    A versatile experimental Ka-band network simulator has been implemented at the NASA Lewis Research Center to demonstrate and evaluate a satellite-matrix-switched, time-division-multiple-access (SMS-TDMA) network and to evaluate future digital ground terminals and radiofrequency (RF) components. The simulator was implemented by using proof-of-concept RF components developed under NASA contracts and digital ground terminal and link simulation hardware developed at Lewis. This simulator provides many unique capabilities such as satellite range delay and variation simulation and rain fade simulation. All network parameters (e.g., signal-to-noise ratio, satellite range variation rate, burst density, and rain fade) are controlled and monitored by a central computer. The simulator is presently configured as a three-ground-terminal SMS-TDMA network

    One of the important principles of state of law is the principle of legality. The principleof legality is closely related to the idea of democracy and the idea of a state of law. Stateagencies are fittings state as intended by the Act of 1945, that one of them is thePresident and Vice President. As the head of state and head of government elected as apair directly by the people as mandated by the Constitution, the implementation of the2014 general election and the election of President and Vice President are the result ofthe election held directly by the people, is a manifestation of the success of the processdemocratization in Indonesia.From this background, the problem can be formulated as follows: How does the systemgeneral election of President and Vice President are directly in Indonesia ?, How is theimpact of the election of President and Vice President to democracy in Indonesia ?. Thisstudy aimed to evaluate the implementation of the general election of President and VicePresident are directly in order to strengthen the system of governance in Indonesia. Todetermine whether the election of President and Vice President are directly able to fightfor the aspirations and interests of the people of Indonesia in a ruling government. Thisresearch is a normative law (literature study), Source of data in this research issecondary data.This study uses literature study (normative law), which examines the general election ofPresident and Vice President directly, regulatory law, literature, dictionaries,newspapers, magazines, papers and the results of the problems examined. From thisstudy, the authors conclude elect the President and Vice President are directly referred toin Article 6A of the 1945 Constitution of the Third Amendment of 2001, Law No. 23Year 2003 regarding the General Election of President and Vice President as amendedinto Law No. 42 of 2008 on Elections General President and the Vice President said thatthe election was carried out in direct, public, free, confidential, honest, and fair everyfive years, and was held to elect the President and Vice-President, through elections,sovereign people elect the President and Vice-President of the expected can fight for theaspirations and interests in a governmentruling. The government in power is itself a result of the people's choice was to rule theState. Folk exercise control or supervision of the government. Thus, through the generalelection of President and Vice President through a democratic procedure of the peoplewill be able to always be involved in the political process and are directly or indirectlyassert sovereignty over state power and government through their representatives

    The Dynamical Mean Field Theory phase space extension and critical properties of the finite temperature Mott transition

    Get PDF
    We consider the finite temperature metal-insulator transition in the half filled paramagnetic Hubbard model on the infinite dimensional Bethe lattice. A new method for calculating the Dynamical Mean Field Theory fixpoint surface in the phase diagram is presented and shown to be free from the convergence problems of standard forward recursion. The fixpoint equation is then analyzed using dynamical systems methods. On the fixpoint surface the eigenspectra of its Jacobian is used to characterize the hysteresis boundaries of the first order transition line and its second order critical end point. The critical point is shown to be a cusp catastrophe in the parameter space, opening a pitchfork bifurcation along the first order transition line, while the hysteresis boundaries are shown to be saddle-node bifurcations of two merging fixpoints. Using Landau theory the properties of the critical end point is determined and related to the critical eigenmode of the Jacobian. Our findings provide new insights into basic properties of this intensively studied transition.Comment: 11 pages, 12 figures, 1 tabl

    Global-in-time solutions for the isothermal Matovich-Pearson equations

    In this paper we study the Matovich-Pearson equations describing the process of glass fiber drawing. These equations may be viewed as a 1D-reduction of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations including free boundary, valid for the drawing of a long and thin glass fiber. We concentrate on the isothermal case without surface tension. Then the Matovich-Pearson equations represent a nonlinearly coupled system of an elliptic equation for the axial velocity and a hyperbolic transport equation for the fluid cross-sectional area. We first prove existence of a local solution, and, after constructing appropriate barrier functions, we deduce that the fluid radius is always strictly positive and that the local solution remains in the same regularity class. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first global existence and uniqueness result for this important system of equations

    Geographic variation and factors associated with female genital mutilation among reproductive age women in Ethiopia: A national population based survey

    Get PDF
    Background: Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a common traditional practice in developing nations including Ethiopia. It poses complex and serious long-term health risks for women and girls and can lead to death. In Ethiopia, the geographic distribution and factors associated with FGM practices are poorly understood. Therefore, we assessed the spatial distribution and factors associated with FGM among reproductive age women in the country. Method: We used population based national representative surveys. Data from two (2000 and 2005) Ethiopian demographic and health surveys (EDHS) were used in this analysis. Briefly, EDHS used a stratified, two-stage cluster sampling design. A total of 15,367 (from EDHS 2000) and 14,070 (from EDHS 2005) women of reproductive age (15-49 years) were included in the analysis. Three outcome variables were used (prevalence of FGM among women, prevalence of FGM among daughters and support for the continuation of FGM). The data were weighted and descriptive statistics (percentage change), bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were carried out. Multicollinearity of variables was assessed using variance inflation factors (VIF) with a reference value of 10 before interpreting the final output. The geographic variation and clustering of weighted FGM prevalence were analyzed and visualized on maps using ArcGIS. Z-scores were used to assess the statistical difference of geographic clustering of FGM prevalence spots. Result: The trend of FGM weighted prevalence has been decreasing. Being wealthy, Muslim and in higher age categories are associated with increased odds of FGM among women. Similarly, daughters from Muslim women have increased odds of experiencing FGM. Women in the higher age categories have increased odds of having daughters who experience FGM. The odds of FGM among daughters decrease with increased maternal education. Mass media exposure, being wealthy and higher paternal and maternal education are associated with decreased odds of women's support of FGM continuation. FGM prevalence and geographic clustering showed variation across regions in Ethiopia. Conclusion: Individual, economic, socio-demographic, religious and cultural factors played major roles in the existing practice and continuation of FGM. The significant geographic clustering of FGM was observed across regions in Ethiopia. Therefore, targeted and integrated interventions involving religious leaders in high FGM prevalence spot clusters and addressing the socio-economic and geographic inequalities are recommended to eliminate FGM. © 2016 Setegn et al.

    Is the meiofauna a good indicator for climate change and anthropogenic impacts?

    Get PDF
    Our planet is changing, and one of the most pressing challenges facing the scientific community revolves around understanding how ecological communities respond to global changes. From coastal to deep-sea ecosystems, ecologists are exploring new areas of research to find model organisms that help predict the future of life on our planet. Among the different categories of organisms, meiofauna offer several advantages for the study of marine benthic ecosystems. This paper reviews the advances in the study of meiofauna with regard to climate change and anthropogenic impacts. Four taxonomic groups are valuable for predicting global changes: foraminifers (especially calcareous forms), nematodes, copepods and ostracods. Environmental variables are fundamental in the interpretation of meiofaunal patterns and multistressor experiments are more informative than single stressor ones, revealing complex ecological and biological interactions. Global change has a general negative effect on meiofauna, with important consequences on benthic food webs. However, some meiofaunal species can be favoured by the extreme conditions induced by global change, as they can exhibit remarkable physiological adaptations. This review highlights the need to incorporate studies on taxonomy, genetics and function of meiofaunal taxa into global change impact research
