Analisa Sensitivitas Parameter - Parameter yang Mempengaruhi Rencana Anggaran Biaya (RAB) Perumahan Cluster di Pekanbaru (Studi Kasus Perumahan Sari Residence)
Pekanbaru is one of the provincial capital in Indonesian that has rapid population growth about 4% each year. One of thedevelopment thing is the rapidly growing field of building construction, especially in the field of housing. Free trade competition in which the selling price as set by the government. It is necessary to identify the parameters that affect the Budget Plan (RAB) in Type of Cluster House development. Sensitivity analysis is needed to determine how sensitive a decision to change the parameters that influence it. Criteria of the largest costs incurred is the cost of home work better than the average yield response of respondents as well as seen from the calculation of the RAB. RAB calculations obtained percentage of the cost of homework on the overall total cost for one (1) of housing units is 61.64%. Retrieved parameters that affect as many as 12 parameters namely: Wall Working, Roof Working, foundation working, concrete working, vast excess soil, deed of sell, Building Permits, Ownership Certificate, Electrical installation, Water Treatment Plan, Mainroad. So we need antisipasif action against these parameters
Take Control of Interruptions in Your Life: Lessons from Routine Activity Theory of Criminology
Steeped among the items on the dark side of information technology are personal technology interruptions. Past research has examined the negative impact of technology interruptions; however, the factors that are responsible for the increasing rate of interruptions are rarely discussed. In this study, by adapting the criminology theory of Routine Activity Theory (RAT), we propose three factors that lead to an interruption: number of interruption sources, absence of guardians, and individual targetness. Results from a survey of mobile users show that combinations of these factors have increased the interruption rate in our lives. Interestingly, just having more apps on the phones does not increase interruptions; it is a combination of the factors noted above
Magnetic Domain Patterns Depending on the Sweeping Rate of Magnetic Fields
The domain patterns in a thin ferromagnetic film are investigated in both
experiments and numerical simulations. Magnetic domain patterns under a zero
field are usually observed after an external magnetic field is removed. It is
demonstrated that the characteristics of the domain patterns depend on the
decreasing rate of the external field, although it can also depend on other
factors. Our numerical simulations and experiments show the following
properties of domain patterns: a sea-island structure appears when the field
decreases rapidly from the saturating field to the zero field, while a
labyrinth structure is observed for a slowly decreasing field. The mechanism of
the dependence on the field sweeping rate is discussed in terms of the concepts
of crystallization.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Hysteretic response characteristics and dynamic phase transition via site dilution in the kinetic Ising model
The decay of the hysteresis loop area of the system, which is obeying a site
diluted kinetic Ising model, is considered by the disorder parameter using the
effective field theory analysis. The exhibition focuses on the understanding of
external field frequency, amplitude and the site concentration dependency of
the hysteresis loop area for several powerful treatments. Important
characteristics of the hysteretic response, such as frequency dispersion,
effect of domain nucleation phenomenon on the dynamic process etc. has been
introduced together with well known other characteristics. An attempt has been
made to explain the relations between the competing time scales (intrinsic
microscopic relaxation time of the system and the time period of the external
oscillatory field) and the shape of the response. As a result of the detailed
investigations, existence of essentially three, particularly four types of
dispersion curves have been propounded.Comment: 16 pages, 8 figure
Investigation of oscillation frequency and disorder induced dynamic phase transitions in a quenched-bond diluted Ising ferromagnet
Frequency evolutions of hysteresis loop area and hysteresis tools such as
remanence and coercivity of a kinetic Ising model in the presence of quenched
bond dilution are investigated in detail. The kinetic equation describing the
time dependence of the magnetization is derived by means of effective-field
theory with single-site correlations. It is found that the frequency
dispersions of hysteresis loop area, remanence and coercivity strongly depend
on the quenched bond randomness, as well as applied field amplitude and
oscillation frequency. In addition, the shape of the hysteresis curves for a
wide variety of Hamiltonian parameters is studied and some interesting
behaviors are found. Finally, a comparison of our observations with those of
recently published studies is represented and it is shown that there exists a
qualitatively good agreement.Comment: 11 pages, 8 figure
Kinetic roughening of surfaces: Derivation, solution and application of linear growth equations
We present a comprehensive analysis of a linear growth model, which combines
the characteristic features of the Edwards--Wilkinson and noisy Mullins
equations. This model can be derived from microscopics and it describes the
relaxation and growth of surfaces under conditions where the nonlinearities can
be neglected. We calculate in detail the surface width and various correlation
functions characterizing the model. In particular, we study the crossover
scaling of these functions between the two limits described by the combined
equation. Also, we study the effect of colored and conserved noise on the
growth exponents, and the effect of different initial conditions. The
contribution of a rough substrate to the surface width is shown to decay
universally as , where is
the time--dependent correlation length associated with the growth process,
is the initial roughness and the correlation length of the
substrate roughness, and is the surface dimensionality. As a second
application, we compute the large distance asymptotics of the height
correlation function and show that it differs qualitatively from the functional
forms commonly used in the intepretation of scattering experiments.Comment: 28 pages with 4 PostScript figures, uses titlepage.sty; to appear in

Factors Affecting Student Graduation Rates
Over the past few years, colleges and the United States government have become increasingly interested in raising graduation rates. This paper uses data from a survey given to students during their freshman year to analyze factors specific to an individual student that makes them more or less likely to graduate. Previous research shows that high school GPA and SAT scores are the two most statistically significant factors. In my study, I use a logit regression model to determine which factors are significant to a student’s likelihood of graduating. As with previous research I found high school GPA to be the most statistically significant. Other factors found to be statistically significant were if the student is a first-generation student, how well the student feels they can pay for their next semesters costs, the students self-reported ability to prioritize, manage their time, and take notes
Analytical solution of generalized Burton--Cabrera--Frank equations for growth and post--growth equilibration on vicinal surfaces
We investigate growth on vicinal surfaces by molecular beam epitaxy making
use of a generalized Burton--Cabrera--Frank model. Our primary aim is to
propose and implement a novel analytical program based on a perturbative
solution of the non--linear equations describing the coupled adatom and dimer
kinetics. These equations are considered as originating from a fully
microscopic description that allows the step boundary conditions to be directly
formulated in terms of the sticking coefficients at each step. As an example,
we study the importance of diffusion barriers for adatoms hopping down
descending steps (Schwoebel effect) during growth and post-growth equilibration
of the surface.Comment: 16 pages, REVTeX 3.0, IC-DDV-94-00
