Position clamping of optically trapped microscopic non-spherical probes

We investigate the degree of control that can be exercised over an optically trapped microscopic non-spherical force probe. By position clamping translational and rotational modes in different ways, we are able to dramatically improve the position resolution of our probe with no reduction in sensitivity. We also demonstrate control over rotational-translational coupling, and exhibit a mechanism whereby the average centre of rotation of the probe can be displaced away from its centre

ANALISIS YURIDIS REGULASI AMBANG BATAS (PRESIDENTIAL THRESHOLD) SEBAGAI OPEN LEGAL POLICY DALAM HAK UNTUK DIPILIH DAN MEMILIH CALON PRESIDEN DAN WAKIL PRESIDEN

Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui mengenai pengaturan ambang batas (presidential threshold) sebagai kebijakan hukum terbuka (open legal policy) dalam pasal 222 UU Pemilu serta menjawab problema yang terjadi di masyarakat tentang implikasi hukum dari presidential threshold dalam pemilihan presiden dan wakil presiden. Penelitian menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan statute approach dan conseptual approach. Perundang-Undangan sebagai bahan hukum primer dan buku, jurnal, desertasi sebagai bahan hukum sekunder. Mengangkat permasalahan mengenai pengaturan Presidential threshold sebagai Open legal policy, sedari UU Pemilu diundangkan sudah menimbulkan gejolak di masyarakat terutama terkait penerapan pasal 222 UU Pemilu yang mensyaratkan Pemilihan Presiden dan wakil presiden menggunakan ambang batas suara. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa salah satu putusan MK termasuk didalamnya Putusan MK No. 14/PUU-XI/2013 MK tidak berani menafsirkan presidential threshold beserta besaranya dan hitungannya secara matematis, hal ini menimbulkan kecurigaan atas pembuat undang-undang. Dari segi konstitusionalitasnya pasal 222 UU No. 7 Tahun 2017 banyak pihak mengatakan bertentangan dengan norma pasal 6A ayat (1) dan pasal 22E UUD 1945 dan lebih khusus dihubungkan pada putusan MK No. 14/PUU-XI/2013. Perumusan norma pada pasal 222 dibentuk pembentuk undang-undang dalam hal ini DPR dan presiden didasarkan pada kewenangan Open legal Policy, yang diberikan oleh pasal 6A ayat (5) dan juga pasal 22E ayat (6) UUD NRI 1945. Pasal 6A ayat (2) UUD 1945 tidak mengatur mengenai ambang batas, Ambang batas ini menyebabkan hilangnya hak partai politik untuk bisa mengusulkan pasangan calon calon presiden dan wakil presiden Kata Kunci: Presidential Threshold, Open Legal Policy, Hak Dipilih dan Memilih, Pemilu

Anomalous magnetic hysteresis in an amorphous Nd\u3csub\u3e54\u3c/sub\u3eCo\u3csub\u3e36\u3c/sub\u3eB\u3csub\u3e10\u3c/sub\u3e alloy

The hysteresis and crystallization behavior of an amorphous Nd54Co36B10 alloy have been examined over a range of temperatures. Crystallization studies show a glass transition temperature around 210 °C, two crystallization peaks at around 220 and 360 °C, and two endothermic peaks at around 530 and 600 °C, respectively. ac susceptibility measurements show an ordering temperature of 38 K for the amorphous phase. Four additional magnetic phases have been observed in the crystallized samples with ordering temperatures 17, 45, 90, and 190 K, respectively. Magnetic measurements on melt-spun ribbons reveal a coercivity of 6 kOe at 4.2 K. The coercivity at 4.2 K of a sample heat treated at the first crystallization temperature is increased to 8 kOe but is reduced gradually upon annealing at higher temperatures and is only 2.5 kOe in a sample annealed at a temperature close to the second endothermic peak.

Peranan Kejaksaan dalam Bidang Ketertiban dan Ketentraman Umum untuk Menyelenggarakan Kegiatan Peningkatan Kesadaran Hukum Masyarakat Berdasarkan Pasal 30 Ayat (3) Huruf A Undang-undangnomor 16 Tahun 2004 Tentang Kejaksaan Republik Indonesia (Studi pada Kejaksaan Negeri Mempawah)

This thesis discusses the role of the Public Prosecution Service in the field of public order and public order to organize public awareness raising activities based on Article 30 Paragraph (3) Sub-Paragraph a of Law Number 16 Year 2004 concerning the Attorney of the Republic of Indonesia (Study at State Prosecutor Mempawah). In addition it also has a purpose that is to reveal and analyze the obstacles that hamper the role of the State Prosecutor Mempawah in the field of public order and general peace to organize public awareness raising activities and efforts to increase the role of Public Prosecutor Mempawah in the field of public order and general peace to organize upgrading activities Public legal awareness. Through literature study using empirical legal approach method, it can be concluded that the role of Public Prosecutor Office in the field of public order and general peace to organize public awareness raising activities based on Article 30 Paragraph (3) SubParagraph a of Law Number 16 Year 2004 regarding the Attorney General of the Republic of Indonesia to Attorney Negeri Mempawah in reality still not maximal. This is because the frequency of counseling and legal enforcement conducted by the Intelligence Section of the State Prosecutor Mempawah only 4 (four) times a year divided in quarterly. The benchmark of success or failure of legal awareness activities carried out by the Intelligence Section of State Prosecutor Mempawah can be seen from the number of criminal acts that occurred and the number of cases handled by the State Prosecutor Mempawah. The obstacles that impede the role of the Public Prosecution Service in the area of public order and general peace to organize public awareness raising activities are as follows: (a) Lack of personnel to organize public awareness raising activities; (b) The extent of the work area of the Mempaks Negeri Kejaksaan; (c) Lack of budget to organize public awareness raising activities; And (d) Limited time to organize public awareness raising activities. Efforts to increase the role of the Public Prosecution Service in public order and general peace to organize public awareness raising activities can be pursued by: (a) Increasing the frequency of organizing awareness raising activities in the working area of the Defense Prosecutor's Office. For example: the implementation of public awareness raising activities carried out once a month; (b) Increase personnel in the Intelligence Section of the Public Prosecutor's Office to conduct public awareness raising activities; And (c) Applying for additional budget to organize public awareness raising activities

Endoplasmic reticulum thiol oxidase deficiency leads to ascorbic acid depletion and noncanonical scurvy in mice

none5sì: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) thiol oxidases initiate a disulfide relay to oxidatively fold secreted proteins. We found that combined loss-of-function mutations in genes encoding the ER thiol oxidases ERO1α, ERO1β, and PRDX4 compromised the extracellular matrix in mice and interfered with the intracellular maturation of procollagen. These severe abnormalities were associated with an unexpectedly modest delay in disulfide bond formation in secreted proteins but a profound, 5-fold lower procollagen 4-hydroxyproline content and enhanced cysteinyl sulfenic acid modification of ER proteins. Tissue ascorbic acid content was lower in mutant mice, and ascorbic acid supplementation improved procollagen maturation and lowered sulfenic acid content in vivo. In vitro, the presence of a sulfenic acid donor accelerated the oxidative inactivation of ascorbate by an H(2)O(2)-generating system. Compromised ER disulfide relay thus exposes protein thiols to competing oxidation to sulfenic acid, resulting in depletion of ascorbic acid, impaired procollagen proline 4-hydroxylation, and a noncanonical form of scurvy.openZito, Ester; Hansen, Henning Gram; Yeo, Giles S H; Fujii, Junichi; Ron, DavidZito, Ester; Hansen, Henning Gram; Yeo, Giles S H; Fujii, Junichi; Ron, Davi

Impaired heterologous immunity in aged ferrets during sequential influenza A H1N1 infection

The major burden of influenza morbidity resides within the elderly population. The challenge managing influenza-associated illness in the elderly is the decline of immune function, where mechanisms leading to immunological senescence have not been elucidated. To better represent the immune environment, we investigated clinical morbidity and immune function during sequential homologous and heterologous H1N1 influenza infection in an aged ferret model. Our findings demonstrated experimentally that aged ferrets had significant morbidity during monosubtypic heterologous 2° challenge with significant weight loss and respiratory symptoms. Furthermore, increased clinical morbidity was associated with slower and shorter hemagglutinin antibody generation and attenuated type 1 T-cell gene responses in peripheral blood. These results revealed dampened immune activation during sequential influenza infection in aged ferrets. With the presence of an aged model, dissecting clinical morbidity, viral dynamics and immune response during influenza infection will aid the development of future prophylactics such as age specific influenza vaccines

Large emergency-response exercises: qualitative characteristics - a survey

Exercises, drills, or simulations are widely used, by governments, agencies and commercial organizations, to simulate serious incidents and train staff how to respond to them. International cooperation has led to increasingly large-scale exercises, often involving hundreds or even thousands of participants in many locations. The difference between ‘large’ and ‘small’ exercises is more than one of size: (a) Large exercises are more ‘experiential’ and more likely to undermine any model of reality that single organizations may create; (b) they create a ‘play space’ in which organizations and individuals act out their own needs and identifications, and a ritual with strong social implications; (c) group-analytic psychotherapy suggests that the emotions aroused in a large group may be stronger and more difficult to control. Feelings are an unacknowledged major factor in the success or failure of exercises; (d) successful large exercises help improve the nature of trust between individuals and the organizations they represent, changing it from a situational trust to a personal trust; (e) it is more difficult to learn from large exercises or to apply the lessons identified; (f) however, large exercises can help develop organizations and individuals. Exercises (and simulation in general) need to be approached from a broader multidisciplinary direction if their full potential is to be realized

Non-Perturbative Effects in Matrix Models and D-branes

The large order growth of string perturbation theory in $c\le 1$ conformal field theory coupled to world sheet gravity implies the presence of $O(e^{-{1\over g_s}})$ non-perturbative effects, whose leading behavior can be calculated in the matrix model approach. Recently it was proposed that the same effects should be reproduced by studying certain localized D-branes in Liouville Field Theory, which were constructed by A. and Al. Zamolodchikov. We discuss this correspondence in a number of different cases: unitary minimal models coupled to Liouville, where we compare the continuum analysis to the matrix model results of Eynard and Zinn-Justin, and compact c=1 CFT coupled to Liouville in the presence of a condensate of winding modes, where we derive the matrix model prediction and compare it to Liouville theory. In both cases we find agreement between the two approaches. The c=1 analysis also leads to predictions about properties of D-branes localized in the vicinity of the tip of the cigar in SL(2)/U(1) CFT with c=26.Comment: 27 pages, lanlmac; minor change
