Abstract
The aim of these activities was to provide input/recommendations to policymakers about the issues and problems of agricultural development from the study of technology adoption on integrated crop management (ICM) of rice. The event was held from March - November 2015 in four districts namely Pidie, Aceh Utara, Aceh Barat, and Aceh Barat Daya. The activities implemented through field studies with respondents are farmers who received the SLICM program (purposive sampling). Each district was selected one district and each district will be selected two villages. In-depth interview respondents as much as 10-20 farmers per village. Respondents were selected randomly from members of rice SLICM. Data collected consists of primary data and secondary data and processed by descriptive analysis. The results showed that the level of technology adoption on integrated crop management (ICM) of rice in Pidie, Aceh Utara, Aceh Barat, and Aceh Barat Daya districts is not influenced by the characteristics of the respondent, such as; age, education, and experience of farmers in cropping rice. Technology adoption on integrated crop management (ICM) of rice is still limited to the use of the technology components of new varieties and seed labeled. The various components of the basic technology and the integrated crop management selection of paddy rice, which have not adopted by respondents include intermittent irrigation, organic fertilizer utilization, weeding with grok. While legowo cropping system is still limited. The adoption rate on integrated crop management (ICM) of rice is influenced by several factors, among others: the implemented technology is easy, uncomplicated. The technology is also cheap but in accordance with the conditions of society and new technologies can provide more benefit to them (increased yield).

Abstract
This study was aimed at determining the effect of gibberellin concentration and the interval of Natural Nusantara (NASA) liquid organic fertilizer, as well as their interactions to influence growth and yield of shallots. This study was conducted from April to July 2019 in Experimental Field and Horticulture Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Syiah Kuala. The experiment used a Randomized Block Design with a Factorial pattern of 4x3. Gibberellin concentrations were observed at 4 levels (control, 100, 150, and 200 ppm) and the interval of NASA liquid organic fertilizer was observed at 3 levels (controlled, every 7, and 14 days DAP). The results showed that the highest shallot plant was found of 14 DAP, and the largest number of bulbs was found at 100 ppm of gibberellins concentration. The highest of fresh biomass per clump and the largest bulb diameter were found at 150 ppm gibberellins concentration. The growth and yield of the highest shallots were found at the interval of control treatment of NASA liquid organic fertilizer. The highest number of bulbs was found in the combination of gibberellins control with the interval of NASA liquid organic fertilizer every 14 days.

Abstract
This study was aimed to determine the growth, production, and nutrient content of Cichorium intybus planted in different planting densities and fertilization levels in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The study was arranged on factorial randomized design (3 x 3) with two factors: level of fertilization (0, 45, and 60 kg/ha) and planting density (2, 3, and 4 g of seeds/m2); with 6 replications – aggregating 54 plots. Chicory seeds were spread on 1 x 1.5 m2 plots with 20 cm of bedding height and 30 cm of distance between plots. NPK fertilizer was given when plants reached 15 days old. Plants were harvested at day-50 by cutting them 10 cm above the soil surface. The observation was performed on these following variables: growth (plant height, plant length, and leaf width), production (dry and organic matter production), and nutrient value (crude protein, dry and organic matter contents). All data were statistically evaluated using of the SPSS computer program. Significant treatments were subjected to Duncan’s new multiple range test (DMRT). The study shows that plants which received the greatest amount of fertilizer had the highest growth, production, and nutrient value (P-value <0.05). Higher planting density compensated the plant height, leaf width, number of leaves, dry and organic matter contents (P-value <0.05). However, it escalated the dry and organic matter production (P-value <0.05). The plant that received 60 kg/ha of fertilizer and planted in 3 g/m2 density demonstrated the most improved yield.

Abstract
Sago (Metroxylon sp) is a native plant to southeast Asia, and is one a food commodities that contain a lot of carbohydrated. Therefore, sago is used as a staple food for several regions in Indonesia such as Maluku and Irian Jaya. In the sago community, there is very little use of sago, even though sago can be used as raw material for making various products such as noodles, cakes, cookies, crackers and brownies. The study aimed to determine the effect of substitutions of sago starch and corn starch on the chemical properties of brownies. This study used factorial Completely Randomized Design which consisted of two factors. The first factor was the percentage of sago starch (S), which consisted of 3 levels, namely S1 = 50%, S2 = 75%, and S3 = 100%. The second factor was the concentration of corn starch (T) which consisted of 2 levels, namely T1 = 15% and T2 = 20%. The parameters observed werewater content, ash content, fiber content, fat content, protein content, and carbohydrate content. The best treatment for chemical test is on the T2S2 treatment with the results of water content of 23.62%, ash content 2.14%, fiber content 3.46%, fat content of 23.95%, protein content of 3.36%, and carbohydrates 50.15%.

Published: February 2020

AbstractOur aim in this study is to build a model for the expansion of date palms (Phoenix spp., Arecaceae) that can be linked to domestication processes. Palaeontological and archaeobotanical evidence concerning date palm is extremely diversified around the Mediterranean Basin and in West Asia, mainly consisting of date fruit remains, but also including leaf fragments and other plant remains. This biological evidence is further compared with cultural evidence (coins, pottery, ancient texts) and the present distribution of Phoenix spp. in the area. Bayesian methods working with likelihood and conditional probabilities are successfully applied to generate a model for displaying in maps the ancient distribution of palm groves in terms of probabilities. The model suggests that the domestication of Phoenix dactylifera occurred mainly east of 30°E, probably in the Jordan Valley area, starting before 7 kya and, in a westward shift, that this was gradually superposed onto pre-existing local western populations of the same genus, especially in the Nile valley. It appears that this mainly affected the P. dactylifera western cluster (P. excelsior, P. atlantica, P. iberica). However, other taxa persisted as independent species (P. theophrasti, P. canariensis).

Abstract
Satellite image denoising is a recent trend in image processing, but faces many challenges due to the environmental factors. Previous works have developed many filters for denoising the hyperspectral satellite images. Accordingly, this work utilizes an adaptive filter with the type 2 fuzzy system and the optimization-based kernel interpolation for the satellite image denoising. Here, the image denoising has been done through three steps, namely noise identification, noise correction and image enhancement. Initially, the type 2 fuzzy system identifies the noisy pixels in the satellite image and converts the image into a binary image, which is passed through the adaptive nonlocal mean filter (ANLMF) for the noise correction. Finally, the kernel-based interpolation scheme carries out the image enhancement, which is done through the proposed chronological Jaya optimization algorithm (chronological JOA) that is developed by modifying Jaya optimization algorithm (JOA) with the chronological idea. The performance of the proposed denoising scheme is analyzed by considering the satellite images from two standard databases, namely Indian pines database and NRSC/ISRO satellite database. Also, the comparative analysis is performed with the state-of-the-art denoising methods using the evaluation metrics, peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), structural similarity index (SSIM) and second derivative-like measure of enhancement (SDME). From the results, it is exposed that the proposed adaptive filter with the chronological JOA has the improved performance with the PSNR of 22.0408 dB, SDME of 244.133 dB and SSIM of 0.872.

ABSTRACTIn rod-shaped Gram-negative bacteria, penicillin binding protein 1a (PBP1a) and 1b (PBP1b) form peptidoglycan-synthesizing complexes with the outer membrane lipoprotein LpoA and LpoB, respectively. Escherichia coli mutants lacking PBP1b/LpoB are sicker than those lacking PBP1a/LpoA. However, we previously found that mutants lacking PBP1a/LpoA but not PBP1b/LpoB are deleterious in Shewanella oneidensis. Here, we show that S. oneidensis PBP1a (SoPBP1a) contains conserved signature motifs with its E. coli counterpart, EcPBP1a. Although EcPBP1a play a less prominent role in E. coli, it is capable of substituting for the SoPBP1a in a manner dependent on SoLpoA. In S. oneidensis, expression of PBP1b is lower than PBP1a, and therefore the additional expression of SoPBP1b at low levels can functionally compensate for the absence of SoPBP1a. Importantly, S. oneidensis PBP1a variants lacking either glycosyltransferase (GTase) or transpeptidase (TPase) activity fail to maintain normal morphology and cell envelope integrity. Similarly, SoPBP1b variants also fail to compensate for the loss of SoPBP1a. Furthermore, overproduction of variants of SoPBP1a, but not SoPBP1b, has detrimental effects on cell morphology in S. oneidensis wild type cells. Overall, our results indicate that the combined enzymatic activities of SoPBP1a are essential for cell wall homeostasis.
Local multipliers at work
Authors: Cerqua Augusto , Pellegrini Guido 
Published: February 2020

AbstractWe propose a novel evaluation strategy to estimate local multipliers in Italy during 1996–2006. We find the presence of positive multipliers: 0.26–0.33 for the tradable sector (manufacturing) and 0.88–1.13 for the non-tradable sector (construction and services). They are lower than what was previously found for the United States but much higher than those identified for European and Asian countries. The reasons for this finding lie in the higher accuracy of the data, in the relevance of the instrument used, and in the widespread underutilization of production factors.

AbstractObjectivesTo determine factors associated with interindividual variability in tenofovir diphosphate (TFV-DP) concentrations in dried blood spots (DBSs) among persons living with HIV (PLWH).MethodsPLWH who were at least 18 years old and taking tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-containing ART were prospectively recruited and enrolled from a clinical cohort and followed longitudinally (up to three visits over 48 weeks). With log-transformed TFV-DP concentrations in DBSs as the outcome, mixed-model regression analyses were used to assess associations between self-reported 3 month ART adherence, race and other clinical covariates (gender, age, BMI, CD4+ T cell count, estimated glomerular filtration rate, haematocrit, duration on current ART and anchor drug class) on TFV-DP in DBSs.ResultsFive hundred and twenty-seven participants (1150 person-visits) were analysed. Adjusting for race and other clinical covariates, every 10% increase in self-reported 3 month ART adherence was associated with an average TFV-DP concentration increase in DBSs of 28% (95% CI: 24%–32%; P &lt; 0.0001). In the same model, female participants had 20% (95% CI: 3%–40%; P = 0.02) higher TFV-DP concentrations in DBSs, compared with male participants, and every 1 kg/m2 increase in BMI was associated with a decrease in TFV-DP concentration in DBSs by 2% (95% CI: −3% to −1%; P &lt; 0.0001).ConclusionsIndividual patient characteristics were predictive of TFV-DP concentration in DBSs in PLWH receiving tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-based ART. Future research to incorporate these predictors into the interpretation of this ART adherence biomarker, and to establish whether these associations extend to PLWH taking tenofovir alafenamide-containing ART, is needed.

AbstractThe effects of increasing weaning age in a commercial production system on nursery and finishing performance were evaluated. A total of 1,176 pigs (PIC 337 × Camborough) were used in a 136-d growth trial with 14 and 10 replications/weaning age on the nursery and finishing phases, respectively. Treatments included weaning litters at 19, 22, 25, or 28 d of age. In the nursery, as weaning age increased, initial (5.04, 5.70, 6.52, and 7.26 kg) and final body weight (BW) (18.2, 19.8, 23.0, and 25.1 kg) increased (linear, P &lt; 0.001). Increasing the weaning age reduced (linear, P &lt; 0.001) the prevalence of pigs exhibiting belly nosing (27.6%, 15.0%, 6.5%, and 1.4%) during the first 3 wk. The percentage of pigs losing weight during the first week after weaning (35.1%, 28.7%, 12.4%, and 9.2%) decreased (linear, P &lt; 0.001) as weaning age increased. Average daily gain (ADG; 295, 320, 374, 406 g/d) and average daily feed intake (493, 534, 619, 661 g/d) increased (linear, P &lt; 0.001), while feed efficiency (G:F) (596, 599, 604, and 615) tended to increase (linear, P = 0.081) with weaning age. Removal rate (8.01%, 3.79%, 2.29%, and 1.65%) declined (linear, P = 0.001) as weaning age increased, while there was no evidence of difference (P = 0.463) in mortality rate (0.71%, 0.36%, 0.96%, 1.04%). In the finishing period, BW at 136 d post-weaning (114.9, 117.8, 124.7, and 126.5 kg) and ADG (1.02, 1.04, 1.08, and 1.07 kg/d) improved (linear, P &lt; 0.001). There was no evidence of differences (P &gt; 0.24) in removal (1.5%, 2.4%, 1.0%, and 0.0%) or mortality rates (0.9%, 1.0%, 1.0%, and 1.4%) with changes in weaning age. When performance was analyzed at a common day of life (164 d of age), no effects of weaning age (P &gt; 0.25) were found for BW (125.2, 124.4, 128.0, and 126.5 kg) and lifetime ADG (growth rate from birth to market) (754, 751, 774, and 762 g/d). The BW sold per pig weaned increased (linear, P &lt; 0.001) with weaning age. Even though the slope indicated a linear response, the magnitude of improvement was high until 25 d, before exhibiting diminishing returns from 25 to 28 d. Thus, the study suggests that increasing the weaning age can be an effective strategy to improve the overall performance in a commercial system. Although lifetime performance was not affected by the weaning age range studied, the consistent effect in the nursery and the increment in the number of pigs reaching the market facilitated by the improvement in the removal rate in the nursery phase imply that 25 d is the optimal weaning age.
