Optim™ fine is a new generation of ultrafine wool fibres, which are transformed by stretching and setting from merino wool. The Optim™ fine retains some of the physical and chemical properties of merino wool, but the morphology and other properties changes, such as the diameter, length, lusture, breaking extension and shrinkage. These changes results in the performance difference btween the fabric woven from Optim™ fine and fine wool fiber. To clearly understande the reason of the difference, the morphological and physical properties changes of Optim™ fine was examined in this paper, and the performance difference between wool fabric and Optim™ fine fabric was evaluated by Fabric Assurance by Simple Testing(FAST). It was found that the decreasing in breaking extension and increasing in shrinkage of Optim™ fine resulted in the declining in formability and dimensional stability of Optim™ fine fabric. Suggestions on the ways of constructing Optim™ fine into fabric were also given according to the anlysis of relationship between the properties changes of Optim™ fine fiber and that of its fabric.

Two genotype of sheep have been utilized in the conduct of the experiment composed of 60 ewes from Pirot x Virtemberg as genotype 1 and 60 ewes of Improved Pirot as genotype 2. All the ewes were reared under identical conditions and without any differences in nutrition and management during the whole period under study. The collection of Milk sampling was done in morning and evening during periods (1, 2, 3) of lactation duration. The average lactation duration and average total milk of the two genotypes were very close and has a minimal difference of 0.467 day and 1.562 kg, in favor of genotype 2. The differences between genotypes were not significant (P>0,05). Regarding physical and chemical properties of milk for both genotypes, the difference were very minimal such as follows; viscosity Pa x s - 0.006, electrical conductivity ? - 0.018, density kg/m3 -0,001, freezing, t 0C - 0.013, LD number - 0.028 total solids, % - 0.014, fat,% - 0,026, protein,% - 0.085, lactose,% - 0.038, ash,% - 0,021, acidity, 0SH - 0.209. The results indicated that the properties of milk for both genotypes were very near to each other. It can be interpreted that the breeds utilized in the experiment were comparable due to similar characteristics perhaps. The effect of genotype was very significant only for the % protein of the milk. The lactation periods were highly significant in all physical and chemical properties of milk.

Xew evidence of the nature of the bilateral cortex in crimped wool is presented and discussed in relation to the physical and chemical properties of the wool fibre. The origin of the asymmetry in the cortex was studied by cutting cross sections of sheep skin and swelling plucked wool roots. It is shown that the bilateral structure is present before the cortex is keratinized and does not originate from an asymmetrical keratinization as has been suggested. Coarse wools, in which crimp is much less, are shown to possess a radial asymmetry in which the peripheral cortical cells are less accessible to basic dyes and have a higher sulphur content than the central cells. This is related to the difference between the curved follicles from which fine fibres are produced and the straighter follicles producing coarse fibres.

Grassland is an important ecosystem in land surface. Soil is the basis of grassland ecosystem, and the changes of its properties directly affect grassland ecosystem. The study region is located in Xilamuren grassland using the methods of field sampling and experimental analysis. It was divided into four test areas according to grazing intensity. Soil physical and chemical properties were analyzed in each test area. The results showed that: the trend of soil water content decreased and then increased with increasing grazing intensity, soil water content in repaired grassland was the lowest. For the soil mechanical composition, particle size content increased first and then decreased with increasing grazing intensity when the particle size was 1-0.05mm. The difference between the highest and lowest values was obvious. When the particle size was 0.05-0.002mm, the trend of particle size fluctuated, first decreased and then increased, finally reduce again and the difference between the highest and lowest values was obvious. When the particle size was less than 0.002mm, the trend of particle size content increased with increasing grazing intensity. In soil chemical properties, soil organic matter appears downward trend overall as grazing intensity increase. Soil organic matter content was the lowest in repaired grass. Available N and P first decreased and then increased with increasing grazing intensity, the minimum values appeared in the repaired grassland and degraded grassland respectively. Available K content increased with increasing grazing intensity.

Abstrak. Tembikar merupakan salah satu sisa benda budaya yang paling sering ditemukan dalam penelitian arkeologi, yang terbuat dari tanah liat yang dibakar. Analisis teknologi laboratoris tembikar dari situs-situs di DAS Bengawan Solo Bojonegoro, bertujuan untuk memperoleh hasil yang akurat tentang sifat fisik dan sifat kimia. Melalui kajian analisis teknologi laboratoris dapat digambarkan kualitas tembikar yang dibuat oleh para pengrajin pada masa lampau. Berdasarkan hasil analisis teknologi laboratoris tembikar dari situs-situs DAS Bengawan Solo, Bojonegoro mempunyai kualitas sedang hingga kualitas baik. Tembikar-tembikar tersebut termasuk dalam kategori peralatan sehari-hari yang berfungsi untuk menampung air, mengolah makanan dan untuk penyajian makanan serta minuman. Tingkat pembakarannya mencapai 600°-800° Celcius, dan warna tembikar didominasi warna gelap (dark colors) dibanding dengan warna terang (light colors). Adanya perbedaan prosentase dari setiap unsur kimia pada tembikar tersebut, tidak terlepas dari daya tahan mineral terhadap pelapukan.Abstract. Pottery, which is made of fired clay, is the most frequently found cultural remains during archaeological researches. Technological Laboratory Analysis on pottery from sites along the Bengawan Solo (Solo River) in Bojonegoro aims at obtaining accurate results about the nature of the physical and chemical properties. Through the technological laboratory analysis can be described the quality of pottery made by craftsmen in the past. Based on the results of the analysis, pottery from the sites along the Bengawan Solo, Bojonegoro Regency, have moderate up to good qualities. The pottery belongs to a category of daily equipment that serves to store water, cook food and to serve food and drink. The rate of heat during firing was up to 600°-800° Celsius, and the color of pottery is predominantly dark colors (black colors) with only a few light colors (bright colors). The difference in the percentage of each chemical element in the pottery is due to the durability of the minerals to weathering.

The process of physical and chemical properties of the former gold mining soil which is caused by the transformation of different land conditions in natural rice fields, reclaimed rice fields, and mine fields. This study aims to determine the differences in the characteristics of the former gold mining soil in natural rice fields, reclaimed rice fields and mining fields in Sijunjung Regency. There were three sampling locations with three sample points each and the samples were analyzed physically and chemically. Results of this study showed that natural paddy soil has optimal conditions for the growth of rice plants followed by reclaimed lowland soil and the worst was in mining paddy soil based on soil physical and chemical properties. The difference in soil physical properties in the form of natural paddy soil texture was smoother compared to land conditions in reclaimed rice fields and mining rice fields. This was due to intensive inundation processes, which created a plough tread layer, low volume weight accompanied by a moderate total pore space. The difference in chemical properties was in the stable pH of natural paddy soil due to inundation and high organic carbon accompanied by rice reclamation and very low organic carbon in mining soils, which would affect the growth of rice plant.

For the study, two groups of cats were formed at the age of 1 to 4 years in the amount of 6 animals each. According to research it was found that cats are more likely to suffer from urolithiasis than cats. At the same time, in the percentage ratio of the difference between castrated and non-castrated cats with urolithiasis, it was not expressed explicitly (29.01% and 31.49%, respectively, of the total number of sick animals). The highest percentage of incidence of urolithiasis was recorded in sterilized cats (23.98%). It was found that after feeding animals with commercial feed in the studied time there is a decrease in the number of struvites in the urine. The greatest decrease in struvite count was determined after feeding cats with Hills prescription diet urinary care c/d multicare. There is also a change in the acid-base state of urine when feeding Hills prescription diet urinary care c/d multicare by 10.9% and 13.1% and Hills prescription diet urinary care c/d multicare by 12.3% and 9.5% to 3 and 6 months, respectively. Significant differences in urine density after feeding with commercial feed and homemade food have not been established.
