Development Potential of the Areca Nut (Areca catechu L.) in Indonesia | Chapter 3 | Research Perspective on Biological Science Vol. 7

  

The area of Indonesia's Areca nut plantations covers 143,202 hectares and is found across most of the country. The largest concentration is on the island of Sumatra, which accounts for approximately 95,532 hectares or 66.71 % of the total. Areca nuts have a wide range of uses, from traditional ceremonies and textiles to the pharmaceutical industry, making them an important export commodity. Despite their widespread growth and economic importance, research and development into the plant has not kept a significant pace. Exploration efforts to find new, superior varieties that could enrich Indonesia’s genetic diversity and create better seeds have been greatly limited. While 33 provinces in Indonesia have Areca nut populations, only seven have conducted exploration activities with ex-situ collections of 41 Areca accessions and 9 High-Producing Blocks (BPT). To date, the Ministry of Agriculture has officially released only three areca nut varieties as national superior varieties.

Anthropological Explorations of Gender, Identity, and Economics | Chapter 1 | Anthropological Explorations of Gender, Identity, and Economics

 Defined as “Four-field” research endeavor encompassing biological, linguistic, material, and socio-cultural dimensions of the “Human career”, anthropology is clearly the scientific study of humankind in all its components. There are however variations from one academic tradition to the other but the most comprehensive version of anthropological practice is the one developed in the United States of America. In other academic traditions with a few exceptions, the biological dimension – Biological Anthropology [that focuses on the human body] – and the material culture one – Anthropological archaeology – [with a focus on human-made things] are separated from socio-cultural anthropology – [the study of contemporary societies and cultures through participant observation] and linguistic anthropology [the study of language as communication medium].

Students training in anthropology thus varies according academic traditions Despite the tortuous history of teaching anthropology in mainland China, Xiamen university has strived since the re-opening of its anthropology and ethnology department in 2005, with varying success to develop a Four-field approach to the discipline. As conceived and implemented since 2020, the “Writing Anthropology” seminar was designed as an intensive and fast paced graduate students training to craft high standard research papers in English. In the 2022-2023 academic year instalment of Xiamen university “Writing Anthropology” seminar, “Exploration” was the core theme of the work carried out. Graduate students were required to pick a research topic totally different from their planned master and doctoral investigations. They were asked to take risks, to move away from their “research comfort zone” and dare explore new research topics. Exploration in its strict sense refers to entering the unknown. This voyage in the unknown has to be predicated on coherent theoretical orientations and sound methodologies. It was what the seminar sessions combining weekly written and oral presentations were made of. The result of that intensive research semester is presented in this book entitled Anthropological Explorations in Gender, Identity, and Economics. The conducted investigations are arranged in 3 rubrics or parts: gender issues; identity and belonging; and finally, economics.

Application of Artificial Intelligence in Drones in the Mining Industry: A Case Study | Chapter 7 | Research Highlights in Science and Technology Vol. 9

In this branch, we are utilizing AI-stimulate drones for the analysis of agricultural land use in excavating leases. Drones in mining have proved tremendous growth and have further added meaningful value to all mining projects. With better arrangement, in-depth study, diminished expenses, and profound workers' security, the mining industry has erect its hero. The automation of drone control, which involves the control of navigation and evolution, has been made likely by the use of machine intelligence (AI). Numerous techniques, such as GPS pursuing, computer view, and machine learning algorithms, maybe used to implement this application. During the survey, data was grabbed using drone tools within the mining sublet and up to 100 meters from allure boundary. The data was used to devise 3-dimensional models of the excavating lease. The survey area and winged path were forged using KML in software uses, which admitted for precise planning and killing of the drone flights.Drones are crucial for land scrutinizing and mapping due to their singular mix of dimensional coverage and resolution. The Orthomosaic device may produce extreme precision georeferencing if various ground-control points were used. In conjunction with field observations, drones determine a prompt and precise method of recording land data and allure use. A drone survey and mapping movement was conducted within a excavating lease located near the village of Kanthariya, in the Tehsil and District of Chittorgarh, top an area of 64.75 hectares, for the study of agricultural land use in the mining hire. The use of artificial intelligence to mechanize the control of drones is an application of AI in the field of drone electronics. This technology can boost the accuracy and efficiency of drone movements, including traveling and movement.

Study on Geochemical Exploration and Processing Studies for Graphite and Tungsten Minerals from Burugubanda-Tapaskonda Areas of East Godavari District, India| Chapter 1 | Emerging Challenges in Environment and Earth Science Vol. 3

In India's East Godavari district's Burugubanda-Tapaskonda districts, graphite-tungsten mineralization may be found in graphite schists associated with khondalites. The zones of tungsten mineralization in conjunction with the graphite ore bodies were clearly defined by geochemical and geophysical exploration methods, followed by soil and stream sediment analysis. Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and 0.1-0.5 percent WO3 are the fixed carbon and tungsten contents, respectively. Low-grade graphite resources and tungsten materials were submitted to processing experiments using various procedures in order to achieve the highest possible percentage of recovery. The recovered product contains 60-80 percent Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and 60-65 percent WO3. Although the experimental procedure did not provide satisfying results, it may be used/applied to acquire an unknown product as a pre-concentrate that can then be exposed to other relevant processes to produce a better concentrate.
