The method used is descriptive qualitative with an ethnographic approach to find and understand in depth an event of a cultural phenomenon. The research data is in the form of speech performance data or in the form of lingual text from informants through interviews. The results of the study found 14 elements used in Sijagaron saurmatua. An assertive speech act that functions to express the speaker's psychological attitude towards a situation by making suggestions (suggesting). Expressive speech acts that function to express the speaker's psychological attitude towards a state of appreciation (appreciating) and directive speech acts in which the speaker takes an advising action. And the commissive speech act is an expression of prayer (praying) with the function of kinesis speech, material, and traditional clothing. Context is in the form of ideological, social, cultural, and situational contexts. The meaning contained is a form of gratitude, fortune, and honor. Speech functions consist of expressive functions, directive functions, declarative functions, and commissive functions. The cultural function contained is as a form of entertainment, a means of validating cultural institutions and as an educational tool.

    ACCRETION OF HOT DARK MATTER ONTO SLOWLY MOVING COSMIC STRINGS

    Cosmic strings with small-scale structure have a coarse-grained mass per unit length ÎĽ\mu which is larger than the string tension. This leads to an effective Newtonian gravitational line source and to a characteristic translational velocity which is smaller than for strings without small-scale structure. Here, the accretion of hot dark matter onto such strings is studied by means of the Zel'dovich approximation. We find that clustering is greatly enhanced by the Newtonian line source. In the limit of vanishing translational velocity, the first nonlinear filaments form at a redshift of greater than 100 for standard values of ÎĽ\mu.Comment: 17 pages, 2 figures (included), uses phyzzx and epsf macro

    Exotic Differentiable Structures and General Relativity

    Full text link
    We review recent developments in differential topology with special concern for their possible significance to physical theories, especially general relativity. In particular we are concerned here with the discovery of the existence of non-standard (``fake'' or ``exotic'') differentiable structures on topologically simple manifolds such as S7S^7, \R and S3Ă—R1.S^3\times {\bf R^1}. Because of the technical difficulties involved in the smooth case, we begin with an easily understood toy example looking at the role which the choice of complex structures plays in the formulation of two-dimensional vacuum electrostatics. We then briefly review the mathematical formalisms involved with differentiable structures on topological manifolds, diffeomorphisms and their significance for physics. We summarize the important work of Milnor, Freedman, Donaldson, and others in developing exotic differentiable structures on well known topological manifolds. Finally, we discuss some of the geometric implications of these results and propose some conjectures on possible physical implications of these new manifolds which have never before been considered as physical models.Comment: 11 pages, LaTe

    Exact Speedup Factors for Linear-Time Schedulability Tests for Fixed-Priority Preemptive and Non-preemptive Scheduling

    Get PDF
    In this paper, we investigate the quality of several linear-time schedulability tests for preemptive and non-preemptive fixed-priority scheduling of uniprocessor systems. The metric used to assess the quality of these tests is the resource augmentation bound commonly known as the processor speedup factor. The speedup factor of a schedulability test corresponds to the smallest factor by which the processing speed of a uniprocessor needs to be increased such that any task set that is feasible under an optimal preemptive (non-preemptive) work-conserving scheduling algorithm is guaranteed to be schedulable with preemptive (non-preemptive) fixed priority scheduling if this scheduling test is used, assuming an appropriate priority assignment. We show the surprising result that the exact speedup factors for Deadline Monotonic (DM) priority assignment combined with sufficient linear-time schedulability tests for implicit-, constrained-, and arbitrary-deadline task sets are the same as those obtained for optimal priority assignment policies combined with exact schedulability tests. Thus in terms of the speedup-factors required, there is no penalty in using DM priority assignment and simple linear schedulability tests

    Information Dynamics in Living Systems: Prokaryotes, Eukaryotes, and Cancer

    BACKGROUND: Living systems use information and energy to maintain stable entropy while far from thermodynamic equilibrium. The underlying first principles have not been established. FINDINGS: We propose that stable entropy in living systems, in the absence of thermodynamic equilibrium, requires an information extremum (maximum or minimum), which is invariant to first order perturbations. Proliferation and death represent key feedback mechanisms that promote stability even in a non-equilibrium state. A system moves to low or high information depending on its energy status, as the benefit of information in maintaining and increasing order is balanced against its energy cost. Prokaryotes, which lack specialized energy-producing organelles (mitochondria), are energy-limited and constrained to an information minimum. Acquisition of mitochondria is viewed as a critical evolutionary step that, by allowing eukaryotes to achieve a sufficiently high energy state, permitted a phase transition to an information maximum. This state, in contrast to the prokaryote minima, allowed evolution of complex, multicellular organisms. A special case is a malignant cell, which is modeled as a phase transition from a maximum to minimum information state. The minimum leads to a predicted power-law governing the in situ growth that is confirmed by studies measuring growth of small breast cancers. CONCLUSIONS: We find living systems achieve a stable entropic state by maintaining an extreme level of information. The evolutionary divergence of prokaryotes and eukaryotes resulted from acquisition of specialized energy organelles that allowed transition from information minima to maxima, respectively. Carcinogenesis represents a reverse transition: of an information maximum to minimum. The progressive information loss is evident in accumulating mutations, disordered morphology, and functional decline characteristics of human cancers. The findings suggest energy restriction is a critical first step that triggers the genetic mutations that drive somatic evolution of the malignant phenotype
