The Yield Gap Maize under Intensive Cropping System in Central Java
Get PDFThe study aimed to estimate the level of the yield gaps of maize in major producing areas, point out the causes of yield gaps in farmers’ maize fields, and identify opportunities to the existing yield gaps through management practices of maize production in Central Java. This is the strategy for closing the existing yield gaps to achieve food self-sufficiency in agricultural land. Methods to estimates the yield gaps should cover data sources on physical conditions (weather and soil), management practices, and smallholder shapes. The relevant methods for estimating actual yields (Ya), potential (Yp), and water-limited (Yw) were compared. The yield gaps of maize under intensive cropping systems in rainfed ecosystems resulted in significant differences in all cultivation situations. The lowland rainfed maize showed Ya, Yp, and Yw values of 5.57, 12.83, and 12.47 ton/ha, respectively. The major causes of the yield gaps include variety, land preparation, and water issues concerned with the limited water inputs
Peningkatan Ketersediaan Phosphat pada Tanah Masam Melalui Inokulasi BPF dan Penambahan Bahan Organik
Get PDFMinarsih S, Samijan S, Arianti FD. 2020. Increasing the availability of phosphate in acid soils through inoculation of phosphate solubilizing bacteria and adding organic matter to the soil. In: Herlinda S et al. (Eds.), Prosiding Seminar Nasional Lahan Suboptimal ke-8 Tahun 2020, Palembang 20 Oktober 2020. pp. xx. Palembang: Penerbit & Percetakan Universitas Sriwijaya (UNSRI).Phosphate is one of the macro elements whose availability is limited in acid soils because it is bound by soil minerals. Phosphate solubilizing bacteria are able to dissolve phosphate bound by soil minerals so that its availability increases, the addition of organic matter is also able to increase the availability of phosphate through organic acids resulting from its decomposition. This study aims to determine the types of phosphate solubilizing bacteria and kinds of organic matter that can increase the availability of phosphate in the soil. The experiment was carried out in the greenhouse of Sebelas Maret University Surakarta. Using a completely randomized design with 2 factors. Factor I was the inoculation of Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria consisting of 3 levels, namely without inoculation of phosphate solubilizing bacteria (I0), Bacillus subtilis inoculation (I1), and Pseudomonas fluorescent inoculation (I2). The second factor are the type of organic material consisting of 4 levels, namely: no organic matter (B0), rice straw (B1), Tithonia diversifolia (B2), and Leucaena leucochepala (B3). The results showed that the use of Tithonia diversifolia organic matter independently proved to be the most effective in increasing available P in the soil by 261%. Bacillus subtilis combined with organic rice straw was able to increase the availability of P by 169%, then followed by the combination of Bacillus subtilis with organic material Tithonia diversifolia was able to increase P by 155% and the combination of Bacillus subtilis with Leucaena leucochepala increased P by 23%
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Rice Production with Jajar Legowo Planting System without Insertion on Irrigated Paddy Fields
No full textThe Jajar Legowo planting system brings many benefits regarding productivity and planting techniques. Applying Jajar Legowo varies depending on the level of understanding and ease of application. This study aims to determine rice production with several planting systems of Jajar Legowo without insertion (legowo) in irrigated paddy fields. This study compared a Legowo planting system in several types of legowo (legowo 2:1, 4:1, and 6:1) with the regular cropping system or squares. Observational data were analyzed using ANOVA at a 95% confidence level, followed by Duncan’s test if there was a significant difference. The results of the analysis showed that the Legowo planting system showed no significant. The highest production of 5.71 tons/ha of milled dry grain (MDG) was obtained in the square planting system, and the lowest was in the legowo 6:1 planting system (5.51 tons MDG per hectar)
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
