    2017 Pattern Research Project Ria John - Mughal Art The Pattern Research Project involves research and analysis of contemporary patterns found in the textiles and wallcoverings of the built interior environment. Patterns use motif, repetition, color, geometry, craft, technology, and space to communicate place, time, and concept. Through this research and analysis, built environments - their designers, occupants, construction, and context - can be better understood. Ria John, VCU Interior Design BFA 2020, selected the Mughal Art for the 2017 Pattern Research Project. The text below is excerpted from the student’s work: “The pattern is a combination of lattice and flowers. The motifs woven on this pattern are floral motifs inspired by Islamic Art. Most of the patterns woven are flowers, leaves and animals. This form of pattern evolved when the Mughals invaded India. With the invasion, there was an emergence of Islamic art and architecture influence in India which is the reason for these motifs. These patterns were woven on mainly sarees which was intended to be used by women, but these patterns were also used on carpets, curtains, wall hangings, cushion covers, sarees in the present times but in the past, during the rule of Mughal Emperor Akbar, these patterns were used in shields, turban, architecture, garments, furniture etc. This pattern has been woven on the silk cloth. Mughal inspired patterns have evolved over time from the past, although they still use the traditional Mughal inspired designs but now they also use Hindu gods in the patterns.”https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/prp/1007/thumbnail.jp

    This paperdescribes the strengths and weaknesses of Barbara Dawson Smith’s The Rogue Report. The Rogue Report is a novel which tells about the aristocrat society in London. The writer’s purpose of this review is to explore the strengths and weaknesses by analyzing its intrinsic elements, namely theme, characters, and conflicts. The writer used a library research method and structural approach to analyze the intrinsic elements. In addition, the writer also adopted Erich Fromm’s theory, The Art of Loving to examine the theme of the novel, namely Love. Every novel has its own uniqueness, though The Rogue Report has some weaknesses, it is still a good reading because it has a bunch of value of life

    This final project report is intended to describe the English teaching and learning activities at SD Al-Irsyad Surakarta, and to find out the raised problems with the solutions in the English teaching and learning activities at SD Al-Irsyad Surakarta. It is written based on the job training that has been done from February until April 2006 at SD Al-Irsyad Surakarta. SD Al-Irsyad Surakarta has given the English lesson from first class until sixth class. The English teaching and learning activities at SD Al-Irsyad Surakarta is held every Monday and Wednesday. The methods used in collecting the data in this final project were observation, participation, and interview. The English teaching and learning activities at SD Al- Irsyad Surakarta consist of greeting, explaining materials, exercising, ending the lesson. It is held in the class and LRC room, the activities at the LRC room are watching video and games. The raised problems at the English teaching and learning activities at SD Al- Irsyad Surakarta are uncooperative student, unenthusiastic student, limited facilities, and uncompleted English syllabus. Solution of problems are applying the game method, making the interested of the English teaching and learning activity

    Radiative corrections of heavy scalar decays to gauge bosons in the singlet extension of the Standard Model

    Full text link
    Assuming the existence of a new real scalar singlet s0s^0 coupled to the Standard Model via a scalar quartic portal interaction, we compute the radiative corrections to the decay rates of the heavy scalar mass eigenstate to a couple of gauge bosons ZZZZ and W+W−(Îł)W^+W^-(\gamma), showing that they can give a contribution as large as O{\cal{O}}(5\%) and O{\cal{O}}(7\%), respectively. We also explicitly analyze in detail their dependence on the heavy mass mSm_S and on the scalar mixing angle α\alpha, finding that, especially in the large-mass region, these depend on the sign of sin⁥α\sin\alpha.Comment: 23 pages, 7 figure

    Performance Evaluation Of Mutual Funds In Indonesia

    Get PDF
    This paper is an empirical assessment of the performance of mutual fund managers in terms of “market timing” and “selectivity”, within the framework suggested by Treynor and Mazuy (1966) and Henriksson and Merton (1981). The relevant data set is a balanced panel of fifty five mutual funds, over a seventeen-month period beginning on February 2008 until June 2009. The result find that only four mutual fund have a good performance in market timing and four mutual fund have a good performance in stock selection. Both methods have a good indicator to reflect mutual funds performance.market timing, stock selection, mutual funds

    Testing for an irrelevant regressor in a simple cointegration analysis

    Get PDF
    This paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of the t-ratio associated to an irrelevant variable in a three-variable cointegration analysis. It is proved that the t-ratio converges to a non-standard distribution suitable for statistical inference. Although the test-statistic is not pivotal when the innovations are serially correlated, Monte Carlo evidence suggests that the size distortion can be considerably mitigated by means of HAC standard errors.Irrelevant variables, cointegration, t-ratio, statistical inference
