Stable Existence of Phase IV inside Phase II under Pressure in CeLaB
We investigate the pressure effect of the electrical resistivity and
magnetization of CeLaB. The situation in which phase IV
stably exists inside phase II at H=0 T could be realized by applying a pressure
above GPa. This originates from the fact that the stability of
phase II under pressure is larger than those of phases IV and III. The results
seem to be difficult to reproduce by taking the four interactions of
-type AFO, -type AFQ, -type AFO, and AF
exchange into account within a mean-field calculation framework.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, to appear in J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 79 (2010) No.
Evidence for short-range antiferromagnetic fluctuations in Kondo-insulating YbB12
The spin dynamics of mixed-valence YbB12 has been studied by inelastic
neutron scattering on a high-quality single crystal. In the Kondo-insulating
regime realized at low temperature, the spectra exhibit a spin-gap structure
with two sharp, dispersive, in-gap excitations at E = 14.5 and approximately 20
meV. The lower mode is shown to be associated with short-range correlations
near the antiferromagnetic wave vector q0 = (1/2, 1/2, 1/2). Its properties are
in overall agreement with those expected for a "spin exciton'' branch in an
indirect hybridization gap semiconductor.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures ; submitted to Physical Review Letter

The effect of concurrent training organisation in youth elite soccer players
Purpose: This study compared the adaptive responses to two concurrent training programmes frequently used in professional soccer. Methods: Fifteen youth soccer players (17.3 ± 1.6 years, 1.82 ± 0.06 m, 77.0 ± 7.3 kg; VO peak, 62.0 ± 4.7 ml kg min) who compete in the English Premier League volunteered for this study. In addition to completing their habitual training practices, the participants were asked to alter the organisation concurrent training by performing strength (S) training either prior to (S + E, n = 8) or after (E + S, n = 7) soccer-specific endurance training (E) 2d wk for 5 wk. Results: With the exception of 30 m sprint, IMVC PF, quadriceps strength (60°/s, 180°/s, 120°/s) pooled data revealed training effects across all other performances measures (P < 0.05). Whilst ANCOVA indicated no significant interaction effects for training condition, the difference between the means divided by the pooled standard deviation demonstrated large effect sizes in the E + S condition for in HBS 1-RM [S + E vs E + S; −0.54 (9.6 %) vs −1.79 (19.6 %)], AoP-M [−0.72 (7.9 %) vs −1.76 (14.4 %)], SJ [−0.56, (4.4 %), vs −1.08, (8.1 %)], IMVC-LR; [−0.50, (20.3 %) vs −1.05 (27.3 %)], isokinetic hamstring strength 60°/s [−0.64, (12.2 %) vs −0.95 (19.2 %)], 120°/s [−0.78 (27.9 %) vs −1.55 (23.3 %)] and isokinetic quadriceps strength 180°/s [−0.23 (2.5 %) vs −1.52 (13.2 %)]. Conclusion: Results suggest the organisation of concurrent training, recovery time allocated between training bouts and the availability nutrition may be able to modulate small but clinically significant changes in physical performance parameters associated with match-play. This may have practical implications for practitioners who prescribe same day concurrent training protocols
Pengaruh Pemberian Air Kelapa Muda Terhadap Penurunan Tekanan Darah Pada Penderita Hipertensi Di Banjar Pisang Desa Taro Kabupaten Gianyar
Hypertension or high blood pressure is a disease characterized by increasing blood pressure above the normal limit with systolic is more than 140 mmHg and diastolic is over 90 mmHg. Unhealthy lifestyle like consuming higher salinity food, junk food, food containing cholesterol, and lack of physical activities can increase the number of hypertension case. Many things can be done to lower high blood pressure such as by applying non-pharmacological therapy, one of them is by granting young coconut water, it has some contents like sugar, vitamin C, protein, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. High content of potassium in young coconut water can lower blood pressure of the hypertension patients.
This study aimed at knowing the influence of granting young coconut water for lowering blood pressure of hypertension patients. This study used pre experimental design with one group pretest and posttest design with the number of sample was 72 respondents using purposive sampling. The data was analyzed using Wilcoxon test to compare pretest and posttest result.
The result of this study showed that there was a significant influence between the average of pre and post after granting young coconut water and z value was 5,729 and z table with a = 1,96 meant that z value was higher than z table therefore it could be concluded that there was an influence of granting young coconut water for lowering high blood pressure of hypertension patients in Banjar Pisang Taro village Gianyar regency.
 
Energy Spectra and Normalized Power Spectral Densities of X-Ray Nova GS 2000+25
The X-ray energy spectra and Normalized Power Spectral Densities (NPSDs) of
an X-ray nova, GS 2000+25, were investigated. The X-ray energy spectra of the
source consist of two components: a hard component, which can be represented by
a power-law, and an ultra-soft component, represented by radiation from an
optically-thick accretion disk (the disk component). In a model in which the
power-law component is the Compton-scattered radiation, it is found that the
temperature of the incident blackbody radiation to the Compton cloud decrease
from 0.8 keV to 0.2 keV according to the decay of the intensity, which
coincides with that of the inner accretion disk. When the source changed from
the high-state to the low-state, both the photon index of the power-law
component (or Compton y-parameter) and the NPSD of the hard component
dramatically changed as did GS 1124-683. That is, the photon index changed from
2.2--2.6 to 1.7--1.8 and the absolute values of the NPSDs at 0.3 Hz of the hard
component in the low-state became about 10-times larger than those of the hard
component in the high-state. These X-ray properties were similar to those of
other black-hole candidates, such as Cyg X-1, GX 339-4, and LMC X-3.Comment: 24 pages, text only, Full version is published in PASJ 54, 609-627

Microfabrication and Application of Series-Connected PZT Elements
AbstractThis paper presents series-connected PZT elements that yield high output voltage, and also shows complete establishment in the fabrication process. Series-connected PZT elements are realized by connecting the upper electrode of a PZT element with the lower electrode of another PZT element. Sputtered PZT thin-film has perovskite crystalline structure and piezoelectric coefficients up to 40 pC/N. To avoid troublesome wet etching, the PZT films, the electrodes, and insulation layers are dry-etched. The all dry-etching process performs multilayer wiring of the electrodes. Evaluations for the PZT elements validates that the output voltage is the sum output voltage of each single element
Crossword Puzzle Increase Attention of Children with Adhd
Introduction: Attention deficit is one of three main problems of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Children experience difficulty of paying attention and concentrating to one or more things or objects. As a results these children cannot perform the task well. Crossword puzzle is one of games that may increase attention and concentration. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of crossword puzzle to increase attention of children with ADHD. Method: Pre-experimental design was employed in this study. The population was ADHD students in Cakra Autisme Therapy. Seven students were recruited by means of purposive sampling. The independent variable was crossword puzzle and the dependent variable was the increase of attention. Data were collected using observation sheet and analyzed using Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test with level of significance of α≤ 0.05. Result: Result showed that crossword puzzle could increase attention. Respondent\u27s attention improved from less to good attention, particularly in playing activities (p=0.014). Analysis: This finding suggests that there was differences of attention between pre and post-test. It can be concluded that crossword puzzle can increase attention of the students with ADHD. Discussion: It is recommended for teachers and parents of ADHD children to give them crossword puzzle game everyday at school or at home. Further studies should involve larger sample size and employs another game not only to increase attention, but also reduce hyperactivity and impulsivity of ADHD child
