    Every company certainly wants profits, especially when these profits are obtained from increased product sales volume. An increase in sales volume or selling out will have an impact on a company's income. Unfortunately, this increase in sales volume cannot be done alone but also requires a relationship between components such as service levels, outlet registers, and product returns. The purpose of this study is to obtain information regarding the risks of service level, register outlets, and returns on selling out of Heavenly Blush Yogurt products. The research method used is descriptive and quantitative, with data collection techniques through documentation sourced from PT Heavenly Nutrition Indonesia's internal data in the form of sales data for Yogurtland products from 2018 to 2020. The results showed that service level, register outlets, and effective outlets had a significant positive influence on the selling out of Heavenly Blush Yogurt products, while the return of goods did not have a significant effect, even though it was positive because the Sig value was > 0.05. The value of the influence provided by these various factors on product sales is 97.8%

    Phenomenological model of elastic distortions near the spin-Peierls transition in CuGeO3CuGeO_3

    Full text link
    A phenomenological model of the Landau type forms the basis for a study of elastic distortions near the spin-Peierls transition TcT_c in CuGeO3CuGeO_3. The atomic displacements proposed by Hirota {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 73}, 736 (1994)] are accounted for by the model which includes linear coupling between CuCu and OO distortions. CuCu displacements are seen to be responsible for anomalies in the elastic properties {\it at} TcT_c, whereas incipient OO distortions give rise to temperature dependence below TcT_c. A discussion of possible critical behavior is also made.Comment: 1 figure available upon reques

    Coherence as ultrashort pulse train generator

    Full text link
    Intense, well-controlled regular light pulse trains start to play a crucial role in many fields of physics. We theoretically demonstrate a very simple and robust technique for generating such periodic ultrashort pulses from a continuous probe wave which propagates in a dispersive thermal gas media

    Evaluating public involvement in research design and grant development: Using a qualitative document analysis method to analyse an award scheme for researchers

    Background A regional Research Design Service, funded by the National Institute for Health Research, introduced a small grant in 2008, to support public involvement (often known as patient and public involvement [PPI]) activities during the development of applications for research funding. Successful applicants are requested to submit a report detailing how the grant money was used, including a description of the aims and outcomes of the public involvement activities. The purpose of this study was to analyse the content of these reports. We aimed to find out what researcher views and experiences of public involvement activities were, and what lessons might be learned. Methods We used an innovative method of data analysis, drawing on group participatory approaches, qualitative content analysis, and Framework Analysis to sort and label the content of the reports. We developed a framework of categories and sub-categories (or themes and sub-themes) from this process. Results Twenty five documents were analysed. Four main themes were identified in the data: the added value of public involvement; planning and designing involvement; the role of public members; and valuing public member contributions. Within these themes, sub-themes related to the timing of involvement (prior to the research study/intended during the research study), and also specific benefits of public involvement such as: validating ideas; ensuring appropriate outcomes; ensuring the acceptability of data collection methods/tools and advice regarding research processes. Other sub-themes related to: finding and approaching public members; timing of events; training/support; the format of sessions; setting up public involvement panels: use of public contributors in analysis and interpretation of data; and using public members to assist with dissemination and translation into practice. Conclusions The analysis of reports submitted by researchers following involvement events provides evidence of the value of public involvement during the development of applications for research funding, and details a method for involving members of the public in data analysis which could be of value to other researchers The findings of the analysis indicate recognition amongst researchers of the variety in potential roles for public members in research, and also an acknowledgement of how involvement adds value to studies

    Arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay Bundles on complete intersection varieties of sufficiently high multidegree

    Full text link
    Recently it has been proved that any arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay (ACM) bundle of rank two on a general, smooth hypersurface of degree at least three and dimension at least four is a sum of line bundles. When the dimension of the hypersurface is three, a similar result is true provided the degree of the hypersurface is at least six. We extend these results to complete intersection subvarieties by proving that any ACM bundle of rank two on a general, smooth complete intersection subvariety of sufficiently high multi-degree and dimension at least four splits. We also obtain partial results in the case of threefolds.Comment: 15 page

    Systematic event generator tuning for the LHC

    Full text link
    In this article we describe Professor, a new program for tuning model parameters of Monte Carlo event generators to experimental data by parameterising the per-bin generator response to parameter variations and numerically optimising the parameterised behaviour. Simulated experimental analysis data is obtained using the Rivet analysis toolkit. This paper presents the Professor procedure and implementation, illustrated with the application of the method to tunes of the Pythia 6 event generator to data from the LEP/SLD and Tevatron experiments. These tunes are substantial improvements on existing standard choices, and are recommended as base tunes for LHC experiments, to be themselves systematically improved upon when early LHC data is available.Comment: 28 pages.

    Do group dynamics play a role in the evolution of member galaxies?

    Get PDF
    We examine galaxy groups from the present epoch to z ∼ 1 to explore the impact of group dynamics on galaxy evolution. We use group catalogues from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), the Group Environment and Evolution Collaboration (GEEC) and the high-redshift GEEC2 samples to study how the observed member properties depend on the galaxy stellar mass, group dynamical mass and dynamical state of the host group. We find a strong correlation between the fraction of non-star-forming (quiescent) galaxies and galaxy stellar mass, but do not detect a significant difference in the quiescent fraction with group dynamical mass, within our sample halo mass range of ∼1013–1014.5 M⊙, or with dynamical state. However, at z ∼ 0.4 we do find some evidence that the quiescent fraction in low-mass galaxies [log10(Mstar/M⊙) ≲ 10.5] is lower in groups with substructure. Additionally, our results show that the fraction of groups with non-Gaussian velocity distributions increases with redshift to z ∼ 0.4, while the amount of detected substructure remains constant to z ∼ 1. Based on these results, we conclude that for massive galaxies [log10(Mstar/M⊙) ≳ 10.5], evolution is most strongly correlated to the stellar mass of a galaxy with little or no additional effect related to either the group dynamical mass or the dynamical state. For low-mass galaxies, we do find some evidence of a correlation between the quiescent fraction and the amount of detected substructure, highlighting the need to probe further down the stellar mass function to elucidate the role of environment in galaxy evolution

    Phase diagram of a probabilistic cellular automaton with three-site interactions

    Full text link
    We study a (1+1) dimensional probabilistic cellular automaton that is closely related to the Domany-Kinzel (DKCA), but in which the update of a given site depends on the state of {\it three} sites at the previous time step. Thus, compared with the DKCA, there is an additional parameter, p3p_3, representing the probability for a site to be active at time tt, given that its nearest neighbors and itself were active at time t1t-1. We study phase transitions and critical behavior for the activity {\it and} for damage spreading, using one- and two-site mean-field approximations, and simulations, for p3=0p_3=0 and p3=1p_3=1. We find evidence for a line of tricritical points in the (p1,p2,p3p_1, p_2, p_3) parameter space, obtained using a mean-field approximation at pair level. To construct the phase diagram in simulations we employ the growth-exponent method in an interface representation. For p3=0p_3 =0, the phase diagram is similar to the DKCA, but the damage spreading transition exhibits a reentrant phase. For p3=1p_3=1, the growth-exponent method reproduces the two absorbing states, first and second-order phase transitions, bicritical point, and damage spreading transition recently identified by Bagnoli {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. E{\bf 63}, 046116 (2001)].Comment: 15 pages, 7 figures, submited to PR

    Higgs-Boson Production Associated with a Single Bottom Quark in Supersymmetric QCD

    Full text link
    Due to the enhancement of the couplings between Higgs boson and bottom quarks in the minimal sypersymmetric standard model (MSSM), the cross section of the process pp(p\bar{p}) \to h^0b(h^0\bar{b})+X at hadron colliders can be considerably enhanced. We investigated the production of Higgs boson associated with a single high-p_T bottom quark via subprocess bg(\bar{b}g) \to h^0b(h^0\bar{b}) at hadron colliders including the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections in MSSM. We find that the NLO QCD correction in the MSSM reaches 50%-70% at the LHC and 60%-85% at the Fermilab Tevatron in our chosen parameter space.Comment: accepted by Phys. Rev.
