Molecular Identification To Verify The Existence Of Helicotylenchus Dihystera In Coffee Plants At East Java, Indonesia, Ankardiansyah Pandu Pradana, Toyoshi Yoshiga

ASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development

Spiral nematodes Helicotylenchus sp. are known to infect a variety of plants, including coffee. This is in line with the studies and surveys of nematodes in Indonesia. However, to date, there has been no study reporting the nematode with molecular analysis. In this study, we surveyed the nematodes in Arabica coffee plantations in Bondowoso regency – Indonesia. These spiral nematodes were collected in DESS solution for morphological, morphometric and molecular analysis. The morphometric analysis was carried out under an Olympus BH-2 compound microscope with an attached calibrated Toupcam M20 camera. The molecular analysis was performed on the total DNA from …

Species Distribution Modelling Using Bioclimatic Variables On Critically Endangered Endemic Species (Macrocephalon Maleo) In Sulawesi, Septianto Aldiansyah, Khalil Abdul Wahid

ASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development

The island of Sulawesi isolates migratory fauna from Asia and Australia and creates animal combinations such as the Maleo (Macrocephalon Maleo). The Maleo population is experiencing a downward trend due to habitat fragmentation, deforestation and threats by humans. This study aims to model the potential distribution of Maleo using several famous current and future models as a result of climate change throughout the island of Sulawesi, not only in its natural habitat, but beyond its natural habitat. Bioclimatic variables and in situ attendance data were used in this study. The method used is Maximum Entropy by evaluating the GLM, SVM …

Post Developmental Mathematics: Experiences In College Algebra For Stem Students, Maria Cruciani

Undergraduate Research (Journal)

Students majoring in a STEM discipline whose sequence of collegiate mathematics begins at the developmental level follow a unique progression towards degree completion. With an elongated sequence of mathematics courses, these students have already had exposure to collegiate mathematics when enrolling in a college algebra course. A structured multiple case study provided a context for understanding students’ perceptions about how their developmental mathematics experiences may have influenced their experiences in college algebra. Qualitative data was gathered through interviews with three students who are majoring in a STEM field of study. The selected students had similar quantitative literacy expectations for their …

Efficacy Of Cloves As A Repellent For Pest Ants (Formicidae), Aadee Malavade

2024 REYES Proceedings

I examined the efficacy of cloves for repellent activity against foraging ants. Control baits consisting of a cracker/paper substrate topped with granulated sugar or chapati (Indian bread) were presented next to treatment baits (cracker/paper, granulated sugar and spice spread over the sugar) to ants in natural habitats. After an hour, the numbers of ants recruiting to the control and treatment baits were recorded. A timed study of ants with 30-minute duration was done to understand behavior of ants over time. Data were analyzed with the sign test. Cloves showed promise as ant repellents.

The Efficacy Of Dry Peppermint Leaves As An Ant Repellent, Amal Chacko

2024 REYES Proceedings

Ant (Formicidae) infestation is a typical residential disturbance, often necessitating the use of chemical repellents that pose environmental and health dangers. This study looks into the possibilities of a natural alternative, dry peppermint (Mentha piperita L) leaves as a chemical repellent. Given the diversity of ant species and their variable responses to stimuli, this study seeks to determine the efficiency of dried peppermint leaves as a general ant repellent. A pilot study will be carried out to determine the repellent qualities of this spice against a specific ant species. The precise aims include evaluating if dry peppermint leaves …

Mathematical Model For The Role Of Multiple Pericentromeric Repeats On Heterochromatin Assembly, Puranjan Ghimire, Mo Motamedi, Richard Joh

Physics Publications

Although the length and constituting sequences for pericentromeric repeats are highly variable across eukaryotes, the presence of multiple pericentromeric repeats is one of the conserved features of the eukaryotic chromosomes. Pericentromeric heterochromatin is often misregulated in human diseases, with the expansion of pericentromeric repeats in human solid cancers. In this article, we have developed a mathematical model of the RNAi-dependent methylation of H3K9 in the pericentromeric region of fission yeast. Our model, which takes copy number as an explicit parameter, predicts that the pericentromere is silenced only if there are many copies of repeats. It becomes bistable or desilenced if …

A Qualitative Inquiry To The Impact Of Peer Teaching On Undergraduate Chemistry Students, Marcus Sambar

Theses and Dissertations

This study investigates the impact of peer teaching on undergraduate STEM majors, particularly those who serve as peer teachers for introductory chemistry courses. While previous research has predominantly focused on the benefits of peer tutoring for the tutored students, the reciprocal impact on peer teachers remains underexplored. The main purpose of this study is to quantify the differences between peer teachers and comparable students who do not engage in teaching, with a specific focus on problem-solving approaches and the ability to explain STEM concepts. The assessment included coding students' work to reveal strategy use and provide a means of comparison …
