Perancangan Motif Batik Tulis Ikon Kabupaten Ngawi sebagai Media Promosi dalam Menunjang Industri Kreatif

Batik is a legacy of Indonesia which have been recognized or established by UNESCO since October 2, 2009. Batik has a significance or meaning in each of its motives. The rapid lovers of batik making it grows each days, until each region competing to have a motif that contains the meaning according to the characteristics or in accordance with the characteristic of the area. Unfortunately Ngawi region still lacks of its batik's motif. Even around the year 2009 until the year 2010, Ngawi begans to experience the crisis of batik's enthusiasts. Lessening on batik also the interest to develop the regional characteristics. In fact, if viewed from the potential contained in Ngawi, it's very supportive to improve or develop Ngawi's batik. Therefore, this study aims to design the icon of Ngawi's batik's motif as a media campaign in support of the creative industries. The design of this motif is using the method of data collection with qualitative way, that is by interview, observation and study of the existing literature, which is very important to determine the concept of the design that will be designed. From the results of the data collection, the concept that emerged is “Modern”. “Modern” is the concept of a motif‘s design, designed in a contemporary style or the present time to develop an existing motif. The concept is used by most of the motif's design, good design and the chosen color. There should be an effort to attract the attention of Ngawi's residents, thus motif were designed and packaged in a modern way, different from another existing motif. One of them is to design a motif that contains the icons of Ngawi by combining colors characteristic of Ngawi, by hoping that this medium can be a medium that can redevelop Ngawi's batik, and boost the spirit batik's enthusiasts, for Ngawi's batik and the potential that Ngawi has can be known by the public

The heavy fermion damping rate puzzle

: We examine again the problem of the damping rate of a moving heavy fermion in a hot plasma within the resummed perturbative theory of Pisarski and Braaten. The ansatz for its evaluation which relates it to the imaginary part of the fermion propagator pole in the framework of a self-consistent approach is critically analyzed. As already pointed out by various authors, the only way to define the rate is through additional implementation of magnetic screening. We show in detail how the ansatz works in this case and where we disagree with other authors. We conclude that the self-consistent approach is not satisfactory.Comment: 17 page

A Scale-Separated Approach for Studying Coupled Ion and Electron Scale Turbulence

Multiple space and time scales arise in plasma turbulence in magnetic confinement fusion devices because of the smallness of the square root of the electron-to-ion mass ratio $(m_e/m_i)^{1/2}$ and the consequent disparity of the ion and electron thermal gyroradii and thermal speeds. Direct simulations of this turbulence that include both ion and electron space-time scales indicate that there can be significant interactions between the two scales. The extreme computational expense and complexity of these direct simulations motivates the desire for reduced treatment. By exploiting the scale separation between ion and electron scales,and expanding the gyrokinetic equations for the turbulence in $(m_e/m_i)^{1/2}$, we derive such a reduced system of gyrokinetic equations that describes cross-scale interactions. The coupled gyrokinetic equations contain novel terms which provide candidate mechanisms for the observed cross-scale interaction. The electron scale turbulence experiences a modified drive due to gradients in the ion scale distribution function, and is advected by the ion scale $E \times B$ drift, which varies in the direction parallel to the magnetic field line. The largest possible cross-scale term in the ion scale equations is sub-dominant in our $(m_e/m_i)^{1/2}$ expansion. Hence, in our model the ion scale turbulence evolves independently of the electron scale turbulence. To complete the scale-separated approach, we provide and justify a parallel boundary condition for the coupled gyrokinetic equations in axisymmetric equilibria based on the standard "twist-and-shift" boundary condition. This approach allows one to simulate multi-scale turbulence using electron scale flux tubes nested within an ion scale flux tube.Comment: 53 pages, 2 figure

Intercomparison of carbonate chemistry measurements on a cruise in northwestern European shelf seas

Four carbonate system variables were measured in surface waters during a cruise aimed at investigating ocean acidification impacts traversing northwestern European shelf seas in the summer of 2011. High-resolution surface water data were collected for partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2; using two independent instruments) and pH using the total pH scale (pHT), in addition to discrete measurements of total alkalinity and dissolved inorganic carbon. We thus overdetermined the carbonate system (four measured variables, two degrees of freedom), which allowed us to evaluate the level of agreement between the variables on a cruise whose main aim was not intercomparison, and thus where conditions were more representative of normal working conditions. Calculations of carbonate system variables from other measurements generally compared well with direct observations of the same variables (Pearson’s correlation coefficient always greater than or equal to 0.94; mean residuals were similar to the respective accuracies of the measurements). We therefore conclude that four of the independent data sets of carbonate chemistry variables were of high quality. A diurnal cycle with a maximum amplitude of 41 μatm was observed in the difference between the pCO2 values obtained by the two independent analytical pCO2 systems, and this was partly attributed to irregular seawater flows to the equilibrator and partly to biological activity inside the seawater supply and one of the equilibrators. We discuss how these issues can be addressed to improve carbonate chemistry data quality on future research cruises

MOVEABLE, DEPLOYABLE MICROGRID ANALYSIS

This report focuses on the assessment of the feasibility of Moveable, Deployable Microgrids (MODEMs) from an interoperability and sustainment perspective as an alternative solution to traditional backup power methods aimed at bringing critical loads back online after installation microgrid failures or operational energy needs. Prior research into microgrid solutions by MAJ Daniel Varley in his paper “Feasibility Analysis of a Mobile Microgrid Design to Support Department of Defense (DOD) Energy Resilience Goals” identified MODEM as a potential solution. This report utilized the work done by MAJ Varley and further assesses system feasibility. Base and operational energy managers will benefit from MODEMs by having access to multi-energy source systems that are both easily moveable and relatively simplistic in design. As concerns surrounding energy resiliency of defense critical infrastructure by both the DOD and Department of Energy (DOE) mount, as expressed in a March 2022 report by the Electricity Advisory Committee (EAC) titled “Strengthening the Resilience of Defense Critical Infrastructure”, there is a push to identify cost-effective solutions that utilize alternative energy sources in order to improve the overall resiliency of this infrastructure. The MODEM system has the potential to be a viable solution to the resiliency problem.Outstanding ThesisCivilian, Department of the NavyCivilian, Department of the NavyCivilian, Department of the NavyCivilian, Department of the NavyCivilian, Department of the NavyApproved for public release.

Eclogites and basement terrane tectonics in the northern arm of the Grenville orogen, NW Scotland

The presence of eclogites within continental crust is a key indicator of collisional orogenesis. Eclogites within the Eastern Glenelg basement inlier of the Northern Highland Terrane (NHT) have been re-dated in order to provide more accurate constraints on the timing of collision within the northern arm of the Grenville Orogen. The eclog-ites yield dates of ca.1200 Ma which are interpreted to record the onset of continent-continent interaction, and the NHT as a whole is thought to represent the lower plate in successive 1200-1000 Ma collision events. The Eastern Glenelg basement inlier is viewed as a fragment of the leading edge of the NHT continental basement that was partially subducted along a suture and then exhumed back up the subduction channel. Differences in ages of igneous protoliths and intrusive histories, and metamorphic events (this paper) between the NHT basement and the Laurentian foreland, suggests that they were separate crustal blocks until after ca. 1600 Ma. We therefore suggest that: (1) the NHT represents a fragment of Archean-Paleoproterozoic crust that was reworked within the ca. 1.7-1.6 Ga Labradorian-Gothian belt, although whether it was derived from Laurentia or Baltica is uncertain, and (2) amalgamation of the NHT with the Laurentian foreland did not occur until the terminal stages of the Grenville collision at ca. 1000 Ma

Consumption of an omega-3 fatty acids product, INCELL AAFA™, reduced side-effects of CPT-11 (irinotecan) in mice

INCELL AAFA™, an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid product containing a high concentration of long chain fatty acids, was tested for its ability to ameliorate the harmful side effects of CPT-11 chemotherapy including: leukopenia, anaemia, asthenia, weight loss and liver involvement. Four groups of mice were fed an AIN-76 diet modified to contain: 10% w/w corn oil (CO), 0% AAFA™; 9% CO, 1% AAFA™; 8% CO, 2% AAFA™; or 7% CO, 3% AAFA™. After 2 weeks on the diets, half of the mice received CPT-11 chemotherapy (60 mg kg−1 q 4 days, i.v.) the rest of the mice received vehicle for 2 weeks. It was found that 2% AAFA™ in the diet of the CPT-11 treated mice: decreased apoptotic figures in the duodenal crypts; markedly suppressed the inflammatory eicosanoid, prostaglandin E2 in the liver; prevented liver hypertrophy; improved white blood cell counts; significantly increased red blood cell counts; decreased numbers of CPT-11 induced immature red blood cell and micronuclei in red blood cells of the peripheral blood; increased eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid in liver cell membranes and maintained normal grooming behaviour. Thus 2% AAFA™ in the diet reduced the side effects of CPT-11 treatment in mice
