    A Marketing Booklet for Muara Tours: a Way to Promote Its Study-tour Packages

    Full text link
    When the writer did her internship at Muara Tours, the writer found that this company had two big problems which affected their business. Muara Tours had failed to advertise study tour packages because Muara Tours does not retain tools that explain the study tour packages. Because of that, the writer comes up with the best solution and the most proper promotional tool which is a marketing booklet. Having a marketing booklet will bring two advantages. First, it assists Muara Tours to advertise study tour packages effectively for the customers. Second, a marketing booklet can use this marketing booklet as a guide for the staff to explain the products. In making this marketing booklet, the writer also considers the potential customers, all aspect in this marketing booklet were simple and attractive. The writer believes that this marketing booklet will assist Muara Tour to lead cooperation between Muara Tour and the customers

    Boltzmann hierarchy for interacting neutrinos I: formalism

    Full text link
    Starting from the collisional Boltzmann equation, we derive for the first time and from first principles the Boltzmann hierarchy for neutrinos including interactions with a scalar particle. Such interactions appear, for example, in majoron-like models of neutrino mass generation. We study two limits of the scalar mass: (i) An extremely massive scalar whose only role is to mediate an effective 4-fermion neutrino-neutrino interaction, and (ii) a massless scalar that can be produced in abundance and thus demands its own Boltzmann hierarchy. In contrast to, e.g., the first-order Boltzmann hierarchy for Thomson-scattering photons, our interacting neutrino/scalar Boltzmann hierarchies contain additional momentum-dependent collision terms arising from a non-negligible energy transfer in the neutrino-neutrino and neutrino-scalar interactions. This necessitates that we track each momentum mode of the phase space distributions individually, even if the particles were massless. Comparing our hierarchy with the commonly used (ceff2,cvis2)(c_{\rm eff}^2,c_{\rm vis}^2)-parameterisation, we find no formal correspondence between the two approaches, which raises the question of whether the latter parameterisation even has an interpretation in terms of particle scattering. Lastly, although we have invoked majoron-like models as a motivation for our study, our treatment is in fact generally applicable to all scenarios in which the neutrino and/or other ultrarelativistic fermions interact with scalar particles.Comment: 44 pages, 14 figures; included scalar Boltzmann hierarchy in the massless case and plots of integral kernels; accepted by JCA

    Attributes of God in Ephesians: Meaning and relevance

    Get PDF
    Who is God according to the author of the letter to the Ephesians? What does this letter communicate about the character of God? Which attributes of God are specifically in focus in Ephesians? The focus of this article is the meaning and relevance of these characterisations of God in the letter structure, in the argumentation, in the rhetoric of the author and in the socio-historical context of the author and readers. The method of interpretation includes word studies, the epistolographic structure, the argumentation, the socio-historical background and the persuasion strategies used in the letter. The author identifies and categorises all attributes of God in Ephesians within the structure of the letter and argumentation and shows how these contribute to the purpose of the letter. The author of Ephesians presents God as being in total control of the universe, willing to be mankind’s Father and to equip them with wisdom and strength and gifts and blessings and he exhorts them to trust this God and imitate Him in their behaviour. Contribution: Although the attributes of God have been discussed by various scholars, this article is an attempt to not only identify the attributes of God in the letter to the Ephesians, but also to discuss the meaning and relevance of these in this letter

    Grouping of fishing locations using similarities in species composition for the Monterey Bay Area commercial passenger fishing vessel fishery, 1987-1992

    Cluster analysis was evaluated as a classification technique to group fishing locations based on similarities in species catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) data obtained through on board sampling. Catch data from the Monterey Bay area Commercial Passenger Fishing Vessel (CPFV) hook-and-line fishery were used. The analysis was designed to define potential fishery management units, refine estimation of species CPUE, and evaluate fish length data for the most commonly caught species in the CPFV fishery. Results produced similar location groups for two separate classifications of the more abundant species caught in the fishery, one based on midwater schooling species and a second based on benthic species. Location groups represented distinct contiguous geographic areas that appear to be strongly related to specific depth ranges and possibly other environmental variables. The differences in species composition among location groupings were distinct but apparently gradual, with no sharp species assemblage boundaries that represented clear divisions between specific ecological communities. Many species appeared to be distributed independently along depth gradients. Suggestions are given to improve the techniques used in future grouping of fishing locations. (46pp.

    Lithium hydroxide dihydrate: A new type of icy material at elevated pressure

    Get PDF
    We show that, in addition to the known monohydrate, LiOH forms a dihydrate at elevated pressure. The dihydrate involves a large number of H-bonds establishing chains along the direction. In addition, the energy surface exhibits a saddle point for proton locations along certain O interatomic distances, a feature characteristic for superprotonic conductors. However, MD simulations indicate that LiOH·2H_2O is not a superprotonic conductor and suggest the relevant interpolyhedral O–O distances being too large to allow for proton transfer between neighboring Li-coordinated polyhedra at least on the time scale of the MD-simulations
