Occurrence And Characterization Of Fusarium Spp. Isolated From Mangrove Soils

Genus Fusarium adalah antara kulat fitopatogen dan toksigen penting yang tersebar secara meluas dalam alam semula jadi. Kajian ini bertujuan menentukan keberlakuan dan ciri-ciri pencilan Fusarium daripada tanah bakau, yang terkenal dengan flora dan fauna, sebaliknya tidak begitu diketahui sebagai substrat bagi Fusarium spp.. Sejumlah 136 pencilan Fusarium telah dipencilkan daripada sampel tanah bakau yang diambil dari pada beberapa kawasan bakau di Pulau Pinang dan Kedah. The genus Fusarium is among the most important phytopathogenic and toxigenic fungi, widely spread in nature. The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence and characterize Fusarium isolates from mangrove soils which are well known for its flora and fauna, but poorly known as substrate of Fusarium species

Pemetaan Daerah Rawan Longsor Berbasis Gis di Kota Batu

Kota Batu terletak didaerah pegunungan dan ditetapkan oleh Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana (BNPB) Jawa Timur sebagai daerah perbukitan yang rawan longsor. Tanah Longsor tidak dapat dicegah secara pasti  namun  kita  dapat  melakuakan  upaya  untuk  meminimalisir  terjadinya  tanah  longsor  pada  daerah  rawan longsor. Tanah longsor di Kota batu dapat menggangu kelancaran mobilitas dan merugikan masyarakat karena akses mobilitas atau jalan disana terdiri dari lereng dan bukit yang terjal. Adanya pemetaan pada daerah rawan longsor akan  membantu untuk  meminimalisir terjadinya tanah longsor. Dari permasalahan diatas  saya sebagai penulis ingin mengambil judul Pemetaan Daerah Rawan Longsor Berbasis GIS Di Kota Batu untuk membantu masyarakat  secara  update  mengetahui  dan  mengawasi  daerah  yang  dijadikan  titik  rawan  longsor  agar  dapat meminimalisir  jatuhnya  korban  dan  kerugian  yang  banyak  ketika  terjadi  tanah  longsor  dengan  menggunakan metode SMART (Simple Multi Attribute Rating Technique) untuk menentukan tingkat status daerah rawa

Is Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics compatible with Duality

Supersymmetry applied to quantum mechanics has given new insights in various topics of theoretical physics like analytically solvable potentials, WKB approximation or KdV solitons. Duality plays a central role in many supersymmetric theories such as Yang-Mills theories or strings models. We investigate the possible existence of some duality within supersymmetric quantum mechanics.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figure

Transient Myeloproliferative Disorder and Down Syndrome Is there a link?

An extremely premature male neonate presented with an unusual multisystem dysfunction within the first 24 to 48 hours of life. The unfolding of clinical events and investigations revealed a transient myeloproliferative disorder (TMD). TMD was the main indication for karyotyping of this premature infant without clinical symptoms of Down syndrome. The awareness of TMD in a newborn warrants karyotype analysis to look for trisomy 21 and a close surveillance because of its potential progression to true leukaemia.

Adoption Of Social Networks In Business: Study Of Users And Potential Users In Oman

Web 2.0 technologies have become effective tools in recent years, being used by people everywhere for everything. One of the most effective types of Web 2.0 technology is online social networks.

From this standpoint, this research investigates and attempts to understand the adoption of social networks in business. This research raises three main questions: 1) What is the impact of utilizing social networks in business?, 2) How does business increase opportunities by adopting social networks?, and 3) What are the obstacles that discourage certain organizations from utilizing social networks in their business? The main theoretical objectives of this research are to investigate and explore the opportunities and reasons behind adopting social networks in business, to investigate the impacts of social networks on business and what the consequences are for individual businesses, and to discover the reasons which are preventing certain businesses from adopting social networks. In order to achieve the research’s objectives about 130 questionnaires were distributed to different private organizations in Oman. Some of the initial findings of this exploratory study are that the majority of organizations that participated fall into the ‘services’ category; 57% of the respondents have face-to-face meetings as well as online/email to communicate with their customers, and 81% of these organizations allow their employees to access/browse the Internet during working hours; 31% of the organizations said that the main gain from utilizing social networking is to encourage and empower employees to discuss ideas, post news, ask questions, and share links; 62% of the organizations agreed that one of the obstacles preventing them from adopting social networking is the lack of quantifiable business benefits. This study is expected to help businesses that are trying to gain competitive advantage by deploying these new technologies and ideas for the enhancement of their operations
