Above -ground interaction was examined by installing a series of weather stations in different zones of the alleys and control plots for monitoring the microclimatic changes. Shade behaviour (direction and length) was monitored in a systematic way and at regular intervals. Results showed that the solar irradiance in alleycropping plots was reduced by 37 %. Average reduction in maximum and minimum temperature was 1.4◦C and 0.7◦C respectively, while increase in relative humidity was 8 %. The wind speed was 66 % of the control; Irrigation water used in the alleycropping plots was 27 % less than that used in control plots. The monitored climatic factors had substantial effects on crops behaviour and yields. The southern zone of the alley was permanentl...

Problems that are often faced include the completion of the Construction Service Business Permit (IUJK) not on time and business actors do not understand the operation of the OSS system, which results in licensing services through the OSS not yet maximized. This study is to determine the quality of licensing services through OSS at the DPMPPTSP Binjai City and to find out the inhibiting factors for the implementation of licensing through OSS at the Binjai City DPMPPTSP. This research method uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The results of this study indicate the quality of licensing services through OSS at DPMPPTSP of Binjai City which is ...

Deteksidini terhadap anemia pada bayi terutama bayi dengan risiko tinggi sangat diperlukanuntuk mencapai tumbuh kembang optimal.Tujuan: untuk mengetahui prevalensi anemia defisiensi besi.Bahan dan cara metode: studi deskriptif belah lintang dilakukan di empat Puskesmasdi Jakarta Timur. Populasi sampel adalah bayi umur 4-12 bulan yang tinggal di wilayahKecamatan Matraman dan sekitarnya pada bulan Maret 2004. Sampling diambil denganmetode convenient, pengumpulan data dengan pengisian kuesioner oleh ibu bayi secaraterpimpin. Pengukuran di lakukan pada panjang badan, berat badan, lingkar kepalabayi. Pemeriksaan kadar hemoglobin menggunakan Hemocue®, sedangkan serum feritindiperiksa di laboratorium SEAMEO-TROPMED FKUI.Hasil: sampel terdiri dari 55 bayi, 63,6% laki-laki, 58,2% berumur 8-12 bulan, dan87,3% berasal dari keluarga dengan pendapatan per kapita per bulan rendah.

Using approximately 230 pb-1 of data collected with the RunII D0 detector, we observe 522±100 X(3872) candidates. The mass difference between the X(3872) state and the J/ψ is measured to be 774.9±3.1(stat)±3.0(syst) MeV/c2. We have investigated the production and decay characteristics of the X(3872) and find them to be similar to those of the ψ(2S) state.

We used MNs from G93AhSOD1 and nontransgenic embryonic cultures and adult mice to analyze the expression of the main mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU). MCU was overexpressed in cultured embryonic G93AhSOD1 MNs compared to nontransgenic MNs but downregulated in MNs from adult G93AhSOD1 mice. Furthermore, cultured embryonic G93AhSOD1 were rescued from kainate-induced excitotoxicity by the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type II inhibitor; KN-62, which reduced MCU expression in G93AhSOD1 MNs. MCU activation via kaempferol neither altered MCU expression nor influenced MN survival. However, its acute application served as a fine tool to study spontaneous Ca2+ activity in cultured neurons which was significantly altered by the mutated hSOD1. Pharmacological manipulation of MCU expression might open new possibilities to fight excitotoxic damage in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
