Analisis risiko service level, register outlet, register outlet dan retur terhadap selling out produk Heavenly Blush Yoguroto
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
A phenomenological model of the Landau type forms the basis for a study of
elastic distortions near the spin-Peierls transition in . 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 and distortions. displacements are seen to be responsible
for anomalies in the elastic properties {\it at} , whereas incipient
distortions give rise to temperature dependence below . A discussion of
possible critical behavior is also made.Comment: 1 figure available upon reques
Coherence as ultrashort pulse train generator
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
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
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. Submitted to European Physical Journal C. Program sources

Do group dynamics play a role in the evolution of member galaxies?
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
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, , representing
the probability for a site to be active at time , given that its nearest
neighbors and itself were active at time . 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 and
. We find evidence for a line of tricritical points in the () 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 , the phase diagram is
similar to the DKCA, but the damage spreading transition exhibits a reentrant
phase. For , 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
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.
