    Pengaruh Stemmer Bahasa Indonesia Terhadap Peforma Analisis Sentimen Terjemahan Ulasan Film

    Full text link
    Bahasa Indonesia memiliki banyak variasi akhiran, awalan, dan sisipan. Stemming adalah bagian dari prapengolahan dari analisis sentimen yang mendeteksi dan menghilangkan imbuhan tersebut. Pengaruh dari stemming pada analisis sentimen masih belum jelas karena dataset yang digunakan tidak terdistribusi secara bebas. Untuk mendapatkan pengaruh dari stemming terhadap analisis sentimen maka dilakukan percobaan dengan dataset ulasan film yang sudah diterjemahkan ke Bahasa Indonesia. Stemmer Sastrawi sebagai algoritma stemming terbaru digunakan pada penelitian ini. Dataset dibagi menjadi 5 (lima) kategori yang mana 100 data, 250 data, 500 data, 750 data, dan 1000 data. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukan bahwa stemmer tidak memberikan peningkatan akurasi yang stabil. Bahkan waktu yang diperlukan untuk menyelesaikan analisis sentimen memerlukan waktu meningkat hingga 310 kali lipat. Kenyataan ini sangat buruk karena stemming dapat mengurangi efisiensi dari analisis sentimen

    The gravitational-wave background null hypothesis: Characterizing noise in millisecond pulsar arrival times with the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array

    The noise in millisecond pulsar (MSP) timing data can include contributions from observing instruments, the interstellar medium, the solar wind, solar system ephemeris errors, and the pulsars themselves. The noise environment must be accurately characterized in order to form the null hypothesis from which signal models can be compared, including the signature induced by nanohertz-frequency gravitational waves (GWs). Here we describe the noise models developed for each of the MSPs in the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PPTA) third data release, which have been used as the basis of a search for the isotropic stochastic GW background. We model pulsar spin noise, dispersion measure variations, scattering variations, events in the pulsar magnetospheres, solar wind variability, and instrumental effects. We also search for new timing model parameters and detected Shapiro delays in PSR~J0614−-3329 and PSR~J1902−-5105. The noise and timing models are validated by testing the normalized and whitened timing residuals for Gaussianity and residual correlations with time. We demonstrate that the choice of noise models significantly affects the inferred properties of a common-spectrum process. Using our detailed models, the recovered common-spectrum noise in the PPTA is consistent with a power law with a spectral index of γ=13/3\gamma=13/3, the value predicted for a stochastic GW background from a population of supermassive black hole binaries driven solely by GW emission.Comment: 18 pages, 10 figures.

    TU Tau B: The Peculiar 'Eclipse' of a possible proto-Barium Giant

    Full text link
    TU Tau (= HD 38218 = HIP 27135) is a binary system consisting of a C-N carbon star primary and an A-type secondary. We report on new photometry and spectroscopy which tracked the recent disappearance of the A-star secondary. The dimming of the A-star was gradual and irregular, with one or more brief brightenings, implying the presence of nonhomogeneities in the carbon star outflow. We also present evidence that the A-star is actively accreting s-process enriched material from the carbon star and suggest that it will therefore eventually evolve into a Barium giant. This is an important system as well because the A-type star can serve as a probe of the outer atmosphere of the carbon star.Comment: 9 pages, 9 figures, 4 tables, a number of amateur observatories made significant contributions to this research.

    Proton Pump Inhibitors Exert Anti-Allergic Effects by Reducing TCTP Secretion

    BACKGROUND:Extracellular translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) is known to play a role in human allergic responses. TCTP has been identified outside of macrophages, in activated mononuclear cells, and in biological fluids from allergic patients. Even TCTP devoid of signal sequences, is secreted to extracellular environment by an yet undefined mechanism. This study is aimed at understanding the mechanism of TCTP release and its regulation. A secondary goal is to see if inhibitors of TCTP release can serve as potential anti-allergic asthmatic drugs. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS:Using Western blotting assay in HEK293 and U937 cells, we found that TCTP secretion is reduced by omeprazole and pantoprazole, both of which are proton pump inhibitors. We then transfected HEK293 cells with proton pump expression vectors to search for the effects of exogeneously overexpressed H(+)/K(+)-ATPase on the TCTP secretion. Based on these in vitro data we checked the in vivo effects of pantoprazole in a murine model of ovalbumin-induced allergy. Omeprazole and pantoprazole reduced TCTP secretion from HEK293 and U937 cells in a concentration-dependent fashion and the secretion of TCTP from HEK293 cells increased when they over-expressed H(+)/K(+)-ATPase. In a murine model of ovalbumin-induced allergy, pretreatment with pantoprazole reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells, increased goblet cells, and increased TCTP secretion induced by OVA challenge. CONCLUSION:Since Omeprazole and pantoprazole decrease the secretion of TCTP which is associated with the development of allergic reaction, they may have the potential to serve as anti-allergic (asthmatic) drugs

    Search for an isotropic gravitational-wave background with the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array

    Pulsar timing arrays aim to detect nanohertz-frequency gravitational waves (GWs). A background of GWs modulates pulsar arrival times and manifests as a stochastic process, common to all pulsars, with a signature spatial correlation. Here we describe a search for an isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background (GWB) using observations of 30 millisecond pulsars from the third data release of the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PPTA), which spans 18 years. Using current Bayesian inference techniques we recover and characterize a common-spectrum noise process. Represented as a strain spectrum hc=A(f/1yr−1)αh_c = A(f/1 {\rm yr}^{-1})^{\alpha}, we measure A=3.1−0.9+1.3×10−15A=3.1^{+1.3}_{-0.9} \times 10^{-15} and α=−0.45±0.20\alpha=-0.45 \pm 0.20 respectively (median and 68% credible interval). For a spectral index of α=−2/3\alpha=-2/3, corresponding to an isotropic background of GWs radiated by inspiraling supermassive black hole binaries, we recover an amplitude of A=2.04−0.22+0.25×10−15A=2.04^{+0.25}_{-0.22} \times 10^{-15}. However, we demonstrate that the apparent signal strength is time-dependent, as the first half of our data set can be used to place an upper limit on AA that is in tension with the inferred common-spectrum amplitude using the complete data set. We search for spatial correlations in the observations by hierarchically analyzing individual pulsar pairs, which also allows for significance validation through randomizing pulsar positions on the sky. For a process with α=−2/3\alpha=-2/3, we measure spatial correlations consistent with a GWB, with an estimated false-alarm probability of p≲0.02p \lesssim 0.02 (approx. 2σ2\sigma). The long timing baselines of the PPTA and the access to southern pulsars will continue to play an important role in the International Pulsar Timing Array.Comment: 19 pages, 10 figures, Accepted for publication in ApJ
