Tegal Island is part of Lampung Bay which has potential to be the location of aquaculture. One of kind fish that can be cultivated in these area is the humpback grouper (Cromileptes altivelis). Humpback grouper is the most popular fish species in local and foreign markets that have the highest selling price. The purpose of this study were to know the physical and chemical parameters in Tegal Island waters, to know the suitability of the waters for the humpback grouper cultivation in the waters of Tegal Island. The research was conducted in May 2017. The sampling location was 4 stations. The range of water quality values in Tegal island were water depth (15-25 m), dissolved oxygen (7 – 8 mg/l), brightness (5-10 m), salinity (30-34 ppt), temperature (28 – 32°C ), current velocity (20 – 50 m/s), pH (7,7 – 8,0), nitrate (0,9 – 3,2 mg/l) and phosphate (0,2 – 0,5 mg/l). The results showed that the waters of Tegal Island had appropriate water suitability level (St 3), corresponding marginally (St 1 and St 2) and unsuited (St 4) for the cultivation of humpback grouper.

Abstract Background Ecological conditions determine the growth and productivity of lahe (Caulerpa Sp.). We conduct a comparative study of ecological conditions that affected differences in growth and productivity of lahe in two locations, in the Batunderang village area and the Lapango village area, Sangihe Regency. The ecological factors that we examined include atmospheric, chemical and physical factors. Atmospheric variables include radiation intensity, duration of irradiation, the air temperature above sea level. The physical and chemical parameters of water studied include current velocity, seawater temperature, salinity, current strength, pH, dissolved oxygen, and nitrate concentrations. Results The indicator of lahe growth are: chain length, stem diameter, meristem diameter. The productivity indicator is the wet weight of the lahe harvested by farmers within 90 days. Comparative analysis between locations and measurement positions summarizes the range of ecological conditions for natural growth. The seabed for lahe is 0.8 m − 1.4 m lower than the surface of a coral reef and is not exposed at the lowest tide. The air temperature range at position 20 cm above sea level is 250C − 31.60C, while the temperature of seawater varies between 250C to 28.40C. Daily fluctuations in current velocity at high tides range from 0.09 cm/sec to 2 cm/sec. The salinity range between 27.8 ppt to 28.6 ppt. The pH range of seawater for natural growth is 7.6–8.12, while the dissolved oxygen range is 6 ppm to 6.25 ppm. Nitrate concentrations in lahe growth positions vary between 1.8 ppm − 1.96 ppm. Conclusion This ecological condition guarantees that the productivity of lahe varies between 20–30 kg/m2 for a 90-day harvest period.

The botanical composition of grasslands determines the agronomic and natural values of swards. Good grassland management usually improves herbage value, but on the other hand it frequently decreases the plant diversity and species richness in the swards. In 1999 a field trial in a split-plot design with four replicates was therefore established on the Arrhenatherion type of vegetation in Ljubljana marsh meadows in order to investigate this relationship. Cutting regimes (2 cuts — with normal and delayed first cut, 3 cuts and 4 cuts per year) were allocated to the main plots and fertiliser treatments (zero fertiliser — control, PK and NPK with 2 or 3 N rates) were allocated to the sub-plots. The results at the 1 st cutting in the 5 th trial year were as follows: Fertilising either with PK or NPK had no significant negative effect on plant diversity in any of the cutting regimes. In most treatments the plant number even increased slightly compared to the control. On average, 20 species were listed on both unfertilised and fertilised swards. At this low to moderate level of exploitation intensity, the increased number of cuts had no significant negative effect on plant diversity either (19 species at 2 cuts vs. 20 species at 3 or 4 cuts). PK fertilisation increased the proportion of legumes in the herbage in the case of 2 or 3 cuts. The proportion of grasses in the herbage increased in all the fertilisation treatments with an increased numbers of cuts. Fertiliser treatment considerably reduced the proportion of marsh horsetail ( Equisetum palustre ) in the herbage of the meadows. This effect was even more pronounced at higher cut numbers. The proportion of Equisetum palustre in the herbage was the highest in the unfertilised sward with 2 cuts (26.4 %) and the lowest in the NPK-fertilised sward with 4 cuts (1.4%).

The aim of the research was an assessment of the effect of the Lactiplantibacillus plantarum SCH1 strain isolated from ecological raw fermented pork roast on pH, redox potential, nitrites, and nitrates content, L a* b* color parameters, total heme pigments content, nitrosyl myoglobin concentration, as well as the microbiological quality and sensory traits of cooked sausages produced from mechanically separated poultry meat (MSPM), cured with a lower sodium nitrite level (NaNO2 50 mg/kg) after production as well as after storage (1 and 3 weeks of storage). The biochemical identification of the Lactobacillus bacteria after storage was also performed. Tests were performed in two sausage treatments: C—control sausage made from MSPM and L—sausage made from MSPM inoculated with L. plantarum at approx. 107 cfu/g. No negative effect of using the L. plantarum SCH1 strain on the physical and chemical MSPM sausage features was found. The treatment with L. plantarum SCH1 was of better microbiological quality after 3 weeks of storage. The sausages with L. plantarum SCH1 kept good sensory quality while the control treatment was spoiled after storage.

Experimental studies on the properties of cement paste and mortar with the use of limestone powder were carried out. The results show that the replacement with 10% to 30% limestone powder in cement paste can reduce the water requirement for certain flowability. As an inert material, the use of the limestone powder has significant negative effect on the mechanical properties of mortar. However, strength requirement of normal concrete (mortar) can be reached by reducing the water to cementious material ratio, which makes the use of limestone powder as a replacement of cement possible.

Lake Untersee is the largest freshwater lake in the interior of East Antarctica. It is a perennially ice-covered, max. 169 m deep, ultra-oligotrophic lake. In contrast to earlier studies, we found clear evidence for physical and chemical stratification in the summer of 1991–92. However, the stratification was restricted to a trough, c. 500 m wide and up to 105 m deep, in the south-western part of the lake. There, the water body was distinctly stratified as indicated by sharp vertical gradients of temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and electrical conductivity. The water column was anoxic below 80 m. The chemical stratification is also indicated by changes of ionic ratios. Moreover, there was some evidence for methanogenesis and bacterial sulphate reduction in Lake Untersee.

As part of a marine habitat enhancement project, the physical and chemical deterioration of reinforced concrete reefs that were fully immersed in Tongyeong waters of Korea was investigated. For the investigation, marine environmental factors such as seawater, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, sea-bottom materials, and water depth of the targeted sites were surveyed from 1997 to 2001. Then, four reinforced concrete reefs from four different sites were recovered and tested by using various destructive and nondestructive methods. Based on the observations and test results, it was seen that the reinforced concrete reefs have sound physical and chemical properties, except for chloride concentration and its associated factors. However, because of the lack of dissolved oxygen in the targeted seawaters and its continuous supply, it is concluded that the originally designed service life will be achieved, and in fact the concrete reefs will have an even longer service life than expected. By considering an extreme event such as impact loading under installation and construction, a new minimum concrete cover depth of 40 mm is introduced into practice.

Dividend policy remains an important topic in modern corporate finance. Researchers, managers, and business owners seek to understand the optimal dividend policy. This study examined dividend policy as a driver of corporate growth in sub-Saharan Africa: evidence in Nigeria. The ex-post facto research design was adopted to analyse how dividend policy spur the growth of active insurance companies in the Nigerian Stock Exchange using secondary data of the sampled firms for 2007 – 2018 while utilising descriptive and inferential (regression) statistics in data analysis. The findings reveal that dividend policy in terms of dividend payout has an insignificant negative effect on corporate growth of insurance companies in Nigeria (?= -8.09E-05, p=0.77; Adjusted R2=0.4093; F(4,139)=3.29; p=0.00 with the controlling effect of efficiency, firm age and leverage which have a significant effect on corporate growth of insurance companies in Nigeria. Specifically, the study reveals that efficiency has a significant negative effect on corporate growth (?=-5.29, p<0.05); while firm age discloses a significant positive influence on corporate growth (?=0.417, p<0.05); as leverage exerts a significant negative effect on corporate growth (?=0.052, p<0.05). Therefore, the study concludes that dividend policy does not significantly drive insurance companies' dividend payout growth. The study recommends that insurance companies' management retain more of their profits, improve their efficiency, and control their leverage to further growth.
