Controlling as a regulator of the restructuring of finance of agricultural enterprises

У статті розглянуто контролінг як важливий регулятор проведення реструктуризаційних перетворень фінансів аграрних підприємств України. Аргументовано, що впровадження системи контролінгу є актуальним для аграрних українських підприємств. Зауважено, що надзвичайно важливо правильно організувати систему контролінгу на підприємстві із врахуванням виду економічної діяльності та специфіки його функціонально-організаційної структури. Визначено, що використання інструментів контролінгу як інноваційної складової управління на вітчизняних аграрних підприємствах має сприяти істотному підвищенню ефективності їх діяльності, конкурентоздатності, зміцненню позицій суб’єктів підприємництва на внутрішньому та зовнішніх ринках.The article deals with the controlling as an important regulator of restructuring transformations finance of agricultural enterprises of Ukraine. It is argued that the introduction is vital for controlling the agricultural Ukrainian enterprises. It is extremely important to organize a system of controlling of the company, taking into account economic activity and specificity of its functional and organizational structure. The use of instruments of financial controlling as part of management innovation in domestic agricultural enterprises should contribute to significant business efficiency, competitiveness; strengthen the position of business entities in the domestic and foreign markets

Experimental infection of chickens as candidate sentinels for West Nile virus.

We evaluated the susceptibility, duration and intensity of viremia, and serologic responses of chickens to West Nile (WN) virus (WNV-NY99) infection by needle, mosquito, or oral inoculation. None of 21 infected chickens developed clinical disease, and all these developed neutralizing antibodies. Although viremias were detectable in all but one chicken, the magnitude (mean peak viremia <10,000 PFU/mL) was deemed insufficient to infect vector mosquitoes. WNV-NY99 was detected in cloacal and/or throat swabs from 13 of these chickens, and direct transmission of WNV-NY99 between chickens occurred once (in 16 trials), from a needle-inoculated bird. Nine chickens that ingested WNV-NY99 failed to become infected. The domestic chickens in this study were susceptible to WN virus infection, developed detectable antibodies, survived infection, and with one exception failed to infect cage mates. These are all considered positive attributes of a sentinel species for WN virus surveillance programs

Identification of Acacia Mangium Provenances for Solid-wood Forest Plantations

Provenance trial is a planting test aimed at fi nding the best provenance for establishing forest plantations. Such best provenance depends on the type of fi nal harvest or yield expected. The objective of this research was to identify A. mangium provenances that were suitable for forest plantation producing solid woods for construction and furniture. A total of 225 samples of 15 provenances from Papua New Guinea and Australia were planted in three blocks in Parungpanjang, Bogor, West Java. The measured parameters included tree height, clear bole height, stem diameter, tree volume, stem form, branching habit, and crown form. Bi-plot analysis indicated that Kini WP, Keru Village WP, Derideri R. Morehead, and Claudia River were the best provenances in terms of productivity. Correspondence analysis showed that almost all provenances were equally good in stem form, but they varied in branching system as well as crown form. Provenances Kini WP, Keru Village WP, Kiriwo/Serisa WP, and Bimadebun Village possessed the better branching habit. In terms of crown form provenances Dimisi Village WP, Kiriwo/Serisa WP, and Derideri R. Morehead exhibited a good performance. In general, fi ve provenances, i.e. Kini WP, Keru Village WP, Derideri R. Morehead, Kiriwo/Serisa WP, and Claudia River were considered appropriate for seed sources supplying seeds for industrial plantation development intended to produce construction and furniture material

Desain Dan Uji Prototipe Alat Pasteurisasi Susu Berbasis Teknologi Irradiasi Ultraviolet (Kajian Dosis Uv)

The process of milk pasteurization generally use thermal method. The method can cause microorganisms inactive on the other side, the method result in the degradation of quality food. An alternative method that can be used is by using technology of ultraviolet irradiation. Ultraviolet light has short wavelength with a very strong antimicrobacterialenergy.The mechanism of its wor is by absorbing the energy by nucleid acid without causing damaged on the surface of cel. The absorbed energy will cause the bonding of tymine (dimer tymine) so that the function of nucleic acid is disturbed and it cause the dead of microorganism (Lay and of Hastowo, 1992). The devices used in this research are ultraviolet lamp type C, spiral hose, supporting frame, materials containers and the devices for measuring the amount of microbes, fat, specific gravity and colour. Materials used in this research is fresh milk that obtained from KUD DAU Malang. The result are pasteurization process with UV irradiation decrease microorganisms and fat in milk

Active tuning of high-Q dielectric metasurfaces

We demonstrate the active tuning of all-dielectric metasurfaces exhibiting high-quality factor (high-Q) resonances. The active control is provided by embedding the asymmetric silicon meta-atoms with liquid crystals, which allows the relative index of refraction to be controlled through heating. It is found that high quality factor resonances ($Q=270\pm30$) can be tuned over more than three resonance widths. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of using all-dielectric metasurfaces to construct tunable narrow-band filters.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figure

Comparative West Nile virus detection in organs of naturally infected American Crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos).

Widespread deaths of American Crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos)were associated with the 1999 outbreak of West Nile (WN) virus in the New York City region. We compared six organs from 20 crow carcasses as targets for WN virus detection. Half the carcasses had at least one positive test result for WN virus infection. The brain was the most sensitive test organ; it was the only positive organ for three of the positive crows. The sensitivity of crow organs as targets for WN virus detection makes crow death useful for WN virus surveillance
