CONSUMER LOYALTY KARUNIA BARU SHIPPING COMPANY: SERVICE QUALITY, PRICE, AND CONSUMER SATISFACTION
Abstract: This study aims to determine the effect of service quality, and perceived price fairness through consumer satisfaction on consumer loyalty at Karunia Baru Shipping Company. The sample in this study found 57 respondents who were determined by the saturation sampling technique and the data measurment tool used in this study is the Likert scale. The research method used is quantitative with the Partial Least Square-Structured Equation Model (PLS-SEM) technique using SmartPLS 3 software. The results of this study showed that, first, service quality had a significant positive effect on consumer satisfaction. Second, perceived price fairness had a significant positive effect on consumer satisfaction. Third, consumer satisfaction had a significant positive effect on consumer Loyalty. Fourth, service quality had a positive but not significant effect on consumer loyalty through consumer satisfaction. Fifth, perceived price fairness had a significant positive effect on consumer loyalty through consumer satisfaction. Based on these results it can be concluded that if Karunia Baru Shipping Company can provide a quality service and fair prices to their consumer, their consumers will be satisfied to the company. Even though the quality of service can make the consumer feel satisfied, it won't make them loyal. However fair pricesfrom the company will make the consumer feel satisfied and eventually will be loyal to the company.Keywords: service quality, perceived price fairness, consumer satisfaction, consumer loyalt
Extraction of level density and gamma strength function from primary gamma spectra
We present a new iterative procedure to extract the level density and the
gamma strength function from primary gamma spectra for energies close up to the
neutron binding energy. The procedure is tested on simulated spectra and on
data from the Yb-173(He-3,alpha)Yb-172 reaction.Comment: 23 pages including 1 table and 7 figure
A new reversal mode in exchange coupled antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic disks: distorted viscous vortex
This article is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licence.-- et al.Magnetic vortices have generated intense interest in recent years due to their unique reversal mechanisms, fascinating topological properties, and exciting potential applications. In addition, the exchange coupling of magnetic vortices to antiferromagnets has also been shown to lead to a range of novel phenomena and functionalities. Here we report a new magnetization reversal mode of magnetic vortices in exchange coupled Ir20Mn80/Fe20Ni80 microdots: distorted viscous vortex reversal. In contrast to the previously known or proposed reversal modes, the vortex is distorted close to the interface and viscously dragged due to the uncompensated spins of a thin antiferromagnet, which leads to unexpected asymmetries in the annihilation and nucleation fields. These results provide a deeper understanding of the physics of exchange coupled vortices and may also have important implications for applications involving exchange coupled nanostructures.This work was supported by the US NSF (DMR-1008791 and ECCS-1232275), the 2014-SGR-1015 project of the Generalitat de Catalunya, and MAT2010-20616-C02, CSD2007-00041 and MAT2012-35370 projects of the Spanish Ministerio de Economía

Determination of the electromagnetic character of soft dipole modes solely based on quasicontinuous gamma spectroscopy
We show that the combined analysis of the quasicontinuous gamma spectra from
the (He-3,alpha) and the (n-thermal,2gamma) reactions gives the possibility to
measure the electromagnetic character of soft dipole resonances. Two-step
gamma-cascade spectra have been calculated, using level densities and radiative
strength functions from the (He-3,alpha gamma) reaction. The calculations show
that the intensity of the two-step cascades depends on the electromagnetic
character of the soft dipole resonance under study. The difference reaches
40-100% which can be measured experimentally.Comment: 9 pages including 1 table and 2 figure
An Incoherent Dynamo in Accretion Disks
We use the mean-field dynamo equations to show that an incoherent alpha
effect in mirror-symmetric turbulence in a shearing flow can generate a large
scale, coherent magnetic field. We illustrate this effect with simulations of a
few simple systems. In accretion disks, this process can lead to axisymmetric
magnetic domains whose radial and vertical dimensions will be comparable to the
disk height. This process may be responsible for observations of dynamo
activity seen in simulations of dynamo-generated turbulence involving, for
example, the Balbus-Hawley instability. In this case the magnetic field
strength will saturate at times the ambient pressure in real
accretion disks. The resultant dimensionless viscosity will be of the same
order. In numerical simulations the azimuthal extent of the simulated annulus
should be substituted for . We compare the predictions of this model to
numerical simulations previously reported by Brandenburg et al. (1995). In a
radiation pressure dominated environment this estimate for viscosity should be
reduced by a factor of due to magnetic buoyancy.Comment: 23 pages, uses aaste
Glycoprotein hormone receptors (version 2019.4) in the IUPHAR/BPS Guide to Pharmacology Database
Glycoprotein hormone receptors (provisional nomenclature [45]) are activated by a non-covalent heterodimeric glycoprotein made up of a common α chain (glycoprotein hormone common alpha subunit CGA, P01215), with a unique β chain that confers the biological specificity to FSH, LH, hCG or TSH. There is binding cross-reactivity across the endogenous agonists for each of the glycoprotein hormone receptors. The deglycosylated hormones appear to exhibit reduced efficacy at these receptors [120]

Observation of Thermodynamical Properties in the Dy, Er and Yb Nuclei
The density of accessible levels in the (He,) reaction has
been extracted for the Dy, Er and Yb nuclei. The
nuclear temperature is measured as a function of excitation energy in the
region of 0 -- 6 MeV. The temperature curves reveal structures indicating new
degrees of freedom. The heat capacity of the nuclear system is discussed within
the framework of a canonical ensemble.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figures include
