    Patient satisfaction in health services is very important to note because it can describe the service in place of health services. Siak District General Hospital (RSUD) Siak is a C class state hospital located in Siak District. The hospital is able to provide limited specialist medical services. The decreasing and increasing number of patient visits BPJS every year, then the indication of a gap between services received with the expected BPJS patients at Siak Public Hospital (RSUD). He formulation of this research problem is: How the quality of health services for patients BPJS (Social Security Administering Body) at the Regional General Hospital of Siak Regency Year 2016? Data analysis method used in this research is descriptive qualitative analysis method that is trying to explain based on the phenomena that exist and trace all the facts related to the problems discussed based on the results of research that is Quality Health Services For Patients BPJS (Social Security Administering Body) At Home General Hospital of Siak Regency Year 2016. The result of the research stated that the health service for Patient BPJS (Social Security Administering Body) at Siak District General Hospital 2016, can be said is still low, that is on the punctuality of service, the process of health service use of computerized system is still low, Affairs will not be controlled properly, even lost so that can not be accounted for patients. On the ease of providing health services for Patients BPJS (Social Security Administering Body) at Siak District Public Hospital 2016, in terms of setting administrative requirements are still too rigid but in accordance with the rules set. On the accuracy of services still found the existence of discrimination in the provision of health services for Patients BPJS (Social Security Administering Body) at Siak District Public Hospital 2016. On the suitability of health services, BPJS Kab. Siak receive complaints and follow up until all the health services for the Patient BPJS (Social Security Administering Body) at Siak District Public Hospital 2016 has been completely finished

    Glassy Dynamics of Protein Folding

    Full text link
    A coarse grained model of a random polypeptide chain, with only discrete torsional degrees of freedom and Hookean springs connecting pairs of hydrophobic residues is shown to display stretched exponential relaxation under Metropolis dynamics at low temperatures with the exponent β1/4\beta\simeq 1/4, in agreement with the best experimental results. The time dependent correlation functions for fluctuations about the native state, computed in the Gaussian approximation for real proteins, have also been found to have the same functional form. Our results indicate that the energy landscape exhibits universal features over a very large range of energies and is relatively independent of the specific dynamics.Comment: RevTeX, 4 pages, multicolumn, including 5 figures; larger computations performed, error bars improve

    Do sleep difficulties exacerbate deficits in sustained attention following traumatic brain injury?

    Sustained attention has been shown to be vulnerable following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Sleep restriction and disturbances have been shown to negatively affect sustained attention. Sleep disorders are common but under-diagnosed after TBI. Thus, it seems possible that sleep disturbances may exacerbate neuropsychological deficits for a proportion of individuals who have sustained a TBI. The aim of this prospective study was to examine whether poor sleepers post-TBI had poorer sustained and general attentional functioning than good sleepers post-TBI. Retrospective subjective, prospective subjective, and objective measures were used to assess participants’ sleep. The results showed that the poor sleep group had significantly poorer sustained attention ability than the good sleep group. The differences on other measures of attention were not significant. This study supports the use of measures that capture specific components of attention rather than global measures of attention, and highlights the importance of assessing and treating sleep problems in brain injury rehabilitation

    Tight Kernel Bounds for Problems on Graphs with Small Degeneracy

    Full text link
    In this paper we consider kernelization for problems on d-degenerate graphs, i.e. graphs such that any subgraph contains a vertex of degree at most dd. This graph class generalizes many classes of graphs for which effective kernelization is known to exist, e.g. planar graphs, H-minor free graphs, and H-topological-minor free graphs. We show that for several natural problems on d-degenerate graphs the best known kernelization upper bounds are essentially tight.Comment: Full version of ESA 201

    A Multicanonical Molecular Dynamics Study on a Simple Bead-Spring Model for Protein Folding

    Full text link
    We have performed a multicanonical molecular dynamics simulation on a simple model protein.We have studied a model protein composed of charged, hydrophobic, and neutral spherical bead monomers.Since the hydrophobic interaction is considered to significantly affect protein folding, we particularly focus on the competition between effects of the Coulomb interaction and the hydrophobic interaction. We found that the transition which occurs upon decreasing the temperature is markedly affected by the change in both parameters and forms of the hydrophobic potential function, and the transition changes from first order to second order, when the Coulomb interaction becomes weaker.Comment: 7 pages, 6 postscript figures, To appear in J.Phys.Soc.Jpn.

    GaN directional couplers for integrated quantum photonics

    Full text link
    Large cross-section GaN waveguides are proposed as a suitable architecture to achieve integrated quantum photonic circuits. Directional couplers with this geometry have been designed with aid of the beam propagation method and fabricated using inductively coupled plasma etching. Scanning electron microscopy inspection shows high quality facets for end coupling and a well defined gap between rib pairs in the coupling region. Optical characterization at 800 nm shows single-mode operation and coupling-length-dependent splitting ratios. Two photon interference of degenerate photon pairs has been observed in the directional coupler by measurement of the Hong-Ou-Mandel dip with 96% visibility.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure

    A Many-body Problem with Point Interactions on Two Dimensional Manifolds

    Get PDF
    A non-perturbative renormalization of a many-body problem, where non-relativistic bosons living on a two dimensional Riemannian manifold interact with each other via the two-body Dirac delta potential, is given by the help of the heat kernel defined on the manifold. After this renormalization procedure, the resolvent becomes a well-defined operator expressed in terms of an operator (called principal operator) which includes all the information about the spectrum. Then, the ground state energy is found in the mean field approximation and we prove that it grows exponentially with the number of bosons. The renormalization group equation (or Callan-Symanzik equation) for the principal operator of the model is derived and the β\beta function is exactly calculated for the general case, which includes all particle numbers.Comment: 28 pages; typos are corrected, three figures are adde

    Intensity-based image registration using multiple distributed agents

    Get PDF
    Image registration is the process of geometrically aligning images taken from different sensors, viewpoints or instances in time. It plays a key role in the detection of defects or anomalies for automated visual inspection. A multiagent distributed blackboard system has been developed for intensity-based image registration. The images are divided into segments and allocated to agents on separate processors, allowing parallel computation of a similarity metric that measures the degree of likeness between reference and sensed images after the application of a transform. The need for a dedicated control module is removed by coordination of agents via the blackboard. Tests show that additional agents increase speed, provided the communication capacity of the blackboard is not saturated. The success of the approach in achieving registration, despite significant misalignment of the original images, is demonstrated in the detection of manufacturing defects on screen-printed plastic bottles and printed circuit boards

    Shapes of free resolutions over a local ring

    Full text link
    We classify the possible shapes of minimal free resolutions over a regular local ring. This illustrates the existence of free resolutions whose Betti numbers behave in surprisingly pathological ways. We also give an asymptotic characterization of the possible shapes of minimal free resolutions over hypersurface rings. Our key new technique uses asymptotic arguments to study formal Q-Betti sequences.Comment: 14 pages, 1 figure; v2: sections have been reorganized substantially and exposition has been streamline
