crosses (BIL114×BIL31, BIL138×BIL95 and BIL31×BIL95) can be utilized for developing high yielding hybrid varieties as well as for exploiting hybrid vigour.Bangladesh J.

Mustard (Brassica juncea) variety BARI Shorisha-11 was cultivated during September 2016 to March 2017 in Gazipur, Bangladesh to find out the population dynamics of aphid and its infestation level on mustard. The aphid Lipaphis erysimi (Homoptera: Aphididae) was abundant in the field and caused infestation. The population of aphid in the mustard field showed fluctuation and reached to the peak at 22 December which was 289 per plant. Inflorescence had significantly higher level of infestation compared to individual siliqua and leaf. The daily mean temperature had significant negative, light intensity had insignificant negative and relative humidity had insignificant positive correlation with the abundance of aphid. The multiple linear regression analysis showed that the weather parameters namely temperature, light intensity and relative humidity individually as well as combindly contributed on the abundance of aphid, but the temperature had greater effect than other factors.Bangladesh J.

The study was conducted at farmers’ field of Charfashion upazila in Bhola district under AEZ-18 during the Rabi season of 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 to find out suitable soil salinity management practice(s) for maximizing potato yield as well as farmers’ income. Two planting systems viz. raised bed and flat land, and four management systems with fertilizers and mulching were considered in a factorial experiment. The rate of increase in soil salinity in raised beds was significantly lower than that of flat land. On an average, raised bed planting produced 13.04% higher tuber yield than flat land planting. The combination of raised bed + recommended fertilizer (RF) with cowdung @ 5 t ha-1 as IPNS+ straw mulch (@ 3.5 t ha-1) produced the highest tuber yield in both the years (average 21.66 t ha-1) and it was 75.10% higher than flat planting system with no mulch. This treatment combination also provided the highest average gross margin (Tk. 115945 ha-1) and BCR (2.26). Besides, combination of raised bed + RF+25% K+ straw mulch provided average tuber yield (20.91 t ha-1), gross margin (Tk. 110969 ha-1) and BCR (2.25), which were very close to above treatment combination. The lowest average potato yield (12.51 t ha-1), gross margin (Tk. 39835 ha-1) and BCR (1.50) were obtained from combination of flat land planting + RF +no mulching. So, combination of raised bed + mulching+ RF along with IPNS basis cowdung @ 5 tha-1 or 25% extra K can help minimize soil salinity and produce significantly higher potato yield in the coastal areas.Bangladesh J.

As sufficient study not available in this subcontinent about correction of idiopathic kyphoscoliosis by axial translation technique, a group of patients of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) was selected to evaluate the outcome of rod rotation technique. The curve correction with more screw on the concave site was assessed, patient satisfaction and correction of cobb angle. Post operative radiological and functional outcome were assessed. Twenty consecutive patients (8 males, 12 females) with an age range from 10 to 24 years. Post operatively all were followed-up for 18 months. All patients were under went pedicle screw instrumentation through posterior approach. More screw inserted in the concave side. X-ray evaluation done by pre-operative and 1, 3, 6 ,12 and 18 months after surgery. Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) questionnaire was done for clinical evaluation. Radiological evaluation done by preoperative cobb angle was significantly reduced in postoperative period. The mean postoperative SRS scores were improved from 3.38 to 4.13. These results were statistically significant and so it may be concluded that the axial translation technique with more screw in the concave side is ideal technique with good postoperative outcome both clinically and radiologically.

Background: Among communicable and non-communicable diseases, neoplastic diseases are the 6th leading cause of death in Bangladesh. Hospital-based cancer registries in Bangladesh reveal more than 50% of subjects with neoplastic disease (cancer) are estimated to be within 30 to 65 years of age.Objective: To observe imaging findings in patient with rectal carcinoma in terms of no residual disease, post treatment fibrosis, residual disease, loco-regional recurrence and metastasis at surveillance by CT, MR scan.Methodology: CT and MRI scan was performed with standard protocol among 64 subjects (both males, females) over a period of one year at department of Radiology and Imaging, KYAMCH who came for follow up. The study subjects were referred from Department of Oncology of same institution.Result: Among total 64 patients majority were female (54.68%) and rest were male (45.32%) and mean age was 51.38 (± 22.86) years. Most (26.56%) of the patients were in 31-40 years age group. CT scan was performed in 81.25% and MRI in 31.25% patients. No recurrence was observed to surveillance imaging in 18.75% patients. Post treatment fibrosis were seen in 23.43% and locoregional recurrence in 20.31% subjects. Local extension (35.93%), lymphadenopathy (43.75%) and distant metastases (26.56%) were observed. Associated imaging findings other than tumour recurrence or extension were ischaemic colitis (10.93%), perforation (4.68%), rectovesical fistula (3.12%), rectouterine fistula (1.56%) and rectovaginal fistula (6.25%). Other than loco regional extension, distant metastases were observed in liver (14.06%), lung (10.94%), bone (6.25%) and brain (4.68%).Conclusion: This study reveals that during image analysis of patients with rectal carcinoma, radiologists should carefully distinguish post treatment fibrosis from local recurrence, check the locoregional areas, possible sites for metastasis and oncologist should request for screening of chest including lower part of neck at the time imaging of abdomen at follow up.KYAMC Journal Vol. 9, No.-3, October 2018, Page 104-109

Published: December 2018

In the paper, we tackle the least squares estimators of the Vasicek-type model driven by sub-fractional Brownian motion: d X t = ( μ + θ X t ) d t + d S t H , t ≥ 0 with X 0 = 0 , where S H is a sub-fractional Brownian motion whose Hurst index H is greater than 1 2 , and μ ∈ R , θ ∈ R + are two unknown parameters. Based on the so-called continuous observations, we suggest the least square estimators of μ and θ and discuss the consistency and asymptotic distributions of the two estimators.
Damage Identification Algorithm of Hinged Joints for Simply Supported Slab Bridges Based on Modified Hinge Plate Method and Artificial Bee Colony Algorithms

Published: December 2018

Hinge joint damage is a typical form of damage occurring in simply supported slab bridges, which can present adverse effects on the overall force distribution of the structure. However, damage identification methods of hinge joint damage are still limited. In this study, a damage identification algorithm for simply supported hinged-slab bridges based on the modified hinge plate method (MHPM) and artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithms was proposed by considering the effect of hinge damage conditions on the lateral load distribution (LLD) of structures. Firstly, MHPM was proposed and demonstrated, which is based on a traditional hinge plate method by introducing relative displacement as a damage factor to simulate hinge joint damage. The effectiveness of MHPM was verified through comparison with the finite element method (FEM). Secondly, damage identification was treated as the inverse problem of calculating the LLD in damage conditions of simply supported slab bridges. Four ABC algorithms were chosen to solve the problem due to its simple structure, ease of implementation, and robustness. Comparisons of convergence speed and identification accuracy with genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization were also conducted. Finally, hinged bridges composed of four and seven slabs were studied as numerical examples to account for the feasibility and correctness of the proposed method. The simulation results revealed that the proposed algorithm could identify the location and degree of damaged joints efficiently and precisely.
