Pengaruh Persepsi Masyarakat Batam Tentang Bank Syariah Terhadap Minat Menggunakan Produk Bank Syariah

This research examines the influence of society's perception about sharia bank toward intends to use sharia bank products. The data collection technique was a field survey that using questionnaire to the sample respondents. Sampling method used is accidental sampling method with 100 selected people by accidently. The data analysis method uses multiple linear regression model. The result of this research indicate that people perception about bank sharia in banking system with interest, profit sharing system characteristics and sharia product knowledge, simultaneously have positive significant effect toward intends to use sharia product. Partially, only perception from knowledge of product variable has no influence toward society intends to Sharia bank products. Its means the better understanding about the no-interest banking system and also about profit sharing system as a basis for sharia bank practices, will increase society's intends to use sharia products. Meanwhile, there is no effect for society perception whether they have a better or less knowledge of sharia bank product

Delay-Optimal Relay Selection in Device-to-Device Communications for Smart Grid

The smart grid communication network adopts a hierarchical structure which consists of three kinds of networks which are Home Area Networks (HANs), Neighborhood Area Networks (NANs), and Wide Area Networks (WANs). The smart grid NANs comprise of the communication infrastructure used to manage the electricity distribution to the end users. Cellular technology with LTE-based standards is a widely-used and forward-looking technology hence becomes a promising technology that can meet the requirements of different applications in NANs. However, the LTE has a limitation to cope with the data traffic characteristics of smart grid applications, thus require for enhancements. Device-to-Device (D2D) communications enable direct data transmissions between devices by exploiting the cellular resources, which could guarantee the improvement of LTE performances. Delay is one of the important communication requirements for the real-time smart grid applications. In this paper, the application of D2D communications for the smart grid NANs is investigated to improve the average end-to-end delay of the system. A relay selection algorithm that considers both the queue state and the channel state of nodes is proposed. The optimization problem is formulated as a constrained Markov decision process (CMDP) and a linear programming method is used to find the optimal policy for the CMDP problem. Simulation results are presented to prove the effectiveness of the proposed scheme

Roots Structure and Development of Austrobaileya scandens (Austrobaileyaceae) and Implications for Their Evolution in Angiosperms

Since the resolution of the ANA grade [Amborellales, Nymphaeales, Austrobaileyales] as sister to all other flowering plants, a few comparative studies of root structure have suggested that some of their anatomical traits could be of importance to understanding root evolutionary development and angiosperm phylogeny. However, there is still a paucity of information on root structure and apical meristems (RAMs) in these lineages and especially the sister to all other Austrobaileyales, Austrobaileya scandens. We used microtome sections and bright field, epifluorescence, laser confocal, and scanning electron microscopy to study adventitious root RAMs and tissues of A. scandens. Our results indicate that root structure is relatively simple in A. scandens. The epidermis has a thick cuticle and lacks root hairs. The stele is typically diarch, or some modification thereof, and surrounded by a cortex differentiated into a uniseriate endodermis, a middle region sometimes packed with starch, some oil cells, and colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and a multiseriate exodermis. Secondary growth produced many vessel elements in the secondary xylem and scattered sclerenchymatous fibers in secondary phloem. The absence of distinct patterning within the RAM and between the RAM and derivative differentiating tissues shows that the RAM is open and characterized by common initials. Roots structure and anatomy of A. scandens are thus essentially similar to some previously described in Amborella or Illicium in the ANA grade and many magnoliids, and suggest that the first woody flowering plants likely had an open RAM with common initials. Their functional and evolutionary significance in woody early-diverging and basal lineages of flowering plants and gymnosperms remains unclear, but they are clearly ancestral traits

Penetrating 3-D Imaging at 4- and 25-m Range Using a Submillimeter-Wave Radar

We show experimentally that a high-resolution imaging radar operating at 576–605 GHz is capable of detecting weapons concealed by clothing at standoff ranges of 4–25 m. We also demonstrate the critical advantage of 3-D image reconstruction for visualizing hidden objects using active-illumination coherent terahertz imaging. The present system can image a torso with <1 cm resolution at 4 m standoff in about five minutes. Greater standoff distances and much higher frame rates should be achievable by capitalizing on the bandwidth, output power, and compactness of solid state Schottky-diode based terahertz mixers and multiplied sources

Perbaikan Aturan Kuadratur Newton-cotes Tertutup

This paper discusses the improvement of closed Newton-Cotes quadrature rules. The idea is based on deriving weights of closed Newton-Cotes quadrature rules having the same length of intervals using degree of accuracy. By including the lower limit of the integral and the width of the interval as the two new additional variables,we obtain weights, the lower limit and the width of the interval used to form the improvement of closed Newton-Cotes quadrature rules. Computational tests using examples show that the accuracy of improvement formula is better than closed Newton-Cotes quadrature rules
