Safety Talk and Check to Prevent Pesticide Toxicity Among Farmer
The problem at informal sector in particular for farmer when used the pesticides. In Sumber Mufakat village the farmers always use the pesticides without using the safety equipment and have direct contact with the pesticides exposure. The purpose of this research was to apply the safety talk and check method as prevention method to solve the pesticides toxicity that asses from safety and health of pesticide use behaviour. This preventive intervention research was using Participatory Action Research (PAR) design.The data collected by observation, quetionaire, and health check list. The population was all holticultura farmers in Sumber Mufakat village that divide in nine farmer's group. The sample collected by using proportional random sampling. The data will analyze by using qualitative descriptive. The result showed that the implication of safety talk and check method could prevent of pesticide exposure that present from safety and health of pesticides use behaviour. To support the action of safety talk method needed to develop one community that care about the farmers with government endorsement. The check method was very helpful the farmers to identify and predict their health. Both of it could be to cultivate the farmer in safety of pesticide used and early discovery of health symptom cause pesticide used

Women in the United States Congress: Historical Overview, Tables, and Discussion
A record 102 women currently serve in the 113th Congress: 82 in the House (63 Democrats and 19 Republicans) and 20 in the Senate (16 Democrats and 4 Republicans). One hundred one women were initially sworn in to the 113th Congress—1 female Republican House Member has since resigned, and 2 Democratic House Members have been elected. This is higher than the previous record number of 95 women who were initially elected to the 111th Congress. The first woman elected to Congress was Representative Jeannette Rankin (R- MT, 1917-1919, 1941-1943). The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for only one day. Hattie Caraway (D-AR, 1931-1945) was the first Senator to succeed her husband and the first woman elected to a six-year Senate term. A total of 298 women have served in Congress, 194 Democrats and 104 Republicans. Of these women, 254 (165 Democrats, 89 Republicans) have served only in the House of Representatives; 34 (21 Democrats, 13 Republicans) have served only in the Senate; and 10 (8 Democrats, 2 Republicans) have served in both houses. These figures include 4 non-voting Delegates, 1 each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. A total of 33 African American women have served in Congress (1 in the Senate, 32 in the House), including 17 serving in the 113th Congress. Ten Hispanic women have been elected to the House; nine serve in the 113th Congress. Nine Asian Pacific American women have served in Congress (8 in the House, 1 in both the House and Senate), including seven in the 113th Congress. Nineteen women in the House, and 10 women in the Senate, have chaired committees. In the 113th Congress, 1 woman chairs a House committee, and 5 women chair Senate committees, with 1 female Senator chairing two committees.
This report includes a discussion of the impact of women in Congress as well as historical information, including the number and percentage of women in Congress over time, means of entry to Congress, comparisons to international and state legislatures, records for tenure, firsts for women in Congress, women in leadership, and African American and Asian Pacific American women in Congress. The report may reflect data at the beginning or end of each Congress, or changes during a Congress. See the notes throughout the report for information on the currency of the data
A Semicoarsening Multigrid Algorithm for SIMD Machines
A semicoarsening multigrid algorithm suitable for use on single instruction multiple data (SIMD) architectures has been implemented on the CM-2. The method performs well for strongly anisotropic problems and for problems with coefficients jumping by orders of magnitude across internal interfaces. The parallel efficiency of this method is analyzed, and its actual performance is compared with its performance on some other machines, both parallel and nonparallel
Beautifying a country home
Citation: McCullough, William Andrews. Bacteria- their relation to disease. Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1898.Morse Department of Special CollectionsIntroduction: He who has the privilege of laying out home grounds should consider the work as an art - for it demands quite as much in the way of aesthetic feeling, creative power and executive skill as does the art of sculpture and painting. This is the art which creates beautiful cornposition upon the surface of the ground. We are the painters with the earth as our canvas. It differs from the other arts, in that it uses the same materials as nature herself, as been said: - "This is an Art Which does mend Nature; change it rather but "The Art itself is nature". We see man producing many effects which, under favorable conditions nature herself might have produced without the aid of man. Home should stand for harmony, order, neatness and contentment. In order to have these we must study our surroundings and the materials we have to work with
Reinventing spacetime on a dynamical hypersurface
In braneworld models, Space-Time-Matter and other Kaluza-Klein theories, our
spacetime is devised as a four-dimensional hypersurface {\it orthogonal} to the
extra dimension in a five-dimensional bulk. We show that the FRW line element
can be "reinvented" on a dynamical four-dimensional hypersurface, which is {\it
not} orthogonal to the extra dimension, without any internal contradiction.
This hypersurface is selected by the requirement of continuity of the metric
and depends explicitly on the evolution of the extra dimension. The main
difference between the "conventional" FRW, on an orthogonal hypersurface, and
the new one is that the later contains higher-dimensional modifications to the
regular matter density and pressure in 4D. We compare the evolution of the
spacetime in these two interpretations. We find that a wealth of "new" physics
can be derived from a five-dimensional metric if it is interpreted on a
dynamical (non-orthogonal) 4D hypersurface. In particular, in the context of a
well-known cosmological metric in , we construct a FRW model which is
consistent with the late accelerated expansion of the universe, while fitting
simultaneously the observational data for the deceleration parameter. The model
predicts an effective equation of state for the universe, which is consistent
with observations.Comment: References added to the Introduction, and Abstract modified. Accepted

Evolutionary Tracks of Trapped, Accreting Protoplanets: the Origin of the Observed Mass-Period Relation
The large number of observed exoplanets ( 700) provides important
constraints on their origin as deduced from the mass-period diagram of planets.
The most surprising features in the diagram are 1) the (apparent) pile up of
gas giants at a period of days ( AU) and 2) the so-called
mass-period relation which indicates that planetary mass is an increasing
function of orbital period. We construct the evolutionary tracks of growing
planets at planet traps in evolving protoplanetary disks and show that they
provide a good physical understanding of how these observational properties
arise. The fundamental feature of our model is that inhomogeneities in
protoplanetary disks give rise to multiple (up to 3) trapping sites for rapid
(type I) planetary migration of planetary cores. The viscous evolution of disks
results in the slow radial movement of the traps and their cores from large to
small orbital periods. In our model, the slow inward motion of planet traps is
coupled with the standard core accretion scenario for planetary growth. As
planets grow, type II migration takes over. Planet growth and radial movement
are ultimately stalled by the dispersal of gas disks via photoevaporation. Our
model makes a number of important predictions: that distinct sub-populations of
planets that reflect the properties of planet traps where they have grown
result in the mass-period relation; that the presence of these sub-populations
naturally explains a pile-up of planets at AU; and that evolutionary
tracks from the ice line do put planets at short periods and fill an earlier
claimed "planet desert" - sparse population of planets in the mass-semi-major
axis diagram.Comment: 20 pages, 11 figures, 9 tables; accepted for publication in ApJ. No
change in our conclusions while more discussion is added for supporting the
importance of planet trap
