Mechanism of Pile-Soil Relative Vertical Displacement under the Freeze-Thaw Action
Authors: Zhang Ze , Feng Wenjie , Zhang Hu , Shi Xiangyang , Ming Jiao 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
To effectively mitigate the risk of freeze-thaw disasters, the lines, poles, and piles in point-line constructions need be deployed with careful consideration of the compaction degree control of backfilled soil. Vertical displacements of soil and piles occur at the same time under freeze-thaw action, thereby making it difficult to determine the frost heave and thaw subsidence of piles. To solve this problem, we monitored the vertical displacements of piles and soil simultaneously and found that the pile-soil interaction differs, depending on the variances in backfill density. Such displacement also ultimately results in “pile-soil” system modification synchronization. To determine the vertical displacement of the pile foundation, one must first determine the relative displacement of the pile and soil. This work presents serial experimental results and verifies experimentally that an optimal degree of soil compaction exists in which the pile shows minimal changes in its vertical displacement.

Published: September 2018

Abstract
Pervious concrete is a kind of porous material composed of a series of interconnected pores and solid skeletons. Although the research on the basic mechanical properties of pervious concrete has already been performed, the depth and breadth of research are not enough, especially regarding the fatigue fracture characteristics of pervious concrete. In this article, three-point flexural monotonic, cyclic, and fatigue tests of notched specimens are carried out. The mechanical characteristics of pervious concrete are studied on the basis of the mechanism of fracture. Both the effects of loading rates on the fracture mechanics and the effective crack length and the fracture toughness of pervious concrete are investigated. Additionally, on the basis of the crack propagation model proposed by Kolluru et al., the relationship between the crack propagation rate and the effective crack length of pervious concrete relative to flexural fatigue tests is obtained. In addition, the acoustic emission technique is used to monitor the cracking process of pervious concrete. The results indicate that the crack propagation law is similar to that of the acoustic hits. Both indeed show three stages.

A supplementary description of Brisaster iheringi (Spatangoida: Schizasteridae) from the Miocene of Patagonia Argentina
Authors: Martínez Sergio , Del Río Claudia J. 
Published: September 2018

Neogene Argentinean echinoids are important biostratigraphic tools. New specimens of Schizaster iheringi (de Loriol, 1902) from Early Miocene sedimentites (Chenque Formation, Patagonia, Argentina) allowed us to improve its original description, providing for the first time details of the apical disc and the oral side of test. The species is included into the genus Brisaster: the first unquestionable documented reference to the taxon from the Neogene of Argentina. All previously reported specimens of this species are evaluated, concluding that the stratigraphic range of the genus Brisaster in Patagonia must be restricted to the Early Miocene. Rev. Biol. Trop. 65(Suppl. 1): S137-S146. Epub 2017 November 01.

Review of perchlorate occurrence in large public drinking water systems in the United States of America
Authors: Luis Steven J. , Miesner Elizabeth A. , Enslin Clarissa L. , Heidecorn Keith 
Published: September 2018

AbstractWhen deciding whether or not to regulate a chemical, regulatory bodies often evaluate the degree to which the public may be exposed by evaluating the chemical's occurrence in food and drinking water. As part of its decision-making process, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) evaluated the occurrence of perchlorate in public drinking water by sampling public water systems (PWSs) as part of the first implementation of the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 1) between 2001 and 2005. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the current representativeness of the UCMR 1 dataset. To achieve this objective, publicly available sources were searched to obtain updated perchlorate data for the majority of large PWSs with perchlorate detections under UCMR 1. Comparison of the updated and UCMR 1 perchlorate datasets shows that the UCMR 1 dataset is no longer representative because the extent and degree of occurrence has decreased since implementation of UCMR 1. Given this finding, it seems appropriate for regulatory bodies engaged in decision-making processes over several years to periodically re-evaluate the conditions that prompted the regulatory effort, thereby ensuring that rules and regulations address actual conditions of concern.

Published: September 2018

Black pod rot disease (BPRD) which is caused by Phytophthora palmivora is one of the main diseases of cocoa cultivations particularly in plantations with wet climate. Black pod rot can develop rapidly under high humidity environments, particularly during rainy seasons. This disease can cause loss of harvest of up to 46.63% in East Java. The various control efforts attempted so far have not resulted in significant improvements. Urea, in addition to functioning as fertilizer, can also produce the ammonia gas which is believed to be able to suppress black pod rot. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of black pod rot control using the combination of lime and urea. This research was conducted from June to September 2013. The materials used in test included sterile soil, black pod rot infected cocoa, urea, and agricultural lime. Observation results showed that ammonia could form from urea. Lime can increase the speed of the formation. The ammonia gas forming from 0.06% urea and 0.3% lime can control the P. palmivora fungus inside the soil. Key words: Pod rot, P. palmivora, urea, lime, ammonia

AbstractThis experiment aims to know the solar energy efficiency of four clones of cocoa that cultivated under three different shading plants. This experiment has been done from September until December 2013 located at Kaliwining Experiment Farm with characteristic 45 m above sea level, soil type is low humic gley, soil texture is silty clay loam, and climate classification type D based on Scmidht and Fergusson Classification. This experiment used Nested Design as Experimental Design with species of shading plant as main plot which are Teak (Tectona grandis L.), Krete (Cassia surattensis (Burm.) F.), Lamtoro (Leucaena leucocephala L.) and Cocoa clones as sub plot which are Sulawesi 1, Sulawesi 2, KKM 22, KW 165. The observation of solar energy efficiency consists of daily solar radiation intensity, solar radiation intensity above plant, solar radiation intensity under plant, and also plant total dry weight. The experimental result showed that there is differences (heterogenity) between shading location based on homogenity test by Bartlett Method. There are some interaction between the kind of shading plant and clones in parameter of interception efficiency, absorbtion efficiency, the efficiency of solar energy that caught by plant, and solar energy conversion efficiency. The efficiency of solar energy that caught by plant will affect the solar energy conversion efficiency with R2 = 0,86.

Distribution Pattern of Coffee Berry Borer (Hypothenemus Hampei) on Arabica and Robusta Coffee
Authors: Wiryadiputra Soekadar 
Published: September 2018

Coffee berry borer [CBB, Hypothenemus hampei (Ferr.)] is the main pest on coffee causing a significant losses. Distribution pattern of the pest is not known deeply until now, especially in Indonesia. The data of distribution pattern of pest is very important in constructing the strategy of integrated pest management, especially to determine a sampling method for monitoring of the pest. This experiment aimed to reveal the distribution pattern of CBB both spatially and vertically. The experiment was conducted on Arabica and Robusta coffee, located in Kalibendo estate in Banyuwangi East Java. A plot with 400 (20 x 20) of coffee trees were observed for infestation and population of CBB, at four branches on south, north, east and west directions for each tree. Collected data were analyzed to obtain the value of mean, variance (=s2), variance/mean relationship (=I), index of Morisita (=Iδ), coefficient of Green (=Cx) and k exponent of Negative Binomial. Results of the experiment revealed that spatial distribution pattern of CBB, both on Arabica an Robusta coffee, as well as for infestation and population parameters, was fit with aggregated or clumped distribution. For vertical distribution, it inclined that CBB infestation and population in the lower part of coffee tree was higher than in central and upper part of coffee tree. Plenty of infested coffee berries leaved on soil surface may result in higher infestation and population in the lower part.Key words: Arabica coffee, Robusta coffee, Hypothenemus hampei, spatial distribution, vertical distribution.
