Keplerian Motion of Broad-Line Region Gas as Evidence for Supermassive Black Holes in Active Galactic Nuclei
Emission-line variability data on NGC 5548 argue strongly for the existence
of a mass of order 7 x 10^7 solar masses within the inner few light days of the
nucleus in the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548. The time-delayed response of the
emission lines to continuum variations is used to infer the size of the
line-emitting region, and these determinations are combined with measurements
of the Doppler widths of the variable line components to estimate a virial
mass. The data for several different emission lines spanning an order of
magnitude in distance from the central source show the expected V proportional
to r^{-1/2} correlation and are consistent with a single value for the mass.Comment: 9 pages, 2 Figures. accepted by ApJ Letter
Independent nonclassical tests for states and measurements in the same experiment
We show that one single experiment can test simultaneously and independently
both the nonclassicality of states and measurements by the violation or
fulfillment of classical bounds on the statistics. Nonideal measurements
affected by imperfections can be characterized by two bounds depending on
whether we test the ideal measurement or the real one.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures. Proceedings of 17th CEWQO 201
Evidence for Supermassive Black Holes in Active Galactic Nuclei from Emission-Line Reverberation
Emission-line variability data for Seyfert 1 galaxies provide strong evidence
for the existence of supermassive black holes in the nuclei of these galaxies,
and that the line-emitting gas is moving in the gravitational potential of that
black hole. The time-delayed response of the emission lines to continuum
variations is used to infer the size of the line-emitting region, which is then
combined with measurements of the Doppler widths of the variable line
components to estimate a virial mass. In the case of the best-studied galaxy,
NGC 5548, various emission lines spanning an order of magnitude in distance
from the central source show the expected velocity proportional to inverse
square root of the distance correlation between distance and line width, and
are thus consistent with a single value for the mass. Two other Seyfert
galaxies, NGC 7469 and 3C 390.3, show a similar relationship. We compute the
ratio of luminosity to mass for these three objects and the narrow-line Seyfert
1 galaxy NGC 4051 and find that that the gravitational force on the
line-emitting gas is much stronger than radiation pressure. These results
strongly support the paradigm of gravitationally bound broad emission-line
region clouds.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures, Accepted for publication in Astrophysical

Implementasi Kincir Angin Savonius 2 Tingkat Menggunakan Generator Magnet Permanen
This paper focuses on improving the performance of a two-tiered windmill savonius to generate electricity through a permanent magnet generator. This study used an experimental method, taking into account the number and angle of the wind turbine Savonius two levels. The study was conducted at wind speed conditions of about 2.85 m / s to 6.42 m / s. Dimensions of windshield savonius blades with a width of 45 cm and a height of 50 cm. The wind turbine is installed with a height of 3.5 meters from the ground. This study uses a gearbox with a ratio of 1: 3.This study produces a maximum power of 95 watts. The average voltage generated 13.75 volts AC to 19.52 volts AC. The energy supplied to the battery uses a battery charger control (BCR). 
Characterizing Quantum Properties of a Measurement Apparatus: Insights from the Retrodictive Approach
Using the retrodictive approach of quantum physics, we show that the state
retrodicted from the response of a measurement apparatus is a convenient tool
to fully characterize its quantum properties. We translate in terms of this
state some interesting aspects of the quantum behavior of a detector, such as
the non-classicality or the non-gaussian character of its measurements. We also
introduce estimators - the projectivity, the ideality, the fidelity or the
detectivity of measurements perfomed by the apparatus - which directly follow
from the retrodictive approach. Beyond their fundamental significance for
describing general quantum measurements, these properties are crucial in
several protocols, in particular in the conditional preparation of
non-classical states of light or in measurement-driven quantum information

Pengaruh Jerami Padi Dan Rasio Pupuk Urea, Tsp, Kcl Terhadap Pertumbuhan Dan Produksi Kedelai ( Glycine Max (L) Merril. )
This research was conducted to find out the effect of rice straw and ratio of Urea, TSP, KCL on the growth and production of soybean. This research has been conducted in the experimental farm, Faculty of Agriculture University of Riau, from January to April 2016. This study used randomized block design (RAK), arrange in a factorial with 2 factors, factors of rice straw mulch with 3 levels doses of 0 kg/Ha, 5 kg/Ha, 10 kg/Ha and factor ratio of Urea, TSP, KCL with 4 levels doses of 0 kg/Ha, 25, 50, 50 kg/Ha, 50, 100, 100 kg/Ha, 75, 150, 150 kg/Ha, two factors combined to obtain 12 combined treatment, for each treatment consisted of three replications, in order to get 36 experimental units. The data were analyzed by analysis of variance and significantly different continued with Duncan New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) at 5% level. Each experimental unit consisted of 52 plants, only seven plants become sample. The parameters measured were the number of the effectiveness root nodules per plant, the growth rate of plants, weeds, number of pods per plant, pods percentage pithy, dry seed weight/m2, and the weight of 100 seeds. Research data show that rice straw dose of 10 ton/Ha and ratio of Urea, TSP, KCl doses of 50, 100, 100 kg/Ha produces a dry seed weight of 2,69 tons/Ha, higher than without treatments is 1,3 tons/Ha
Supermassive Black Holes in Active Galactic Nuclei. I. The Consistency of Black Hole Masses in Quiescent and Active Galaxies
We report the first results of a program to measure accurate stellar velocity
dispersions in the bulges of the host galaxies of active galactic nuclei (AGNs)
for which accurate black hole (BH) masses have been determined via
reverberation mapping. We find good agreement between BH masses obtained from
reverberation mapping, and from the M(BH) - sigma relation as defined by
quiescent galaxies, indicating a common relationship between active and
quiescent black holes and their large-scale environments.Comment: Submitted to ApJ
