Palm oil is a commodity with considerable potential, in contributing to profits for Riau Province. Oil palm plantations that grow in Riau Province are owned by several companies and have grown into smallholder plantations. This means that the situation of Palm Oil Commodities in Riau Province is the primary supplier of economic value. On the other hand, Palm Oil Commodities that have grown for many years in Riau Province are in the Peatland area, which has a large potential for burning due to the character of land clearing which is mostly done by burning. This article is the result of research conducted simultaneously, by conducting qualitative research methods supported by primary and secondary data that strengthen the analysis. Riau without smog is difficult to escape, and it is always lucky if it enters the rainy season so that the disaster is not visible and the situation will be very different if it enters the long dry season. The existence of the environment is indeed difficult to go hand in hand with the existence of economic value generated from palm oil commodities.

The reducibility of titanomagnetite iron ore materials (agglomerate, pellets) with various TiO2 contents are studied. The mineralogical features of agglomerate and pellets before and after reduction are investigated. Calculations of technical and economic indicators of blast furnace smelting using iron ore materials with different TiO2 contents are carried out. It is shown that an increase in the content of titanium dioxide in pellets and agglomerate (with an increase in the amount of concentrate introduced into them) does not change the quality of iron ore preparation for blast furnace smelting.


(Masino and Knudsen 1990) showed some remarkable results which suggest that head motion in the barn owl is controlled by distinct circuits coding for the horizontal and vertical components of movement. This implies the existence of a set of orthogonal internal coordinates that are related to meaningful coordinates of the external world. No coherent computational theory has yet been proposed to explain this finding. I have proposed a simple model which provides a framework for a theory of low-level motor learning. I show that the theory predicts the observed microstimulation results in the barn owl. The model rests on the concept of "Optimal Unsupervised Motor Learning", which provides a set of criteria that predict optimal internal representations. I describe two iterative Neural Network algorithms which find the optimal solution and demonstrate possible mechanisms for the development of internal representations in animals.


A high performing True-to-Type single nucleotide polymorphism assay, consisting of a minimal set of single nucleotide polymorphism markers was developed for oil palm. The single nucleotide polymorphism panel was developed from a range of diverse materials consisting of germplasm and advanced breeding lines. Analyses demonstrated that the single nucleotide polymorphism panel is effective at uniquely finger printing and discriminating individual palms from unrelated pedigrees. In addition, the single nucleotide polymorphism panel is a very useful tool in breeding programmes, as it can effectively discriminate between individual progeny in half-sibling, full sibling and selfed crosses. Furthermore, illegitimate palms present in half-sibling, full sibling and selfed crosses are easily identified. The single nucleotide polymorphism panel is an excellent quality control tool for use in tissue culture, as clonal materials could be differentiated based on their lineage. The fact that ramets of different clonal lines were easily distinguished, indicates that it will also be an excellent tool to identify potential culture mix-ups that occur either in the laboratory, nursery or during field planting.

In the past couple of years interest in decompilation has widened from its initial concentration on reconstruction of control flow into well-founded-in-theory methods to reconstruct type information. A. Mycroft (1999) described Type-Based Decompilation and S. Katsumata and A. Ohori (2001) described Proof-Directed Decompilation. The article summarises the two approaches and identifies their commonality, strengths and weaknesses; it concludes by suggesting how they may be integrated.


We report the case of a middle aged male who presented with headache and vomiting and later diagnosed to have eosinophilic meningitis as a complication after consumption of camel meat.


The utility model provides an automatic continuous temperature control device in reeling production cocoon boiling process, which comprises a cocoon boiling temperature adjustment loop which consists of a temperature measurement part, a temperature display and control part and an automatic regulating valve part. A temperature measuring sensor of the temperature measurement part is arranged in a boiling house of a cocoon boiling machine to monitor real-timely the boiling temperature and converts and transmits the temperature signal to the distant temperature display and control part for display and comparison with a set value according to process requirement. After PID ( proportional integral and derivative) operations, the comparison result is used for controlling the opening and closing of the automatic regulating valve arranged in the inlet steam pipe of the cocoon boiling house to adjust the amount of steam supplied to the boiling house to achieve the automatic continuous control over the cocoon boiling temperature. The cocoon boiling machine main steam inlet pipeline can also be provided with a steam pressure adjustment loop. The device has high control accuracy, can solve the problems of rawly or over-boiled cocoons due to boiler steam supply fluctuation, production condition changing and non-prompt manual control, thereby dramatically improving the boiling quality and raw silk product quality.


A particular procedure of "aerial" triangulation on the external walls of the Coliseum is necessary to insert in an unique reference system their plotting. A paper on this subject was presented at the 1989 CIPA Symposium in Rome, but it was not published, due to the inactivity of the CIPA organisation. The scientific and operative setup of this aerial triangulation, based on the projective bundles approach, is now reported here; it presents some interesting peculiarity, due to the variable elliptic curvature of the wall. Its results, characterized by a sub-centimetric accuracy, are also reported. The procedure is then described to plot the whole wall on an unique reference plane, using a dedicated cylindric reference system. A table with a consistent portion of the plotting is finally annexed. The present research is apart of the PROGETTO COLOSSEO of the University of Rome.


In order to know the characteristics of"Chinglish"in the writings of sports English majors and to improve students' writing level,70 compositions and term papers written by the English majors of Beijing Sport University are analyzed. This paper explored the characteristics of"Chinglish"in the data with descriptions and explanations and provided some countermeasures to overcome "Chinglish"in English study and teaching. This research finding indicates that the Chinglish by sports English majors are mainly characterized by intra-sentential Chinese means of expression caused by the Chinese thinking habits as well as its language rules. Among them,the leading factor is the transfer of the Chinese concept system,while the transfer of Chinese language rules is reflected in the absence of articles and misuse of certain prepositions. On the whole,sports English majors at least have the same writing level as general university students and Chinglish is a common phenomenon in China. Based on the main characteristics,this paper analyzed its origin and provided some countermeasures. And this study has certain significance for research on foreign language output theory and writing study of sports English majors.

We consider a brane-world construction which incorporates a finite region of flat space, ``the box'', surrounded by a region of anti-de Sitter space. This hybrid construction provides a framework which interpolates between the scenario proposed by Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos and Dvali, and that proposed by Randall and Sundrum. Within this composite framework, we investigate the effects of resonant modes on four-dimensional gravity. We also show that, on a probe brane in the anti-de Sitter region, there is enhanced production of on-shell nonresonant modes. We compare our model to some recent attempts to incorporate the Randall-Sundrum scenario into superstring theory.


Published data on Xe isotope compositions in primitive carbonaceous meteorites are examined using multidimensional correlation analysis. Distribution of the Xe data in multidimensional data space, except for (129)Xe, can be characterized by a single component, whose isotope composition is identical to 'H plus L minus Xe'. Additional small contributions to the data variations, less than 1 percent of total variations, can be attributed to 'S minus Xe' as well as atmospheric contamination. Isotopic composition of primitive Xe common to the Earth's atmosphere and carbonaceous meteorites are determined with the same assumption as adopted by Pepin and Phinney: primitive Xe is precisely related to fission-free Xe in the Earth's atmosphere by mass fractionation. The determined isotopic composition of primitive Xe is closer to Solar-type Xe, rather than U-Xe (and the primitive Xe estimated from chondrite-achondrite correlation. Hence, the present published data on Xe isotope compositions in meteorites do not seem to require any special component for the primitive Xe common to the Earth's atmosphere and carbonaceous meteorites. Thus Earth's accreting planetesimals would have trapped Xe from the surrounding nebula gases where Xe isotope composition is identical to Solar-type Xe. The trapped Xe was subsequently subject to isotopic fractionation due to gravitational separation as planetesimals grew. Finally fissiogenic Xe from (244)Pu was added to form the present Xe isotope composition of the Earth's atmosphere. The amount of fissiogenic (136)Xe is estimated to be 2.6 percent of the total amount of (136)Xe in the atmosphere, which is about a half of that estimated by Pepin and Phinney (4.65 percent).


The principles of unconscious mastering the environment by individual on the basis of which there is a phenomenon of imagination of human soul content have been considered. Bidirectional process, called «transfer-contransfer», is its primary element. It allows, on the one hand, harmonizing existential human space and on the other hand, in the case of unconscious exclusion of undeveloped world content becomes natural explorer of consciousness making. In this connection the key mechanism of «transfer» unconscious projection is analyzed. In any event, the trend of unconscious projections of a man allows defining the specific character of modern myth occurrence.


The utility model discloses a conveyer pipe for the boom of a concrete pump truck. The conveyer pipe is mainly characterized in that a cast-iron bent pipe, a cast-iron straight pipe and a cast-iron taper pipe, which are designed for the boom of a concrete pump truck and are provided with flanges, are integrally casted. During the casting process, the bearing part of the pipe wall of the cast-iron bent pipe is thickened and the pipe wall of the cast-iron bent pipe is gradually and uniformly thinned outwards from the two ends of the force center of the pipe wall of the cast-iron bent pipe. Meanwhile, the thickness of the pipe wall at the inner diameter of the cast-iron bent pipe is also reduced. Finally, the external surfaces of the cast-iron bent pipe, the cast-iron straight pipe and the cast-iron taper pipe, designed for the boom of a concrete pump truck, are poured with a layer of mixed materials, wherein high-strength and high-molecular polyethylene material and carbon fiber material are proportioned and mixed and then are heated and pressurized to prepare the mixed materials. Thus, the conveyer pipe for the boom of a concrete pump truck is better in impact resistance and compressive strength and longer in service life. Meanwhile, the manufacturing process is simplified and the cost is lowered. In addition, the weight of the conveyer pipe for the boom of a concrete pump truck is greatly reduced and the entire working stability of a concrete pump truck is improved.


nitrite Cholografin would enable the physician to look for functional disturbances in disease of the hepatobiliary system, such as biliary dyskinesia.2 When Cholografin fails to visualize the biliary ducts, one should look for the following points: (1) Hepatic disease, or a biliary obstruction which is complete or nearly complete; in such a case the agent is excreted through the kidneys (2 of our cases). (2) Radiological technical deficiencies. Sometimes we have been unable to demonstrate why the opacification did not occur. In such a case we kept in mind the possibility that the contrast agent did not remain in the biliary tract but went directly into the duodenum through an open sphincter of Oddi.


The work has as general purpose to characterize the conceptions and pedagogical practices of the professors who teach Natural Sciences and Human Sciences in the undergraduate programs of Engineering in two Colombian Universities. It is focused on the behavioral descriptions of the professor performance and based on these behaviors inferring the conceptions regarding teaching. The methodological approach of the research is qualitative and the collecting techniques of information were non- participant observation in the classroom, in-depth interview and documental analysis. The analysis of data was made using template and editing strategies and validation was gained by triangulation. The findings reveal that professors mostly are not aware of their conceptions. As a consequence, the relationship between their performance in the classroom and their thoughts are not coherent. On the other hand, Human Sciences professors and Engineering professors show differences regarding their pedagogical performance. This research offers crucial elements to reinterpret the curricular politics in the university regarding these two disciplines in the formation process of the students and the professor training.


A tracer sectioning technique was employed to measure cation self-diffusion coefficients in fully dense polycrystalline materials under oxidizing conditions. Results are D = 1.65x10/sup -2/ exp(-69,200/RT) cm/sup 2//s for Y/sub 2/O/sub 3/ (1400 to 1670/sup 0/C), and D = 1.48 exp(-102,200/RT) cm/sup 2//s for Er/sub 2/O/sub 3/ (1400 to 1700/sup 0/C). The greater activation energy for erbium diffusion in erbia is attributed to a mass effect. Oxygen diffusion coefficients were extracted from observations in the reoxidation of small single crystals of uniformly reduced oxides produced by vacuum fusion. The oxidation process proceeded by the development of a fully oxidized external shell, the growth of which was rate-limited by diffusion of interstitially dissolved oxygen through the oxidized layer to a sharp interface with the reduced material. The growth of the oxidized shell was followed by means of a thermobalance. Oxygen diffusion coefficients were calculated to be D = 6.01x10/sup -6/ exp(-19,600/RT) cm/sup 2//s for Y/sub 2/O/sub 3/ (1064 to 1276/sup 0/C), and by D = 4.76x10/sup -5/ exp(-30,100/RT) cm/sup 2//s for Er/sub 2/O/sub 3/ (1060 to 1292/sup 0/C).


Hello again from the Petroleum Engineering Department here at CSM in Golden. I am happy to report that we are healthy and enjoying a good level of activity in many areas. The program has plenty of students, jobs, and research projects. This past summer I completed my one-year sabbatical leave in my hometown of Banning, California. Some people have asked me recently if I am back at CSM for good. Well, I'm not sure I was ever here at CSM "for good," but whatever it has been in the past, I hope and intend to continue to serve CSM for many more years. My sabbatical leave was most enjoyable and very satisfying. Most of my time was spent at Banning High School, and some time was spent on the Morongo Indian Reservation and the grade school in the small town of Cabazon. It was very rewarding working with a wide variety of kids, exposing them to subjects they don't normally get, such as local geology , global geology, geography, international business, careers , engineering, and field trips. In November 1996 we took 120 high school kids to THUMS offshore island near Long Beach; this was a big deal! No accidents, no AWOL's! Other field trips included the San Andreas fault, ancient Cahuilla Indian grounds, mountain climbs, and fishing. I figured if I could help the students "learn how to fish," then they would be more independent citizens and less reliant on others. The fishing trip turned out to be "the greatest day of my life" for a couple students. If you're interested in more about my sabbatical leave, refer to the recent article in CSM's Alumni Association Mines Magazine issue dated September/October 1997. The PE Department staff did a great job in my absence during my sabbatical leave. Upon my return to regular service this summer, everything appeared to be in good order. Special thanks must go to everyone on the staff, especially to Professor Ramona Graves for serving as Acting Department Head during the year. We are a small group with a heavy load and lots of involvement with our students. Whenever one of us is gone, the extra load on the rest of the staff is noticeable. This school year Professor Robert Thompson is on a well-deserved sabbatical leave to concentrate on the final stages of his Ph.D. program in Educational Leadership and Innovation in the School of …
