Tingkah Laku Memijah, Potensi Reproduksi Ikan Betina, dan Optimasi Teknik Pemijahan Ikan Pelangi Iriatherina Werneri Meinken, 1974 [Spawning Behavior, Female Reproductive Potential And Breeding Technique Optimize Of Threadfin Rainbowfish...............

Informasi reproduksi ikan pelangi Iriatherina werneri pada wadah terkontrol masih sedikit diketahui. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan kajian mengenai tingkah laku memijah, potensi reproduksi ikan betina berdasarkan perbedaan pakan (buatan dan alami), dan optimasi teknik pemijahan. Kajian optimasi pemijahan meliputi pengamatan pengaruh perbedaan sistem pemijahan (massal atau individual), perbedaan rasio kelamin pemijahan jantan : betina (1:1, 1:2, dan 1:3), serta perbedaan ukuran betina (kecil, sedang, dan besar) untuk mendukung kegiatan budi daya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bah-wa pemijahan ikan pelangi terjadi pada 13-15 jam sejak pemasangan ikan jantan dan betina yang diawali oleh gerakan ikan jantan mengembangkan dan menguncupkan sirip. Telur yang dikeluarkan pada pemijahan massal berakhir dua jam lebih cepat dibandingkan pemijahan individual dan telur lebih serempak dikeluarkan pagi hari (94,92%). Ikan pelangi merupakan pemijah bertahap yang mampu memijah setiap hari selama 30 hari. Potensi jumlah telur dan larva yang di-hasilkan seekor betina dapat ditingkatkan masing-masing sebanyak empat kali lipat dan 14 kali lipat melalui pemberian pakan alami. Optimasi teknik pemijahan I. werneri dicapai dengan menggunakan sistem massal dengan rasio kelamin 1: 3 dan menggunakan ikan betina berukuran 26,98-35,76 mm

Exclusive electromagnetic production of strangeness on the nucleon : review of recent data in a Regge approach

In view of the numerous experimental results recently released, we provide in this letter an update on the performance of our simple Regge model for strangeness electroproduction on the nucleon. Without refitting any parameters, a decent description of all measured observables and channels is achieved. We also give predictions for spin transfer observables, recently measured at Jefferson Lab which have high sensitivity to discriminate between different theoretical approaches.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure

Generation of ultra-short light pulses by a rapidly ionizing thin foil

A thin and dense plasma layer is created when a sufficiently strong laser pulse impinges on a solid target. The nonlinearity introduced by the time-dependent electron density leads to the generation of harmonics. The pulse duration of the harmonic radiation is related to the risetime of the electron density and thus can be affected by the shape of the incident pulse and its peak field strength. Results are presented from numerical particle-in-cell-simulations of an intense laser pulse interacting with a thin foil target. An analytical model which shows how the harmonics are created is introduced. The proposed scheme might be a promising way towards the generation of attosecond pulses.

The wall shear rate distribution for flow in random sphere packings

The wall shear rate distribution P(gamma) is investigated for pressure-driven Stokes flow through random arrangements of spheres at packing fractions 0.1 <= phi <= 0.64. For dense packings, P(gamma) is monotonic and approximately exponential. As phi --> 0.1, P(gamma) picks up additional structure which corresponds to the flow around isolated spheres, for which an exact result can be obtained. A simple expression for the mean wall shear rate is presented, based on a force-balance argument.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, 1 table, RevTeX 4; significantly revised with significantly extended scop

Squeezed light from spin squeezed atoms

We propose to produce pulses of strongly squeezed light by Raman scattering of a strong laser pulse on a spin squeezed atomic sample. We prove that the emission is restricted to a single field mode which perfectly inherits the quantum correlations of the atomic system.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, revtex4 beta

Age-specific vaccine effectiveness of seasonal 2010/2011 and pandemic influenza A(H1N1) 2009 vaccines in preventing influenza in the United Kingdom

An analysis was undertaken to measure age-specific vaccine effectiveness (VE) of 2010/11 trivalent seasonal influenza vaccine (TIV) and monovalent 2009 pandemic influenza vaccine (PIV) administered in 2009/2010. The test-negative case-control study design was employed based on patients consulting primary care. Overall TIV effectiveness, adjusted for age and month, against confirmed influenza A(H1N1)pdm 2009 infection was 56% (95% CI 42–66); age-specific adjusted VE was 87% (95% CI 45–97) in <5-year-olds and 84% (95% CI 27–97) in 5- to 14-year-olds. Adjusted VE for PIV was only 28% (95% CI x6 to 51) overall and 72% (95% CI 15–91) in <5-year-olds. For confirmed influenza B infection, TIV effectiveness was 57% (95% CI 42–68) and in 5- to 14-year-olds 75% (95% CI 32–91). TIV provided moderate protection against the main circulating strains in 2010/2011, with higher protection in children. PIV administered during the previous season provided residual protection after 1 year, particularly in the <5 years age group
