The discussion of this article is devoted to delineating the differences and even conflicting characteristics between these two sorts of the Japanese literature. Embedded within the two mentioned social and cultural groups of the Javanese, the priyayi and the santri, the two Javanese literature presented the discourses which are not only different but also disagreement between each other. In the nineteenth century Java, and also the Indonesian archipelago at large, due to the Dutcb colonial government, these mentioned two social and cultural of the Javanese developed into respectively distinct and even conflicting groups.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v9i3.662

Islam in Southeast Asia provides an example of how a religion develops within a community with a wide variety of ethnic groups. Instead of pushing the local cultures and traditions aside, Islam opens up itself to them and incorporates them into the web of universal Islam. Now one can see the difference of Islamic expressions in Melayw, Aceh, Bugis, Banten, Java, Bugis, Sunda, Patani, Mindanau, Brunai, etc.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v9i3.664

Published: May 2014

Objective The use of particulate bone graft (PBG) has become an accepted technique for filling cranial defects created during cranial vault expansion for craniosynostosis. However, the use of PBG may be a risk factor for postoperative infection. The aim of this study was to compare the rate of postoperative infection in patients who received particulate bone graft (PBG+) with that in patients who did not (PBG–). Design An Institutional Review Board–approved, retrospective, cohort study of consecutive patients was performed. Twenty-seven consecutive patients in the PBG– group were compared with 21 consecutive patients in the PBG+ group. The two cohorts were assessed for incidence of surgical-site infection. Results Statistical analysis was performed using the Fisher exact probability test. Surgical site infection occurred in none of the PBG– patients (0%) versus one of the PBG+ patients (4.76%). This difference in infection rates between the two cohorts was not statistically significant ( P = .4375). Conclusions Although there may be concern that PBG could serve as a facilitative medium for bacterial growth, this study demonstrates no statistically significant increase in infection rates with its use. Particulate bone grafting of cranial defects resulting from cranial vault expansion in craniosynostosis remains a useful and valuable technique.

Background: The aim of this randomized controlled clinical study is to investigate whether a modified surgical technique could provide better results for root coverage and greater amounts of keratinized tissue (KT) with the acellular dermal matrix graft (ADMG).Methods: Fifteen bilateral Miller Class I or II gingival recessions (GRs) were selected. The recessions were treated and assigned randomly to the test group (TG), and the contralateral recessions were assigned to the control group (CG). The ADMG was used in both groups with differences in the graft positioning between them. The following clinical parameters were measured before the surgeries and after 12 months: 1) probing depth; 2) relative clinical attachment level; 3) GR; 4) thickness of KT (TKT); and 5) KT width. A new parameter, the GR area (GRA), was measured in standardized photographs using a special device and software.Results: There was no significant difference between groups in KT width and TKT parameters at the 12‐month postoperative period. However, there was a significant difference between the gains in GR (ΔGR) and GRA (ΔGRA), favoring the TG after 12 months. The TG presented ΔGR = 3.04 ± 0.29 mm and ΔGRA= 38,919 ± 9,238 pixel square values (pix2), and the CG presented ΔGR= 2.61 ± 0.41 mm and ΔGRA= 22,245 ± 9,334 pix2 (P <0.05 and <0.001, respectively).Conclusions: Both techniques were successful. The TG treatment was more effective in reducing GR and GRA. The flap and graft position may be of importance in root coverage procedures outcome.

ABSTRACTGenomic selection offers great potential for increasing the rate of genetic improvement in plant breeding programs. This research used simulation to evaluate the effectiveness of different strategies for genotyping and phenotyping to enable genomic selection in early generation individuals (e.g., F2) in breeding programs involving biparental or similar (e.g., backcross or top cross) populations. By using phenotypes that were previously collected in other biparental populations, selection decisions could be made without waiting for phenotypes that pertain directly to the selection candidate to be collected, a process that would take at least three growing seasons. If these phenotypes were collected in biparental populations that were closely related to the selection candidates, only a small number of markers (e.g., 200–500) and a small number of phenotypes (e.g., 1000) were needed to achieve effective accuracy of estimated breeding values. If these phenotypes were collected in biparental populations that were not closely related to the selection candidates, as many as 10,000 markers and 5000 to 20,000 phenotypes were needed. Increasing marker density beyond 10,000 markers did not show benefit and in some scenarios reduced the accuracy of prediction. This study provides a guide, enabling resource allocation to be optimized between genotyping and phenotyping investment dependent on the population under development.
A Weighted AMMI Algorithm to Study Genotype‐by‐Environment Interaction and QTL‐by‐Environment Interaction

Published: May 2014

ABSTRACTGenotype‐by‐environment (G × E) interaction (GEI) and quantitative trait locus (QTL)‐by‐environment interaction (QEI) are common phenomena in multiple‐environment trials and represent a major challenge to breeders. The additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model is a widely used tool for the analysis of multiple‐environment trials, where the data are represented by a two‐way table of G × E means. For complete tables, least squares estimation for the AMMI model is equivalent to fitting an additive two‐way ANOVA model for the main effects and applying a singular value decomposition to the interaction residuals, thereby implicitly assuming equal weights for all G × E means. However, multiple‐environment data with strong GEI are often also characterized by strong heterogeneous error variation. To improve the performance of the AMMI model in the latter situation, we introduce a generalized estimation scheme, the weighted AMMI or W‐AMMI algorithm. This algorithm is useful for studying GEI and QEI. For QEI, the W‐AMMI algorithm can be used to create predicted values per environment that are subjected to QTL analysis. We compare the performance of this combined W‐AMMI and QTL mapping strategy to direct QTL mapping on G × E means and to QTL mapping on AMMI‐predicted values, again with QTL analyses for individual environments. Finally, we compare the W‐AMMI QTL mapping strategy, with a multi‐environment mixed model QTL mapping approach. Two data sets are used: (i) data from a simulated pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) back cross population using a crop growth model to relate genotypes to phenotypes in a nonlinear way, and (ii) the doubled‐haploid Steptoe × Morex barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) population. The QTL analyses on the W‐AMMI‐predicted values outperformed the QTL analyses on the G × E means and on the AMMI‐predicted values, and were very similar to the mixed model QTL mapping approach with regard to the number and location of the true positive QTLs detected, especially for QTLs associated with the interaction and for environments with higher error variance. W‐AMMI analysis for GEI and QEI provides an easy‐to‐use and robust tool with wide applicability.

ABSTRACTTo determine if present commercial broccoli cultivars meet the diverse needs of organic management systems, such as adaptation to low N input, mechanical weed management, and no chemical pesticide use, and to propose the selection environments for crop improvement for organic production, we compared horticultural trait performance of 23 broccoli cultivars (G) under two management (M) systems (organic and conventional) in two regions of the United States (Oregon and Maine), including spring and fall trials. In our trials, location and season had the largest effect on broccoli head weight, with Oregon outperforming Maine, and fall trials outperforming spring plantings. M main effects and G × M interactions were often small, but G × M × E (location and season) were large. Cultivars with both greater head weight and stability under conventional conditions generally had high head weight and stability under organic growing conditions, although there were exceptions in cultivar rank between management systems. Larger genotypic variances and somewhat increased error variances observed in organic compared with conventional management systems led to repeatability for head weight and other horticultural traits that were similar or even higher in organic compared with conventional conditions. The ratio of correlated response (predicting performance under organic conditions when evaluated in conventional conditions) to direct response (predicted performance in organic when evaluated under organic conditions) for all traits was close to but less than 1.0 with the exception of bead uniformity. This would imply that in most cases, direct selection in an organic environment could result in a more rapid genetic gain than indirect selection in a conventional environment.

ABSTRACTSoybean improvement via plant breeding has been critical for the success of the crop. The objective of this study was to quantify genetic change in yield and other traits that occurred during the past 80 yr of North American soybean breeding in Maturity Groups (MGs) II, III, and IV. Historic sets of 60 MG II, 59 MG III, and 49 MG IV soybean cultivars, released from 1923 to 2008, were evaluated in field trials conducted in 17 U.S. states and one Canadian province during 2010 to 2011. Averaged over 27 MG II and MG IV and 26 MG III site‐years of data, the estimated rates of yield improvement during the 80 yr were 23 kg ha–1 yr–1 for MGs II and III, and 20 kg ha–1 yr–1 for MG IV cultivars. However, a two‐segment linear regression model provided a better fit to the data and indicated that the average current rate of genetic yield gain across MGs is 29 kg ha–1 yr–1. Modern cultivars yielded more than old cultivars in all environments, but particularly in high‐yielding environments. New cultivars in the historic sets used in this study are shorter in height, mature later, lodge less, and have seeds with less protein and greater oil concentration. Given that on‐farm soybean yields in the United States are also increasing at a rate of 29 kg ha–1 yr–1, it can be inferred that continual release of greater‐yielding cultivars has been a substantive driver of the U.S. on‐farm realized yield increases.

ABSTRACTExcessive concentrations of P can lead to the deterioration of surface waters through eutrophication. This study was conducted to test the effectiveness of a trench filter system for P removal from runoff and to determine the effect of P fertilizer on P losses in runoff from bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon L. (Pers.)]. A total of 12 plots on a uniform 5% slope covered with ‘Astro’ bermudagrass mowed at 38 mm were used to collect pre‐ and postfiltered runoff from 14 natural or simulated precipitation events that occurred from March through September 2012. Runoff filtered by steel slag contained from 14.2 to 49.2% lower dissolved P concentrations than runoff filtered through an inert gravel control. The P concentrations in runoff from fertilized plots were always greater than unfertilized plots. The difference between P concentrations from the fertilized and unfertilized treatments tended to decline with each runoff event from 13.1 mg L–1 in an initial event after fertilization to 1.6 mg L–1, 133 d and nine runoff events later. Trench filter systems could be used to remove a portion of the P in runoff from turfgrass areas.

Published: May 2014

ABSTRACTAthletic field playing quality encompasses both aesthetics as well as athlete‐to‐surface interactions that can affect injury incidence. Legislation restricting the use of herbicides on athletic fields may lead to increases in problematic weeds, such as large crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis L.) and white clover (Trifolium repens L.), which could reduce athletic field playing quality and potentially increase potential for athletic injuries. Research was conducted at the University of Tennessee Center for Athletic Field Safety (Knoxville, TN) during 2012 to 2013 to evaluate the playing quality of large crabgrass and white clover compared with weed‐free hybrid bermudagrass (C. dactylon ⋅ C. transvaalensis Burtt‐Davy, ‘Tifway’). All plots (3 by 3 m) were maintained as monostands and subjected to 18 simulated traffic events with a Cady traffic simulator each autumn over 2 yr. Large crabgrass and white clover lost green cover approximately 12 times faster than hybrid bermudagrass in this study. Consequently, surface hardness values on large crabgrass and white clover plots were ∼48 to 52% higher than those measured on hybrid bermudagrass after 18 simulated traffic events were applied. Changes in both surface hardness and rotational resistance were significantly correlated (P < 0.0001) to changes in green cover following simulated traffic. Our findings indicate that groundcover domination by weeds, such as large crabgrass and white clover, compromises the aesthetics and safety of natural grass athletic fields. Additional research is needed to evaluate athletic field playing quality on polystands of hybrid bermudagrass, large crabgrass, and white clover to determine acceptable thresholds of weed cover for player safety. Information of this nature would be useful for justifying various weed control measures such as herbicide applications.
Genomewide Prediction Accuracy within 969 Maize Biparental Populations

Published: May 2014

ABSTRACTIn genomewide selection, the expected correlation between predicted and true genotypic values (rMG) has been previously derived as a function of the training population size (N), heritability (h2), and effective number of chromosome segments (Me) affecting the trait. Our objectives were to determine: (i) the mean and variability of rMG in 969 biparental maize (Zea mays L.) breeding populations for seven traits, (ii) if rMG can be predicted in advance, and (iii) how N, h2, and number of markers (NM) affect rMG. We modified a previous equation for expected rMG to account for linkage disequilibrium (r2) between a marker and a quantitative trait locus (QTL). Across the 969 populations, the mean and range (in parentheses) of observed rMG was 0.45 (−0.59, 1.03) for grain yield, 0.59 (−0.34, 0.96) for moisture, 0.55 (−0.24, 1.10) for test weight, 0.49 (−0.22, 1.04) for stalk lodging, 0.41 (−0.30, 0.93) for root lodging, 0.47 (−0.45, 0.97) for plant height, and 0.42 (−0.43, 0.94) for ear height. The observed rMG values were centered around the expected rMG when r2 was accounted for, but the observed rMG had a large spread around the expected rMG. The r2(Nh2)1/2 had the strongest association with observed rMG. When r2(Nh2)1/2 exceeded 8, the proportion of rMG equal to or larger than 0.50 reached 90% among all the population–trait combinations. We conclude it is difficult to predict rMG in advance, but that rules of thumb based on r2(Nh2)1/2 can help achieve a high rMG.

Published: May 2014

ABSTRACT: This study investigated occurrences of heterotrophic (HPC) bacteria and developed predictive models for HPC bacteria in plumbing pipes (PP) and hot water tanks (HWT) of two houses in Dhahran (Saudi Arabia). Heterotrophic bacteria in PP and HWT were observed to be 2.4 to 5.3 and 0.4 to 5.9 times the HPC bacteria in water distribution system (WDS), respectively. Three linear, one nonlinear, and one neural network models were investigated to predict HPC bacteria in PP and HWT. Significant factors for bacteria regrowth in PP and HWT were identified through numerical and graphical techniques. The R2 values of the models varied between 0.57 and 0.96, indicating moderate to excellent predictive ability for HPC bacteria in PP and HWT. The models were found to be statistically significant, which were also validated using additional data. These models can be used to predict HPC bacteria regrowth from WDS to PP and HWT, and could help to predict exposure and risks.
Systematic study of deformation effects on fusion cross-sections using various proximity potentials

Published: May 2014

Abstract
The influence of static quadrupole and hexadecapole (positive & negative) deformation of targets are studied using eleven different versions of nuclear potentials. The height and position of the interaction barrier for the reactions induced by spherical projectile (16O) on the deformed targets such as 166Er, 154Sm and 176Yb have been estimated. It is found that the nucleus-nucleus potential strongly depends on the value of the deformation parameters and orientation of the target. The experimental fusion cross-section of the reactions 16O + 176Yb, 16O +166Er and 16O +154Sm are investigated by applyingWong’s formula using various parameterizations of the proximity potential as well as an assessment of the results of a multi-dimensional barrier penetration model (BPM). The fusion cross-sections by Prox 77, Prox 88, Prox 00, Prox 00DP, Denisov DP, Bass 80, CW 76 and AW 95 potentials are found to be better than the rest in comparison to experimental data.
