Effect of Animal Manure on Forage Yield and Quality of Pangolagrass and Soil Fertility

Animal wastes may cause environmental pollution. Lu & Hsu (2004) reported that N utilisation in the manure by pangolagrass was 10-28%. Objectives of this study were to determine the effect of animal manure on forage yield and quality of pangolagrass and soil fertility

Prosody-Driven Movement? Evidence from Bangla

This paper addresses a longstanding puzzle in Bangla syntax regarding the position of the complementizer particle je (cf. Bayer and Dasgupta 2010, Bhattacharya 2001 and Hsu 2015). Preposing of finite complement clauses is observed to be related to the position occupied by the complementizer je within the complement clause. Some earlier accounts have tried to explain the phenomenon with the help of information-structure-driven movements, while the other has been a syntax-phonology interface approach (Hsu 2015). This paper suggests a novel connection between the movement of an element to the left of the je particle and scrambling in Bangla. Finally, a syntax-phonology interface account along the lines of Hsu (2015) is suggested, where the final positioning of the complementizer and the complement clause is determined by an interaction of post-syntactic constraints

Karakteristik Tanah Gambut Transisi dan Gambut Pedalaman Kalimantan Selatan pada Tingkat Perombakan Hemik

Peat soil has various characteristics due to differences in peat-forming materials, formation processes, and environmental conditions. In South Kalimantan, the environment of peat formation is more dominant in the form of transition peat and inland peat. This study aims to determine the characteristics of transition peat soil and inland peat, including soil pH, total acidity, carboxylic functional groups (-COOH) and OH-phenolic functional groups, in South Kalimantan at the level of hemic reshuffle. This study used a purposive sampling method with regard to the decompotion degree of peat, i.e., hemic (half baked). The soil used comes from transitional peat (Sub-district of North Ulin/LUU and West Ulin Platform/LUB) and inland peat (Banjang District, Hulu Sungai Utara/HSU) and Kandangan Subdistrict, Hulu Sungai Selatan/HSS). The results showed that soil acidity in transitional peat (LUU and LUB) was higher than inland peat (HSU and HSS) as indicated by the pH value of transitional peat soil with a range of 4.25 and a total acidity concentration of 234.16 cmol kg-1 for transitional peat, while the carboxylic groups (-COOH) concentration in transition peat (LUU and LUB) and inland peat (HSU and HSS) showed almost the same concentration of 94.91 cmol kg-1 in transitional peat (LUU and LUB) and 92.83 cmol kg-1 in inland peat (HSU and HSS). The concentration of OH-phenolic groups in transitional peat (LUU and LUB) is higher than inland peat (HSU and HSS), which is indicated by the transitional peat OH-phenolic (LUU and LUB) groups concentration  of 139.25 cmol kg-1
