Etude génétique de la granulométrie des fèves de cacaoyer (Theobroma cacao L.) : relation avec des caractères agronomiques

La granulométrie des fèves de cacaoyer est étudiée dans un essai diallèle 6 x 6, installé au sud-ouest du Cameroun. Les taux de cabosses affectées par la pourriture brune et la production réelle permettent une analyse des corrélations avec la taille des fèves. L'aptitude générale à la combinaison constitue la principale source de variation de la granulométrie et ce caractère présente une grande héritabilité. La corrélation génétique d'additivité positive entre la granulométrie et le taux de cabosses pourries implique que les transmissions de ces caractères sont génétiquement liées. Dans les sélections en cours pour la résistance à la pourriture brune des cabosses, la granulométrie doit être étudiée, afin d'éviter une baisse de la taille des fèves. Une sélection sur index est recommandée pour maintenir la granulométrie et augmenter les niveaux de résistance. (Résumé d'auteur

Purchasing Power, Fruits Vegetables Consumption, Nutrition Status Among Elementary School Student

Food purchasing power is usually defined as a household\u27s economic ability to obtain food which is determined by measuring the income allocated for food purchase, the price of food consumed, and the number of family members. More than 50% of the sub-districts in South Central Timor are vulnerable to food consumption due to their low purchasing power, thus causing low fruits and vegetables consumption. To analyze the correlation between purchasing power, fruits and vegetables consumption, with nutrition status of elementary school students. Analytic observational using a cross sectional design. Sample size of 108 students was achieved using simple random sampling method. Independent variables are purchasing power, fruits and vegetables consumption. Dependent variable is nutrition status. Fruits and vegetables consumption data was collected using food frequency, purchasing power data was collected using questionnaires, and nutrition status was collected by calculating IMT/U. The statistics tests used were chi square test. The mean number of fruits and vegetables consumption of the elementary students was 0,36±0,483 and the mean number of purchasing power was 2,80±0,405. Bivariate study test results show a significant correlation between purchasing power and nutrition status (p=0,039) and a significant correlation between fruits and vegetables consumption and nutrition status (p=0,000). There is a correlation between purchasing power, fruits and vegetables consumption, and nutrition status in elementary school students

UJI NORMALITAS BERDASARKAN METODE ANDERSON-DARLING, CRAMER-VON MISES DAN LILLIEFORS MENGGUNAKAN METODE BOOTSTRAP

Uji normalitas dengan menggunakan metode Anderson-Darling, Cramer-von Mises dan Lilliefors pada data inflasi bulanan Kota-kota di Bali dan Nusa Tenggara dari bulan Januari 2009 sampai bulan Juni 2013 telah diuji dan dihasilkan data berdistribusi normal. Metode bootstrap diterapkan untuk data tersebut dengan pengulangan B = 10.000, 20.000, 30.000, 40.000 dan 50.000 kali diperoleh nilai-p yang sama atau mendekati hasil pada program R. Selanjutnya dibangkitkan sampel dari distribusi normal dengan ukuran sampel n yang berbeda-beda yaitu n = 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000 dan 2000 kemudian berdasarkan sampel tersebut diuji apakah sampel yang dibangkitkan tersebut memenuhi distribusi normal atau tidak dengan menggunakan ketiga metode tersebut. Bila prosedur tersebut diulang sebanyak B = 10.000, 20.000, 30.000, 40.000 dan 50.000 kali dan ditentukan nilai-p maka seperti yang diharapkan data normal acak yang dibangkitkan dengan mean dan simpangan baku yang sama diperoleh data berdistribusi normal. Sedangkan untuk data acak yang dibangkitkan berdasarkan distribusi eksponensial diperoleh nilai-p lebih kecil dari 0.05 sehingga disimpulkan bahwa data tidak berdistribusi normal.

Analisis Anggaran Parsial Penggunaan Pupuk Bokasi Dan Super Aci Pada Tanaman Cabai

Parsial Budget Analysis applies fertilizer Bokasi and Super ACI to Chilli Crop. This research aim to feasibility analysis be financial to influence applies fertilizer Bokasi and Super ACI to chilli crop. This research executed in Screen House property of Politeknik Pertanian Negeri Kupang. Variable observed covers amount and the price of input applied, number of from fresh chillies yielded, the price of result of produce of chilli, advantage of dirty per check and net profit per check and rate of return marjinal per check. Data obtained will be analysed by using parsial budget analytical method. Result of research indicates that applies fertilizer Bokasi and Super ACI in chilli farming told to be competent financially. This thing shown by added value 1,27 for treatment of Super ACI and added value 1,15 for treatment Bokasi. The condition indicates that acceptance of bigger marjinal cleanness than costs changes marjinal as result of treatment of Bokasi and Super AC

Kajian Tentang Karakteristik Modal USAhatani Jeruk Keprok Soe Di Kecamatan Mollo Utara Kabupaten Timor Tengah Selatan

This research was attributed to know farming capital characteristic tangerine Soe, credit picture in Soe tangerine farming, ijon system description and its impact to tangerine farmer income Soe, supporting internal factor picture tangerine farming success, supporting external factor picture tangerine farming success, families propertied farming distribution and investment feasibility zoom Soe tangerine farming. Result observation to point out that capital that is utilized in Soe tangerine farming ranging from Rp 1.000.000 – Rp 15.000.000. Capital source in capital indigenous farming personal farmer. Soe tangerine farmer never get farming credit of institute whichever but BPLM\u27S farming help that acquired of on duty agricultural for the price 32.000.000 about farming group. That relief fund is destined for tangerine production behalf Soe. Analysis result points out just vicinity 10% farmer that stills to utilize ijon system divides farming behalf. Meanwhile its rest around 90% does merchant transactions upon harvests raya. Farmer ability in bring off Soe tangerine farming regarded by age, education and experience gets farming. Local transportation medium that is utilized in distribute input and output is Soe tangerine farming was reasonable. Transportation that is utilized in distributes Soe tangerine largely dominated by Villages transportation. Farming contribution to farmer income reaches 70%. In height, that contribution percentage is reverential because a large part farmer just hangs expectation on Soe tangerine farming. Soe Tangerine farming reasonable financial ala to be sighted of NPV\u27S criterion and B/C Ratio. NPV\u27S point to tall production capacity is Rp 6.328.624, production capacity is Rp 4.943.328 and production capacity contemns Rp 3.276.715.

Methylation status of Vitamin D receptor gene promoter in benign and malignant adrenal tumors

We previously showed a decreased expression of vitamin D receptor (VDR) mRNA/protein in a small group of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) tissues, suggesting the loss of a protective role of VDR against malignant cell growth in this cancer type. Downregulation of VDR gene expression may result from epigenetics events, that is, methylation of cytosine nucleotide of CpG islands in VDR gene promoter. We analyzed methylation of CpG sites in the VDR gene promoter in normal adrenals and adrenocortical tumor samples. Methylation of CpG-rich 5' regions was assessed by bisulfite sequencing PCR using bisulfite-treated DNA from archival microdissected paraffin-embedded adrenocortical tissues. Three normal adrenals and 23 various adrenocortical tumor samples (15 adenomas and 8 carcinomas) were studied. Methylation in the promoter region of VDR gene was found in 3/8 ACCs, while no VDR gene methylation was observed in normal adrenals and adrenocortical adenomas. VDR mRNA and protein levels were lower in ACCs than in benign tumors, and VDR immunostaining was weak or negative in ACCs, including all 3 methylated tissue samples. The association between VDR gene promoter methylation and reduced VDR gene expression is not a rare event in ACC, suggesting that VDR epigenetic inactivation may have a role in adrenocortical carcinogenesi

Pencarian Jalur Terpendek Menggunakan Algoritma Ant Colony Optimization

Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) merupakan algoritma heuristic yang telah terbukti diterapkan ke sejumlah masalah Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) dan mampu menemukan jalur terpendek dengan baik.
