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
Is confounding considered when estimating treatment-covariate interactions in individual participant data meta-analyses of randomised trials? Protocol for a methodological study
A key question for meta-analyses is reliably assessing whether treatment effects vary across different participant groups, thereby informing how best to treat individual patients. However, it is possible that evidence of an interaction is driven by a different, confounding factor. In a methodological study, we are aiming to assess what methods currently exist to deal with confounding when estimating treatment-covariate interactions and what methods are currently being used in practice. In this protocol, we describe the methodology we are employing in this study
Adaptation of a Filter Assembly to Assess Microbial Bioburden of Pressurant Within a Propulsion System
A report describes an adaptation of a filter assembly to enable it to be used to filter out microorganisms from a propulsion system. The filter assembly has previously been used for particulates greater than 2 micrometers. Projects that utilize large volumes of nonmetallic materials of planetary protection concern pose a challenge to their bioburden budget, as a conservative specification value of 30 spores per cubic centimeter is typically used. Helium was collected utilizing an adapted filtration approach employing an existing Millipore filter assembly apparatus used by the propulsion team for particulate analysis. The filter holder on the assembly has a 47-mm diameter, and typically a 1.2-5 micrometer pore-size filter is used for particulate analysis making it compatible with commercially available sterilization filters (0.22 micrometers) that are necessary for biological sampling. This adaptation to an existing technology provides a proof-of-concept and a demonstration of successful use in a ground equipment system. This adaptation has demonstrated that the Millipore filter assembly can be utilized to filter out microorganisms from a propulsion system, whereas in previous uses the filter assembly was utilized for particulates greater than 2 micrometers
Individual participant data meta-analysis to examine interactions between treatment effect and participant-level covariates: statistical recommendations for conduct and planning
Precision medicine research often searches for treatmentâcovariate interactions, which refers to when a treatment effect (eg, measured as a mean difference, odds ratio, hazard ratio) changes across values of a participantâlevel covariate (eg, age, gender, biomarker). Single trials do not usually have sufficient power to detect genuine treatmentâcovariate interactions, which motivate the sharing of individual participant data (IPD) from multiple trials for metaâanalysis. Here, we provide statistical recommendations for conducting and planning an IPD metaâanalysis of randomized trials to examine treatmentâcovariate interactions. For conduct, twoâstage and oneâstage statistical models are described, and we recommend: (i) interactions should be estimated directly, and not by calculating differences in metaâanalysis results for subgroups; (ii) interaction estimates should be based solely on withinâstudy information; (iii) continuous covariates and outcomes should be analyzed on their continuous scale; (iv) nonlinear relationships should be examined for continuous covariates, using a multivariate metaâanalysis of the trend (eg, using restricted cubic spline functions); and (v) translation of interactions into clinical practice is nontrivial, requiring individualized treatment effect prediction. For planning, we describe first why the decision to initiate an IPD metaâanalysis project should not be based on betweenâstudy heterogeneity in the overall treatment effect; and second, how to calculate the power of a potential IPD metaâanalysis project in advance of IPD collection, conditional on characteristics (eg, number of participants, standard deviation of covariates) of the trials (potentially) promising their IPD. Real IPD metaâanalysis projects are used for illustration throughout

Dynamic properties and optical phase conjugation of two-photon pumped ultrashort blue stimulated emission in a chromophore solution
The dynamic properties of two-photon pumped blue lasing (~470 nm) in the solution of an organic chromophore [2-acetyl-6-(dimethylamino)naphthalene], excited by ~160-fs laser pulses at ~775 nm, have been studied. Both the forward and backward stimulated emission are enhanced by feedback from the reflection at the two optical windows of the solution filled cuvette. Under current experimental conditions, the lasing wavelengths in the forward and backward directions were almost the same, but both blueshifted compared to the fluorescence peak wavelength of the sample solution. The temporal behavior of the lasing output was recorded by a high-speed streak camera system. The multipulse structure and spectral properties of the output lasing are semiquantitatively explained. In addition, excellent optical phase-conjugation properties of the backward stimulated emission were observed; the aberration influences from an aberrator on the backward lasing beam were automatically removed
Facilitating the Transition to Model-Based Acquisition
Presented March 11, 2020 at IEEE Aerospace Conference 2020.© IEEEOne major benefit offered by MBSE is the ability to formalize interactions between subsystems in the design process. This formalization eases the transfer of information between parties. The process of government acquisition is likewise characterized by information transfer: diverse requirements must be altered and tracked between the requesting, responding, and evaluating parties. Thus, it is a natural extension of MBSE is to apply it to the acquisition process.
This paper demonstrates a set of tools and patterns developed during a surrogate simulation of an MBSE-enabled Request for Proposal between NAVAIR and a responding contractor. In particular, the tools presented were developed from the NAVAIR Systems Model viewpoint. This paper covers four tools developed in this surrogate pilot. The first analyzes the problem of requirement generation. While standards such as the OMG SysML are being adopted by MBSE practitioners, the model literacy of all stakeholders is unlikely and may never be fully guaranteed. Document generation tools, such as OpenMBEE have been developed for SysML software, which enable presentation of descriptive information about the model. This paper demonstrates modeling patterns and a tool that translates information from native-model form into a text-based format. The second and third tools presented assist in the acquirerâs source selection process. Making use of the patterns which generate the text requirements above, Evaluation and Estimation Models are presented, which can act directly on contractorsâ responses. The Evaluation Model assists the verification process by ensuring numerical requirements are satisfied. The Estimation Model compares the contractorsâ claimed values with historically expected values, to assist directing the source selection expertsâ focus of examination. The fourth tool presented offers a method of extracting historical traceability for model elements. This aids the acquisition process by enabling digital signoff at any stage of the acquisition process. These four tools were applied in the surrogate acquisition process for a notional UAV, and a description of this case study is presented.NAVAIR/SERC RT170/RT195, Contract HQ0034-13-D-00
