Effects of Regeneration Procedures on the Performance of Reverse-Cycle Ion Exchange in the Purification of Sugarcane Juices
Authors: Smith B. A. , Sánchez-Nieva F. , González M. A. , Matos-Maldonado M.
Published: October 2020

Investigations of the chemical requirements for regeneration of the first-anion and the cation-exchanger beds of the reverse-cycle system were undertaken in these studies, but no attempt was made to establish the requirements for the second-anion exchanger bed. A large dosage of NaOH to provide superior exchanger capacity was used for the highly basic anion resin in first position, and by recycling usable portions of the waste regenerant in a subsequent test, an average of 114 percent of the stoichiometric quantity of NaOH was consumed per test. No change in performance of the exchanger system was detected following adoption of such a regenerant recycling procedure. Efforts to obtain satisfactory regeneration of the weakly acid cation exchanger with H2SO4 were discouraging. The quantity of material which could be processed per test was less, the percentage removals of ash and protein were less, and the ash-percent-dry solids remaining in the product juices was 79-percent greater than when HCl was employed as regenerant. Juice purities following ion-exchange processing were found to have increased by approximately one-half as much with H2SO4  regeneration as with HC1. Examination of the product juices revealed that their potassiumion contents were much greater during H2SO4  regeneration tests than while HC1 was used. Apparently the large quantities of calcium and magnesium ions found in cane juices were not efficiently regenerated from the exchanger resin by H2SO4 , and that part which remained in the resin during subsequent juice deionization increased the leakage of potassium ions into the product juices. Although HC1 was much more expensive than H2SO4, the recycling of excess regenerant to reduce the quantity consumed to approximately 105 percent of the necessary stoichiometric requirement would make the use of this more costly acid economically attractive. Information was obtained in these tests which showed the importance of efficient backwashing of the highly basic first anion bed in order to eliminate significant quantities of Mg(OH)2, and organic materials precipitated on the resin particles during passage of juices through the bed. The effective backwashing obtained in the semipilot-plant column was not always attained in the smaller laboratory column and some insoluble materials remained following backwashing and regeneration.

Effects of Irrigation and Nitrogen Levels on the Yields of Guinea Grass, Para Grass, and Guinea Grass-Kudzu and Para Grass-Kudzu Mixtures in Lajas Valley
Authors: Vázquez Roberto
Published: October 2020

A field experiment was conducted at Lajas Substation in order to study the effects of three irrigation and three nitrogen levels on dry-matter yields of Para grass, Guinea grass, and the mixtures of these grasses with tropical kudzu. Some plots were frequently irrigated when the average soil-moisture suction in the active root-zone reached 0.7 atm. and intermediately irrigated when the average soil-moisture suction in the active root-zone reached 2.0 atm. Nonirrigated plots were used as a check. The nitrogen levels tested were 0, 400, and 800 pounds of nitrogen per acre per year.

En la Subestación Experimental Agrícola de Lajas se llevó a cabo un experimento con 80 cerdos de la línea 3/4 Duroc x 1/4 English Large Black Landrace para estudiar el efecto del peso de los animales, al tiempo de sacrificarse, sobre la calidad de los canales y sobre la eficiencia de la conversión del alimento a carne. Los cerdos bajo estudio se asignaron, al azar, a uno de los cuatro grupos que representaban los cuatro diferentes pesos a que se sacrificaron los animales, a saber: 125, 150, 175 y 200 libras de peso vivo. El experimento demostró que según aumentaba el peso a que se sacrificaban los animales, disminuía significativamente el porcentaje de los cuatro cortes principales, del de jamón y de la pata delantera (picnic), a base del canal enfriado durante 24 horas. También, según los cerdos aumentaron de peso, su eficiencia en la conversión del alimento a carne fue significativamente inferior. La cantidad de grasa en los canales aumentó significativamente, según subió el peso a que se sacrificaron los cerdos.

Durante 6 años consecutivos se llevaron a cabo tres experimentos grandes de campo para comparar el comportamiento de arbustos de café injertados y sin injertar. Los datos obtenidos y las observaciones hechas, en cuanto a la incompatibilidad del patrón y el injerto, la incidencia de la enfermedad que pudre la raíz, las características del crecimiento de los arbustos, el rendimiento y los caracteres del grano, indicaron que de los seis patrones probados y comparados, el patrón de Excelsa parece ser el mejor para injertar las variedades Puerto Rico y Bourbón. En un experimento repetido en el cual se hicieron cuatro cosechas, los arbustos que se originaron de injertos de la variedad Bourbón en patrones de Excelsa, produjeron anualmente 31 .98 por ciento más de café mercadeable que los arbustos de la variedad Bourbón sin injertar. Esta diferencia no logró llegar al nivel del 5 por ciento de significación.

A plantas de caña de azúcar cultivadas en arena se les suministró Diuron, que es un yerbicida de un derivado de urea, en tratamientos combinados con niveles variables de nitrato. Mediante la técnica para cultivos en arena, se aplicó el Diuron a razón de 0, 0.05 y 0.50 partes por millón, y el nitrato a razón de 1.4, 4.5 y 13.5 miliequivalentes por litro. Los objetivos eran tres: 1, Confirmar la teoría de que el Diuron es capaz de retardar la producción de sacarosa; 2, que el Diuron, más bien que los factores del suelo, influye directamente sobre las enzimas relacionadas con el nivel de azúcar; y 3, estudiar la permanencia de las relaciones entre el Diuron, el azúcar y las enzimas bajo los distintos niveles de nitrógeno. El Diuron no afectó el crecimiento de las plantas, pero éste sí fue afectado marcadamente al aplicarseles entre 1.5 y 4.5 meq/l. de nitrato. Los análisis foliares revelaron, en promedio, un contenido de aproximadamente 2.5 y 14 microgramos de Diuron por gramo de tejido, cuando recibieron los tratamientos mediano y alto de Diuron, respectivamente. Las variaciones en los niveles de nitrato no afectaron el contenido de Diuron. Los dos efectos principales del Diuron fueron una disminución en el contenido de sacarosa en la hoja y un aumento en el de fructosa. Sin embargo, al nivel intermedio de nitrato, la aplicación de 0.05 partes por millón de Diuron produjo un aumento de la sacarosa. Tanto el Diuron como el nitrato, redujeron la sacarosa en el meristemo. Así quedó demostrado que el Diuron es capaz de reducir la sacarosa y que la acción del Diuron depende del nivel de nitrógeno. El Diuron activó la fosfatasa y la peroxidasa, confirmando así las observaciones que se hicieron previamente con muestras de plantas de caña de de retoño procedente de suelos tratados con Diuron. La amilasa aumentó moderadamente con la aplicación de Diuron. En la amilasa del meristemo se observó una marcada interacción entre el Diuron y el nitrógeno. La oxidasa de polifenol se estimuló notablemente al disminuir el nitrato, independientemente de la concentración del Diuron.

En plantas de caña de azúcar cultivadas en arena se produjeron gradualmente deficiencias de nitrógeno, fósforo, potasio y calcio. Los objetivos eran tres: 1, Determinar si mediante un régimen de nutrición limitado puede inducirse una mayor producción de sacarosa; 2, determinar si es posible inclucir estos aumentos de sacarosa sin alcanzar niveles de deficiencia nutrimental que reduzcan el tonelaje; y 3, investigar si el aumento en la producción de sacarosa se debe a los patrones corrientes de acción de las enzimas hidrolíticas y oxidantes. Las plantas recibieron todos los elementos nutritivos en concentraciones moderadamente altas durante las primeras 14 semanas de crecimiento. De ahí en adelante, y a intervalos de 2 semanas, se redujeron gradualmente las concentraciones de los distintos elementos nutritivos, mientras que las plantas testigos siguieron recibiendo los niveles originales. Todas las plantas sometidas al régimen de nutrición limitado acumularon más sacarosa en las hojas que las plantas testigos, independientemente del elemento nutritivo que se redujo. En cada caso, los aumentos de sacarosa se obtuvieron antes de que se alcanzara un nivel de deficiencia de los elementos nutritivos. Por tanto, parece ser que un régimen de nutrición limitado, generalmente induce variaciones en el nivel de azúcar, siendo el factor responsable, más bien, el desbalance de los elementos nutritivos que la deficiencia en sí. Todas las plantas afectadas por el régimen de nutrición limitado revelaron una disminución de la amilasa, a medida que la sacarosa aumentó. La peroxidasa se estimuló grandemente bajo todos los tratamientos. La fosfatasa disminuyó al reducirse el nitrato y el fósforo, pero en general no se afectó con los tratamientos de potasio y calcio. Los datos obtenidos acerca de las enzimas demuestran que son varios los mecanismos que inducen a un aumento en la formación de la sacarosa. Se discute el hecho de que la amilasa responde a los cambios en el nivel de los elementos nutritivos, desde el punto de vista de que pueda servir como señal de que se está llegando a un nivel de deficiencia.

Ending Conflicts Over Water: Solutions to Water and Security Challenges
Authors: Gleick Peter , Iceland Charles , Trivedi Ayushi
Published: October 2020

This report explores some of the thorniest water crises taking place across the developing world. In southern Iraq, severe water quality problems have triggered social unrest and violent protests. Recent droughts in India have prompted an exodus of farmers from the countryside in Maharashtra and dried up the reservoirs serving the city of Chennai. Across the African Sahel, there are violent conflicts between farmers and pastoralists over water and productive land resources. In Yemen, urban water systems have been targets of persistent attacks during the ongoing conflict in the country. Drawing on the report’s six in-depth case studies — from Iraq, Iran, India, the African Sahel, Central America and Yemen — as well as other recent research, the authors identify strategies to reduce water-related security risks. These solutions are organized into four broad categories: natural resources, science and engineering approaches; political and legal tools; economic and financial tools; and policy and governance strategies. The framework presented in this report provides decision-makers with options for tailoring solution sets to unique water challenges. It is intended for global development, diplomacy, defense and disaster response experts, as well as for national- and river basin-level decision-makers charged with addressing natural resource–based conflict, migration and other forms of insecurity. This report is research for action. It provides the evidence, examples and solution-oriented analysis that decision-makers need to avert water crises around the world. As the costs of inaction rise, policymakers should work to overcome barriers to implementation by increasing political will and recognizing the benefits of improved water resources management, drought response, flood prevention and access to safe, reliable and affordable water for all.
Mainstreaming Climate Change Adaptation in Kenya: Lessons from Makueni and Wajir Counties
Authors: Chaudhury Moushumi , Summerlin Tonya , Ginoya Namrata
Published: October 2020

Intensifying climate change impacts, such as more frequent, prolonged droughts, threaten to unravel the progress that Kenya has made advancing its sustainable development agenda and to stymie future gains. Like many policymakers around the world, Kenyan officials recognize that mainstreaming adaptation into their development plans and policies across all sectors can improve the resilience of development outcomes, maximize the efficiency of limited resources and help decision-makers avoid maladaptive investments. At the national level, Kenya has made considerable progress in building resilience through its National Adaptation Plan, and the government is now supporting local efforts to mainstream adaptation into County Integrated Development Plans (CIPDs) by establishing County Climate Change Funds (CCCFs). These innovative institutions provide the financial and technical assistance that county officials need to propose, prioritize and implement climate resilience actions. Analyzing progress made mainstreaming adaptation into five counties’ CIPDs, this working paper identifies two local governments that have emerged as early leaders: Makueni and Wajir. It examines the challenges that all counties have faced, highlights factors that have enabled Makueni and Wajir to overcome these barriers faster than the others and recommends strategies that can support efforts to integrate resilience into CIPDs across Kenya’s 47 counties. More specifically, it assesses the extent to which the CCCFs have accelerated both planning and implementation of mainstreamed adaptation actions as well as evaluates preliminary indications that the newly created projects are beginning to build resilience. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to mainstreaming, this paper underscores the important role that access to finance, robust stakeholder engagement and capacity building can play in advancing the implementation of climate-resilient, sustainable development initiatives around the world.
Physical Performance and the Relationship to Game Performance in Elite Adolescent Ice Hockey
Authors: Williams Markus
Published: October 2020

Determining performance indicators within team sports is considerably important as it facilitates the underlying training methodologies of sports performance. The value of understanding individual contribution and the relevant physical factors is of importance when structuring appropriate strength and conditioning training. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse the relationships between physical performance and game performance, as well as examining the relationships of physical performance and game performance dependent on competition level. This research project was a case study conducted with a team’s game performance measured across a full season. Twelve elite adolescent male ice hockey players (17.92 ± 0.9 years, 185 ± 8.45 cm, 83.17 ± 8.61 kg) participated in the study after giving informed consent. Physical performance was measured using four tests (horizontal jump, single-leg lateral jump, 15-meter sprint, corner S test), while game performance was calculated through the statistical equation Point Shares. Statistical significance was set at p ≤ 0.05. Physical performance did not depict any strong indications of overall game performance. Instead, results illustrated an inverse relationship between plyometric performance and offensive point shares. However, on-ice agility may be a relevant indicator of game performance dependent on competition level for individuals and sub-groups. Thus, the findings suggest that explaining individual performance within team sports is a highly complex issue that needs further investigation.
An Event Based Study on the Name Change Effect on A-Share Quoted Firm Values
Authors: Xie Dejun , Yan Ziyue , Xu Yiyao , Weng Siyang , Zhang Chirui
Published: October 2020

Name change is not uncommon for businesses around the world. Previous
researches focusing on developed markets showed mixed results on the relationship
between equity valuation and corporate name changes. Such relationship poses a
more baffling question in emerging markets with rapid economic and technological
changes. Based on a sample of 150 companies which are quoted on Chinese AStock market and have changed the corporate name once between 2009 and 2019,
the study investigates the impact of name change on companies’ stock performance
in terms of abnormal returns. The results show that companies undergone name
changes experience abnormal return fluctuations around announcement dates.
Investors respond positively to name changes owing to merger and acquisition in
the short term, while name changes because of restructuring or reputation could
degrade firms’ market values. Name changes due to the change in business type
generate no significant stock price reaction. From valuation management
perspective, our findings indicate that name change serves more of a market signal
to investors rather than an optimal value addition strategy to listing companies.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Symptoms, Treatment, and Recent Medical Challenges to the World: A Review
Authors: Asif Muhammad
Published: October 2020

Coronavirus infections have emerged as epidemic and pandemic threats throughout the world. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has spread across 203 countries and territories in all 5 major continents. World Health Organization (WHO) declared this as a public health emergency of international concern on January 30, 2020. Subsequently, on February 11, 2020, a new name was given to this disease i.e. COVID-19 by an expert group from WHO. As of 3:37 pm CEST, 14 August 2020, there have been 20,730,456 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 751,154 deaths, reported to WHO. It possibly originated from a small animal market in Wuhan, China. A cluster of patients was admitted with unusual pneumonia not responding to treatment in various hospitals. Epidemiological, genomic analysis and correlation with other coronaviruses led to the isolation of new coronavirus, closely resembling the bat coronaviruses, from such patients in Wuhan. They were identified as the SARS-CoV-2. This virus infection presents an influenza-like illness in the affected people. Fever, cough, respiratory distress with fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting are common symptoms seen in adults. The transmissibility of SARS-CoV-1 was less as compared to SARS-CoV-2 infection, and it was well controlled with good public health efforts. The present COVID-19 epidemic is still in the acceleration phase of 3 and 4 in various countries. Without any effective antiviral agents available at present, the need of the hour is early case detection, isolation of cases, use of good preventive care measures by the household contacts and in the hospital setup. Here, we have placed the symptoms and treatment schemes for the COVID-19 from the practice of different research organizations of the World including WHO.

Kebudayaan itu adalah segala sesuatu yang diciptakan oleh budi manusia, kebudayaan adalah khas manusia, bukan ciptaan binatang ataupun tanaman yang tidak mempunyai akal budi. Binatang memang mempunyai tingkah laku tertentu menurut naluri pembawaannya yang berguna untuk memelihara kelangsungan hidupnya, akan tetapi binatang tidak mempunyai kebudayaan. Manusia (masyarakat) dan kebudayaan tidak bisa dipisahkan karena keduanya merupakan suatu jalinan yang saling erat berkait.

Kebudayaan tidak akan ada tanpa masyarakat (manusia) dan tidak ada satu kelompok manusiapun, betapa terasing dan bersahaja hidup mereka yang tidak mempunyai kebudayaan. Semua kelompok masyarakat (manusia) pasti memiliki kebudayaan karena manusia merupakan subyek budaya. Mempelajari unsur-unsur yang terdapat dalam sebuah kebudayaan sangat penting untuk memahami kebudayaan manusia, kebudayaan yang ditemukan pada semua bangsa di dunia dari sistem kebudayaan yang sederhana seperti masyarakat pedesaan hingga sistem kebudayaan yang kompleks seperti masyarakat perkotaan. Budaya akan lebih dipahami apabila sudah menjadi perbuatan dan karya, tidak sekedar menjadi pemahaman tetapi manfaat yang lebih besar bagi manusia.

Pola asuh orang tua sangat mempengaruhi setiap kepribadian yang telah terbentuk. Segala gaya atau model pengasuhan orang tua akan membentuk suatu kepribadian yang berbeda-beda sesuai apa yang telah diajarkan oleh orang tua. Orang tua merupakan lingkungan pertama bagi anak yang sangat berperan penting dalam setiap perkembangan anak khususnya perkembangan kepribadian anak. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan cara yang tepat untuk mengasuh anak sehingga terbentuklah suatu kepribadian anak yang diharapkan oleh orang tua sebagai harapan masa depan.

Dalam pengasuhan anak orang tua harus mamperhatikan tingkat perkembangan anak. Semua perilaku orang tua yang baik atau buruk akan ditiru oleh anak, oleh karena itu perlunya orang tua untuk menjaga setiap perilakunya sehingga anak akan meniru sikap positif dari orang tua. Pola asuh orang tua harus disesuaikan dengan situasi dan kondisi anak pada saat itu, ada kalanya orang tua bersikap demokratis, ada kalanya juga harus bersikap otoriter, ataupun bersikap permisif.

Perilaku seseorang biasanya diwarnai oleh hakikat tujuan yang ingin dicapai, meskipun yang bersangkutan tidak selalu sadar adanya kaitan antara perilaku dan tujuan tersebut. Perwujudan perilaku seseorang adalah tindakan-tindakan yang dilakukannya. Karena tujuan yang ingin dicapai seseorang atau organisasi beraneka ragam, maka tindakan-tindakan yang dilakukan pun beraneka ragam pula dan tidak mustahil bahwa seseorang atau organisasi melakukan melakukan beberapa tindakan sekaligus.

Perilaku adalah berkaitan dengan interaksi seseorang dengan orang lain atau seseorang yang lainnya. Perilaku disini menekankan adanya interaksi antara satu dengan yang lainnya. Interaksi tersebut saling menguntung dan memberikan makna tersendiri bagi seseorang atau organisasi. Seseorang yang selalu berinteaksi itulah yang menjadi salah satu indikator makhluk sosial.

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) have an important and strategic role in national economic development, UMKM in Serang City have the potential to drive the regional economy of UMKM into one of the economic pillars that drives the wheels of the economy in Indonesia. Based on data from the Serang City Industrial, Trade and Cooperatives Office, the total number in each district of the city and district of Serang reaches 10,132 UMKM, 499 MSMEs that have a small micro business license (UMK). This proves that the awareness of MSME entrepreneurs on the importance of a business permit, the importance of a brand in a product is still minimal. On this basis, we make a program called law weekend, which is a legal approach to the public or business people so that they can understand the importance of copyright, the importance of brands and contribute to trademark registration in order to protect UMKM.

Village funds which have become a pendulum for village development provide quite a formidable task for village village administrators to make the best use of them. The involvement of public and community actors at the local level is a strategic step in managing village funds to provide a transparent and accountable effect, as mandated by the collaborative governance model so that the results of development become more beneficial for the citizens.    This research uses a qualitative method. The technique of taking informants is done by snowball sampling while maintaining independence in expressing opinions. Data collection methods with in-depth interviews, observation and document analysis. Data analysis was carried out interactively, starting from data collection, data condensation, data appearance, and research conclusions drawn and combined with the appearance of descriptive data.     The results showed that the collaborative process had proceeded well as seen from face-to-face dialogue, building trust, community commitment and various understandings of the development had an impact on effective development outcomes both physical and non-physical in nature.
The potential for geostationary remote sensing of NO2 to improve weather prediction

Abstract. Observations of winds in the planetary boundary layer remain sparse making it challenging to simulate and predict atmospheric conditions that are most important for describing and predicting urban air quality. Short-lived chemicals are observed as plumes whose location is affected by boundary layer winds and with a lifetime affected by boundary layer height and mixing. Here we investigate the application of data assimilation of NO2 columns as will be observed from geostationary orbit to improve predictions and retrospective analysis of wind fields in the boundary layer.

Abstract. Trace elements play important roles as micronutrients in modulating marine productivity in the global ocean. The South Atlantic around 40° S is a prominent region of high productivity and a transition zone between the nitrate-depleted Subtropical Gyre and the iron-limited Southern Ocean. However, the sources and fluxes of trace elements to this region remain unclear. In this study, the distribution of the naturally occurring radioisotope 228Ra in the water column of the South Atlantic (Cape Basin and Argentine Basin) has been investigated along a 40° S zonal transect to estimate ocean mixing and trace element supply to the surface ocean. Ra-228 profiles have been used to determine the horizontal and vertical mixing rates in the near-surface open ocean. In the Argentine Basin, horizontal mixing from the continental shelf to the open ocean shows an eddy diffusion of Kx = 1.7 ± 1.4 (106 cm2 s−1) and an integrated advection velocity w = 0.6 ± 0.3 cm s−1. In the Cape Basin, horizontal mixing is Kx = 2.7 ± 0.8 (107 cm2 s−1) and vertical mixing Kz = 1.0–1.5 cm2 s−1 in the upper 600 m layer. Three different approaches (228Ra-diffusion, 228Ra-advection and 228Ra/TE-ratio) have been applied to estimate the dissolved trace-element fluxes from shelf to open ocean. These approaches bracket the possible range of off-shelf fluxes from the Argentine margin to be: 3.8–22 (× 103) nmol Co m−2 d−1, 7.9–20 (× 104) nmol Fe m−2 d−1 and 2.7–6.5 (× 104) nmol Zn m−2 d−1. Off-shelf fluxes from the Cape margin are: 4.3–6.2 (× 103) nmol Co m−2 d−1, 1.2–3.1 (× 104) nmol Fe m−2 d−1 and 0.9–1.2 (× 104) nmol Zn m−2 d−1. On average, at 40° S in the Atlantic, vertical mixing supplies 0.4–1.2 nmol Co m−2 d−1, 3.6–11 nmol Fe m−2 d−1, and 13–16 nmol Zn m−2 d−1 to the euphotic zone. Compared with atmospheric dust and continental shelf inputs, vertical mixing is a more important source for supplying dissolved trace elements to the surface 40° S Atlantic. It is insufficient, however, to provide the trace elements removed by biological uptake. Other inputs (e.g. particulate, or from winter deep-mixing) are required to balance the trace element budgets in this region.
