Brane Cube Realization of Three-dimensional Nonabelian Orbifolds

We study D-branes on three-dimensional orbifolds ${\bf C}^3/\Gamma$ where $\Gamma$ are finite subgroups of SU(3). The quiver diagram of \ZnZn \in SU(3) can be expressed in three-dimensional form. According to the correspondence between quiver diagrams and brane configurations, we construct a brane configuration for {\bf C}^3/\ZnZn which has essentially three-dimensional structrue. Brane configurations for nonabelian orbifolds \C^3/\Delta(3n^2) and \C^3/\Delta(6n^2) are obtained from that for \C^3/\ZnZn by certain quotienting procedure.Comment: 19 pages, 14 figure

Pengaruh Kondisi Penyimpanan terhadap Pertumbuhan Jamur pada Gambir

Gambir is the extracted form of dried leaves and twigs of Uncaria gambier (Hunter) Roxb plant. Gambir is frequently experiencing quality decline due to unfavourable storage condition that accelerate the mold growth. The mold growth prevention has been done through a study by using teratments of package types (A) consisting of carboard paper (A1), plastic sack (A2), and jute sack (A3) as well storage conditions (B) consisting of open space at 25–290C with humidity of 70% (B1) and closed space/warehouse at 24–260C with humidity of 80% (B1). Observation was done for 12 weeks in term of mold growth, yeast types identification and water content. Results of mold type identification by using microscope showed the Aspergillus sp. genus consisting species of Aspergillus Niger, Aspergillus fumigatus and Penicillium. The storage condition had effect on water content and mold growth. The lowest rate of water content increment during storage was found on A3B1 treatment (0.16%) and the highest one was on A2B1 treatment (0.64%). The lowest rate for weekly mold growth was found on A3B1 treatment (78,330 colony/g) at open spacestorage with temperature of 25–290C and humidity of 70% using yute sack. The yute sack package is better for storage of gambir product in term of water content increment and mold growth

Finding of no significant impact and decision notice for Riverside allotment management plan/agreement

8 pp. This allotment is located approximately 50 air miles east of Burns, Oregon. Captured August 7, 2007.Proposes to remedy problems found in analysis determining that upland watershed function, riparian and wetland areas watershed function, ecological processes, water quality, and native Threatened and Endangered, and locally important species standards were not being achieved. Includes adjusting the season of use and pasture use periods to allow for periodic growing season rest for key forage species in each pasture, constructing a reservoir in a nearby ephemeral drainage and fencing the creek to leave one emergency use water gap, fencing the creek and installing a year-round water gap(s) if reservoir is not successful, and piping water from an adjacent pasture where a water storage tank would be constructed

Siblings, asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis and eczema: a worldwide perspective from the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood.

BACKGROUND: Associations of larger families with lower prevalences of hay fever, eczema and objective markers of allergic sensitization have been found fairly consistently in affluent countries, but little is known about these relationships in less affluent countries. METHODS: Questionnaire data for 210,200 children aged 6-7 years from 31 countries, and 337,226 children aged 13-14 years from 52 countries, were collected by Phase Three of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC). Associations of disease symptoms and labels of asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis and eczema were analysed by numbers of total, older and younger siblings, using mixed (multi-level) logistic regression models to adjust for individual covariates and at the centre level for region, language and national affluence. RESULTS: In both age groups, inverse trends (P < 0.0001) were observed for reported 'hay fever ever' and 'eczema ever' with increasing numbers of total siblings, and more specifically older siblings. These inverse associations were significantly (P < 0.005) stronger in more affluent countries. In contrast, symptoms of severe asthma and severe eczema were positively associated (P < 0.0001) with total sibship size in both age groups. These associations with disease severity were largely independent of position within the sibship and national GNI per capita. CONCLUSIONS: These global findings on sibship size and childhood asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis and eczema suggest at least two distinct trends. Inverse associations with older siblings (observations which prompted the 'hygiene hypothesis' for allergic disease) are mainly a phenomenon of more affluent countries, whereas greater severity of symptoms in larger families is globally more widespread
