Vertical (slopping)-ridge is generally applied to cultivate potato crop in tropical highland area with intensive use of non-organic fertilizer, by which the soil erosion as well as environmental degradation might be significantly accelerated. On the other hand, horizontal (contour)-ridge has been very effective to reduce the soil erosion in potato cropping field, but yet slightly ineffective to support the optimal crop production, due to the waterlogging in the ridge profile. Dimension of the horizontal-ridge is expected to affect water distribution as well as the waterlogged condition, on which a specific study need to be focused, in order to develop an appropriate drainage system on the ridge. This study was aimed to characterize the spatial distribution of soil water in the horizontal-ridge profile under various ridge dimensions. Totally 9-potato-plots of 300 x 300 cm2 with 5% slope were prepared in Serang village, Purbalingga with various dimensions and replications of the horizontal ridges: 30 x 30 x 30 cm3 (G30), 30 x 40 x 30 cm3 (G40), and 30 x 50 x 30 cm3 (G50). Of each plot, the dielectrically (volumetric)-water content of the horizontal-ridge soil within the grid of 80 x 80 cm2 at the depth of 5, 10, and 20 cm were measured every months using EC5 moisture sensors and EM50 data logger, and then averaged. Based on the given grid, the data were plotted in contour pattern and were then analysed using semivariogram (Gstat and GNUplot) to characterize the spatial distribution and variability, respectively. The results showed that the spatial distribution of dielectrically (volumetric)-water contents tended to be inter-correlated within each ridge dimension, and the data were increased with soil depth and ridge dimension increment. Accordingly, the data were spatially-correlated with sill (C, semivariance) ranged from 0.00084-0.00429 cm3 cm−3 and range of influence (a) ranged from 0.624 - 2.809 m, in which the G50 had most representative and stable trend of the s

Quantum tunneling phenomenon allows a high-barrier reaction to occur even though thermal energy is not sufficient to surmount the barrier. The phenomenon has been suggested to exist in the isomerization of methylhydroxycarbene which occured at 11 K. Here we study the quantum tunneling that occured in the isomerization of methylhydroxycarbene to acetaldehyde and to vinyl alcohol based on density functional calculations. The isomerization pathways are determined under the effect of various solvents which are modeled by polarizable continuum model (PCM). We use Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) approximation to calculate the tunneling probability (T) and extend the usefulness of T into isomerization rate. The results show that the solvents give a significant effect on the isomerization rate of methylhydroxycarbene to acetaldehyde but an insignificant one on the isomerization rate to vinyl alcohol.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of a bamboo-oriented strand board (BOSB) under various compression ratios. The raw material of BOSB was betung (Dendrocalamus asper) strand that steamed and followed by rinsing with a 1% NaOH solution. BOSB with the dimensions of 30 × 30 × 0.9 cm3 were manufactured with a compression ratio of five levels i.e. 1.15; 1.25; 1.35; 1.44; and 1.54. Three layers of BOSB were made with a shelling ratio of 50:50. Phenol formaldehyde (PF) adhesive (SC=43%) was added with 8% concentration, while paraffin was used as much as 1% of the dry weight of the oven strand. Strand geometry evaluation was carried out on 100 strands randomly. The physical and mechanical properties were evaluated according to JIS A 5908-2003. The results showed that relatively homogeny strand geometry in this research was suitable to manufacture of BOSB. Increasing in BOSB compression ratio up to 1.54 increased mechanical properties. However, the increase of the BOSB compression ratio was decreased the dimensional stability. The optimum BOSB compression ratio was 1.35.

Penaeid shrimps are widely distributed from Indian to western Pacific Oceans and some which are economically important. In this study, we reported full mitochondrial genome of an endemic shrimp species,Penaeus acehensis, which inhabits exclusively in the coastal water of Aceh, Indonesia. Full length of circular mitogenome ofP. acehensiswas 15,991 bp in length, which contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and a control region. Start codons of all protein-coding genes were ATN except for COX1 in which ACG was used. Incomplete stop codon (T- -) was found in five genes including COX2, COX3, NAD5, NAD4, and NAD4L. Among its relatives,P. acehensiswas most closely related toPenaeus monodonshowing 89% sequence identity in its mitogenome, which was corresponding to morphological analysis. Phylogenetic tree result showed thatP. acehensiswas clustered together with those were distributed in Indo-West Pacific region (clade II), which is distinct from Eastern Pacific region (clade I).

The aim of this study is to investigate the soil organic matter (SOM) status in various land uses and management in Kayangan Sub-District, North Lombok, and its accuracy measurement using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). A total of 100 soil samples (0-10 cm depth) were collected from several land uses and management (rain-fed areas, irrigated areas, areas planted 1-3 times with seasonal crops, areas planted with 1-3 perennial plants) in the study area, which were dried, ground and sieved, then analyzed using Walkley and Black method and scanned using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Partial least square regression (PLSR) was used to create SOM prediction models. The results showed that the SOM content varied from very low to moderate with most of them were low. The content of SOM was significantly higher in the irrigated areas compared to that of in the rain-fed areas, and also higher in the areas planted with seasonal crops 3 times a year compared to the areas planted 1-2 times a year. SOM content was higher in areas planted with 2-3 types of perennial plants, compared to with 1 type of perennial plant. NIRS technology was moderately accurate in measuring SOM, which can be used to monitor spatially changes in SOM.

A successful geothermal field size assessment requires integrative data analysis of all aspects to determine the optimum capacity to be installed. Nowadays, numerical simulation becomes a powerful tool in a geothermal resource assessment process. However, this method involves significant uncertainty of subsurface information as an input. Then a study of resource assessment methods, such as heat stored and experimental design, needs inputs coming from the result/output of reservoir numerical. The calculation of both methods based on a range of reservoir parameter values can be carried out using stochastic methods (Monte Carlo Simulation). It applies a probabilistic method of resource assessment to capture uncertainties. A sophisticated numerical reservoir model of Ciwidey-Patuha Geothermal Field, West Java-Indonesia in the natural state condition was used as a case study to determine the generating potential of the reservoir.
