    Fundamental science of psychology often rooted in diversity theory that touching reality of human and humanity. Theoretical solution alone may not be able to unlock the psychological issues because it is closely related to affective, cognitive and human behaviour in the workplace. In this study, the issues in the workplace are referring to personality, emotional intelligence and self-esteem of employees. The specific purpose of this study was to test the effect of extraversion personality as a moderator towards the relationship of emotional intelligence and self-esteem of employees. A total of 196 civil servants in the Local Authority (LA) have been selected as respondents. Measurement tools that used is Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised Short Form (EPQR-S), Emotional Intelligence Self-Description Inventory (EISDI), and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). The data was analysed by using the hierarchical regression analysis. The finding shows that the two hypotheses are accepted. From this analysis as well, there was a moderating effect of extraversion personality on the relationship between emotional intelligence (perception and appraisal of emotion, and understanding emotions) with self-esteem of employees. The most important finding shows that extraversion personality serves as moderator when the relationship between emotional intelligence and self-esteem are enhanced if extraversion were on a high level. This is compared with the low levels of extraversion personality that causing on relationship of emotional intelligence with self-esteem more weaker

    A hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin method for electromagnetics with a view on subsurface applications

    Full text link
    Two Hybridizable Discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) schemes for the solution of Maxwell's equations in the time domain are presented. The first method is based on an electromagnetic diffusion equation, while the second is based on Faraday's and Maxwell--Amp\`ere's laws. Both formulations include the diffusive term depending on the conductivity of the medium. The three-dimensional formulation of the electromagnetic diffusion equation in the framework of HDG methods, the introduction of the conduction current term and the choice of the electric field as hybrid variable in a mixed formulation are the key points of the current study. Numerical results are provided for validation purposes and convergence studies of spatial and temporal discretizations are carried out. The test cases include both simulation in dielectric and conductive media

    A new hybrid implicit-explicit FDTD method for local subgridding in multiscale 2-D TE scattering problems

    The conventional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method with staggered Yee scheme does not easily allow including thin material layers, especially so if these layers are highly conductive. This paper proposes a novel subgridding technique for 2-D problems, based on a hybrid implicit-explicit scheme, which efficiently copes with this problem. In the subgrid, the new method collocates field components such that the thin layer boundaries are defined unambiguously. Moreover, aspect ratios of more than a million do not impair the stability of the method and allow for very accurate predictions of the skin effect. The new method retains the Courant limit of the coarse Yee grid and is easily incorporated into existing FDTD codes. A number of illustrative examples, including scattering by a metal grating, demonstrate the accuracy and stability of the new method

    Portable seawater desalination tank

    As a result of the hot and dry weather caused by the El Nino phenomenon or the overheating weather that struck our country, water supply dams and rivers supplying raw water resources for water treatment plants in all state were declined (Termizi, 2017). Among the causes of clean water shortage is the pollution due to the poor waste management without systematic method, causing pollution and contamination to the water sources. In the meantime, many countries have also presented some issues with less favourable facilities, especially the problem cause by the lack of clean water at the coastal area (Hirschman, 1975). Thus, portable seawater desalination was developed using condensation concept and distillation methods to produce clean water sources for coastal visitors as well as the use of local residents as an alternative to the dry season

    Explicit Solution of the Time Domain Volume Integral Equation Using a Stable Predictor-Corrector Scheme

    Get PDF
    An explicit marching-on-in-time (MOT) scheme for solving the time domain volume integral equation is presented. The proposed method achieves its stability by employing, at each time step, a corrector scheme, which updates/corrects fields computed by the explicit predictor scheme. The proposedmethod is computationally more efficient when compared to the existing filtering techniques used for the stabilization of explicit MOT schemes. Numerical results presented in this paper demonstrate that the proposed method maintains its stability even when applied to the analysis of electromagnetic wave interactions with electrically large structures meshed using approximately half a million discretization elements

    Rigorous analysis of internal resonances in 3-D hybrid FE-BIE formulations by means of the Poincaré-Steklov operator

    Get PDF
    3-D hybrid finite-element (FE) boundary integral equation (BIE) formulations are widely used because of their ability to simulate large inhomogeneous structures in both open and bounded simulation domains by applying each method where it is the most efficient. However, some formulations suffer from breakdown frequencies at which the solution is not uniquely defined and errors are introduced due to internal resonances. In this paper, we investigate the occurrence of spurious solutions resulting from these resonances by using the concept of the Poincare-Steklov or Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator, which provides a relation between the tangential electric field and the electric current on the boundary of a domain. By identifying this operator in both the FE and BIE method, several new properties of internal resonances in 3-D hybrid FE-BIE formulations are easily derived. Several conformal and nonconformal formulations are studied and the theory is then applied to a scattering problem

    Distributed-memory parallelization of an explicit time-domain volume integral equation solver on Blue Gene/P

    Get PDF
    Two distributed-memory schemes for efficiently parallelizing the explicit marching-on in-time based solution of the time domain volume integral equation on the IBM Blue Gene/P platform are presented. In the first scheme, each processor stores the time history of all source fields and only the computationally dominant step of the tested field computations is distributed among processors. This scheme requires all-to-all global communications to update the time history of the source fields from the tested fields. In the second scheme, the source fields as well as all steps of the tested field computations are distributed among processors. This scheme requires sequential global communications to update the time history of the distributed source fields from the tested fields. Numerical results demonstrate that both schemes scale well on the IBM Blue Gene/P platform and the memory efficient second scheme allows for the characterization of transient wave interactions on composite structures discretized using three million spatial elements without an acceleration algorithm
