The malting industry requires malt with a high extract yield, high levels of enzyme activity, and good modification to manufacture beer of excellent quality. The basic raw material for the beer production is the malting barley whose quality is of primary significance. Therefore, barley must be able to germinate vigorously and be post-harvest mature to meet these requirements. We find out to what extent barley physiological parameters influence the changes of malt technological parameters during post-harvest storage. The malt technological parameters investigated were the extract, relative extract at 45°C, Kolbach index, apparent final attenuation, friability, and wort β-glucan in relation to the germination energy and germination index. On the basis of the results obtained, it was found out that the germination index is the most suitable physiological parameter in view of the correlations with malt technological parameters, mainly the extract (r = 0.57) and relative extract at 45°C (r = 0.77). The germination index could be therefore used in the malting industry as a suitable indicator of the malting potential.

Weather influences the production and productivity of various crops. If farmers aware about           the real time weather factors such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind           direction and rainfall it will be the effective to prevent the crop failure and achieve high yield with better economic returns. The right weather information at right time facilitates the farmers to plan agricultural operations from selection of crops to post harvest to avoid crop losses. 382 AAS bulletins were prepared and disseminated to the farmers during 2019-2020. To study the            effect of weather based agro-advisory services, a random sample survey was conducted from 60 farmers from villages of Tiruvallur and Tiruttani block of Tiruvallur district. Results indicated that focusing illiterate farmers are much more important and dissemination of weather advisories in audio or visual format is preferable to make them to adapt weather based agricultural practices. The survey revealed that 65 per cent of farmers check weather forecast before going for spraying operation, 73 per cent for irrigation and 55 per cent for animal husbandry maintenance. Our study revealed that the farmers focus more on spraying and irrigation operation based on weather forecast. Further, awareness is to be created to realize that they should also need to follow weather forecasts from the selection of crop to post harvest in order to achieve better productivity and good income.

Fertilizer is one of the crucial means to improving rice productivity. The purpose of this research is to know and understand the behavior of nitrogen in the soil and plant rice (Oryza sativa L.) as well as the highest yields in Fluvaquentic Epiaquepts. This study was conducted in May through September 2015 at the Experimental Garden of Soil and Water Management, Faculty of Agriculture Padjadjaran University, Jatinangor, Sumedang regency. The altitude of place was 725 meters above sea level. The study design used randomized block design (RAK) with ten treatments, various dosage level of NPK 18:8:18 combined with the setting puddles and three replications, thus totaling thirty experimental plots. The results showed a real effect due to the provision of various level dose of NPK 18:8:18 and combinations of settings puddles on plant growth, the content of soil-N, absorption-N, and rice yields, both at the time of vegetative end as well as post-harvest rice. In addition, treatment of NPK 18:8:18 by setting a puddle able to deliver the highest yield at the time of post-harvest each by N-total of 0,64%; N-organic 0,26%; N-NH4 0,11%; N-NO3 0,31%; and absorption-N of plants by 1,80%. This resulted in a relatively high yield of 9.952 kg.ha-1, but not significantly different from NPK doses of 450 and 600 kg.ha-1.Keywords: NPK doses, soil-N, absorption-N, rice yield

 Rice is a staple food for the people of Indonesia. Even though Indonesia is an agrarian country, Indonesia currently imports rice. In producing rice from rice there are obstacles. One of the main obstacles is post-harvest handling of rice with high yield loss during post-harvest. The amount of post-harvest loss occurs because most farmers still use traditional methods or the handling is not good and right. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the capacity of the grinding machine and the quality of sosoh rice produced by the mill and to know the quality comparison of various types of grinding machine capacity. The research was carried out in the area of ??Wanasari Village, Tabanan-Bali to find out the quality of sosoh rice in the region. Head Rice is broken rice grains, both healthy and defective, which have a size greater than or equal to 6/10 part of the average length size of whole rice grains that can pass through the surface of the indented plate basin with a requirement of 4.2 mm hole size. Rice husk is a protective cover from rice grains which is separated from seeds during the grinding process. In the grinding process, there is rice which remains the husk which is caused by the power / rpm of the grinding machine which is too low because the friction force produced by the engine is not sufficient for the overall release of rice husk

AAC Synergy is a hulled two-row spring malting barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivar with high yield and is widely adapted to western Canada. Developed from the cross TR02267/Newdale made in 2002, AAC Synergy was evaluated in the Western Cooperative Two-row Barley Registration Test (2009–2010) and the Collaborative Malting Barley Trials (2010–2011) conducted by the malting and brewing industry before being registered in 2012. AAC Synergy's excellent combination of agronomic traits, disease resistance and desirable malting quality traits should make it a useful cultivar for producers and the malting and brewing industry.

Carbon films have been a support of choice for high resolution electron microscopy since the introduction of vacuum evaporation of carbon. The desirable qualities of carbon films and methods of producing them has been extensively reviewed. It is difficult to get a high yield of grids by many of these methods, especially if virtually all of the windows must be covered with a tightly bonded, quality film of predictable thickness. We report here a method for producing carbon foils designed to maximize these attributes: 1) coverage of virtually all grid windows, 2) freedom from holes, wrinkles or folds, 3) good adhesion between film and grid, 4) uniformity of film and low noise structure, 5) predictability of film thickness, and 6) reproducibility.Our method utilizes vacuum evaporation of carbon from a fiber onto celloidin film and grid bars, adhesion of the film complex to the grid by carbon-carbon contact, and removal of the celloidin by acetone dissolution. Materials must be of high purity, and cleanliness must be rigorously maintained.

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a crystallizable thermoplastic used as composite matrix materials in application which requires high yield stress, high toughness, long term high temperature service, and resistance to solvent and radiation. There have been several reports on the crystallization behavior of neat PEEK and of CF/PEEK composite. Other reports discussed the effects of crystallization on the mechanical properties of PEEK and CF/PEEK composites. However, these reports were all concerned with the crystallization or melting processes at or close to atmospheric pressure. Thus, the effects of high pressure on the crystallization of CF/PEEK will be examined in this study.The continuous carbon fiber reinforced PEEK (CF/PEEK) laminate composite with 68 wt.% of fibers was obtained from Imperial Chemical Industry (ICI). For the high pressure experiments, HIP was used to keep these samples under 1000, 1500 or 2000 atm. Then the samples were slowly cooled from 420 °C to 60 °C in the cooling rate about 1 - 2 degree per minute to induce high pressure crystallization. After the high pressure treatment, the samples were scanned in regular DSC to study the crystallinity and the melting temperature. Following the regular polishing, etching, and gold coating of the sample surface, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to image the microstructure of the crystals. Also the samples about 25mmx5mmx3mm were prepared for the 3-point bending tests.
