Pengaruh Bauran Promosi Keputusan Pembelian Dan Kepuasan Pelanggan (Survei Pada Mahasiswa Binus University Yang Menggunakan Jasa Go-jek Di Jakarta)

This research aims to clarify the influence of advertising to purchase decision, the influence of sales promotion to the purchase decision the influence of direct marketing to the purchase decision, the influence of purchase decision to satisfaction. This type of research is explanatory with quantitative approach. Variables in this research are advertising, sales promotion, direct marketing, purchase decision, and satisfaction. Population in this research are students of BinusUniversity, who are using Go-jek in Jakarta. This research use 112 people as samples which are chosen by purposive sampling, and use questionnaire as data collection methods. This research also use descriptive analysis and path analysis methods to analyze the data. The results showed that Advertising (X1) has a direct influence on Purchase Decision (Z), Sales Promotion (X2) has a direct influence on Purchase Decision (Z), Direct Marketing (X3) has a direct influence on Purchase Decision (Z) And Purchase Decision (Z) has a positive influence on Customer Satisfaction (Y). Kеywords: Advertising, Sales Promotion, Direct Marketing, Purchase Decision, Satisfactio

This paper presents physics-based surrogate modeling algorithms for systems governed by parameterized partial differential equations (PDEs) commonly encountered in design optimization and uncertainty analysis. We first outline unsupervised learning approaches that leverage advances in the machine learning literature for a meshfree solution of PDEs. Subsequently, we propose continuum and discrete formulations for systems governed by parameterized steady-state PDEs. We consider the case of both deterministically and randomly parameterized systems. The basic idea is to embody the design variables or uncertain parameters in additional dimensions of the governing PDEs along with the spatial coordinates. We show that the undetermined parameters of the surrogate model can be estimated by minimizing a physics-based objective function derived using a multidimensional least-squares collocation or the Bubnov-Galerkin scheme. This potentially allows us to construct surrogate models without using data from computer experiments on a deterministic analysis code. Finally, we also outline an extension of the present approach to directly approximate the density function of random algebraic equations

Analysis of laminated doubly-curved shells by alayerwise theory and radial basis functions collocation, accounting for through-the-thickness deformations

In this paper, the static and free vibration analysis of laminated shells is performed by radial basis functions collocation, according to a sinusoidal shear deformation theory (SSDT). The SSDT theory accounts for through-the-thickness deformation, by considering a sinusoidal evolution of all displacements with the thickness coordinate. The equations of motion and the boundary conditions are obtained by the Carrera's Unified Formulation, and further interpolated by collocation with radial basis functions

Openness and archaeology's information ecosystem

The rise of the World Wide Web represents one of the most significant transitions in communicationssince the printing press or even since the origins of writing. To Open Access and Open Data advocates,the Web offers great opportunity for expanding the accessibility, scale, diversity, and quality ofarchaeological communications. Nevertheless, Open Access and Open Data face steep adoption barriers.Critics wrongfully see Open Access as a threat to peer review. Others see data transparency as naivelytechnocratic, and lacking in an appreciation of archaeology’s social and professional incentive structure.However, as argued in this paper, the Open Access and Open Data movements do not gloss oversustainability, quality and professional incentive concerns. Rather, these reform movements offer muchneeded and trenchant critiques of the Academy’s many dysfunctions. These dysfunctions, ranging fromthe expectations of tenure and review committees to the structure of the academic publishing industry, golargely unknown and unremarked by most archaeologists. At a time of cutting fiscal austerity, OpenAccess and Open Data offer desperately needed ways to expand research opportunities, reduce costs andexpand the equity and effectiveness of archaeological communication

The method of Laplace Transform MultiQuadrics (LTMQ) for the solution of the groundwater flow equation

This paper presents a new numerical method, the Laplace Transform MultiQuadrics (LTMQ) method, developed for the solution of the diffusion-type parabolic Partial Differential Equation (PDE) of fluid flow through porous media. LTMQ combines a MultiQuadrics (MQ) approximation scheme with a Laplace transform formulation. The use of MQ in the spatial approximations allows the accurate description of problems in complex porous media with a very limited number of nodes. The Laplace transform formulation eliminates the need for time discretization, thus allowing an unlimited time step size without any loss of accuracy. LTMQ is tested against results from three test problems of groundwater flow obtained from a standard Finite Difference (FD) model, as well as from analytical solutions. An excellent agreement between the LTMQ and the analytical and FD solutions is observed, while significant reductions in computer execution times may be achieved
