This paper analyzes the performance of organic cotton fiber. Through the analysis of performance of ordinary cotton and organic cotton knitted fabrics, it was found that the mechanical properties of the organic cotton knits are somewhat less than ordinary cotton knits and there is no difference in wear ability between the two.

The activity of textile sector and textile product (TPT) in Indonesia keeps growing from year to year.TPTIndustry has become the main contributor of foreign exchange from non-oil and gas sector. Unfortunately, the domestic supply of cotton fiber, main material of textile product, can’t fulfill textile industry’s demand. It forces the nation to import the raw materials. Based on the problem about the import that still exist until the present, it is necessary to do a research to analyze the development of cotton fiber import in Indonesia and to identify the factors affecting the development of Indonesian cotton fiber imports during 1975-2014. This research uses descriptive analysis and inference analysis. The descriptive analysis method used in this research is graphical analysis, while the inference analysis is Error Correction Mechanism (ECM) method. Based on the estimation made with ECM, it was found that 5 variables significantly affect the cotton import volume in the long term, including: real per capita Gross Domectic Product (GDP), international cotton fiber prices, domestic cotton fiber production, the demand of cotton fiber by domestic yarn spinning industry and textile product exports volume. While in short term, only 4 variables significantly affect thecotton fiber import volume: domestic cotton fiber production,the demand of cotton fiber by domestic yarn spinning industry, real per capita GDP and textile product exports volume. Keywords: import, cotton fiber, Textile Industry and Textile Product (TPT),Error Correction Mechanism (ECM).

Selective detection of bioanalytes in physiological fluids, such as blood, sweat or saliva, by means of low-cost and non-invasive devices, is of crucial importance to improve diagnosis and prevention in healthcare.

<p>Sistem pertanian organik pada tanaman pangan mulai diminati masyarakat karena produknya lebih sehat dan pengelolaannya memperhatikan lingkungan, siklus biologi, dan keanekaragaman hayati setempat. Kecende-rungan ini merembet ke tanaman nonpangan, seperti kapas yang menggunakan pestisida dan pupuk sintetis sangat besar. Syarat pengembangan kapas organik cukup ketat karena selain larangan menggunakan bahan kimia sintetis, juga pendokumentasian untuk memperoleh sertifikat organik. Meskipun serat kapas organik harganya lebih tinggi, namun produktivitasnya cenderung rendah. Keuntungan yang paling signifikan dalam pengembangan kapas organik adalah perbaikan lingkungan, mulai dari kesuburan lahan, aktivitas mikroba, dan siklus biologi sampai peningkatan keanekaragaman hayati. Pengembangan kapas di Indonesia masih menghadapi masalah rendahnya produktivitas dan pemenuhan kebutuhan dalam negeri sehingga pengem-bangan kapas organik belum menjadi prioritas meskipun kelestarian biologi dan lingkungan harus tetap di-perhatikan. Oleh karena itu, sistem pertanian input rendah yang berkelanjutan dan ramah lingkungan meru-pakan pilihan yang dapat dikembangkan untuk kapas.</p><p> </p><p>People are now paying more interest on healthy products from organic agriculture especially for food crops. Organic agriculture system based on ecological concern which enhances biodiversity, biological cycles of the land. This interest is now moving to nonfood crops, such as cotton that need high concentration of pesticide and fertilizer for its production. Developing organic cotton requires strictly standard and condition, such as no synthetic chemical fertilizers and pesticides, or detail documents to get organic sertificate. Although, price of organic cotton fiber is higher, but its production is lower compared to conventional one. However, there are still significant advantages in developing organic cotton, i.e. environmental improvements: from soil ferti-lities, microbial activities, biological cycles to promoting biodiversity. At the moment, the need of cotton fiber is mainly from import, on the other side organic cotton productivity tends to low. Hence, development of or-ganic cotton is not priority, yet biological and environmental sustainability ask for attention. Another alterna-tive choice which more practicable to develop cotton in Indonesia is a sustainable and ecofriendly with low input agricultural system.</p>

This research has multidisciplinary characteristics with a focus on cotton fiber production and computational solutions to improved data exchange. The research is divided into three parts, the identification of the cotton fiber production processes, the formal ontology for identifying the data classes, and finally the proposal of a specific metadata standard for cotton fiber production. The absence of a specific standard for this segment favors the heterogeneity in the various data sources. The contribution of the research lies in improving the information exchange used in agricultural systems providing identification of each individual responsible for steps in the cotton production chain.

The physical foundations for the use of electron energy loss spectroscopy towards analytical purposes, seem now rather well established and have been extensively discussed through recent publications. In this brief review we intend only to mention most recent developments in this field, which became available to our knowledge. We derive also some lines of discussion to define more clearly the limits of this analytical technique in materials science problems.The spectral information carried in both low ( 0<ΔE<100eV ) and high ( >100eV ) energy regions of the loss spectrum, is capable to provide quantitative results. Spectrometers have therefore been designed to work with all kinds of electron microscopes and to cover large energy ranges for the detection of inelastically scattered electrons (for instance the L-edge of molybdenum at 2500eV has been measured by van Zuylen with primary electrons of 80 kV). It is rather easy to fix a post-specimen magnetic optics on a STEM, but Crewe has recently underlined that great care should be devoted to optimize the collecting power and the energy resolution of the whole system.

At the light microscope level the recent developments and interest in antibody technology have permitted the localization of certain non-microtubule proteins within the mitotic spindle, e.g., calmodulin, actin, intermediate filaments, protein kinases and various microtubule associated proteins. Also, the use of fluorescent probes like chlorotetracycline suggest the presence of membranes in the spindle. Localization of non-microtubule structures in the spindle at the EM level has been less rewarding. Some mitosis researchers, e.g., Rarer, have maintained that actin is involved in mitosis movements though the bulk of evidence argues against this interpretation. Others suggest that a microtrabecular network such as found in chromatophore granule movement might be a possible force generator but there is little evidence for or against this view. At the level of regulation of spindle function, Harris and more recently Hepler have argued for the importance of studying spindle membranes. Hepler also believes that membranes might play a structural or mechanical role in moving chromosomes.
