Utilization of Waste Corncobs as Mushroom Cultivication Media in the Pataan Village, Lamongan District
Background: Waste is part of environmental problems because the increase in volume of waste correlates with population growth and efforts to reduce waste are still limited. Pataan Village which is one of the villages in Sambeng Subdistrict is also inseparable from the garbage problem. Most of the household waste will be collected in the yard and then burned, both organic and inorganic waste. In Pataan Village, there is already a 3R Waste Disposal Site (TPS) which functions as a place to collect garbage and a place to sort waste, unfortunately it is not functioned optimally due to various obstacles. Purpose: Solve the problem of managing organic waste especially corncobs by maximizing it as a mushroom planting media. Method: Socialization, training and assistance of mushroom cultivation using corncobs media to youth groups who are members of the Karang Taruna Organizations in Pataan Village. Results: The results of training and assistance for 25 days, it can be noted that the optimization of corncobs as a medium for mushroom cultivation can be an effective solution in handling the waste problem in Pataan Village and has the potential to bring up new commodities in Pataan Village in the form of janggel mushrooms. Conclusion:Partners get increased knowledge and skills in utilizing corncobs as a medium for cultivating janggel mushrooms. So that in the next period can be given about how the processing of the janggel mushroom in order to have added value

On the use of low-cost computer peripherals for the assessment of motor dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease – Quantification of bradykinesia using target tracking tasks
The potential of computer games peripherals to measure the motor dysfunction in Parkinson’s diseases is assessed. Of particular interest is the quantification of bradykinesia. Previous studies used modified or custom haptic interfaces, here an unmodified force feedback joystick and steering wheel are used with a laptop. During testing an on screen cursor moves in response to movements of the peripheral, the user has to track a continuously moving target (pursuit tracking), or move to a predetermined target (step tracking). All tasks use movement in the horizontal axis, allowing use of joystick or steering wheel. Two pursuit tracking tasks are evaluated, pseudo random movement, and a swept frequency task. Two step tracking tasks are evaluated, movement between two or between two of five fixed targets. Thirteen patients and five controls took part on a weekly basis. Patients were assessed for bradykinesia at each session using standard clinical measures. A range of quantitative measures was developed to allow comparison between and within patients and controls using ANOVA. Both peripherals are capable of discriminating between controls and patients, and between patients with different levels of bradykinesia. Recommendations for test procedures and peripherals are given
On the rotational dynamics of magnetically threaded disks around neutron stars
We investigate the rotational dynamics of disk accretion around a strongly magnetized neutron star with an aligned dipole field. The magnetospheric field is assumed to thread the disk plasma both inside and outside the corotation radius. As a result of disk-star interaction, the magnetic torque on the disk affects the structure of accretion flow to yield the observed spin- up or spin- down rates for a source of given fastness, magnetic field strength, and mass accretion rate. Within the model we obtain a prescription for the dynamical viscosity of such magnetically modified solutions for a Keplerian disk. We then use this prescription to find a model solution for the rotation rate profile throughout the entire disk, including the non-Keplerian inner disk. We find that the non-Keplerian angular velocity transition region is not necessarily narrow for a source of given spin state. The boundary layer approximation, as in the standard magnetically threaded disk model, holds only in the case of dynamical viscosity decreasing all the way to the innermost edge of the disk. These results are applied to several observed disk-fed X-ray pulsars that have exhibited quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs). The QPO frequencies provide a constraint on the fastness parameter and enable one to determine uniquely the width of the angular velocity transition zone for each source within model assumptions. We discuss the implications of these results on the value of the critical fastness parameter for a magnetized star in spin equilibrium. Applications of our model are also made with relevant parameters from recent numerical simulations of quasi-stationary disk - magnetized star interactions
Coupling Between Periodic and Aperiodic Variability in SAX J1808.4-3658
We detect a significant broadening in the wings of the 401 Hz peak in the
power spectrum of the accreting millisecond binary pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658.
This feature is consistent with the convolution of the red noise present in the
power spectrum with the harmonic line. We conclude that the flux modulated by
the spin period shows aperiodic variability similar to the red noise in the
overall flux, suggesting such variability also originates at the magnetic caps
close to the neutron star surface. This is analogous to the results found in
some longer period, higher magnetic field pulsators in high mass X-ray
binaries.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figures, to be published in The Astrophysical Journa
Environmental Radioactivity of TE-NORM Waste Produced from Petroleum Industry in Egypt: Review on Characterization and Treatment
Encoding One Logical Qubit Into Six Physical Qubits
We discuss two methods to encode one qubit into six physical qubits. Each of
our two examples corrects an arbitrary single-qubit error. Our first example is
a degenerate six-qubit quantum error-correcting code. We explicitly provide the
stabilizer generators, encoding circuit, codewords, logical Pauli operators,
and logical CNOT operator for this code. We also show how to convert this code
into a non-trivial subsystem code that saturates the subsystem Singleton bound.
We then prove that a six-qubit code without entanglement assistance cannot
simultaneously possess a Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) stabilizer and correct an
arbitrary single-qubit error. A corollary of this result is that the Steane
seven-qubit code is the smallest single-error correcting CSS code. Our second
example is the construction of a non-degenerate six-qubit CSS
entanglement-assisted code. This code uses one bit of entanglement (an ebit)
shared between the sender and the receiver and corrects an arbitrary
single-qubit error. The code we obtain is globally equivalent to the Steane
seven-qubit code and thus corrects an arbitrary error on the receiver's half of
the ebit as well. We prove that this code is the smallest code with a CSS
structure that uses only one ebit and corrects an arbitrary single-qubit error
on the sender's side. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages for each of
the two codes.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figures, 4 table
