Computer-Mediated Communication: A vehicle for learning
Authors: Grooms Linda D. 
Published: November 2016

<p>The axiom of humanity’s basic need to communicate provides the impetus to explore the nature and quality of computer-mediated communication as a vehicle for learning in higher education. This exploratory study examined the experiential communication perceptions of online doctoral students during the infancy of their program. Eighty-five students were electronically queried through a 32 item open-ended questionnaire within a 13 day time frame. Preliminary findings supported the experience of Seagren and Watwood (1996) at the Lincoln Campus of the University of Nebraska, that “more information widens learning opportunities, but without interaction, learning is not enhanced” (p. 514). The overarching implications stress that faculty development and instructional planning are essential for the effective delivery of online courses, and even more so when collaborative learning is used. Facilitating group communication and interaction are areas beckoning attention as we continue to effectively organize the online classroom of this new millennium.</p>

A Bank Credit Model with Capital-Constrained Newsvendor Under Two Ordering Opportunities
Authors: Zhao Deli , Zhang Baofeng , Wang Zongshui 
Published: November 2016

AbstractThis paper proposes a financing system consisting of a bank under Mean-Variance criterion and a capital-constrained retailer, where the bank offers an unlimited credit to the retailer. The demand is assumed to be stochastic. The newsvendor is allowed to make an emergency order with a minimum reorder quantity threshold (RQT). It shows that under RQT, the newsvendor has different reorder strategies. The optimal primary order quantity and interest rate are derived, sequentially. Extension under perfectly competitive capital market is given. The mathematic model reveals that RQT and reorder price have significant effect on the optimal strategies.
Infill-Well Fracturing Optimization in Tightly Spaced Horizontal Wells
Authors: Safari Reza , Lewis Richard , Ma Xiaodan , Mutlu Uno , Ghassemi Ahmad 
Published: November 2016

Summary
Cost-effective production from unconventional reservoirs relies on creating new reservoir surface area where fractures are extended into and produce from undepleted zones. Field observations indicate that infill-well fractures could propagate toward nearby producers and depleted zones. This communication between infill and producer wells has been seen to cause casing collapse, and negatively affect current production levels. In this paper, an integrated reservoir/geomechanics/fracture work flow is established to optimize infill-well treatment schedule and to minimize fracture communication between wells. In particular, the paper presents: (i) numerical evaluation of depletion-induced stress changes between tightly spaced producers, (ii) hydraulic-fracture curving in a perturbed stress field, and (iii) hydraulic-fracture communication between wells, and infill-well treatment-design optimization to maximize production.
A systematic study of depletion effects and the key parameters that control fracture curving allows us to improve the infill-well fracture design by minimizing the communication between wells while maximizing the hydraulic-fracture extent. Depletion perturbs the in-situ stress tensor in the formation around fractured horizontal wells. The analysis shows that the perturbed-stress field is a function of stress/formation anisotropy, fluid mobility, pore pressure, operating bottomhole pressure (BHP), and Biot's constant. A fracture-propagation model, coupled with the altered in-situ stress field, is used to predict the hydraulic-fracture propagation path(s) and their radius of curvature (i.e., if the stress state dictates that the fractures should curve). The analyses are performed for different infill-well treatment schedule(s), and yield the most-likely fracture geometries (taking into account uncertainties in a shale formation). Resulting infill-well fracture geometries are imported into a reservoir simulator to quantify the production and to identify the optimal design parameters.
The coupled work flow (reservoir/geomechanics/fracture) is then applied to a field example to demonstrate the feasibility of its application at the reservoir scale. The results show that (a) infill-well fractures between tightly spaced horizontal wells can intentionally be curved and (b) communication between wells and fracture-coverage area can be controlled by adjusting stimulation parameters to maximize recovery. Forward coupled modeling can be useful in guiding when to drill infill wells before the altered-stress state negatively affects production outcome.
Identification of the Most Sensitive Parameters of Winter Wheat on a Global Scale for Use in the EPIC Model

Published: November 2016

Core Ideas
Using computer technology, crop models are widely used in agricultural research and applications.
Sensitivity analysis can screen sensitive parameters to calibrate the EPIC model for different regions.
WA, HI, and TBS had a greater influence on simulated wheat yield than other parameters.
Elevation had a higher impact on the sensitivity of crop parameters, especially on TBS (0.53) and HI (–0.47).
These results can increase the efficiency of regional calibration of the EPIC model on a large scale.
The purpose of this study was to identify the most sensitive parameters (MSPs) of the Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) model for winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) simulations across the globe. First, 48 crop parameters related to the growth process of winter wheat were selected from the EPIC model. The range and distribution were assigned to each crop parameter. Second, a number of samples of parameter combinations (SPCs) were generated, containing 48 random values of model parameters for each grid. Winter wheat yields were simulated to correspond with the SPCs. Then the SPCs and 10‐yr average yields were used in a sensitivity analysis that utilized the Extended Fourier Amplitude Sensitivity Test approach. The results showed that harvest index (HI), biomass/energy ratio (WA), and base temperature for plant growth (TBS) were the common MSPs worldwide, and they affected 73, 71, and 70% of the grids, respectively. Sensitive parameters vary among different regions and may be affected by environmental factors. Elevation influences the winter wheat sensitive parameters greatly. The results can serve as a reference for calibrating the EPIC model in different regions to increase the calibration’s efficiency on a large scale. The sensitivity analysis of crop parameters in different regions at a global scale is especially conducive to model calibration in regions lacking experimental data or a priori knowledge and can improve the accuracy of the model when adjusting different parameters in different regions.
Under‐ or Over‐Application of Nitrogen Impact Corn Yield, Quality, Soil, and Environment
Authors: Sadeghpour Amir , Ketterings Quirine M. , Godwin Gregory S. , Czymmek Karl J. 
Published: November 2016

Core Ideas
Nitrogen application mid‐season cannot overcome drought stress later in the season.
Except for crude protein, under‐application of N did not impact forage quality.
Soil organic matter decreases in a chisel‐disked corn silage system regardless of N fertilizer rate.
Use of compost, cover crops, and conservation tillage can offset soil organic matter losses.
Under‐applying N by 30 kg N ha−1 was economically more detrimental than over‐applying.
Under‐ or over‐application of N fertilizer to corn (Zea mays L.) has adverse economic and environmental consequences. A 5‐yr study was conducted to determine the impact of N fertilizer on corn silage yield, quality, soil properties, farm economics, and nitrogen‐use efficiency (NUE). Corn silage yields were 12.9, 14.2, and 14.7 Mg ha−1 with most economic rate of nitrogen (MERN) of 90, 95, and 114 kg N ha−1 in 2001, 2003, and 2004 (the three responsive years), respectively. In 2002 and 2005 (non‐responsive years), yields averaged 9.1 Mg ha−1. Yield increased by 3.3 Mg ha−1 with each 10 cm of precipitation in July and August. At the MERN, NUE ranged from 16 (2001) to 25.8 kg DM kg N−1 (2004), reflected in greater soil NO3–N (0–20‐cm depth) at harvest in 2001 as well (23 vs. 8.9 mg kg−1 in 2004). Soil NO3–N at silage harvest in responsive years ranged from 8.9 (2004) to 23 mg kg−1 (2001) in 2001 and in non‐responsive years averaged 22 mg kg−1. Soil NO3–N at harvest was not a good indicator of crop N responsiveness or NUE. Nitrogen addition beyond the MERN decreased NUE and soil pH, and increased crude protein (CP). Under‐application decreased CP and yield in N‐responsive years and increased NUE. Soil organic matter (SOM) was decreased regardless of N rate. Overall, application of 30 kg N ha−1 below the MERN was economically more detrimental than fertilizing the same amount above the MERN.
Switchgrass Biomass Quality as Affected by Nitrogen Rate, Harvest Time, and Storage

Published: November 2016

Core Ideas
Switchgrass, being an efficient perennial biofuel crop, can be used as an alternative to fossil fuels and help in the sustainability of energy. Thus, it is important that we understand the effect of storing switchgrass for extended periods of time.
Storing switchgrass for an extended period may have an impact on quality and yield.
Storing switchgrass in bales or as a standing crop in the field are two storage methods assessed in this study.
The purpose of this study was to assess the changes in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) biomass quality as affected by N rate, harvest time, and storage. This research was conducted near Bristol, SD, in 2010 and 2011. Treatments included three N rates (0, 56, and 112 kg N ha−1) applied annually and each N rate replicated four times. After a killing frost, all of the plots were harvested and baled in large round bales in October 2010 and November 2011. An area of about 30 m2 from each plot was left unharvested to represent storage of standing switchgrass over the winter and to determine dry matter yields. Switchgrass was analyzed for hemicellulose, cellulose, lignin, mineral elements, N, and C. In the first season, storage of the fall harvested switchgrass bales numerically increased the concentrations of hemicellulose, lignin, and N. In the second season, they increased significantly. Mineral elements significantly increased in both sampling seasons. Delaying harvest until spring decreased lignin, N, and mineral elements concentration, and increased cellulose and hemicellulose concentrations, but also reduced biomass yield. Results from this study suggest that delaying the switchgrass harvest until spring increased the overall feedstock quality for ethanol production, but yield reductions must be considered to determine the overall economic impact of a delayed harvest.

Pada edisi kali ini, Vol. IV No.1, Juli 2016, Jurnal Poetika secara spesifik mengangkat tema Gender sebagai bahan pembahasannya. Aspek penting dalam studi Gender tidak lepas sejarah pemikiran feminis abad ke-19 senantiasa berkutat pada relasi oposisi, yakni siapa yang berkuasa dan siapa yang mengalami opresi kekuasaan, juga pada relasi posisi—siapa subjek dan siapa objek. Perkembangan kehidupan sosial manusia memberikan pengaruh tersendiri pada perkembangan ideologi terkait gerakan feminisme itu sendiri. Feminisme radikal, liberal, sosial, agama, dll, menggambarkan adanya perbedaan dalam menanggapi kompleksitas perkembangan kehidupan. Perbedaan tersebut seakan mengembalikan satu keadaan dimana gerakan perempuan dipertanyakan ulang atas suara- suara perempuan yang diperjuangkan. Namun di sisi lain, hal tersebut juga menambah khazanah pengetahuan yang memunculkan gambaran-gambaran ketimpangan yang dialami oleh perempuan di berbagai aspek kehidupan. Melalui berbagai perspektif, enam tulisan dalam jurnal ini mencoba melihat secara mendalam wacana Gender dari banyak karya sastra.
