Benchmarking Software Dan Website Report Untuk Memudahkan Kategorisasi Device Berbasis Android Berdasarkan Performa
The popularity of Android based device could lead into an abundant amount of device choices from many vendors. There's a lot factors that one needed to consider before they can decide one device on the market that fully coping their needs. Some of whice are device's performance, size, and price. The benchmark application will put the device into trial which consists of CPU computation, JavaScript performance, Graphics, and Storage capability. Application aside, there will be a web service intended to provide service for masses in an easier and a simpler way.Based on the test results, the application can run well and can perform all of its functions. Score output are relevant and can give the user general view about the performance from the device on the market. On several later iteration of android version, USAge permission for external storage are very limited. Hence, DriveSpeed2 can't be run because the application couldn't write on external storage freely
In-beam spectroscopy of medium- and high-spin states in Ce
Medium and high-spin states in Ce were investigated using the
Cd(Ne, ) reaction and the Gammasphere array. The level
scheme was extended up to an excitation energy of MeV and spin 93/2
. Eleven bands of quadrupole transitions and two new dipole bands are
identified. The connections to low-lying states of the previously known,
high-spin triaxial bands were firmly established, thus fixing the excitation
energy and, in many cases, the spin parity of the levels. Based on comparisons
with cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations and tilted axis cranking covariant
density functional theory, it is shown that all observed bands are
characterized by pronounced triaxiality. Competing multiquasiparticle
configurations are found to contribute to a rich variety of collective
phenomena in this nucleus.Comment: 20 pages, 11 figure
Role of the cluster structure of Li in the dynamics of fragment capture
Exclusive measurements of prompt -rays from the heavy-residues with
various light charged particles in the Li + Pt system, at an energy
near the Coulomb barrier (E/ 1.6) are reported. Recent dynamic
classical trajectory calculations, constrained by the measured fusion,
and capture cross-sections have been used to explain the excitation energy
dependence of the residue cross-sections. These calculations distinctly
illustrate a two step process, breakup followed by fusion in case of the
capture of and clusters; whereas for He + and He +
configurations, massive transfer is inferred to be the dominant mechanism.
The present work clearly demonstrates the role played by the cluster structures
of Li in understanding the reaction dynamics at energies around the Coulomb
barrier.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, Accepted for publication in Phys. Letts.
Calibration of optimal execution of financial transactions in the presence of transient market impact
Trading large volumes of a financial asset in order driven markets requires
the use of algorithmic execution dividing the volume in many transactions in
order to minimize costs due to market impact. A proper design of an optimal
execution strategy strongly depends on a careful modeling of market impact,
i.e. how the price reacts to trades. In this paper we consider a recently
introduced market impact model (Bouchaud et al., 2004), which has the property
of describing both the volume and the temporal dependence of price change due
to trading. We show how this model can be used to describe price impact also in
aggregated trade time or in real time. We then solve analytically and calibrate
with real data the optimal execution problem both for risk neutral and for risk
averse investors and we derive an efficient frontier of optimal execution. When
we include spread costs the problem must be solved numerically and we show that
the introduction of such costs regularizes the solution.Comment: 31 pages, 8 figure
Fusion cross sections for 6,7Li + 24Mg reactions at energies below and above the barrier
Measurement of fusion cross sections for the 6,7Li + 24Mg reactions by the
characteristic gamma-ray method has been done at energies from below to well
above the respective Coulomb barriers. The fusion cross sections obtained from
these gamma-ray cross sections for the two systems are found to agree well with
the total reaction cross sections at low energies. The decrease of fusion cross
sections with increase of energy is consistent with the fact that other
channels, in particular breakup open up with increase of bombarding energy.
This shows that there is neither inhibition nor enhancement of fusion cross
sections for these systems at above or below the barrier. The critical angular
momenta (lcr) deduced from the fusion cross sections are found to have an
energy dependence similar to other Li - induced reactions.Comment: 1 .pdf fil
Evidence for Multiple Chiral Doublet Bands in Ce
Two distinct sets of chiral-partner bands have been identified in the nucleus
Ce. They constitute a multiple chiral doublet (MD), a phenomenon
predicted by relativistic mean field (RMF) calculations and observed
experimentally here for the first time. The properties of these chiral bands
are in good agreement with results of calculations based on a combination of
the constrained triaxial RMF theory and the particle-rotor model.Comment: Minor changes based on referee reviews and corrections of some typo
Sub- and above barrier fusion of loosely bound Li with Si
Fusion excitation functions are measured for the system Li+Si
using the characteristic -ray method, encompassing both the sub-barrier
and above barrier regions, viz., = 7-24 MeV. Two separate experiments
were performed, one for the above barrier region (= 11-24 MeV) and
another for the below barrier region (= 7-10 MeV). The results were
compared with our previously measured fusion cross section for the
Li+Si system. We observed enhancement of fusion cross section at
sub-barrier regions for both Li and Li, but yield was substantially
larger for Li. However, for well above barrier regions, similar type of
suppression was identified for both the systems.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, as accepted for publication in Eur.Phys.J.
High spin states of At: search for isomeric states and evaluation of shears band structure
High spin states of neutron deficient Trans-Lead nucleus At were
populated up to through the C + Au
fusion evaporation reaction. Decay of the high spin states including prompt and
delayed gamma ray emission were studied to understand the underlying nuclear
structure. The level scheme, which was partly known from earlier studies, was
extended further through our experiment and analysis of spin and parity of the
associated levels. An isomeric level ,
corresponding to transition, was established from our measurements.
Attempts were made at interpretation of the excited states based on multi
quasiparticle and hole structure involving , , and
shell model states, along with moderate core excitation. Magnetic
dipole band structure over the spin parity range:~, which was
found in the earlier Gammasphere study, was confirmed and explored in more
detail, including the missing cross-over transitions. Band-crossing along
the shears band was observed and compared with the evidence of similar
phenomena in the neighboring neutron deficient Bi, Rn isotones
and the neighbouring At isotope. Based on comparison of the measured
values for transitions along the band with the semiclassical
model based estimates, the shears band of At was firmly established
along with the level scheme
Of cattle, sand flies and men : a systematic review of risk factor analyses for South Asian visceral leishmaniasis and implications for elimination
Background: Studies performed over the past decade have identified fairly consistent epidemiological patterns of risk
factors for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in the Indian subcontinent.
Methods and Principal Findings: To inform the current regional VL elimination effort and identify key gaps in knowledge,
we performed a systematic review of the literature, with a special emphasis on data regarding the role of cattle because
primary risk factor studies have yielded apparently contradictory results. Because humans form the sole infection reservoir,
clustering of kala-azar cases is a prominent epidemiological feature, both at the household level and on a larger scale.
Subclinical infection also tends to show clustering around kala-azar cases. Within villages, areas become saturated over a
period of several years; kala-azar incidence then decreases while neighboring areas see increases. More recently, post kalaazar
dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) cases have followed kala-azar peaks. Mud walls, palpable dampness in houses, and peridomestic
vegetation may increase infection risk through enhanced density and prolonged survival of the sand fly vector.
Bed net use, sleeping on a cot and indoor residual spraying are generally associated with decreased risk. Poor micronutrient
status increases the risk of progression to kala-azar. The presence of cattle is associated with increased risk in some studies
and decreased risk in others, reflecting the complexity of the effect of bovines on sand fly abundance, aggregation, feeding
behavior and leishmanial infection rates. Poverty is an overarching theme, interacting with individual risk factors on multiple
levels.
Conclusions: Carefully designed demonstration projects, taking into account the complex web of interconnected risk
factors, are needed to provide direct proof of principle for elimination and to identify the most effective maintenance
activities to prevent a rapid resurgence when interventions are scaled back. More effective, short-course treatment
regimens for PKDL are urgently needed to enable the elimination initiative to succeed
Isotopic Dependence of the Nuclear Caloric Curve
The A/Z dependence of projectile fragmentation at relativistic energies has
been studied with the ALADIN forward spectrometer at SIS. A stable beam of
124Sn and radioactive beams of 124La and 107Sn at 600 MeV per nucleon have been
used in order to explore a wide range of isotopic compositions. Chemical
freeze-out temperatures are found to be nearly invariant with respect to the
A/Z of the produced spectator sources, consistent with predictions for expanded
systems. Small Coulomb effects (\Delta T \approx 0.6 MeV) appear for residue
production near the onset of multifragmentation.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publ. in Phys. Rev. Let
