Penelitian dilaksanakan untuk mengetahui distribusi ki di Resort Ranu Darungan Taman Nasional Bromo Tengger Semeru. menjadi tiga blok pengamatan, berdasark...

Twenty-four rectangular RC column specimens, constructed at 1/3 scale, were tested under axial loading to investigate the use of ASWM (one, two, three, four, and five layers) exposed elevated temperatures. Six specimens subjected laboratory temperature (control or un-damaged specimens) 23oC. Eighteen temperatures (six columns 250oC, six 500oC, 750oC) for 2 hr. The obtained results clearly showe...

low- temperature (lt) tolerance is an economic trait in winter wheat that determines the plants’ ability to successfully cope with below freezing temperatures. to identify the genomic regions associated with lt tolerance in hexaploid wheat, an f2:3 population was produced from crossing between winter type and tolerant parent, mirnovoskaja 808 (lt50 = -20oc), and spring type and susceptible pare...

Background. Acrylic resins used in restorative dentistry are the most popular denture base material, because they have good optical properties and small solubility in body fluids. However their mechanical properties are limited and therefore acrylic resins require different methods of reinforcement one of which can be application of different kinds of fibers. Objectives. To investigate the effe...

The decline in the availability and alarming pollution of the existing water resources is the major environmental problem of third-world countries. The main reason of water pollution is the disposal of untreated industrial effl uents. This study was designed to evaluate the pollution load caused by a paper mill, and to propose a wastewater treatment plant design, based on the analyses of wastew...

Interest in seed propagation of drumstick tree (Moringa oleifera) has created a need for information about the water relationships of its seeds. Thus, we studied the imbibition and desiccation kinetics and adsorption/ desorption isotherms of drumstick tree seeds. Seeds absorbed water readily when imbibed at 23oC. After 17 h of exposure to an atmosphere of 100% relative humidity (RH), seed moist...

BACKGROUND Physical exercise is known to be a stressor stimulus that leads to reproductive disruption. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of forced swimming on the uterus and ovaries in mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Adult mice (N=24) were divided into the following three groups: A, control; B, swimming in water (10oC); and C, swimming in water (23oC). Swimmers swam for...
