    Tidal swampland is one of sub optimal land that potential as a backup of fertile field in Java island. However, due to the global climate change, negatively impact the paddy production including the cropping time that shifted year by year. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop a cropping calendar map of tidal swampland in three conditions, i.e. dry, normal, and wet years. This map was developed by analyzing the relationship between precipitation and tide overflow data. Also, primary data from field survey and farmer questionnaire were used for verification. The area was delineated by cropping calendar combined with administration, climate, tidal swampland, and rice field map.  Using this map, the cropping time in tidal swampland field can be potentially increased become twice a year. By proper cropping time, the paddy production in tidal swampland of South Kalimantan also potentially will increased directly

    Global Analysis Of The Relationship Between Precipitation And Vegetation Dynamics Derived From Noaa/avhrr-ndvi (Analisis Global Dinamika Curah Hujan dan Vegetasi Berdasarkan Indeks Vegetasi Noaa/avhrr)

    The study of changes in global precipitation patterns is a key element in the ongoing research of climate change. There are also changes that occur over the land surface, such as in vegetation, which are associated with changes in precipitation. However, a better understanding of precipitation- vegetation relationships on various time and space scales is needed.There were many studies on relationship between rainfall to NDVI such as in East Africa1), Bostwana2), Sahel3), Amazon and Northeastern Brazil4), China5), and also in global scale6)7). From those studies, the relation of precipitation and NDVI is complex, such as reported by Kerr8) that its relationship was linear in Senegal, while by Lu5) the relationship was quadratic in China. Additionally, Milich and Weiss3) found that the relationship was inconsistent from the year to the year in Sahel, Africa.Hence, this paper attempts to explore the relationship between climate variables and the vegetation dynamic derived from NOOA/AVHRR-NDVI value, based on either spatial scale or point data. The authors also tried to investigate the possibility to study the global environmental change by using satellite data

    On the spatial and temporal coherence of wireless vehicular short range channels

    We consider spatial and temporal coherence of the vehicle–to–vehicle (V2V) wireless communication channel with focus on a suburban residential highway. The dominant reflectors in such an environment are vehicles passing in the adjacent lane and houses along the road. Instead of treating the reflectors as point targets, the V2V short range propagation environment requires partitioning of the illuminated reflector side into sufficiently small tiles. The channel transfer function is obtained as a superposition of specular reflections from the tiles, the line–of–sight (LOS) component, and the ground reflection. The tile size is selected to ensure that the ratio of the tile area to the tile–to–receiver distance satisfies the far field conditions. The reflected power is described by the tile radar cross section (RCS). The bistatic physical optics RCS model is adapted to account for the tile’s orientation with respect to the ray geometry. We apply the superposition model to the numerical analysis of two general scenarios for a 22MHz channel in the 2.4GHz band. The first scenario considers a single vehicle reflector passing in the lane adjacent to the V2V communication pair. Both the vector network analyzer (VNA) experiments and the tiling model analysis illustrate that repositioning of the reflector, the transmitter, or the receiver by a few centimeters results in change of the signal power by several decibels. The second scenario analysis characterizes the channel coherence statistics for the suburban residential highway. We consider the V2V single lane LOS and non–LOS geometries, where in the latter the receiver is shadowed by a large vehicle. The reflectors are both houses and vehicles passing in the opposite direction. The measure of channel coherence is the normalized spatial covariance calculated by correlating transfer functions corresponding to feasible receiver position pairs and performing spatial smoothing. The area of feasible receiver positions is divided into contiguous squares whose size ensures wide sense quasi–stationarity within the square. Irrespective of direction the correlation remains high and a typical sedan roof usually does not provide sufficient spacing to obtain average inter–antenna correlation lower than 0.5. The upper bound on coherence time extends over the transmission time of multiple packets for systems in the considered band, and does not allow for usable time diversity.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Haris Krem

    Ameliorant Application on Variation of Carbon Stock and Ash Content on Peatland South Kalimantan

    Full text link
    Carbon stock on peatlands are large and will be easily emitted if the land is opened or drained, therefore the measurements of carbon stocks and ash content are important to know the amount of emissions and agricultural sustainability in peatlands. This study aimed to determine carbon stock and ash content on peatlands in the Indonesia Climate Change Trust Fund (ICCTF) located in South Kalimantan on the geographic position S. 03°25’52" and E. 114°47’6.5". The experiment consisted of six treatments of ameliorant materials namely; mineral soil, peat fertilizer A, peat fertilizer T, manure, ash, and control. The results showed that the variation of peat soil properties was very high at this location. Peat thickness ranged from 36-338 cm, and this led to high variations in carbon stocks ranged between 161.8 – 1142.2 Mg ha-1. Besides ash contents of the soil were also highly varied ranged from 3.4 – 28.5%. This natural variation greatly affected the ICCTF study design. Mineral soil treatment had a mean carbon stock (961.3 ± 61.5 Mg ha-1) which was higher and different from other treatments. High ash content was obtained in the ash treatment (18.6 ± 2.5%) and manure (15.7 ± 3.6%). It is recommended that the analysis of plant responses and greenhouse gas emissions using a single regression analysis and multiple regression with ash content as one of the independent variables are needed
