Respon Amerika Serikat terhadap Uji Coba Rudal Korea Utara di Bawah Pemerintahan Kim Jong UN

This research discusses the United States response to North Koreas missile test and Kim Jong Un as a commander. Since the end of the Korean War, North Korea has been trying to develop nuclear weapons and missile test. Various negotiations have been conducted to prevent the development, but these efforts never succeeded. Kim Jong Un as a new commander of North Korea has contin ued the countrys nuclear testing.This research will explain how the Unites States respond to the North Koreas nuclear development, what kind negotiations are being done, and how North Koreas nuclear weapons influences the United States and South Korea security situation.Perspective that used in this research is Realism perspective. The theory used in this research is the offense-defense by Stevan van Evera. The theory used as a framework for analyzing the factors and cause the North Korean nuclear development and its consequences for United States security situation.Key words: United States, respond, Kim Jong Un, North Korea, missile tes

Optimal circular flight of multiple UAVs for target tracking in urban areas

This work is an extension of our previous result in which a novel single-target tracking algorithm for fixed-wing UAVs (Unmanned Air Vehicles) was proposed. Our previous algorithm firstly finds the centre of a circular flight path, rc, over the interested ground target which maximises the total chance of keeping the target inside the camera field of view of UAVs, , while the UAVs fly along the circular path. All the UAVs keep their maximum allowed altitude and fly along the same circle centred at rc with the possible minimum turn radius of UAVs. As discussed in [1,4], these circular flights are highly recommended for various target tracking applications especially in urban areas, as for each UAV the maximum altitude flight ensures the maximum visibility and the minimum radius turn keeps the minimum distance to the target at the maximum altitude. Assuming a known probability distribution for the target location, one can quantify , which is incurred by the travel of a single UAV along an arbitrary circle, using line-of-sight vectors. From this observation, (the centre of) an optimal circle among numerous feasible ones can be obtained by a gradient-based search combined with random sampling, as suggested in [1]. This optimal circle is then used by the other UAVs jointly tracking the same target. As the introduction of multiple UAVs may minimise further, the optimal spacing between the UAVs can be naturally considered. In [1], a typical line search method is suggested for this optimal spacing problem. However, as one can easily expect, the computational complexity of this search method may undesirably increase as the number of UAVs increases. The present work suggests a remedy for this seemingly complex optimal spacing problem. Instead of depending on time-consuming search techniques, we develop the following algorithm, which is computationally much more efficient. Firstly, We calculate the distribution (x), where x is an element of , which is the chance of capturing the target by one camera along . Secondly, based on the distribution function, (x), find separation angles between UAVs such that the target can be always tracked by at least one UAV with a guaranteed probabilistic measure. Here, the guaranteed probabilistic measure is chosen by taking into account practical constraints, e.g. required tracking accuracy and UAVs' minimum and maximum speeds. Our proposed spacing scheme and its guaranteed performance are demonstrated via numerical simulations

Transformasi Permainan Kim Dari Arena Perjudian Ke Upacara Perkawinan

ABSTRACTThis research aims at describing the changes of Kim performance in the context of wedding ceremony in Solok city, Sumatera Barat province. Kim was initially used as one of musical performances in gamble, yet it has changed now to be entertainment at a wedding ceremony. This research uses analysis descriptive method by examining the Kim performance, textually and contextually. To see the changes of Kim performance, this research employs metamorphose theory. Research results show that changes in the Kim performances caused by the changes in people’s perspective about a gamble and music in the performance. Therefore, Kim has been transformed from performance in a gamble to be entertainment at the wedding ceremony among Solok community, in West Sumatra province. . Keywords: Kim performance, marriage ceremony, art metamorphose and entertainment ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan  untuk mendeskripsikan perubahan bentuk permainan Kim dalam masyarakat   Kota Solok Propinsi Sumatera Barat.  Kim merupakan salah bentuk pertunjukan musik yang dijadikan sebagai sarana perjudian.  Namun, dewasa ini pertunjukan Kim telah menjadi sarana hiburan  dalam konteks upacara perkawinan.  Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dengan  metode deskriptif  analisis yang menggunakan teori metamorfosa.  Hasil  penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perubahan permainan Kim terjadi karena adanya pengaruh pandangan masyarakat terhadap konteks judi dan musik yang ada dalam  pertunjukan  Kim.  Oleh karena itu, pada saat ini pertunjukan Kim bukan lagi menjadi sarana perjudian, namun telah berubah menjadi  sarana hiburan yang ditampilkan dalam  upacara perkawinan pada masyarakat kota Solok, Propinsi Sumatra Barat. Kata Kunci: permainan Kim, upacara  perkawinan,  dan metamorfosa seni pertunjukan, seni hibura
