Role of Initial Moisture Content on Hygrothermal Models and Envelope Performance
Authors: Wagner Carly May , Cyphers Rex A.
Published: June 2020

Countless inputs are used in transient hygrothermal analysis, just as countless variables determine the long-term hygrothermal performance of a real-world building envelope assembly. One variable often overlooked, oversimplified, and inaccurately accounted for is the initial moisture content of materials. This paper discusses the impact initial moisture content has on both the real-world performance and the accuracy of the modeled hygrothermal performance. ASHRAE Standard 160, Criteria for Moisture-Control Design Analysis in Buildings, provides guidelines for assumptions of initial moisture content inputs in hygrothermal analysis. These guidelines are generic in nature and are not necessarily representative of in-service conditions. The authors conducted a study to explore the role that a range of inputs have on the accuracy of hygrothermal models. Temperature and humidity data across a wall assembly along with all necessary interior and exterior climate data were collected over the course of several seasons. The data were used to develop a series of WUFI models, attempting to validate these models and the default or recommended inputs. The study indicated that the models did not accurately reflect the data recorded in the field unless values for the initial moisture content matched what was recorded in the field rather than the default ASHRAE 160 recommended values. This study, and several other real-world cases where excessive initial moisture content has led to envelope failures, highlights the importance of accurately accounting for initial moisture content. Particularly in the cases of renovations and restoration projects, methods are available to determine realistic values of the initial moisture content within the existing materials. Appropriate methods for determining the initial moisture content of materials comprising existing envelope assemblies are discussed, including the methods contained within the new standard ASTM E3069-19, Standard Guide for Evaluation and Rehabilitation of Mass Masonry Walls for Changes to Thermal and Moisture Properties of the Wall.

Published: June 2020

Determining thermal performance of spandrel assemblies in glazing systems is a challenge for design teams. Most designers rely on current building energy codes and industry standards for defining and determining performance, but the industry as a whole recognizes that these codes and standards have several shortcomings regarding spandrel thermal performance. It is important for designers to understand the purpose of the codes and standards, as well as their limitations, when determining thermal performance. In this paper, we address the challenges in estimating the thermal performance of spandrel assemblies in glazing systems by reviewing current building energy code and industry standards, performing a parametric study using two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) analysis and calculation methods, and discussing considerations for future development of calculation methods, codes, and standards to address current shortcomings.
Changes in Exterior Envelope Systems’ Thermal Performance Requirements and Impacts upon Design, Materials, Products, and Systems
Authors: Jensen William , Johnson Paul G.
Published: June 2020

This paper addresses the evolution of ASHRAE Standard 90.1, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, with regard to the continued long-term increase in thermal performance levels required of commercial building envelope and fenestration systems. The trend of increasing thermal performance levels for building envelopes has had a significant impact on design and the materials, systems, and products available for use in exterior building envelopes. This is particularly true when considering buildings of size or simplicity that do not warrant thermal modeling of the entire building or envelope system to validate compliance with mandated energy performance levels. As a widely recognized, and most often code-mandated, standard, ASHRAE 90.1 significantly impacts the selection of materials, products, and systems available for compliance with required energy standards. As increases continue through the most recent edition of ASHRAE 90.1 and as U-values become more stringent for materials, products, and systems in specific envelope applications, identifying options for the design of buildings becomes more challenging. The demand for additional options also increases, which will hopefully spur greater interest in the development of new and improved envelope materials, systems, and products to meet the demands of aesthetics and the more stringent energy performance requirements. As requirements for energy performance increase, the number of buildings and envelope systems evaluated by thermal modeling to confirm compliance with new standards is also likely to increase. Compliance with the new ASHRAE 90.1 “prescriptive” requirements has been challenging and appears likely to become even more so. This paper includes consideration of a 20-year period (1999–2019) of evolving ASHRAE 90.1 standards and criteria for prescriptive building envelope thermal performance, and specific examples of the types of restraints currently being experienced by designers is included.
MANAGEMENT OF ENDOCRINE DISEASE Subclinical hypothyroidism in children
Authors: Salerno Mariacarolina , Improda Nicola , Capalbo Donatella
Published: June 2020

Subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) is biochemically defined as serum TSH levels above the upper limit of the reference range in the presence of normal free T4 (FT4) concentrations. While there is a general agreement to treat subjects with serum TSH levels above 10 mU/L, the management of mild form (TSH concentrations between 4.5 and 10 mU/L) is still a matter of debate. In children, mild SH is often a benign and remitting condition and the risk of progression to overt thyroid dysfunction depends on the underlying condition, being higher in the autoimmune forms. The major concern is to establish whether SH in children should always be considered an expression of mild thyroid dysfunction and may deserve treatment. Current data indicate that children with mild SH have normal linear growth, bone health and intellectual outcome. However, slight metabolic abnormalities and subtle deficits in specific cognitive domains have been reported in children with modest elevation of TSH concentration. Although these findings are not sufficient to recommend levothyroxine treatment for all children with mild SH, they indicate the need for regular monitoring to ensure early identification of children who may benefit from treatment. In the meanwhile, the decision to initiate therapy in children with mild SH should be based on individual factors.

A synthesis of bismuth selenide with a thickness of 3-4 nm on the surface of mica taken as a matrix was investigated using the gas-solid mechanism. Since discovery of two-dimensional atomic crystals of graphene in 2004, scientists have grown interested in exploring methods for synthesis of two-dimensional atomic crystal nanofilms. Among them, of particular interest are sulfides and transition metal selenides, such as molybdenum sulfide, tungsten selenide, bismuth selenide. Bismuth selenide possesses special thermoelectric, photoelectric properties, therefore there are wide possibilities for its use in such areas as thermoelectric devices, photosensitive elements, optical information keepers, etc. In this connection, there are many studies on the search for optimal methods for the synthesis of bismuth selenide. Each of the proposed methods has its own advantages and disadvantages. In the article, a variety of the recently used gas-liquid-solid mechanism (V-L-S) is used as a method for the synthesis of bismuth selenide. When using amorphous silicon dioxide as a matrix, the synthesized bismuth selenide is not uniform, and the synthesis process is uncontrollable. Therefore, in the work fluorinated gold mica was used as a matrix. The effect of temperature, gas feed rate on the size, shape and thickness of the film was investigated.
The Patristic Doctrine About Prilog in the Novel of Fedor Dostoevsky Crime and Punishment
Authors: Uzhankov Аleхandеr N.
Published: June 2020

The article considers the influence of the patristic doctrine about prilog (the beginning of a thought) on formation of the psychological image of Rodion Raskolnikov in the novel of F. M. Dostoevsky Crime and Punishment. According to the teachings of Christian theologians, any sin begins with an intention (thought), a person establishes the conversation with, a union with the thought, which gradually becomes an irresistible desire. Being captivated by this thought, the person falls from grace (passion). Rodion Raskolnikov went through all these five stages in the development of sin. Initially, he had the idea to kill an old moneylender, that strengthened after he had overheard the conversation between a student and an officer in a tavern. Thereby, Raskolnikov constantly recured to his sinful thought. Having mentally prepared himself for the murder, he was preparing for its implementation: he searches for an ax, sews on a loop, studies the route to the old woman’s house, and commits the murder. An unrepentant sin entails even greater sins — a double murder. And only through suffering the main character can endure the transformation and return to people.
Slavia Orthodoхa Literary Tradition: Between Canon and Archetype
Authors: Popović Tanja
Published: June 2020

The paper examines theoretical, methodological and comparative problems related to the studies of literature of Slavia Orthodoxa. Special attention has been focused on different evaluations of this literary method in various scholarly circles, both in the East (Jakobson, Lotman, Uspensky, Esaulov), and the West (Picchio, Wellek, Obolensky, Bloom, etc). Starting from Bakhtin’s idea that the history and development of a literary form and expression determine its presence, the paper discusses whether it is possible to talk about Slavia Orthodoxa outside the context of the Middle Ages.
A Model for the Formation of Secondary Linguistic Personality through Work with Precedent Cultural Phenomena during Сlasses in the Russian Language as a Foreign Language
Authors: Kanevska Olga B. , Hostra Kateryna V.
Published: June 2020

Introduction. This article considers the problem of the formation of a secondary linguistic personality through work with precedent phenomena of culture, but it does not cover all its aspects. Our purpose is to describe a model of formation of a secondary linguistic personality by dealing with the precedent phenomena of culture during Russian language lessons as a foreign language.
Materials and Methods. Pedagogical forecasting and modeling were used to optimize and detail the process of the formation of a secondary linguistic personality through work with precedent cultural phenomena. To determine the quantitative and qualitative indicators of the study, statistical methods of quantitative and qualitative data processing were used (Student’s t-test). The pedagogical experiment involved schoolchildren of two secondary schools of Kryvyi Rih city (Ukraine). The sample consisted of 82 fifth-grade high school students. At the ascertaining stage, the questionnaire was conducted; at the formative stage, training was conducted typically in the control group; in the experimental group, based on the developed model; at the control stage, repeated questioning and interviews were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the model.
Results. The use of the model in the learning process forms not only theoretical knowledge of the precedent phenomena of culture but also the practical skill of their use, facilitates intercultural communication, which contributes to the formation of a secondary language personality. The developed model of working with precedent cultural phenomena proved to be an effective auxiliary tool in the formation of the secondary linguistic personality. Precedent cultural phenomena can become the foundation for creating end-to-end curricula, a tool for creating didactic material taking into account innovative technologies, and the basis of training courses.
Discussion and Conclusion. The results of this research work may be useful for secondary and higher school teaching staff of Russian as a foreign language.
Simulation of Sesame Seeds Outflow in Oscillating Seed Metering Device Using DEM
Authors: Sharaby Noureldin N. , Doroshenko Artyom A. , Butovchenko Andrey V.
Published: June 2020

Introduction. Sesame crop is one of the most important export crops in many countries around the world, especially in Africa. To meet the agricultural requirement of precision planting, various types of precision seed planters have been developed. Numerous studies were carried out to study the optimisation of the parameters of the precision planting. One of these parameters, affecting the quality of the precision seeder, is the grain outflow from the seed metering device.
Materials and Methods. In order to maintain good continuous performance of an oscillating seeder, it is important to monitor seed flow in real-time and adjust oscillation parameters automatically. Existing research methods, such as prototyping and monitoring the process using a high-speed camera, by reason of the random movement of particles, do not allow obtaining sufficient data to understand trajectories and velocities of particles and existing equations for particle motion when simulating the sowing process do not allow taking into account the interaction of particles that having various shapes, rolling and sliding friction coefficients, and the elastic modulus of particle materials and a working body. In this study, the outflow rate of sesame seeds in an oscillating seed metering device was modeled using the simulation method based on the discrete element method. The aim of this study is to create a simulation model of an oscillating-type sowing planter using the sowing sesame seeds as an example for evaluating the effectiveness of this model, and the possibility of further optimization and prediction of sowing seeds with this device.
Results. The analysis of the results showed that during the simulation, the sowing rate of sesame seeds when leaving the oscillating seed metering holes has significant differences in number and direction. The results of the modeling process in this study showed that when opening a hole in the oscillating seeder, a number of sesame seeds from 0 to 4 were coming out of it. The resulting model allows monitoring the behavior of each particle of a sesame seed, analyzing its trajectory, speed, and forces acting on it at any one time, and varying the parameters to obtain the dependence of uneven seeding on the kinematic and geometric parameters of the device.
Discussion and Conclusion. The obtained simulation results provide an effective method for predicting the consumption of sesame seeds from the oscillating seed meter, which serves as the basis for optimizing the kinematic and geometric parameters of the oscillating sowing device in order to increase its efficiency. This model is universal and can be adapted to sow other crops.

Authors: Sobral Cristina
Published: June 2020

Este artigo analisa as vidas de duas santas que a Idade Média representou como apóstolas e pregadoras, Santa Maria Madalena e Santa Marta, no primeiro legendário pós-tridentino publicado em Portugal (1567). O seu autor, Fr. Diogo do Rosário, tem como objectivo a observação das orientações concilares. Pretende-se saber se a sua obra põe, de facto, em prática, novos métodos e novos temas, por exemplo repondo dentro dos limites da ortodoxia estas duas narrativas que, na tradição medieval, não obedeciam à proibição que S. Paulo lançara sobre a pregação feminina. A análise será feita comparando as escolhas que Fr. Diogo do Rosário fez com o que ofereciam as fontes que teve à sua disposição e avaliando a sua acção inovadora sobre os textos.
El relato de la vida de san Vicente Ferrer antes y después de Trento
Authors: Arronis-Llopis Carme
Published: June 2020

Desde el inicio de su culto se escribieron numerosas vidas de san Vicente Ferrer, y cada una de ellas destaca o afianza determinados aspectos de su polifacética santidad, especialmente en el Quinientos, cuando, por un lado, su imagen y su culto todavía están en proceso de consolidación y, por otro, asistimos a una revisión de los parámetros de la hagiografía como consecuencia de las directrices dictadas por el Concilio de Trento. El análisis de los primeros relatos sobre el santo que se elaboraron en romance en el área de Valencia (su lugar de origen, y donde, lógicamente, su devoción arraigó de manera particular) permitirá conocer tanto los avatares de determinados textos a lo largo de la centuria, como la reescritura de la vida del santo según los parámetros que dictará la ortodoxia.

Purpose. Identification of the possibilities of contrast enhancement computed tomography in evaluated the number of the acinar structures in the pancreatic parenchyma at the preoperative stage to predict the development pancreatic fistula.

Material and methods. In 2016–2019, 196 pancreatoduodenectomy were performed. 86 patients were retrospectively selected. Patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 included 16 observations with the development of clinically significant pancreatic fistula, in 2 – 70 cases without complications. According to preoperative contrast enhancement computed tomography, structure of the pancreas, pancreatic parenchyma thickness, pancreatic duct diameter, the density of the pancreas in the native phase, relative parenchyma enhancement ratio, washout coefficient, pancreas stump volume were evaluated. According histological, the number of acinar and fat cells in the section of the removed pancreas was evaluated.

Results. “Soft” structure of the pancreas (r = 0.374, p = 0.000), pancreatic parenchyma thickness (r = 0.549, p = 0.000), the density of the pancreas in the native phase of the scan (r = 0.568, p = 0.000), the values relative parenchyma enhancement ratio (r = 0.63, p = 0.000), pancreas stump volume (r = 0.508, p = 0.000) positively correlated with clinically significant pancreatic fistula and the number of acinar cells. Pancreatic duct diameter (r = −0.339, p = 0.001) negatively correlated with clinically significant pancreatic fistula and the number of acinar cells. Pancreatic fistula risk is 3.09 times higher with the number of acini more than 72.5%, sensitivity 75%, specificity 75.71%. Pancreatic fistula risk is 1.8 times higher with the density of the pancreas in the native phase over 35.5 HU sensitivity 62%, specificity 65%. Pancreatic fistula risk is 2.76 times higher with values parenchyma accumulation coefficient more than 1, sensitivity 75%, specificity 73%.

Conclusions. Contrast enhancement computed tomography allows evaluating acinar index in the preoperative period to pick out the high-risk patient group to development of pancreatic fistula.

Аim. Evaluation of the effectiveness of hepatocellular carcinoma treatment at early BCLC-A and intermediate BCLC-B stages by the combined use of liver resections and locoregional therapy.

Materials and methods. The study included 142 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. At the BCLC-A stage – 46 observations, at the BCLC-B stage – 96 observations. Chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis of various etiologies were detected in 58 (40.8%) patients. Liver resection of various volumes, transarterial chemoembolization and radiofrequency ablation were used for treatment. With the tumor progression and the ineffectiveness of locoregional therapy, targeted therapy was prescribed.

Results. Four groups of patients were identified depending on treatment tactics. In group 1, 28 patients underwent radical liver resections; in group 2, 37 patients underwent preoperative transarterial chemoembolization and liver resection. In group 3, 63 patients underwent therapeutic transarterial chemoembolization and radiofrequency ablation. In group 4, 14 patients underwent transarterial chemoembolization followed by hepatic arterial infusion of chemotherapy and targeted therapy. Overall survival in groups 1 and 2 significantly exceeds survival rates in groups 3 and 4. The median overall survival in groups 1–4 was 39, 37.5, 19.5, and 7.5 months (p1–3 = 0.0001 ; p1–4 = 0.0009, p2–3 = 0.018 , p 2–4 = 0.001). The cumulative one, three and five year survival rates in groups 1 and 2 did not significantly differ (87.8% and 80.0%, 82.5% and 75.0%, 68.2% and 58.0%, 54.5% and 41.0%, respectively, p1–2 = 0.076). However, group 1 consisted exclusively of patients with BCLC-A stages with solitary tumors less than 6.5 cm in diameter, group 2 included large BCLC-A tumors and multiple tumors BCLC-B stages (67.6%).

Conclusion. For the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma BCLC-A and BCLC-B stages, a multimodal approach should be applied, including differential use and a rational combination of regional chemotherapy and resection techniques, taking into account the functional state of the liver.

This paper aims at investigating the method of applying educational technology to enhance TEFL in the Faculty of Sciences and Arts at Muhayle Aassir. The researcher uses close-ended questions interview and direct observation as instruments for collecting the data, and then he uses the descriptive method to analyse them. He chooses these two instruments as most appropriate for exchanging and evaluating ideas about using educational technology to enhance teaching EFL in the prescribed faculty. He, also, uses the observational method to study classroom events. The interview was held with 20 teachers of the English Department in order to get valuable information for the study. Furthermore, the researcher uses the SPSS programme to compute the data. The following are the study findings: Firstly; the usage of mere traditional devices in instruction has a poor efficiency on LEFL at the above-mentioned faculty. Secondly; there is effectiveness in using educational technology in teaching. Thirdly; it seems that the Faculty of Sciences and Arts provides training for the English language teachers with regard to educational technology, but in vain. The researcher recommends that English language teachers, of Faculty of Sciences and Arts, should facilitate and enhance learning via using educational technology- in their teaching- in order to keep students more interested and more engaged with the topic which is presented.

Sözlü kültür ürünü olan masalların kuşaktan kuşağa aktarılmasında yeniden üretim biçimleri önemlidir. Yeniden üretim sırasında masallarda yapısal, ideolojik değişikliklerin yaşanması kaçınılmazdır. Bu değişikliklerin bariz şekilde hissedildiği masal örneklerinden biri de Pamuk Prenses ve Yedi Cüceler’dir. Çalışmanın konusunu, Pamuk Prenses ve Yedi Cüceler masalının yeniden üretim biçimi oluşturmaktadır. Pamuk Prenses ve Yedi Cüceler masalının yeniden üretiminde, ne tür değişiklerin yapıldığı ve bunların hangi ideolojik, ekonomik ve kültürel kaygılarla yapıldığını ortaya koymak çalışmanın sorunsalıdır. Bu sorunsal ışığında, ilk önce masalın, 1812 yılında Alman Grimm Kardeşler tarafından yazılı eser haline getirilmesine değinilmiş, ikinci olarak 1937’de Disney’in, Grimmler’in masalının çizgi film uyarlaması ve son olarak da Disney’in çizgi filminden 1970’de Ertem Göreç’in uyarlaması ele alınmıştır. Sonuçta ise, Pamuk Prenses ve Yedi Cüceler masalının sözlü anlatıdan yazılı anlatıya, animasyon anlatısına ve sinema film anlatısına her üretildiğinde, ideolojik kaygılarla yapısal değişiklikler yaşamış olduğunu söylemek mümkündür.
ECONOMIC INTELLIGENCE: MODERN CONCEPT
Authors: Adami C.
Published: June 2020

In the last half-century, the economic relations between countries have become more difficult to manage. Economic intelligence is a new complex and multidisciplinary concept introduced to help countries to interact in the new more complex scenario. The intelligence involves researching and finding informative asymmetries between two actors to use the obtained information for economic purposes. This study makes use of a new scientific theoretical approach to explore the economic intelligence concept represented by different contributions in academic literature. As a result, a lexicographic definition of the economic intelligence concept is proposed as a specialized elucidation that involves a theoretical approach to form information set for developing strategies of international economic relations between countries.

The mental health counseling profession’s focus on wellness and prevention puts counselors at an advantage in the developing fields of integrated care and cancer care. To integrate counselors further into the cancer care world, this study investigated how factors related to prevention and wellness (e.g., health orientation and fear of cancer) relate to topics that counselors are adept at addressing, such as optimism, social support, and resilience. Results indicated that health orientation predicted fear of cancer, but that psychosocial variables (i.e., optimism and social support) either had no relationship with cancer fear or were not significant moderators (i.e., resiliency) of the relationship between health orientation and fear of cancer. In particular, health anxiety was the best predictor of cancer fear. Implications for counselors and future research are discussed.

El rostro del gobernante ejemplar. Los grabados del Cardenal Ximénez de Cisneros en la Edad Moderna europea.
Authors: González Ramos Roberto
Published: June 2020

RESUMENEl cardenal Ximénez de Cisneros (1436-1517), sin duda de las figuras más destacadas de la temprana Edad Moderna en España, es uno de los gobernantes más representados en el grabado. Nos interesa estudiar no solo las representaciones de su persona en este medio técnico, entre los siglos XV y XVIII, sino también explicar las causas por las que fueron realizadas, de forma tan sostenida, en este período, así como los medios en que aparecen y los modelos iconográficos que presentan. El texto se ocupa brevemente de ejemplares bien conocidos, y se centra en otros hasta ahora no estudiados, para ofrecer una visión completa del asunto y poner de manifiesto la importancia de estos retratos del cardenal, y sus diversas genealogías visuales.Palabras clave: Cardenal Ximénez de Cisneros; grabado; genealogías.
Consideraciones sobre elementos de la arquitectura y la venustas en Vitruvio y en San Isidoro. Similitudes y diferencias
Authors: García Sánchez Rafael
Published: June 2020

RESUMENVitruvio e Isidoro de Sevilla hacen referencia a la venustas. Sin embargo, el sentido que se le otorga en De Architectura difiere en lo sustancial al que aparece en las Etimologías. En este artículo nos proponemos constatar tales diferencias, lo que nos lleva a concluir que el hispalense no funda-menta su noción de arquitectura en el tratado vitruviano.Palabras clave: Vitruvio; Isidoro de Sevilla; Venustas; Pulchritudo; Arquitectura.

Sprinkling or irrigation ?
Authors: Morhaus G.H.
Published: June 2020

The economics of sprinkler irrigation and of surface irrigation are theoretically analysed for areas where water is in short supply. It is postulated that where crop yields and general expenses per unit area are equal for the 2 systems, sprinkler irrigation will be the more profitable because a greater area of land can be irrigated with the same quantity of water. Where sprinkler irrigation results in higher yields and proportionately higher general expenses, profitability may be increased. Graphs are given illustrating these 2 concepts.-R.B.

Determination of micro-quantities of magnesium.
Authors: Van Schouwenburg J.C. , Walinga I.
Published: June 2020

To 25 ml or less of a neutral sample (containing up to 20 gamma Mg) in a 150ml separating funnel, 10 ml tartrate solution, 10 ml boric-acid buffer and 5 ml Na diethyldithiocarbamate are added and the solution made up to 50 ml. After extracting with 25 ml chloroform and discarding the organic phase the water phase is rinsed with about 10 ml chloroform and the organic phase again discarded. 10 ml of masking agent, 1 ml n-butylamine and 10 ml extracting solution (8-hydroxyquinoline in chloroform) are then added. After shaking and separating the organic phase a knife point of Na2SO4 is added and the extinction of the samples and that of a l0 gamma Mg standard are measured against a simultaneously treated reagent blank at 380 nm.

Properties of saline soils in Iraq.
Authors: Delver P.
Published: June 2020

Data on soil texture, lime, gypsum, cation-exchange capacity, salinity, alkalinity, hydraulic conductivity and their interrelations and variations are discussed. An equation expresses the relationship between exchangeable Na and cations soluble in 1: 1 extracts. Special attention is paid to whether alkalization and structure deterioration will occur during reclamation. Gypsum contents seem to be adequate for replacement of Na by Ca during leaching but temporary decrease in permeability in early stages of leaching may occur due to retarded exchange reactions caused by the nature of the clay minerals.

Potential and actual productivity of stem wood in forestry.
Authors: Becking J.H.
Published: June 2020

The author discusses critically Paterson's climatic index for potential vegetative productivity (C.V.P.), Weck's emendation thereof [cf. F.A. 19 No. 2134], and other literature, and draws up a revised index for calculating stemwood production of the different forest types of the world. According to this revision, tropical lowland and mountain rain forest production will greatly exceed that of temperate regions. Stemwood production in dry-matter tons per ha. is compared for a number of European and tropical tree species; the revised index for estimating potential stemwood production agrees quite well with the data.

Total pore-space estimation in freshly ploughed soil.
Authors: Kuipers H. , Van Ouwerkerk C.
Published: June 2020

A method is described for measuring the height of the soil surface at different times relative to level marks under the ploughed layer. These heights can be used to calculate pore space immediately after plowing from its value determined before plowing & the plowing depth. The height of the surface soil is measured with a relief meter which is shown in a photograph. It consists of a vertical scale 10 cm high, divided into cm & fitted in an aluminium frame. In front of the scale 20 needles are placed 10 cm apart & held in position by a spring-mounted bar. If the bar is pushed in, the needles slide down until they touch the soil surface. Experiments show that spring cultivations compact the soil; frost raises the height of the surface soil, but has little effect on surface roughness.

The occurrence of distinct prismatic & plary structures in organic soil profiles.
Authors: Kuiper F. , Slager S.
Published: June 2020

Prisms & plates occurring in organic soils were correlated with a deep groundwater table associated with the vicinity of a brook draining the area, sufficient thickness of the organic layer to form an impermeable reduced peat horizon preventing seepage-water from rising in the profile, or Fe coatings on the peds promoting high permeability of the oxidized peat.

The mechanical analysis of soils in general and the effect of anions on the dispersibility of lateritic soils in particular.
Authors: Lameris C.L.
Published: June 2020

The technique of mechanical analysis is critically discussed with a view to standardizing the procedure, and effects of the concentration of dispersing agent in the suspension and the importance of the anion and pH in the degree of dispersion in lateritic soils are dealt with. The use of pyrophosphate or hexametaphosphate in preference to oxalate as dispersing agent for lateritic soils is advocated, and the role of P2O7 and PO3 ions is compared to that of the OH ion in the deflocculation of these soils.

Cocoa research in West Irian (West New Guinea).
Authors: Ruinard J.
Published: June 2020

Research work carried out at the Manokwari Agricultural Research Station up to the end of 1962 is reviewed. Breeding and selection were the main projects, but the work reviewed also included studies on plant spacing, rootstock effects on scions, and the processing and storage of cocoa. Pests and diseases did not constitute serious problems, and shade appeared to be unnecessary. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)
