Twobandad Japanese Weevil, Pseudocneorhinus bifasciatus Roelofs (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Authors: Gyeltshen Jamba , Hodges Amanda
Published: September 2021

The twobanded Japanese weevil, Pseudocneorhinus bifasciatus (Roelofs), first collected in the United States in 1914 near Philadelphia, was most likely introduced with infested nursery stock from Japan (Wheeler and Boyd 2005). With a host range of over 100 plant species, the twobanded Japanese weevil is recognized in the northeastern and midwestern United States as an important pest of landscape plantings (Wheeler and Boyd 2005). Although not a pest of major concern yet in the southeastern states, it is likely to extend its range due to movement of nursery stock. In July 2005, two specimens of the twobanded Japanese weevil were collected at Chipley, Florida, which is in Washington county (Thomas 2005).

Con pocas excepciones, los cocodrílidos deben ser contados y capturados para estudiar su ecología. La mayoría de los métodos utilizados hoy en día para encontrar y capturar cocodrílidos son modificaciones de los métodos utilizados para su caza (Chabreck 1963; Jones 1966). Estos métodos han sido modificados según la especie en estudio o según las condiciones de su hábitat específico, así como para minimizar el riesgo de daño que puede ser causado tanto a los cocodrilos como al investigador (Webb y Messel 1977; Hutton et al. 1987; Walsh 1987; McDaniel y Hord 1990). Cualquier situación con demandas especiales, requerirá de innovaciones en los métodos utilizados.

The most fundamental of unsaturated soil is matric suction parameter. Matric suction in unsaturated soils plays an important role in controlling physical and mechanical properties. This parameter can influence some other important parameters of soil, such as effective stress, shear strength, swelling pressure, etc. Investigation of matric suction was performed on Ayer Hitam soil, at Batu Pahat District, Johor, Malaysia. Field monitoring works were conducted with and without dolomite treatment at the slopes of Ayer Hitam acidic soil. Field testing used some devices to find out the behavior of matric suction during the rainy session. The result shows that the soil matric suction with dolomite treatment is larger than without treatment and matric suction has a significant difference around 20 – 50 kPa. Enhancement of acidity from the dolomite treatment was not only decreasing pores size caused by the alternating of the microstructure of soil but also leading to increasing the matric suction. The treatment of dolomite material is able to control matric suction and increase the stability of slope acidic Ayer Hitam soil.

Published: September 2021

The development of information technology and computer network from time to time is increasing along with the increase in user needs for both from the business, education, industrial, to data security side. Data of network traffic that is getting denser in communication and data exchange between users on computer networks can become a problem when using conventional computer network technology. For that, it needs a new technology that is implemented in computer networks, along with the measurement of Quality of Service (QoS) in it. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a solution for this, where the stages of network design, management and implementation, separate the data plane and the control plane. In this research, the implementation of SDN was carried out in the form of a simulation using both of Mininet and OpenDaylight with a Tree Topology, then the QoS measurements were carried out in it. The results of testing and measuring QoS on SDN simulations with Tree topology using Mininet and OpenDaylight, showed a Jitter value of 0.425 ms, a Packet Loss value of 0.266%, a Bandwith value of 9.3925 Mbps, a UDP Throughput value of 2.348 bits/sec, and a TCPThroughput value of 2.335 bits/sec.

Klasis GKI Sentani is part of the GKI Denomination which regulates churches in the Jayapura (Sentani) Regency area. One of the tasks of the Klasis is the monitoring and evaluation of the Setoran Wajib Jemaat (SWJ). Each Church is required to collect offerings cumulatively each month. The obstacle faced in financial management in the Klasis Sentani environment is the budget processing system which is manual, where donations are deposited to Klasis by attaching proof of deposit. this makes the process of collecting donations an inefficient routine. Including the documentation process that looks not up-to-date and the difficulty in publishing the results to the congregation at Klasis Sentani. This study aims to facilitate the reporting of mandatory deposits for the classic GKI Sentani congregation, namely by creating an information system for the congregation's mandatory deposit. The development of the software system uses the Waterfall method, with the Unified Modeling Language as the system modeling language. This system has been implemented and makes it easier to manage finances for the church treasurer and classics. Financial information can also be viewed transparently on the page provided and can be accessed by the congregation.
