Selection of Promising Barley Cultivar for Silage 2. Nutrient value and total digestible nutrient yield

1. An M-producing strain of Streptococcus pyogenes type-12 was shown to be carried on the surface of apparently healthy tonsils for at least 3 years.2. Loss of M substance in a strain of type-3 in a tonsillar carrier was shown to be by gradual replacement of matt forms by glossy variants. This pair of naturally occurring variants showed very different growth rates as mixtures in liquid media.3. Under suitable conditions, glossy variants regularly appeared and replaced the M-producing strain from which they were derived in these and all other strains of type-3 and type-12 tested from a wide variety of sources.4. It is suggested that the selection of variants by the differential nutrient value of the micro-environment is the deciding factor in carrier strains showing loss of M substance.

This paper addresses the problem of missing data in food composition databases (FCDBs). The missing data can be either for selected foods or for specific components only. Most often, the problem is solved by human experts subjectively borrowing data from other FCDBs, for data estimation or imputation. Such an approach is not only time-consuming but may also lead to wrong decisions as the value of certain components in certain foods may vary from database to database due to differences in analytical methods. To ease missing-data borrowing and increase the quality of missing-data selection, we propose a new computer-based methodology, named MIGHT - Missing Nutrient Value Imputation UsinG Null Hypothesis Testing, that enables optimal selection of missing data from different FCDBs. The evaluation on a subset of European FCDBs, available through EuroFIR and complied with the Food data structure and format standard BS EN 16104 published in 2012, proves that, in more than 80% of selected cases, MIGHT gives more accurate results than techniques currently applied for missing value imputation in FCDBs. MIGHT deals with missing data in FCDBs by introducing rules for missing data imputation based on the idea that proper statistical analysis can decrease the error of data borrowing.

The dependence on imports of feed ingredients for ration composer are increasingly expensive and availability of limited and unsustainable local feed, causing the low level of production and reproduction of local Indonesian cattle. This study aims to exploit the potential of plantation waste as an alternative feed of beef cattle, increase the nutrient value and digestibility of waste of palms and leaves and to know the optimal use of inoculums (Trichoderma sp.) through fermentation in improving the digestibility and nutritional value of the feed. The research method used was a complete randomized design (RAL) with five treatments and three replications, with 14 days fermentation. The research treatment includes: PD 0 (without Trichoderma/control), PD 1 (fermentation using Trichoderma viride 3 ml), PD 2 (fermentation using Trichoderma viride 6 ml), PD 3 (fermentation using Trichoderma harzianum 3 ml), PD 4 (fermentation using Trichoderma harzianum 6 ml).O Observation parameters observed included dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), ash content (AC), coarse fat (CF), organic matter (OM), and total digestible nutrient (TDN). The data obtained were analyzed using variance analysis. The results showed that the best treatment was found in PD 1, had a significant effect on control in increasing total digestible nutrient (TDN) 51.62% and crude fiber decline by 39.14%, although an increase in CP (5.34%) was not equal to the treatment of the PD 4 (5.35%). While the best increase of CP content was found in the treatment of PD 4 of 3.35%. While the best CP content found in the treatment of PD 4 of 5.35%. It was concluded that the use of Trichoderma viride and Trichoderma harzianum can improve the quality of waste nutrient and palm oil leaves by fermentation and the optimal inoculums dose used to produce the best fermentation is the use of Trichoderma sp. 3 ml in 3kg of material.

Chili is one of the most consumed food commodities in Indonesia. Thus, chili is very influential to the economic, also inflation and deflation of an area. In order for the needs of chili to be fulfilled and to be able to export, the production must be increased with one consideration being the selection of the right land. The right land must meet the criteria agreed upon by experts, there is land height, soil pH, nutrient value and ambient temperature. This research aims to create a system to support the decision of chili crop land selection using the weighted product method. By entering land data according to the criteria, the user can easily find out which land has the potential to have a higher suitability for chili plants. The result of this system is in the form of land ranking that can help users decide which land to use for chili cultivation.

Abstract Some of the foundations of Heyes’ radical reasoning seem to be based on a fractional selection of available evidence. Using an ethological perspective, we argue against Heyes’ rapid dismissal of innate cognitive instincts. Heyes’ use of fMRI studies of literacy to claim that culture assembles pieces of mental technology seems an example of incorrect reverse inferences and overlap theories pervasive in cognitive neuroscience.

The first question to be answered, in seeking coordinate systems for geodynamics, is: what is geodynamics? The answer is, of course, that geodynamics is that part of geophysics which is concerned with movements of the Earth, as opposed to geostatics which is the physics of the stationary Earth. But as far as we know, there is no stationary Earth – epur sic monere. So geodynamics is actually coextensive with geophysics, and coordinate systems suitable for the one should be suitable for the other. At the present time, there are not many coordinate systems, if any, that can be identified with a static Earth. Certainly the only coordinate of aeronomic (atmospheric) interest is the height, and this is usually either as geodynamic height or as pressure. In oceanology, the most important coordinate is depth, and this, like heights in the atmosphere, is expressed as metric depth from mean sea level, as geodynamic depth, or as pressure. Only for the earth do we find “static” systems in use, ana even here there is real question as to whether the systems are dynamic or static. So it would seem that our answer to the question, of what kind, of coordinate systems are we seeking, must be that we are looking for the same systems as are used in geophysics, and these systems are dynamic in nature already – that is, their definition involvestime.
