In the 2014 legislative elections last year, an increase in the acquisition of a very significant noise experienced by Indonesia Movement Party in Pekanbaru., As seen in the comparison of votes Great Indonesia Movement Party in 2009 which won 2.22% of the vote, whereas in 2014 Indonesia Movement Party gained 9.49% increase in noise is.Political facts above, the key problem that arises in this study is what the Great Indonesia Movement Party strategy to improve the sound in the legislative elections in 2014 in the city of Pekanbaru. This study used a qualitative approach that is intended to collect the data as much as possible and the facts are then taken to a conclusion.Great Indonesia Movement Party strategy to increase the number of votes in the legislative elections of the most dominant Pekanbaru is through recruiting qualified candidates, engage with the community, doing useful activities such as gymnastics, mutual cooperation, pemasagan banners and billboards and deliver material quality. And do not forget to also sell the name Prabowo As chairman of the General and the President of the Republic of Indonesia candidates.Keywords: Strategy, Political Party, Gerindr
Light Deflection, Lensing, and Time Delays from Gravitational Potentials and Fermat's Principle in the Presence of a Cosmological Constant
The contribution of the cosmological constant to the deflection angle and the
time delays are derived from the integration of the gravitational potential as
well as from Fermat's Principle. The findings are in agreement with recent
results using exact solutions to Einstein's equations and reproduce precisely
the new -term in the bending angle and the lens equation. The
consequences on time delay expressions are explored. While it is known that
contributes to the gravitational time delay, it is shown here that a
new -term appears in the geometrical time delay as well. Although
these newly derived terms are perhaps small for current observations, they do
not cancel out as previously claimed. Moreover, as shown before, at galaxy
cluster scale, the contribution can be larger than the second-order
term in the Einstein deflection angle for several cluster lens systems.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure, matches version published in PR
Gravitational deflection of light in the Schwarzschild -de Sitter space time
Recent studies suggest that the cosmological constant affects the
gravitational bending of photons although the orbital equation for light in
Schwarzschild-de Sitter space time is free from cosmological constant. Here we
argued that the very notion of cosmological constant independency of photon
orbit in the Schwarzschild-de Sitter space time is not proper. Consequently the
cosmological constant has some clear contribution to the deflection angle of
light rays. We stressed the importance of the study of photon trajectories from
the reference objects in bending calculation, particularly for asymptotically
non-flat space-time. When such an aspect is taken in to consideration the
contribution of cosmological constant to the effective bending is found to
depend on the distances of the source and the reference objects.Comment: 5 pages, no figur
Detection of large scale intrinsic ellipticity-density correlation from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and implications for weak lensing surveys
The power spectrum of weak lensing shear caused by large-scale structure is
an emerging tool for precision cosmology, in particular for measuring the
effects of dark energy on the growth of structure at low redshift. One
potential source of systematic error is intrinsic alignments of ellipticities
of neighbouring galaxies (II correlation) that could mimic the correlations due
to lensing. A related possibility pointed out by Hirata and Seljak (2004) is
correlation between the intrinsic ellipticities of galaxies and the density
field responsible for gravitational lensing shear (GI correlation). We present
constraints on both the II and GI correlations using 265 908 spectroscopic
galaxies from the SDSS, and using galaxies as tracers of the mass in the case
of the GI analysis. The availability of redshifts in the SDSS allows us to
select galaxies at small radial separations, which both reduces noise in the
intrinsic alignment measurement and suppresses galaxy- galaxy lensing (which
otherwise swamps the GI correlation). While we find no detection of the II
correlation, our results are nonetheless statistically consistent with recent
detections found using the SuperCOSMOS survey. In contrast, we have a clear
detection of GI correlation in galaxies brighter than L* that persists to the
largest scales probed (60 Mpc/h) and with a sign predicted by theoretical
models. This correlation could cause the existing lensing surveys at z~1 to
underestimate the linear amplitude of fluctuations by as much as 20% depending
on the source sample used, while for surveys at z~0.5 the underestimation may
reach 30%. (Abridged.)Comment: 16 pages, matches version published in MNRAS (only minor changes in

Figures of merit and constraints from testing General Relativity using the latest cosmological data sets including refined COSMOS 3D weak lensing
We use cosmological constraints from current data sets and a figure of merit
(FoM) approach to probe any deviations from general relativity (GR) at
cosmological scales. The FoM approach is used to study the constraining power
of various combinations of data sets on modified gravity (MG) parameters. We
use recently refined HST-COSMOS weak-lensing tomography data, ISW-galaxy cross
correlations from 2MASS and SDSS LRG surveys, matter power spectrum from
SDSS-DR7 (MPK), WMAP7 temperature and polarization spectra, BAO from 2DF and
SDSS-DR7, and Union2 compilation of supernovae, in addition to other bounds
from H_0 measurements and BBN. We use 3 parametrizations of MG parameters that
enter the perturbed field equations. In order to allow for variations with
redshift and scale, the first 2 parametrizations use recently suggested
functional forms while the third is based on binning methods. Using the first
parametrization, we find that CMB + ISW + WL provides the strongest constraints
on MG parameters followed by CMB+WL or CMB+MPK+ISW. Using the second
parametrization or binning methods, CMB+MPK+ISW consistently provides some of
the strongest constraints. This shows that the constraints are parametrization
dependent. We find that adding up current data sets does not improve
consistently uncertainties on MG parameters due to tensions between best-fit MG
parameters preferred by different data sets. Furthermore, some functional forms
imposed by the parametrizations can lead to an exacerbation of these tensions.
Next, unlike some studies that used the CFHTLS lensing data, we do not find any
deviation from GR using the refined HST-COSMOS data, confirming previous claims
in those studies that their result may have been due to some systematic effect.
Finally, we find in all cases that the values corresponding to GR are within
the 95% confidence level contours for all data set combinations. (abridged)Comment: 18 pages, 6 figures, matches version published in PR
Monitori Application Design by Using Vba as a Tool to Determine Waste Bank Adaptability
Waste banks are really important for Indonesian Government as they help the country to deal with household waste issues. And to make sure that the waste banks will continue to exist, the government has done some monitoring regarding its adaptability. Even so, the monitoring they had done wasn\u27t comprehensive enough, as it is difficult to do so. The difficulty remains on the rather complex calculation needed, which can be really tedious at times, so it deemed as time consuming and not worth the time. Monitori is designed to overcome this problem, to help the user determine the adaptability value of a waste bank. Using Microsoft Excel and its Visual Basic for Application function to design it, the application is able to do all the calculation automatically, and by doing so eliminate the calculation error possibility. The application also has some preventive measure to prevent error in the data inputting process. Monitori also designed to be flexible, so it can be used on any waste bank
The Contribution of the Cosmological Constant to the Relativistic Bending of Light Revisited
We study the effect of the cosmological constant on the bending of
light by a concentrated spherically symmetric mass. Contrarily to previous
claims, we show that when the Schwarzschild-de Sitter geometry is taken into
account, does indeed contribute to the bending.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure
Effect of dolomitic limestone and gypsum applications on soil solution properties and yield of corn and groundnut grown on Ultisols
A study was conducted to determine soil solution properties and relative tolerance of corn and groundnut plants to soil acidity. Corn followed by groundnut was planted on Ultisols one month after lime or gypsum was incorporated into the topsoil. Soil samples were collected after corn and groundnut harvest. Soil solutions were extracted by the immiscible replacement method of soil water with fluorocarbon trichlorofluoroethane. Results showed that total Al, inorganic Al, Ca, and Mg concentrations were erratically affected by the treatments. However, total Al values were indicated to be high when solution pHs were low, especially at treatments with low amounts of lime or high amounts of gypsum. It appeared that Ca released from the dissolution of gypsum had replaced Al in the exchange complex, causing the high concentrations of Al in the solution. Solution pH, corresponding to 90% relative yields of corn and groundnut, were 4.7 and 4.3, respectively. This means that groundnut is more tolerant to soil acidity than corn. Liming Ultisols at low rates may be necessary for groundnut cultivation. For corn cultivation, the liming rate is 2 t ha-1, which supplies adequate amounts of Ca and Mg for the growth of corn plants
