The increasing of Traffic of loaded generator will influence the network behaviour and affect to transmission data using video conferencing netmeeting application over the network connectio

Efficiency, Productivity and Stock Performance: Evidence from the Turkish Banking Sector

This paper investigates the link between stock performance of the listed commercial banks in the Turkish stock exchange and three measures of bank performance, such as technical efficiency, scale efficiency and productivity for the period 1998-2008. The relationship between efficiency and stock returns is investigated by running a regression of stock returns on measures of performance and some bank specific variables. The results indicate that the changes in three measures of performance have positive and significant effect on stock returns, suggesting that stocks of technical efficient, scale efficient and productive banks tend to outperform their inefficient and unproductive rivals.Stock returns, Technical efficiency, Productivity, Scale efficiency, Turkish banking

A Study of the Effect of Thermal Annealing on the Morphology of Copper Foils as Catalyst for Graphene Growth

Telah dilakukan penelitian tentang pengaruh “thermal annealing” terhadap morphology pada tembaga (Cu) sebagai katalis penumbuh graphene.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukan suatu kondisi optimal untuk mempersiapkan katalis tersebut pada penumbuhan graphene.Dalam penelitian ini, foil tembaga telah diteliti dengan memvariasikan suhu annealing, waktu annealing dan laju gas hydrogen. Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa kondisi optimal adalah annealing pada suhu 900 oC selama 10 menit dengan laju aliran hydrogen sebesar 100 sccm. Selain itu, penelitian “pre-thermal annealing” telah juga dilakukan untuk menguji perubahan sifat-sifat struktur dan morphology tembaga tersebut.Dari hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa tembaga tersebut memiliki “nanocrystalline cubic structure” yang baik, di mana didominasi oleh (100) dengan ukuran crystal ~200 nm.Penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa gas hydrogen efektif dalam mereduksi impurity dari oksidasi tembaga.Dan juga, annealing pada suhu 900 oC ke atas, sampel tersebut memiliki morphology yang halus pada seluruh permukaannya dan grain-grain berukuran ~ 88 µm. Kata kunci : Foil tembaga, Thermal annealing, Ukuran crystal,  and Ukuran grain

Pengaruh Pemanasan Terhadap Morfologi Permukaan dan Ukuran Grain pada Lapisan Tipis Tembaga Sebagai Katalis pada Penumbuhan Graphene

Telah dilakukan penelitian tentang pengaruh pemanasan terhadap morfologi permukaan dan ukuran grain pada lapisan tipis tembaga sebagai katalis pada penumbuhan graphene. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukan kondisi optimal pada katalis tersebut dalam persiapan penumbuhan graphene.  Dalam penelitian ini, lapisan tipis tembaga yang digunakan memiliki kemurnian  99.99+ % dan ketebalan 500 nm telah divariasikan pada suhu  pemanasan (450-900 °C), waktu pemanasan (0-1200 min) dan laju aliran hydrogen (0-100 sccm). Morfologi pada sampel-sampel yang dihasilkan telah diuji dengan menggunakan peralatan seperti XRD, SEM and EDS analysis. Hasil pengujian XRD menunjukkan bahwa sampel tersebut memiliki nanocrystalline cubic structure yang baik dengan didominasi oleh bidang (111). Hasil pengujian SEM menunjukkan bahwa sampel yang dipanaskan pada suhu 900 oC memiliki ukuran grain yang lebih besar size (~ 1.3 µm) dibandingkan dengan sampel lainnya.  Hasil analisis EDS menunjukkan adanya puncak-puncak tembaga oksida pada sampel yang tidak dialirkan gas hydrogen, yang berarti bahwa gas hidrogen sangat berperan dalam mengeliminir impurity dari tembaga oksida.  Berdasarkan hasil-hasil pengujian di atas maka kondisi optimal dalam pemanasan lapisan tipis tembaga sebagai katalis pada penumbuhana graphene adalah pemanasan pada 450 °C selama 20 jam dengan laju aliran hydrogen sebesar 50 sccm

Pengembangan Perkebunan Karet Dalam USAha Peningkatan Ekonomi Daerah Dan Pendapatan Petani Di Provinsi Aceh

The government's effort to reduce the number of unemployment and poverty in ac- cordance with the Medium Term Development Plan amounted 5,1 percent is difficult to achieve if there is no effort to develop the Rill Sector. The revitalization of Rubber Plantation is based upon: (1) has a strategic role as a source of public revenue, (2) both domestic and export markets, (3) able to absorb labor, (4) ensuring environmental sustainability. The obstacles faced by the Rubber development focus on: (1) Productivity of the plantation is low, because there are many plantation which are damage by wild plant material, (2) the domestic downstream industry is less developed, (3) there is no special funding available for plantations, and (4) the policies are less supportive the development of plantation. Based on the development of rubber in 1992-1996, the result has been able to encourage economic growth and to increase the farmer's incomes in Aceh significantly

Efficiency and Foreign Ownership in Banking: An International Comparison

This paper estimates cost and profit efficiency for Latin American and the Caribbean banking sectors. This study also conducts a comparative analysis of the performance of foreign and domestic banks operating in these counties. Using a model proposed by Battese and Coelli (1995), a common cost and profit frontiers with country-specific environmental variables have been estimated for a panel of 427 banking firms from sixteen countries. The empirical analysis reveals the importance of the environmental variables in explaining the efficiency differences among countries. The results show that profit efficiency levels are well below those corresponding to cost efficiency, implying that the most important inefficiency is on the revenue side. The results further indicate that on average foreign banks are more efficient than domestic banks.Banking, efficiency, foreign ownership

Factorization of a Matrix Differential Operator Using Functions in its Kernel

Just as knowing some roots of a polynomial allows one to factor it, a well-known result provides a factorization of any scalar differential operator given a set of linearly independent functions in its kernel. This note provides a straight-forward generalization to the case of matrix coefficient differential operators that applies even in the case that the leading coefficient is singular
