Published: July 2018

A notary in exercising powers to make an authentic deed is required to read it before an interlocutor as it is set in Article 16 paragraph (1) letter (m) Notary Act. The problem that arises is that, in some cases, notaries are not the only persons who exercise such duties. In fact, such role is often replaced by their staffs on duties entitled to them. It asserts that Notary Act is not extremely obeyed with following effects of the absence of laws in Notary Act which is specifically dealt with the role of notary’s staffs. This study uses empirical legal research with sociological jurisprudence approach. The result shows that a notary has attributive powers from Notary Act which is granted rights or powers to authorize staffs to act and exercize notary’s duties. To adhere with this view, a notary deed is seen as a perfect evidence if a notary did not accomplish certain procedures. However, if a notary cannot prove it, the declaration of a privately made deed should be made by judges of the courts. If there is any disadvantage as the result of deed read by staffs, a notary can be sued in the courts to provide compensation or certain terms as constituted in Article 1365 of the Civil Code, including maerial and immaterial compensations.

Pemenuhan Hak atas Informasi Publik sebagai Tanggung Jawab Negara dalam Mewujudkan Good Governance
Authors: Muhshi Adam 
Published: July 2018

There are two legal issues proposed in this study, inter alia, the nature of the right to public information and state's responsibility for the fulfillment of the right to public information. This study uses legal research with statute and conceptual approaches. The results of this study shows that the right to public information becomes part of the human rights as guaranteed by the 1945 Constitution. Public information has become a logical consequence of the obligation of the state to account for the implementation of its government to the citizens as its main purpose is to ensure the accountability and credibility of public institutions through the provision of information and documents at the public request so that the principle of information disclosure is one component in the realization of good governance. As a constitutional right of citizens, it also shows that ‘a contrario’ the fulfillment of public information is the responsibility of the state. According to this view, the fulfillment of the right to public information is not only related to obligations, but the content must be true and provided openly and honestly. It concludes that the fulfillment of public information conducted openly and honestly will contribute to an attempt to realize good governance

Authors: Ponciano Ana , Vieira Vera , Leite José , Fernandes Célio 
Published: July 2018

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is an encephalopathy that can be clinically characterized by headache, altered mental status and/or seizures. Neuroimaging demonstrates usually reversible bilateral subcortical vasogenic occipital-parietal edema. Exact pathophysiology remains unclear but is commonly associated with hypertension, renal failure, sepsis and use of immunosuppressive therapy. Its development in the setting of severe hypercalcemia is extremely rare. The authors report a case of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in a normotensive patient with severe hypercalcemia as the only identifiable cause.
Extension of Capacitance/Resistance Model to Tracer Flow for Determining Reservoir Properties
Authors: Naudomsup Nuntha , Lake Larry W. 
Published: July 2018

SummarySeveral tools and techniques exist to understand distributions of reservoir properties. Interwell tracer testing is one of the most common methods to obtain reservoir information from the amount of tracer produced. The capacitance/resistance model (CRM) is an analytical tool to estimate connectivity between producer/injector pairs from historical rates and, when available, bottomhole-pressure data in waterfloods. Because the CRM is a physically based, simple input/output model, its combination with tracer testing can provide insight into reservoir features.To enable the CRM application to tracer flow, we incorporated tracer models, based on miscible-displacement theory, into the CRM. Reservoir properties are estimated as a result of the model fitting to produced-tracer data. In this paper, we present three tracer models: a dispersion-only (short-range autocorrelation) model, a Koval (long-range) model, and a combination of the two. To incorporate the tracer models into the CRM, we used two methods, serial fitting (CRM then tracers) and simultaneous fitting (CRM and tracers).We applied these techniques to tracer data from 10 injectors and 10 producers of the Lawrence Field. Results suggest that interwell connectivity obtained from the CRM is in good agreement with the observed peak-tracer concentrations. All tracer models are capable of giving a good fit in most of the cases. After comparing the tracer models, we determined that the combined model can represent a tracer flow better than the other two models alone. We also found that the simultaneous-fitting method gives the best fit to total producer-rate data and tracer data. Simultaneous fitting mitigates the nonuniqueness of the fits, leading to an improvement of tracer matching. The reservoir properties obtained in this study (Koval factor and dispersion coefficient) also were analyzed and compared with those from previous measurements.
Yield and Nitrogen Use Efficiency of Sweet Potato in Response to Cover Crop and Nitrogen Management

Published: July 2018

Core Ideas
Legumes improved N supply for sweet potato grown subsequently.
Mucuna aterrima supply more N to sweet potato than other cover crops.
Previous legume cultivation reduces 35.2% the mineral N rate on sweet potato.
Higher mineral N rate increased growth of sweet potato vines.
Selected cover crops can provide N to sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam) crops cultivated in succession and reduce the need for mineral N application. This study was conducted to determine the growth, leaf N concentration, N uptake, N removal, storage root yield, and N‐use efficiency of sweet potato crop in response to different cover crop sources and mineral N fertilizer rates. A field experiment was performed over 2 agricultural yr using a randomized complete block design with split‐plots and four replications. Whole plots consisted of four cover crops: One control (spontaneous weeds), two legumes (Crotalaria spectabilis and Mucuna aterrima), and one cereal (Pennisetum glaucum). Subplots consisted of four N rates (0, 50, 100, and 200 kg ha−1) applied to the sweet potato. When no N was applied, M. aterrima supplied more N to sweet potato grown in succession but had the same effect as C. spectabilis on root yield. P. glaucum and spontaneous weeds had the same effect on the N supply and performance of sweet potato. The N rates for the optimum root yield of sweet potato were 49.6 and 76.6 kg N ha−1 when grown after legume and non‐legume species. In tropical conditions, the use of legumes as cover crops reduced the need for mineral N fertilizers by up to 35.2% for sweet potato. The cultivation history of a field should be an important consideration when determining the N fertilization for sweet potato because a high N supply favored the growth of vegetative plant parts.
Effects of Pyraclostrobin Foliar Fungicide, Corn Hybrid, and Harvest Timing on Stalk Health of Corn
Authors: Shelby Ryan J. , Villamil María B. , Ames Keith A. , Bradley Carl A. 
Published: July 2018

Core Ideas
A foliar fungicide applied at the corn tasseling stage can reduce stalk rot severity but is likely related to control of foliar diseases.
If corn harvest is delayed, stalk rot severity can increase.
Corn hybrids with resistance to gray leaf spot may have reduced stalk rot compared with susceptible hybrids.
The use of foliar‐applied fungicides on corn (Zea mays) in the United States has been heralded as a way to improve stalk health. Our goal was to provide evidence whether the use of pyraclostrobin fungicide provided benefits beyond managing foliar diseases of corn, such as gray leaf spot (caused by Cercospora zeae‐maydis). Field trials evaluating the response of four corn hybrids at two harvest times to the foliar application of pyraclostrobin fungicide applied at tassel stage were conducted near Champaign, IL in three consecutive years (2008–2010). The selected corn hybrids were either susceptible (‘H‐8838’ and ‘H‐8939’) or moderately resistant (‘H‐8852’ and ‘H‐8953’) to gray leaf spot. In addition, each set of hybrids represented “sister” lines, with H‐8939 and H‐8953 containing transgenic Bt traits for European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) and corn rootworm (Diabrotica spp.) control. Plots were harvested at two different times when seed moisture concentration was approximately 25% or 3 to 4 weeks later. Stalk health was evaluated immediately prior to harvest by splitting the stalks open and visually rating stalk rot using a 0 to 5 severity scale. In general, corn hybrids that were susceptible to gray leaf spot had greater stalk rot severity than those that were moderately resistant to gray leaf spot. Within “sister” lines, no stalk rot differences were observed between Bt and non‐Bt hybrids. Stalk rot severity generally was greater at the second harvest date compared with the first harvest date. In general, plots treated with pyraclostrobin had reduced stalk rot severity compared with non‐treated plots.

Published: July 2018

Manure‐based soil amendments (MBSAs) must be managed optimally to maximize N concentration and availability while minimizing environmental impacts (e.g., greenhouse gas [GHG]) emissions. We conducted an 83‐d incubation study to determine the effects of different moisture (60 or 120% of water‐holding capacity [WHC]) and temperature (4 or 20°C) conditions during the decomposition of MBSAs. We measured CO2, CH4, and N2O emissions and total C, total N, NH4+, and NO3− during the decomposition of chicken MBSA and two understudied MBSAs (turkey and horse). Total N decreased by 38 to 50% after 83 d in poultry MBSAs incubated at 20°C and 120% WHC, whereas NH4+ concentration peaked at 30 d. In contrast, poultry MBSAs incubated at 60% WHC or 4°C had limited N losses but higher CO2 and/or N2O emissions. Horse MBSA incubated for 83 d at 20°C and 60% WHC had two‐ to threefold higher C losses, 53 to 68% higher total N, and two to three orders of magnitude higher NO3− concentrations than at wetter and/or colder incubation conditions. Horse MBSA incubated at 20°C and 60% WHC had 13‐ to 130‐fold (CH4) and 4‐ to 70‐fold (N2O) higher emissions than horse MBSA incubated at 4°C. In contrast, CH4 emissions peaked at 120% WHC and 20°C. Overall, incubating horse MBSA at 20°C and 60% WHC minimized tradeoffs between maximizing N concentration and availability and minimizing GHG emissions during decomposition, whereas we found no ideal decomposition conditions for poultry MBSAs.Core Ideas
We found high N losses in flooded poultry manure‐based soil amendments (MBSAs) at 20°C.
We found high GHG emissions in poultry MBSAs with lower moisture or temperature.
There was an increase in horse MBSA total N concentration during incubations at lower moisture and 20°C.
An Integrated Approach to Identify Critical Source Areas of Agricultural Nonpoint‐Source Pollution at the Watershed Scale

Published: July 2018

Nonpoint sources are difficult to control because their nutrient contribution from different parts of a watershed can vary substantially. Identifying critical source areas of nutrient loss is an important step in watershed pollution mitigation programs. This study sought to use an integrated index model to differentiate between subbasins that serve as critical source areas of N and P nonpoint sources of pollution in China's Tiaoxi watershed. In contrast with previous N and P indices, multiple sources of pollution (i.e., agronomic activity, domestic wastewater, livestock farming, and aquaculture) were considered. Nitrogen and P source factors (i.e., N and P annual export loads) and transport factors were multiplied to determine the overall risk of nutrient loss in the integrated index model. Critical source areas were identified by a higher nutrient loss index. Of the 92 subbasins within the Tiaoxi watershed, 13 were determined to be critical sources for N, 10 for P, and seven for both N and P. Critical source area identification corresponds well with water quality data from the subbasins. The results show the potential use of the integrated index model for prioritizing and targeting watershed pollution mitigation activities at the subbasin level.Core Ideas
Multiple nonpoint sources are included in an integrated index model.
Critical source areas are identified by higher nutrient loss indices.
The model provides information to target watershed pollution mitigation activities.

Core Ideas
Alpine desert had higher soil δ13C and δ15N than alpine meadow and steppe.
Soil δ13C and δ15N increased with depth in the alpine grasslands.
Land degradation enriched the soil δ13C in the alpine steppe.
Land degradation enhanced the soil δ15N in alpine desert.
Plant and soil features were key for the dynamics of the soil δ13C and δ15N.
Estimation of natural isotopic abundances can integrate across biogeochemical processes affecting the carbon and nitrogen dynamics in an ecosystem. Here, we investigated the natural isotopic abundances (δ13C and δ15N) of the soil in healthy and degraded alpine ecosystems, including alpine meadow, alpine steppe, and alpine desert on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau (QTP). We also examined the effects of plant factors and soil chemical and physical factors on the soil δ13C and δ15N in these alpine ecosystems of the QTP. The results indicated that the soil δ13C and δ15N varied significantly with the grassland type, the land degradation, and soil depth. The C4‐plant dominated alpine desert was much higher in the soil δ13C and δ15N than the C3‐plant dominated alpine meadow and alpine steppe. Along the soil depth of 0 to 30 cm, the δ13C and δ15N were enriched in all types of the alpine ecosystems. The land degradation lowered the plant cover, aboveground plant biomass, soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil total nitrogen (TN) in all alpine ecosystems. Land degradation enriched the soil δ13C in the alpine steppe and the soil δ15N in alpine desert by changing their interactions with the plant and soil features.
