Pengungkapan isi dan latar belakang nilai budaya naskah kuno Damayanti

Geguritan Nala Damayanti (disingkat GND) adalah produk sastra Daerah Bali, dan merupakan warisan budaya yang· tidak ternilai harganya. Oleh karena itu ia (GND) juga sebagai unsur kebudayaan Bali, yang ikut memperkaya khazanah budaya Nasional. Sebagai unsur kebudayaan, GND merupakan pernyataan gagasan dan perasaan seorang seniman. Sungguhpun merupakan pernyataan gagasan dan perasaan seorang seniman, tetapi ia tidak dapat bebas dari dominasi kebudayaan tempat ia dibesarkan (Santoso, 1982: 27). Oleh karena itu, GND ikut berperan sebagai media tidak langsung melestarikan nilai-nilai gagasan vital, serta keyakinan yang berlaku dalam masyarakat bersangkutan yang masih perlu diungkapkan ke dalam bahasa Indonesia, sehingga terjalin hubungan antar daerah yang lebih erat lagi. Dalam hubungan ini, pengungkapan nilai-nilai sastra daerah (termasuk GND) ke dalam bahasa Indonesia, dirasakan turut menunjang dalam usaha mengisi kebutuhan akan warisan nilai-nilai tradisional bangsa Indonesia

Structure and properties of graphene nano disks (GND) with and without edge-dopants

Graphene is one of the most important materials. In this research, the structures and properties of graphene nano disks (GND) with a concentric shape were investigated by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, in which the most effective DFT methods - B3lyp and Pw91pw91 were employed. It was found that there are two types of edges - Zigzag and Armchair in concentric graphene nano disks (GND). The bond length between armchair-edge carbons is much shorter than that between zigzag-edge carbons. For C24 GND that consists of 24 carbon atoms, only armchair edge with 12 atoms is formed. For a GND larger than the C24 GND, both armchair and zigzag edges co-exist. Furthermore, when the number of carbon atoms in armchair-edge are always 12, the number of zigzag-edge atoms increases with increasing the size of a GND. In addition, the stability of a GND is enhanced with increasing its size, because the ratio of edge-atoms to non-edge-atoms decreases. The size effect of a graphene nano disk on its HOMO-LUMO energy gap was evaluated. C6 and C24 GNDs possess HOMO-LUMO gaps of 1.7 and 2.1eV, respectively, indicating that they are semi-conductors. In contrast, C54 and C96 GNDs are organic metals, because their HOMO-LUMO gaps are as low as 0.3 eV. The effect of doping foreign atoms to the edges of GNDs on their structures, stabilities, and HOMO-LUMO energy gaps were also examined. When foreign atoms are attached to the edge of a GND, the original unsaturated carbon atoms become saturated. As a result, both of the C-C bonds lengths and the stability of a GND increase. Furthermore, the doping effect on the HOMO-LUMO energy gap is dependent on the type of doped atoms. The doping H, F, or OH into the edge of a GND increases its HOMO-LUMO energy gap. In contrast, a Li-doped GND has a lower HOMO-LUMO energy gap than that without doping. Therefore, Li-doping can increase the electrical conductance of a GND, whereas H, F, or OH-doping decreases its conductance

Approximating Generalized Network Design under (Dis)economies of Scale with Applications to Energy Efficiency

In a generalized network design (GND) problem, a set of resources are assigned to multiple communication requests. Each request contributes its weight to the resources it uses and the total load on a resource is then translated to the cost it incurs via a resource specific cost function. For example, a request may be to establish a virtual circuit, thus contributing to the load on each edge in the circuit. Motivated by energy efficiency applications, recently, there is a growing interest in GND using cost functions that exhibit (dis)economies of scale ((D)oS), namely, cost functions that appear subadditive for small loads and superadditive for larger loads. The current paper advances the existing literature on approximation algorithms for GND problems with (D)oS cost functions in various aspects: (1) we present a generic approximation framework that yields approximation results for a much wider family of requests in both directed and undirected graphs; (2) our framework allows for unrelated weights, thus providing the first non-trivial approximation for the problem of scheduling unrelated parallel machines with (D)oS cost functions; (3) our framework is fully combinatorial and runs in strongly polynomial time; (4) the family of (D)oS cost functions considered in the current paper is more general than the one considered in the existing literature, providing a more accurate abstraction for practical energy conservation scenarios; and (5) we obtain the first approximation ratio for GND with (D)oS cost functions that depends only on the parameters of the resources' technology and does not grow with the number of resources, the number of requests, or their weights. The design of our framework relies heavily on Roughgarden's smoothness toolbox (JACM 2015), thus demonstrating the possible usefulness of this toolbox in the area of approximation algorithms.Comment: 39 pages, 1 figure.

The dislocation behaviour and GND development in a nickel based superalloy during creep

In the current study, dislocation activity and storage during creep deformation in a nickel based superalloy (Waspaloy) were investigated, focussing on the storage of geometrically necessary (GND) and statistically stored (SSD) dislocations. Two methods of GND density calculation were used, namely, EBSD Hough Transformation and HR-EBSD Cross Correlation based methods. The storage of dislocations, including SSDs, was investigated by means of TEM imaging. Here, the concept of GND accumulation in soft and hard grains and the effect of neighbouring grain orientation on total dislocation density was examined. Furthermore, the influence of applied stress (below and above the yield stress of Waspaloy) during creep on deformation micro-mechanism and dislocation density was studied. It was demonstrated that soft grains provided pure shear conditions on at least two octahedral (111) slip systems for easy dislocation movement. This allowed dislocations to reach the grain boundary without significant geometrically necessary dislocation accumulation in the centre of the grain. Hence, the majority of the soft grains appeared to have minimum GND density in the centre of the grain with high GND accumulation in the vicinity of the grain boundaries. However, the values and width of accumulated GND depended on the surrounding grain orientations. Furthermore, it was shown that the hard grains were not favourably oriented for octahedral slip system activation leading to a grain rotation in order to activate any of the available slip systems. Eventually, (i) the hard grain resistance to deformation and (ii) neighbouring grain resistance for the hard grain reorientation caused high GND density on a number of octahedral (111) slip systems. The results also showed that during creep below the yield stress of Waspaloy (500 MPa/700 °C), the GND accumulation was relatively low due to the insufficient macroscopic stress level. However, the regions near grain boundaries showed high GND density. At 800 MPa/700 °C (above yield at this temperature), in addition to the movement of pre-existing dislocations (SSD and GND) at a higher mobility rate, large numbers of dislocations were generated and moved toward the grain boundaries. This resulted in a much higher GND density but narrower width of high intensity GNDs near the grain boundaries. It is concluded that although GND measurement by means of EBSD can provide great insight into dislocation accumulation and its behaviour, it is critical to consider SSD type which also contributes to the strain hardening of the material

Geometrically necessary dislocation densities in olivine obtained using high-angular resolution electron backscatter diffraction

© 2016 The AuthorsDislocations in geological minerals are fundamental to the creep processes that control large-scale geodynamic phenomena. However, techniques to quantify their densities, distributions, and types over critical subgrain to polycrystal length scales are limited. The recent advent of high-angular resolution electron backscatter diffraction (HR-EBSD), based on diffraction pattern cross-correlation, offers a powerful new approach that has been utilised to analyse dislocation densities in the materials sciences. In particular, HR-EBSD yields significantly better angular resolution (<0.01°) than conventional EBSD (~0.5°), allowing very low dislocation densities to be analysed. We develop the application of HR-EBSD to olivine, the dominant mineral in Earths upper mantle by testing (1) different inversion methods for estimating geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) densities, (2) the sensitivity of the method under a range of data acquisition settings, and (3) the ability of the technique to resolve a variety of olivine dislocation structures. The relatively low crystal symmetry (orthorhombic) and few slip systems in olivine result in well constrained GND density estimates. The GND density noise floor is inversely proportional to map step size, such that datasets can be optimised for analysing either short wavelength, high density structures (e.g. subgrain boundaries) or long wavelength, low amplitude orientation gradients. Comparison to conventional images of decorated dislocations demonstrates that HR-EBSD can characterise the dislocation distribution and reveal additional structure not captured by the decoration technique. HR-EBSD therefore provides a highly effective method for analysing dislocations in olivine and determining their role in accommodating macroscopic deformation

Lattice strain measurements using synchrotron diffraction to calibrate a micromechanical modeling in a ferrite–cementite steel

In situ tensile tests were performed at room temperature on a ferrite–cementite steel specifically designed for this study. The evolution of the average stress in ferrite during loading was analyzed by X-ray diffraction.Lattice strain measurements were performed with synchrotron ring diffraction in both ferrite and cementite.These in situ tests were complemented by macroscopic tensile and reversible tensile-compression tests to study the Bauschinger effect. In order to reproduce stresses in ferrite and cementite particles,a recently developed micromechanical Internal Length Mean Field (ILMF) model based on a generalized self-consistent scheme is applied. In this designed ferrite–cementite steel,the third ‘‘phase’’of the model represents finite intermediate‘‘layers’’in ferrite due to large geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) densities around cementite particles. The assumed constant thickness of the layers is calibrated thanks to the obtained experimental data.The ILMF model is validated by realistic estimates of the Bauschinger stress and the large difference between mean stresses in ferrite and in cementite phases.This difference cannot be reproduced by classic two-phase homogenization schemes without intermediate GND layers

An observation on the experimental measurement of dislocation density

The common practice of ignoring the elastic strain gradient in measurements of geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) density is critically examined. It is concluded that the practice may result in substantial errors. Our analysis points to the importance of spatial variations of the elastic strain field in relation to its magnitude in inferring estimates of dislocation density from measurements
