A gold-bearing volcanogenic-exhalative horizon in the Archaean(?) Saqqaq supracrustal rocks, Nuussuaq, West Greenland
Authors: Garde Adam A. , Thomassen Bjørn , Tukiainen Tapani , Steenfelt Agnete
Published: May 2020

The Saqqaq supracrustal rocks in southern Nuussuaq, West Greenland, host stratiform gold mineralisation in a 3–4 m thick impure chert horizon of volcanogenic-exhalative origin; chip samples average c. 0.8 ppm Au (thickness 3.3 m) over a strike length of 8 km, including 1.1 ppm Au (thickness 3.7 m) over a strike length of 1.6 km. Silicate minerals in and adjacent to the mineralised horizon include chrome-bearing tourmaline, staurolite, fuchsite, and manganiferous garnet. The Saqqaq supracrustal rocks form an almost 30 km long, NW-striking and SW-dipping sequence, which is presumed to be of Archaean age and consists of amphibolite facies maﬁc and ultramaﬁc metavolcanic rocks, associated minor volcanogenic-exhalative horizons, and quartzo-feldspathic metasediments. The sequence is surrounded by Archaean(?) orthogneisses and intruded by an up to c. 100 m thick trondhjemitic sill, and appears to outline a large asymmetric, isoclinal fold (possibly of Archaean age) which was refolded in the lower Proterozoic

Published: May 2020

A study of the adaptation of the ant Cataglyphis bicolor in terms of feeding under insular conditions was conducted on the north-eastern coast of Algeria. For this, three pairs of stations (island-continent) were chosen. Analyzing fragments of prey species found in C. bicolor nests, the diet in each station pair was studied. The results obtained indicate that C. bicolor has an opportunistic diet characterised by insectivory. Indeed, more than 95% of the prey consumed in the six study stations were insects with a clear preference for other ants, with frequencies ranging from 52 to 87%. Among the latter, Messor barbarus, Camponotus sp., Camponotus laurenti, Pheidole pallidula and Tetramorium biskrense were the ants most predated by C. bicolor. The diversity of continental prey seemed greater than that of island environments. For the two Cap Sigli stations, the prey richness was 94 species for the continent against only 28 species for the island environment. For Boulimat, there were 27 prey species for the mainland and 20 prey species for the islet. Finally, for the Sahel region, C. bicolor was able to harvest 42 prey species on the mainland and 28 species on the island. The diversity of C. bicolor prey in the island environments seems to be a function of insect richness (prey availability) and floral richness.

Miscibility of polymers decides the applicability of the resulting blends and immiscible polymer blends can be made compatible with suitable compatibilizer. Miscibility of blends of guar gum (GG) and methyl cellulose (MC) in common solvent water were studied by refractive index, density, ultrasonic velocity, and dilute solution viscometry methods at 30°C and 40°C. Based on these measurements, it is found that the polymer blend of GG/MC is immiscible. The effect of compatibilization with 0.02 wt% maghemite nanoparticle was studied in aqueous solution and found that 10/90 GG/MC blend is miscible in the presence of maghemite. Solution cast technique was used to prepare thin films of GG/MC blend – maghemite composite and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) method.

Abstract : Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus disease is a disease with the greatest number of sufferers of all kinds of Diabetes Mellitus. Diabetes Mellitus disease can be prevented by modifying lifestyle. This study explores self-awareness of a group of high risk of Diabetes Mellitus. This case study uses descriptive qualitative research methods. Data were obtained by interviewing three participants who were at high risk and had family histories suffer from Diabetes Mellitus. The results of the interviews were analyzed using the Corbin and Strauss method where there were three stages of analysis, open coding, axial coding and selective coding. The results showed, a pattern that similar to all participants which is knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of Diabetes Mellitus that were not good in the community. The result reviewed using Johari Window theory. The lack of self-awareness of high risk Diabetes Mellitus community is because they are individuals who are in the  hidden area. This individuals are difficult to care, share, open or accept the opinions of others. They solve problems based on their own thoughts and desires, therefore only themselves know about their health problems.Keywords : Diabetes Mellitus type 2, High risk of Diabetes Mellitus,Self-Awareness,Risk Factors,Case Study Abstrak : Penyakit Diabetes Mellitus tipe 2 merupakan penyakit dengan jumlah penderita terbayak dari semua Diabetes Mellitus.

Authors: Candra Raden , Trifani Fika
Published: May 2020

Skoliosis adalah kelengkungan tulang belakang ke lateral yang melebihi 10 derajat. Tinjauan lapangan pada klinik dan rumah sakit di Indonesia menunjukan banyaknya kasus pasien Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) yang telah ditangani dengan penggunaan skoliosis brace. In-brace correction (IBR) merupakan cara menilai kualitas skoliosis brace secara cepat setelah brace dipasangkan kepada pasien dengan metode X-Ray dengan menggunakan brace. Akan tetapi, hasil IBR tersebut sering ditemukan berbeda dari satu pasien dengan yang lainnya sehingga dibutuhkan untuk mengetahui faktor yang dapat menyebabkan perbedaan tersebut. Oleh karena itu, tujuan pada penelitian ini adalah untuk menilai apakah terdapat hubungan antara tipe kurva dan besaran kurva terhadap IBR pada pasien AIS. Analisis retrospective sebanyak 120 data sekunder telah digunakan dalam penelitian ini melalui rekam medis pasien yang menggunakan scoliosis brace dari tahun 2016 - 2018. Data yang diambil berupa Cobb angle tanpa menggunakan brace, In-Brace Cobb angle, dan tipe kurva skoliosis. Rata-rata IBR adalah 56,0% pada besaran kurva ringan (20°-29°), 37,2% pada besaran kurva sedang (30° - 40°), 36,7% pada besaran kurva parah (>40°). Sedangkan, rata-rata IBR tertinggi adalah pada tipe kurva ganda dimana lumbar > thoraks yaitu sebesar 50,3%, lalu disusul dengan kurva tunggal thoraks dan kurva ganda thoraks > lumbar sebesar 40,3% dan 39,1% secara berurutan. terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan IBR bedasarkan Besaran Kurva dan Tipe Kurva pada pasien adolescent idiopatik skoliosis dengan p value 0,000 dan 0,029 secara berurutan. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa tipe dan besaran kurva scoliosis merupakan faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi hasil IBR secara signifikan
A Low-Cost Multiple Complementary Split-Ring Resonator Based Microwave Sensor for Contactless Dielectric Characterization of Liquids
Authors: Javed Ahmed , Arif Ali , Zubair Muhammad , Mehmood Muhammad Qasim , Riaz Kashif
Published: May 2020

We propose a low-cost, easy-to-fabricate, contactless microwave sensor for dielectric characterization of liquids. The design of the proposed sensor is based on a multiple complementary split-ring resonator (MCSRR) fabricated on a low-cost FR-4 substrate. A glass capillary tube having an inner diameter of 0.008λ0 is inserted in the high electric field region of the MCSRR to carry the liquid under test. The sensor is designed to operate at a resonant frequency of 2.45GHz for an empty tube and shifted resonant peaks are utilized for the dielectric characterization of different liquids. The maximum observed shifts in resonant frequency and Q factor are up to 400MHz and 31, respectively. The numerically established relations are experimentally verified through fabricated sensor for various binary mixtures of water and ethanol. The percentage errors between the calculated and reference permittivity of different samples are noticed to be less than 5%. The proposed device promises to be a cost-effective and convenient solution for accurate dielectric characterization of liquids and their binary aqueous solutions.
A Flow-Based Deep Latent Variable Model for Speech Spectrogram Modeling and Enhancement
Authors: Nugraha Aditya Arie , Sekiguchi Kouhei , Yoshii Kazuyoshi
Published: May 2020

This paper describes a deep latent variable model of speech power spectrograms and its application to semi-supervised speech enhancement with a deep speech prior. By integrating two major deep generative models, a variational autoencoder (VAE) and a normalizing flow (NF), in a mutually-beneficial manner, we formulate a flexible latent variable model called the NF-VAE that can extract low-dimensional latent representations from high-dimensional observations, akin to the VAE, and does not need to explicitly represent the distribution of the observations, akin to the NF. In this paper, we consider a variant of NF called the generative flow (GF a.k.a. Glow) and formulate a latent variable model called the GF-VAE. We experimentally show that the proposed GF-VAE is better than the standard VAE at capturing fine-structured harmonics of speech spectrograms, especially in the high-frequency range. A similar finding is also obtained when the GF-VAE and the VAE are used to generate speech spectrograms from latent variables randomly sampled from the standard Gaussian distribution. Lastly, when these models are used as speech priors for statistical multichannel speech enhancement, the GF-VAE outperforms the VAE and the GF.

Resolving ALJ Removal Protections Problem Following Lucia
Authors: Davenport Spencer
Published: May 2020

When the Supreme Court decided Lucia v. SEC and held that administrative law judges (ALJs) are Officers under the Constitution, the Court opened a flood of constitutional issues around the status of ALJs and related government positions. One central issue relates to ALJs’ removal protections. ALJs currently have two layers of protection between them and the President. In an earlier Supreme Court decision, the Court held that two layers of tenure protection between an “Officer of the United States” and the President was unconstitutional as it deprived the President the power to hold his officers accountable. As impartial adjudicators, ALJs need those layers of protection to ensure fair adjudicative hearings. Lucia now threatens ALJ protections. This Note argues that implementing a peremptory challenge system which would allow each party in an adjudicative hearing to remove the ALJ from hearing its case would create an avenue in which the Court could justify the removal issue. Such a proposal would fix executive oversight concerns about the President being unable to properly implement his policy. Additionally, peremptory challenges would allow litigants in front of an agency be able to remove ALJs they feel are predisposed to the agency. By addressing both constitutional issues, the Court may be more likely to find that the two layers of tenure protection in place are permissible for those in adjudicatory positions.
Identification of candidate genes involved in the response to different abiotic stresses in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)
Authors: J. I. Ruiz de Galarreta, E. Ritter L. Barandalla, A. Álvarez,
Published: May 2020

Plants growing in natural habitats are exposed to multiple environmental stresses resulting from abiotic factors such as heat, drought, and cold, which have a significant impact on cultivated potato. We have evaluated in two Solanum tuberosum varieties, Soprano and Kondor, the adaptation to different abiotic stresses as heat, cold, and drought. For this purpose plants of both varieties were stressed, and when they showed symptoms, RNA extraction was carried out and a cDNA library for each sample was constructed. The objective of this study was to detect and analyse the genes involved in the responses to abiotic stresses in potato. The assay generated transcriptome sequences from both varieties, and a total of 5.579.655 reads and 8420 putative candidate genes were generated. 4.027 of the candidate genes were polymorphic and presented a different number of patterns defined by a varying number of SNPs. Many of the generated candidate genes showed differential expression, since the candidate gene was present in the stressed plant, but not in the control plant. The application of this methodology allows us to detect numerous candidate genes or specific alleles/allele combinations, which are differentially expressed in specific samples after the application of different abiotic stresses. This will be useful to identify superior alleles which can be used in Marker Assisted Selection for resistance and tolerance to abiotic stresses.

Rescue Management of a Failed Project: An empirical case study of the Subordinate Expertise Empowerment (SEE) model
Authors: Stone Brian , Perrenoud Anthony , Sullivan Kenneth
Published: May 2020

This paper introduces a management model applied to rescue a failed digital documenting services contract involving a large multinational vendor, referred to as Vendor A (VA), a large universitiy in the United States, referred to as X University (XU). The author’s objective is to tests the theory, in a case study setting, that a failed contract could be measurably salvaged through the real-time observed application of a rescue effort which emphasizes a Subordinate-Expert Empowerment (SEE) model in project rescue from its post-failure status. As a part of the literature review, an overview of project failure and varying rescue methodologies is given with an assessment of backgrounds, environments and strengths and weaknesses. Results of the study indicate the model’s ability to address the difficult issues of complex contracts by placing subordinate expertise at the forefront of dilemmas to grapple with the intricacies involved in escalated scenarios. Support of the model’s effectiveness was verified with a component listing of the resurrected project elements coupled with the survey results of all key individuals of the rescue process.
Best Value Case Study for Cold Storage Facility in Miami, Florida
Authors: Gajjar Dhaval , Kashiwagi Dean , Kashiwagi Jacob , Sullivan Kenneth
Published: May 2020

A cold storage facility had been reroofed in 2003 (investment of $600,000) that required the removal of existing insulated roof and replaced with a 20 year modified bitumen roof. After six years, the facility posed a safety hazard due to the ice formations inside the cold storage facility. The source of the problem was not known. The traditional process of using a professional designer, a certified contractor, receiving a manufacturer’s warranty, and having the roof inspected by the local government inspector could not assist the owner and the FM resolve the complex problem. The facility manager (FM) decided to utilize a non-traditional Best Value (BV) Performance Information Procurement System (PIPS) to identify and resolve the problem. The main difference of the system is that the best value vendor and not the owner determines the final scope. This paper documents the BV PIPS approach and the resulting performance. An inspection five years later verified the performance of the Best Value approach and showed the value of the installed sprayed polyurethane (SPF) roofing system.

Prescripción de ejercicio terapéutico en Fisioterapia. Las bases elementales de la identidad profesional.
Authors: La Touche Roy
Published: May 2020

Históricamente la concepción profesional de la fisioterapia se asienta a través de la utilización de la terapia manual y ejercicio como medios terapéuticos principales para recuperar a pacientes con diversos trastornos (Hansson & Ottosson, 2015; Shaik & Maniyat Shemjaz, 2014). Los términos movimiento y ejercicio están directamente relacionados con la génesis y evolución de la fisioterapia. Algunos autores sugieren que la construcción central del cuerpo del conocimiento de la fisioterapia es el sistema de movimiento humano (Coffin-Zadai, 2007; Sahrmann, 2014; Voight & Hoogenboom, 2017), este sistema se define como “la integración de sistemas corporales que generan y mantienen el movimiento en todos los niveles de la función corporal y está influenciado por factores sociales, ambientales y personales”(American Physical Therapy Association, 2015).

Participantes: Individuos sanos de edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 35 años, sin conocimientos fisiológicos del dolor. Se dividieron en dos grupos: hombres (n=35) y mujeres (n=44). Variables: Las variables psicológicas fueron la autopercepción de sensibilidad, la resistencia y la expresión del dolor (Gender Role Expectation of Pain), catastrofismo (Pain Catastrophizing Scale), autoeficacia (Chronic Pain Self-Efficacy Scale). La Variable física fue la medición del umbral de sensibilidad a la presión con el algómetro. Resultados: Los resultados mostraron un menor umbral de sensibilidad a la presión en mujeres que además se correlacionaba con menores puntuaciones en autoeficacia. No se observaron diferencias en autopercepción de sensibilidad, resistencia y disposición a informar del dolor ni en los niveles de catastrofismo entre ambos sexos.  Conclusión: Debido a la cantidad de variables que pueden influir en la percepción de dolor entre hombres y mujeres, se necesitan futuros estudios que sigan con esta línea de investigación.

These hermaphro­dites differed in size, possessed varying number of fully developed anthers that contained pollen with 46.4 ‑84.1% fertility. knong the big hermaphrodites, their distinct characteristics are partly exposed ovary at inflorescence opening and earlier stigmatic receptivity compared with the normal buttons.
IDENTIFICATION OF COLLETOTRICHUM GLOEOSPORIOIDES, EXSEROHILUM ROSTRATUM AND GLIOCLADIUM VERMOESENI ASSOCIATED WITH LEAF ROT DISEASE OF COCONUT IN INDIA
Authors: N. Srinivasan  , M. Gunasakeran
Published: May 2020

Leaf rot is a common disease predominantly superimposed on root (wilt) affected coconut palms in India. Three fungi implicated in the disease have been found to be Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Exserohilum Yostratum and Gliocladium vermoeseni. The cultural characters and morphological features of these fungi have been deBcribed. The pathogenic role of these fungi has been confirmed. The three fungi independently induced symptoms leading to leaf rot. E. rostratum developed the disease symptom relatively faster. Pin prick injury in leaf pieces generally favoured the fungi in infection and had pronounced effect for G. vermoeseni.
A REVIEW OF COCONUT RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Hugh C. Harries
Published: May 2020

By looking at the titles of articles published in CORD since it began, in 1985, it should be possible to assess what areas of coconut research and development are important. This is so, because CORD is intended for a select group of readers - those who know about coconuts. The writers of articles for CORD, unlike authors of articles in specialist scientific or economic journals, do not have to compete for space with reports on the cutting-edge of science or with predictions about world-market economic forces. Which is a pity, because if they did it would mean that coconut was back in the position of the world's leading source of vegetable oil that it held for half a century. There are other technical and scientific journals, as well as national language publications, to which coconut R&D specialist can, and do, submit articles, but CORD is the one location where both the writer and the reader should be on the same wavelength.

Authors: R. A. Juson
Published: May 2020

Kiln dried coconut lumber with 16 percent average moisture content were subjected to five common wood working processes composed of planing, boring, shaping, turning and sanding. Tungsten carbide cutters were used in each process except in sanding where silicon no. 60 sandpaper was employed. The coconut lumber measuring 25 mm thick by 125 mm wide by 1.25 m long have density range of  200 to 900 kg. per cubic meter.
A POLICY PERSPECTIVE ON COCONUT PROCESSING IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC ISLANDS
Authors: Dan M. Etherington
Published: May 2020

For many island nations of the South Pacific the coconut palm is the most important smallholder tree crop. Most attempts to introduce processing; beyond the copra stage have failed. At the same time there is a declining trend in copra prices. Unlike most other major coconut producing countries (Philippines, India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Thailand), the South Pacific nations do not have significant expanding domestic urban markets. As a result they must look to alternative export markets and direct output to higher income, non‑traditional market niches.

 

This paper, part of an on‑going research project, presents arguments in favour of an export ‘demand‑pull’ strategy for the coconut industry based on a re‑examination of the coconut as a total resource rather than only as a source of a raw vegetable oil. The effective use of this resource requires that the fruit be proces­sed as a mature fresh nut and that all parts of the nut are used. The strategy implies a switch in research priorities, away from plant breeding and disease control towards processing, domestic and in­ternational shipping, energy policies and market development. Im­proved markets would in turn give renewed impetus to the conti­nuation of the excellent plant breeding work that has already been done.
DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF COCONUT PALM (Cocos nucifera L.) ROOF SHINGLES
Authors: A.R. Floresca  , F.R. Siriban  , A.P. Gesmundo
Published: May 2020

Tapered roof shingles from coconut wood were fabricated and treated separately with four preservatives, namely: copper‑chromearsenate, pentachlorophenol, copper sulfate and copper sulfate + potassium dichromate. Untreated and treated shingles were installed side in roof framed structures and exposed outdoor in the FPRDI "graveyard" area for weather and durability tests.

 

Fabrication, treatment and installation costs of shingles were evaluated. Performance ratings on the different degradations such as splitting/checking and twisting of shingles, retention of original colour/appearance, and protection from weathering and fungal infection in relation to thickness, nailing patterns and treatments of coconut wood roof shingles after 11 months of weather exposure tests were evaluated and statistically analysed.

 

Cost comparison between coconut wood roof shingles and G.I. corrugated sheet gauge #26 are also presented in this report.
PRODUCTION OF COCONUT OIIL DIRECTLY FROM FRESH COCONUT MEAT USING THE WASTE HEAT RECOVERY TECHNOLOGY: A "NEW OIL PROCESS"
Authors: G. R. Breag  , P. Drew  , P. G. Joseph
Published: May 2020

In several, areas, in Sri Lanka the use of pits for making coconut shell charcoal is restricted or not permitted due to environmental damage or the proximity of human habitation. In addition approxima­tely 50% of the gross heat content of the shells is lost to the surroundings during the process. In view of the above, the Natural Resources Institute developed a coconut shell carbonization unit with waste heat recovery, which virtually eliminates the smoke problem and simultaneously enables the heat generated during the process‑heat normally lost to the surroundings to be used as process heat in the coconut industry. This technology has been commercialized in Sri Lanka and details of the standard capacity (1.5 tonnes shell) unit and its performance are provided. The findings of preliminary trials carried out on the application of the waste heat recovery technology in the production of coconut oil from freshly decorticated macerated coconut meat ‑ by­passing copra production‑are also discussed. The technical and financial aspects of the application of the technology for coconut oil manufacture using the "new oil process" in Sri Lanka are briefly covered and consideration for its adoption in other coconut growing countries is recommended.

Authors: R.Z. MARGATE  , M.I. SECRETARIA  , S.S. MAGAT  , L.M. ALFORJA
Published: May 2020

A Lotus 123‑based system computer program was developed for fertilizer recommendation of local tall verieties and Dwarf x Tall hybrid coconuts using foliar analysis results. The computer program which is coded as PCA‑FERT. PRG. Version 1.0 utilized the average fertilizer recommendation formulated by Philippine Coconut Authority based on the Authority's 20 years; of research experience on the nutrition and fertilization of coconut in the country.

 

As a first attempt towards the computerization of research outputs on coconut nutrition and fertilization, the program, should facilitate the faster assessment of existing coconut stands in terms of its nutritional status and fertilizer needs. The effective utilization of this program coupled with the researcher's knowledge and expertise on the use of foliar analysis results. will contribute much to the formulation of an accurate and reliable fertilizer recommendation.
THREE IMPROVED METHODS FOR COCONUT OIL EXTRACTION
Authors: Suhardiyono  , Y.B. Che Man  , B.A. Asbi  , M.N. Azudin
Published: May 2020

Three methods for coconut oil extration using acetic acid, baker's yeast, and mixed enzymes were investigated. Coconut milk was allowed to settle for two hours; for cream separation. When the cream reacted with 25 % acetic acid at 0.l % ‑ 0.4 % levels or baker's yeast at 0.5 ‑ 2 g levels for 10 ‑ 14 hours, the oil was separated into two phases; the upper phase containing coconut oil‑rich fraction and the lower phase consisting of water. The oil phase was finally boiled for 20 minutes to remove moisture. The other extraction method was based on the combined action of cellulase, a ‑amylase, protease, and poly‑galacturonase at 0.1 % to 1 % on grated coconut meat at pH 4 to 8, 400C to 600C for 30 minutes. Oil recovely, moisture content, FFA, peroxide value, saponification value, anisidine value, iodine value and colour of the oil were studied. Up to 60 % recovery of high quality oil was obtained by acetic acid or baker's yeast treatment whilst that of mixed enzymes treatment was 73 %. These three alternatives wet processing showed significant improvement as compared to the traditional process.
Le pouvoir sans l’incarnation. L’empire de la domination impersonnelle
Authors: Eraly Alain
Published: May 2020

Paru en 1979, l’ouvrage de Pagès, Bonetti, Gaulejac et Descendre L’emprise de l’organisation fournit l’occasion de réfléchir à l’évolution des organisations au cours de ces dernières décennies. Ce recul historique nous permet de distinguer, d’une part, les tendances qui n’ont cessé de s’amplifier au fil des dernières décennies : la prédominance des contrôles financiers, l’emprise des règles formelles, l’autonomie contrôlée, le gouvernement à distance, le pouvoir de l’abstraction, la dépersonnalisation des relations de pouvoir et l’affaiblissement corrélatif de l’autorité ; d’autre part, celles qui se sont fortement affaiblies : l’identification organisationnelle, l’attachement communautaire, l’identité collective, les dimensions idéologiques d’église et de credo managérial.
Le syndicat de communes comme objet de savoirs. Trois expertises pour réformer une institution « périphérique » (1892-1975)
Authors: Guéranger David
Published: May 2020

L’article étudie les syndicats de communes non pas sous l’angle de l’autonomie communale et de la résistance aux nombreuses tentatives de réformes de l’État, mais en le considérant comme objet de savoirs. En s’appuyant sur l’inventaire et le classement des travaux d’experts qui lui sont consacrés, l’article met à jour trois types d’expertises sur ces institutions qui sont aussi trois manières différentes d’envisager la réforme des institutions locales.
