  • The Subgrade Improvement of the Road Construction with Geotextile Reinforcement on Kolaka Clay
    MATEC Web of Conferences 331, 02006 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/202033102006 ICUDR 2019 The Subgrade Improvement of the Road Construction with Geotextile Reinforcement on Kolaka Clay Irdhiani1*, and Martini1 1Civil Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Tadulako University, Palu, Indonesia Abstract. Subgrade is an important part of road construction. Construction built on fine-grained subgrade such as clay is very susceptible to damage. The purpose of this study was to determine the CBR value with and without geotextile reinforcement as well as to know the effect of geotextile placement on CBR value. Soil material samples was from Kolaka Village, Mori Atas District, North Morowali Regency, Central Sulawesi Province and the geotextile material used was the Woven UW-150 type. Geotextile used for CBR testing was 2 reinforcement sheets with 6 variations of geotextile placement that are successively on each space 1 and 2, 1 and 3, 1 and 4, 2 and 3, 2 and 4 and 3 and 4. The distance between spaces was 3 cm. According to the Unified Classification System, soil samples were included in the CH group (non-organic clays with high plasticity, fat clays), and according to AASTHO was classified in the A-7-5 (53) group, that is clay. Compaction test resulted an optimum water content of 20.80% and maximum dry density of 1.54 gr/cm3. Laboratory CBR values without reinforcement at soaked and unsoaked conditions were respectively 4.61% and 9.68%. The farther the distance between reinforcement as well as the farther the reinforcement distance to the ground surface, the greater the CBR value gained.

  • Disaggregation of Bird Families Listed on Cms Appendix Ii
    Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals 2nd Meeting of the Sessional Committee of the CMS Scientific Council (ScC-SC2) Bonn, Germany, 10 – 14 July 2017 UNEP/CMS/ScC-SC2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II (Prepared by the Appointed Councillors for Birds) Summary: The first meeting of the Sessional Committee of the Scientific Council identified the adoption of a new standard reference for avian taxonomy as an opportunity to disaggregate the higher-level taxa listed on Appendix II and to identify those that are considered to be migratory species and that have an unfavourable conservation status. The current paper presents an initial analysis of the higher-level disaggregation using the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World Volumes 1 and 2 taxonomy, and identifies the challenges in completing the analysis to identify all of the migratory species and the corresponding Range States. The document has been prepared by the COP Appointed Scientific Councilors for Birds. This is a supplementary paper to COP document UNEP/CMS/COP12/Doc.25.3 on Taxonomy and Nomenclature UNEP/CMS/ScC-Sc2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II 1. Through Resolution 11.19, the Conference of Parties adopted as the standard reference for bird taxonomy and nomenclature for Non-Passerine species the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World, Volume 1: Non-Passerines, by Josep del Hoyo and Nigel J.

  • Borneo: Broadbills & Bristleheads
    TROPICAL BIRDING Trip Report: BORNEO June-July 2012 A Tropical Birding Set Departure Tour BORNEO: BROADBILLS & BRISTLEHEADS RHINOCEROS HORNBILL: The big winner of the BIRD OF THE TRIP; with views like this, it’s easy to understand why! 24 June – 9 July 2012 Tour Leader: Sam Woods All but one photo (of the Black-and-yellow Broadbill) were taken by Sam Woods (see http://www.pbase.com/samwoods or his blog, LOST in BIRDING http://www.samwoodsbirding.blogspot.com for more of Sam’s photos) 1 www.tropicalbirding.com Tel: +1-409-515-0514 E-mail: [email protected] TROPICAL BIRDING Trip Report: BORNEO June-July 2012 INTRODUCTION Whichever way you look at it, this year’s tour of Borneo was a resounding success: 297 bird species were recorded, including 45 endemics . We saw all but a few of the endemic birds we were seeking (and the ones missed are mostly rarely seen), and had good weather throughout, with little rain hampering proceedings for any significant length of time. Among the avian highlights were five pitta species seen, with the Blue-banded, Blue-headed, and Black-and-crimson Pittas in particular putting on fantastic shows for all birders present. The Blue-banded was so spectacular it was an obvious shoe-in for one of the top trip birds of the tour from the moment we walked away. Amazingly, despite absolutely stunning views of a male Blue-headed Pitta showing his shimmering cerulean blue cap and deep purple underside to spectacular effect, he never even got a mention in the final highlights of the tour, which completely baffled me; he simply could not have been seen better, and birds simply cannot look any better! However, to mention only the endemics is to miss the mark, as some of the, other, less local birds create as much of a stir, and can bring with them as much fanfare.

The study adopts a spatial analysis approach, in addition to a general analysis of urban forest space requirements using the Malthus exponential method. From this analysis the value 8.90 m2/people set was obtained and subsequently, used as a reference for determining the area of urban forest space. From the value of this constant, a projection model for exponential growth in urban forest spaces in the urban area of Kolonodale (a small city with ퟎ.ퟎퟐퟑퟐ풕 a population of ≤ 20,000 inhabitants) in the next 20 years: Yuf to-t = 9.7799풆 Keywords: Urban forest, Demography, Site description, Malthus exponential, Small town. 1. Introduction The population in urban areas is more than in rural areas. As well the physical development in these areas is faster. As a result, the balance of ecosystems will be affected in urban areas with a consequent increase of air temperature, air pollution, decrease of the groundwater and surface soil, flooding, seawater instruction, increase of the content of heavy metals in groundwater and others. With the aim to maintain the balance of the ecosystem, influenced by an increase in population and physical development in urban areas, is necessary to provide green open space (GOS).

Sulawesi Dwarf Kingfisher Tour Summary Surrounded to the north by the Philippines, to the east by New Guinea, the south by Australia and the west by Borneo, the two larger islands of Sulawesi and Halmahera form a significant part of central Indonesia’s nearly 15000 islands. We recorded over 100 endemics of a total trip list of 254 species, thus emphasising that this is certainly one of the endemic hotspots of the world! Our tour started off with an early morning visit to the limestone crags of Karaenta Forest, Sulawesi. Departing Makassar, we set off early to maximise our limited time as we had a flight to catch in the early afternoon. Arriving just as the sun’s first rays hit the treetops, we were soon enjoying wonderful sightings of stunning Grey-sided and Yellow-sided Flowerpeckers. You could actually feel the sense of excitement in the air as we notched up our first endemics. After enjoying our tea and coffee, we then quickly picked up our main target, the rather localised endemic Black-ringed Whit-eye, which showed splendidly as it sat just in front of us gobbling down some ripe fruit.

  • The Avifauna of Lambusango Forest Reserve, Buton Island, South-East Sulawesi, with Additional Sightings from Southern Buton
    FORKTAIL 28 (2012): 107–112 The avifauna of Lambusango Forest Reserve, Buton Island, south-east Sulawesi, with additional sightings from southern Buton T. E. MARTIN, D. J. KELLY, N. T. KEOGH, D. HERIYADI, H. A. SINGER & G. A. BLACKBURN Lambusango Forest Reserve occupies a large area of south-central Buton, the largest attendant island of Sulawesi, Indonesia. Buton is located off Sulawesi’s south-eastern peninsula and remains poorly known ornithologically. Bird surveys were undertaken in the reserve over eight eight-week long research seasons between June and August in 1999, 2001–2003, 2005, and 2008–2010. Variable radius circular- plot point counts were the primary census method, conducted as part of a long-term biodiversity monitoring programme in the reserve, although data were also collected from 840 mist-netting hours and approximately 2,560 hours of observational data. In total, 79 species were detected in the reserve, including 37 regional endemics (46.8% of the total avifaunal community) and four species considered by the IUCN to be globally threatened or Near Threatened. Additionally, a further 60 species (including two more Near Threatened species) were recorded in various habitats around southern Buton that were not detected in Lambusango Reserve, giving a total of 139 species records for the island. We believe that 51 of these species represent previously unpublished records for Buton. We present here a full account of our records from Lambusango Reserve and southern Buton, with additional details provided for threatened and Near Threatened species and new records of endemics. INTRODUCTION Lambusango Forest Reserve (5°10’–5°24’S 122°43’–123°07’E) is a 65,000 ha expanse of uninhabited tropical monsoon forest, Buton (formerly referred to as Butung) is the largest of Sulawesi’s encompassing much of south-central Buton.
