ANALISIS KELAYAKAN PENDIRIAN FUTSAL HALL DI KOTA JAMBI
Futsal merupakan sepakbola dalam ruangan yang diamainkan beregu oleh 5 orang
pemain (termasuk penjaga gawang) dan membutuhkan kekompakan dan kerja sama tim yang
bagus. Futsal masuk ke Indonesia baru pada awal tahun 2002 lalu. Tepatnya pada Oktober 2002
ketika Indonesia ditunjuk sebagai tuan rumah kejuaraan futsal tingkat ASEAN. Saat ini Futsal
sudah mulai menjadi hobi bagi sebagian kalangan di Indonesia, hal ini bisa dibuktikan dengan
bermunculannya tempat bermain futsal di setiap kota. Namun olah raga ini membutuhkan
penyedia layanan untuk penyewaan bermain futsal yang jumlahnya masih sedikit dibandingkan
dengan penggemarnya yang semakin banyak. Di kota Jambi baru terdapat 2 tempat bermain
futsal. Keadaan ini merupakan peluang bisnis yang bagus dan oleh karena itu akan didirikan
sebuah usaha yang bergerak di bidang penyewaan tempat bermain futsal yang bernama 9
Futsal. Sehingga diperlukan adanya suatu studi kelayakan untuk mengetahui apakah bisnis ini
layak untuk dijalankan jika dilihat dari aspek pasar, aspek teknis dan aspek keuangannya.Studi kelayakan bisnis ini dilakukan pertama kali untuk mencari pasar potensial, pasar
tersedia dan pasar sasaran dengan menggunakan alat bantu berupa kuesioner. Selanjutnya data
mengenai pasar sasaran tersebut digunakan untuk dasar dari pengolahan data aspek teknis yaitu
berupa kapasitas layanan, spesifikasi perangkat dan biaya-biaya investasi yang diperlukan.
Hasil dari aspek pasar dan teknis menjadi inputan dalam melakukan pengolahan data finansial,
dimana dari kedua aspek tersebut didapat data mengenai pendapatan dan biaya yang akan
dijadikan dasar dalam menentukan kriteria kelayakan investasi yaitu nilai IRR (Internal rate of
Return), NPV (Net Present Value) dan PBP (Payback Period). Selain itu perlu diperhitungkan
juga mengenai tingkat sensitivitas dan resiko dari investasi ini.Dari hasil pengolahan data finansial dengan tingkat MARR sebesar 20% didapatkan
nilai NPV sebesar Rp 122.166.658, IRR sebesar 30% dan PBP selama 3,66 tahun. Dan dari
hasil analisis sensitivitas pada perubahan demand, tarif, biaya tetap dan biaya operasional
menunjukkan bahwa perubahan demand dan tarif mempunyai tingkat sensitivitas yang paling
tinggi, sebab apabila demand dan tarif diturunkan sampai dengan 18 % maka investasi menjadi
tidak layak. Kemudian dengan tingkat resiko sebesar 5% menunjukkan bahwa investasi ini
masih tetap layak untuk dijalankan. Jadi dari hasil kriteria kelayakan secara finansial, dan dari
hasil perhitungan sensitivitas dan resiko dapat disimpulkan bahwa bisnis ini layak untuk
dijalankan. Futsal, Pasar, Finansial, Kelayaka
Pharmacological ablation of the airway smooth muscle layer—Mathematical predictions of functional improvement in asthma
Airway smooth muscle (ASM) plays a major role in acute airway narrowing and reducing ASM thickness is expected to attenuate airway hyper-responsiveness and disease burden. There are two therapeutic approaches to reduce ASM thickness: (a) a direct approach, targeting specific airways, best exemplified by bronchial thermoplasty (BT), which delivers radiofrequency energy to the airway via bronchoscope; and (b) a pharmacological approach, targeting airways more broadly. An example of the less well-established pharmacological approach is the calcium-channel blocker gallopamil which in a clinical trial effectively reduced ASM thickness; other agents may act similarly. In view of established anti-proliferative properties of the macrolide antibiotic azithromycin, we examined its effects in naive mice and report a reduction in ASM thickness of 29% (p <.01). We further considered the potential functional implications of this finding, if it were to extend to humans, by way of a mathematical model of lung function in asthmatic patients which has previously been used to understand the mechanistic action of BT. Predictions show that pharmacological reduction of ASM in all airways of this magnitude would reduce ventilation heterogeneity in asthma, and produce a therapeutic benefit similar to BT. Moreover there are differences in the expected response depending on disease severity, with the pharmacological approach exceeding the benefits provided by BT in more severe disease. Findings provide further proof of concept that pharmacological targeting of ASM thickness will be beneficial and may be facilitated by azithromycin, revealing a new mode of action of an existing agent in respiratory medicine
Demonstration of the temporal matter-wave Talbot effect for trapped matter waves
We demonstrate the temporal Talbot effect for trapped matter waves using
ultracold atoms in an optical lattice. We investigate the phase evolution of an
array of essentially non-interacting matter waves and observe matter-wave
collapse and revival in the form of a Talbot interference pattern. By using
long expansion times, we image momentum space with sub-recoil resolution,
allowing us to observe fractional Talbot fringes up to 10th order.Comment: 17 pages, 7 figure
Azimuthal anisotropy and correlations in p+p, d+Au and Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV
We present the first measurement of directed flow () at RHIC. is
found to be consistent with zero at pseudorapidities from -1.2 to 1.2,
then rises to the level of a couple of percent over the range . The latter observation is similar to data from NA49 if the SPS rapidities
are shifted by the difference in beam rapidity between RHIC and SPS.
Back-to-back jets emitted out-of-plane are found to be suppressed more if
compared to those emitted in-plane, which is consistent with {\it jet
quenching}. Using the scalar product method, we systematically compared
azimuthal correlations from p+p, d+Au and Au+Au collisions. Flow and non-flow
from these three different collision systems are discussed.Comment: Quark Matter 2004 proceeding, 4 pages, 3 figure
Azimuthal anisotropy: the higher harmonics
We report the first observations of the fourth harmonic (v_4) in the
azimuthal distribution of particles at RHIC. The measurement was done taking
advantage of the large elliptic flow generated at RHIC. The integrated v_4 is
about a factor of 10 smaller than v_2. For the sixth (v_6) and eighth (v_8)
harmonics upper limits on the magnitudes are reported.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures, contribution to the Quark Matter 2004 proceeding
Kaon Production and Kaon to Pion Ratio in Au+Au Collisions at \snn=130 GeV
Mid-rapidity transverse mass spectra and multiplicity densities of charged
and neutral kaons are reported for Au+Au collisions at \snn=130 GeV at RHIC.
The spectra are exponential in transverse mass, with an inverse slope of about
280 MeV in central collisions. The multiplicity densities for these particles
scale with the negative hadron pseudo-rapidity density. The charged kaon to
pion ratios are and
for the most central collisions. The ratio is lower than the same
ratio observed at the SPS while the is higher than the SPS result.
Both ratios are enhanced by about 50% relative to p+p and +p
collision data at similar energies.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl
Partonic flow and -meson production in Au+Au collisions at = 200 GeV
We present first measurements of the -meson elliptic flow
() and high statistics distributions for different
centralities from = 200 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC. In
minimum bias collisions the of the meson is consistent with the
trend observed for mesons. The ratio of the yields of the to those of
the as a function of transverse momentum is consistent with a model
based on the recombination of thermal quarks up to GeV/,
but disagrees at higher momenta. The nuclear modification factor () of
follows the trend observed in the mesons rather than in
baryons, supporting baryon-meson scaling. Since -mesons are
made via coalescence of seemingly thermalized quarks in central Au+Au
collisions, the observations imply hot and dense matter with partonic
collectivity has been formed at RHIC.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, submit to PR
Plasma Wakefield Acceleration with a Modulated Proton Bunch
The plasma wakefield amplitudes which could be achieved via the modulation of
a long proton bunch are investigated. We find that in the limit of long bunches
compared to the plasma wavelength, the strength of the accelerating fields is
directly proportional to the number of particles in the drive bunch and
inversely proportional to the square of the transverse bunch size. The scaling
laws were tested and verified in detailed simulations using parameters of
existing proton accelerators, and large electric fields were achieved, reaching
1 GV/m for LHC bunches. Energy gains for test electrons beyond 6 TeV were found
in this case.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure
The energy dependence of angular correlations inferred from mean- fluctuation scale dependence in heavy ion collisions at the SPS and RHIC
We present the first study of the energy dependence of angular
correlations inferred from event-wise mean transverse momentum
fluctuations in heavy ion collisions. We compare our large-acceptance
measurements at CM energies $\sqrt{s_{NN}} =$ 19.6, 62.4, 130 and 200 GeV to
SPS measurements at 12.3 and 17.3 GeV. $p_t$ angular correlation structure
suggests that the principal source of $p_t$ correlations and fluctuations is
minijets (minimum-bias parton fragments). We observe a dramatic increase in
correlations and fluctuations from SPS to RHIC energies, increasing linearly
with $\ln \sqrt{s_{NN}}$ from the onset of observable jet-related
fluctuations near 10 GeV.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure
All-optical switching and strong coupling using tunable whispering-gallery-mode microresonators
We review our recent work on tunable, ultrahigh quality factor
whispering-gallery-mode bottle microresonators and highlight their applications
in nonlinear optics and in quantum optics experiments. Our resonators combine
ultra-high quality factors of up to Q = 3.6 \times 10^8, a small mode volume,
and near-lossless fiber coupling, with a simple and customizable mode structure
enabling full tunability. We study, theoretically and experimentally, nonlinear
all-optical switching via the Kerr effect when the resonator is operated in an
add-drop configuration. This allows us to optically route a single-wavelength
cw optical signal between two fiber ports with high efficiency. Finally, we
report on progress towards strong coupling of single rubidium atoms to an
ultra-high Q mode of an actively stabilized bottle microresonator.Comment: 20 pages, 24 figures. Accepted for publication in Applied Physics B.
